Hezbollah is firing rockets into Israel since Oct 7th. Literally for no reason. And yet, NOBODY is pressuring Hezbollah for a ceasefire. Wonder why that is.
A prediction. If and When Iran fires hundreds of missiles at Israeli civilians for the killing of one man (a mass murderer) not one Western pundit will talk about “proportionality”. Not one will accuse Iran of a “disproportionate” response. Save this tweet.
Have you noticed?
Because Jews suffer, now they have the moral obligation to behave like saints.
Because Palestinians suffer, they have the moral impunity to behave like monsters.
Israeli athletes are about to face what could be the most antisemitic Olympic games since the Berlin Olympics of 1936.
Support them in any way you can.
I was in a taxi and the driver starts telling me about how Jews control the government, banks, media, etc.
I said "you're right, we do; and if we control all that, imagine what we can do to you, now I have your name and license number".
He was very polite for the rest of the trip
Today, 31 years ago, terrorists blew up the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires. I was among the young people sifting through the rubble, trying to find survivors. I still have nightmares about it. I can never forget, and neither should you.
The entire world should be demanding the immediate release of all hostages without pre-conditions, in exchange for anything. Taking them, raping them, and torturing them is a war crime, not a negotiating chip.
@RAGING_RABBI
This reminds me of my visit to Spain. You see ancient synagogues that are now churches and the plaque says "this building ceased to be used as a synagogue in 1492 and was repurposed as a church". The Jews got bored of praying there and told the church, "here, please, you have it"
When rashida tlaib wins with 90% out of state money, it’s a commendable national fundraising grassroots effort. When an
@AIPAC
backed candidate, it’s the Jews buying a seat.
No civilian can carry an assault rifle. These are soldiers who, by regulation, can’t leave their weapons even to go tot the bathroom. And, Actually, it’s because people like you want to kill us all.
Your daily reminder, no university was "camped" to defend Roe v Wade, or to increase the minimum wage, or for universal health care. Needless to say, not for 600K murdered Syrians, or Uyghurs or Iranian women... Attacking Israel and Jews is more important than any other issue...
Wikipedia saying that
@adl
isn't an authority on antisemitism is like saying that the NCAAP is not an authority on racism. Make no mistake, this is NOT abt how good the ADL data is. it's abt Jews being the ONLY minority that can't define what is bigotry against them.
Did you know that today 33 Muslims were killed by other Muslims in Afghanistan? Compared that with how much you heard about the riots at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem - in which there were no fatalities. Yup, I rest my case.
Saturday night, 19 years old in America are out, partying, having fun. 19 years old in Israel are fighting and dying so that every Jew in the world can be safe. If you’re Jewish and don’t support them eternal shame on you.
EVERY attack on Israel follows the same pattern.
Israel is attacked when Arabs break an existing ceasefire. Israel responds, and when she starts to win, the world forces a ceasefire. Let's break the cycle and win. I'd rather be criticized and alive than a pitied corpse.
@Ostrov_A
Or maybe, just maybe, it's the response of Bibi giving Biden the finger time and again, hoping for a crisis with the US that lets him present himself as "the one who's standing to the Americans". Just maybe
Only 7% of Australians support Hamas in the war. 70% opposes a ceasefire that would leave Hamas in place. The numbers are similar in most Western countries. Time for the silent majorities to make their voices heard. Time for Jews and lovers of humanity to lift up those voices.
@davidhazony
David, Sinwar calculated one thing right: the world’s reaction against Israel. When you hate Jews you understand hatred against them in a way we don’t. He knew there’ll be this backlash against Jews for wanting to live. he was right. For us in incomprehensible, for him obvious.
Can anybody forward me
@amnesty
condemnation of the terror attacks in Israel that killed Arabs, Jews and Christians? Can't find it. I'm sure I'm not looking properly. I mean, it can't be that they don't care, right? RIGHT?
If you needed any further proof that South Africa's complaint to the ICJ against Israel is pure bullshit and hypocrisy: Here's Hemedti, the mass murderer of Sudan whose militia killed 400,000 people being received in triumph in Pretoria. YESTERDAY!
@BenMFreeman
Ben, can a Black person condemn the enslavement of Blacks in America without also condemning the enslavement of Slavs in Turkey? So you don't have to be defensive about centering on the suffering of your people. Jews are the only ones asked to universalize their suffering.
Some Jews say we shouldn’t use the term “Zionism” because it’s “controversial”. Then Biden goes to Israel and says, unabashedly, “I’m a Zionist”. He puts us to shame. We should learn. Zionism is a term we should be very proud of. If POTUS can, we can too!
There are 750000 at midnight in the streets. This is equivalent of 35 million people in the US. I’ve never been so proud of the Israeli people. Never prouder to be a Zionist.
Murderers went house from house in the kibbutz, setting them on fire with the people inside. 80 years old woman I know killed in that monstrous way. Hamas is pure evil and if you "understand" it, you're evil too.
So let me understand this, 5 seconds after an Israeli air strike Hamas can tell us exactly how many people died, their names, professions, and ages, but 150 days after kidnapping them, they don't know how many hostages are alive?

