Amen.

A majority of Canadian Jews voted for parties OTHER than the Conservative Party. Another way to put this: "A majority of Canadian Jews rejected the preferred candidate of establishment institutions."

I'm running on the Hatikva slate in the Canadian elections of the World Zionist Congress. What's this all about? Basically, money. Billions of dollars that we can prevent from going to illegal settlements, gender segregation, and worse. Vote here: votehatikvah.ca/sign-up-to-vot…

Whiplashed by this morning's (thankfully) sudden ceasefire? We all are. ⬇️ Read Amir Tibon in Haaretz for what little is really known.

Analysis by Haaretz הארץ's Ravit Hecht today: "...Channel 12 News poll shows that this coalition still lacks a majority and public support. Netanyahu is still the prime minister responsible for October 7. Nothing will erase that." haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

Einav Zangauker, mom of Matan still hostage in Gaza: "No soldier should be killed to bring back hostages. No mother should bury her child so that another mother can see hers alive again. There is another way. A comprehensive agreement." 🎗️📜⌛️

👇 Why aren't Canadian Jewish leaders standing in solidarity with the hostage families against Netanyahu? Why won't they utter a peep about his policies in Gaza? Come to the Haaretz conference in Toronto, where we won't shy away from reality: htz.li/conference
