[Gadi Eisenkot - גדי איזנקוט @gadi_eisenkot]

האלימות של מיליציות יהודיות קיצוניות ביהודה ושומרון היא מעשה טרור נפשע וקריאת תיגר חמורה על ריבונות המדינה. חבורת הפורעים הזו פועלת בניגוד לערכים היהודיים, מחלישה את החברה הישראלית, מכתימה את שמה של ישראל בעולם ומחבלת באופן אקטיבי במשימתם המבצעית של כוחות הביטחון במלחמה בטרור הפלסטיני ובהגנה על האזרחים.

ממשלה מופקרת שפועלת נגד האינטרסים הלאומיים, ראש ממשלה ושר ביטחון שכובלים את ידי צה״ל ושב״כ בגזרה ופירקו את היכולת לממש את משימות כוחות הבטחון- מקשים על צה״ל במימוש משימותיו לסכל טרור, לספק ביטחון, לממש את סמכותו, לפעול ביד קשה וללא פשרות נגד כל גילוי אלימות ולמנוע הסלמה חמורה שתבעיר את השטח.

[Naftali Bennett נפתלי בנט @naftalibennett]

יש קשר ישיר בין מגפת האלימות והפשיעה ברחבי ישראל לבין החגיגה המופקרת אתמול ששילבה בין עבריינים מורשעים, בכירי משטרה, בריונים כמו מרדכי דוד, והשר שאחראי על המשטרה ועל בטחון הפנים של אזרחי ישראל.

דוגמה אישית היא הבסיס למנהיגות.
כשהילדים והילדות שלנו רואים את מנהיגי המדינה מתחבקים עם פושעים, אלה הגיבורים שאליהם הם נושאים עיניים, ואלה התוצאות המדממות.

בקרוב נחזיר את היושרה והערכים לכל השירות הציבורי בישראל.

I want to stress British Jews are super concentrated in NW London. there are only 250k of us. Roughly around 100k of us live in this area and surrounding areas. It’s like a small town that’s now under sustained attack. This is the heart of the community and every connected Jew across the country will ties, friends, family here. It’s not felt like disjointed and episodic attacks but like small town the size of Worcester is under attack by an IRGC-cut out.

[Karim Sadjadpour @ksadjadpour]

Trump's threats to destroy Iranian civilization are a gift to the regime. They will alienate even its fiercest opponents, who believe the Islamic Republic has spent decades erasing 2500 years of Iranian civilization. It's malpractice for the U.S. president to threaten the same.

[Ilana Ross @lanadelross]

I feel like this is a good answer?

[POLITICO @politico]

Asked whether he considers himself a Zionist, @GavinNewsom tells our @jmart he's "proud" to support Israel, but "deeply, deeply" opposes Netanyahu’s leadership.

Newsom explains his Israel stance — and defends his "apartheid" comments👇

Anyone who would think a statement condemning a terorrist attack on a synagogue is a “risk” is insane and should be fired from the campaign. Any candidate who thinks it’s “leadership” to do the bare minimum is delusional

The war on the Diaspora. My essay for @unherd on a small side plot in a great Middle Eastern War that now feels very close to home. https://t.co/oBjPyvuG4Z

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

This must be condemned by everyone.

There is never an excuse for political violence (terrorism), and it is even more disgusting when it’s done during a war.

The IDF has announced that they will send more units to the West Bank to stop the violence against Palestinians.

[Nazanin Boniadi @NazaninBoniadi]

Striking critical civilian infrastructure like power plants will harm millions of Iranians who have long risked everything for freedom. Pressure must target the machinery of repression—not the people who have endured 47 years under it.

The world must prevent such a catastrophe.

[Emerson T. Brooking @etbrooking]

It should be said—loudly, by many people—that the indiscriminate destruction of civilian infrastructure is a war crime. There is no way around this.

[John Aziz @aziz0nomics]

@IhabHassane These Kahanist maniacs must be prevented from inflicting any further harm on Palestinians.

Itamar Ben Gvir is refusing to enforce the law and protect Palestinians.

[Thomas Chatterton Williams @thomaschattwill]

It’s a genuinely shameful thing to have a president who celebrates when people die.

[Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر @emilykschrader]

What kind of hateful bigot gets up in the middle of a war when ballistic missiles are flying and says ‘I have an idea! Let’s go burn homes and cars of Palestinians’ WTF? These people are disgusting, this is terrorism, and I hope they rot in prison.

[Ben Hunt @EpsilonTheory]

While Trump dodged the draft, Robert Mueller volunteered for the Marines after graduating Princeton. He was awarded a Bronze Star with combat V, rescuing a wounded Marine while under fire. He was later shot in the thigh, awarded a Purple Heart, and returned to lead his platoon.

[Tom Malinowski @Malinowski]

Hi @AIPAC -- I still agree with this.

But maybe you should also stop demonizing and defaming pro-Israel Americans who don't line up 100% with your hard line views.

[John Aziz @aziz0nomics]

A positive step towards peace that the Israeli government could take right now would be to halt the attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank being undertaken by extremist settlers, as this Yesh Atid MK says in her speech here.

[Dan Shapiro @DanielBShapiro]

I've been critical of Trump's Iran war decision, which from the beginning has lacked clear strategic objectives and failed to prepare for and mitigate significant risks.

But I reject Joe Kent's characterization of how this war came about. Israel has its interests, and like any nation, will pursue them. But the President of the United States has agency, made his own judgments about US interests, and fully owns the decision to go to war. If you disagree with it, he bears responsibility.

Kent's characterization -- consistent with his known extremist views -- echoes longstanding antisemitic tropes about shadowy cabals exerting undue influence. No. Israel is a country that pursues its interests. We don't have to agree with them. American citizens of any background have a right to advocate for the policies they support. Everyone can disagree with them too. But Presidents make decisions about using military force.

Despite my utter contempt for the cruel and dangerous Iranian regime, and support for the Iranian people's quest for freedom, I believe Trump erred to conduct this war, this way. More importantly on day 17, I am calling for him to declare victory based on the significant damage to Iran's power projection capabilities, and take an off-ramp before a lengthy conflict does serious harm to our broader strategic interests.

It is possible to do several things at once: oppose this war; hold the President responsible; recognize the evil of the Iranian regime; call for an end to the war now that significant damage has been done to Iran's ability to threaten its neighbors, and before broader damage to global U.S. interests is incurred; acknowledge that the U.S. and Israel are partners with many overlapping but also some divergent interests; and, avoid antisemitic tropes in making a case against the war.

Democrats who oppose this war don't need Joe Kent or his extremist views to make their case. They should not embrace him.

[Ilana Ross @lanadelross]

@jonfavs like with Joe Kent - it's like people think "well a broken clock is right twice a day" and don't bother to go to the next step of wondering about what this guy's agenda and true feelings about Jews are. it's definitely thorny; I worry not enough people are approaching with care

[Ilana Ross @lanadelross]

@jonfavs It's completely valid - and important - to call out Netanyahu and the illiberal strain of the Israeli government but what bothers me is not a ton of people seem to be concerned about how quickly those criticisms can be taken and use by people not acting in good faith
