💥In an urgent open letter, Israel's retired top officials urge Opposition party leaders to grow a pair. "A government decision to disregard a Supreme Court ruling is no mere political or legal dispute– it undermines one of the fundamental principles of any democratic régime." Calling on Avigdor Lieberman, Naftali Bennett, Gadi Eisenkot and Yair Golan to "unite to fight" the government's decision, say that anyone "seeking the Israeli public's trust to lead the country must prove they know how to lead the public even in protest against the government."
Among the signatories, former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former Defense Minister and former IDF Chiefs of Staff Moshe Ya'alon & Dan Halutz & former Police Commish Roni Alsheich.
סשה טרופנוב וספיר כהן מתחתנים.
חוזר - סשה טרופנוב וספיר כהן מתחתנים.
וואו. מאיפה אני אתחיל ?
סשה אחי היקר. היום אתה הופך לגבר!היום אתה מתגבר על חיי הרווקות ועושה את הצעד הנועז ביותר שגבר יכל לעשות ולהתחתן . מזל טוב חבר יקר.
סשה - ההיכרות שלנו מעזה היא אמנם קצרה אבל חקוקה עמוק בזיכרון.
היינו ביחד באותו חדר , מוחזקים כ״אסירים״ של הגיאהד האיסלאמי , אחרי שנה של שבי, בתוך רפיח , רגע לפני הפלישה הגדולה של צה״ל .
ודווקא בתקופת זמן הזאת הקדוש ברוך הוא שלח אותך אליי .
איך התגלגלו האירועים ואנחנו לא ביחד באותו חדר מסריח עם עכברושים ברפיח, אלא מתחת לחופה שלך, מתחתן עם אהובת ליבך שנחטפה ביחד איתך!! ומתחתן איתה .
אתם לא זוג יונים, אתם זוג לוחמים. ואני מעריץ אותכם.
זוכר את הלילה האחרון שלנו ביחד ברפיח? איך המבנים קרסו עלינו אחד אחרי השני? אנחנו ניצלנו בנס אחי.
זוכר שלא ידענו אם אנחנו לכודים ברפיח או שיצליחו להבריח אותנו ? אז הצליחו. תודה לאל.
זוכר איך אבו יאסר המסריחול דחס אותנו בתוך תא מטען מדרכו לרפיח לדיר אל סאלח? זוכר ?? והיום, אנחנו ביחד, לא ברפיח, לא דחוסים בתא מטען , אלא משוחררים ואתה בחליפת חתן מהודרת מתחתן עם ספיר . כמה דיברת עליה אחי.
אין מאושר ממני ללוות אותך ביום זה , ומאחל לכם להביא ילדים קטנים ושמחים ושלא יידעו רע. שלא יידעו מלחמה בעזרת השם.
אבא שלך גאה בך מלמעלה אחי היקר❤️✊🏾
Desde pequena o cheiro de lavanda me lembra minha mãe. É o cheiro favorito dela. Ela sempre teve o sonho de conhecer campos de Lavanda. Ela foi pra todos que têm no Brasil, mas um dia ela queria mesmo conhecer um campo de lavanda na França. Ano passado ela passou por um câncer e, durante os longos dias que a acompanhei em cirurgia/quimio/tratamento, eu prometi pra ela que assim que ela se curasse eu ia levar ela pra realizar esse sonho e pra comemorar o fim da doença.
Hoje ela tá curada e a gente tá aqui pra celebrar o fim do tratamento e amanhã o aniversário de 71 aninhos dela 🫶🥰
Viva viva viva!
Desejo pra vocês: que vocês possam realizar os próprios sonhos e os sonhos de quem vocês amam ❤️

The nation of Israel lives!
Torci pro Brasil hoje como não torcia desde 1994. Veio de dentro. Acho que porque tava vendo o jogo com o meu filho, que, apesar de argentino, também tava torcendo bastante pro Brasil. Legal sentir isso de novo, tomara que 1994 se repita!
#Hamas can kill, maim and torture Palestinians in #Gaza until eternity. It has done so since it came to power in 2006. The Progressives in the West will turn a blind eye. They have always done so.
A simple question: Why is it so difficult to say the words?
I read your statement. It is remarkable how carefully chosen words can still fail to express basic humanity.
You can speak in sophisticated legal language, but the message is unmistakable: you continue to sow doubt about the sexual violence committed on October 7.
Every such statement deepens the harm to survivors and weakens the global fight against conflict-related sexual violence.
How about - I believe you? I know you’ve been through hell?
At what point does skepticism become complicity in silencing survivors?

