@NYCMayor The Mayor of NY City is commemorating the Nakba, when Arab countries lost a war they started with Israel, and the Palestinians rejected every deal for a Two State Solution for the last 78 years.
That's only the real "catastrophe" here.
Shame on your @NYCMayor. This is political propaganda masquerading as compassion.
Mamdani erases the fact that the Arab world rejected the UN's partition plan which would have created a Palestinian state and instead launched a war to destroy the newborn Jewish state in 1948.
He ignores that roughly 850,000 Jews were expelled or forced to flee Arab countries in the years that followed.
And he presents “Nakba Day” as though it is about grief, when in reality it is a movement that rejects Israel's existence (and along with it millions of Jews).
In a city where Jews are already facing rampant harassment and violence, this kind of one-sided historical revisionism fuels hostility toward Jews.
Nakba Day - on May 14, 1948 Israel declared its independence.
A coalition of five Arab nations including Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq immediately declared war and invaded Israel.
Israel won the war.
The Arab nations created a day to commemorate the embarrassing loss.
Flotilla leader Thiago Avila got his detention extended until Sunday. He entered court with hands clasped behind his back as if he’s handcuffed. He’s not. Even the guard looks confused. There’s nothing real about this people.
Bill Maher: Calling Jews "colonizers" in Israel is as ridiculous as calling Native Americans "settlers" in America. It’s not just a lie, it’s a total defiance of history.
Our connection to this land didn't start in 1948. It started 3,000 years ago. The Bible is our deed, and the archeology under every inch of Judea and Samaria is our ID card. You cannot "occupy" your own ancestral home. We are the indigenous sons and daughters who finally returned after a long exile.
It’s time to stop apologizing for our existence and our heritage. While empires came and went, we remained faithful to this soil. We aren't guests; we are the landlords. 🇮🇱📖
Remember Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar?
This is how he stood before a large crowd in Gaza back then, holding a child in his arms simply to make himself less of a target by using the child as a shield.
This is what terrorists do.
This evil man is now dead.
If your first reaction to seeing an Israeli NBA All Star on the court is to greet him by showing solidarity with the people who massacred over 1000 Jews on October 7th, you may just be an attention seeking Antisemite.
When Jews pray at a synagogue, their place of worship can be set on fire.
When Jews eat at a kosher restaurant, its windows can be smashed.
When Jews study at a Jewish school, they receive bomb threats.
When Jews visit a Jewish museum, they can be shot in the street.
When Jews stay home, they can be poisoned by a nanny.
When Jews gather peacefully to demand the return of hostages, they can be burned alive with firebombs.
And when Jews attend a Chanukah party on the beach, they can be hunted down and murdered like animals.
This is not a life. World leaders have allowed this to become our reality. Now they must act.
We refuse to live like this.
Every single day, Palestinians are being executed in Gaza. Not by Israel. By Hamas.
Men and women who dare to criticize them. Journalists who try to tell the truth. People accused, without proof, of “collaboration.”
They are taken to the streets, beaten, and shot.
Our own people murdered by those who claim to “defend” us.
And yet, I don’t see a single protest.
Not in London. Not in New York. Not in Paris.
The same voices that march when Israel is involved suddenly disappear when Hamas kills Palestinians.
If you truly care about Palestinian lives then care about all Palestinian lives.
Silence in the face of Hamas’ terror is not solidarity. It’s complicity.
