Being part of the @btv_vc team is such an amazing experience. We learned so much during The Mint from the BTV team and the other founders we had the pleasure working with.
Go #TheMintBatch2 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

We just wrapped cohort 2 of The Mint, our accelerator @btv_vc. I've loved working in an office together w/ founders for the last few months.

8 companies pitched their startups to ~150 investors yesterday; for those who missed it - here they are 👇🏾

🚨 SAFETY ALERT - URGENT! Encampments eyed by Hamas for use as terror hubs! 🚨

Today, The Hamas run "Resistance movement" issued a PDF "Flood The Gates: Escalate" with directives to over 100 US college encampments they have mapped out in an interactive website (see below).

These foreign accounts previously published atrocities on 10/7 as victories and daily attacks around Gaza against Israelis by their "comrades" in Hamas and Hezbollah. For two weeks, they published daily updates of US Student encampments. Today's PDF is being distributed to encampment leaders through pro pal organizers and charities like WOL - which they quote in a post as asking for “escalation trainings.”

Screenshots from PDF attached - all direct quotes below)

- BREAK OPEN UNIVERSITY GATES: "Your first task is to open campus to the community and reject the distinction between students and outside agitators."
- ABOVE ALL ELSE, ESCALATE: "Power won’t move unless we strike fear in the heart of the ruling class and pose a threat to their reproduction of capital."
- BUILD MORE MILITANCY: "Diversity of tactics only works if we are building more militancy. It is time for more of us to step up to the front line."
- BRING THE WAR HOME: (Image of Atlanta Police and Israeli Defence Forces)
Additional quotes:
"We will not disavow any actions taken to escalate… including militant direct actions."
"We keep us safe by escalating. Don’t hesitate to take more risk."
"The pro-Palestinian movement must be a movement against the police."
"We must no longer… cry foul at the bullying of the pigs… and stop appealing to respectability of monsters."
"There exists a dialectical relationship between the underground and aboveground."
"We in the US are not exempt from resistance. It is insincere to glorify the Palestinian resistance if… we do not raise our own resistance here."
"We recognize that building an infrastructure of militancy for the larger struggle against imperialism… is the only effective route."
"We are not naive enough to think revolution will come through peaceful means."
"New forms of leadership … will emerge from those ... inside of classroom buildings."
"Rebellious movements must prepare to …outmaneuver, exhaust, demoralize, confuse, and overpower the repressive might of the state."

I know this is crazy, but it's real. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, just a concerned mom who couldn't ignore this. THEY ARE NOT PEACEFUL PROTESTS. Please share people need to wake up fast.

Kidnapping children is despicable and wholly unjustifiable. For obvious reasons, this picture has hit home with me. May Noya and all hostages taken by Hamas be returned soon, safely, to their families.

[Hillel Fuld @HilzFuld]

Let me say this in the clearest possible terms. If you’re concerned with Israel’s response, if you’re focused on the people of Gaza right now, you’re either ignorant or intentionally hypocritical.

2005: Israel handed Gaza over on a silver platter. No “occupation”, no Israeli presence, nothing. 100% theirs. If they wanted anything other than dead Jews, they had the chance.

In what world is it normal to demand a country provide water and electricity to its enemy when there is clear evidence that they are using those water pipes to create rockets that then kill Israelis?

You’re worried about the electricity and water in Gaza? You can provide it. Don’t want to? Then keep your mouth shut.

They have nowhere to go those poor Palestinians? Why don’t you go look at a map? They have a border with Egypt. Let them take them in if they care so much.

Oh, Egypt doesn’t want them? Did you hear that? That was my heart breaking for them. Egypt can take them. They don’t want them? Not my problem.

You’re worried about a disproportionate response by Israel? Kindly tell me what a proportionate response would look like.

Because if we did what they did to us, that would require the murder, abduction, and rape of over a thousand people.

Is that what you’re recommending Israel does? Because that’s pretty sick of you.

And once and for all, we need to unequivocally reject the false narrative of “They’re not all Hamas supporters so Israel has no right to attack Gaza.”

A- The Palestinian people elected Hamas. Make up your mind. If they’re a people who you believe deserve a state then it’s time you held them accountable as a people. They elected Hamas. They will pay for that tragic decision.

B- The Palestinian people, not 100, 1,000, or 10,000 of them, give out candies when innocent Jews are murdered. Have you seen thousands of Palestinians speaking out against Hamas? I haven’t. Where are they? Their silence is all I need to know.

C- In every war in the history of the world, innocent people die. That fact, as sad as it might be, has zero relevance to whether the war is justified or not. Need I remind you how many innocent Germans died in WWII? Israel is fighting Nazis now. Zero difference. In war, innocent people die.

D- And finally, don’t come at me with the whole “They can’t speak out. Hamas will kill them.”

Where have we heard that before? “I was just fulfilling orders. I had no choice.”

Oh yes, that was what the Nazis said. It was not a legit argument then and it’s not a legit argument now.

What Israel experienced on October 7th was the equivalent of 9/11 times 50. Israel WILL retaliate accordingly and it will not stop no matter how much you throw your double standard at us.

We not only have every right to do whatever we can to obliterate Hamas, we have a moral obligation to do so.

You might not know this now, but a world without Hamas is a safer world for you and your children.

If you didn’t complain when ISIS was defeated, if you think WWII was justified in order to defeat the Nazis, then you can either stand with Israel while we cleanse the world of Hamas savages or you can go ahead and keep your mouth shut while we do the work from which you will benefit.

If you have any integrity at all, go read the charters of Hamas and the PLO. If you’re honest, ask yourself what “From the river to the sea” means. Look at a map if you can’t figure it out. It means no Israel. Do you support that? Throwing all Israelis into the sea? Because that’s what that means.

If you are still delusional enough to think they want a state, go Google The Partition Plan. They had one. They rejected it. Then google how many times Israel offered them a state.

And if, after all that, you still think the Palestinian’s agenda is anything other than total genocide of the Jewish people, congratulations, you have earned the privilege of being named a flaming antisemite who supports murder and rape.

I’m sure your mother is proud. 🤮

I don’t know the name of the Swedish man who came to the Israeli embassy in Sweden to lay down 900 roses in memory of the slaughtered victims, but I know I love him and hold him in my heart forever.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

Palestinian terrorists enter the home of an Israeli family & takes them hostage.

Then, fighting ensues between the terrorists and Israeli forces

The parents lay down on their children in an attempt to protect them with their own bodies

Any info on what happened to the family?
