We will all soon know what it feels like to be Jewish. In France, they already do.

It will be our just deserts for having abandoned the Jews, ignored their warnings, turned against them, and even marched alongside their oppressors.

For three years, you useful idiots have been parading Palestinian flags, sporting keffiyehs, screaming “From the River to the Sea”, and recognizing a fictitious Palestinian state as a reward for Hamas’s October 7 massacre (looking at you, @EmmanuelMacron). You have boycotted the only Jewish state in the world, vilified the Jewish people’s right to self-determination (aka “Zionism”), and spread the “Gaza genocide” blood libel.

Did you really think that if you fed the crocodile enough Jewish flesh, it would eventually be satiated? All you have done is embolden the monster and whet its appetite.

So you were worried about “colonization”? Look around. The only thing being colonized here are our own Western cities. The Palestinian flag has become a victory banner, proudly waved amid the ruins of looted and vandalized historic buildings—a symbol of hatred for our civilization and everything it stands for.

It never ends with the Jews.

I feel like Alex Karp doesn’t get nearly enough credit for how boldly he stood with Israel after October 7.

The next day, October 8, Palantir took out a full-page ad in The New York Times:

“Palantir stands with Israel.”

At a moment when most CEOs were saying as little as possible, Karp chose to make his position unmistakable.

And he didn’t stop at words.

Palantir sent engineers to Israel, brought its board to Tel Aviv, and continued supporting Israel’s defense.

That took conviction.

And it paid off! stock is up 1100% in 3 years.

Meet Miguel Rojas.

He studied all 100 citizenship questions. He wanted no special treatment because he’s a professional baseball player. And when he passed, he said he was prouder of that perfect score than his World Series home run.

What stood out to me most was his gratitude. He talked about America opening its doors to him 21 years ago and said he’s never taken that opportunity for granted.

Preparation. Respect for the process. Gratitude for the country that gave you an opportunity. Wanting to contribute and be judged by your character, not your status.

Asaf Rejuwan, one of the Israeli survivors of flight 1073 wrote on Facebook:

״I don't usually post on social media, but today I felt something burning deep inside me that I simply had to share.

Ever since the incident where the terrorist's attempt to hijack the Flydubai flight was thwarted, there has been a lot of coverage in the media, and I’ve been asked many times what factors I believe prevented the terrible disaster that could have befallen our people had that despicable terrorist succeeded in his plans.

Today, I think I received a very special and interesting answer to that question. Naturally, after the incident ended and we landed safely on the Land of Israel, I felt the need to thank many people... the passengers who cooperated, my lioness of a wife and all the mothers and fathers who protected their loved ones, the children who stayed composed, and every Israeli passenger on that plane.

Yesterday, I was part of a group of passengers interviewed for an international channel. As each passenger went into detail about how they experienced the flight, we realized something very important- something you only understand when the dust settles and you get into the small details during intimate conversations among yourselves.

We realized that every single passenger on that flight had a role, every passenger on the flight had a role.

One passenger was responsible for communicating with Israel's security services

I discovered there was a passenger on board who provided a mobile hotspot and made sure to share it with others

Another female passenger sat and recited Psalms

A passenger made sure to pass along headphone cords to tie up the terrorist

Passengers kept track of where we were going to land using GPS maps

An Australian passenger was the only one on the plane who could make calls back to Israel from an enemy country (Saudi Arabia)

And the list goes on... And, of course, the amazing Yaniv, the wonderful Tzvika and Tali, the hero Shota, the great man Or, and many other great friends who lent a hand.

I had no doubt that after such a great miracle, I would be attending synagogue on Saturday morning to recite the Birkat HaGomel (the prayer of thanking the God of Israel after a lifesaving miracle)

I am not a religious person. I believe in God in my own way, and I don't usually look for signs in everything. But today, something happened that completely astonished me. Completely by chance, today in the synagogue I read from Parashat Devarim (Deuteronomy 33:26):

"There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to help you, and in His majesty rides the skies."

אֵין כָּאֵל יְשֻׁרוּן רֹכֵב שָׁמַיִם בְּעֶזְרֶךָ וּבְגַאֲוָתוֹ שְׁחָקִים

I read the verse, stopped, and got goosebumps, and so did all the other worshippers who knew the story and understood why I was there with them.

After everything that happened on that flight, after the fear, after the storming of the terrorist, and after realizing how thin the line between life and death really was- finding myself facing those exact words, "rides the heavens to help you," was a moment I can hardly explain.

I don't know if it was divine providence, a coincidence, or simply a moment that took on a profoundly deep meaning for me. But today, in the synagogue, as I recited Birkat HaGomel, I felt mainly one thing:

Thank you. Thank you for life. Thank you for the miracle. And thank you for the privilege to stand here and tell the story.

Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱״

No script. No teleprompter. Just raw, unfiltered soul.
​World leaders usually hide behind armored motorcades and rehearsed diplomatic smiles. Then there’s Javier Milei—stepping into the heart of New York, locking arms with Yeshiva boys, and leaping into the circle like a man possessed by pure joy.
​Politics divides, but shared faith, freedom, and an unstoppable spirit shake the room. When a president dances like nobody’s watching, you’re not looking at an official—you’re looking at a force of nature.
​Unapologetic. Electrifying. Absolute history in motion.
​@JMilei is a legend. 🇦🇷🔥

An Arab commentator sat on Lebanese television and said the sentence the Western street still treats as unspeakable. Stop trafficking in the blood of Gaza.

Islamic Jihad started the fight, not Israel. Hamas and Islamic Jihad were already in Cairo talking about a ceasefire when one of them decided to shoot two Israelis and drag the Strip into another round it did not have to fight.

He went further than most of his colleagues will ever go on camera. Israel left Gaza in 2005. What filled the vacuum was not a state. It was the Muslim Brotherhood project wearing Hamas’s face and the Iranian project wearing Islamic Jihad’s, and together they turned Gaza into a Palestinian civil war. Sinwar’s real target, he said, was Ramallah, not Jerusalem. The 2007 coup was not resistance. It was a choice.

Instead of two states they built three: a Brotherhood enclave in Gaza, an Abbas fief in the West Bank, and Israel still standing where it always stood.

That is why clips like this matter. It is not a Jewish analyst making the argument. It is an Arab voice naming the authors of the prison and refusing to hand Israel the bill. The people who wrecked every opening for a normal life are the same people now selling the wreckage as occupation.

He called a spade a spade. The region would be quieter if more of his neighbors did the same.
