@UNHumanRights @volker_turk My questions: what about the human rights of 101 hostages in Gaza, who were abducted 418 days ago?
What about the women being raped, tortured & violated on a daily basis?
What about the hostages who were brutally murdered?
What about the men who held in cages? starved? beaten?

[Hillel Fuld @HilzFuld]

The Middle East conflict 101:

UN in 1947: “Here is a state for you, the Jews, and here is a state for you, the Arabs.”

The Jews: “Awesome. Thanks. We’ve only been waiting for this for thousands of years.”

The Arabs: “Sorry no. We’d rather attack than have a state. We don’t want a state. We want no Israel.”

The Jews: “Sorry you attacked and lost.”

The Arabs: “Don’t worry. We’ll be back.”

The Jews: “Here. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.”

The Arabs: “No. No state. No Israel.”

The Jews in 1967 (Khartoum summit): “Here. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.”

The Arabs: “No. No state. No Israel.”

The Jews in 1991 (Madrid Conference): “Here. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.”

The Arabs: “No. No state. No Israel.”

The Jews in 2000 (Camp David Summit): “Here. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.”

The Arabs: “No. No state. No Israel.”

The Jews in 2001 (Taba Sunmit), 2005 (Disengagement), 2007 (Annapolis conference), 2008 (realignment plan), 2010, 2013 (Joint peace talks), 2019 (Bahrain workshop), 2020 (Trump peace plan): “Here. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.”

The Arabs: “No. No state. No Israel.”

The world in 2024: “Let’s give them a state.”

The Arabs: “No. No state. No Israel.”

The Jews: “Ok, no state for you.”

The world? “Those Jews!”

And then there are the wars that the Arabs attacked the Jews and lost: 1948 (war of independence), 1967 (six day war), 1973 (Yom Kippur war), 1982 (Lebanon war), 1987 (first intifada), 2000 (second intifada), 2006 (second Lebanon war), 2008 (operation cast lead), 2012 (operation pillar of defense), 2014 (operation protective edge), 2021 (operation guardian of the walls), 2023 (operation swords of iron).

The fact that there is a single human being on planet earth who still doesn’t get the following fact is insane and mind boggling.

The Jews want peace. The Arabs who call themselves Palestinians do not. They never have. They never will.

Want proof?

The PLO: The Palestinian liberation organization was established on May 28th, 1964. There were no settlements then. There was no occupation. What exactly were they looking to liberate? The answer is Israel, every last inch of it.

There was Arab terror against Jews well before there was any occupation. There was Arab terror against Jews before there was even a state of Israel.

1929, for example. Arabs massacred Jews in Hebron. Why? It was 1929. Israel was established in 1948.

How exactly does that work? Were they massacring Jews to resist the future occupation? 😂

Anyone who thinks that offering the Palestinians a state will solve anything is a fool. Period. Full stop.

It’s time the world learned Arabic. The Palestinians want dead Jews. They say it, they vote for it, they act towards it, and then they live stream it.

And yes, I said Palestinian, not Hamas.

The Palestinian people elected Hamas. Thousands of them participated in October 7th in one way or another. Close to 90% of the Palestinians support Hamas.

The Palestinian people exist from day one for the sole purpose of destroying Israel. It’s their entire identity.

They keep trying and keep failing.

They don’t seem to learn their lesson and neither does the international community.

Israel wants peace. Israel is willing to make compromises for peace. Israel also knows well how to handle its enemies when necessary. It has a lot of experience.

If you are still reading, and disagree with anything I wrote above, kindly tell me what is inaccurate about what I said and if you can’t, if you agree with the facts I listed here, tell me please how, in 2024, after October 7th, anyone still thinks the Palestinians want or deserve a state.

Congratulations on completing your course on the Middle East. You are now officially more knowledgeable about Israel and the conflict than 99% of Gen Z and pro Palestinian activities who take to the streets every day chanting for the murder of Jews.

Thank you for coming today.

Any questions?

My husband loves @Rockport shoes. So sad that his latest pair started crumbling after a few days of use. He emailed the company & getting nowhere. Hoping they will respond here. #shoesaddict #loveshoes #CustomerLoyalty #CustomerExperience #CustomerServiceFail

May it be so.

There have been moments over the past 6 days when I thought about policies and politics. When I wanted to take to social media. I’ve written, deleted, created and destroyed my own thoughts.

And here is what I was left with:

grief.

Michelle and I want to do our part to give all you parents a break today, so we’re reading “The Word Collector” for @chipublib. It’s a fun book that vividly illustrates the transformative power of words––and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

[Digital Archivist @DigiArchivist]

@ChaseSupport I did that and no response. Not sure how long I should wait. It took over 3 weeks to get a check that was supposed to be "overnighted." I need actual #CustomerService

[Digital Archivist @DigiArchivist]

How does a Chase private client get actual #CustomerService from @Chase or @ChaseSupport? I've been given the runaround for three weeks now. Starting to wonder if I should move to @BankoftheWest or @BankofAmerica Any advice?

[Digital Archivist @DigiArchivist]

Yes, let’s support those companies doing good by their employees and their customers during #COVID. Let’s name them and support them! #KindnessMatters

[Amy Bishop @Hoffman8]

I'm hoping we can all remember the companies that are going out of their way to support their clients, their employees, and their communities in this time. Which ones have you seen or heard of?

@brokeymcpoverty One really helpful thing my therapist mentioned (esp as it relates to productivity/forcing yourself to do things during this time) was:

Focus on being. Not doing.

[Digital Archivist @DigiArchivist]

Books, games, and online training for self-regulation, social anxiety, and executive functioning. Good to use while you #StayAtHome and practice #SocialDistancing which is really more #PhysicalDistancing. Take care of yourself and your community.
