Your tax dollars are bidding against you if you’re saving up for a down payment.

The Liberal government is in the market and you’re the actual competition.

Insane.

The relationship between the U.S. and Israel is not transactional, it is a long and vital partnership, but the next time you hear the tired question of "What does the U.S. get for $3.8 Billion to Israel," answer simply - RETURNS.

R – Research, Innovation, and the Combat Laboratory
Access to one of the world's most active laboratories for military innovation, where new technologies, concepts, and operational methods are developed, tested, and refined under real combat conditions. Combined with one of the world's leading defense technology and startup ecosystems, this environment generates technological advancements, operational insights, and innovation that would be difficult, expensive, and in many cases impossible to replicate through peacetime experimentation, exercises, simulations, or war games.

E – Economic Benefits
American jobs and manufacturing supported through purchases of U.S.-made military equipment, while strengthening the U.S. defense industrial base through joint production, co-development, and missile defense cooperation for the benefit of the U.S. military and American national security.

T – Technology
Access to military technologies refined in combat, from active protection systems and missile defense to counter-drone capabilities, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies.

U – Unique Understanding of Modern Warfare
Battlefield lessons drawn from one of the world's most active conflict environments, providing insights into urban warfare, tunnel warfare, missile defense, drones, battlefield medicine, artificial intelligence, and modern combat. These lessons help the United States adapt and prepare without having to learn them first through American casualties, American mistakes, or American wars.

R – Regional Stability Through Alliance
A capable ally helping deter common adversaries and maintain stability in one of the world's most strategically important regions while remaining willing and able to fight alongside the United States when necessary.

N – National Security Intelligence
Intelligence that helps prevent attacks against Americans, American forces, and American interests while improving U.S. understanding of shared threats, adversaries, and emerging security challenges.

S – Strategic Freedom to Focus on China
Greater freedom for the United States to concentrate military, diplomatic, and economic resources on long-term competition with China in the Indo-Pacific while helping preserve a favorable balance of power in the Middle East.

A reminder: there were no Israeli soldiers in Lebanon when Hezbollah joined in Hamas's genocidal attack in the days after Oct. 7th, and depopulated the northern section of Israel. Leaving Lebanon with Hezbollah emboldened and set to receive billions from a newly-flush Iran is not possible, and would itself lead to more war.

Over the last 48 hours of “ceasefire” Hezbollah has attacked Israel 72 times, including:

• 25 assaults
• 63 rockets
• 1 missile
• 7 UAV strikes
• 2 IED explosions
• 1 infiltration of 5 terrorists

Now Iran cancels peace talks because Israel responded.
See the game here?

For a long time most Jewish organizations and Jewish leaders in the world treated these false claims against Israel and the Jewish people as absurd, and on their face, ridiculous.

And so we ignored the claims, and we let them sort of lie and fester for a long time. And one of the big criticisms that I've heard about my book, Israel on Trial, especially from Jewish organizations, is, "Well, we shouldn't give these these allegations the time of day. We should ignore them. We shouldn't put Israel on trial, we should put Hamas on trial."

All of that, I think, is fair. Hamas should be on trial. But the opposite is not necessarily true either. And I think the strategy we have taken over the last 20 or 30 years—of ignoring these claims—has proven to be a fatal mistake.

And the reason for that is whether in the law or in sports or in politics, when you ignore the other side's argument, you lose. That's just how it is. No matter how flagrantly absurd the argument is.

In the law, if the other side files a motion, it's an adversarial system, if you don't respond to it, the judge isn't going to delve deeply into the correctness of the motion. They've got 300 other motions to deal with. If there's an unobjected to motion, that motion is granted by what we call default.

The same thing happens in sports. If one football team arrives on the field and the other team doesn't show up, they win by forfeit.

And so in either case, not rebutting the arguments that you believe are frivolous has allowed these arguments really to spread like wildfire across our population, both in our young people and even now bleeding into people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s.

It's a very dangerous game we've been playing, and we were wrong to play it.

The point of my book is to be patient with these arguments, show people that we can engage these arguments, and that on the merits they are totally false and frivolous as a matter of fact and law.

In a recent @BBC report on East Jerusalem, correspondent Yolande Knell omitted crucial historical context, sanitized the violent expulsion of Jews from the Old City in 1929, and presented complex legal disputes through a simplistic oppressor-versus-victim lens.

@LeahBenoz explains how selective history, unchallenged inflammatory rhetoric, and double standards can distort audiences' understanding of one of the world's most sensitive conflicts.

Just two months ago, Mehdi Hasan said that Pakistani grooming gangs are not proven.

Mehdi should read the new report and testimonies of the victims and then look at himself in the mirror.

🧵 A new Leger poll conducted for the Association for Canadian Studies reveals troubling attitudes toward antisemitism and Jews in Canada.

The findings are particularly concerning among younger Canadians, underscoring the urgent need for stronger education about antisemitism and the dangers of holding Canadian Jews responsible for events overseas.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

According to a new study, a little over a fifth of Canadians agree with the statement “Israel’s military actions in Gaza justify negative attitudes toward Jewish people in Canada."

22% of Canadians are perfectly willing to admit that they believe in collective punishment.

That should terrify you.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

The New York Times ran a piece from Nikolas Kristof based on a total of 14 interviews that Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinians—an obvious lie.

