"In the second installment of And So It Goes, #HBO’s new two-part #documentary about #BillyJoel, the Piano Man explains why he wore a yellow #StarofDavid in August 2017, during his residency at Madison Square Garden, in his most extensive filmed account of his family’s experience in the #Holocaust.

“I was angry,” Joel, who wore the star on his jacket in the aftermath of the #UnitetheRight Rally in #Charlottesville, said in Susan Lacey and Jessica Levin’s documentary, the first part of which debuts July 17. “Here they are marching through an American city saying ‘#Jews will not replace us.’ We fought a war to, you know, defeat these people.”

Joel also called out #DonaldTrump for his infamous remark that there were “very fine people on both sides” of the rally. (#Trump, some note, said he didn’t mean neo-#Nazis and #whitesupremacists, but others attending the rally, spearheaded by white supremacists.)"

The Forward · ‘No matter what, I will always be a Jew.’ Billy Joel opens up about his family’s Holocaust historyIn a new, two-part documentary for HBO, Joel tells his family's Holocaust story, a part of his past he's still trying to piece together.

"Hilda the #Hanukkah-loving hippo is no longer wearing a messianic necklace in #MickeyMouse Funhouse.

In a newly edited version of “Nochebuena at the Funhouse / Hanukkah at Hilda’s,” Hilda appears wearing a necklace with only a prominent #Jewish star. In a previous version of the Hanukkah special, Hilda wore a necklace with a #messianic seal: a #menorah above a #StarofDavid above an ichthys, or #Jesus fish.

The Forward reported in May that the initial inclusion of the messianic seal was accidental, according to a source familiar with the production."

The Forward · Disney fixed a messianic necklace, but there’s still work to do on Jewish representation, says advocateDisney's "Mickey Mouse Funhouse" had a Jewish character wearing a messianic seal for Hanukkah celebration, she now wears a Star of David.

Can't write comedy like this 😂

"The owners of Borris House in Carlow have launched an appeal to see the return of a #historic over 200-year-old banner they believe was stolen for its resemblance to a #Jewish #StarofDavid, The #Irish Times reported last week.

The banner is believed to have been taken during the Festival of Writing and Ideas on June 6, the weekend 5,000 festivalgoers were present.

The Kavanagh family told the Irish Times that they believe the person who took the banner mistook the #Masonic Seal of Solomon for a Jewish Star."

Slippery slope red pill yadda yadda?

"#Cusack, a staunch critic of #Israel’s actions in #Gaza, shared a graphic (a screenshot of which is pictured below) linking Antony #Blinken, the #Jewish former U.S. secretary of state, to #JeffreyEpstein and #GhislaineMaxwell.

Each of the photos in the graphic contains the #StarofDavid, gesturing towards centuries-old #antisemitic tropes about hidden Jewish #conspiracies of influence and power.

#Epstein and #Maxwell are both described as #Mossad agents in the graphic, an unsubstantiated #conspiracy theory that has gained traction in far-right circles. TruNews, the #Christian media outlet, and Mark Collett, a #Nazi-sympathiser based in the UK, are among those who have trumpeted this idea."

I disagree with you @raph, but only to point out how special it is that your warcriminals shared uncensored evidence on Instagram (where all people located in @palestine got a #terrorist badge by #Zuckerberg). Only a fool thinks about the #starofdavid, #concentrationcamps, and #holocaust in that context, but not even the original #nazis been so ignorant.

Since the job of #Wiesenthal was much harder without computers and "social networks", I'm sure the #HindRajab foundation will hunt them down individually and in masses with #facialrecognition

#Passover — Dad was over for a few days. We didn't plan the outfits!

Have a good weekend.
