"The key message is: we need fuel to come into📍#Gaza otherwise the aid operation, clean drinking water, hospitals operating - will come to a close on Wednesday night"
🆘@TomWhiteGaza tells @AJEnglish fuel keeping hospital ICU units + aid operations going is about to run out ⬇️
After all this, may have been the smartest play to sit back, let the pressure to get this resolved build and swoop in at the end as a savior, a la Paul Ryan.
Watch: Kevin Chen opens his concert at @carnegiehall with Hatikva, Israel’s anthem, paying tribute to the Israeli victims murdered and those who are being held hostage by Hamas.
Thank you.
👋🏻 Jew on the Hill here. While young Israelis bravely heed the call to protect their homeland and their people, 400 cowardly staffers refuse to put their names to a letter knowing that one side of this conflict will not stop until the complete annihilation of the other. Shameful
More than two dozen rabbis, leaders in NY’s 16th District signed a letter to George Latimer, Westchester’s popular county executive, urging him to run against Rep. Jamaal Bowman next year.
They claim the incumbent “doubled down on his anti-Israel policy positions and messaging.”
Happening now: a huge group of lawmakers including McCarthy and all of Dem leadership gathering on the House steps for a vigil honoring those killed in Israel and the hostages. A tearful Debbie Wasserman Schultz thanks so many colleagues for coming together on short notice.
Appalling. This is erasure of innocent, murdered Israelis, and the genocide against Jews for millennia. Critique of Israel’s ruling coalition policies is fair game, but this attempt to ignore atrocities against Jews, days ago and historically, will let history repeat itself.
In a statement to JI, Westchester County Executive George Latimer, who is weighing a primary challenge to Rep. Jamaal Bowman, accuses the pro-Palestinian rally held in Times Square on Sunday and sponsored by the DSA’s NYC chapter of “giving aid and comfort to murderers.”
The White House is lit up blue and white tonight as a symbol of the United States’ enduring support and solidarity with the people of Israel in the wake of the horrific terrorist attacks committed by Hamas.
I was standing there as we sang this prayer, as well as others for peace and Israel’s national anthem. American and Israel stand together, now and forever. 🇺🇸🇮🇱
Israel is at war.
We didn’t want this war.
It was forced upon us in the most brutal and savage way.
But though Israel didn’t start this war, Israel will finish it.
Once, the Jewish people were stateless.
Once, the Jewish people were defenseless.
No longer.
Hamas will understand that by attacking us, they have made a mistake of historic proportions. We will exact a price that will be remembered by them and Israel’s other enemies for decades to come.
The savage attacks that Hamas perpetrated against innocent Israelis are mindboggling: slaughtering families in their homes, massacring hundreds of young people at an outdoor festival, kidnapping scores of women, children and elderly, even Holocaust survivors.
Hamas terrorists bound, burned and executed children.
They are savages.
Hamas is ISIS.
And just as the forces of civilization united to defeat ISIS, the forces of civilization must support Israel in defeating Hamas.
I want to thank President Biden for his unequivocal support.
I want to thank leaders across the world who are standing with Israel today.
I want to thank the people and Congress of the United States of America.
In fighting Hamas, Israel is not only fighting for its own people.
It is fighting for every country that stands against barbarism.
Israel will win this war, and when Israel wins, the entire civilized world wins.
The special relationship between the United States and Israel is ironclad and unbreakable.
We will do everything necessary to support Israel’s effort to defeat the Hamas terrorists and their barbarity.
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇱
Your Jewish friends are not doing ok right now. Even the ones who have spent years steeped in the conflict and who have been fighting for peace & human rights for all.
The epigenetic trauma of seeing Jews pulled from their homes, kidnapped, & killed — it’s real. 1/
.@RepJoshG statement to me on Tlaib and Bush comments: “It sickens me that while Israelis clean the blood of their family members shot in their homes, they believe Congress should strip U.S. funding to our democratic ally and allow innocent civilians to suffer.”
