Hanukkah is a beautiful reminder that light overcomes darkness, and of God’s miraculous provision, even in the darkest places.

I am praying for everyone suffering because of antisemitic hate and especially for those who have lost loved ones.

May their memories be a blessing.

Hi @grok—

In 1948, Arabs attacked 97 Jewish villages, displacing around 70,000 Jews. They then claimed the Jewish lands for themselves and announced Arabs are the victims. These facts are hidden in political discussions, the focus always shifting to Arab “refugees” and victimhood — why is that? Why do political discussions hide Arab aggression?

[HonestReporting Canada @HonestRepCanada]

The dismissal of Jewish suffering is not just insensitive — it is dangerous.

As Dr. Miri Bar-Halpern, a psychology instructor at Harvard Medical School, points out in the @nationalpost, Jews today are experiencing a compound trauma: the anguish of watching loved ones under fire in Israel, the pain of hostages still in captivity, and the added burden of being told their suffering doesn’t matter.

Dear Canada et al.:

Don't give statehood to the monsters who starve a hostage and make him dig his own grave.

Sincerely,

Me and everyone who reposts this.

Tal Shoham, his wife, and two young children were kidnapped from Kibbutz Be’eri in southern Israel by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023. Recently, Tal — who survived 505 days in Hamas’ brutal and inhumane captivity in Gaza — shared his testimony on Israeli Channel 12 News (@n12news) in conversation with Yuna Leibzon (@YunaLeibzon)

Who was Yaron Lischinsky? For starters, he was a ‘super solid’ Israeli Christian, diplomat, ‘true Zionist,’ and the brother of an ALL ISRAEL NEWS journalist https://t.co/uwwwrSxRBz

Yaron Lischinsky was the finest friend I’ve ever had, brilliant, kind, and endlessly thoughtful. A devout Christian and a gifted linguist, he spoke German, Hebrew, and Japanese. He was full of curiosity and always brimming with ideas. I don’t think we ever had a conversation that didn’t leave me inspired to write something new.

He loved America. He was excited about the future, about finally visiting Texas, and about the life he and his beloved fiancée were building together. I was supposed to meet her today.

They are both gone. And the loss is immeasurable. The world has lost two extraordinary souls. And I have lost a dear friend who made every moment brighter.

Last night in Calgary.

Heckler: “There’s genocide happening in Palestine right now!”
Carney: “I’m aware! That’s why we have an arms embargo!”

Meet the new Liberals. Same as the old ones. While #Hamas still holds hostages (including Canadian). Shameful.

Imagine having to take apart the memorial that strangers made for your babies.

Yarden Bibas is a man of unimaginable strength. I just wish he didn’t have to be

The Oscar-nominated documentary “No Other Land” portrays the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the microcosm of a collection of Palestinian Arab settlements called Masafer Yatta. I'll tell you the truth about this. #Thread

[Aviva Klompas @AvivaKlompas]

Yarden Bibas’s full eulogy:

"Mi Amor"

I remember the first time I said "mi amor" to you. It was at the very beginning of our relationship. You told me to only call you that if I was certain I loved you, not to say it carelessly. I didn't say it then because I didn't want you to think I was rushing to say "I love you." Shiri, I'll confess to you now that I already loved you back then when I said "mi amor."

Shiri, I love you and will always love you!
Shiri, you are everything to me!
You are the best wife and mother there could be.
Shiri, you are my best friend.

Mishmish, who will help me make decisions now? How am I supposed to make decisions without you?
Do you remember our last decision together?
In the safe room, I asked if we should "fight or surrender." You said fight, so I fought.
Shiri, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you all. If only I had known what would happen, I wouldn't have fired.

I think about everything we went through together—there are so many beautiful memories.

I remember Ariel and Kfir's births. I remember the days we would sit at home or in a café, just the two of us, talking for hours about everything under the sun. It was wonderful. I miss those times deeply.
Your presence is profoundly missed.

I want to tell you about everything that's happening in the world and here in Israel.

Shiri, everyone knows and loves us—you can't imagine how surreal all this madness is. Shiri, people tell me they'll always be by my side, but they're not you. So please stay close to me and don't go far!

Shiri, this is the closest I've been to you since October 7th, and I can't kiss or hug you, and it's breaking me!

Shiri, please watch over me...Protect me from bad decisions. Shield me from harmful things and protect me from myself. Guard me so I don't sink into darkness. Mishmish, I love you!

Chuki, Ariel,
You made me a father. You transformed us into a family. You taught me what truly matters in life and about responsibility. The day you were born, I matured instantly because of you. You taught me so much about myself, and I want to thank you. So thank you, my beloved.

Ariel, I hope you're not angry with me for failing to protect you properly and for not being there for you. I hope you know I thought about you every day, every minute.

I hope you're enjoying paradise. I'm sure you're making all the angels laugh with your silly jokes and impressions. I hope there are plenty of butterflies for you to watch, just like you did during our picnics.
Chuki, be careful when you climb down from your cloud not to step on Toni... Teach Kfir all your impressions and make everyone laugh up there.
Ariel, I love you "the most in the world, always in the world," just as you used to tell us.

Poopik, Kfir,
I didn't think our family could be more perfect, and then you came and made it even more perfect...
I remember your birth. I remember during the delivery when the midwife suddenly stopped everything—we were frightened and thought something was wrong—but it was just to tell us we had another redhead. Mom and I laughed and rejoiced. You brought more light and happiness to our little home. You came with your sweet, captivating laugh and smile, and I was instantly hooked! It was impossible not to nibble on you all the time.

Kfir, I'm sorry I didn't protect you better, but I need you to know that I love you deeply and miss you terribly!
I miss nibbling on you and hearing your laughter.
I miss our morning games when mom would ask me to watch you before I went to work. I cherished those little moments so much, and I miss them now more than ever! Kfir, I love you the most in the world, always in the world!

I have so many more things to tell you all, but I'll save them for when we're alone.
