“Ariel and Kfir Bibas were murdered by terrorists in cold blood.

The terrorists did not shoot the two young boys—they killed them with their bare hands.

Afterwards, they committed horrific acts to cover up these atrocities.”

There are no words left in the dictionary.

[Israel Defense Forces @IDF]

Kfir and Ariel were kidnapped alive with their mother yet returned in coffins and alone.

Hamas murdered these innocent babies in captivity. We’re heartbroken and outraged—as the world should be.

[COGAT @cogatonline]

Israel is surging aid into Gaza, with over 1200 trucks entering in 3 days (avg 400/day).
Right now, 500 trucks worth lying on the Gaza side of KS waiting to be picked up by UN agencies.
@UN, Do your job, focus on distribution, and stop blaming Israel for your colossal failures.

Her name is Yahel Shoham and she’s 3 years old. She was just released after 50 days in Hamas captivity in Gaza.
What kind of monsters would violently kidnap a 3 year old?!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

The vile show of antisemitism at Hillcrest High School was motivated by ignorance-fueled hatred, plain and simple, and it will not be tolerated in any of our schools, let alone anywhere else in our city.

We are better than this.

[Luai Ahmed @JustLuai]

”When Hamas attacked Israel, people went out to celebrate. When Israel started attacking Gaza, the entire Arab and Muslim communities went out on the streets everywhere to say "We need a ceasefire." I immediately thought, ”Why do you care about Arabs getting killed now? When you were completely silent and did not say a single word when hundreds of thousands of Yemenis were getting killed?"
The main reason is the perpetrators being Jewish. Because in the Arab and Muslim world, there is absolutely nothing more disgusting than to be Jewish or homosexual. The only thing I ever learned about Jews and Israelis is to hate them.
In mosques, I heard that Jews and Israelis need to be murdered. This is the consensus recitation by the Imams. We normalize the language of hatred and violence towards Jews and Israelis. I remember as a child questioning this and thinking to myself, ”But why?”
So, I wanted to come here and listen to the Jews and the people. It is such a beautiful country, and the people are so kind and loving.
As I see it, the reason for this Arabic hypocrisy of silence when Arabs are killed by other Arabs, and loud revolutions when Gaza is attacked, is anti-semitism.
A hatred towards Jews that we learn since birth.
Blame the Jews. Blame the others – and direct your anger and resentment towards the Jews and the Westerners, instead of looking internally and trying to better yourselves."

In this moment of heartbreak, the American people stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Israelis.

[Israel ישראל @Israel]

Same tactics, different names.

The world defeated ISIS.

We will defeat Hamas.

Personal Thoughts:
(not for everyone, feel free to skip)

For the longest time, I struggled with my identity.

A Palestinian kid born inside Israel. Like…wtf.

Many of my friends refuse to this day to say the word “Israel” and call themselves “Palestinian” only.

But since I was 12, that did not make sense to me.

So I decided to mix the two and become a “Palestinian-Israeli”

I thought this term reflected who I was.
Palestinian first. Israeli second.

But after recent events, I started to think.
And think.
And think.
And then my thoughts turned to anger.

I realized that if Israel were to be “invaded” like that again, we would not be safe. To a terrorist invading Israel, all citizens are targets.

900 Israelis died so far. More than 40 of them are Arabs. Killed by other Arabs. And even 2 Thai people died too.

And I do not want to live under a Palestinian government.

Which means I only have one home, even if I’m not Jewish:

Israel.

That’s where all my family lives. That’s where I grew up. That’s the country I want to see continue to exist so I can exist.

Palestine should exist too as an independent state. And I hope to see the country thrive and become less extreme and more prosperous. I love Palestine and have invested in Palestine.

But it’s not my home.

So from today forward,
I view myself as an “Israeli-Palestinian”.

Israeli first.
Palestinian second.

Sometimes it takes a shock like this to see so clearly.
