On October 8, 2023 - one day after the Hamas massacre - pediatricians at Israel's National Human Milk Bank realized something no milk bank in the world had ever faced: dozens of healthy babies whose mothers had been murdered, abducted to Gaza, wounded, or called up for emergency IDF duty.
The bank, operated by Magen David Adom, Israel's National Emergency Service, tripled its activity overnight - recruiting over 200 new donors, running MDA motorcycles through missile fire to collect milk daily, and working around the clock to ensure every baby received safe, screened donor breast milk. One of the babies' mothers was an Israeli Air Force Apache helicopter pilot who cut short her maternity leave to fly combat missions. "Giving of your own milk, giving part of yourself while nursing your own baby is the height of unconditional love," said the bank's chairman. More than 80% of families said the donated milk helped them cope with the consequences of the war. "They said they felt the whole country supported them." This is Israel. 🇮🇱🤍

This small sample of newspaper clippings from the 1950s - 1980s proves the “genocide” smear against Israel is not a new phenomenon.🧵
For decades, Israel has been accused of “genocide” no matter the facts on the ground. The lie is meant only to demonize & delegitimize the state.

They told us it was never antisemitism. They said it was about Israel's war, aggression, and innocent lives. So now Iran strikes seven Muslim Arab countries. Children die. Women bleed. Hospitals are targeted. And behold, the streets are silent. No tents on campuses. No roaring crowds. No Parliament in endless mourning. No theatrical recognition of a state. Not even the usual prophets of outrage.
And so we ask, with sorrow rather than surprise: was it ever truly about the dead?
Or have you become prisoners of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic regime in Iran, their proxies whispering in the West?
If you are still there, blink twice.
We may yet come to rescue you.
@ericweinstein We aggregate news from a wide spectrum of sources and place them together for you to see at once. The truth is somewhere in the middle. https://t.co/T1rE0AdTiM

This is hilarious.
Israeli journalist @arikweiss received a phone call from an Iranian threatening to kill him and his family.
Unruffled, Arik explained to him that his Hebrew was gibberish and offered to help him pronounce "family" properly.
In the past 48+ hours, Iran fired 824+ projectiles at 11 countries — Israel, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq, Cyprus, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. The entire region is on alert.
