@ProGeordie1992 @LBC @NickFerrariLBC @KemiBadenoch Imagine a neighbourhood with lots of burglaries. The police isn’t effective and burglaries keep occurring. Neighbours pool together to set up a rota for neighbourhood patrol. Mr Smith is unable to volunteer so he buys the volunteers high viz jackets. Not allowed?

@ProGeordie1992 @LBC @NickFerrariLBC @KemiBadenoch Help me understand your line of thinking …people shouldn’t be allowed to donate to their local animal shelter? Their local church? Mosque? Their local food bank? Local homeless shelter?

@ProGeordie1992 @LBC @NickFerrariLBC @KemiBadenoch You should see it as a win-win as it takes pressure off the NHS ambulance service.

[Jonathan Sacerdoti @jonsac]

Several ambulances belonging to the Jewish volunteer emergency service Hatzolah were deliberately set alight overnight outside a synagogue in Golders Green, a predominantly Jewish area of London. The attack was carried out by masked individuals and is being treated as an anti-Semitic incident.

Hatzolah is a volunteer-run emergency medical service that provides rapid response care, often arriving faster than standard ambulances due to its locally based responders. It was founded within Jewish communities to offer culturally aware support but serves anyone in need and works alongside organisations such as the NHS.

As an Iranian who actively fights the Islamic Republic and openly cheers for its complete destruction, it is honestly painful to watch so many Americans desperately hoping their own country loses this war.

The regime ruling Iran has spent 47 years destroying our lives and our country. It steals, represses, and murders. And the moment people rise up and protest, it slaughters them in the streets. That is why we want it gone.

If I had been given freedom, opportunity, and a chance at a good life in Iran, I would be defending my country today, not fighting its regime.

But the reality is that defending Iran today means fighting its first and biggest enemy: the Islamic Republic.

The regime gave us none of those things. Instead, it destroyed our country so badly that millions of us had to leave just to survive.

America gave me what my own country under the Islamic regime never did.

Freedom. Opportunity. A voice. The dignity of being treated like a human being.

As a woman, I have rights here that I could only dream of in Iran. This country allowed me to build a life that was impossible under the Islamic Republic. For that, I will always be grateful.

And yes, because of that, I will defend the United States if needed. This country, with all its flaws, is still worth protecting.

Iran is worth protecting too.

That is exactly why the Islamic Republic must be destroyed, so Iran itself can survive and be rebuilt.

What is truly sad is watching people who were born into freedom cheering for the enemies of the very country that gave them everything.

Some people have no idea how rare and valuable what they have really is.

It is not inhumane to care that Iranian school girls were killed.

It is inhumane to need the missile to be fired by the U.S. or Israel before deciding to care.

That protest doesn't come from your heart. It comes from your hate. Trust me, we feel it.

What happened in Sydney was not random violence, and it was not simply anti-semitism. It was Jihad. And it carries a stark warning for the world.

@Keir_Starmer Dear PM, your statement is sickeningly out of touch with reality in ‘the region’. The regime in Iran is dangerously close to developing nuclear weapons, has repeatedly refused to come to the negotiating table, and its motto is Death to Israel, Death to America (and the West).

[Luai Ahmed @JustLuai]

Israel is the least racist country I’ve ever been to, and I say this as an Arab.

I first visited Israel in November 2023, right after the war started.

I decided to go because I wanted to see, with my own eyes, the country and the people I was programmed to hate and kill. Especially after October 7.

After 20 years of being brainwashed in mosques and schools, I truly believed that Jews and Israelis were racist, spiteful, Arab-hating, genocidal freaks, even though I had never actually met one.

Before arriving, I expected to be insulted or mocked, called a terrorist, and denied entry into the so-called “apartheid state.”

In my head, I thought: best case scenario, someone spits on me. Worst case, I’m shot or stabbed.

And then I came to Israel, during one of its most traumatic and painful wars, and I discovered that Israelis are some of the sweetest, kindest, and warmest people I’ve ever met.

I lived in Yemen for 20 years and Europe for 10. I’ve been to 23 countries, and I’d never fallen for a country like I’ve fallen for Israel.

It’s like a combination of my favorite things about Yemen (warm and kind people, incredible food, a sense of kinship), and my favorite things about Sweden (human rights, women’s rights, a rule of law, democracy, LGBTQ+ rights).

Israel is warm, vibrant, welcoming… The friends I’ve made here have filled my life with more light and love than I ever lost. Whatever fell away since October 7 was found in TLV and Jerusalem.

Am Yisrael Chai.

🧐 On university campuses in New York, the students don’t know what is happening in Syria, let alone protesting it .
Why is that, one should ask.
No Jews, no news.

