For the past 18 months, I and the @TimesofIsrael have been working to tell the life stories of every single person killed in the Oct 7 attack, to ensure that none of them are forgotten. The Those We Have Lost project is one of remembrance and memorial. timesofisrael.com/those-we-have-…

Netanyahu in Kfar Aza with Elon Musk who arrived in Israel today. Hard to stomach welcoming someone who just days ago endorsed a virulently antisemitic trope, has dabbled for years in antisemitism and has turned this platform into a cesspool of hate. It's quite frankly gross.

Since the singer announced two stops in Russia and one in Tel Aviv on Twitter last week, she was bombarded with calls for her to cancel the Israel show. Nobody seemed to have a problem with her concerts in Russia, that bastion of human rights.

ViacomCBS said that it reached out to Nick Cannon and was "deeply troubled that Nick has failed to acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-Semitism." They have effectively fired him from his longrunning VH1 show "Wild 'N Out." variety.com/2020/tv/news/n…
