For the new year I would like to create more, believe in myself and my abilities, trust the process and allow myself to be proud of my ideas and creations.
Here's a drawing that started as a DND character development and turned into one of the most beautiful things I've created.

I'm reading the paper palace by Miranda Cowley Heller and I'm on the verge of getting an aneurysm from how the story changes every page from past to present
I'm already on page 80 and just waiting for it to get interesting

Today has been a very heartbreaking day. But it gave me a little hope to see so many of my people supporting Yarden Bibas in the final moments with his wife and their two sweet babies, may their memory be a blessing.
We will never forgive, nor forget.

If you need to choke a baby to death to free your state, then you should probably never have one to begin with.

First, Hamas held a circus over the bodies of the Bibas family.

Then, Hamas locked the coffins and sent keys that do not match the locks!

Now, we discover that they put a random body in the coffin that carries Shiri’s name!

God! This is unbearable!

Even the most brutal animals would not do that!!

Hamas and all the Islamist organizations that built their ideology around hating Israel and the Jews are pure evil.

Please, the world has to put an end to this pure evil.

Australian doctors threaten to kill Israelis:

“I'll k*ll them. One day, your time will come, and you will die in the most horrible way, the most disgusting death.”

[Elica Le Bon الیکا‌ ل بن @elicalebon]

I’m not Jewish, but there’s a reason that I’ve risked everything to speak up for the Jewish community.

And when I say everything, I mean everything. I mean being blocked by friends that I grew up with, unfollowed by most friends and associates, accused of being a spy for the Mossad, IRGC, CIA etc, having my family accused of the same and having their lives put at risk to the extent of having to contact the FBI, being subjected to unthinkable smears, conspiracies, and rumors that are intended to blacklist me from everywhere and by everyone, but I still speak up despite it all, you know why?

Because the same time that Jews had to watch their children being shot and kidnapped on October 7

Is the same time they had to watch half the world protest against the existence of their tiny Jewish state that is their only refuge from global genocide

Is the same time they had to watch their friends, associates, celebrities, and the world’s body politic post paragliders in celebration of their massacre

Is the same time they had to watch their synagogues go up in flames amid renewed pogroms in Europe

Is the same time they had to be banned and blacklisted as persona non gratas of the world by trading the word “Jews” for “Zionists”

Is the same time they had to be pushed back by human chains on college campuses and beaten unconscious for defying chants for their death

Is the same time they had to watch a mentally ill rapper tell millions of his followers that he loves Hitler and supports the Holocaust

Is the same time they had to watch the likes of Dan Bilzerian, Candace Owens, Jake Shields, and the rest of the “woke right” claim “Jewish supremacy” is the world’s biggest problem by citing obscure texts of the Talmud & claiming to “seek truth” while regurgitating antisemitic Soviet disinformation to justify their persecution

Is the same time they had to watch the woke left claim that the victims of Islamist extremism deserved the October 7 horrors because their grandparents who fled Nazi Germany back to Palestine in refugee boats were actually “white colonizers”

All while the world looks on and glibly asks, “what antisemitism?”

That’s why I speak up.

The most important thing I’ve realized is that nobody can take from you what doesn’t belong to them.

They can silence, intimidate, threaten, and accuse you, but they can never take away the power of your voice when it bellows into the scorched earth the last hopeful, fragmented glimmers of truth.

That belongs to you and nobody else, and in our lifetime, it may never be more important than now.

What if I told you there is one clear problem and one clear solution for all of humanity?

[Topaz Cherry @CherryTopaz]

I find it crazy all the people commenting on this post are attacking Conor for not tolerating terror supporters
What has come of this world?

[Conor McGregor @TheNotoriousMMA]

To raise the flag of a terrorist organization on Irish soil must become a major crime in the eyes of our state.
It will not be tolerated nor lauded!
Raise a country flag, off your own person, and off of government buildings, yes, no problem. Raise the flag of radicalized terror organizations off of the same.. Big problem. #PeaceInTheWorld #NoToTerror

Thank you to all that have followed this account for the last 477 excruciating days and the endless support you have given Naama’s family and friends. She is finally HOME !!!!

"Female captive soldiers in the military uniforms they were captured in"

- Al Jazeera

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

In 2005, Israel forcibly removed all Israeli citizens from Gaza. It was one of the most painful days in many years, but for the sake of peace we did it. Not only did we remove all our citizens, but we even excavated and removed every single grave and relocated it in Israel. We left homes, schools, and even fully operational greenhouses to allow the Gazans to have an opportunity to build their economy in the hope that they would grow to be part of the international community.

