Resharing this article for Tisha B'Av because both are about Jewish identity and the holiest place on earth for the Jewish People.

Dirty Little Secret time...
Remember that community in the Shomron that was burned down over Shabbat?
The IDF has two people of interest in custody today.
What's the secret?
You'll never hear this from @JNS_org or @Jerusalem_Post or @haaretzcom but the two suspects are Palestinian Authority police officers.
W H A T ???
Yeah, there's a longer story about how one of their family members was able to escape PA "prison" and got picked up by the IDF but the reason you won't hear that PA police officers torched 30+ homes and injured 5+ people is because these officers are Israel's "Partners in Peace" per the Oslo Agreement.
The $3.3 billion the US gives Israel is not charity, it’s a high-return investment.
Israel serves as America’s most valuable real-world military testing ground.
Israeli pilots made hundreds of critical modifications to the F-16 alone, improvements that were later incorporated into jets sold worldwide.
The global aerospace and defense industry is worth over $400 billion annually.
Every battle-tested upgrade increases the value and competitiveness of American weapons systems sold globally.
This is one of the smartest defense investments the United States makes.
A lot of people are understandably missing the point about why so many of us are upset and speaking out about Clavicular.
Within the Jewish community, there has always been an unofficial rule that we protect one another. Of course, this extends to our non-Jewish friends as well.
When I'm abroad, a Jewish community centre or synagogue represents a place of safety. When I walk around Tel Aviv, I rarely have to worry about my safety as a woman because I live in a country where I don't have to fear being jumped or attacked. In the rare instance that something does happen, I know there would be ten Israeli men running to help me within seconds.
Especially in a post–October 7 world, after the vile and traumatic sexual violence and gang rape that Jewish women were subjected to, I assumed there was an instinct to protect and safeguard Jewish women.
I never imagined that men I know or associate with would lure another Jewish woman to meet a predator. That they would encourage, or even pimp out, Jewish women to a man who is currently facing sexual assault charges, for the sake of parties and social media views.
This goes beyond "strategy," "unity," or whether you believe it is effective to engage with a controversial figure.
I thought we had an unofficial rule to protect one another from this.
It seems I was wrong.
Where ignorance grows, lies spread, and that is the fertile ground for hate. Jews who don’t pray lack the basic knowledge that makes it easy to refute the lie that Zionism is a modern invention.

🚨 CHARTS SHOW 20 YEARS OF BDS FAILURE
The BDS movement is commemorating 20 years since its inception. Lets take a close look at their self-proclaimed 'success'.
BDS was launched in 2005 with one central goal: ✔️Isolate Israel
✔️Strangle its economy
✔️Turn the Jewish state into a global pariah.
📊 Look at the chart
BUT since 2005, Israel’s economy has surged from roughly $142 billion to more than $600 billion.
❌BDS did not break Israel.
❌BDS did not isolate Israel.
❌BDS did not stop Israel’s growth.
It failed
But here is the part they do not want to talk about:
While Israel grew, the Palestinian economy remained tiny, weak, and dependent, despite receiving tens of billions of dollars in foreign aid over the same period.
That money could have built schools, hospitals, businesses, infrastructure, industry, jobs, and a future.
Instead, the Palestinian leadership built a system of dependency, corruption, incitement, and terror rewards.
$6,000,000,000 (That's with a B) of those funds has gone into what they call the “Martyrs Fund”, what the rest of us call "Pay for Slay": salaries and benefits for terrorists and their families after Jews are murdered, stabbed, shot, or blown up.
So spare us the lie that BDS is about helping Palestinians.
❌It was never about building a Palestinian economy.
❌It was never about creating prosperity.
❌It was never about peace.
It was about destruction.
❌ They tried to destroy Israel’s economy. They failed.
❌ They tried to justify and reward the murder of Jews. They failed.
❌ They tried to weaken the Jewish state. They failed.
🇮🇱 Twenty years later, Israel is larger, stronger, richer, and still standing. BDS promised to break Israel, but is it unable.
Should we encourage BDS to continue their work? It seems to benefit Israel :)
Mr. President,
The pager operation against Hezbollah was a masterpiece of modern warfare. Israel also executed a brilliant 12-day operation against Iran that left the regime in shock, its top generals assassinated, and the Ayatollahs held by the throat.
Yet every time Israel had momentum, whether in Gaza, Lebanon, or against Iran, you personally intervened and stopped them at the worst possible moment.
you were personally briefed by Mossad that defeating Iran would take at least a year of consistent pressure. Yet you pushed for quick results, changed the original plan, and turned what could have been a strategic victory into a strategic defeat.
Now, after signing a humiliating deal that buried the Iranian nuclear threat instead of eliminating it, you come out blaming Israel for taking too long and for how it fights.
The question of civilian casualties should be addressed to Hezbollah, not Israel. Hezbollah deliberately operates from within populated civilian areas, using civilians as human shields and endangering their own people.
This strategic failure is not due to Israeli incompetence. The main problem has been your repeated intervention and bad timing.
You don’t get to sabotage the campaign and then blame Israel for the results.
Just this one incident is unforgivable and just cause for everything that happened afterward
And this is just one case. There were hundreds of cases of torture, burning, mutilation and rape - and sometimes all of them together.
#NEVERAGAIN
This is heavy but important.
An Israeli combat medic named Daniel Elbo Arama shares what he saw treating a young woman right after the October 7 attacks.
She was barely clothed, covered in blood, and begged him for help.
In the ambulance she told him she had been raped by four terrorists. The bleeding was so bad they had to use medications normally given for gunshot wounds. She needed hours of surgery afterward.
Daniel has worked in emergency response for twenty years, including in conflict zones, but he says this day will stay with him forever.
Raw testimony like this shows exactly what happened that day.
We can’t forget.
The amount of hate I am getting on my content has recently increased exponentially. Forcing myself to think about it rather than only responding emotionally changed everything.

The Psyops of Palestine https://t.co/FNynGL0RuK via @frIsrael The psyops of Palestine are effective only so long as the illusion goes unchallenged. The truth is simple. The emperor has no clothes. We are Zion, home to stay.
Today is the eve of Shavout, the holiday that marks the most important event in Western history.
And yet most non-Jews have no idea what this holiday is.
And many non-religious Jews don't pay much attention to this holiday.

The psyops of Palestine are effective only so long as the illusion goes unchallenged. Once you recognise the mechanism - the repetition, the symbols, the manufactured familiarity - the illusion bursts👇
