The Israeli-Palestinian conflict: A store owner faces hooligans who throw rocks at his windows each night & claim his store is theirs. The police come and advise the owner to give up half his store to the hooligans. Store owner = Israel Hooligans = Palestinians Police = UN

@JoeTruzman I used to call Hamas “terrorists” before October 7th. After the massacre they perpetrated I understood they must be labeled as brute savages. After what they’ve done to our hostages over the past 15 months I now understand that they’re even worse than that. They’re pure evil.

I used to call Hamas "militants" before the war. After the attack, I understood they must be labeled as terrorists. Hamas forcing Eli Sherabi to say he was looking forward to seeing his wife & daughters when they knew that the family had been killed only reinforced my decision.

RT @Ostrov_A: Not one. Not a single one of them has spoke out today to condemn this gross act of evil!

One of the more frequent questions we receive is if we ever have a “family-only” Shabbos without guests. We have had them in the past but our family doesn’t enjoy them. It isn’t that we don’t enjoy each other’s company, it’s that we enjoy hosting and having interesting conversations with a diverse crowd. We find a table full of guests enhances our Shabbat. This Shabbat we experienced a first in 25 years of hosting. We had guests, a madricha from a seminary, a lone bat sherut, four young men studying in yeshiva, and a fascinating British new immigrant to Israel, and a dear family friend from Mitzpe Yericho, but none of our children stayed home for Shabbos! We’ve never had a Shabbos without any of our children. It was a strange experience, but it was also unique and showed us we can still host Shabbos on our own. We did miss our kids and I’m hoping this experience is never repeated again.

In this video on the weekly Torah portion I ask how much can we truly understand about God? The answer might surprise you.

@RabbiPoupko @ArielSchnabel @SivanRahav @MauriceHirsch4 @hanan_green @yankihebrew @elnatanSch @MeiriOmer I'm not sure how you can definitively say that. Do you really know the Haredi community that well and who they're asking their shailohs to?

The most important part of interpersonal relationships is thinking of other people. That’s the focus of this video on interpersonal relationships.

He sounds like he’s ready to compromise to implement a two-state solution.

@theross_man @TVietor08 You can’t find any evidence in Israeli text books of hatred of Arabs because there is none. Unlike Palestinian textbooks which are full of antisemitism. If you knew even a little about Israel you’d know this and not write such an obvious lie in public.

@Ostrov_A You can block them (upper right corner of their name) and then you won't see them in your feed again. I block 50 people a day. It works REALLY well.

We will always be stuck in a crisis as long as Palestinians continue to lbame leadership and refuse to take responsibility for the violent culture of their community. Palestinians are teaching their children to hate and kill Jews in their schools, Mosques, and homes today and everyday. There is no chance of peace until they change their culture from violence and worship of death to a desire to live. Stop blaming leadership and take some responsibility already!
The “day after” – for Gaza, and for the Palestinian people as a whole – must be Hamas-, Abbas-, and Bibi-free. If even one of them remains, we will stay stuck in this crisis.
