@ZoharAtkins @Rafi_Eis The walls leaned over to fall… they did not fall out of deference to R’ Yehoshua, yet they did not straighten out of deference to R’ Eliezer, and they remain so, leaning. Zohar your lovely description of an almost Sloterdijkean bubble/sphere is too solid an imagining. Sovev.

Heartbroken but relieved Joshua Loitu Mollel has been returned to Israel after 761 days in Hamas captivity. 💔

🇮🇱🫶🏽🇹🇿 While Joshua wasn’t an Israeli citizen, over the past 2 years we Israelis adopted him into our hearts. While he will still travel home to his family in Tanazania, we feel like one of our own is back 🇮🇱🫶🏽🇹🇿

Joshua, 21, an agricultural intern from Tanzania, came to Kibbutz Nahal Oz to learn modern farming and one day start his own agricultural business back home.

Kind, polite and hardworking, he embodied hope and curiosity on his very first trip abroad.

Just two and a half weeks after arriving in Israel, Hamas terrorists attacked. Joshua was kidnapped and later murdered in Gaza - his dreams and his family’s hopes stolen in an instant.

After 761 days, Joshua’s body has been returned to Israel - for the dignified farewell he was denied for far too long.

May his memory be a blessing. 🕯️

🎗️Mother of Nepalese student held captive in Gaza for 727 days walks the streets holding a picture of her son.

Bipin Joshi, an agricultural student studying in Israel, was kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists during the October 7th attack and kidnapped to Gaza.

He has been held captive ever since for almost 2 years.

His heartbroken mother has been campaigning tirelessly across the world
from Nepal to Israel and the U.S. to call for the release of her son.

@Aizenberg55 Back of envelope: Take pop size to be 1.8Mn, applying chi squared test to the observed and expected famine death case numbers in the table, the probability that famine hypothesis is true is <0.000…1. Very very strong evidence to reject the presumption of famine.

I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.

But we aren't "one people" are we?

The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.

We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.

I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.

And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.

I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.

It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.

Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.

And the other side murdered him.

Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.

I don��t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk.

Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.

I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.

I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.

I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.

There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved.

But then there will be a reckoning.

My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.

So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.

Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.

Ours is just beginning.

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

The lies come fast and furious. State actors are pushing them at a strategic level. Media outlets run with them for several reasons: (a) because they were trained in elite Western academia to believe that the truth can sometimes serve the powerful, so it is sometimes a moral imperative to tell lies that are deemed useful to the weak, (b) because journalists, like academics, know that taking one wrong step outside the permitted narrative means career suicide and social ostracism, and (c) because they don't actually know anything about either Gaza or war.

Gaza faces real hunger and famine. Israel, which struggled to get a good sense of the reality on the ground because of the neverending torrent of lies, responded by ending the attempt to deliver aid in a way that bypasses Hamas. It opened the floodgates.

I'm very, very relieved that the aid is flowing. Genuine disaster was averted.

But there's a steep cost to this good development.

Gaza is not Israel's Vietnam. It isn't far away, it isn't ignorable, it isn't a war rooted in some abstract international-relations theory. Just yesterday, a Hamas leader gave an interview in which he promised that Israel would soon collapse, in which he reiterated what Hamas is constantly telling Israelis: That the war will never, ever end.

And the removal of Hamas has just become harder and will take longer because the attempt to deny it the income from aid theft has now collapsed.

And it may convince Netanyahu to shift to full Israeli control of Gaza for some time - by a government no Palestinian trusts to leave again.

So Gaza remains trapped in Hamas's clutches, in Hamas's strategy and vision. A better future for Gaza has been pushed off once again.

Every pre-state massacre, every suicide bombing that crashed a peace process, every new attempt to murder and humiliate, has ended in disaster for Palestinians. Hamas is proud of this disaster, just as it was proud of derailing the peace process 25 years ago.

As always, there is nothing anyone can do for Gaza that Hamas won't undo.

And everyone who fails to recognize that, who fails to understand that a new day for Gaza lies on the other side of Hamas's removal, is helping to prop up Hamas and prolong Gaza's suffering.

[Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر @emilykschrader]

Multiple things can be true at once in Gaza:

1. There is a massive campaign against Israel being spearheaded even by organizations like the UN, which incorrectly accuses Israel of “intentional starvation.” There is no limitation on the amount of aid that can go into Gaza by Israel. There hasn’t been since May 19. Yet the UN has refused to deliver literally thousands of tons of aid *coincidentally* when ceasefire negotiations picked up steam.

2. There is actually starvation occurring in Gaza and the hundreds of trucks which Israel approved and transferred to the Gaza side need to be distributed immediately. This should be the first priority. The UN needs to be held accountable for refusing to deliver this aid.

3. The UN requesting terrorists (Hamas blue police) accompany the UN for security while rejecting both IDF and GHF offers for security is completely unacceptable.

The UN itself reported that they’ve picked up about 1600 trucks since May 19, and of those 85% (pictured) were looted by Hamas or hijacked by Palestinian mobs. It’s astounding that even with such statistics, the UN is refusing security assistance from the IDF and from @GHFUpdates as the expense of the Gazan people.

4. GHF has delivered more than 80 million meals but is not and was never intended to be the sole aid provider. They have publicly and repeatedly called to work with the UN on this effort and the UN has refused. This is criminal negligence in my opinion.

5. Speaking of that, the conduct of some Israeli officials during this time is atrocious and inexcusable. While Gazans starve and a massive smear campaign mounts, you have ignorant ministers making insane genocidal comments that force condemnation even from the Prime Minister, you have officials wasting time with untenable plans for building a “humanitarian city,” you have the Knesset passing meaningless nonbinding bills flirting with annexation of Judea and Samaria, you have MKs holding fantastical sessions on delusional pipe dreams of a “Gaza riviera” and all this while ignoring the demands on the front lines and the diplomatic and media front.

They have flat out failed to clearly and transparently lay out the strategy for the Gaza war. They knew that Hamas uses human shields and civilian infrastructure yet they haven’t prepared to prove it. Why? It isn’t new. There is truly no excuse.

The level of incompetence at the government level when it comes to public relations is one of the state of Israel’s biggest failures in its existence…and it’s so bad it literally threatens our security.

It's quite interesting to see how many people who claim to be against bombing hospitals are not actually against bombing hospitals if they are Israeli hospitals.
