HOW DARE YOU @GretaThunberg. How DARE you call for ethnically cleansing the Jewish people from our ancestral land?? You know nothing. No history, no reality, no truth. So I have this to say to you.
Israel is not a colonialist state – it’s a refugee state which was literally decolonized from Britain.
The majority of Israeli Jews are people of color, whose families were ethnically cleansed from other parts of the Middle East.
Throughout history, the only indigenous sovereign entities to exist in the land have been Jewish states.
Jews originate from the land, derive our religion and our practices from it and despite centuries of exile and displacement have always kept an unbroken presence there.
And you Greta Thunberg, are chanting “crush Zionism” on the streets of Sweden.
Zionism is the Jewish people exercising our right to self-determination in some parts of our only historic, ancestral and indigenous homeland.
Hamas showed us on October 7 what “crushing Zionism” looks like and you want to cheer that on Greta?
Greta Thunberg, if I can borrow your famous phrase, “how dare you!”
But this is how antisemitism works – Find what is most evil to you, and blame it on the Jews, or today - on the Jewish state.
I can understand that younger generations in western societies feel guilty about the evils of colonialism.
But Israel’s history is not your history, and whatever guilt you feel, supporting the massacre of Jews in their ancestral land will not wash away the sins of your fathers. When your ancestors were colonizing the world, my ancestors were being slaughtered by Cossacks.
We were dreaming – next year in Jerusalem – of building a life raft in our homeland. We fled genocidal violence in Europe. We were ethnically cleansed from Arab countries all over the Middle East. And we built a liberal, democratic Jewish state. That is not a colonial enterprise.
Zionism is not a colonial enterprise – Zionism is the decolonization movement of the Jewish people.
And to anyone who cannot accept our presence or who slanders Israel as something it is not, we are here to say: “how dare you.”
“Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” are propaganda words for racism, sexism and other -isms.
This is just as morally wrong as any other racism and sexism. Changing the target class doesn’t make it right!
What a powerful image!
There is a passage in the Talmud in the tractate of Brachot that later became a popular Jewish song. It’s called Tanya.
The conclusion of the passage is that we should never take a blessing from a “normal person” for granted. The story is about an angel asking a human being for a blessing.
This image of a Jewish child blessing one of our heroes penetrated my soul!
One nation. One people. One heart. All in this together. ✡️🇮🇱💪❤️🙏🥺
This!
Wexner Foundation cuts ties with, @Harvard, saying:
“We are stunned and sickened at the dismal failure of Harvard’s leadership to take a clear and unequivocal stand against the barbaric murders of innocent Israeli civilians by terrorists last Saturday.”
Bexley (Columbus area) Ohio - random male walks up to a Jewish woman’s home and yells “you Zionist pigs are f*cking disgusting!”
Are we in 1939 or 2023? Share and help identify this appalling antisemite!
I'm tired. I am tired of the double standards, hearing people justify the terrorist attack that took over 1300 innocent lives, and tired of all the BS—tired of politicians, who are spreading misinformation. Things will get worse before they get better.
Wait until she finds out it was under BRITISH rule when her map was issued in 1947 and not an autonomous country.
Jews who lived there were “Palestinians” too.
In fact, The Palestinian Post from 1947 was a Jewish newspaper.
But cool story, dr.
Harvard University’s refusal to condemn Hamas terror supporting students leads to one of their largest donors pulling all donations.
We applaud Idan Ofer and his wife and encourage all donors to follow suit.
Perspective: In Hezbollah war on #Israel in 2006, some two million Lebanese left south Lebanon, Beirut, and the Bekaa Valley, and moved to the safety of Mount Lebanon, the north, Syria and Jordan. The Lebanese returned 33 days later, when the war had ended.
There is no reason on earth why Palestinians in 2023 should not temporarily leave the northern Gaza Strip and move south until the war is over, whence they can come back.
#Hamas, which pretends to be defending Palestinians, is in fact hiding behind them, hoping that a high number of civilian Palestinian casualties will make global sympathy force Israel to stop, and allow Hamas to get away with massacring 1300 Israelis, kidnapping up to 200m and causing the death of over 1,000 Palestinians in the course of war that the terrorist organization started on October 7.
Hamas is another Isis. They are the enemies of Israel; they are the enemies of all Jews; they are the enemies of Palestinians; they are the enemies of peace and freedom. They are the enemies of Western civilisation itself. @DailyMailUK https://t.co/OY6mNt2Lph

Actually, in this piece of land there has been everything, EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE!
Gaza also shares a border with Egypt.
To keep Gazans out, Egypt built massive parallel walls and a super-strength steel underground wall.
One wall is made of concrete, goes 20 feet high and underground. The other is stone.
In addition to the above/underground walls, the area is patrolled by the military.
There is only one checkpoint to get in to the country and it’s heavily guarded.
Hamas begged the Arabs who live in Israel to join them and fight Israel.
This photo gives you an idea of what the Arabs in Israel decided to do!
It's doesn't matter of you are an Arab or a Jew - if you are an Israeli, you are a target of Hamas terrorism!
