My Op-Ed for @Jerusalem_Post came straight from my heart. Non-Jewish allies most certainly can be the key factor to combating antisemitism effectively 🙏🏼🤍
🔴 Want to know what really happens at Gaza aid sites from someone who spent weeks securing them?
I’ve returned from a third tour in Gaza, and here’s my experience of what really goes on at SDS that is missing from the conversation👇
I'm seeing a pattern.
Gaza is in ruins, 80% of Hamas are dead including their leaders.
"Hamas is winning"
Hezbollah shattered to pieces, can't even use a cellphone to communicate, complete loss of leadership, Nasrallah is with Allah -
"Israel lost"
Iran missed every target they had with over 300 missles, lost all its air defense and left naked, lost its secret Nuclear research facility, lost its proxy in Gaza, lost its billions of dollars in investment over 20 years in Lebanon
"Israel is defeated and scared"
The Houthis, hahaha...
Listen, I've done some serious acid and shrooms in my life, I've never gotten that delusional.
I want some of what they're taking.
Some background. As a Dutch Jew 🇳🇱, here's what I grew up with: football hooligans singing "we're hunting for Jews", or "Hamas Hamas, all Jews on Gas". They're classics. Our synagogues are walled 3x times over. We go nowhere without guards. I'm more concerned tourists didn't know
And don't any of you dare pull "normal young men don't sing racist songs" because racism in soccer is so prevalent that there are international campaigns against it. It's all bad and it should all stop, including from Israelis. Not everyone is massacred in the street for it.
Jews have to be perfect, because when they misbehave (like young men of all backgrounds) the antisemites have an excuse to massacre them. But also, when Jews are well behaved, they control the world and are supremacists who need to die. Because they actually just hate all Jews.
Can we now finally stop the academic debate over whether anti-Zionism is or is not antisemitism?
Jewish being ambushed, beaten and stabbed once again on the streets of Europe is not something that Jews need to explain.
It's something that non-Jews need to prevent.
End of.
You’ve gotta be kidding.
You condemn”the broadening”?!
You just aren’t able to blurt the simple words “I condemn the Islamic Republic of Iran who just shot roughly 180 deadly ballistic missiles towards the citizens of Israel.”
Quit.
A message of solidarity from Lebanese 🇱🇧 singer Carine Bassili to Israel 🇮🇱 and the Jewish people, singing “October Rain” in Arabic. Worth listening and sharing
This is the first time a song in Arabic has been dedicated to Israel as a gift of solidarity.
Bassili decided to translate the song into Arabic following the October 7th massacre against Israel, honoring the 1,200 Israelis who were slaughtered by Hamas and the 101 Israeli children, women, men, and elderly still in captivity in Gaza by Hamas.
Joining this message of solidarity with @carinebassili are vibrant and vocal non-Jewish speakers from across the Middle East, such as:
@ACTBrigitte 🇱🇧
@JustLuai 🇾🇪
@RawaneOsmane 🇱🇧🇸🇾
@MaryamYounnes 🇱🇧
@lalshareef 🇦🇪
Fatema El Harbi 🇧🇭
And myself
Along with many others who couldn’t publish their names for security reasons.
This message of solidarity worth sharing.
Nasrallah was *my* terrorist.
Each one of us grows up watching a terrorist on TV threatening to kill us.
For many Americans, it was Osama Bin Laden.
For me, it was Nasrallah.
I grew up in Northern Israel.
Every few years, Nasrallah would target us with a barrage of rockets. His rockets would be directed at nearby Jewish towns, but of course they miss and fall in Muslim towns in Israel. My town was one of them.
Imagine the irony.
US college students can not understand this.
*My* terrorist is dead today. It's great news not just for me, but for many Syrians, Lebanese, Saudis, and..Israelis.
I am naively optimistic.
But I hope today sends a signal to people in the Middle East that moderation, acceptance of reality and coexistence is the only way.
Terrorism way will always end up in failure. Always.
Even if it takes 32 years to arrive.
בתמונה למעלה 3 חברים לכיתה בתיכון הימלפרב בירושלים- ענר, בן והירש.