@DaniaRajendra
and I co-wrote this piece for
@inthesetimesmag
, naming the splits within Jewish community re ceasefire & antisemitism; but more importantly looking at the ways the left, very much including Jews, have come together during this nightmare
Here’s the sweet revenge: the “antizionists” are causing the biggest revival of Zionism since 1948. Jews realize that they aren’t safe anywhere but at least in Israel we can fight back
Besides being an antisemite, you're an ignorant. The President of Israel doesn't speak on behalf of the government, especially this prez, who's vocal against the govt. But it's not relevant for you... you don't really hate the govt, you hate the very existence of the state.
@RashidaTlaib
Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s address comes on behalf of the most right wing government in Israel’s history, at a time when the government is openly promising to “crush” Palestinian hopes of statehood—essentially putting a nail in the coffin of peace and a two-state solution.
BREAKING: Hamas has rejected an Israeli offer to release all hostages taken into the Gaza Strip in exchange for the release of 1,500 Palestinians from Israeli prisons.

It took u a week and public shaming to finally say something. And NO, they weren't murdered by "the same patriarchal forces etc...", they were murdered by specific forces and a very specific regime or fascist theocrats, imperialists, holocaust-denying antisemites. Shame on you.
@ZubyMusic
The unvaxed weren't demonized, there were called out for being irresponsible and selfish, and that's an accurate description. The antivaxers, on the other hand, were not demonized enough.
Hamas destroyed so much... There was no "blockade" of Gaza when Hamas wasn't firing rockets at Israel or sending suicide bombers. Israel had agreed to an airport, a port and virtually open borders. Hamas destroyed it all
25 years on this day: President Bill Clinton inaugurated the Gaza international airport.
Clinton celebrated the fact that Gaza would become a place “which the Palestinian people are connected to the world.”
“These changes will make a difference in many Palestinian lives.”
350 rockets were fired indiscriminately on Israeli civilians. Not a single one was fired on a military target. Not one. But for

@shannonrwatts
For the advocates of the "good guy with a gun". A man goes into a mall with an AR15, you literally need to wait until he starts shooting random people to see if he's a good or a bad guy.
A reminder that while most don't care, Haredi Jews are attacked every day for being "visible Jewish". Every one of those attacks is a shame for all of us.

Conversely, every Briton has free high quality health care and education, almost free college and can send their kids to school without them being shot. They also have a 5 weeks vacation and most can afford a trip to Spain or Portugal. You can keep the automatic transmission.

"What happened?", YOU happened, you Putin lover fascist. People said, "If Tucker Carlson,Trump and MJT represents "true conservatism", I'll vote Dem". Yet something tells me you won't get the message, will you? Self-criticism is not your strong suit.
@zenrealtornyc
Care to mention why? It wasn't "besieging" it before Hamas started firing rockets and a siege mean total lockdown. Doesn't Gaza have a border with Egypt? Care to mention that too? Wonder why wasn't Egypt attacked.
Make no mistake, any other country would have flattened a hospital being used as a military base. They would simply dropped a 2 ton bomb on it and that’s it. Israel is exercising more caution than any other country in the same situation.
@shannonrwatts
I've said it times again: as horrific as mass shootings are, this is undercounted, and it's a huge tragedy: bc of the abundance of guns, every minor altercation can (and does) turn deadly. In any other country, this ends with a black eye at most. Here, people die.
@_Goldwasser_
We keep hearing from the woke crowd that intent doesn't matter, what matters is how it's perceived by those who feel hurt by it. Well, here's an example: for most Jews, this is the association this evokes. If they keep using it, they do it knowingly, and purposefully

