Palestinian terrorists in Gaza released a video of Israeli Evyatar David, who they took hostage on October 7 at the music festival and have held for 665 days. He is skin and bones, a shell of the man he used to be.
The IDF published multiple images of plentiful meals shared by terrorists in the tunnels where he is being held. David is being deliberately starved by his captors.
It’s a sick psychological game.
50 people are still being held hostage in Gaza. Around 20 of them are still alive.
France, the UK and Canada announced they will reward Palestinians with a state for their terror efforts.
@aziz0nomics I think it will take some time to undo the damage radicalism and terrorism has caused but that is the dream. A thriving two states with easy borders so Jews can visit their holy sights in the Palestinian state and vice versa. With safety & dignity for all. We can only hope. 🙏

I am calling upon every college and university to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which recognizes that Anti-Zionism is or can be a form of antisemitism. If you’re targeting a Jewish institution, like Hillel, simply for being Jewish, you’re guilty of antisemitism. If you’re making antisemitic threats or tropes that substitute the word ‘Zionist’ for ‘Jew’, you’re guilty of both Anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
This is what they left out when teaching us about Palestine/Israel in Iran.
All they taught us was that a group of Jews purchased some land, then claimed the entire country and expelled everyone. There is ZERO mention of Arabs attacking the Jewish side.
“Embargo words”—words that shut down our ability to criticize oppressive MENA systems and regimes—such as “self-hating,” “racist,” “Islamophobic,” “western talking points,” etc are a reflection of orientalist infantilization, where the west sees us as too uncivilized and savage to be capable of progress and growth, so to “save” us from the “racism” of criticism, they place an embargo over discourse using paradigmatic leftist tools of shame, blame, guilt, fear, and suppression.
I am so fucking SICK of the Hamas trolls who consistently deny that any rapes happened in 7/10. As if Islamic terrorists aren’t known for their rotten view on women, especially Israeli women. This idolisation of Hamas is sickening. How can you live with yourselves?
‘If we can't agree that rape is wrong; that rape is not resistance, that rape is not freedom fighting - then the question becomes not what is happening in the Middle East but what is happening to our humanity?’ - Sheryl Sandberg
This morning I’m at a conference at the House of Lords hosted by Sheryl Sandberg about the rapes of October 7 and the likely ongoing rapes of hostages.
She started with these words that many so-called feminist groups in this country should take heed of:
‘If we can't agree that rape is wrong; that rape is not resistance, that rape is not freedom fighting - then the question becomes not what is happening in the Middle East but what is happening to our humanity?’
Casual reminder that the majority of the people living in Israel are Arab Jews, Arab Muslims, African Jews, and Turkish Jews.
Calling Israel a "white colonialist project" is criminally ignorant.
🚨🇾🇪 Here's something the international media is not covering about the Yemeni Houthis (the so-called "heroes"):
The Houthi terrorists sentenced human rights defender Fatema Al-Arwali to death for reporting on their crimes.
They kidnapped her, denied her a lawyer, and falsely accused her of being "a spy for Saudi Arabia" without a fair trial in December.
They're executing her in February.
Her only crime is being a brave Yemeni woman who's reporting on their crimes.
Just like Hamas, they execute everyone who opposes them.

I had the honor of delivering the annual MLK sermon at Central Synagogue.
My speech touches on a range of topics and themes: October 7th, Jim Crow, Leo Frank, MLK, Elie Wiesel, silence, indifference, moral clarity, nonviolence, Israel, Am Yisrael Chai, Hatikvah, and hope.
When I visited Israel two months ago for the first time, I was expecting to experience apartheid. I ended up experiencing one of the most open, diverse, and kindest societies I have ever encountered.
People who describe Israel as an "apartheid" have clearly never been there.
