Twenty-five years ago, John Ondrasik stood on that stage and sang "Superman" for the first responders of 9/11. This week, he stood there again.

Some promises don't fade with time. We Will Never Forget. 🇺🇸

Thank you, @johnondrasik, for honoring our heroes then and now. https://t.co/IquE8JQwlf

Segundo a Rolling Stone, o rapper Macklemore foi removido da turnê de Ed Sheeran na segunda-feira (14), após transformar sua participação como artista de abertura em um ato político anti-Israel.

A manifestação aconteceu durante os shows de Ed Sheeran no MetLife Stadium, em Nova Jersey, nos dias 4 e 5 de setembro. No palco, Macklemore gritou “Free Palestine”, acusou Israel de “apartheid” e “genocídio” e apresentou a música “Hind’s Hall” com imagens de Gaza e mensagens políticas exibidas nos telões.

Após a repercussão, Ed Sheeran se pronunciou nesta segunda-feira (14) e deixou claro que seus shows são pensados como um espaço de música, união e diversão para o público, não como um ambiente de conflito político. O cantor também destacou que acredita no diálogo e na diplomacia como caminhos diante da dor vivida por israelenses e palestinos.

Em sua declaração, Ed afirmou: “O sofrimento e a dor causados a ambos os lados [israelenses e palestinos] constituem uma tragédia humana. Há guerras demais pelo mundo causando dor imensurável; nenhuma delas deveria ser tolerada.”

A postura de Ed Sheeran importa. Em um momento em que tantos artistas transformam palcos em espaços de radicalização e slogans unilaterais, ele escolheu uma mensagem de responsabilidade, empatia e equilíbrio.

Jewish students at Wilfrid Laurier University returned from celebrating Rosh Hashanah to find mezuzahs on their residence doors smashed and torn down.

Smashing mezuzahs in a university residence is an act of hate and intimidation. Taking place at the beginning of a new school year and during a High Holiday makes this even more disturbing.

No student should ever have to experience this. Wilfrid Laurier University, like every Canadian campus, must be a safe place for students to openly express their identities without fear.

Discursos negacionistas ou antissemitas usam com frequência a palavra "vitimista" para desqualificar o relato de Anne Frank em seu famoso diário.

No entanto, a gerente de Educação da StandWithUs Brasil, Hana Nusbaum, explica que a jovem, na realidade, foi vítima.

Anne ficou confinada por mais de dois anos, com sua família, em um esconderijo em Amesterdã para não ser encontrada pelos nazistas. Ali, escreveu o diário.

Em 1944, ela e seus familiares foram encontrados e deportados para campos de concentração. Aos 15 anos, Anne morreu em um deles, de tifo.

Anne não foi vitimista, foi vítima. Vítima de um regime que decidiu que ela não tinha direito a uma vida normal, simplesmente por ser judia.

Rosh Hashana is meant to be a time of renewal and reflection. This year, it was also met with antisemitic vandalism, threats, and harassment in communities around the world.

From campuses to synagogues to the streets of Europe, Jews were targeted simply for being Jewish.

Hate has no place, anywhere.

Air Canada has removed a senior crew member from duty after allegations of antisemitic and violent social media posts.

The airline says it denounces hate speech and the promotion of violence and has launched a full investigation.

Antisemitism should have consequences. Hate has no place at 30,000 feet or anywhere else.

We welcome Air Canada taking these allegations seriously and acting swiftly.

Could the Abraham Accords be about to expand again?

Israel’s Ambassador to the UAE, Yossi Shelley, says another country could join the accords within the next four to six months, and suggested Kuwait may be a possibility. He did not provide details of any negotiations.

Who do you think it could be?

Grateful to HHS Office for Civil Rights and DOJ's Civil Rights Division for securing this settlement with Lincoln Memorial University, ending a policy that denied Jewish students' religious accommodations while granting them to others. This is what enforcement of Title VI looks like — and it matters. Thank you @HHSGov @HHSOCR @TheJusticeDept.

No student should have to choose between their faith and their education. @HHSOCR and @TheJusticeDept secured a settlement ending discrimination against Jewish students at Lincoln Memorial University's DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine.

NBA player @kylekuzma said what more people need to hear.

If you believe Palestinians deserve freedom, that must also mean freedom from Hamas, freedom from Iranian backed terror, and freedom from leaders who use civilians as shields.

On September 16, 2018, Ari Fuld, a 45-year-old husband and father of 4, and resident of Efrat, was stabbed in the back by a 17-year-old Palestinian terrorist. He heroically fought back, chasing after the terrorist and shooting him before collapsing. He succumbed to the knife wounds at the hospital. Ari was an Israeli-American, an active and avid lover of Israel, and a personal friend to many at StandWithUs. May his memory forever be a blessing.
