A very impromptu video that I felt compelled to film in reaction to the Irish Times callous disregard for the victims of the antisemitic terror attack during Chanukkah at Bondi Beach.
It is utterly shameful that our paper of note could not even wait until all of the bodies of those murdered at Bondi (which included a 10-year-old girl and a Holocaust survivor) were all buried before disrespecting them in such an egregious manner.
This disrespect constitutes one towards the Jewish community entire, one that has been a feature of the Irish media class for two years…and one that it seems will continue unabated until more of us have the courage to stand up and say: ‘enough’.
This is an extremely difficult thing to expect from anyone in Gaza.
But it really isn't (or shouldn't be) such a tall order from parties in the Arab world or from the enormous community of pro-Palestinian activists, academics, politicians, and intellectuals in the West.
Well?
A voice from Gaza:
"Anyone who has even a grain of faith, conscience, patriotism, or morality,
Anyone who has even a grain of love for the people of Gaza must raise their voice now and demand—immediately and without delay—that Hamas free Gaza for the sake of God by handing over the hostages and lifting its hand from Gaza.
We are dying because of Hamas."
Gal Gadot says "I had to speak up" after October 7th and "advocate for the hostages."
"I could not be silent. I was shocked by the amount of hate, by the amount of how much people think they know when they actually have no idea, and also by how the media is not fair many times. So I had to speak up. I’m not a hater. I'm a grandchild of a Holocaust survivor who came to Israel and established his family from scratch after his entire family was erased in Auschwitz. And on the other side of my family, I'm eighth generation Israeli. I'm an indigenous person of Israel.
"I am all about humanity, and I felt like I had to advocate for the hostages. When your compass is clear, your conscience is clean. I know what I’m advocating for, and I know what I wish for the world. I am praying for better days for all. I want everybody to have good life and prosperity, and the ability to raise their children in a safe environment.”

The pathetic part of student protestors is not admitting to what they do and why they do that.
They all proclaimed loudly “no Zionists allowed & support Hamas”.
Their specific targeting of Jews had a purpose and a message. If you’re too cowardly to admit that, don’t even engage.
Breaking: The head of EuroMed Human Rights Org who sits in Switzerland officially confirms that his brother-in-law was one of the most senior Hamas members and member of Hamas Political Bureau
Please consider that when you repeat @EuroMedHR statistics or claims

Golda Meir was the first foreign diplomat to openly refuse to obey the horrific racial segregation laws in Rhodesia.
Israel is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85% by 2050.
Israel is not responsible for the police brutality in the US. Or US immigration laws. Or US segregation and slavery.
Israel IS the only country in the Middle East that openly accepts queer people, that's not pinkwashing it's the truth.
Why am I even engaging with this? You're just blaming Jews for everything wrong with the world.
Key takeaways of the @ADL's report on @Wikipedia:
- The nonprofit identified a “group of 30 editors that appear to be in close coordination” on editing topics related to Israel and the Jews, which the ADL refers to as the “bad faith editors.”
- The close times between edits among this group makes it appear that offsite coordination is occurring.
- A number of the editors also edit as long as eight hours a day, which raises questions if they’re being paid to edit. Paid editing is only allowed on Wikipedia if it’s disclosed.
- These editors voted in lockstep with each other on article deletion discussions.
- Members of this group of editors have removed how some perpetrators of Palestinian "political violence" have called for the destruction of Israel, scrubbed references to Hamas's sexual violence on Oct. 7, and removed reports of a Palestinian quoted as saying that they flew an incendiary kite with a swastika on it to show Israelis that “we want to burn them.”
- These editors have a penchant for citing sources like Al Jazeera and PalestineRemembered.
- But one editor told me there's "no real smoking gun" in the report.
The three infamous occasions a red bloody hand was used:
1- 1941, the Farhud to mark Jewish homes for slaughter
2- 2000, the Ramallah lynching and cannibalism of two Israelis
3- 2023, the pro Palestine protests after the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust took place
