- The premier international forum for Israel focused dialogue, discussion & debate. Views are mine. RTs not endorsements.
It is up to Israel to determine if there will be a ceasefire and no one else.
Public opinion and the media will not dictate Israel's safety and security policies!
I don’t want you to stand with Israel because of our democracy or our technological advances, I want you to stand with Israel because you believe the Jewish People have a right to exist and live peacefully in their homeland.
Every single Israeli government since 1967 has asserted that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital, we don’t need other countries' approval to select our own capital city.
Hamas deliberately & systematically places military targets within the civilian population, exposing their citizens to danger.
The IDF attaches paramount importance to accuracy and reducing harm to civilians.
Standing with Israel is standing with decency & democracy.
When other countries say they want to wipe Israel off the face of the map, they aren’t bluffing. That’s why Israel must always put their security and safety first.
Israel is not an infallible country, but they are by far one of the most humane, free, and democratic nations throughout the globe.
Claims stating otherwise are falsehoods peddled by those interested in delegitimizing the only true democracy in the Middle East.
Allowing Iran to acquire nuclear weapons is pure insanity.
Why would anyone support a terrorist state having weapons that can mass murder at the click of a button?
Israel isn’t asking other nations to support their efforts in wars.
Israel isn’t asking other nations to bail them out financially.
Israel is asking other nations to recognize our right to exist with our undivided capital city of Jerusalem.
This should not be controversial.
The Iron Dome is an incredible, life saving innovation. Watch it in use here, saving the lives of Israeli citizens of all faiths in this incredible video.
As Hamas seeks the blood of innocents, Israel innovates in order to preserve life!”
#StandWithIsrael
The Hamas terror org's co-founder, Mahmoud al-Zahar told UK's Sky News in a rare interview that Israel has "no right to exist."
Zahar openly admitted Hamas purposely fires rockets on Israeli civilian areas.
Jihadists cannot be negotiated with.
UPDATE: The IDF conducted a 3rd round of strikes against the Hamas tunnel system in the northern Gaza Strip.
Approximately 35 terror targets and 15 kilometers of the tunnel system were struck by 54 IDF fighter jets.
Hamas' underground terror infrastructure will be demolished!
Israel has never had any aims of conquest in the region. The IDF has always focused on DEFENDING the State of Israel from those who seek its destruction.
You really just have to shake your head every time the EU has the audacity to condemn the State of Israel for defending themselves.
The same countries that enabled the murder of 6 million Jews have no moral basis from which to lecture Israel.
When the President of Iran talks about removing Israel from the face of the Earth and is building nuclear bombs with a range of 3000km, we must take those threats seriously.
Iran’s mission has remained unchanged for decades: the destruction of Israel.
Without the State of Israel, the Jewish People will not be safe.
As long as the Jewish people have a place to turn to, the future of the Jewish people will always be secured.
Other nations don’t have the authority to “punish Israel”
We are not a colony.
Israel is an independent state in charge of our own future - forever more.
The United Nations just elected Iran to the "Commission on the Status of Women."
This a slight to all women who are treated like 2nd class citizens by the oppressive Iranian Regime.
This is yet another example of the parallel nature of the universe inhabited by the UN.
The Israeli Air Force has destroyed the Islamic National Bank in Gaza.
Good.
We must cut off the funding source for the terrorism raining down on innocent Israeli civilians!
If you're criticizing Israel, and your primary issue is that it should not exist, that's anti-Semitism.
It's more than criticizing Israeli policy, it’s criticizing the very existence of Israel.
The vast majority of people around the world who criticize Israeli policy have never been to the State of Israel and most likely know very little about it. Simple ignorance.
The USA and Israel have a proud history of working together to bring stability to the Middle East.
Blocking the sale of over $700 million in defense capabilities for Israel will destabilize the region and embolden terror orgs.
Bernie Sanders and AOC work to sow instability.
Watch as more rockets are launched at Israel from Gaza.
While the Iron Dome intercepts most, in rare instances like this, several are able to pass through.
Israel cannot act as the region's punching bag. We must thwart the attacks being waged at us.
The Iran Deal (JCPOA) was good for terrorists in Iran and across the Middle East, no one else.
It put Israel and our allies in harm's way. We must never return to that deal!
The international community does not have the authority to dictate how Israel defends itself and they certainly do not have the power to choose Israel’s capital city or to define our borders.
Israel is a sovereign nation just like any other, the world must treat it as such.
Honduras moved its Israel Embassy to Jerusalem making them the 4th country to do so.
This is another huge stride in the right direction. One day we hope to see all foreign embassies located in Israel’s capital city, Jerusalem.
When Israel tells the world that we're being attacked with rockets heading toward our citizens, we mean it.
This shocking video footage displays the intensifying situation in Israel.
Pray for Israel, Support Israel, & DEFEND our right to live peacefully in our homeland!
When sitting Members of Congress compare the democratic State of Israel to Hamas and the Taliban you really have to be concerned.
That’s a comparison that is beyond reprehensible and it cannot be indulged or defended.
