@Zim4Israel Happy birthday and thank you!!

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

To every non-Jew who stands with Israel when it’s unpopular: thank you.

You saw past the propaganda, the campus mobs, and the moral inversion, and chose truth over tribal fashion.

That takes actual courage.

[Richard Lexton @RLexton]

@1rorycowan @X @BoyGeorge Thank you and have a good weekend as well!!

The ongoing vilification of Israel by Labour is reckless and irresponsible. It risks fanning the flames of antisemitic sentiments, which puts the Jewish community at risk, and it shows a lack of understanding of the complexities of the situation in the Middle East.

Since the ceasefire was agreed last October, Hamas has refused to give up its arms, continues to terrorise civilians and violates the ceasefire agreement and yet almost all the condemnation we hear from Labour is directed towards Israel.

Under Burnham Labour is spreading dangerous rhetoric.

[Moshe @IsraelIDFend]

Jews need to accept it once and for all:

You can’t debate Jew haters. They’re all…

✅ too stupid to open a history book
✅ too dumb to process actual facts
✅ too poisoned by hate to love life

Life is short.
Enjoy yours.
Let them ruin theirs.
Just keep laughing.

A letter to Palestinians: Enough is enough

For 78 years, since 1948, the Arab world (and those in it) has been told to bleed, fight, pay, and sacrifice for Palestine.

Enough.

You rejected the existence of a Jewish state and expected generations of Arabs and non Arabs to inherit that war. Their soldiers died. Their economies paid. Their governments poured billions into “the cause ”. And after every defeat, the answer was the same: more war, more money, more martyrs, more excuses.

You turned terrorism into “resistance.” Jews were murdered on buses, in cafés, and in their streets. Planes were hijacked. Athletes were murdered at the Munich Olympics. Suicide bombers were celebrated while children were raised to hate and believe that dying was preferable to compromise.

You demanded money from the Arab world and the West while you own corrupt leaders enriched themselves. The world paid for schools, hospitals, refugee agencies, food, and infrastructure, while your people stole money to build rockets, weapons, tunnels, and suicide belts.

And wherever Palestinian terrorists went, others paid the price.

Jordan nearly lost control of its own country during Black September. Lebanon was dragged into a civil war because of Palestinian groups.

Yet responsibility is always someone else’s.

Israel. America. Britain. Europe. The Arabs. The UN. The West.

Anyone except your own leaders and your own political choices.

Even today, the keffiyeh and Palestine are exported slogans and symbols across Western streets and campuses alongside the same message: we are victims, therefore everyone else owes us.

No. We don’t owe you a thing.

Our children do not owe you their blood nor their future.

Our countries do not owe your factions their stability.

Western taxpayers do not owe corrupt Palestinian leaders an unlimited stream of money.

And nobody should be expected to finance another tunnel, rocket, or generation taught that killing Jews is a holy duty.

You want a future? Then build one.

Stop worshipping the past. Stop glorifying terrorism. Stop enriching corrupt leaders. Stop teaching generation after generation that destroying Israel is more important than building your own state. Accept that Jews are not disappearing and that another century of war will not change that reality.

Seventy-eight years is enough.

Face your failures. Take responsibility for your choices. Build something instead of destroying everything around you.

And stop demanding that the rest of the world pay the bill.

Leave us alone.

A German Man, A Swedish Man, and an Israeli Man are kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists...

“Listen up, infidels,” says one of the terrorists, you have one last wish before I kill you.”

The German pleads for mercy, “Germany has always embraced your people; what have I done to deserve this ?”

After no answer, he decides he wants sausage and a good beer.

Next, the Swedish man screams at the top of his lungs, “Have you no humanity !? Sweden has fully welcomed your traditions and faith; why would you do this?!”

After no answer, he finally says he’ll have a nice fish.

Finally, the Israeli yawns and says to the Hamas terrorist, “I don’t want anything from you; I just want you to kick me in the ass.”

Furious with his reply, the Palestinian kicks him in the ass.

The Israeli gets up, turns around, and kills the entire terrorist cell.

Shocked, the German asks,” Why did you ask him to kick you in the ass?”

The Israeli replies, “If he didn’t, you would’ve just said I started it.”

In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.

I will release it!

"Streeting should ask the Ministry of Defence lawyers and operators for a serious review. If he still believes Israel fell below British standards, he should publish the basis: which incidents, which intelligence, which legal test and which British comparator. If he cannot, he should withdraw the charge. A defence secretary who cannot distinguish the horror of urban warfare from evidence of unlawful warfare is unfit for office."

He cannot, ergo unfit for office.

Hamas uses tunnels under hospitals.

Israel uses Iron Dome over hospitals.

