בקרב הנורא על תל פאחר, ניסו לוחמי גולני לפוצץ גדר תיל עם מטען צינור. הפיצוץ לא צלח. דויד שירזי ז״ל נשכב על הגדר וחבריו עברו על גבו. לאחר מכן, הוא קם ,הסתער על עמדה סורית ונורה בראשו.
לאחר מוצו קיבל את עיטור הגבורה.
היום היו אומרים עליו הביביסטים שהוא עבר על הנוהל הצה״לי. איזה חבורה עלובה.

This is Aner Shapira. Aner was a special forces soldier who attended the Nova party while on vacation. He hid in the shelter with many other young party-goers, manning the door and calming everyone down.

Aner threw back every grenade thrown into the shelter by terrorists saving countless life, until one eventually killed him.

Before he was hit, he explained to other people what to do and how to throw back the grenades in case he doesn't make it.

You didn’t believe Jewish babies were decapitated, even when there was eye witness testimony & photos.

You did believe Israel was responsible for the hospital attack, with zero evidence & when it was proven it was not Israel you stayed silent.

You just hate Jews.

@EpiEllie I wish we didn’t have to. But when Hamas barbarically attacked, kidnapped, raped, tortured, and murdered innocent men, women and children - we are left with no choice but to defend ourselves. We said never again and we mean it.

This. This thread captures what so many Jewish people feel right now. It's the reason my parents left their comfortable lives in Canada, to live in the only country in the world where jews can defend themselves.

[Daniella Greenbaum Davis @DGreenbaum]

Thread: My grandparents came to this country fleeing persecution. They came here bc it was safe to be a Jew. Bc their children could walk on the Street with a Magen Dovid or a kipa and not fear for their lives. They moved to this country bc their own countrymen wanted them dead.

@Epi_D_Nique I am in public health and Israeli. My country has a right to defend itself. Hamas has launched thousands of rockets at me and my family targeting innocent civilians. I cannot be silent when people stand with a terrorist-led regime.

Excellent analysis of Israel's COVID-19 situation by @segal_eran

[Eran Segal @segal_eran]

Israel: What went wrong?

How did we come to lead the COVID-19 cases chart? What caused the 2nd wave, why was it so bad, and is the lockdown working?

A thread on Israel, the first country to impose a second lockdown, with lots of (don’t do) lessons to teach the world

3. I was asked “were you born in the USA?” By the staff. I asked if this was an optional question. They said “it is mandatory & required by our funding agency.” @MassGovernor This is a great program, but we need assurances these data are not being given to ICE or DHS.

1.כשלונה של ממשלת ישראל בטיפולה במשבר הקורונה הולך ומתברר בכל יום, למימדים של מחדל לאומי. במאי המלצנו ב INSS על תחקיר ללימוד לקחים, עכשו כבר נדרשת ועדת חקירה ממלכתית.

If you made it this far, I’m super impressed. I’d love to hear your feedback on this paper.

If anyone needs a little break from Covid-19 news and wants to hear a bit about inter-pregnancy intervals and long-term maternal health, and some interesting method issues we faced along the way, please join me. 1/n

In order to assess the robustness of this choice, we also assessed women’s mean and minimum interval to see how this would impact our results. The findings were similar across these analyses. 8/n
