I don’t know what’s going to happen. But I do know that Netanyahu really wants some kind of breakthrough in the next couple of weeks—before Election Day.

[דרור בלאזאדה | Dror Balazada @DBalazada]

EXCLUSIVE | Saudi representatives joined an expanded meeting after Netanyahu met UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed, a senior Emirati source tells me.

The source says Netanyahu initiated the meeting. The first part included the two leaders and representatives of Israel and the UAE; representatives of other Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, joined the second part.

They discussed security cooperation, including defensive systems such as Iron Dome; the war with Iran and the Houthis; and establishing a coalition of regional states. According to our information, Israel’s ambassador to the UAE, Yossi Shelley, is responsible for advancing the effort on the Israeli side.

@EylonALevy These are obvious. The Armenian and Christian Quarters however become an interesting test case

[Benjamin Ze’ev 📚🎻🏺 @ArchaeoBenjamin]

They're sanctioning Majdal Shams?

The Druze town that lost twelve of its children to a Hezbollah rocket attack?

What are they being sanctioned for, exactly?

[David Hazony @davidhazony]

Correct. But it’s also the case that thirty years from now, Israel will be a bustling power with double its current population—while the EU will no longer exist, its nations going their separate ways, some collapsing and others thriving.

[Mark Dubowitz @mdubowitz]

As I have been warning about: Brick by brick, the financial and economic warfare campaign against Israel is being built. https://t.co/j8QE0h1Ct0

[David Hazony @davidhazony]

@mdubowitz Correct. But it’s also the case that thirty years from now, Israel will be a bustling power with double its current population—while the EU will no longer exist, its nations going their separate ways, some collapsing and others thriving.

Let’s hear it for rich self made Jews. 🫡

[Kara Jesella @karajesella]

Before there was Durban, there was the 1980 UN women’s conference in Copenhagen. Terrorist Leila Khaled led the Palestinian delegation; attendees yelled “Jews must die! Israel must die!”; Shirley Joseph, of the National Council of Jewish Women, said, “As a result of the events of that parody of a Women’s Conference, I believe that as women, as Jews, and as Americans we are facing disaster and that we had better develop strategies to prevent it. We can’t start too soon.”

Unfortunately, almost no one heeded the call.

Did you know that the Netherlands’ ban on “illegal settlement” goods considers Druze and Alawite villages on the Golan to be illegal settlements?

[Eugene Kontorovich @EVKontorovich]

The Netherlands is begging the U.S. for a "transition period" before anticipated sanctions on the ICC. But they're not giving a transition period on their draconian sanctions on Jewish goods from Jerusalem. And they're asking for anonymous tips for enforcement.

I think I’m going to add “they said no” to the end of my email signature

[Peter Yang @petergyang]

This phone call feature from @Muse is just ridiculous.

[David Hazony @davidhazony]

I have spent much of my life giving dumb things the benefit of the doubt by assuming they are parodies.
For example: when Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” came out, I assumed it was a parody of Bob Marley’s “Don’t Worry About a Thing.”
I am often disappointed, of course. But occasionally I’m pleasantly surprised.
The last few years have made even parody seem tiresome. The things just keep getting dumber. They have overtaken parody.

[Meg Keene @MegKeene]

I had to look “Dead White: An Argument Against White Paint” to believe that it was a real book, and when I tried to read this description out loud I started laughing so hard I was unable to speak.

This is what we’re long listing for the National Book Award, ladies and gents.

[Juliet Moses @JulietMosesNZ]

I can’t imagine there was anybody who was thinking to themselves “I need to know what Adam Brody thinks about Israel/Palestine because his opinion on geopolitics really interests me”. If anyone at all wanted to know, it would only have been to determine whether a guy of Jewish heritage playing a rabbi, who has previously expressed sympathy for Jews in the current climate, will comply with the new diktats and say the required words, or should instead be bullied and boycotted like Ed Sheeran has been.

The obvious reason he is doing this now is to get ahead of the mob before the next season of his show. The very weird “put me down as” wording is his fairly feeble and unconvincing attempt to get onto the good compliant apologetic Jew list and avoid being boycotted.

By contrast the Jewish Argentinian author Ariana Harwicz has just been cancelled by Granada’s
International Festival of Art, Literature, and Cultural Humanities Cultur-Alh for declining to be put down on the list of good compliant apologetic Jews.

None of this is about the truth. It is about creating an incontestable conformity and creating the conditions to punish the heretics through increasingly harsh consequences. Like all totalitarian movements it is about power and enforcement.

@christapeterso Now we write tweetises

[David Hazony @davidhazony]

@BriannaWu I’m a GenXer from the Boston area—my friends were coming out in high school, mostly with parental support. Not sure who or what you think I am.
I don’t believe parents should ever disown their kids, for any reason. Ever. That’s actually part of my point.

[David Hazony @davidhazony]

If you don’t have children and don’t have parents, you can achieve a nirvana of nowness at the expense of anything resembling human continuity.
It also comes at the expense of understanding your life. Because you are necessarily a product of the generations that came before you.
But that’s okay. Your bitter old age will reveal the error.

[Steve McGuire @sfmcguire79]

Well, this is sad and terrible:

“Many experts believe that estrangements between adult children and their parents are becoming an epidemic in the U.S.”

“Psychologists say young adults’ definition of harmful parental behavior is changing.”

They “consider ordinary conflict to be much worse than it once was” and “have a much broader definition than their elders of psychological harm.”

“Many now view repeated criticism, strong disagreements and other painful relationship conflicts as abusive.”

“In their minds, they see themselves as more enlightened and therefore more justified to cut off for more reasons.”

@anti_occult_ont Also I really needed the alliteration

[David Hazony @davidhazony]

Books are the ultimate form of resistance

[𝟑 𝐞̀𝐦𝐞 𝐎𝐞𝐢𝐥 @_3emeOeil]

📚 Au Japon, des gens vont désormais en boîte de nuit… pour s’asseoir silencieusement et lire un livre pendant qu’un DJ joue de la musique d'ambience.

Le concept s’appelle JUCY BOOK RAVE et se déroule notamment dans un club souterrain de Shimokitazawa, à Tokyo. Ici, pas besoin de danser ni de hurler pour parler à la personne située à 30 centimètres de vous. Les participants viennent avec un livre, s’installent dans la pénombre et lisent pendant que la musique accompagne leur soirée.

[David Hazony @davidhazony]

@anti_occult_ont lol you dislike that but give me a pass on nirvana? I was being a bit facetious.

[David Hazony @davidhazony]

What's more impressive to me is not that they spent it, but how little they actually got in return. "The world" only turned against Israel if you define the world as the rhetoric of a few western european governments desperately trying to avoid getting clobbered in elections instead of fixing their countries, and some loud but utterly unrepresentative UN bodies. If "the world" doesn't include India, Eastern Europe, South America, or Washington. Israel's doing fine, all things considered—its enemies eviscerated, its economy growing. Qatar, on the other hand, is not. I wouldn't trade places with them.

[Eylon Levy @EylonALevy]

None of the global turn against Israel was accidental—Qatar invested billions in information warfare to support Hamas.

[Hussein Aboubakr Mansour @HusseinAboubak]

Palestine has always been about everything else but Palestinians