[Amjad Taha أمجد طه @amjadt25]

Why must this great nation endure such horrors? In the morning, their babies are returned to them in coffins, and at night, their buses are blown up by terrorist attacks. Why can’t Israel even mourn its murdered children without terrorists targeting public spaces near hospitals and schools, such as in Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv?
Anyhow, today was one of the darkest days in history. Some of those Palestinians who celebrated it will regret their actions for the rest of their lives, and history will never forgive them. They kidnapped infants as young as eight months and four years old, along with elderly victims as old as 83, and murdered them. No cause can justify this.
Even if we entertain their absurd narrative that Israel killed these hostages in airstrikes, Hamas is still responsible. Why? Because they kidnapped babies, placed them in dangerous locations, and used them as human shields. Even in their own scenario, Hamas is guilty. They have admitted to their crimes. And let me be clear: no one believes their lies.

Yes, I care about the children of Gaza as much as I do about the children of Israel. That is why I demand their freedom from Hamas, from terrorists, from rapists. Free Gaza’s children. Free Israel’s babies.

On a side note:
Oded Lipshitz, 83 years old, was a volunteer with "Road to Recovery," an organization that helped transport Palestinian patients, mainly children, from Gaza to Israeli hospitals for life-saving treatment. Hamas kidnapped him alive and returned him dead.

Hamas terrorists, like depraved animals, danced in celebration. They even brought children from Gaza to witness and rejoice in the execution of baby Ariel Bibas and Kfir. Nothing will erase this barbaric image from our memories. The Bibas babies have shown the world the true nature of Hamas, a vile, monstrous entity that must be eradicated, not negotiated with. First, free the hostages, dead or alive. Then, humanity must pursue every last one of their kidnappers and killers. Justice must be served. No mercy for those who threaten humanity. The Muslim Brotherhood terrorists must be stopped.

A picture speaks a thousand words.

A bone-thin Jewish man emerges from 16 months of captivity in underground tunnels, emaciated, shocked, bewildered, and unwillingly clutching his terrorist certificate to memorialize his time in captivity—as though his suffering was an educational milestone—then paraded on a stage in front of a thousand flashing cameras and handed a mic to say he cannot wait to return to his wife and children at long last, only to be laughed at in a final show of humiliation by the terrorists who already killed his wife and children.

He is alive, but what life is left for him? What ever hope he had, died in the tunnels he survived.

We (humanity) will never forgive, we will never forget.

[Elica Le Bon الیکا‌ ل بن @elicalebon]

Today, Israeli hostage Eli Sharabi was returned. Hamas killed his wife and two daughters, pictured below, as well as his brother in captivity who was kidnapped with him, and they also shot and killed his dog. As you can see from Eli's physicals health, he almost did not make it also.

When they found his murdered wife and daughters, they were huddled in their mother's arms as though she was trying to protect them. She died trying to save them.

As Eli is being released, Hamas forces him to tell the world that he is happy to go back to his wife and children, whom they had not told that they had killed, as a form of psychological torture, while his abusers parade him on a public stage with a certificate for his time in captivity and the world looks on, indifferent to the sickest, darkest, Black Mirror episode of reality.

Not only that, but 9 wounded hostages were exchanged for 112 terrorists who had committed at least one or more acts of murder, meaning not only do the hostages have to live with the fact that they were kidnapped and their families were murdered by terrorists, they are forced to serve as the bargaining chip to exchange for the same terrorists that have killed their families and friends.

I will never forgive anyone who used the term "resistance" or "liberation movement" within 100 miles of Hamas. There is no equivalent to the evil of radical Islamists in our time. None. If you’re so sure you’re on “the right side of history,” explain it to your maker.

To those of you who said “never again” after the Holocaust and wondered what you would’ve done had you been alive, your silence as Jews emerge from Auschwitzian terror tunnels is your answer.

@VerminusM Sad how much of the pro-Palestine mob doesn’t know the first thing about Palestinian history. It makes it impossible to have a conversation grounded in facts.

[Jonathan Sacerdoti @jonsac]

The dreadful images from the Gaza hostage handover show just what savagery the western protestors are supporting.

[Micol Bedarida @MBedarida]

Kudos BBC for yet again making fact-checking secondary to sensationalism. 3 Jews remaining in Syria is ‘diverse’!? 🤣Israel is the only country in the region where it’s unexceptional for Jewish and Muslim families to picnic side by side. This never transpires from your reporting.

[Orly Goldschmidt 🎗️ @Orlygoldschmidt]

"Jewish, Muslim, Christian, they're all here, they want to believe they have a space now..."

Except they're not. In the 1940s, Syria's Jewish community was 40,000 strong. Today just an estimated 3 remain.

Good luck finding a Jew in Syria for an interview.
