Jewish Voice for Peace at University of Michigan posts pro-Hezbollah, pro-terrorist propaganda

The misnamed Jewish Voice for Peace chapter at the University of Michigan posts pro-Hezbollah and pro-terrorist messages on its Instagram page.

Zionism is terrorism, not Judaism

“‘Death to Israel’” is not just a threat. It is a moral imperative and the only acceptable solution. May the entire colony burn to the ground for good.” From the @disorientalizing Instagram page

Once again, the mock "apartheid wall," now at U Michigan

Dr. Maura Finkelstein has just lost her job at Muhlenberg College because she threatened Zionists. It's hard to imagine that Jewish students would feel safe (or for that matter be safe) in her classes, unless they were avowed anti-Zionists.

And now the most absurd of all -
Tashlich on Sunday, October 6 
(It should be done on the afternoon of Thursday, the first day of Rosh Hashanah)
What should the well-dressed anti-Zionist wear to this event?
A kaffiyeh (of course), a tallit (also of course), and other "ritual attire"?
Possibly tefillin, like the arm holding the shofar in the photo?
And the slogan of this Tashlich? The decidedly non-Jewish
"Mourn the dead, fight for the living" (quote from the union activist Mother Jones)
instead of the theme of Tashlich.

From MyJewishLearning on Tashlich:

On the first day of Rosh Hashanah, Jews traditionally proceed to a body of running water, preferably one containing fish, and symbolically cast off their sins. The Tashlich ceremony includes reading the source passage for the practice, the last verses from the prophet Micah(7:19), “He will take us back in love; He will cover up our iniquities. You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.”

Six of the Israeli hostages found dead yesterday in a tunnel in Rafah identified by the IDF


Terrible news tonight. 

The bodies of six of the hostages were just found by the IDF in a tunnel near Rafah.

Times of Israel:

Overnight, the IDF recovered the bodies of six Israeli hostages from a Hamas tunnel in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, who according to the military were murdered by their captors not long before they were found.

The hostages are Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Ori Danino, 25, Alex Lubnov, 32, Carmel Gat, 40, and Almog Sarusi, 25.

According to the IDF, the six were murdered by Hamas a short while, possibly around a day or two, before troops found them.

The IDF did not have the exact location of the hostages but had indications of a general area where the six could be held. The military says it operated carefully in the area, due to the possibility that hostages were being held there.

Troops began to search a tunnel complex yesterday until they found the hostages dead in the afternoon. Overnight their bodies were extracted from Gaza and brought to Israel for identification.

The IDF says there were no clashes with Hamas terrorists inside the tunnel, and the guards who likely murdered the six fled the area.

The tunnel in which the slain hostages were found, in Rafah, is about a kilometer away from where soldiers found hostage Farhan al-Qadi earlier this week.

Goldberg-Polin, Yerushalmi, Danino, Lubnov, and Sarusi were abducted from the Nova music festival near Kibbutz Re’im by Hamas terrorists on October 7, while Gat was taken from Kibbutz Be’eri.

Times of Israel: Hostage families say hostages would still be alive ‘if it weren’t for the saboteurs, the excuses, and the spin’
Today, 7:46 am
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum says the bodies of six murdered hostages recovered in Gaza would still be alive if the government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had reached a deal with Hamas for their release.

“If it weren’t for the saboteurs, the excuses, and the spin, the hostages whose deaths we learned of this morning would probably be alive,” the forum says in a post on X.

“Netanyahu: enough of the excuses. Enough of the spin. Enough of the abandonment. The time has come to bring our hostages home — those living for rehabilitation and the fallen and murdered for burial in their land,” the forum writes.
