Maybe next time they will remember that using a work permit to map out Jewish communities to later invade them and slaughter, rape, and kidnap Jewish men women and children, is not a good path for economic prosperity and growth. Who would have thought?

Leave it to the New Yorker to sympathise with the people who literally kidnapped and murdered children on October 7.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

@landpalestine Literally nobody supports the killing of children. Except Hamas, obviously. What a buffoon this guy is

Significant news coming from Berlin today: a prominent street near the Reichstag will be officially renamed Yad Vashem Street, symbolizing the importance of Holocaust remembrance and sending a strong message against antisemitism.

Javier Bardem is entitled to his opinions. He is not entitled to redefine facts.

“Genocide” is a legal accusation requiring proof of intent to destroy a people. It is not established by celebrity declarations or virtue signaling.

Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization that massacred civilians, took hostages, and committed depraved acts of sexual violence.

That same terrorist organization still openly calls for Israel’s destruction.

This is a war, Javier.

Civilian deaths in war, however tragic, are not themselves proof of genocide.

And reducing this war to “genocide” while erasing Hamas’s actions and stated goals does nothing to advance human rights or peace for Palestinians.

I've been researching and writing about this subject for 40 years, so I know:

Anti-Zionism is an antisemitic hate movement.

Fact, not opinion.

Hi everyone, I've learned that my article for Rolling Stone really, really upsets the anti-Israel fanatics.

So please, don't repost my latest article for @RollingStone, unless you want them to be even angrier 😢

I always say Israel is losing the PR war, but have a read at this...…….

“I keep hearing that Israel "lost the PR war."
And you know what? Fine. Sure. Whatever.
The world thinks we're monsters. The UN passed over 30 resolutions condemning us. College campuses exploded with protests. "Genocide" trended on Twitter for 700 days straight.

We lost the PR war. Congratulations to everyone who won it.

Now let me tell you what we won instead.
Two years ago, my country was surrounded. Hezbollah had 150,000 rockets aimed at us from the north. Hamas controlled Gaza with an army in tunnels beneath it. Iran was months from a nuclear weapon. The Houthis were firing missiles at our ships. Assad's Syria was an Iranian highway. Iraqi militias were itching for war.

We called it the "ring of fire." Iran spent 40 years building it.

Billions of dollars. Endless weapons. Thousands of fighters. All of it designed for one purpose: to destroy Israel in a coordinated attack.
October 7th was supposed to be the beginning. Hamas attacks from the south, Hezbollah from the north, militias from the east, Houthis from the sea. The final war.

You know what happened instead?
Israel dismantled the entire thing. Piece by piece. Threat by threat.
Not in some distant future. Not "eventually." In two years.

Nasrallah spent 32 years building Hezbollah into the most powerful non-state military in the world. Israel killed him in his bunker and took out his entire command structure in weeks.
Hezbollah isn't weakened. It's finished.

Iran built a nuclear program for decades. Israel set it back years. Killed their top scientists. Destroyed their facilities. Made the regime so weak that its own people are revolting.

Assad survived a civil war, Russian intervention, and American strikes. He couldn't survive losing his Iranian backers. His regime collapsed. The land bridge is gone.

The Houthis thought they could close the Red Sea. Israel crippled their long-range capabilities and neutralized the threat.

Hamas? Sinwar died in rubble clutching a stick. Haniyeh was eliminated in Tehran. Deif is gone. The tunnels are destroyed. And this week, Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.

Read that again. The terrorist organization that started this war by massacring 1,200 people just agreed to release every hostage and accept a ceasefire on Israel's terms.

So yeah. We lost the PR war. I'll take that loss.
Because here's what we gained:

My kids don't have to run to bomb shelters anymore. The north is being rebuilt. Hezbollah's rockets are gone. Iran's nuclear threat has been pushed back years. The tunnels under Gaza are rubble. The "ring of fire" is extinguished.

And now? The hostages are coming home. There's a ceasefire. The fighting can finally end.
Two years ago, we were facing an existential threat. Today, we're the dominant power in the Middle East.

Here's the thing about the "PR war" - it's a luxury. It's what people with security worry about. It's optics. It's perception. It's whether someone with a blue checkmark likes you.

Israel doesn't have that luxury. We never did.
When people scream "genocide," we're preventing one. When they cry "disproportionate," we're stopping rockets. When they demand "ceasefire," we're rescuing hostages.

