This is the moment the elite Yamam unit rescued former hostages Shlomi Ziv, Almog Meir Jan and Andrey Kozlov from captivity in Gaza.
Real life superheroes.
CNN's @JakeTapper: "Egypt, Jordan, I mean, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, all these countries that prepare--that talk about how much they care about the Palestinians, they could help right now. They could help the Palestinians escape. They could say okay, stop bombing and we will go in there and we will help Gaza, like, become a thriving society. They could do all sorts of things. They have money, by the way. Where are they?"
His 8 year old daughter was murdered by Hamas.
“When we found out that Emily was dead we went yes and smiled, because that is the best news of the possibilities I knew. “

We said ‘never again.’ The UK was a safe haven. Now, after the biggest massacre of Jews since the holocaust, British Jewish children are being advised to hide their identities as they walk to school, for their own safety. There should be mass outrage that this is necessary.
If you don't live in Israel or consume Israeli media, you don't know who Yair Golan is. He is a 61-year-old retired Major General in the Israel army and a former parliament MP. Spend a minute to read this story.
Yesterday, when IDF and the police were in complete chaos, Golan put on his old uniform, took his weapon, and drove into the war zone multiple times to rescue civilians under fire. He rescued two young adults hiding under a bush after 260 of their friends were murdered at an outdoor party. He answered a call from a journalist that his son was hiding under fire and simply said, "Give me his location, and I will bring him back home." An hour later, the son called his father from Golan's car.
Golan collected a small crew and went in and out of the war zone, rescuing dozens of people while exchanging fire with Hamas terrorists. He is 61, he could have stayed home, but he chose to risk his life for people he does not know.
Golan is one of the strongest voices from the Israeli left and was constantly attacked by the right wing in Israel. But when the time came, he was first fighting the barbaric attack. The same brain wiring that supports peace, is often the same wiring that drives people to do the right thing.
A true hero.
Supporting the raping of Israeli girls, desecration of their bodies, kidnapping babies & elderly women from their beds, beheading civilians and burning down homes with families inside, is the opposite of advocating for human rights.
Just so we’re clear.
There are people out in the world doing amazing, inspiring things. Climbing big mountains and winning races, yes. And also couples staying together through think and thin. Single parents raising their kids. People conquering fear by being themselves. All kinds of strong. 💪
To be clear, I’m not against cold plunges.
I’m against this new wave of “optimization” science makes people feel like they are not enough—which is especially problematic because the so-called “science” is mostly just hype.
