Israel is a modern miracle. Akin to parting of the Red Sea. I tweet the evidence. My opinions are my own.

[ד״ר עינת וילף Dr. Einat Wilf @EinatWilf]

Since I find that malevolent comments should be used as opportunities for study, growth and solidarity - Mamdani's ignorant/insidious comment about Israel being Jewish in the religious sense, is a great opportunity to rewatch the ZIONisM is video, and appreciate Dara Horn's great insight that the Jews predate the categories of religion, race, ethnicity, culture, and have their own name for it - one word, two letters - Am עם ישראל - a form once very common to the Levant, a large joinable tribe:

[🔯 Monotheistic Zionist 🔯 @Zionist_faithfu]

There is something the world will never fully understand about us.

For two thousand years, we prayed three times a day toward a city we could not enter.

We ended each Passover Seder with four words—Next year in Jerusalem—knowing that we would not be there the following year, nor the next, nor the next.

Even so, we recited those words for two thousand years.

We recited those words in basements in Toledo, while the Inquisition burned our books in the square outside.

We recited those words in shtetls in Poland, while Cossacks rode through the streets.

We recited those words in Yemen, in Morocco, in Iraq, in Iran, in lands where being Jewish meant paying the jizya and walking with bowed heads.

We recited those words in Auschwitz. Next year in Jerusalem.

And then, one day, the impossible happened.

A people once called corpses by all historians have returned to life.

A language once declared dead has returned to everyday conversation.

A city once forbidden to us has become our capital again.

We have returned home.

Not as guests.

Not as refugees.

Not with anyone's permission.

We have returned home because we never ceased to be from here.

The bones of our prophets are in this land.

The names of our cities are in this land.

The verbs of our prayers describe this land.

When a farmer in Galilee tills the land today, he is tilling the same land Isaiah walked on.

When a child in Jerusalem learns the alphabet, he is learning the same letters David sang.

When a soldier in the Negev raises a flag, he is raising it over the desert where Abraham buried Sarah.

This is not coincidence.

This is not real estate. This is the fulfillment of an alliance.

And the world can't stand it.

They can't stand that we're still here.

They can't stand that we've built a country in seventy-seven years, while they spent seventy-seven years complaining about it.

They can't stand that the children of survivors have become fighter pilots.

That the children of refugees have become surgeons.

That a language whispered in attics has become the operating system of universities, hospitals, and courts.

They will keep coming.

They came as Pharaoh.

They came as Babylon.

They came as Rome.

They came as the Crusaders.

They came as Spain.

They came as the Cossacks.

They came as the Nazis.

They came as Arafat.

They came as Hamas.

They came like slogans on Western university campuses.

Each generation has its version.

Each generation has its excuse.

Each generation thinks that this time it will finish what the previous one started.

And all generations have been wrong.

Because what they don't understand—what they never understood—is that we are not here by luck.

We are here because three thousand three hundred years ago, at the foot of a mountain in the desert, a people said yes to a covenant, and that covenant has not expired.

Not when the Temple fell.

Not when Spain expelled us.

Not when Europe gassed us.

Not when the whole world voted against us in 1947 and then went to lunch.

The covenant remains.

So, when you see the flag of Israel, look closely.

It is not a flag of conquest.

It is not a flag of supremacy.

It is the flag of a people who waited two thousand years to raise it
and who will not lower it again
for anyone.

Not for boycotts.

Not for resolutions.

Not for editorials.

Not for marches.

Not for bombs.

Not for kidnappings.

Not for the lies told in our name.

We have survived louder enemies.

We have survived crueler enemies.

We have survived enemies whose empires now exist only in textbooks.

We will survive these too.

Because we are not just a country, we are a fulfilled promise. And the promises fulfilled by HaShem
do not bow to the noise of those who never understood them.

Every anti-Israel activist loves the word “decolonisation,” but they apply it selectively. The Jewish people are the ultimate indigenous group of the Land of Israel. Archaeological, linguistic, genetic & historical records confirm continuous Jewish presence for over 3,000 years.

The real colonisation began in 636 CE with the Arab conquest, continued under the Ottomans & peaked under the British Mandate, which promised a Jewish homeland but then blocked Jewish immigration while allowing mass Arab migration.

When the British left in 1948, the Jews didn’t “colonise”, they decolonised. They ended 2,000 years of foreign rule over their ancestral land.

That’s the textbook definition of indigenous liberation.

Israel built a flourishing liberal democracy with Arab Supreme Court justices, gay pride parades & Druze generals. Name one other post-colonial state in the Middle East that matches that record. You can’t.

In 1948, half the country was desert or malaria-infested marsh. The Huleh Valley was a mosquito hellhole; the Negev was empty sand. Today Israel exports $15 billion in agricultural tech, grows tomatoes in the desert with 95% less water than the global average, and leads the world in drip irrigation, a technology that feeds half of Africa.

