I may be talking to the echo chamber but, do you understand that whenever Israel is involved in a news story, newsrooms that are not conservative media totally fumble it?
I really need you to look at this as a case study and understand if the media reported this hijacking this terribly when we know clearly what happened, what else do you think they might be misrepresenting regarding Israel?
This is Warrant Officer Ibrahim Kharuba, a Bedouin Muslim IDF soldier, who is nominated for the IDFs highest bravery honor. On October 7th, he was one of the few armed men protecting a group of female soldiers on Nahal Oz base. The terrorists recognized he was an Arab and told him to surrender, he responded: "never". Ibrahim fought till the last bullet.
Shortly before he was murdered, he told the women: "it was my greatest honor to protect you". They are alive because of his bravery.
This is what actual coexistence looks like, in case anyone was confused.
"President. There ain't no back and forth."
Keep speaking up @Erin_Molan. Keep sharing the facts and along with them your feelings. You speak for humanity. You speak for your daughter. You speak for our family, my friend. For all decent and good people in the world.
Gratitude.
Here is a reality check for the critics of Israel.
In 2002, my friend Yoni Jesner, 19, was killed by a Palestinian suicide bomber on a bus in the second intifada while he was studying in Tel Aviv. When Yoni died, his organs were donated to a young Palestinian girl, whose life was saved by Yoni's family.
In 2008, when Yahya Sinwar, the future leader of Hamas, was in prison in Israel, he developed a brain tumor. An Israeli surgeon operated on his head and saved his life.
Earlier this year I visited a special medical center in Israel called Save A Child's Heart, in which world leading surgery is being offered to children who are flown from third world countries with their mothers to the hospital in Israel for stays of up to a year or longer while their children receive this life-saving treatment.
Every day in Israel, the ambulance service Magen David Adom, services every single denomination of person in medical need; whether Jewish, Muslim, Christian or other.
Throughout Israel's existence, Palestinian children have been brought from the territories into Israel to receive life-saving treatment by Israeli doctors.
If Israel wanted to intentionally target and genocide Palestinian children and do any of the things that perverted accusers are alleging Israel has done during this war, the Jewish state would not have extended its medical services for its 75 year existence to its Palestinian and Arab neighbors, and communities far beyond its borders. Even criminals like Sinwar are treated as any other human being.
Learn some things. Process the things you're learning. And consider where your bias lies.
A message of solidarity from Lebanese 🇱🇧 singer Carine Bassili to Israel 🇮🇱 and the Jewish people, singing “October Rain” in Arabic. Worth listening and sharing
This is the first time a song in Arabic has been dedicated to Israel as a gift of solidarity.
Bassili decided to translate the song into Arabic following the October 7th massacre against Israel, honoring the 1,200 Israelis who were slaughtered by Hamas and the 101 Israeli children, women, men, and elderly still in captivity in Gaza by Hamas.
Joining this message of solidarity with @carinebassili are vibrant and vocal non-Jewish speakers from across the Middle East, such as:
@ACTBrigitte 🇱🇧
@JustLuai 🇾🇪
@RawaneOsmane 🇱🇧🇸🇾
@MaryamYounnes 🇱🇧
@lalshareef 🇦🇪
Fatema El Harbi 🇧🇭
And myself
Along with many others who couldn’t publish their names for security reasons.
This message of solidarity worth sharing.
Hundreds of Jewish students at @Columbia just published one of the most incredible student letters I have ever read.
It's not only magnificently written, but it also clearly articulates their experiences on campus for the past six months.
Their letter tells the story of what's it like being a Jewish student right now better than any professor like myself could ever do.
Please take 4-5 minutes to read their letter.
Give Jewish students a voice.

They baked a baby. In an oven.
THEY BAKED A BABY IN AN OVEN.
THEY BAKED A BABY IN AN OVEN.
Say ceasefire one more time, you fucking baby-murdering-loving ghouls.
Isaiah 2:4 is prophetic plea for a time that we will no longer need war.
And now is a good time to quietly recite a prayer for all those experiencing the cruel reality that that time has not *yet* come.
May everyone stay safe and may we see a peaceful redemption soon.
❤️❤️❤️
@RudyCerda Sullivan's and Jamesway in Liberty, NY! I used to walk like 2 miles from a local camp to get there when I was a teenager! I can actually remember a song playing in the store once - it was the Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star, which means it was about 1980.. 🤪
Around noon I witnessed appalling anti Semitic abuse towards this Jewish Family on the northern line. Fair play to other passengers who stood up to him. If you recognise the guy please report to @metpoliceuk
Gaza is not occupied. Israel withdrew. Gaza’s Palestinian leaders then burned synagogues and greenhouses full of food. Its leaders are terrorists who have attacked Israelis and Egyptians. The problem is not Israel. The problem is terrorists, and their supporters, like @IlhanMN.
1. Hamas controls Gaza.
2. Hamas is firing rockets at civilians in Israel. 3. @IlhanMN is defending Hamas. Real question is how many times will @IlhanMN rush to the defense of terrorists?
I'm so sad to be writing about another attack on a Synagogue today on the Shabbat and on the last day of Passover. I'm so sorry for the loss and we are with you San Diego.
I'm sad and angry, but also proud of the strength of our community.
You can't break us. 🇮🇱
Even if unintentional, the left has normalized anti-semitism under the guise of criticizing US-Israel foreign policy. It is radicalizing people.
NYT was latest example along with their weak-at-best apology.
