This brave man gave his life to rescue the hostages today

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

Watching every Israeli TV station right now, all the broadcasters are choking back tears as footage streams in of families reunited. Never has a country needed good news this badly. Our caring for each other is beyond anything the rest of the world will ever understand.

120 more to go.

We don’t rest until every last hostage is home.

[Israel ישראל @Israel]

This is the reason we are fighting this war.

Welcome home Noa, Shlomi, Almog and Andrey.

[Jonathan Schanzer @JSchanzer]

I keep coming back to one detail from the news this morning.

Hamas fired at the hostages as they were being rescued.

[Marina Medvin 🇺🇸 @MarinaMedvin]

Palestinian civilians cheered on the kidnapping of 19 year old Naama Levy— her pants stained with blood from rape, her heels sliced open to prevent her from running, her hands tied behind her back so she could not resist.

Today is her 225th day in Gaza.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

In only 10 days in Rafah, the IDF has: 

- Identified nearly 700 tunnels shafts, from which approximately 50 tunnels cross into Egypt. 
- Eliminated over 150 terrorists.
- Destroyed dozens of terrorist infrastructures, including several rocket launchers.
- Retrieved the bodies of 4 hostages.

The Rafah operation is necessary and will be so until Hamas is defeated and all the hostages are home.

I can't wrap my head around LGBTQ+ people calling Israel “a terrorist state” while praising Yemen, Palestine, and Iran, when these three countries have a death penalty for being gay, while Israel grants gays basic human rights. Peak madness.

No Jews, no news. They care about Gaza only because of their antisemitism.

[Shai Davidai @ShaiDavidai]

To all the journalists:

I promise, I will try to get back to each and every one of you.

In the meantime, I want you to consider this:

To the best of my knowledge, the last time that a professor was denied access to their own university for being Jewish was Nazi Germany.

for those anti zionists celebrating passover... you have NO right to celebrate this holiday. you should be ashamed.

[Elica Le Bon الیکا‌ ل بن @elicalebon]

Is it “ceasefire now” or “burn Tel Aviv to the ground”?
Is it “ceasefire now” or “H*mas, H*mas we love you, we support your rockets too”?
Pick one. Either you’re against war or for it, but if your assertions about “humanity” are limited to protecting innocent life on one side while actively calling for killing innocent lives on the other, then you don’t have humanity, you have an agenda with hollow, performative hashtags in your bio.

#LetThemGoNow

[Shai Davidai @ShaiDavidai]

Earlier today, @Columbia University refused to let me onto campus.

Why? Because they cannot protect my safety as a Jewish professor.

This is 1938.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

Iran fired hundreds of drones and missiles against Israel with the intent to inflict mass casualties. Iran has financed terror threats like Hezbollah, which has displaced thousands of Israelis from their homes; and Hamas, which perpetrated October 7th, the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.

Israel has a right to defend itself from both direct and indirect forms of Iranian aggression.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

There are Anti-Israel ideologues who cannot bring themselves to condemn Iran for firing hundreds of drones and missiles against Israel.

For those blinded by hate, Israel is always the villain and never the victim.

[Shai Davidai @ShaiDavidai]

I've seen and shared many disturbing videos over the past six months, but I've never seen anything like this.

These were the sights today in New York City. Not in Rafah. Not in Kabul. In New York City.

This is domestic terrorism.
