Bold. Fearless. Relentless.
This is who New York City Jews are.
We will not cower before Netanyahu’s attempts to sow division and politicize antisemitism.
Today in Times Square, we made our message clear: Netanyahu and the State of Israel do not represent Jews or our Judaism. 🔥🔥
Torah Jews is LIVE in Times Square!
A day after @Netanyahu’s audacious speech publicly lambasting our Mayor, claiming NYC Jews are in danger, and invoking the Torah to substantiate his Zionist goals, we are fighting back!!!

The only elections we care about are the ones happening on November 3rd.
And no, Israel cannot claim the status of a democracy while fallaciously calling itself a “Jewish” state.
Israel is holding national elections in less than a week, and it’s the perfect opportunity to explain the Israeli democratic system.
Israel is the only Jewish country in the world, and it’s also a liberal democracy. Can a country be Jewish and democratic? The answer is yes, and Israel’s founders answered that question on day one.
On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion read Israel’s Declaration of Independence, which established a Jewish state and, in the same breath, promised complete equal rights to all its citizens, regardless of religion, race, or sex. Jewish and democratic were never two separate ideas. They were written into the same document, one highly influenced by the American Declaration of Independence.
A Jewish state doesn’t mean that everyone in Israel is Jewish. It doesn’t even mean that Jewish Israelis are religious. Nearly half of Israeli Jews describe themselves as secular, and yes, you can be an atheist Jew. About 18% of Israelis are Muslim, Israel is the only country in the Middle East where the Christian population is actually growing, and everyone has equal rights.
Jewish culture, history, and tradition shape the country’s calendar and its character. Democracy decides who governs it and how. Israel’s laws are written by an elected parliament, not handed down by religious leaders. That is the difference between a democracy and a theocracy.
Israel is a parliamentary democracy with three branches. The Knesset, Israel’s parliament, makes the laws. The prime minister and the cabinet run the country. The Supreme Court interprets the laws.
Next week, Israelis of all backgrounds will vote, because a lot is at stake: the direction of the country, its security, its international relations, and its future. Jews, Muslims, and Christians, religious and secular, right and left, will do what they’ve done for 78 years. Vote democratically.
We’ll be in Israel broadcasting live on election day, and we’ll keep you posted on everything. Stay tuned.
Always ready for a new deceitful spin @StopAntisemites
“Orthodox Jews move to the Lakefront development in Florida after years of planning and construction to combat rising housing prices in NYC.”
This headline seems innocuous, but it contains a covert distortion designed to promote the fearmongering campaign spearheaded by Zionists.

Find one country claiming to represent people of other nationalities. What a beautiful “democracy” @Israel.
Education should reflect reality and uphold the truth.
And the truth is that British Jews, or any Jew for that matter, should not have to answer for the actions of a political entity named Israel.
The lack of education on the distinction between Judaism and Zionism is a direct catalyst for antisemitism.
Why is this being glossed over?
“If education isn’t the answer, what is?”
Antisemitism has no place in our schools and colleges.
Sir David Bell’s report sets out what needs to change, informed by the experiences of Jewish communities and those working in education.

