ברגעים אלו ממש אמא של מיכאל טיוקין ז"ל קוברת את בנה היחיד, איתו היא עלתה ארצה מאוקראינה לפני 6 שנים, אבל לאלחנן נשבר הלב כ�� צעירים בריאים שהחליטו להשתמט משירות צבאי בניגוד לחוק - נעצרים על כך.

אוי הניתוק.

BREAKING: Author of U.N. report placing Israel on sexual violence blacklist admits she has not personally viewed any evidence. “I made it clear to Israel I would not visit any detention facility, even if offered. It's not the responsibility of my office to do any verification.”

[Alex Gandler @AlexGandler]

Watch how the cycle works:

1. An allegation is made.
2. Journalists report the allegation.
3. NGOs cite the reporting.
4. The UN cites the NGOs.
5. A strongly worded report is issued.
6. Everyone cites the UN report.

By the end, an unverified claim has been transformed into an accepted "fact" through repetition rather than evidence.

This is what antisemitism has always looked like. Take successful companies, list them out, add “Jewish,” pretend you discovered something.

Relative to native-born Americans, several countries' immigrants to America have produced vastly greater rates of unicorn founders.

In particular, Israel: with shockingly few people in the U.S., Israel is the #2 origin *in total* for foreign Unicorn founders.

Let me break this down for you

Last week @NickKristof wrote an article alleging that Israel was systematically raping Palestinians

The primary source was Euro-Med

Which was founded and is chaired by Ramy Abdu

Who is allegedly standing next to Ismail Haniyeh in this photo (Hamas' former leader)

Dear the @nytimes you have some explaining to do

And I hope @Israel goes forward with its lawsuit

The article was a blood libel

@DropSiteNews Historical photos show definitively that when Jordan invaders captured Jerusalem in 1948, it expelled all the indigenous Jews, seized their property and razed their dwellings.

[Adam Mossoff @AdamMossoff]

If you ever wondered how German society went from mildly socially antisemitic to Kristalnacht to industrialized genocide in 12 years (1930-1942), you're witnessing it now. Mass propaganda and libels based in ideology of collectivism and nihilism is a key part of how it works.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

If you want to know why all the deeply silly “dog rape” stories were published this week, it’s because the paid pro-Palestinian influencer squad were ordered to get ahead of this, genuine horror story.

I’ve covered every Eurovision contest for the past decade, so let me be direct, beyond the explosive headline, this “inside story” has very little in it.

Israel is hardly the only participating country that treats Eurovision as a PR opportunity. The piece itself admits no rules were broken and the integrity of the vote wasn’t compromised.

Eurovision’s voting system is built on voting for a country, not against one. Israel may be actively promoting itself, but per the NYT’s own reporting, the audience is voting for Israel of its own free will. I can hardly see the scandal. That’s how the contest works.

Wow wow wow. Take a minute to watch these incredibly powerful remarks from a Rabbi in London.

I’ll add - if you’ve never had to send a loved one an “are you ok?” text after yet another attack, kindly stfu.

[Ahmed Al-Khalidi @khalidi79397]

Today, a man ran through Golders Green, a Jewish neighborhood in London, stabbing Jews outside a synagogue in broad daylight.

The UK PM called it "utterly appalling."

Here's what's actually appalling:

For two years, Western streets have hosted marches calling for the elimination of Israel. Universities have celebrated it. Politicians have legitimized it. The media has normalized it.

You don't get to spend two years mainstreaming the idea that Jews and their state have no right to exist and then act shocked when someone takes the message literally.

Words have consequences. "From the river to the sea" isn't poetry. "Globalize the intifada" isn't a metaphor.

When you spend years telling the world that Jewish presence in the Middle East or in Golders Green is a problem to be solved, don't be surprised when someone shows up with a knife to solve it.

The ideology and the blade are the same weapon. One just has a longer handle.

If yes, it means your government joined in the nomination of Iran to a UN committee dealing with women's rights and terrorism prevention.

Your MP should formally ask the government to answer why they did such a terrible thing.