Yet, they haven’t written a word about an in depth report on the actual rape of 250,000 British girls by Islamists.

Weird.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

The US Department of Health and Human Services is investigating the American Psychological Association after increasing complaints of antisemitism within the organization.

According to those within the American Psychological Association, Zionism has been classified as a mental illness and "psychotic" within mandatory courses. These courses also suggested introducing "‘Palestinian liberation struggle’ into the clinical practice of mental health care."

This is, of course, in addition to Jews and Israelis being outright harassed at conferences, including one Jewish therapist who was harassed to the point that security assured her the harasser would be removed. He was not, and is allegedly going to be a speaker at the next conference.

You don't expect this kind of open disregard from a field that should be filled with empathy.

[Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer]

.@Bascobert As the head of Reuters, can you reply to these serious allegations that your Gaza reporter Nidal Al-Mughrabi reported civilians were killed when in fact they were Hamas terrorists, and constantly cited “medics” and other locals as trustworthy, when they were not?

[Heidi Bachram @HeidiBachram]

Irish author Sally Rooney gave a speech last night blaming Israel for the rise of fascism and the far right in Europe and concluding that the “liberation of Palestine represents the liberation of the world”. How very 1930s Europe of her to blame the Jews for everything.

[Roy K. Altman @RoyKAltman]

It's really important to understand that not only has there been no genocide in Gaza, it's the opposite.

It's actually the most humane, the most precise urban warfare fight the world has ever known. It's a war that was run, for the most part, by lawyers, international law scholars and lawyers called MAGs, military advocate generals, who are deployed in the field with the commanders, thousands of them, and who evaluate every action, every strike.

And unlike here in the United States, where JAG officers give advice to commanders and say, "Hey, this is a precatory piece of advice. You can disregard it if you want," in Israel, the MAG's advice is not precatory. It's a mandatory order that must be followed by the commander.

Every single day in Gaza, strikes on legitimate military targets are canceled, and I've seen this with my own eyes dozens and dozens and dozens of times, because of the risk of collateral consequences to civilians in Gaza. That's the very opposite of genocide.

Think about real genocides in history. When you take the Nazis, for example, who pushed my mother's half-brothers and sisters into the gas chambers, they weren't looking to warn civilians to get out of the killing zone. They weren't looking to cancel strikes, which is to say a gas chamber, because there were too many civilians near the gas chambers. The whole purpose, the whole architecture of a genocidal regime was to push the civilians into the killing zone.

Israel cancels strikes because of a fear of civilian casualties. It employs the most sophisticated civilian warning system the world has ever seen that gets civilians out of the killing zone in the war. Israel then shepherds them to safety, provides them with food purveyors, medical clinics, and the polio vaccine for 98% of the children in Al Mawasi—given for free by the Israeli government and by Israeli doctors to children in Gaza—this is the very opposite of what we would expect if there were a genocide.

[Warren Kinsella @kinsellawarren]

Olivia Chow's campaign is run by people who advocate for the IRGC. Which, coincidentally, we now know has been paying people to shoot up Toronto synagogues.

It is unbelievable, this story. Had this happened anywhere else, it would be very big news.

Michael Boh @Bohsie is the Lethbridge based Industrial Approval Engineer with the Government Of @YourAlberta where he works with the Federal divisions of Canada including @Transport_gc & @environmentca

When not dealing with Alberta industrial matters, Michael Boh is spending his time on X where he dehumanizes Israeli Jews, claiming they “only kill and rape 1 or 2 children. They cap it at 3 children at most.”

Michael Boh enjoys telling Israeli Jews “I hope you get raped eternally in the afterlife” and using common modern Jew hating tropes such as Israelis “are allowed to take, rape, marry, use goyim as slaves” and using Jeffrey Epstein & the Talmud to accuse Israelis of mostly all being pedophiles.

Despite being a designated terrorist group, Michael Boh the Alberta government official believes “Hamas are freedom fighters” and further dehumanizes Israelis by referring to them as “parasites.”

Michael Boh will also take up a notch by posting swastikas, images of Hitler, and accusing a Israeli father with his young daughter on a kids book of being Nazis to mock the Israelis he encounters on X.

This is a Notice of Public Interest to the Israeli Jewish communities of Alberta regarding this radicalized senior government employee that openly dehumanizes their minority.

Antisemitism at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
During World Cup matches, security at the stadium demanded that a fan remove his Israeli flag.
When he asked why, they simply said they had “orders from above.”
Meanwhile, numerous fans waving Palestinian flags were left completely undisturbed.
This is selective discrimination against Israel and Jews.
Double standards at the World Cup, enforced by FIFA and stadium officials.
Shameful.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Zack Polanski, the head of the UK Greens, says an event at a Golders Green synagogue had “illegal activity.”

He’s referring to international law. The only problem is, international law applies to countries, not realtors selling homes to individuals.

You are entitled to an opinion on Israel’s settlements in the West Bank. Some would argue that a city of 40,000 Israelis will be part of Israel in an eventual peace deal. Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas both agreed it will. Others would argue against. That’s a debate we can have.

But that’s not what Zack did here, implying that international law can and even must be applied to individual British Jews who did nothing but attend an event at a synagogue.

If you don’t want British Jews to hold events where they plan how to leave the UK for Israel, maybe you should stop inciting violence and hate against them.
