That trump had nothing to say about the attempt to kill Gov. Josh Shapiro during Passover tells you one thing: All of trump's own attempts to destroy academia by claiming the universities haven't done enough to keep Jewish students safe is a pack of lies. Trump doesn't care about Jewish students OR Jews. He cares only about turning all American culture and education over to white Christian nationalists who, like him, are the real anti-semites. #Jews #universities #JoshShapiro

On 15 April 1945 the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp was liberated. Some 50,000 prisoners including around 3,500 children died in the camp of hunger, disease or physical violence. Those who dies included Jews, Czechs, Poles, anti-Nazi Christians, homosexuals, Roma and Sinti. When the camp was liberated soldiers found thousands of unburied bodies.

People are again rationalizing #hamas into some kind of humanitarian organization, using #Israel's bombing campaign as an excuse to promote lies and propaganda that solidify the pretense that Hamas are the good guys.
They are not.
Hamas kills #Palestinians.
Hamas oppresses #gaza
Hamas started this war.
Hamas continues to hold hostages that it could have released every day since October 7.
And, yes, Hamas DOES operate from hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings. There are no aboveground Hamas bases.
There are many pictures and videos of Hamas fighters shooting at the #IDF from hospitals and schools.
Regardless of how you feel about the way Israel is conducting the war, that doesn't make Hamas a patriotic organization that represents the interests of the Palestinian people.
Hamas exists for only 1 reason: To destroy Israel and #Jews everywhere, all over the world.
Hamas doesn't care about the suffering of the Palestinian people.
Hamas doesn't want peace or a ceasefire or co-existence.
There are 1 million Israeli citizens who are Palestinians. If you ask any of them if they want to be governed by Hamas they will look at you like you are insane.
And you know what? You ARE insane to be praising Hamas, repeating their lies and propaganda, and pretending that they represent the interests of the Palestinians of Gaza.
Hamas is a terrorist organization. They have done nothing right, nothing good, and nothing worth praising.
Hamas has committed horrific war crimes. Hamas has committed crimes against humanity - all against the Palestinian people.
Netanyahu's conduct is reprehensible but the fact he is a monster doesn't make Hamas any less monstrous.
If you say nothing about Hamas while condemning the bombing campaign then you are supporting #terrorism and #genocide
Silence is complicity.

"Wherever we go, here we are, stuck in some version of suffering and pain and tyranny. Wherever we go, we have no choice but to try to make it out and through. The story is one of wandering. Of making it through the long days and dark nights."

"In synagogue, we read an adaptation from Michael Walzer: 'Standing on the parted shores of history, we still believe what we were taught before we ever stood at Sinai's foot: that wherever we go, it is eternally Egypt. That there is a better place, a promised land; that the winding way to that promise passes through the wilderness. That there is no way to get from here to there except by joining hands, marching together.'”

"But the only way, he says, to get to that promised land is that you link arms with each other and march through it, march through the wilderness. There's a wilderness in every generation."
Paul Waldman talks with Rabbi Yael Ridberg about what's at the heart of the Passover narrative:
"Just when we think there's no hope, holidays like Passover are meant to remind us that in the words of Michael Walzer, wherever you live, it's probably Egypt. This is in his book, Exodus and Revolution. Wherever you live, it's probably Egypt and there's probably some promised land that you want to get to, whatever it is."

I’m in pure survival mode.” But she loves to find the hollow laugh in a silver lining. So she points out that her business is booming. “#Comedy always thrives in the darkest times.”

"[W]ithin 48 hours, the message was distorted into something else entirely. The video has racked up more than 6 million views after being re-shared by several far-right influencers on X. It has become fuel for an #antisemitic #conspiracy theory: that Coca-Cola is making a superior version of its product for #Jews only. A chosen beverage of the chosen people.
The idea that “the Jews” are hoarding something — knowledge, money, vaccines, in this case soda — is hardly new. But the way this specific idea propagated, and the speed with which it did, is deeply contemporary. In the age of TikTok and X, every niche cultural product — even #Passover Coke — can become a political totem."

The New Republic · Trump Claims Nazis Treated Jewish Prisoners With “Love”Donald Trump made the unbelievable claim during a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"As we learned more about #Christian #seders, it quickly became clear that not all of the seders are alike. In this #seder tutorial, Pastor Scott Stewart of Agape Church of Little Rock, Ark., explains how to celebrate #Passover, with barely any recognition that this is a #Jewish holiday. It felt like Stewart was even telling #Jews the proper way to lead a Passover seder.
However, other Christian seders focus on exploring the Jewish roots of #Christianity. For example, in this recording, Pastor Tom Holladay of Saddleback #Church teaches his congregants about how #Jesus, who was a #Jew, and his followers would have celebrated Passover in their time."

Unpacked · Why are Christians celebrating Passover and hosting non-Jewish Seders?Passover is gaining in popularity in Christianity. Why are many churches holding Passover seders and what do Jews think about it?
This puts the Op in Propaganda
"By the time we arrive at the scene of #Jesus flipping the merchants’ tables in the Temple, #Jews are firmly established as the villains. “My house should be a house of prayer for all nations, but you have made it a den of thieves,” Jesus shouts at the #Pharisees after he ransacks the Temple market.
That quote is straight from the #gospels, just as much canon as Judas and the Pharisees turning Jesus in; the story is what it is. But the villainous depiction of the Jews is not part of the text.
Of course, the necessity of presenting Jesus’ teachings as better than the existing #Jewish practices is only mandatory if the show’s aim is to proselytize — which the show’s writers have claimed it is not; they’re just making good #TV, they said. But if the writing choices didn’t make the show’s #Christian mission clear enough, it’s made explicit by the testimonials the show posts from viewers about how the show brought them closer to Jesus."

Excellent article on #DaraHorn's new children's #book and more!
"When are #children ready to encounter a #Jewish #history of persecution and slaughter?
One answer is provided during the seder itself, which often ends with the traditional song “Chad Gadya,” or one little goat in #Aramaic. It’s a “cumulative” song about a baby goat that is eaten by a cat, who’s killed by a dog, who’s beaten with a stick, culminating with the Angel of Death being slain by God. One interpretation is that the goat represents the Jewish people, and the climax of the song signals the redemption of the #Jews. It’s a dark theme smuggled into an upbeat, if macabre, children’s song.
Making light of the #seder’s darker themes is a #Passover tradition all its own, and Horn is on board with it.
“By the time children are old enough to appreciate [the darkness], they own the #story. They’re characters in the story, and they know that about themselves and that this is a story about us,” said Horn."
