On International Holocaust Remembrance Day I remember my grandmother, Cywia Wolberger, and aunts, Aliza and Perel Wolberger, who were murdered in the Warsaw Ghetto. Never again.

And "talmudic rituals" - classic code for antisemites, who are obsessed with the Talmud and its supposed evils. There are plenty of real things to be outraged about regarding the Israeli government, not this phony catnip for Israel haters.

Mark, read the article and other accounts online. Jews visited the temple mount - not Al-Aqsa - under police escort. There is no information that could possibly identify them as settlers (or anything else). It stretches credulity that the police would allow a group that size- too large to control.

Let’s see what @charlesmbrenner.bsky.social has to say about this…..

Gorgeous!

Gorgeous! What an amazing shot

Google Translate didn’t work on this. I’m stumped.

Wow

I am going to scream if one more person sends me a schedule but calls it an "itinerary."

itinerary = planned route or journey, or a document recording it. It is from the Latin, "itinerarium," which means route of travel.

Please spread the word!!

I’ve been enjoying your drawings but especially love this one ! 💕

Tom, it really is paywalled. I can’t get it, either.

Because sometimes we just need a laugh:

Wow- congratulations, KJ!!

Prof. Jasmina Wiemann has been selected for a prestigious Packard fellowship. This the first recognition of a paleobiologist by the Foundation!

That is 8 Packard Fellows in 6 years for Johns Hopkins University.

Prof. Wiemann's website is the stuff of movies: www.jasminawiemann.com

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law.