In other words the wishlist of the Israeli government to the detriment of British Jews:
🚨 NEW: The Government has accepted all 27 recommendations from the report to end antisemitism in schools and colleges
1. Recognise antisemitism as a distinct form of hatred, not just general racism
2. Strengthen political impartiality guidance, including limits on teachers wearing pro-Palestine badges
3. Establish a national hotline for school leaders dealing with antisemitism
4. Improve teaching about contemporary antisemitism and modern Jewish life
5. Teach pupils to recognise and challenge antisemitic conspiracy theories
6. Include antisemitism explicitly in school safeguarding policies
7. Train teachers to recognise and tackle antisemitism
8. Work with the Home Office and the Prevent programme to help schools identify when antisemitism may be linked to radicalisation
9. Encourage schools to adopt the IHRA working definition of antisemitism
10. Improve procedures for reporting antisemitic incidents, including signposting
11. Ensure antisemitic bullying and complaints are investigated and acted on consistently
12. Make clear in staff conduct policies that antisemitism is unacceptable
13. Strengthen Holocaust education, including antisemitism's role in the Holocaust, and encourage schools to mark Holocaust Memorial Day
14. Create more opportunities for pupils to engage with Jewish communities, including visits to synagogues
15. Make sure Judaism and modern Jewish life are properly represented in religious education
16. Improve media literacy so pupils can also identify online antisemitism
17. Provide better resources for teaching the Israel-Palestine conflict fairly and sensitively
18. Ensure schools have clear policies for dealing with antisemitism involving external speakers
19. Ensure education unions have clear antisemitism policies
20. Establish a dedicated support service to help schools, colleges and councils deal with antisemitism
21. Use some of the Government's security funding to help Jewish schools and colleges undertake educational visits safely
22. Run a campaign to tackle antisemitic behaviour at transport hubs near Jewish schools and colleges
23. Provide Jewish school and college leaders with mentoring and more security advice
24. Strengthen accountability for schools that fail to deal properly with antisemitism
25. Enable Ofsted and the Independent Schools Inspectorate to assess how schools tackle antisemitism
26. Make local councils identify local patterns of antisemitism and help schools respond
27. Share effective practice and guidance between schools and colleges
It wouldn’t be a stretch to think that these “studies” were actually designed to shield Israel from criticism by politicizing the meaning of antisemitism and weaponizing it to silence criticism of Israel.
All the while endangering British Jews by fallaciously exploiting Jewish identity.
Teachers to be banned from wearing Palestine badges as review finds 3 in 5 Jewish pupils have faced antisemitism at school trib.al/00Lztkq
Is this a covert operation to silence criticism of Israel by exploiting antisemitism? Such actions are the greatest catalyst for the “increase” in antisemitism.
Zionists turning purple, literally so, at the thought of Jews voting for the benefit of the city we live in rather than for some foreign country.
Care to unblock us @sidrosenberg19 we’d love to chat.
“We are Jews from Judea,” declares Netanyahu.
It’s interesting that Netanyahu uses the argument that Jews inhabited the Holy Land for centuries to buttress Zionism’s position on a Jewish state.
In reality, Jews abstained from immigrating to the Holy Land en masse for the past 2,000 years so as not to transgress the dire prohibition of “going up as a wall” and violate the fundamental Three Oaths that govern the Jewish people in exile.
The primary Jewish populations resided in countries outside the Land of Israel, varying throughout the centuries.
Throughout our long history, the Jewish people viewed the Land of Israel as the Torah views it: a Holy Land. A place where one can serve G-d with greater sanctity, but which also requires greater stringency in observance, as a transgression in the Holy Land carries greater severity than one committed outside it.
Think of a synagogue. Its primary purpose is to serve as a place of worship. Engaging in mundane activities, let alone violating one of the Torah’s commandments within its sanctuary, constitutes a desecration of G-d’s name and carries greater severity.
It was through this lens that the Jewish people viewed the Holy Land. Only individuals who wished to undertake its heightened spiritual obligations sought to live there, mindful not to defile the land. *It was never a political movement, a collective immigration effort, or, G-d forbid, an attempt to gain sovereignty.*
Such acts undermine the basic principles that Jews have upheld in accordance with the Torah for over a millennium, until Zionists transformed our religion into a GDless nationalist movement.
For Netanyahu to use this historical presence as substantiation for an “indigenous claim” is quite satirical.
In Judaism, redemption is not a nationalist undertaking achieved through political sovereignty, but a Divine promise of the ultimate restoration of G-d’s presence in the Holy Land and everlasting peace among the nations.
Zionism is indeed the antithesis to Judaism.
The ignorance espoused by Zionists on Jewish identity would’ve been comical had it not been tragic.
Our “shared identity” wasn’t born in the Holy Land. That’s historical revisionism.
The contrary is true.
The Jewish people are a nation only because of our shared religion. We were already a people before entering the Holy Land, and that monumental event that established our “shared identity” was the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.
It was then that Hashem gave us our eternal identity in the desert, binding us together as a nation through the Torah.
“And today you have become a people.” (Deuteronomy 27:9)
This is the only identity shared by Jews, the one cemented in our faith.
A singular “Jewish culture” is another fabrication. Cultures vary, as do ethnic customs. What remains constant are our holy commandments and traditions, passed down through the centuries.
Please do learn before lecturing others on topics you seem to be unaware of.

I see plenty of racists in my comments, so I am inclined to respond.
There is a reason Jews returned to Israel. This is the land where Jewish culture was born and our shared identity was formed. Jews have lived here continuously for thousands of years. Even when our communities were scattered across the world, our connection to this land remained at the heart of our prayers, thoughts and traditions.
We are not asking for your approval to live in the land our people come from. Our connection to it is recorded in our history, preserved in our culture and evidenced by archaeological discoveries across the country.
Palestinians who wish to live alongside us must reject propaganda that denies our connection to this land and seeks to erase our place in it. So should you.
Religious Zionist (Dati Leumi) rabbis shouldn’t be confused with Orthodox rabbis adhering to Torah law.
The Mizrachi movement is only 120 years old and emerged from Zionism, not as an offshoot of Judaism.
A necessary clarification: Rabbi Dov Lior is a “top” rabbi in Zionism, not Judaism.
Top settler rabbi rules Jews may harvest olives from Palestinian-owned groves haaretz.com/west-bank/2026-1…
Zionism negates fundamental principles in the Torah. In Judaism, the Land of Israel does NOT translate as the “State of Israel.”
Jews are not Zionists nor is Israel a representation of the Jewish people.

Replying to @Jerusalem_Post
What’s antisemitism is to allege that “the Jews did that” or had any part in Zionism. @BarackObama shouldn’t be using Jews when describing Zionists.
The preposterous notion that a foreign entity created in 1948 is somehow a biblical continuation of King David is ludicrous and doesn’t hold up to basic scrutiny under any lens, let alone from a Torah perspective.
The truth is that Jews and Muslims lived in peace in the Holy Land before Zionism, and Israel today is no safe haven. That is the truth.
Former US President @BarackObama's comments in Belfast suggesting Jews "took land" from Palestinians, when the State of Israel was established in 1948, are an appalling exercise in historical distortion.
Fact is, the Jewish connection to the Land of Israel is over 3,000 years old. From King David and for millennia, through exile, persecution, pogroms and the Holocaust, Jews prayed year after year “Next year in Jerusalem”, while always maintaining an unbroken presence in the Land of Israel.
To recast Jewish return to our ancestral homeland as some form of colonial dispossession, is not just reckless and historically dishonest, but it also legitimises the poisonous libel that Israel is some kind of colonial project, emboldens its enemies who seek the Jewish state's destruction and only pours more fuel on the fire of global antisemitism.
And by the way, it should not go unnoticed that Mr. Obama chose to make his remarks in Ireland, which has today become the European epicentre of antisemitism and vitriol against Israel.
Words have consequences. A former US President should know better than to give historical revisionism and an old hatred, a veneer of legitimacy.
The very notion that British Jews are automatically linked to a foreign country, Israel, and that their Jewish identity is merged with its nationalist ideology is antisemitic and a predominant catalyst for the rise in antisemitism.
