I refute the hijacking of my Jewish identity and the Holocaust by an occupation that has caused conflict for countless innocent people.
I am proud of my Jewish heritage and identity, proud to be the grandson of an Auschwitz survivor, and proud to stand against the occupation.
Tens of thousands of people are marching now in TLV against the criminal and bloody government of Netanyahu, Smotrich, and Ben Gvir, demanding from them to accept the deal for our hostages and a ceasefire.
Enough!

Fuck Netanyahu and fuck Khamenei.
Fuck Ben Gvir and fuck Sinwar.
One day, we will have real leaders who will grant us peace instead of perpetuating an eternal war.
Let's hope for that day when “Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, neither wasting nor destruction.”
Now in TLV:
Hundreds are marching with the anti-occupation/war bloc, chanting what everyone should be chanting all around the world:
'From the River to the Sea, Freedom and Equality.'
Hostage deal & Stop the war - Now!
BREAKING: The State Department will announce on Friday new sanctions against an Israeli organization which blocked aid convoys to Gaza, two U.S. officials told me
ח״כ צבי סוכות הקים סוכה ב-05.10 בחווארה ו-103 ימים אחרי, הוא מנהל דיון בועדה הפרטית שלו על ״שימור המזבח בהר עיבל״.
לא חטופים, ולא מפונים. לא כלכלה ולא ביטחון. לא צפון ולא דרום.
הקונספציה המשיחית של ממשלת האסון והחורבן לא השתנתה, ולא תשתנה אם לא נעיף אותם מהשלטון.
Nothing to see here, just Ben Gvir’s militias beating the hell out of Matan Zangauker's sister, while her mother tries to save her. She ended up in the hospital.
The Israeli government is clearly against the families of the hostages.
Thousands are marching now in Tel Aviv alongside families of hostages, advocating for the most important value: the value of life.
Enough dying.
Deal now!
תכירו את נשיא הסנאט האיטלקי, איגנציו לה רוסה, חברו הטוב של יו״ר הכנסת אמיר אוחנה.

עידן חדש ביחסי רומא-ירושלים 🇮🇱🤝🇮🇹
שמחתי לארח היום בכנסת את נשיא הסנאט האיטלקי איגנציו לה רוסה, שזה לו הביקור הרשמי הראשון כראש הסנאט מחוץ לאירופה.
ההצהרות ששמעתי ממנו היום מדגימות את עוצמת הקשר שלו למדינת ישראל ולעם היהודי, ומלמדות שעידן חדש ביחסי איטליה-ישראל בא לעולם!
Where were you when Gadi Kedem, the father and grandfather of this family that was murdered on October 7th, was violently attacked by Israeli supporters of Netanyahu’s regime last night in Tel Aviv?
Why did you stay silent?
Israel situation report:
🚨 Gaza war stuck
🚨 No hostage deal in sight
🚨 Iran & proxies prepare for attack on Israel

TLV NOW: The anti-war/occupation bloc is chanting, "A political agreement is the only solution."
Because war is not the solution. And it never was. And it never will be.

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.”

A girl was arrested tonight in TLV after she yelled "Ben Gvir is a criminal!"
So here is my message:
Ben Gvir is not just a criminal, but also a supporter of terrorism, a bigot, a racist, a Kahanist, a scumbag, and an utter disgrace to our country and its people.

Benjamin Netanyahu complains about violent and antisemitic protests on US university campuses. Yet, he spearheaded a wave of protests back in 1995 that led to the assassination of PM Yitzhak Rabin - and he never took responsibility nor repented for that either.
Watch:
The two-state solution was assassinated on November 4, 1995, and has been buried by Benjamin Netanyahu over the past 30 years.
Now the two-state solution is resurging, while Netanyahu is fading away.
Ethiopian Jews, also known as Beta Israel (formerly derogatorily called Falasha), expressed solidarity with European Jews during the Holocaust. The Palestine Post reported in 1943 that they offered to welcome them into their towns.
🚨 EMERGENCY APPEAL TO THE JEWISH DIASPORA 🚨
Relatives of the hostages Ayala Metgzer, Neta Heiman, and Zahiro-Shahar Mor, were arrested by Ben Gvir's militias, also known as the Israeli police.
They were taken to the police station for interrogation.

What Hamas did on 07.10 is unforgivable.
Peace activists were killed, like Vivian Silver, and many others were kidnapped. Maoz Inon's parents were killed too.
Maoz and Yonatan, Vivian's son, have been advocating for peace and reconciliation since then.
And the time has come.
"Be leaders, make bold decisions. Withdraw the army that tonight decided to enter Rafah. The far-right-wing government is ready to sacrifice our soldiers, our hostages, for their seats."
Einav Zangauker - her son Matan is still in Gaza.
Listen to her.
Solidarity is a verb.
Hundreds of peace activists planted today dozens of trees in the village of Burin, in the occupied West Bank. We came to stand in solidarity with the Palestinians in response to settler violence.

Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “There are 2 million Nazis in Gaza who want to slaughter, rape, and murder every Jew. If the local population takes control there, it will be a terrorist organization.“
This is dehumanization at its worst.
EVERYONE must stand against this government.

Israel's most watched news show, former Likud MP Moshe Feiglin invokes ***Hitler*** to justify Gaza resettlement:
"As Hitler said, 'I cannot live if one Jew is left,' we can't live here if one 'Islamo-nazi' remains in Gaza."
"The Israeli army is asking people if they are Christian or Muslim. If you’re Muslim you weren’t allowed in." -

Israeli occupation forces are attacking Palestinians during the funeral of killed Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
“People look at us and think we're divided because you're Israeli and I’m Palestinian. But if you must divide, divide us as those who believe in justice, peace and equality, and those who don’t—yet."

Magda Obaid was 61 years old when she was killed this morning in Jenin. I’m pretty sure she wasn’t a Jihadist.
What you are doing is against every basic Jewish and human value.
I'm sorry, but there is no possible way to justify this.
The truth is that there are 7 million Jews and 7 million Palestinians between the river and the sea, and I am convinced that the majority of us want to live.
I am sure that most Israelis and Palestinians, want to see their children grow up in peace, in security, and in equality.

Total support for Hamze.
It is clear to everyone that the Israeli government, led by Smotrich, Ben Gvir, and Netanyahu, cares more about annexation and perpetual war than the security and well-being of its own citizens.
Everyone must oppose and condemn this criminal government of total destruction.
The Security Cabinet discussed steps to strengthen settlement in Judea & Samaria, including in response to the countries that unilaterally recognized a Palestinian state after Oct 7, as well as series of responses against the PA following its actions against Israel in intl bodies
אי אפשר להמשיך ככה. באמת שאי אפשר.
אנשים חפצי חיים במדינה הזאת חייבים לקום ולדרוש את הפסקת המלחמה ההרסנית הזאת ועסקה לשחרור החטופים באופן מיידי.

Daniel Kahneman, Israeli-American Nobel-Prize winning psychologist and economist, passed away today at the age of 90.
Here are some words from him on peace, hope, and leadership.
We need leaders who can lead us to peace, not leaders who lead us into perpetual war.
But don't let this video confuse you.
Many of us were attacked, physically and verbally, by passersby. We were spat on, had eggs thrown at us, and the only police officer in the area told me:
"You need to understand that protesting here for these reasons puts you in danger.”
Netanyahu will never accept an alternative to Hamas in Gaza. His political survival depends on a perpetual war and the survival of Hamas.
It is no coincidence that he has strengthened and bolstered them for so many years.
But there is no alternative to a political solution.
After almost eight months of war, Israel hasn't achieved its goals. Security hasn't been restored, Hamas hasn't been dismantled, and 128 hostages remain in Gaza.
Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Katz, and their bloody government are the biggest threat to our country.
They must go. Now.
I have instructed the immediate recall of Israel’s ambassadors to Ireland and Norway for consultations in light of these countries' decisions to recognize a Palestinian state.
I’m sending a clear and unequivocal message to Ireland and Norway: Israel will not remain silent in the
Given the fact that civil and equal rights will never be given to Palestinians living under occupation, it seems that the official solution adopted by our parliament is a regime of Jewish supremacy, from the river to the sea.
It’s either two states or one apartheid state.
BREAKING: The Israeli Knesset passed a resolution opposing the two state solution. 68 members of Knesset (including Benny Gantz and his party) voted in favor. Only 9 members of Knesset voted against. This is the first time in history that the Knesset passes such a resolution

After 200 days, the government of total destruction still holds power.
They have offered us nothing but perpetual war, fear, and violence. But if we truly seek security and peace, we must demand the opposite: peace, justice, and hope.
They must go.
The Netanyahu government helped prop up Hamas, opened the door to 10/7 through gross negligence, conducted a war without a strategy in Gaza that has achieved none of its goals, committed serial war crimes in Gaza and undermined for decades to come Israel's standing in the world..

Families of hostages and dozens of Israelis are protesting outside the Kempinski Hotel where Blinken is staying, calling for a hostage deal and a ceasefire.
We don’t want no more war.
We want them alive - today, now!

They might say that they care about Israel, but they don’t give a shit about Israelis.
Eurovision said it was “too political.”
But tonight, our Queen, Eden Golan, who heroically faced off the haters of Europe, performed ‘October Rain’, the song that should’ve won Eurovision, for the first time in public, at the Tel Aviv Hostages Square rally.
Sparta was not a democracy; it was a militaristic oligarchy ruled by two kings and a council of elders.
