There is no justice under this Iranian regime.
Brave protesters, political dissidents, and hostages are stripped of their basic human rights.
We must stand with them. We must ensure their voices are heard.
This brutality must end.

A network of homeschooling families in Ohio has been found to use neo-Nazi and white supremacist content in its education.
The right to a non-public education is conditioned on not teaching things harmful to the public welfare.
This must be shut down.

Bravo to the Government of Spain which, in collaboration with our partners, approved a national plan to combat antisemitism as part of a broad EU strategy.
The plan will ensure that Jewish life in 🇪🇸 continues to thrive and that democratic values are further protected.

The American Bar Association's consideration of Resolution 514, condemning antisemitism, is welcome but flawed.
It fails to include definition, which unpacks several forms of antisemitism.

Today marks 21 years since the horrific murder of Jewish journalist Daniel Pearl.
His courage in his final moments — making his Jewish identity known — will forever be a chilling inspiration.
We honor his memory and recommit to eradicating the hate that cut his life short.

21 years ago today, American journalist Daniel Pearl was beheaded by Islamist extremists in Pakistan.
Pearl's last words were: "My mother is Jewish. My father is Jewish. I am a Jew."
We will never forget his bravery.

Military drills, terrorist acts & attempted infiltration are part of Iran’s game plan.

A quote by Nobel Prize-winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel was briefly removed from the walls of a PA high school because it violated a "neutrality" policy.
Elie Weisel taught us all that we cannot be silent.
This lesson needs reinforcement.

We condemn the brutal murder of Tyre Nichols at the hands of five police officers.
No one should have to fear deadly confrontation with those sworn to protect them.
We are encouraged justice is being pursued with charges already brought against the officers.

This is how the Palestinian propaganda machine works.
Left: the photo of Omar Al-Saadi, described as a "youth" killed by Israel, being circulated in English.
Right: the photo of Al-Saadi—an Islamic Jihad terrorist killed while attacking Israeli soldiers—circulating in Arabic.

This is the tweet that someone reported to Twitter, trying to have it removed.
It obviously violates no Twitter rules, but it does expose the Palestinian propaganda machine's mode of operation, which is why those propagandists find it so threatening.

This, from , is vile.
The "Palestinian man" had a gun and was attempting to carry out an attack in an Israeli community.
And the subhead notes the casualties of the Jenin raid without noting that most were confirmed terrorists or even mentioning the Jerusalem massacre.