Intel, Apple, Google, Microsoft, all have their biggest R&D centers outside the U.S. in Israel. Why? Because a country under constant siege can’t afford mediocrity. Almost every 20-year-old, man & woman, serves in the army, then studies. Result: 12 Nobel Prizes in science for a country of 9 million (more per capita than any nation ever).

Over 850,000 Jews were ethnically cleansed from Arab countries between 1948–1975. Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, Syria, entire Jewish communities wiped out overnight. Israel airlifted 120,000 Jews from Iraq (Operation Ezra & Nehemiah), 49,000 from Yemen (Operation Magic Carpet, on eagles’ wings, literally), & absorbed them with zero UN agency, zero international aid, zero refugee camps. They became doctors, generals, scientists.
Later: 1 million Soviet Jews, 100,000 Ethiopians (Operations Moses & Solomon, walking through Sudan, airlifted in secret). Israel integrated them all while fighting wars on every front. That’s not “apartheid”, it’s the opposite.

20% of Israel’s citizens are Arab. They have full voting rights, Arabic is an official language, and they serve in parliament, judiciary, and IDF. Ra’am, an Islamist party, was part of the governing coalition in 2021. Try being a Christian in Gaza or a Jew in Ramallah. You won’t last a day.

Life expectancy for Israeli Arabs is higher than American whites. Infant mortality lower than the EU average. Arab women study at Israeli universities at higher rates than Jewish women in some fields. That’s not “oppression”, that’s integration on steroids.

Every empire that tried to erase the Jews failed. Romans, Nazis, Soviets, gone. Israel buried them all.

Today the BDS crowd screams “from the river to the sea,” but they’re yelling on iPhones powered by Israeli chips, eating tomatoes grown with Israeli tech & taking meds developed in Haifa.

Israel is the only country whose enemies openly declare they want it annihilated & yet it’s never been stronger. GDP per capita higher than France, military tech coveted by every superpower, alliances with India, UAE, Morocco, and quietly half the Sunni world.

Walk through Jerusalem at night, Jews praying at the Kotel, Muslims leaving prayers, Christians singing in the Old City. Hear Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, Amharic, French, all in one bus.

That’s not a colonial outpost. That’s a miracle.

Every Israeli child learns: “Lo yuchal lahem”—they cannot overcome us. Not because we’re bigger, but because we’re stubborn, creative, and morally certain that this land is our home, forever.

Israel is a miracle.
A decolonisation triumph.
A refugee success story.
A democratic beacon in a sea of tyranny.
And it’s not going anywhere.
Not now.
Not ever.

⭕Brillant article du journaliste britannique du Daily Telegraph, Allister
Heath.
🇮🇱Israël et ses juifs, cette énigme qui hante leurs ennemis, ce casse-tête qui subsiste parmi les philosophes et les historiens, cette survie contraire à toute logique historique.
Israël et ses juifs, haïs, qui dérangent, qu'il faut abattre à tout prix, non pas pour ce qu'ils font mais pour ce qu'ils sont. Et qui gagnent à tous les coups. Une analyse magistrale!👏

"Il y a quelque chose en Israël qui met les gens mal à l'aise,
et ce n'est pas ce qu'ils disent.

Ils évoqueront la politique, les colonies, les frontières et les guerres.

Mais grattez un peu sous l'indignation, et vous découvrirez quelque chose de plus profond :
un malaise non pas face à ce que fait Israël, mais face à ce qu'est Israël.

Une nation aussi petite ne devrait pas être aussi puissante.
Point final.
Israël n'a pas de pétrole. Pas de ressources naturelles particulières.
Une population à peine plus importante qu'une ville américaine moyenne.
Ils sont entourés d'ennemis.
Détestés aux Nations Unies.
Cible du terrorisme. Condamnés par les célébrités.
Boycottés, calomniés et attaqués.
Et pourtant, ils prospèrent comme si demain n'existait pas.
Dans le domaine militaire.
Dans le domaine médical.
Dans le domaine de la sécurité.
Dans le domaine technologique.
Dans l'agriculture.
Dans le renseignement.
Dans le domaine moral.
Dans une volonté inébranlable.

Ils transforment le désert en terres cultivables.
Ils produisent de l'eau à partir de l'air.
Ils interceptent des roquettes en plein vol.
Ils libèrent des otages sous le nez des pires régimes du monde.
Ils survivent à des guerres censées les anéantir, et ils gagnent.

Le monde entier observe, perplexe.
Alors, comme face à une force incompréhensible,
il en déduit qu'il s'agit forcément de tricherie.

Ce doit être l'aide américaine.
Ce doit être du lobbying étranger.
Ce doit être de l'oppression.
Ce doit être du vol.
Ce doit être une sombre manœuvre qui a donné aux Juifs ce pouvoir.
Ce doit être du chantage.

