    For the past 18 months, I and the @TimesofIsrael have been working to tell the life stories of every single person killed in the Oct 7 attack, to ensure that none of them are forgotten. The Those We Have Lost project is one of remembrance and memorial. timesofisrael.com/those-we-have-…

    Biden says he took each of his kids to visit the Dachau concentration camp when they turned 14. "I wanted them to see!" he says, slamming his hand down and shouting. "That you could not not know what was going on."

    Netanyahu in Kfar Aza with Elon Musk who arrived in Israel today. Hard to stomach welcoming someone who just days ago endorsed a virulently antisemitic trope, has dabbled for years in antisemitism and has turned this platform into a cesspool of hate. It's quite frankly gross.

    It's after 3am in Israel. I handed over the liveblogging reins @TimesofIsrael recently. But I can't sleep. The photos, the videos, the dead, kidnapped, missing. Parents begging for information about their kids. I'm a journalist first. But I'm human. I'm Israeli. I'm at a loss.

    ViacomCBS said that it reached out to Nick Cannon and was "deeply troubled that Nick has failed to acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-Semitism." They have effectively fired him from his longrunning VH1 show "Wild 'N Out." variety.com/2020/tv/news/n…
