In Germany it's the law: when traffic jams up, drivers must split into lanes and leave a center path open for ambulances and fire trucks.

There is a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Yes, you read that right. And we cannot trust RFK Jr. and the Trump administration to be prepared to deal with this. We need a Democratic public health doctor in the US Senate.

NDP parliamentary leader @donvdavies.bsky.social says National Post column targeting NDP leader @avilewis.ca is "appalling, irresponsible and likely criminal" The column calls for Lewis to be dealt with by way of ancient "Jewish law" while invoking loaded language used by Yitzhak Rabin's assassin
Don Davies v @DonDavies • 1h This is appalling, irresponsible and likely criminal. Threatening and inciting others to remove a Canadian political leader for his political views is outrageous. Both the author and the National Post must retract, apologize and reverse this message at once. Samira Mohyeddin /jau Absolutely diabolical. National Post puts a bullseye on Avi Lewis through the rabid ramblings of Yoni Goldstein who invokes Halakhah and Leviticus on how to deal with Jews. Writing Lewis "presents a clear and present danger to the Jewish community" & other Jews are "duty- bound to = NATIONAL POST Yoni Goldstein: Jewish law tells us how to deal with Avi Lewis His Yom Kippur message was indefensible By Yoni Goldstein, Special to National Post Published Sep 29, 2026 Last updated 17 hours ago 4 minute read • 190 Comments

S..

@SMohyeddin • 10h = NATIONAL POST None of this applies, however, when a Jewish person presents a clear and present danger to the Jewish community. When that happens, Jewish thought is much more forceful: you must prevent the perpetrator from causing harm. Jewish law developed two character sketches to describe such scenarios. The first is known as a "mosar" — a Jewish person who informs to oppressive authorities, potentially leading to the imprisonment, torture or death of community members. The second, called a "rodef," refers to a Jew who is actively pursuing another with the intent to harm or kill them. In both scenarios, the law is clear that a jew is duty-bound to step in. Protecting the community and its members is the most important thing. 244

When Joe Biden took office, America’s allies were willing to treat the first Trump term as an aberration. That ship has sailed. The world is no longer waiting for us to come to our senses, and the trust we squandered may take a generation to rebuild if anyone still believes we are capable of it.
