A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

This is why I don’t donate to any of these so called ‘Veterans Charities’. Unless it’s the ABF, RBL, RNA, RAFA, RAFBF, SSAFA, Help for Heroes or Combat Stress they aren’t having my money. I’m especially suspicious of anyone standing in a supermarket wearing a beret claiming to be fundraising.

If someone posted this about a Jewish Senator, it would be rightly condemned as anti-semitism. El-Sayed was born and raised in Michigan, but because he is Muslim he is perpetually foreign and under suspicion.

Nor can Irishness! We are all citizens of the Republic. It's why I found passports gifted on a possible Irish grandparent so offensive. We as a Republic are a collective political community. DNA means nothing in a Republic. What's counts is the collective political community.
