Kharkiv right now ❤️‍🩹 I’m almost crying. We’re banned from organizing celebrations. Warned against crowds and gatherings due to constant russian bombings. But we’re alive, and we’ll keep living. That’s our collective "fuck you" to russia.

Just another day in Dublin.

S. Daniel Abraham, Slim-Fast inventor who advocated for Mideast peace, dies at 100 https://www.timesofisrael.com/s-daniel-abraham-slim-fast-inventor-who-advocated-for-mideast-peace-dies-at-100/

@revjouu.bsky.social I caught your sermon online and absolutely loved it.

When I lived in the United States, I befriended a Black Liberation theologian who taught me that things are often more complex, more frustrating, and, yes, often more beautiful than either the left or the right care to admit. Shaped by that I want to wish my American friends a Happy Juneteenth!

Saying that Greta Thunberg was kidnapped is spitting in the face of Ruby Chen, who has been waiting 614 days — 1 year and 9 months — to retrieve the body of her murdered son, Itay, and lay him to rest. You want to talk about hostages? Talk about him.

After encouraging my American friends to vote Mercaz, I have now also placed my vote for Mercaz.

People are free to wave whatever flag they want at a protest. I firmly believe waving the Mexican and Palestinian flags is not as politically effective as waving the American one if the goal is persuading Americans who don't already agree with you.

A late Eid Mubarak to my Muslim friends and a happy Pentecost to my Christian friends. Having just recently celebrated Shavuot, I love when our holidays match up like this.

A Jewish leader in Belfast has expressed fears about rising anti-Semitism following an outpouring of support for Kneecap after footage emerged allegedly showing a band member expressing support for Hamas and Hezbollah.

Happy Vesak to my Buddhist friends!

Congratulations to my Catholic brothers and sisters on the election of Pope Leo XIV.

Being concerned that Ben-Gvir will become the face of Zionism and Judaism in the world I have decided to spend Yom Haatzmaut convincing those of us in diaspora to vote @mercazusa.bsky.social for a pluralistic democratic Israel and a peaceful future.

The only party leader in the Knesset to condemn the police-tolerated mob attack on the synagogue last night, and to accurately call it a "pogrom", was Ayman Odeh. (Yair Golan, leader of the "Democrats", also condemned it but he's not in the Knesset)

@mark-carney.bsky.social I am not apolitical, but I am non partisan. Congratulations to Prime Minister Mark Carney on leading the Liberals to a victory that was unimaginable a few months ago. From one British/ Irish/ Canadian/ Albertan to another. Congratulations.

@rachelnotley.bsky.social I would like to encourage you to throw your name in the ring for leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party.

Despite the fact that Ben-Gvir failed to secure a single meeting with any mainstream Jewish community leader, despite sabotaging a deal to free the hostages, and despite his support for anti-democratic crackdowns, GOP lawmakers chose to embrace Ben-Gvir.

Great news to wake up to. Congratulations Canada 🇨🇦 The Liberals' win is a firm rejection of Trumpism, and an example for other US allies to follow. In Mark Carney, Canada has a Prime Minister who is a good friend of the UK and a supporter of European values. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Abbas tells ‘sons of dogs’ Hamas to free hostages, remove Israel’s ‘excuses’ for Gaza war https://www.timesofisrael.com/abbas-tells-sons-of-dogs-hamas-to-free-hostages-remove-israels-excuses-for-gaza-war/

Holocaust Remembrance Day and Armenian genocide: A moment of shared remembrance www.jpost.com/opinion/arti...

Let’s be clear: •⁠ ⁠“F Israel” isn’t activism. •⁠ ⁠Glorifying terrorists doesn’t bring peace. •⁠ ⁠And a band that openly supports Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists should never be on Coachella’s stage. This wasn’t a protest—it was hatred with a mic.

“F Israel” Chanted at Coachella by Irish Band Kneecap At their Coachella debut, Irish group Kneecap led “Free Palestine” chants, accused Israel of genocide, and blamed the U.S.—comparing the conflict to Irish history. They later claimed their message was censored from the livestream.

BREAKING: The Houthis have just fired at Israel. That's 3 rockets yesterday morning from Hamas, one in the evening from Hamas, one earlier today from Hamas, and now one from the Houthis. But hey, how dare Israel fire during Ramadan, right?

Yesterday at Coachella, Green Day dedicated a song to “the kids from Palestine.” I hate how celebrities pit our kids against each other. Both Israeli and Palestinian children deserve the world’s sympathy and care.

Today, 6 April, is #TartanDay – a principally North American day of celebration of Scottish heritage, although it’s also marked, unofficially, in Argentina. 6 April was chosen as it’s the date of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320. 1/4

6 April marks the Tartan Day! Erskine had a lifelong interest in the Scottish national dress and related etiquette. He published a booklet on the topic, 'The Kilt and How to Wear It' (1901), and an extensive essay series 'The Scottish National Dress' for his quarterly Guth na Bliadhna (1910–1912). 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Antisemitism among Irish Christians at ‘Medieval’ levels, say researchers https://www.timesofisrael.com/antisemitism-among-irish-christians-at-medieval-levels-say-researchers/

This needs more coverage. Anti-Orban protests in Hungary are growing. Police were forced back on Liberty Bridge last night, as Budapest’s major bridges were shut down. People chanted “fascists” & “Russians, fuck off”. Putin’s puppet & Trump’s friend is in trouble. 👏🇭🇺 (🎥 Szabolcs Panyi)

Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes ➡️ violent protests for over a year. Palestinians tortured and executed by Hamas ➡️ completely ignored in the West. But it’s not about the Jews, right? 🤨

We are outraged by King Mohammed VI of Morocco’s pardon of Islamist terrorist Abdelkader Belliraj—who, in 1989, murdered Dr. Jo Wybran, president of B’nai B’rith Brussels, chair of the Coordination Committee of Jewish Organizations in Belgium (CCOJB) and a Holocaust survivor.

Downing Street condemns Erdogan’s call to ‘destroy’ Israel

Congrats to all the Juno Award nominees, and thanks for all you do for Canadian music. Your work protects and celebrates our culture and identity, and we're stronger for it.

I spoke with Gazans who risked their lives to join protests this week, demanding an end to the war and the removal of Hamas Since Friday, Hamas has retaliated by detaining, torturing and executing protest and clan leaders 🧵👇 @thetimes.com www.thetimes.com/world/middle...

I’m a proud Zionist too. Am Yisrael Chai!

Take notes of the brave Turkish opposition, America. Dismantling authoritarian regimes is never easy or done without undertaking huge personal risk and often sacrifice. But the longer you postpone confronting tyranny, the more entrenched it becomes and the greater the sacrifice that is required.

Thousands sing 'Yiğidim Aslanım' at tonight's anti-Erdoğan protest in Istanbul to denounce the arrest of opposition leader and Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu. The song has deep political significance for Turks, which is associated with resistance and honouring fallen heroes and political figures.

A huge anti-Erdoğan protest tonight in Istanbul, defying a four day national ban on protests, to denounce the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu. "Break down those barricades without harming the police. Take to the streets and squares", Ozgur Ozel, an opposition leader, told protesters.
