Today marks three years since the horrendous terrorist attacks by Hamas on 7 October. It was the worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust.
Today we solemnly remember and honour those who were killed, injured, or taken hostage. My own visit to the site of the Nova festival and to kibbutz Nir Oz last year left a deep and lasting impression; it's almost impossible to grasp the horrific cruelty that took place. My thoughts are with all the families who lost loved ones. Terrorism can never be justified.
OCTOBER 7, 2023: SHE KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO DIE.
Libi Cohen-Meguri, a 22-year-old infantry officer, went to the Nova music festival.
She was shot while fleeing the party. At 8:11 a.m., she called her parents and said:
âIâve been shot in the stomach, Iâve been shot in the arm, Iâm losing blood. Iâm going to die.â
Calmly, quietly, she understood; these were the last minutes of her life.
She asked her parents to call Tomer, her twin brother, and Maya, her little sister, and said:
âIâm going to die. I just want you to listen to me.
I love you, Yariv. Youâre the best father I could have asked for.
Mom, stop screaming. Just listen to me. You are the best mother we could have ever had. Donât forget to be a good mother to Tomer and Maya after I die.
Tomer, how lucky we were to live this life together. I love you.
My Maya, never forgetâyou are the treasure of my life.â
When she finished speaking, her parents told her to get out of the car, lie down on the road, and pretend to be dead.
With her last bit of strength, she got out of the car and laid down on the road.
âMom, theyâre coming to shoot me again,â Libi said after lying down.
While her mother listened on the phone, shouts in Arabic could be heard, and then a barrage of gunfire.
It didnât stop.
It kept going, until the call was disconnected.
And thatâs how Libi diedâwith demonic beasts from the pit of hell standing over her and emptying a full magazine into her body.
Libi died with LOVE on her lips: love for life, love for her family, and love for her people.
Her memory will forever be a blessing.
NEVER FORGET.
NEVER FORGIVE.
NEVER AGAIN IS NOW.
Israel is hunting down every single Palestinian and Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7th Massacreâto kill them all.
Theyâre living on âborrowed time,â Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Sooner or later, every one of these monsters will be found and eliminated.
âValet i JĂ€rva kan, enligt mina kĂ€llor, inte kallas vare sig fritt eller rĂ€ttvist. Det var definitivt inte vĂ€rdigt en demokrati. âDet vĂ€rsta jag sett sedan jag var valobservatör i Uganda, och en kandidat mutade vĂ€ljare med ris och utsĂ€deâ, sĂ€ger en av röstmottagarna. En annan bedömer att en majoritet av alla röstande hade med sig en eller flera andra personer in i röstbĂ„set. Framför allt kvinnor. I mĂ„nga fall hann personalen inte ingripa mot mĂ€nnen i deras sĂ€llskap innan det var för sent.â

Se den hÀr. COB klÀr av SVT:s reporter fullstÀndigt. Hennes uppsÄt Àr tydligt: sÀtta dit honom, fÄ honom att "ta ansvar för sin svans" (pÄ X). En absurd utgÄngspunkt. Och ett lika illvilligt som klumpigt försök till hit job.
För varje dag som gĂ„r blir det allt mer tydligt â att den hĂ€r typen av journalistik har spelat ut sin roll. SĂ„na som COB kan spela in intervjuer och lĂ€gga ut dem oklippta, sĂ„ kan var och en göra sin egen bedömning av reporterns avsikter.
MSM ser sÄnt som ett "hot mot demokratin", men det Àr precis tvÀrtom.
Den hÀr typen av kurerad, ideologiskt driven journalistik, Àr det verkliga hotet.
Dessa mÀnniskor Àr demokratins dödgrÀvare.
Desinformationens kolportörer.
Jag finner dem motbjudande.
EU lÀrde sig vÀrdet av energioberoende efter oljekriserna pÄ 1970-talet. TyvÀrr verkar dessa lÀxor bortglömda idag nÀr vi stÄr inför den potentiellt största energikrisen nÄgonsin.
I slutÀndan handlar energioberoende om Europas strategiska autonomi. DÀrför Àr det avgörande att EU omgÄende:
1. Inte tillÄter att mer baskraft stÀngs i förtid.
2: Signalerar styrka genom en plan för försörjningstrygghet.
3: SÀkerstÀller att medlemslÀnder har nödvÀndiga verktyg att vidta ytterligare ÄtgÀrder vid behov.
I was on PBSâs @FiringLineShow this week with @MargaretHoover, where I said there is a full-on gender apartheid happening right now in Iran. The Islamic regime brutalizes women, crushes dissent, and exports violence far beyond its borders.
Iran funds Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi terrorist groups. It destabilizes the Middle East and fuels violence in the West.
The Iranian people have been telling us for years they donât want this regime. They are occupied by their own government.
If you care about human rights, talk about Iran. Stand with the people of Iran.
@alicemedce FruktansvÀrda nyheter. Han var en otroligt skicklig debbatör, och trodde starkt pÄ det fria ordet, och att tala med sina meningsmotstÄndare. Han menade pÄ att motsatsen leder till vÄld. Han har fÄtt mig att tÀnka till över mÄnga frÄgor, bÄde politiska och vÀrldsliga.
To Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg :
I speak to you as an Arab Muslim activist who has spent the past nine years committed to combating misinformation and working tirelessly to promote peace in the Middle East, with a focus on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Stop using our suffering as PR tool for yourself, Our struggle will not be resolved through performative gestures or virtue signalingâbut through the relentless efforts of those truly rooted in the region.
History will remember who helped ending the war and who hindered it. We wonât forget nor forgive.
Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff stunned the audience by completely destroying the Palestinian narrative about the conflict.
Palestine never existed as a sovereign Arab state. The British Mandate of Palestine was a British regime that gained control of the land of Israel due to the fall of the Ottoman Empire after 1917.
Jews lived in the Holy Land (ie, the Old Yishuv) for centuries. Including under the control of the Ottoman Empire, when Jews were the majority of residents in Jerusalem.
Before 1909, Tel Aviv was a desert land. The empty land was bought legally by the Jews who turned it over the years into a prosperous city. Not a single Arab was thrown out of his home or cave by the Jews, who again, bought desert lands in the Land of Israel legally and built the kibbutzim (agricultural towns).
After the British government turned the mandate back to the U.N., the Arab-Muslim world rejected the UN partition plan and declared war not only against Israel, but also against their own Jewish population. The Arab states ethnically cleansed most of their Jewish population. Most of the Jewish refugees moved to Israel where the armies of Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Egypt joined forces and declared war along with the local Arab population with the public goal of "pushing all the Jews into the sea".
During the war of independence the Arab armies who started this war, ordered the local Arabs to leave the combat zones and allow them to annihilate the Jews living there. Some Arabs were also forcibly evacuated during the fighting and moved to nearby territories under the control of Egypt and Jordan (Gaza and the West Bank).
Israel has never committed and never will commit genocide. In fact by defending itself Israel is preventing another genocide of Jews.
Hamas, Hezbollah and Iranâs regime are the obstacles to peace in the Middle East!

@mamasjason20013@FortniteStatus It doesn't actually give you XP to clarify. It just shows all the levels you already earned, which is somewhat annoying with the constant lvl up sound and all.
