We’ve lost our minds and our compass.
Sports is supposed to unify but tonight, as @israelsoftball played @SoftballCanada… a group came to disrupt the game. In addition to the disruption… they were yelling at #Jewish children, telling them to not listen to the lies their parents tell them…
Calling 7 year old children war criminals and calling for the killing #Zionists…
All while waving signs with #swastikas…
This crossed a moral line…

"Nova Festival Film" by Dan Peer.
It is a footage recorded by Hamas themselves, victims and first responders at the Nova Festival on 7th October. #NeverAgain – at Israel

That was poignant and profound. Thank you for speaking out so clearly, Mitch.

If you don’t see antisemitism in the campus encampment activity, you’ll probably find it more easily in the mirror. – at Toronto, Ontario

We are at a place in our society that we have ritualized a weekly public celebration of terror-led mass murder.
Don’t @me with apologia about freedom of speech or the conduct of the war.
In 🇨🇦, on a loud speaker, people marching to the drumbeat of the killing of Jews.
Awful. – at Toronto, Ontario

I've seen and shared many disturbing videos over the past six months, but I've never seen anything like this.
These were the sights today in New York City. Not in Rafah. Not in Kabul. In New York City.
This is domestic terrorism.

I too met with Irene today.
What a thoughtful conversation & moving testimony by a @ZAKA_Israel first responder to Hamas terror.
I saw images & heard testimony of things that no human should ever experience. Brutal, inhumane, monstrous, killers.
Bring those hostages home. – at Toronto, Ontario
Irene Cohn, one of only ten female volunteers for @ZAKA_Israel, Israel’s primary search and rescue organization, participated in a briefing for members of Provincial Parliament to discuss ZAKA’s tireless efforts on #October7 and the days following.
ZAKA, founded in 1995, has over 3000 dedicated volunteers ready to respond to any crisis worldwide, 24/7. In the briefing, Irene described the horrific scenes that she and her colleagues found in the kibbutzim, and attested to the overwhelming evidence of sexual assault seen by ZAKA volunteers.
We thank the MPPs and staff who came to listen to Irene’s difficult #testimony today.

With @LULIONSBASEBALL at @RacersBaseball this weekend, thinking about great memories on @Alevolpe10’s journey of college ball.
Go 🦁s ! – at Toronto, Ontario
I had a great last day of the @BTLmain exposure series against @RacersBaseball.
It was great to be invited to play on this week’s @NCAACWS D1 tour, thank you @CoachMeierBTL for everything.

There are 3* @TPSOperations Area Field Command centres currently set up in my neighbourhood - at a Jewish school & two plazas with Jewish businesses.
Don’t anyone tell me this is all about ‘peaceful protests of a war’.
I knew nothing but peace along Bathurst Street before this. – at Toronto, Ontario

Does calling for the genocide of Jews constitute harassment?
The answer might surprise you.
howard paskowitz retweeted
I did not censure an MPP.
I have however seen people I previously respected refer to killing Jews as “tactics”, Hamas flags flown at Queens Park “protests”, nazi graffiti painted on people’s homes & residences, threats called into Jewish schools & the JCC getting “protested”.
howard paskowitz retweeted
People in 🇨🇦 celebrated this as “resistance”. They called it “tactics” that we could debate but that we needed to “consider the context”.
I know, I heard them in their own words.
Journalists in tears as IDF shows them body cam footage of massacres by Hamas terrorists on Oct 7 with civilians and soldiers being shot, stabbed, tortured and burned merely because they were Jewish.
Their corpses were bound, gagged and riddled with bullet holes and knife wounds.
In one clip, a Hamas terrorist throws a grenade at a father and his son. The blast kills the father, while the young boy is covered in his blood. The child is dragged inside and forced to sit next to his brother, whose eye is a bloody mess after being subjected to horrific torture. One of the boys sobs: 'Why am I alive?'
Other footage shows IDF soldiers beheaded with their headless corpses left splayed in the streets, while a contingent of female soldiers were injured by a grenade then shot at point blank range.
A Hamas gunman brags on the the phone to his parents about 'killing 10 Jews'. He is using phone of a Jewish woman who has just been murdered and boasts that he 'is a hero' after killing Israelis with his 'own hands'.

Your opinion Dave but maybe you’d like to tell the 4 students from @CarletonEngDesg who won the design competition what you think.
Not to tell you how to do your job at @APPrOntario but shitting on 🇨🇦 design/engineering students shouldn’t be on the list.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today but antisemitism is for fucking losers. – at Toronto, Ontario

Can’t wait to hear this in person.
We are at the beginning of a new era in the balance of power.
Who is 🇨🇦 in a China-USA century?
Will we cast new alliances with other democracies? Should we use more realpolitik in our short & long-term crises.
We need to chart this course.
EVENT: Join @MaloneySuzanne tomorrow at 5:30 pm EDT in conversation with Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister @cafreeland to discuss how democracies can shape a changed global economy.

One of the positive reasons I’m on twitter is the work @nejsnave does on a regular basis.
She introduced me to @Brendapotterr who is also doing god’s work.
It’s not easy or perfect, but a willingness to help people in need tough times is noble.
We need so much more of this.

Ken, today is Tisha B'Av, when Jews mourn the destruction of their Temple & sovereignty in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago.
Since then, the Jews faced burnings, expulsions and the Holocaust.
Now there is Israel. We're thrilled & proud. And we'll never take lessons from an antisemite.
