@simonmontefiore That test was proven when the world did nothing for the Yazidi people in 2014, left them in refugee camps for over a decade and invested nothing in helping them rebuild. Yet 'Palestine' was given billions and still is.
That tells you everything you need to know.
They hang innocent teenagers from cranes here.
Iran despotate continues massacre of 42000 that started in Jan.
The reaction to this - in UN in NGOs in our discourse - is one of the moral tests of our time

The anti-Israel narrative begins with the verdict and works backward.
If Israel responds, it proves aggression. If Israel shows restraint, it proves calculation. If Israelis are murdered, context is required. If Palestinians are killed, context becomes immoral.
The conclusion comes first. Evidence is hired afterward.
A statement from Bell Bird Books explaining their cancellation of “White Bonde Jew” book launch.
When Bell Bird books initially announced the launch, they received pushback from people who don’t believe Jews have a right to have their voice heard or even a right for Israel to exist. All of us who have been active in this space have experienced exactly this. It’s the price you pay for speaking up for the Jewish people, for Israel, for Western Civilization, and for fighting antisemitism. It comes with the territory. If we allow haters to continually silence Jewish voices, then they win. Yes, there is definitely a cost - financially, socially, relationally. But one bears that burden because of all those who have come before us - the Holocaust victims in WWll, the victims of the World Trade Center attack; the slaughtered Christians in Nigeria; the innocents murdered on October 7th; for the Bibas family, for Hersch Goldberg Polin, for those who survived but who have ended their lives because of unbearable pain inflicted upon them; for all those young Israelis who are currently giving their lives to protect not only their own country but our way of life in the West. We do it for them, and for the future good of the world. It requires a foundational commitment to truth that will not be comprised, that will not back down. That is the only way. That is the Nashville way. https://t.co/OBJ37yPIap
Dr. Zechariah Haber, Israeli Scientist Killed in Gaza, Leaves Behind Breakthrough That Will Help Feed Millions
Dr. Zechariah Haber ז”ל was a husband, father of three, IDF reservist, and brilliant scientist whose final discovery will help transform global agriculture.
While pursuing his Ph.D. at Tel Aviv University, Haber identified the gene responsible for controlling wheat seed size. Building on his work, researchers discovered that modifying this gene produces larger, heavier wheat grains with significantly higher levels of protein, essential amino acids, iron and zinc. Scientists believe the breakthrough could lead to more nutritious, drought-resistant wheat capable of feeding millions as climate change and population growth place increasing pressure on the world’s food supply.
Zechariah made aliyah from the United States with his family at the age of 8 and developed a deep love for Israel. Known by those closest to him as exceptionally gifted, his endless curiosity led him to dedicate his life to advancing agricultural science while remaining deeply devoted to his family, Torah, and the Land of Israel.
On October 7, although sick with a virus, he packed his gear and immediately rushed to his unit. His wife, Talia, later learned that his tank unit was among the very first to respond after the Hamas massacre.
Recalling their final months together, Talia said: “When he would come home from fighting, he was happy. We would throw the kids in the air, and we continued to live and play. Every time he came home, we would run around and travel the country together. We miss it so much.”
Called up for reserve duty on October 8, 2023, Zechariah served courageously in Gaza until he was killed in action on January 16, 2024.
On June 9, 2024, Tel Aviv University posthumously awarded him a Ph.D., ensuring his groundbreaking research would live on.
Dr. Haber is survived by his wife, Talia, and their three young children, the youngest just 3 years old.
Some leave behind memories.
Dr. Zechariah Haber left behind a discovery that will one day help feed millions. AM YISRAEL CHAI! 🇮🇱🌾

Remember last week when we discovered Spain had a colony in Africa? Yeah me too, that was fun. Turns out they have 7. The UK has 14, France has 13, the Netherlands has 6, and Denmark has two including Greenland. Yet a tiny nation of Jews living in their ancestral homeland with absolutely zero overseas holdings, let alone in Africa, are the colonizers? Mom was right, the biggest hypocrites really do scream the loudest.
Honest question, Minister @EvanLSolomon: why does an intelligent, good guy like you, with a background in communications, repeat the absurd cliché that “antisemitism has no place… anywhere in Canada?”
The opposite is obviously true.
By every metric, antisemitism has a large and growing place in Canada.
So can we please just drop that ridiculous bromide and start to confront the painful reality that we, as a society, have allowed history’s oldest and most pernicious hatred to metastasize in Canada?
Of course this is not reducible to a partisan question, but surely some responsibility for the sickening growth in antisemitism falls to the national government that has been in office for over a decade.
The government that, as a matter of policy, dropped the Harper government’s formal acknowledgement of the the uniquely pernicious and durable nature of antisemitism?
The government that has funded vile antisemites through parodic “anti racism” programs.
The government that rewarded the perpetrators of the deadliest pogrom of Jews since the Shoah with recognition of a non existant Palestinian “state.”
The government that restored and increased funding to one of the greatest sources of violent antisemitism: UNWRA, which poisons the minds of Palestinian children with Jew hatred.
A government that has done nothing to address the problem of rampant antisemitism in many of Canada’s universities, where scapegoating Israel as the “collective Jew” (to quote Irwin Cotler) has become commonplace.
And a government whose naive approach to multiculturalism, immigration, and integration is willfully blind to the sad but undeniable reality that antisemitism is deeply embedded in certain cultures.
To all of those in office: enough with the cliches every time there is a new outrage targeting the Jewish community.
Real leadership is required, which means risking and spending political capital.
A Ukrainian suicide drone struck a crowded beach in Russia, killing 4 and wounding 13.
I will NOT criticize Ukraine and I’ll say so openly. This is a war they did not start and though those killed in this strike are civilians, that is an unfortunate consequence of war.
But it’s interesting from a hypocrisy and standards point of view how not a single European government says anything. But the moment Israel strikes actual terrorists, condemnations ring all over.
היום אנו מציינים את הטבח שבוצע בשנת 1929 בו נרצחו 67 יהודים בחברון בידי שכניהם הערבים, אירוע שקטע מאות שנים של חיים יהודיים רצופים בעיר.
השנאה שהובילה לטבח לא נעלמה מאז. היא ממשיכה להניע טרור נגד ישראלים עד היום.
נזכור את קורבנות חברון ונמשיך לעמוד על זכותו של העם היהודי לחיות בביטחון בארצו.
“But slowly, I understood that even when you return home, not everything returns with you."
Evyatar David, who was starved and forced to dig his own grave while held in Hamas captivity for 738 days has created a fundraiser.
After enduring such horrific abuse, Evyatar has found that returning to normal life is harder than expected. Once an average man, Evyatar now experiences extreme PTSD flashbacks and is struggling.
“I am not writing so people will pity me,. I am writing because I want to win this battle too.” he wrote.
Supporting these survivors, after everything they’ve been through, is the least we can do.