Over 600 rockets have now been fired from Gaza at Israel.
The Iron Dome malfunctioned at one point during the barrages.
We have suffered damage to our country and deaths to our innocent civilians.
Israel will defend itself above all else and we will not be shamed for doing so.
Asking for the Israeli people to be free to live in peace and security should not be too much. It should be the standard minimum for every country.
Yet Israel is criticized by the ICC and the UN on a regular basis for simply existing.
President Trump and the US made the right decision by killing Soleimani, a known terrorist with hands soaked in the blood of THOUSANDS of innocent lives.
There is always risk in taking out terrorists, but this man was no diplomat or revered soldier, he was an evil terrorist.
David Dushman, the world’s last known surviving Auschwitz liberator died recently at the age of 98.
May he rest in eternal peace and may we NEVER forget the atrocities against humanity that happened in Auschwitz-Birkenau.
WATCH: The IDF strikes a tunnel belonging to Hamas terrorists in southern Gaza.
The terror tunnel was positioned by Hamas in between a mosque and a children's school, again demonstrating the depraved tactics of these terrorists.
The IDF explicitly seeks to harm terrorists, not innocent civilians.
A large portion of the deaths in Gaza have come from errant Hamas rockets.
Over 400 of the 3,000+ rockets launched from Gaza by Hamas have malfunctioned and struck Palestinians.
The terrorists in Gaza are now attacking Tel Aviv, our largest city.
With over 600 rockets having been launched at Israel's capital Jerusalem, we can expect much of the same in Tel Aviv.
This is an all out assault on our existence, the IDF and Israel will defend ourselves.
Anti-Semitism is not just Europe’s problem, or Africa’s problem, or the Middle East’s problem.
It is alive and well in all regions of the world and it is our duty to always expose it and denounce it no matter what.
The UN would rather spend its time and resources condemning Israel than condemning Israel’s neighbors for funding terrorism across the world. How appalling!
Re-entering the Iran Deal only hurts Israel and our ability to secure our homeland.
Iran has explicitly stated they want to wipe Israel off the map.
We cannot let Iran develop these weapons of mass destruction.
The ICC is out of bounds with their attacks on the State of Israel -- defending your right to exist in your homeland is not a war crime.
This is yet another perversion of justice aimed at delegitimizing the ONLY Jewish state.
BREAKING NEWS: Bahrain has announced they will establish full diplomatic relations with Israel.
This is a historic moment for Israel and for the entire region.
Bahrain is the 2nd gulf nation to normalize relations w/ Israel in the last month.
Wonderful day for both countries.
The Israeli Defense Forces have a legacy of courage and decency.
Criticisms of the IDF are rarely focused on the facts and often rooted in ignorance.
I don’t just stand with the IDF, I THANK every IDF soldier for their service and commitment.
The State of Israel will not allow Hamas to intimidate our people and destroy our great nation's celebration.
This is an assault on Jerusalem, Israel, our traditions and our democracy.
WATCH: Terrorist Rocket Strikes Israel Neighborhood Causing Explosion & Damage
This video footage is from civilians on the ground in Israel right now. May G-d bring peace to Jerusalem!
There must never be any situation or scenario where Iran can achieve nuclear capabilities.
The world’s largest state sponsor of terror cannot have weapons of mass destruction at their disposal!
Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization that targets innocent civilians and uses force to achieve their goals.
Israel is a respected democracy that follows international law and uses restraint when defending itself.
There is no equivalency.
Israel’s children shouldn't have to take cover from rocket fire in the Old City on Jerusalem Day, or any day, but that's the type of brutality and heartlessness with which Hamas operates.
There is no moral equivalency to Israel a peaceful nation, and Hamas a brutal terrorist organization.
Standing with Hamas is supporting terrorists who are launching rockets at civilians.
Standing with Israel is supporting a peace seeking nation who is DEFENDING their country.
Hamas isn't just a terrorist organization, they're a genocidal organization.
There is no comparison or equivalency to be made between Hamas and Israel.
There is no rational reason to support Iran over the State of Israel. One is the largest state sponsors of terror while Israel is the only legitimate democracies in the Middle East.
Iran’s mission is to wipe Israel off the face of the map -- they have made this known for decades.
Their mission is not going to change after the removal of Soleimani either, and we must remain committed to policies that prevent Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon!
We are proud that Israel sent an IDF team to help with the rescue efforts in Miami.
With dozens still tragically missing, many of whom are within the Jewish community, Israel is committed to saving the lives of Jewish and non-Jewish members of the greater American community.
WATCH: IDF fighter jets struck a Hamas tunnel shaft in the southern Gaza Strip, which contained servers and military equipment.
The Hamas infrastructure was placed directly between a mosque and school, once again exposing the depravity of the Hamas terror organization.
Israel cannot tolerate a situation in which Iran has effective control of Biological or Nuclear weapons that can be used directly against the state of Israel.
Iran is a major threat to the well-being of Europe and America just as it is for the state of Israel.
What is directed at Israel will surely make its way to the United States and the rest of the Western World.
