I have a college grad son and a daughter currently in college. I told both of them & their friends this: If you’re assaulted on campus, tell the school, but also go to the local police. It’s a criminal matter. The school’s main mission is to protect its own interests. You need to protect yours.

Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.

Talking recently to family members of people snatched up and expelled to third countries by ICE, I learned: 1) All of those captured were in 287(g) jurisdictions; 2) None of the family members had known what 287(g) was and had erroneously thought people with no arrests were safe.

Disrespecting the Israeli anthem. Refusing to even shake hands with the Israeli players.

They keep using this line and it's nonsense for many reasons, but also, if that's truly the case, there are only about a dozen "fraudsters" per state: the insurers. No one else could benefit from this particular no-claims "fraud." So where are the prosecutions of health insurers? 🤔

The Israeli-American Council has formed a protest outside
the New York Film Festival premiere of "NAZA."
The organization has described the documentary as an
"anti-
Israel" film that "makes serious allegations about the IDF's
conduct in the Gaza Strip while ignoring findings and
information that contradict its claims" and fails to present
the full "context of the October 7 attack that led to the war."

Noa Peri-Jensch, who organized a protest outside the New
York Film Festival premiere of "NAZA," is arguing that
"compassion for Palestinian civilians does not require us to
erase October 7":
"We mourn every innocent life lost in this war, Israeli or
Palestinian. But compassion for Palestinian civilians does
not require us to erase October 7, ignore Hamas or accept
one narrative without questioning it. This is why we are here
today: not to prevent anyone from speaking, but to make
sure that our voices, our experiences and the truth are being
heard as well."

Rom El-Hai, a survivor of the Oct. 7 attack on the Nova music

premiere of "NAZA" that "it doesn't surprise [him]" that the
festival would screen a film made by "traitors" to the Israeli
cause:
"If there is someone here who wants to make a film about
genocide, about hatred, brutality and killing innocent people,
all the material is here on my phone. I took pictures of
everything. I saw the hatred with my own eyes."

Karen Toledano, a protestor who attended the rally outside
the New York Film Festival premiere of "NAZA," says she
feels like Israeli voices "have been stifled" within the creative
community:
"I feel like our voices have been stifled in spaces that have
called themselves inclusive for many years. Sometimes when
I do try to have a calm conversation and I'm encountered
with anger, I know in my head that there just isn't an
argument on the other side. But it doesn't make it any easier
to swallow when really all you want to do is talk about the
facts and set the record straight."