ענר הוא גיבור ישראל שב-7 באוקטובר הדף 8 רימונים ממיגונית ליד רעים להגן על חיים של 30 צעירים שהסתתרו שם עד שהרימון התשיעי הכריע אותו.
בן הוא גיבור ישראל שיצא מהבית להילחם בלי שזומן למילואים, נלחם בעזה כלוחם הנדסה קרבית ונפל ב-3 בדצמבר. הותיר אחריו צוואה בה כתב: "תמיד אמרתי שאם אצטרך למות הלוואי וזה יהיה בהגנה על אחרים ועל המדינה".
והירש גיבור ישראל שנחטף ב-7 באוקטובר פצוע אחרי שנקטעה ידו, שרד מעל 300 ימים בשבי חמאס בעינוי אינסופי ולבסוף הוצא להורג ונרצח במנהרה יחד עם 5 חטופים נוספים.
הסיפור של שלושתם הוא הסיפור של הגבורה הישראלית ושל הכאב האינסופי מאז ה-7 באוקטובר💔🇮🇱
שנהיה ראויים לכל אחד מהם.
THIS. EVERY WORD.
This is a 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 watch.
This is 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 reporting.
Sky News Australia tears apart arrogant and hypocritical Leftists like Owen Jones.
Sky News Australia has been doing an incredible job compared to their disgraced UK counterparts (now different ownership)
20 years-old Israeli singer, Eden Golan, was dancing with Finish singer Käärijä today, the video got thousands of hateful comments to the point that the Finish singer had to apologize for being seen with this Israeli girl.
Can you think of any other country which an artist will have to apologize for being seen with another artist from that nation?
“Dancing with this British singer isn’t an endorsement of Rishi Sunak”
“Dancing with this Chinese singer isn’t a political statement”
“Dancing with this Russian singer isn’t a political statement”
“Dancing with this Palestinian singer isn’t a support for Hamas or the PA”
“Dancing with this American singer isn’t a political endorsement of Trump”
No, you can’t, because no other country and no other people have been dehumanized this way.
This isn’t about peace, it’s not even about love for Palestinians. It’s just about your hate to the only Jewish state.
World leading urban warfare expert @SpencerGuard:
"When I say Israel has taken more steps than any nation in preventing casualties, I mean it!
And if you're saying you shouldn't evacuate cities [#Rafah], you should leave them there, then that's putting civilians in harms way."
In Athens, Greece, a crowd of Pro-Palestinian protestors is combing the streets for Israelis who are staying at a nearby hotel. Many are even trying to break into the hotel to get to the Israelis inside.
A group of people is being hunted and attacked solely because of the country they come from because the dehumanization of Israelis has been allowed to escalate unchecked.
We said it was this bad and you refused to listen.
Dear College Students,
If you are one of the many activists occupying campuses and chanting ‘Resistance is Justified’ then this is what you support.
The people you support live-streamed the kidnapping of the Eliaz family on Oct 7th.
They ordered Tomer Eliaz, 17, to knock on neighbours doors at gun point.
They then lured the neighbors outside and riddled them with bullets.
Then then executed the 17 year old and his mother, Dikla Arava Eliaz.
The families father, Noam was shot in the leg and kidnapped.
Their daughters Dafna and Ella Elyakim, 7, were also taken captive in Gaza where they remained for over 50 days.
College students, this is the reality of what you support.
Went to UCLA this afternoon to talk to people peacefully. Few interesting takeaways:
1) Most of them openly say they support Hamas, a designated terrorist organization;
2) They say 10/7 atrocities, rapes, murders, didn’t happen. The official line is “even the NYT debunked it!”;
3) 10/7 was justified. It was resistance;
4) 100% of the people we spoke to had the exact same narrative and MO, trying to recenter the conversation to 1948, without knowing any of the details when challenged;
5) They have their own security and control access to their encampment;
6) We remained very calm, but they got really aggressive and angry;
7) When you approach people who clearly are junior to others, “handlers” show up very quickly to takeover;
8) Since many of them are truly ignorant about historical and present facts, when they know they’re going to embarrass themselves, they all say “read our 5 demands to divest, now I’m going to stop talking to you.”
More organized and orchestrated than I expected. Very sad to see so many young people in a higher education setting being manipulated and brainwashed and totally devoid of critical thinking.
