If someone defends abusive sex trafficker Andrew Tate, and attacks grieving widow Erika Kirk, I can predict that person’s opinion on Israel with 100% certainty.
Why is that?
Mayor Mamdani: here’s why your threat to arrest PM Netanyahu’s in NYC during UNGA is not going to happen:
1. The U.S. is not party to the Rome Statute that underlies the ICC,
2. The UN Headquarters Agreement grants diplomatic protections to visiting heads of gov’t,
3. head-of-state immunity applies, &
4. federal authority trumps any local mayor’s wishes.
This is pure political theater.

@misfitpatriot_ I don't get why we're still talking about this. He's dead. And the people currently in charge are not connected to him. It's so early 2000s. Thank God his Empire is gone and he is no longer hurting children. Why do we need to keep talking about this terrible thing?
They say that Aharon HaKohen died on Rosh Chodesh Av, the beginning of the 9 Days. With his death, the Bnei Yisrael lost the clouds of protection in the desert.
Aharon was said to be someone who was a Rodef Shalom and Ohev Shalom, someone who tried to make peace between arguing parties, even going as far as to lie to each party that the other one wanted to reconcile.
It doesn’t seem accidental that protection from harm in the desert for the Bnei Yisrael was in the merit of the man who encouraged agreeableness between people.
And while we are still mastering the pastime of millennia-old internal fighting, we wonder why the nations of the world every few decades decide that the Jews are so horrible.
Maybe for the next 9 days, when you feel the urge to post or yell at your fellow member of the tribe, you remember that we are all one, even if sure doesn’t feel like it.
The Jewish relationship with Hashem has never been simple. It was never meant to be. When G-d renamed Jacob to *Israel*, He wasn’t giving us a poetic nickname, he was defining our mission.
Israel means “one who struggles with G-d.”
Not “submits.”
Not “surrenders.”
Struggles.
This is the heart of Judaism. The world thinks faith means obedience. For us, faith means engagement, arguing, challenging, wrestling with the Divine because we believe the world can be better, and we refuse to accept anything less.
We don’t drift through history waiting for answers. We demand them. We fight for them. The Jewish journey has never been about reaching a final destination. It’s about elevating ourselves through study, through action, through moral courage, to meet G-d eye-to-eye.
This is why Jews build. Why Jews create. Why Jews lead.
It isn’t arrogance it’s responsibility.
We refuse to bow because submission is not in our spiritual DNA.
Why draw closer to G-d?
Because that’s where the struggle is. And in that struggle we discover who we are. When we wrestle with G-d, we are also wrestling with our fears, our limits, and every force, human or divine, that tries to write our story for us.
We write our own story.
That is what it means to be Israel.
We have prevailed for thousands of years not because the world made it easy, but because we never stopped fighting, not against G-d, but with Him, pulling the world toward truth, purpose, and life.
We will prevail again. We always do.
Am Yisrael Chai. renamed Jacob to Israel.
Israel literally means, “One who struggles with G‑d.”
This is the essence of Judaism. It's not about the destination, it's all about the journey. We know there will be a constant struggle and we are prepared for it. It's our duty to question G-d and to wrestle with G-d.
This is why Jews are high achievers. We elevate ourselves as individuals and as a people to become closer to G-d. We DO NOT "submit".
Why get closer to G-d?
Because it's easier to get G-d into a chokehold and prevail. We define our destiny, no one else, not even G-d.
We will prevail, always.
Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱
@havivrettiggur He wasn't even stopped by random settlers. He was stopped by the kitat konenut a security team that is a branch of the idf because they didn't know why there were suspicious cars there
Of course the security team checked it out.
I’m going to say this as clearly and bluntly as possible for you @RoKhanna…
It doesn’t matter that you’re American. It doesn’t matter what nationality you are, what color, what religion, or what sexual preference you have.
YOU WERE IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY!!!
You were NOT in America. And in Israel, you abide solely by Israeli laws. Nobody gives a shit that you’re an American. You broke the law. And then you’ve spent days lying about it.
So respectfully, go F yourself. The mistake was that the police didn’t arrest you and throw you in a dark cell for a year. You deserve nothing less you deranged Marxist-Leninist freak.
