On a Harris campaign Zoom, Doug Emhoff announces he will attend a vigil for the murdered hostages at Adas Israel in DC tonight. 🕯️ "I have not stopped thinking about Hersh and the other hostages that were killed since we received this horrific, terrible news about their deaths."

Emhoff: “I must be direct. This is hard, this is raw. I'm gutted. “I stand before you as the first Second Gentleman and the first Jewish principal ever in the White House. But in this moment, I'm here as a fellow congregate, fellow mourner and as a Jew connected to all of you.”

“I share what I’m feeling with Kamala as my partner, as my wife — not just as our vice president,” said Doug Emhoff. “She knows. She gets it. She cares. She’s committed. Hersh’s loss feels so personal to the two of us, just like it feels to all of you.” ji.news/3ASDswn

Portland, ME city council voted *unanimously* to divest from 80+ companies doing business in Israel — including Volvo, Chevron and Boeing. Portland is the biggest city in Maine. (Only 68,000 people, but still.) pressherald.com/2024/09/04/por…

A revealing quote from Portland's mayor shows why local officials think they should weigh in on Israel: "I can appreciate the desire for retribution ... I think our role collectively is to grab their shoulder & say, ‘It’s enough, it’s simply enough,’ & pull them away."

These are text messages, exactly as they were written and sent, between a mother and her two daughters during yesterday’s shooting at Apalachee High School. The family shared the texts with The Washington Post. Both daughters were unharmed and now safe.

These protesters target Dana at her home and this event because she’s Jewish. There is nothing about her coverage of the Israel-Hamas war that is different from most other news coverage, covering both Jewish/Israeli and Palestinian pain. This harassment is antisemitism.

U.S. confirms death of American woman Aysenur Eygi killed at pro-Palestinian protest in Israeli-occupied West Bank. Sean Savett tells me they have reached out to the Israeli government to ask for “more information and request an investigation into the incident.”

Tim Walz on Israel-Gaza: "What we saw on 10/7 was a horrific act of violence against the people of Israel." "We can’t allow what’s happened in Gaza to happen." "Those folks who are speaking out loudly in MI are speaking out for all the right reasons." jewishinsider.com/2024/09/tim-wa…