"May 1948. Haifa.
Golda Meir sat in a car leaving the city in darkness, wrapped in the wide dark robes of a Muslim woman. She did not speak Arabic. Her companion, Ezra Danin, a Haganah intelligence expert who did, was dressed as an Arab man. Together they posed as a married couple, moving through checkpoints into Transjordan, heading toward a secret meeting in Amman with King Abdullah I.

The windows of a second car had been covered with heavy black fabric so she could not be identified. The king had refused to come to the border. He had refused to alert his Arab Legion that Jewish guests were coming. If anything went wrong, she was on her own. C*pture meant interrogation. The implications beyond that were clear.
She went anyway.

This was not their first meeting. In November 1947, she had traveled to Naharayim on the banks of the Jordan River for a clandestine meeting with Abdullah, no disguise required that time. At that meeting, Abdullah had given his word. If the United Nations voted to partition Palestine, he would not att*ck the Jewish state. He promised.

Six months later, word reached the Jewish leadership that Abdullah had joined the Arab League and was preparing to march.

On May 11, 1948, four days before Israel would declare independence, Golda Meir traveled to Amman in secret to ask him directly. Would he keep his promise?
She found a different man from the one she had met in November. Pale, tense, and depressed. He explained that he had spoken to her as a man alone. Now he was """"one of five,"""" bound to Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, and Iraq in a coalition he could no longer break from.

He asked her to accept a proposal: Palestine would not become a Jewish state. Jews would receive autonomy within a unified Jordan and after a year the whole territory would be merged under his rule with Jewish representation in his parliament.
She refused immediately.

He asked why the Jews were in such haste to declare a state. She told him they had been waiting two thousand years. He told her the Arabs could not wait longer. She told him that if he turned his back on his promise, w*r was inevitable because the Jews would resist.

The meeting ended. The w*r came anyway, five days later, on the morning after Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948.

But Golda Meir had already been shaping that moment for months.

In January 1948, with the pre-state leadership desperately short of funds and w*r visibly approaching, she had been sent to the United States to raise money. The treasurer of the Jewish Agency believed they might collect seven or eight million dollars if they were fortunate. Meir aimed for twenty-five million.

She spoke at the General Assembly of Jewish Federations in Chicago, a speech she later described as unscheduled, unrehearsed, and unannounced, and the response was unlike anything the room had experienced. She raised twice the requested amount in that tour alone, ultimately bringing back more than thirty million dollars.

After independence was declared she returned to the United States on a second fundraising mission and raised approximately fifty million dollars more. In total, her two tours brought in around ninety million dollars, roughly a third of the entire cost of Israel's W*r of Independence.
David Ben-Gurion, who would become Israel's first Prime Minister, wrote in his diary: """"Someday when history will be written, it will be said that there was a Jewish woman who got the money which made the state possible."

On May 14, 1948, Golda Meir stood in a room in Tel Aviv and signed her name to Israel's Declaration of Independence. She was one of two women among the signatories. She later recalled: """"When I studied American history as a schoolgirl and I read about those who signed the Declaration of Independence, I couldn't imagine these were real people doing something real. And there I was sitting down and signing a declaration of establishment. She wept.

The decades that followed built one of the most consequential political careers of the twentieth century. She served as Israel's first Ambassador to the Soviet Union, as Minister of Labor overseeing the construction of 200,000 apartments, and then as Foreign Minister for a decade. In 1969, at age seventy, she became Prime Minister.

She was also, by then, secretly fghting cncer, diagnosed in the mid-1960s with a lymphatic condition she kept entirely hidden. She governed Israel and managed international crises while battling a terminal illness she had decided no one needed to know about. The country's needs, she had concluded, were larger than her own.

The wr she had spent her life trying to prevent came anyway in a different form on a different day. On October 6, 1973, Egypt and Syria launched a coordinated surprise attck on Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. The intelligence failure was catastrophic. In the first hours, Meir made decisions her military commanders later credited with preventing total disaster: authorizing the mobilization of reserves against cautious advice and refusing to collapse under the weight of what was happening.

Israel survved. But the political aftermath was merciless. In April 1974, Golda Meir resigned, not because she was found personally responsible, but because she understood that democratic leadership sometimes requires absorbing institutional failure regardless of individual blme.

She ded on December 8, 1978, in Jerusalem, at the age of eighty, survved by her children, grandchildren, and a nation she had helped bring into existence, fund into survval, and govern through its most dngerous years.

She had carried her illness in secret for more than a decade. She had crossed into enemy territory disguised as another person to try to stop a w*r with words. She had raised the money that by any honest accounting made the state possible.

When asked what she thought of being called a great woman, she reportedly said she had worked to be a great leader. The adjective, she suggested, was beside the point.

She was right about the point.
She was both things anyway."
