@AdamKinzinger very normal Jews and supporters of the US Israel alliance don't want you to watch either of them. Maybe don't paint with such a broad brush?
@NYCMayor Utterly disgusting. Mamdani mustered a few words for the Israelis murdered and abducted by Hamas before pivoting to a lengthy rant demonizing Israelis.
@NYCMayor He basically said “The Jews that died, sad, but it’s their fault.”
He needs the city’s antisemitism policy for himself.
Just an atrocious statement
Worse than Hamas propaganda. I have now seen the documentary NAZA in its entirety, and it is worse than I imagined. Over three years, I’ve tried not to be surprised by ignorance, disinformation, and distortions relating to war, but this is at the top for many reasons.
I will write a detailed analysis soon, but one of the worst, a massive claim displayed in the middle of the film, in bright yellow against a black screen: “Israel has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians in Gaza.”
Not even Hamas says this. Meaning not even Hamas claims Israel has killed every Palestinian that has died in Gaza since October 7th. Hamas has publicly killed Palestinians to maintain power in the Gaza. There have been battles between Hamas and anti-Hamas clans. Up to 20% of the 12,000 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad rockets fired at Israel fell inside Gaza. Recent Hamas reporting shows natural deaths on their list. To say every person that died in Gaza was killed by Israel is a vulgar lie.
There are a lot of other lies, lies by omission, and lies of ignorance in NAZA, but this claim is unique and follows the lies, damned lies, and statistics for accusations that go against the actual number put out by Hamas or reality.
More to follow on Naza.
Dozens of bullets were fired by Hamas terrorists at the door of Tamar and Johnny’s safe room on October 7.
Even as they lay dying, Tamar and Johnny kept holding the door shut, trying to protect little Shahar, Arbel, and Omer until their final moments.
Tamar managed to send a text saying they had been shot and were critically wounded.
Then the terrorists set the house on fire.
Tamar, Johnny, Shahar, Arbel, and Omer all burned to death.
@realajedelman Can't disagree. But it does bring up the age old question of why "this" miracle and not "that" one? Why not stop 10/7 before it happens, or lessen the tragedy by a large amount? It is not for us to question Gd, but also...WHY?
Brave men. 🙏
They aren’t build to sit idly by and await their fate.
They are trained for this out of necessity.
Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱
You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.
Especially a plane full of them.
Gaza Ministry of Health has now released mortality numbers for 2025. For the first time since the war, they give numbers for all deaths, including natural deaths.
In 2025 there were a total of 24,650 deaths in Gaza. 18,870 (76.6%) of these were violent, of which 17,286 (70.1%) were due to "war operations" and 1,584 (6.4%) were classified as accidents. There were a total of 5,780 (23.4%) non-violent deaths, including disease, old age, and all other causes.
5,780 deaths is about the same as the annual non-violent mortality in Gaza before the war, and the age distribution is similar to 2022. There is no significant excess of non-violent deaths.
In other words, despite frequent and loud claims to the contrary, there seems to be very few indirect deaths due to the war in Gaza in 2025.
As there were 50,227 births in 2025, this gives a natural population growth of 25,577 or 1.2% in Gaza in 2025, which is higher population growth than most countries in the world and more than the world average.
There are currently ~6,000 births/month in Gaza, per GMH. Assuming a similar number of non-violent deaths in Gaza in 2026 as in 2025, that means there are currently 12x more births than deaths in Gaza, and that Gaza is now experiencing one of the highest population growths in the world.
Only Israelis on a flight:hear weird cockpit noises→smash the door open→drag a random passenger doctor to save the captain after the co pilot stabs him→neutralize the terrorist co pilot→ recruit another passenger who’s a pilot→ & land the nearly crashing plane safely. HEROES
We thank God and breathe a deep sigh of relief that the passengers of Fly Dubai FZ1073 are now safely in @Israel. Their heroism in the face of terror averted catastrophe.
Israel endures because its people refuse to surrender. And tonight we are even more proud to call this extraordinary nation our true partner.
We got an early taste of New York Magazine's new direction in the days after 10/7.
In September 2023, we got a call: my husband @BenZevG would be featured in @NYMag's list of the most powerful New Yorkers. A (lovely) reporter interviewed multiple people about our synagogue. Mark Peterson came to take pictures of services right after Yom Kippur. The piece was filed.
Then came 10/7. That Friday, we got another call. He'd been cut. "Editors got spooked," we were told.
This was a little story about a shul drawing young Jews back to faith. It had nothing to do with the Middle East. Overnight, New York Jews like us -- Orthodox, deeply connected to our ancestral homeland -- had become untouchable. It was chilling. I sensed, in that moment, that this would be the beginning of Jews being pushed out of cultural institutions, and eventually, erased.
So if you ever wondered why that list had 49 names instead of 50, now you know. They cut the rabbi.
@ACampaNajjar He was convicted of multiple murders. Khanna would never agree to let Trump out of jail to run. Why is it ok to let a killer of innocent civilians out? Shameful.
I am happy to join 6,000 prominent scholars, legal experts to sign a letter rejecting Gaza genocide charge. https://t.co/uJGPuKHE5G