Shortly after the last citizen and soldiers left and closed the gates, leaving Gaza free to decide their own future, the Gazans together with the Gazan police forces destroyed the homes, the schools and raided and destroyed every single greenhouse. Nothing was spared, and many used the water pipes to build rocket launchers and homemade rockets. A few hours after the last civilian and soldier left Gaza, the Gazans began to fire rockets at Israel. This was the “peace” they offered us in return.

Several months after the last civilian and soldier left Gaza, terrorists kidnapped Gilad Shalit. And yet, we did nothing. A year after we left Gaza, and with Gilad still held captive, the Gazans held their first “elections”. Hamas and Fatah vied for power, and Hamas massacred many Fatah members and supporters and “won” the elections to take over the rule of Gaza. In response, Israel had no choice but to apply rigorous security measures and checkpoints to ensure that no materials were smuggled into Gaza to manufacture weapons. We didn’t stop food going in. We didn’t stop water or fuel or medicine. It was a very small list of shipments that had to be checked. Yet as much as we tried, Gaza under Hamas still managed to smuggle a lot of materials, and all they used all the aid money for (barring the billions the leaders stole for themselves), was the building of weapons and rockets and tunnels and terror camps.

Now I’m going to stop there and ask just one question:

A lot of propaganda falsely claims Gaza has been under occupation for the last 20 years. That simply isn’t true. Like any responsible country, we had to run security checks on certain items because our next door neighbors were a damned psychopathic terrorist group sworn to our destruction. The United Nations were aiding and abetting Hamas to smuggle in pretty much everything so it was near impossible to prevent every shipment of material for weapons and explosives to be stopped.

Now imagine for a moment if we didn’t have any security measures at all? Imagine if we allowed whatever Hamas wanted to bring in to Gaza to go unchecked, for their air and sea ports to be unchecked allowing Iran and other Islamist states and bad actors to ship every type of weapon imaginable right next door?

What would October 7 have looked like had we allowed Gaza to be completely left unchecked in the hands of Hamas?

Personally, I dread even the thought of what would have been.

[Topaz Cherry @CherryTopaz]

That moment when u found out u had rocket alarms at night but you didn't wake up cuz the medicine you took was way too strong 🤦 well it would've been a funny way to die I guess

[Dana Erlich 🇮🇱 @DanaErlich]

Are Irish school children being taught to hate?

I am repeatedly asked why Ireland is so hostile towards Israel & why is there a selective empathy on the subject of the Israel-Palestinian issue.

Although Israel has many supporters in Ireland, they are largely eclipsed by anti Israel groups, a strong bias against Israel in mainstream Irish media and in political discourse, where only a few voices are brave enough to offer a dissenting voice to a biased narrative.

I tried finding explanations for this in the context of Irish history, yet if you explore it, the history of the Jewish people shares many similarities with Irish history & suffering. For example, the Irish & the Jews were forced to leave our homelands, we overcame national traumas, & we each have vibrant diaspora communities. We revived our nations after British rule, & we revived our ancient languages too. We both made painful compromises in order to promote peace.

Sadly, it seems that those people who speak against Israel, do not want to see these similarities, nor acknowledge the Palestinian rejection of the UN partition which would have established two states, living in peace & security.

After reading the shocking report that has just been published by @IMPACT_SE regarding the biases & antisemitism found in Irish school books I am compelled to ask whether this is part of the reason for the automatic biases against Israel.

Are Irish children being indoctrinated to look at Jewish people differently? Are they being taught to delegitimize the State of Israel, the only Jewish homeland?

For the future of the Jewish & Israeli communities in Ireland and for the sake of education & tolerance, I hope that the troubling findings in this report are addressed seriously and urgently.

There is a live pogrom happening in Amsterdam, the place where Anne Frank hid from the Nazis, right now. Jews are being attacked by extremists in the streets with cars and knives. I’m begging you all to open your eyes to the evil in the world that actively coming for all of us. Break out of your echo chambers and wake the fuck up.

[Bari Weiss @bariweiss]

There is a pogrom unfolding right now on the streets of Amsterdam.

[Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر @emilykschrader]

This is not a protest it’s terrorism. Arab terrorists in Amsterdam are literally trying to run over Israelis visiting the city for a football match. Hundreds more are violently assaulting Jews in the streets.

Europe 2024.
