I will break my twitter strike to share what can only be described as the greatest tweet ever sent in the history of ever.

[Ahmad Tibi @Ahmad_tibi]

״כאשר המאכל היה קר הוא אינו אוסר את הכלי״

העיקרון הזה נובע מהכלל ההלכתי:
“דבר שאינו בן יומו אינו פולט טעם, ודבר קר אינו מבליע ואינו פולט”.

שולחן ערוך, יורה דעה, סימן צד (“דיני בישול ובולע”):
“צונן – אינו פולט ואינו מבליע״

( ״רבנים תומכי טיבי״)

Once again lowering myself to the level of this platform to support this Zionist, balanced, thoughtful, comprehensive initiative to build a renewed Israeli public sphere. This looks like a fantastic start.

16) Israel has the worst enemies that humanity knows. We have a loving, caring society that are simply inspiring. We have that society despite a very, very bad government.

Briefly joining this bad site for an 18-point thread. 1) I am, like everyone here, shocked, sad, horrified, terrified, angry. I am a proud Zionist and Israeli and I will not apologize for Israel defending itself. Full stop. 1/X

15) The current govt ministers cannot even visit the troops, since they know that they are persona non grata to many, many people on the front lines. They are not even good enough for photo ops.