Car, à Dieu ne plaise que ce soit autre chose.
À Dieu ne plaise que ce soit réel.
À Dieu ne plaise que ce soit mérité.
Ou pire encore, prédestiné.

Le peuple juif était censé disparaître
depuis très longtemps. C'est ainsi que
devait se terminer l'histoire des minorités exilées, réduites en esclavage et haïes.

Mais les Juifs n'ont pas disparu.
Ils sont rentrés chez eux, ont reconstruit leur terre,
ont fait revivre leur langue et ont ramené leurs morts à la vie –
dans leur mémoire, dans leur identité et dans leur force.

Ce n'est pas normal.
Ce n'est pas politique.
C'est biblique.

Il n'existe aucune formule magique expliquant comment un groupe de personnes
peut retourner dans son pays d'origine après 2 000 ans.

Il n'existe aucun chemin rationnel menant des chambres à gaz à une influence mondiale.

Et il n'existe aucun précédent historique de survie :
les Babyloniens, les Romains, les Croisades,
l'Inquisition, les pogroms et l'Holocauste,
et pourtant, on se retrouve encore à travailler le lundi à Tel Aviv.
Israël est incompréhensible.
À moins de croire en quelque chose qui dépasse les mathématiques.

Voilà ce qui rend le monde fou.
Car si Israël existe réellement, si cette
nation improbable, ancienne et détestée est encore choisie, protégée
et prospère, alors peut-être que Dieu n'est pas un mythe après tout.

Peut-être qu'Il fait encore partie de l'histoire.
Peut-être que l'histoire n'est pas le fruit du hasard.
Peut-être que le mal n'a pas le dernier mot.
Peut-être que les Juifs ne sont pas seulement un peuple, mais un témoignage.

C'est ce qu'ils ne supportent pas.

Car dès lors qu'on admet que la survie d'Israël
n'est pas seulement impressionnante, mais divine, tout change.
Notre boussole morale se réinitialise.
Nos certitudes sur l'histoire, le pouvoir et la justice s'effondrent.
On réalise alors qu'on n'assiste pas à la fin d'un empire, mais
à la naissance de quelque chose d'éternel.

Alors ils le nient.
Ils le diffament.
Et ils s'y opposent avec véhémence.

Parce qu’il est plus facile de qualifier un miracle de « tricherie » que
d’admettre que Dieu tient ses promesses.
Et il les tient encore."

The EU, the UK, support the USA & Israel's devastating strikes on the Iranian Nuclear Program. 🇪🇺🇬🇧

This is an Iranian EMAD missile. It is the size of a city bus and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.

This missile, the Iranian Sejjil missile, Khorramshahr missile, and Ghadr missiles all have thousands of KM range and are *capable of striking Europe* now. Today.

The Iranians are working on ICBM technology and missiles capable of striking the US & Canada

The Iranian nuclear threat is a GLOBAL THREAT.

[Amjad Taha أمجد طه @amjadt25]

To those still struggling with English or math: the U.S. won. Israel won. The Islamist in Iran lost. The Middle East just took its first breath of fresh, non-radioactive air. Trump didn’t just send missiles, he sent a message. No nukes. No bullies. No threats to America’s allies, especially Israel. This wasn’t just war. This was diplomacy with a spine, a masterclass in keeping promises and crushing bad deals. Fordo was flattened. Natanz was neutralized. Esfahan was erased. These weren’t peace-loving labs. They were ticking bombs. And now, they’re gone with precision. Trump said it best, and for once, the whole world nodded. “Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier.”

And guess what? People from Tel Aviv to Texas, from Erbil to Rome, celebrated with one voice and a few B2 vitamins just for fun. Because when evil plans fall, good people rise.
Moral of the story? Never bring uranium to a superpower fight. Always keep B2 handy. Apparently, it’s what victory tastes like.

God bless America. God save lives.
As for Tehran's hardliners, someone please bring them chamomile tea, a therapist, and a globe. It’s time they realize the world isn’t flat, and it doesn’t revolve around them.

In the end, peace isn’t given. It’s earned, protected, and sometimes enforced. And those who chase destruction always forget..justice doesn’t knock. It lands.

The strikes on the Islamic Republic’s three nuclear sites are the result of the regime’s catastrophic pursuit of nuclear weapons at the expense of the Iranian people.

Ali Khamenei and his crumbling terrorist regime have failed the nation. As Khamenei considers how to respond from his underground bunker, I say to him: For the sake of the Iranian people, respond by stepping down, so the proud Iranian nation can leave the disastrous period of the Islamic Republic behind and start a new chapter of peace, prosperity and greatness.

The only sure way to achieve peace is for this regime to now end.