Berlim inaugurou hoje um memorial em homenagem às testemunhas de Jeová perseguidas pelo regime nazista. Estima-se que cerca de 14 mil membros desse grupo tenham sido presos, 4.200 enviados a campos de concentração e ao menos 1.750 assassinados entre 1933 e 1945.
Diferente do genocídio dos judeus, fundado numa ideologia racial e eliminacionista, a perseguição às Testemunhas de Jeová decorria da recusa religiosa em saudar Hitler, aderir às organizações do regime e prestar serviço militar, recusa que o nazismo reinterpretou como subversão política.
Esses fiéis podiam, ao menos formalmente, encerrar a perseguição assinando uma declaração de renúncia à fé. Pouquíssimas o fizeram, e é essa fidelidade que faz de sua trajetória um caso emblemático de resistência fundada na consciência.
Preservar a memória de todas as vítimas do nazismo é um compromisso fundamental contra o esquecimento e a intolerância.
Nazismo nunca mais!

This week, the world witnessed Reem Alsalem smirk at the heartbreaking testimony of Hamas sexual violence survivor Ilana Gritzewsky.
As a UN expert, she's repeatedly denied the Hamas atrocities against Israeli women.
🧵 UN Watch has documented it all:
Former Hamas hostage Ilana Gritzewsky testified before the 62nd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on Tuesday about the sexual violence perpetrated against hostages taken captive during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, invasion and massacre.
During her testimony, Gritzewsky accused the UN special rapporteur on violence against women, Reem Alsalem, of denying evidence that such crimes against women occurred.
“On October 7 and in captivity, Jewish women were raped, abused and humiliated. And you, special rapporteur, you choose silence and denial,” Gritzewsky said at the Palais des Nations, addressing Alsalem, who was in attendance.

The moment Eli Sharabi, who was held hostage in Gaza, told the UN the truth.
"NO ONE in Gaza helped me. I was treated worse than animal. The civilians saw us suffering and they cheered our kidnappers. They were definitely involved."
Share this. The mainstream media won't.
The constant, uncomfortable shifting, the tight-lipped, disgusted look on her face, could the U.N. Rapporteur on Violence against Women look like she wants the survivor sitting in front of her to shut up any more?
Is this how someone whose entire job is to advocate for women against violence should be acting when faced with a woman who suffered verifiable violence?
Should a plea from a victim for an apology be met with hateful silence?
The UN should be ashamed, but I have a sinking feeling they're proud instead.
“Let this be the beginning of change.”
Today at U.N. Headquarters, I addressed the Human Rights Council with a simple message: silence is not an option, and human dignity is not negotiable. Change begins when we choose truth over indifference.

BREAKING: Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy, founder and chair of the Civil Commission on October 7 Crimes by Hamas Against Women and Children, challenges the U.N. over its failure to stand with Israeli victims.
@CochavElkayam's powerful testimony on behalf of UN Watch:
Our Civil Commission’s report, Silenced No More, was recently presented to you.
Drawing on an extensive historical archive, we assembled the most comprehensive evidentiary record of the sexual crimes of October 7 and in captivity.
For two years, we immersed ourselves in testimonies of unimaginable violence.
We revealed 13 patterns of abuse — including rape, gang rape, sexual torture, and the deliberate mutilation of victims’ faces and genitalia.
Victims were filmed while being tortured.
Families were forced to see the suffering of their loved ones.
We had to coin a new legal term – kinocidal sexual violence – to describe the deliberate sexual torture of family members.
This terror was made for visibility. Women’s bodies became spectacles of war.
This was also a calculated strategy, repeated again and again.
The truth is that Hamas created a blueprint for others to follow, putting women at risk worldwide.
Finally, the question is no longer whether the crimes occurred. But what is the world do about it.
Speaking for so many Israeli women who care about women’s rights, we were heartbroken by your response.
Where is your compassion?
Will the UN rapporteurs who doubted or denied these crimes acknowledge the truth?
Israeli victims were not merely abandoned. They were singled out, dehumanized, delegitimized.
We are now left to face a world consumed by hatred, and with an international system that fuels it.
Will anything change?
We call upon you to recognize our findings. And let this be the beginning of change.

Guess who just blocked UN Watch?
None other than U.N. “human rights expert” Reem al-Salem.
⭕️ She can't handle hearing October 7 survivors.
⭕️ She can't handle us asking why she took $170,000 from Saudi Arabia and other misogynistic regimes.
⭕️ She can't handle the truth.
A Europa decidiu receber o Taliban para tratar de questoes migratórias das pessoas afegãs buscando refúgio do Talibã na Europa. Se vc é mulher e nao perceber o que tá rolando no mundo, ta precisando se aproximar de outras mulheres que estão.
At 13, Kurt Marx fled Nazi Germany on the Kindertransport in 1939, helping bring a Sefer Torah to Britain alongside other Jewish children from his school in Cologne.
Now aged 100, he has been reunited with that same Torah and read again from the Bar Mitzvah portion he learned as a boy.
The scroll was rescued following Kristallnacht in 1938 and recently traced to Brondesbury Park Synagogue through work by the United Synagogue Heritage Team and the Association of Jewish Refugees, @TheAJR_.
