For a change, actually a pretty solid international statement on Iran, Lebanon and Gaza/Israel, as well as on Ukraine. I suspect this could not have been possible without U.S. leadership. x.com/canadafp/statu…

@UNReliefChief Dear @TFletcher, how do you expect to be taken seriously on this important matter, when you fail to even mention Hamas in your statement?

What wonderful news! Neria Leiter, son of Israel's envoy to US, @yechielleiter, discharged from hospital two months after terror attack. But as Amb. Leiter said, “the road to recovery remains long and difficult. We are in need of miracles and salvation."

“We must recognise that antisemitism does not begin with a bullet. It begins with a lie, a slur, a conspiracy theory, or the simple decision to look away or, worse, to excuse it.” 🗞️ My op-Ed in @J_wire on lessons of Kristallnacht and Bondi wake-up call: jwire.com.au/the-lessons-of…

Powerful remarks by Justice Michael Lee, one of Australia's most respected jurists, in his Bradfield Oration, including his recognition that antisemitism is a concern not only to the Jewish community, but wider society.

A beautiful moment of unity from the Knesset yesterday, as new MK Elisha Medan, who lost both his legs fighting in Gaza, rises on his prosthetic legs during the swearing-in ceremony, to standing applause from fellow Knesset members.

OTD 1975, Daniel Patrick Moynihan delivered the single greatest speech at the United Nations, when he rose on behalf of the United States, to condemn the passing of the infamous 'Zionism is Racism' resolution.

"This resolution, based on hatred, falsehood and arrogance, is devoid of any moral or legal value. For us, the Jewish people, this is no more than a piece of paper, and we shall treat it as such." Chaim Herzog, speaking at UN's infamous 'Zionism is Racism' resolution OTD 1975.

'Gaza march forgets dark lessons of history." Powerful piece by @dailytelegraph editor Ben English, on the ground in Amsterdam, as we mark the anniversary of Kristallnacht.

That’s great @CDroegeICRC. And what did @ICRC do to ensure that Hamas upheld these standards while they invaded Israel and held hostages in Gaza, while using their own civilians as human shields? x.com/icrc/status/21…

@Ed_Miliband An entire speech on Gaza and not once do you mention Hamas, or how they are impeding access and distribution of aid …

I still believe IDF went to unprecedented lengths in mitigating harm to civilians in Gaza, but Blinken is right here to reaffirm “the target was Hamas,” as he explicitly rejected claims that Israel committed genocide.
