On the eve of the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2,977 drones illuminated the skies over New York Harbor - one light for every soul lost that day.

Together, they rose and assembled into the outline of the Twin Towers at full architectural scale, visible from across the city. The tribute was developed alongside family members, survivors, and first responders - the people who carry the weight of that day in their hearts every moment of every year.

Twenty-five years later, we remember every name. We mourn every family. We will never forget. 🇺🇸🕯️

Fãs da série "Heated Rivalry" (Rivalidade Ardente) criaram uma petição na quinta-feira (3) pedindo que o ator judeu Kevin Zegers seja retirado da 2ª temporada. A alegação é de que ele teria manifestado apoio a Israel e posições consideradas sionistas.

A petição já tinha mais de 4 mil assinaturas em 24 horas. Houve também uma mobilização nas redes sociais, com fãs comentando “Free Palestine” nas publicações do ator.

Zegers se converteu ao judaismo em 2024, após se casar com a agente de talentos judia Jaime Feld, em 2013. O ator foi recentemente escalado para o papel do técnico Wiebe na segunda temporada de "Heated Rivalry".

A série é um sucesso entre o público LGBTQ+, ao narrar um romance secreto entre dois jogadores profissionais de hóquei.

Ou seja, uma série celebrada por sua representatividade e aceitação LGBTQ+ agora tem membros de sua própria base de fãs exigindo que um ator judeu perca o emprego por apoiar Israel e defender o direito de os judeus terem uma pátria. A discriminação não se torna aceitável só porque o alvo é judeu.

Até o momento, a produtora da série não reverteu a decisão de escalação e Zegers permanece na segunda temporada.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch on the 25th anniversary of 9/11:

"The men who attacked this city were terrorists. The men and women who ran into the towers to save innocent lives were heroes. 25 years cannot be allowed to blur that distinction - and shame on those who do."

Never forget. 🇺🇸🕯️

RT @michaeldickson: The first victim of 9/11 was Danny Lewin. Born in Denver, raised in Jerusalem. Captain in Sayeret Matkal. Mathematician. Co-founder of Akamai - the company that still carries a huge share of the internet.

On the morning of September 11, 2001 he boarded American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles and sat in seat 9B.
Directly in front of him: Mohamed Atta and Abdulaziz al-Omari.

Directly behind him: Satam al-Suqami.
When the hijackers rose and moved toward the cockpit, Lewin - 31 years old, elite IDF officer - stood up to stop them.

Al-Suqami slit his throat from behind.
Flight attendants Betty Ong and Amy Sweeney radioed that a passenger in 9B had been stabbed and appeared dead. The 9/11 Commission later concluded he was almost certainly the first person murdered that day.

Twenty-five minutes later Flight 11 hit the North Tower.

He left a wife and two young sons.
Israel is the only country outside the United States with a 9/11 memorial that lists every victim by name, built from Ground Zero steel. Danny Lewin’s name is on it.

May his memory be a blessing.
🇺🇸🇮🇱

Mais de 5 mil líderes e figuras públicas das áreas de entretenimento, academia, política, literatura, religião e sociedade civil assinaram uma carta aberta rejeitando a acusação de “genocídio” contra Israel e alertando que essa narrativa tem alimentado o antissemitismo no mundo.

Entre os nomes do entretenimento estão Debra Messing, Mayim Bialik, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Patricia Heaton, Jerry O’Connell, Boy George, David Draiman, vocalista do Disturbed, John Ondrasik, do Five For Fighting, Sharon Osbourne, Amy Sherman-Palladino, criadora de Gilmore Girls e The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, e Matthew Weiner, criador de Mad Men.

A carta também reúne acadêmicos, historiadores e especialistas de peso, como Steven Pinker, professor de Harvard, Benny Morris, historiador da Universidade Ben-Gurion, Sir Niall Ferguson, historiador, Deborah Lipstadt, ex-enviada especial dos EUA para monitorar e combater o antissemitismo, Simon Sebag Montefiore, historiador e autor, e John Spencer, especialista em guerra urbana.

Segundo os signatários, há uma diferença fundamental entre guerra como tragédia e guerra como genocídio: a intenção. No conflito atual, afirmam eles, o lado que declarou intenção genocida foi o Hamas, grupo terrorista que controla a Faixa de Gaza.

Criticar governos e decisões militares é legítimo. Transformar Israel no símbolo máximo do mal, distorcendo o conceito de genocídio e usando essa acusação para isolar, atacar e intimidar judeus no mundo todo, não é justiça. É antissemitismo.

On the night before the 25th anniversary of September 11, the Twin Towers rose again over New York Harbor - this time, made of light.

2,977 drones took to the sky - one for every innocent life taken that day - and assembled into the outline of the towers at full scale. The tribute was shaped by the people who know its meaning most: family members, survivors, and first responders.

Twenty-five years. 2,977 lights. Every name remembered. Every family mourned.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸🕯️

31-year-old American-Israeli Danny Lewin was the first 9/11 victim. Using his Israeli Special Forces training, he tried to stop the terrorists on Flight 11 but was tragically killed. A true hero-he will never be forgotten. 🕯️ https://t.co/E3Z82SsU66
