"On April 25, representatives of the historical #JewishBrigade, a unit of #Jewish volunteers from #British #MandatoryPalestine who served in the British Army during World War II and fought the #Nazis in #Italy, as well as members of the Jewish community and #Iranian dissidents, were forced to leave #LiberationDay celebrations in #Milan’s main march under heavy police protection.

Thousands of pro-#Palestinian and far-left demonstrators carrying Palestinian, #Hezbollah and Iranian flags shouted slogans against #Israel and the #Jews, calling them “#Fascist #Zionists”. #EmanueleFiano, a Jewish former lawmaker from the center-left Democratic Party who leads Italy’s Left for Israel movement (#SinistraperIsraele), said some demonstrators shouted at Jewish participants that they “should have ended up as soap,” an apparent reference to Nazi-era crimes." 🧼🛋

It’s live.

I wrote something deeply personal about my husband, our interfaith marriage, and what it costs to love a Jewish woman in today’s world.

He’s been quietly shielding me from hate for years. And somewhere along the way, he started carrying it too.

This piece comes from a very real place.

I invite you to read it here:

"Church officials at the #Cathedral of Saints Michael and Gudula in #Brussels publicly addressed a centuries-old injustice against the #Jewish community. The ceremony was attended by hundreds, including #Christian leaders, #AlbertGuigui, and other Jewish representatives.

The event centered on historic #stainedglass windows that portrayed a false accusation from 1370, when #Jews were wrongly blamed for desecrating #sacred Christian objects. These allegations, rooted in longstanding #antisemitic myths, led to violence, killings, looting, and the expulsion of Jews from the #DuchyofBrabant.

As part of the ceremony, the stained-glass panels were removed and replaced with a multilingual plaque, including #Hebrew, formally apologizing to the Jewish people. The text acknowledges that similar unfounded accusations across #Europe resulted in persecution, massacres, and expulsions of Jewish communities."

What does it feel like to love someone Jewish in a world that still wants us gone?

My husband could answer that better than I can.
He is the one who blocks the hate so I don’t have to see it first. He has been doing it for three years without me asking. And somewhere along the way - he started to weep for my people.

I wrote about that and will publish it on Substack tomorrow. About him. About what it costs to love a Jewish woman in this world right now. About the question neither of us can answer.

It’s the most personal thing I’ve ever published about him, us, our interfaith marriage.

Stay close.

#Israel at 78 still believes it can live by the sword alone. A reckoning is due
On the country's Independence Day, the nostalgia of liberal Israelis for a better, earlier state is a comforting illusion. The Nakba and the occupation were there from the beginning

[A very moving, powerful article]

from #MiddleEastEye #MEE
Gideon Levy
23 April 2026

At the beginning of this state was the Nakba: our day of celebration was the day of another people's historic catastrophe, a people who were here before us. Everything since has been bound up with what came before. What began in 1948 has not ended, not even in 2026.

From the Nakba to today, the basic principles by which #Zionism operates have not changed, nor has the policy of successive governments of the #Jewish state. The #Nakba has never ended; it has merely altered in form.
