Funny how an entire planeload of supposedly genocidal war criminal Israelis, who'd detained a literal terrorist that tried to kill them, didn't beat him to death with their bare hands.
Instead they gave him first aid and handed him to authorities.
That is the difference between a civilised society and a barbarian one next door.
Funny how @KingAbdullahII failed to mention how Jordan illegally occupied the West Bank from 1948-1967, formally annexed it in 1950, and ethnically cleansed the territory of Jews in the Old City of Jerusalem. In all that time, they never created a Palestinian state. Then, in 1988, King Hussein, his father, stripped West Bank Palestinian residents of Jordanian citizenship overnight, another illegal move.
Now King Abdullah comes to the UN lectures about “de facto annexation” and international law?
King Abdullah doesn’t want you to know that that reason they didn’t declare a Palestinian state (and the reason Egypt didn’t either when they controlled Gaza), is because there was never a national identity known as “Palestinian” in the Arab world. This concept only developed with the PLO and Yasser Arafat in the 1960s.

Every time another synagogue is attacked, I have to update this list. It never gets easier.
"Do you, as a lead actor in Hollywood, understand that when Israel allows every day 600 trucks of food and supply to go into Gaza, they are not intending or planning to kill the people of Palestine?"
Fauda producer Avi Issacharoff has criticized Mark Ruffalo for his comments on Israel and Palestine, calling the actor a combination of ignorant and stupid.
Ruffalo became a popular topic of controversy after he somehow made the Warner Bros/Paramount merger into an issue about Israel, for which he received support from Jews like Hannah Einbinder.
Now others like Issacharoff are chiming in to say Ruffalo doesn't speak for all Jews.
The Free Palestine movement is (once again) upset.
This time, it is because Adidas launched a new "single-shoe" campaign for people living with amputations, featuring an Israeli.
One person they collaborated with was Shalev Biton, a former IDF soldier who lost a leg while fighting Hamas in 2021.
Shalev's story is one of resilience, and I am grateful that Adidas would highlight that. 🇮🇱
@NickKristof Sure, the Red Cross did such a great job visiting the Israeli hostages being held in the Hamas terror tunnels for over 2 years so why not?
Very nearly everyone wants Gaza rebuilt. The money is there, the will is there. Yes, even the Israeli government. But Hamas isn't willing. It'll never be willing. It has one plan and one strategy: Death and destruction for all time, for Palestinians as much as Israelis, until the destruction of Israel is achieved.
It's God's will, you see. God, according to Hamas, wants eternal war, because war alone can bring the redemption.
There's nothing anyone can do for Gaza that Hamas won't undo. I know that seems like a strange little quip, and hard to trust coming from an Israeli. I also know that we're going to test the point a hundred times, or maybe a thousand. But everyone will eventually learn, mostly by trying and failing again and again, that there's literally nothing any of you can do for Gaza that Hamas won't undo.
Go ahead and try. Gazans need the help and support. And when it all crumbles into dust again and again, come back to this space for the only conversation that matters, the only conversation that will actually build a better future for Gazans, and for Palestinians generally.
I'll be here. We'll all still be here.
Get this: In coordination with Gulf governments, Israel Air Force is taking out Iranian missile launchers aimed at Gulf countries.
Let it sink in: Israel is defending Arab countries against Islamist Iran regime.
“Stop killing kids:” the three words uttered exclusively from the people who never minded kids being killed by the wrong oppressor.
I was on one tonight on @seanhannity
Holy shit. Wow.
This is HANDS DOWN the best take I’ve heard.
If there is one video you listen to today it’s this one.
Every single word of this and it’s a huge “f*ck you” to @antonioguterres for propping up the barbaric terrorist Islamic Regime in Iran.
Must be shared everywhere in my opinion.
Unfortunately I have no idea who this young British woman is to credit her, if you know who it is feel free to tag below.
One of the most harrowing recordings from October 7th is of a nine-year-old girl on Kibbutz Be'eri.
A police dispatcher listened as she pleaded with Hamas men who had captured her, telling them she was just a child and that she had school to attend the next day.
The operator begged, but the terrorist shot the child and burned her remains, which were later recovered.
The pure evil that Hamas wrought that day will never be forgotten.
Neither will the memories of the 93 children were murdered, injured, or kidnapped on October 7th.
May their memories forever be a blessing 💔
Ran Gvili, the last hostage, is brought home after 843 days 💔
First to enter. Last to return.
Staff Sergeant Ran (Rani) Gvili from Meitar was a YASSAM Negev fighter in the Southern District of the Israel Police. Ran took great pride in being a police officer and wearing the blue uniform.
On the morning of October 7th, Ran was at home recovering from a motorcycle accident and suffering from a fractured shoulder. Upon learning of the terrorist infiltration, he immediately put on his uniform and went out to assist his fellow unit members in the fighting. On his way, he encountered terrorists and fought with courage and determination on the front line at the entrance to Kibbutz Alumim. Members of the kibbutz community later gave him the name “Ran, the Defender of Alumim.”
After several months, assessments concluded that following a fierce battle, and only after his ammunition had run out, Ran fell in combat and was abducted to Gaza.
Ran, with his broad shoulders and radiant smile, was all heart. A true friend, loved by everyone. He loved life, was a young man of deep values, always spoke at eye level, and carried a powerful yet calm presence. At 24 years old at the time of his death, Ran is survived by his parents, Talik and Itzik, his brother Omri, his sister Shira, and an extended family.
Ran Gvili was the last hostage 🎗️
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum bows its head in sorrow and shares in the profound grief of the Gvili family.
There are no words to express the depth of this pain.
