My mother was injured towards the end of the war in Lebanon, and we were left with no choice but to bring her to Israel to be treated for her injuries.

I remember my father handing me $60 from the mattress in our bomb shelter, the war had nearly bankrupted my family. We did not have much left and a trip across the border to Israel for medical treatment seemed out of reach.

I took my mother to the local "hospital" in town which was now bombed out and left with just 1 large room for treating basic injuries. The volunteer Israeli doctor and nurses were treating everyone who entered but had limited resources. My mother needed to visit a real hospital.

We put my mother in an Israeli donated ambulance and drove to the Israeli border, it was about a 10 minute drive to the border. Once we arrived at the border the Lebanese driver who knew my parents asked me, "Do you have any money for the ambulance ride to the border?" As an innocent child at the time with no experience around money, I pulled out all $60 and said, "This is all I have, how much do you need?" He took $30 and I thanked him for his kindness and service and proceeded to be with my mother as she was loaded into another ambulance to transport us to an Israeli hospital across the border, this time we were driven by an IDF reservist called up for the war.

The drive to the Israeli hospital was long and when we finally arrived, I knew the $30 left was not going to be enough money. If it had cost $30 for a 10 minute drive to the border, there is no way it could be enough for this long journey. As they were loading my mother off the ambulance and into the hospital, I pulled out the remaining money I had and offered it to the Israeli ambulance driver for the trip.

He looked down at my money and then back at me and said, "What is this for? We are offering this service to you and your mother for free. Keep the money for the rest of your trip and I wish your mother a speedy recovery." He then went on his way to help others in need.

I felt so touched. I could not believe his kindness. I then became enraged as I realized the Lebanese driver who was friends with my parents took advantage of me and stole $30 from me for a free service.

It was that moment that I realized everything I was told about Israel from the Arabs in Lebanon was a lie.

It was that moment that I learned the difference between the Arab culture and the Israeli culture.

Hamas: "we want to destroy Israel"

The west: "they don't mean it"

Hamas: "yes we do"

The west: "no you don't"

Hamas: "look we slaughtered 1400 Israelis"

The west: "were you forced to do it because of the occupation"

Hamas "no we did it because they're Jews"

The west: "um"

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

If you say that you don't understand the moral difference between:

(1) Hamas murdering babies, raping women and killing them, beheading men, and kidnapping hundreds; and

(2) Israel telling civilians to leave, killing Hamas members, and hitting civilians because Hamas keeps them there...

I don't believe you. You understand the difference. You're lying.

Some people tear down the posters and try to erase the victims. This elderly man shows our lost ones the love they deserve.

What I and hundreds of other international journalists saw now at the IDF spokesman's press conference will never be forgotten.
Shocking footage that are forbidden to be published from the body cameras of the terrorists, of the houses, of the citizens... Most of the documents have not been revealed anywhere yet.
These footage must be released to the world!
The entire world must see what ISIS-HAMAS did to us❗️

[Israel ישראל @Israel]

This post is dedicated to the unseen heroes, the thousands of Zaka (first responder volunteers) who have recovered bodies of victims and have witnessed the most horrific things beyond human comprehension.

Words cannot describe our gratitude.

We pray for them and for their mental and physical well-being.

I have always said... Haredim will enlist when it is not forced upon them. Over 3000 (!) enlist overnight. The Jewish people have never been more united.

[COGAT @cogatonline]

While infiltrating Israel, Hamas destroyed 9 out of 10 power lines to Gaza.

Remember that when they are complaining about no electricity.

At @WeAreTouro University's Dental School, a patient had a unique encounter with Sammy Ahmed, a Palestinian student working under the main oral surgeon.

During their conversation, Sammy revealed that his father was Palestinian, while his mother was a Russian Jew.

What unfolded next was a beautiful surprise. Following a successful tooth extraction, the patient expressed regret over not having their tefillin with them.

Surprisingly, another student named Ari, who was wearing a yarmulke, had tefillin readily available. Sammy made an amazing decision that would change his life... He chose to put on tefillin and have a Bar Mitzvah, embracing his connection to G-d. The entire dental practice came together to witness this beautiful and unexpected celebration.

As a (secular) Jewish leftie, and longtime critic of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, I thought people were conflating such criticism from the left with antisemitism.

I now see I was terribly wrong.
There is rampant, raging racist Jew-hate on the left.

I’m so very sorry.

The Palestinian Dental Student’s Bar Mitzvah

Rabbi Beryl Frankel, who directs Chabad Young Professionals International, recently brought his child to the Touro University Dental School for a tooth extraction. Frankel struck up a conversation with one of the dental students, a young man named Sammy Ahmed, who told Frankel that he’s Palestinian. In the course of the conversation, Ahmed mentioned that his mother is Jewish, but that he had never observed or celebrated anything Jewish.

Frankel borrowed a pair of tefillin from another dental student, and in the Touro University Dental School, a young man reconnected with his roots, putting on tefillin for the first time and celebrating his Bar Mitzvah.

Opening of Parshas Noach mentions his name 3 times because there were 3 Noahs:

(1) Noah before the flood
(2) Noah during the flood
(3) Noah after the flood

May we emerge from this with our third self, even stronger than before. ❤️‍🩹

Hey @target, you’ve a problem on your hands…

[Naftali Bennett נפתלי בנט @naftalibennett]

So now we know:
- There was no Israeli airstrike.
- It was Islamic Jihad who misfired a rocket.
- It was a parking lot, not a hospital.
- It was about 20 people killed, not 500.

Lesson learned: terrorists who rape, murder and sever heads of babies, might also lie.

[Rep. Anthony D’Esposito @RepDesposito]

We will not stay quiet while our Israeli allies face off against the terrorist butchers of Hamas.

My message to Israel: America will be with you every step of the way.

So glad to see Sarah Silverman waking up to the reality of the situation.

We should not make fun of people for being blind to the truth, we should welcome them in with open arms when they finally see it.

[Michael Dickson @michaeldickson]

The New York Post has it right.
Journalists: Would you take ISIS at their word?
You cannot believe a word that Hamas says.