While the world was busy judging us, we were busy surviving.

And not just surviving. Winning. Fundamentally, decisively, historically winning.

Iran's 40-year plan to surround and destroy Israel? Over. The axis of resistance? Shattered. The greatest coordinated threat in our history? Defeated.

So let me ask you something:
Would you rather win the PR war and lose your country? Or lose the PR war and secure your existence for the next 50 years?
Because that's the actual choice.
And Israel made it. Again.
The world can have its hashtags. We'll take our sovereignty.
They can have their protests. We'll take our security.

The best.

As we breathe, almost for the first time in 738 days with the return of the hostages, stolen by Hamas, held in torture, we mourn, we grieve the loss of the hostages who did not survive Hamas’ evil.

May their families recover. May they rest in peace. May their memories be a blessing.

יהי זכרם ברוך

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA’s Commissioner-General, has admitted: there was no famine in Gaza.
Enough food for everyone — for three months.

The only real hunger is that of the hostages, waiting to return home. 🎗️

[Naftali Bennett נפתלי בנט @naftalibennett]

I’ve never shared this before.
A day or two after October 7th, early in the morning, the country was in shock.

Even before the funeral of Mapal Adam z”l, who was murdered at the Nova festival, I went to the home of her sister, Maayan.

Her mother, her brother Yarden, Maayan, and Maayan’s partner Yuval were there.
We sat in the small yard and talked.

Then Roee, Mapal’s boyfriend, arrived and sat down to tell the family for the first time what had actually happened and how Mapal had died.

I stood up to leave such an intimate moment, but the family said to me, “Stay.”

And then, for about an hour, Roee described in a trembling voice, detail by detail,

How he and Mapal hid under a car, and Hili Solomon, Mapal’s best friend, under another car nearby, all surrounded by dozens, perhaps hundreds, of terrorists.

How they stayed silent, pretending to be dead.

How the vile terrorists came and shot them “confirmation shots” at point-blank range.

How the blood flowed from their bodies, and Mapal’s life drained out of her there, as they lay pressed together.

How the monsters came back a second time and shot again, as gasoline from the car leaked and mixed with the blood.

How Roee smeared himself, and I think also Mapal, with blood so they would appear dead.

How for endless hours no one came.

I felt as though I was hearing the testimony of a Holocaust survivor, minutes after being liberated from Auschwitz.

Because that’s what it was. A small Holocaust.
No state. No army.
Jews hiding for hours from murderous beasts.

We all felt that Roee carried crushing guilt for not being able to save the love of his life, Mapal, nor her friend Hili.

Of course, Roee could not have done anything more than he did. He bore no blame whatsoever.

Mapal’s family told him that clearly and embraced him with immense love and compassion.

Since then, as I understand, Roee devoted himself to helping others however he could.

But in the early hours of this morning, two years later, Roee’s strength finally gave out,
and this man, with his wounded soul, took his own life.

Another soul murdered on that cursed day.
**
In the coming days, hopefully already tomorrow, we will celebrate the return of the hostages.

But we must not forget the murdered,
the fallen soldiers and their families,

nor the survivors who struggle every day with the horrors in their minds.

Nor the thousands wounded in body and spirit.
They live among us, and it is our duty to care for them.

This is a matter of national priority.
It is urgent!

The day after we form the government, an authority will be established to care for the victims and their families.
a moral, national, governmental obligation.

May the soul of Roee be bound in the bond of life, alongside the love of his life, Mapal.

[Melissa Lantsman @MelissaLantsman]

In the short term, this reckless decision destroys Canada’s credibility, shreds the international rules-based order, and abandons the Western values we once proudly defended.

In the long term, the consequences are obvious: Hamas is rewarded, terror is legitimized, hostage-taking is vindicated, and the violent mobs who block streets, vandalize businesses, target synagogues, and even shoot up schools are handed a victory they don’t deserve. Canada just recognized a Palestinian state whose current “government” literally pays salaries to terrorists for killing people. That makes them a state sponsor of terror by Canada’s own definition.

Canada is weaker, smaller, and more isolated from our allies. Mark Carney’s vacuous foreign policy based on “pretend conditions” is cold, calculated, and done entirely for votes.

The Prime Minister has just written a cheque to terror and all its victims —everywhere.
