A federal court in California just ruled favorably for our client @Avaddov in our antisemitism suit against Pokemon, permitting the case to advance for all nine causes of action. You can read the ruling here:

UPDATE: The National Jewish Advocacy Center has sent a letter demanding that organizers of an anti-Israel boycott bicycle ride targeting Jewish-owned businesses in Philadelphia “preserve evidence” in anticipation of potential legal action, and warned that attorneys will be on site Sunday to document any criminal activity.
According to @MarkGoldfeder, the center also sent enforcement letters to Philadelphia District Attorney Lawrence Krasner, Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel and Pennsylvania Attorney General David Sunday, identifying potential offenses including harassment, assault, terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and defiant trespass.
It asks police to activate body-worn cameras at each of the targeted businesses and requests that an assistant district attorney be available by phone during the event.
Obviously everyone is hoping for peace, a successful, fun, and well-attended food crawl supporting the Jewish-owned businesses, and that the "boycott ride" cyclists keep to themselves. But the last 3 years have been very instructive, so the lawyers are prepared.
Greek Cypriots would like a word with you. @grok, how many Greeks Cypriots were dispossessed of their homes due to the Turkish invasion?
Wrong. Israel was re-established in 140 BCE by the Hasmonean Dynasty. The Hasmoneans embodied "traditional Judaism" by definition, being more than 2,000 years old. The Messiah had not arrived. Therefore, traditional Judaism does not require the Messiah to re-establish Israel.

Dear Jew-hating Philly "Boycott Ride" organizers:
If you don't like our small business owners, wait till you meet our lawyers.
Here is what @NJACLaw has already done in preparation for your antisemitic stunt:
1) Enforcement letters to the AG, DA, and Police Commissioner, reminding them which statutes apply, which specific crimes trigger it, and providing the proof of motive.
2) Preservation notices to each of you, explaining that litigation is anticipated and that deleting relevant evidence to prevent its use in court can lead to sanctions, including a jury instruction that the missing evidence was unfavorable to you.
3) Organized volunteers and lawyers on site so we have a litigation-grade record ready. No he-said/she-said disputes this time.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Game on.
El-Sayed belongs to a branch of Islam that believes the most moral person to have ever existed presided over the mass beheading of hundreds of Jewish men and the distribution of that tribe's women as sex slaves. But besides that, a true friend of the Jews.
Let's be honest. You aren't boycotting anything food related. You'd raid Bibi's Zionist fridge if you could.

Are you saying Bukele sat down with the gangs, told them he would lock them up for decades, put them on a super basic diet, make them sleep on bunk beds without mattresses, and they just agreed to it?

“But Palestinians can’t move freely in Area C.”
Meanwhile, Israelis entering Area A:
Areas B and C are an interesting point to raise, but saying Area A is under Israeli rule is like saying Lesotho is under South African rule.
And that there are consequences of the election on Gaza is irrelevant for whether Gaza should have voice in Israeli decisionmaking. All elections have impacts on country’s neighbors.

Israelis speak Hebrew- a language we kept for more than 2000 years across the diaspora. In the meantime- the Irish barely speak Gaeilge. Nobody stopping them or forcing English today. They just dropping the ball on their own culture while fetishing Palestinians

I feel lucky to be Israeli.
Out of 14m Palestinians in the Middle East, Arab Israelis are the *only* ones that get a vote.
Palestinians in West Bank haven't voted since 2006, stuck under a 90 year old dictator.
Lebanese Palestinians don't even get the citizenship.
Jordanian Palestinians have a.........king.
You may not like this, but the best thing to happen to Palestinians is to live inside Israel.
Eat your heart out.
Wonder what the clown, @nasdaily is feeling right now after Zionists have shed their mask about what they actually feel about "Arab Israelis" 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

I see Matt is still biting off more than he can chew. I'll lay out the positions of the Joint List that make it an unacceptable coalition partner to Zionist parties -- and since Matt knows neither Hebrew nor Arabic, I'll translate where relevant to English. 🧵

The solution is not to ban balad or otzma, but to force them to share the same office space and copy paper

Tell me you know nothing about Israeli politics without telling me.
It would be like a Marco Rubio- Bernie Sanders ticket.
If Gadi Eisenkot and the opposition bloc are remotely serious about getting rid of Netanyahu, and about Israel’s democratic future, they’ll do the obvious, strategic, and non-racist thing of forming a government with the Arab parties.
A Jewish-Arab political partnership is necessary to meet this political moment, and for any shared future.

Is German democracy "hollow" because the AfD isn't in a governing coalition? Or does this only apply to Israel?

Wrong again @pass_blue. Under the 1947 UN Headquarters Agreement the headquarters district in NYC is in fact still US territory and US law applies there unless specified otherwise.
You should actually read the agreement. I did.
Mike Waltz, US envoy to UN, is confused as he shouts at Cuban diplomats, saying: "This is America!" but the UN is international territory: UN 101
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The UN headquarters district remains US territory under the 1947 Headquarters Agreement, where federal, state and local US law applies except as otherwise provided; the agreement grants inviolability but does not transfer sovereignty to the UN.

They rejected citizenship when offered back in 1967, and thus were given permanent residency status instead. They vote in PA elections (when actually held), and are eligible to apply for Israeli citizenship at any time.
You call public executions a "spectacle." Are you suggesting ideologies that utilize public executions, and otherwise strongly advocate for the death penalty, are barbaric?
There's no denying Mr Ewert committed egregious acts of violence against women that landed him in prison more than four decades ago which still have impacts today and there are some legitimate concerns about his time at McGill, which are currently being investigated.
As you read the room and the comments here on X and elsewhere, and refer to "the only good violence, is the violent agreement 99% of us" have "on this issue" (anonymous posters and bots included), are death threats of the kind reported below part of the "good violence" you have in mind?
You get the responses to posts like this one you've just made in your notifications and I'd suggest that "judging by the comments" we haven't made much progress in this country since the spectacle of public executions was abolished more than 150 years ago. The spectacle has just evolved.
Keep up the posts Dr Garber, especially the one's where you mention my daughters while you lecture about what constitutes "socially acceptable thought".

We cannot talk about rehabilitation as if all crimes are the same. Car theft …robbery ..fraud are not in the same category as violent rape and murder particularly of minors. I’d argue that for those crimes there’s no such thing as « he’s done his time ..so he’s like the rest of us ». He does not deserve the same opportunities as the rest of us who raise and protect our families , pay taxes , and contribute to society . Judging by the comments , the only good violence , is the violent agreement 99% of us seem to be in on this issue.
Ewert raped and murdered a 19 year old and then raped and tried to murder a 15 year old, leaving her paralyzed and blind.
Ewert should never have been released from jail while breathing, never mind released into an environment where young women are everywhere. Thankfully, he’s been taken back into custody on suspicion of breaching his release conditions and/or being a safety risk.
Also, a 63 year old rapist/murderer who will NEVER practice law in any capacity doesn’t deserve to take spots away from young, hard working people trying to get into law school.
He can clean toilets in hell.
