"Netanyahu has put all his chips on Trump... and while he may believe he’s won the jackpot, he doesn’t have an open tab in the Oval Office... Matters could come to a head if he balks at Trump’s anticipated program for Gaza."

Stunning that Trump is objecting to Israeli strikes in Syria and understandably a strike against a Church in Gaza. But has left Netanyahu with a margin to manuever in Gaza that's as wide as the Grand Canyon.
Iran, Israel & the US "are pivoting to a series of accomplishments that offer ladders from which to climb down off their warhorses. Those parallel narratives facilitate moving their respective publics toward de-escalation."

The level of depravity displayed at #Glastonbury2025 was astonishing, one that should prompt serious self-reflection and soul searching among British society.
A 200K person audience chanting in unison for another group of people to be killed is a sign of a sick, troubled society.
@CST_UK While it certainly should be the hoped for beginning, the Goldsmiths “Action Plan” is far from an adequate response to the poisonous atmosphere exposed by the Independent Inquiry report.
🚨 Breaking: Israel 🇮🇱 Minister of Diaspora @AmichaiChikli on the murder of Israeli diplomats:
“We must hold to account the leaders who promote this hatred. @EmmanuelMacron 🇫🇷 and @Keir_Starmer 🇬🇧 have emboldened the forces of terror, and the price is paid in Jewish blood.”
ADL San Diego partnered with Israel Baseball Americas for a special screening of Israel Swings for Gold, celebrating Team Israel’s inspiring Olympic journey.

The victims of the “Jew hunt” in Amsterdam were Jews. For Mayor Halsema to try to change the focus to discrimination against Muslims and say – “People feel like they are back in the days after 9/11, that they have to defend themselves” – is the real act of politicization of the antisemitic attacks. https://t.co/eqRX3t18Di
In the midst of today’s harrowing attack on Israelis in the streets of Amsterdam, a light shone through the darkness, embodied in a single man: Milhem Assad.
Milhem, an Arab-Israeli and lifelong fan of Maccabi Tel-Aviv, did not shrink back as violence engulfed the city. When the mob began targeting Jews and Israelis, Milhem found a way to shield those in danger. Boldly, he would take groups of Jews and walk alongside them, speaking loudly in Arabic. By doing so, he led attackers to believe that these were fellow Arabs—and, time and again, they spared the group, allowing Milhem to guide them to safety.
For hours, Milhem repeated this act, each time risking his own safety to protect strangers. His presence became a refuge, his voice a shield, helping Israelis return to their hotels and find safe passage in a world suddenly turned hostile.
Milhem’s courage and ingenuity remind us that in a world of darkness, even a single light can show the way. His actions stand as a testament to the power of our shared humanity—and a reminder that, no matter how fierce the storm, goodness will ultimately prevail.
A woman wearing a short skirt is motionless on the ground. A man kicks her hard at the top of the thigh, at the front/side. Then another man kicks her hard in the ass.
It is a public performance of sexualized political violence.
She's targeted as a Zionist.
200k followers.
First the antisemites murdered Anne Frank because she was Jewish.
Then the world recognised her as a symbol of the vileness of antisemitism.
Now the antisemites appropriate her image as being symbolic of the victims of Jewish evil.
Amir, a brilliant Israeli journalist who lives with his family in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, has written a unique first hand personal account of the events on 10/7 blended with historical context. It is an essential read for a deeper understanding of the tragedy.
The Gates of Gaza, my book about October 7 and the history that led to it, is officially out today and available for purchase online and in bookstores.
Thank you to the many, many people who have already pre-ordered it and began reading. Get yours today:

New in U.S. News Opinion by Sharon Nazarian: There has never been, and I hope never again will be, a more dangerous presidential candidate for the Jewish community than Donald Trump. https://t.co/ZDpUiC1mHM
It’s crucial we understand that the recent attack on the @ADL by @Wikipedia is actually an attack on any source of unbiased information about Jews or Israel. Wikipedia’s mechanisms that are supposed to assure neutrality & accuracy have proved entirely inadequate in the face of coordinated assaults by ideologically motivated actors. Zooming out, ideological capture of critical information resources is a threat to American society as a whole. If one of the world’s most influential conduits of knowledge decides it wants to turn itself into the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, that’s its prerogative. The rest of us need to get informed, warn the world about it, and demand accountability.

This analysis by @ShalomLipner is a must read,concise nuanced assessment of the complexities & critical choices likely to play out between Israel and the U.S. in the coming days, weeks & months. As Lipner expertly shows the stakes for both countries and the world are very high.
"In his face-to-face encounter with @POTUS, @IsraeliPM had a pivotal opportunity—which one hopes that he didn’t squander—to synchronize Israeli and American objectives for the remaining six months of the Biden presidency."
