I was told many times during my pregnancy what my “options” were. Why is it ok for drs to push for babies with Down Syndrome to be aborted? Are they not human like u and me? #DownSyndrome
Good bye Twitter. I can’t stay here and see these graphic videos and pictures of my family being slaughtered. I can’t read the hatred coming from people across the world as they cheer the animals who are doing this.

American Orthodox Jews are logging back online after being off for the holiday only to see that massive rallies in support of Hamas were held in their cities today.
Unprecedented muder maiming and abduction of Jews since the Holocaust. Either you support humanity or you support barbarity. There is no two sides to the mass murder of innocent men women and children. Shocking brutality and outright murder cannot and will not stand. There can be no moral equivalence. We've seen this before. Stand with #Israel in their time of need.
Hamas literally murdered and then kidnapped kids and elderly out of their homes and US congressional Democrats released statements demanding Israel de-escalate. I've never seen this. Ever.
Raping, mutilating, kidnapping -- all of these are war crimes. So is hiding behind civilians. Every ounce of blood spilled in Gaza is on Hamas and its Iranian paymasters. Every single ounce.
To those continuing to wonder why @benshapiro has not commented on Israel’s war against Hamas, today is Simchat Torah. Orthodox Jews outside of Israel observe today as a Shabbat-like holiday.
It is not by accident that Israel’s enemies often chose religious holidays to launch attacks.
Observant Jews have no access to electronics on these days. No phones. No radio. No computers. No television.
That makes them particularly vulnerable on these days.
Ben has no access to electronic communication today, just as he didn’t yesterday. What he knows of the situation at present he knows from rumor. He has not had the opportunity to read any actual news.
While Ben remains safe, he, like all Jews, has many friends and relatives in harm’s way.
But his silence does not represent anything out of the ordinary. He is simply doing what he does every day: Observing his religion as best he can.
I make it a point never to speak for Ben - he doesn’t need my help saying what he wants to say.
But today, I am confident I speak for him when I say thank you for your concern and prayers for him and his family, and, more importantly, for all of those in Israel suffering and in harm’s way.
Hamas has released footage of them beheading captured soldiers. We will not share it, but the world needs to know their depravity exceeds that of ISIS. And we have been telling you all for years. May the precious souls of our men and women be in our hearts forever.
This Israeli dad is being interviewed on Israeli TV News: Hamas took his wife, mother-in-law & two daughters, aged 4 and 2.
He saw them on a Hamas social media video, thrown on a truck heading to Gaza, a terrorist putting a makeshift hijab on his wife’s head. #IsraelUnderAttack
The Jewish people have been around for thousands of years. In every generation enemies have tried to get rid of us and failed. They have gone and we remain.

Hamas started a war against Israel with the worst massacre of innocent civilians in Israel’s history.
We paid a heavy price; but we will restore security to the people of Israel.
Full statement from @IDFspokesperson:
Look at this Washington Post headline. How about:
“Hamas Terrorists Murder, Kidnap Hundreds of Innocents in Unprovoked Attack; Israel Acknowledges: It’s War”
A striking contrast between German and American papers:
Der Spiegel: “A targeted massacre - at least 260 confirmed dead at festival near Gaza”
Die Zeit: “Hamas Now Has an Awful Ransom”
NYT: “Israel Battles Militants as Netanyahu Warns of Long War”
WaPo: “Both Sides Reeling.”
Gone. They're all gone 💔
An entire family, Tamar, Yonatan, their 6 yr old daughters Shahar & Arbel, and their 4 yr old son Omer.
They were all slaughtered by Hamas terrorists who infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz. Just because they were Jews!
I don't have the words. Only tears ...
There are American hostages being held captive by Hamas and Joe Biden is currently having a barbecue at the White House.
The case for impeachment couldn’t be more strong.
🔥🚨DEVELOPING: Middle East Monitor reported that Joe Biden approved the release of $75 million dollar aid to Palestine just hours before the attack on Israel.
In a quiet move bypassing Republican obstructionism, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has approved the release of $75 million in crucial food assistance for Palestinians just hours before the funds were set to be redistributed elsewhere.
UNRWA has been a frequent target of Republicans. After he assumed office, President Joe Biden reversed ex-President Donald Trump’s efforts to squeeze off funding to the UN agency and Palestinians generally.
