Many Jewish friends have asked why I choose to be outspoken even at the risk of physical safety, losing friendships, etc….So maybe now is a good time to explain.
During my first visit to Yad Vashem in 2021, I passed by a wall with fifteen male faces on it. Our tour guide stopped, staring at the men for a moment, before explaining that these faces belonged to the individuals who participated in the Wannsee Conference.
"These men," He explained, "considered the backbone of the Reich, convened to discuss the implementation of the Final Solution. The meeting lasted 90 minutes. We possess comprehensive records detailing their names, rankings, and what each person said during the conference because we have the official meeting transcript..."
"One man in particular was present at the conference. He's documented in the meeting notes as an attendee, but there's no mention of him in the transcript, indicating he didn't contribute verbally. He didn't say anything. Now, years later, we're left to speculate whether his silence stemmed from hesitance to voice dissent or if he merely agreed with the Nazi ideology and had nothing to add."
With a sweep of his hand toward the lineup of men depicted on the wall, the tour guide concluded, "We'll never truly know whether his failure to speak was due to fear or agreement."
I knew in that moment that I never wanted to be that person- the type of person that my kids and grandkids would look back at my life and wonder what I stood for.
I visited Kfar Aza multiple times before 10/7. I visited it after. There are some things you can’t unsee.
I have friends in the IDF, who put their lives on the line for their country- and what kind of person would I be if I didn’t fight for them here, in whatever way I can?
My parents taught me that it doesn’t matter if you’re the only one of the room who speaks out. If you see something wrong, you call it out- no matter the consequences.
But the reality is, whatever I’ve “lost” for standing with Israel- I’ve gained within the Jewish community tenfold. The love, the community, the compassion. In ways that my other friends cannot understand, the Jewish community has seen my pain and not only validated it, but amplified my voice and stood with me. The resilience and the strength I have are in large part thanks to them. And for that I truly am eternally thankful. More than you’ll ever know. 🤍
10 days in Tel Aviv and I am now used to the sounds of sirens because of Lebanon, Yemen, and Gaza’s attempts to kill Israelis.
Israel is *constantly* under terrorist attacks from these states, but the media keeps portraying Israel as the perpetrator.
Good morning.
No matter how you feel about Israel, you need to see this. The @un is clearly collaborating with Hezbollah. You’re an idiot if you think otherwise.
They have had control of this area for almost 20 years.
If you’re serious about peace, the UN must be reformed to deal with their extreme antisemitism problem. The US is the only nation with the power to pressure them.
I am excited to announce that I had my first Free Palestine protest come to a Nas Daily meetup.
I told them I agreed with them. I also want a Free Palestine from Hamas. Free Palestine from terrorism. Free Palestine from radical religion.
They disagreed. They just wanted a Free Palestine from Jews.
Oh well.
Absolutely nothing except fanatical brainwashing from genocidal jihadists will drive you to slaughter children while their parents watch.
@elicalebon absolutely crushes it here.
DISGUSTING: UPenn will hold a course teaching students critical theory about terrorism. In the course on “resistance” they will engage with texts written by PFLP terrorists.
American students are being taught how to be the terrorist of tomorrow.
JD Vance wore a hostage tag at the October 7th memorial today.
He said he’d like to stop saying “bring them home” as it implies Israel must act - and wants to begin saying “LET THEM GO”
Nasrallah was *my* terrorist.
Each one of us grows up watching a terrorist on TV threatening to kill us.
For many Americans, it was Osama Bin Laden.
For me, it was Nasrallah.
I grew up in Northern Israel.
Every few years, Nasrallah would target us with a barrage of rockets. His rockets would be directed at nearby Jewish towns, but of course they miss and fall in Muslim towns in Israel. My town was one of them.
Imagine the irony.
US college students can not understand this.
*My* terrorist is dead today. It's great news not just for me, but for many Syrians, Lebanese, Saudis, and..Israelis.
I am naively optimistic.
But I hope today sends a signal to people in the Middle East that moderation, acceptance of reality and coexistence is the only way.
Terrorism way will always end up in failure. Always.
Even if it takes 32 years to arrive.
You dared to strike at a smart and courageous nation on October 7th—committing genocide, kidnapping their children, and violating their women. You thought they would fall, but they rose again, returning after 11 months to correct what had only momentarily slipped—their intelligence. Now, they will send you back 1,000 years, to a time without technology, where a ringtone feels like a death knell and a beep is a nightmare. You will be haunted by your own shadow, too afraid to use any technology, cut off from the advanced world. And they will defeat you—not with bullets or tanks, but through the unbreakable will of brave, intelligent people. Over a simple cup of coffee, with one decisive click, they will seal your fate, and the fate of anyone who dares harm their children. This is a nation the world respects. Lebanon—#Hezbollah's pager attacks and today's V82 strike are not merely military victories; they represent a triumph for the Middle East over radicalism—a victory not only for #Israel but for all who stand against terror.