True, but why only Jewish? I mean if you are a Gentile, are you ok paying 87k for your kid to not study and become a bigot and an ignoramus? Why would anybody want to go to Columbia?
@Ostrov_A
The resolution is a nothing sandwich. it's the same proposal that Israel made: temp ceasefire for hostages. Biden gave Bibi a virtual blank check for 6 mos. More than any other US president. He's signaling his distrust of Bibi -which is well deserved. It's all on Bibi. All of it
418-0-1: House approved a bipartisan resolution condemning rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas in its war against Israel. Tlaib (D-MI) voted Present.
@_ZachFoster
Thanks for making our case. The term “Palestine” has been in use since the late 19th century. The term Eretz Israel since at least 1300 BCE
This fascist clown, terror convict, who didn't serve in the IDF, makes the lives of real soldiers harder and endanger their lives. What are we waiting to get rid of him?
It appears that another statement from Linda Sarsour on Iran just dropped: "Yes, the images are strong, but we must understand that imposing Western notions of democracy and freedom on Iran is colonialist. Iranian women are unwitting agents of an imperialist project"
Stop the pearl-clutching. The US opines on the democratic situation of its allies, from Brazil to Hungary, to Turkey to France. Israel is not unique. Instead of the moral panic, ask yourselves why a man that has been a friend of Israel for 50 years is so concerned about her now.
Totally horrendous that a Jew gives 400 million dollars to cure cancer. I mean, really, do you need anything else to prove that Jews are evil? What are they going to do next? create a vaccine against polio?... Oh wait! they did that too the monsters!
Sloan Kettering accepted a *400 million dollar donation* from billionaire Zionist Ken Griffin, the largest in their history. This was *after* he threatened pro-Palestine student activists at Harvard with revoked job offers. Our medical institutions are not innocent bystanders.
Don't you love it when antisemites say "the world is 'turning' on Israel", as if they used to love us before Oct 7th?
The people who say that aren't "turning" on us, they always hated us.
Imagine a racist who looked really hard & found a Black person willing to wave a confederate flag. Then they tell everybody he represents the "true" Black opinion... Well, that's pretty similar to taking antizionist Jews and elevate them as the representatives of "true" Judaism
The entire administration has blood on its hands. Israel is not acting counter to their interests. It has their full blessing and backing.
This is a horror show
OMG, the cruelty of these people is boundless. And of course, in the name of justice, equity, and human rights.
How can any person see this and not be horrified?
WATCH: A San Francisco Jewish man bravely shares his experiences with antisemitism after losing five family members at Kibbutz Be'eri, including two kidnapped by Hamas, only to be met with boos and jeers from anti-Israel activists.
WOW... this explains a lot. A whole lot. Note the contributions to the school of politics and school of journalism... Basically, elite American universities teach politics and journalism funded by Qatar.
Haaretz: Why Is the Cruel Sexual Violence of the October 7 Hamas Attack Being Ignored?
I mean, we all know the answer… not one of the “icons of feminism” has said anything about this. Never forget their betrayal.
@Jim_Jordan
You forgot to say that they believe that because you told them so. So maybe tell them the truth, that 70 judges, the AG and auditors looked at the charges and found them false instead of throwing my gasoline to the fire.
Let’s stop the cynicism for a minute and consider what’s going on in DC today. The head of a sovereign and free Jewish State is received with honors by the mightiest country in history. A proud Jew stands before the world. It’s the stuff of prophecy. Let’s count our blessings.
I appreciate this, but the real test of political courage is calling out antisemitism on your own side. I'll applaud you when I see you condemning fellow squad members for their biased comments. We need allies that condemn bigotry when it's NOT politically expedient.
There is absolutely no room in this country or world for antisemitism. It is important to see how harmful + dangerous Kanye’s words are - not only to our Jewish brothers, sisters, & siblings, but also to our collective society at large.
We must reject this 🚮 wherever we see it.

Oh, yes, sorry my bad, that's why antisemitism is up 400% in America, 1300% in Britain, "pro-Palestinians" sang "gas the Jews" in Sydney & every synagogue in the US received bombs. Yup, nothing to do with Jews.

Purges invariably result in lowering the quality of the army even further. Even Stalin knew that, in '41 he brought Rokosowski back from Siberia. He famously asked him
"where have you been comrade?"
"In Siberia"
"You choose quite a time to visit Siberia"
Priceless
It’s absolutely baffling how there’s no demand to release the hostage immediately and without conditions. Think about it: Now taking civilian hostages, raping and torturing them is a legitimate practice over which we hold lengthy negotiations. It’s just unbelievable.

Sin opinar sobre esto, aclaro que los judios si hicieron la lista de los 6 millones. Hay una database que junta nombres y ya tiene 4.8 millones. Cada persona es un mundo y por eso substanciar cifras es importante, porque toda persona tiene un nombre.

Statement from

just dropped. "We wish to clarify our president's statements: We are a venerable institution that respects tradition. Calling for the genocide of Jews is an old tradition, embraced by key historical figures across centuries, so we are bound to respect it."

So basically, what she said is that calling for the genocide of Jews is wrong "depending on the context", meaning, there are contexts in which that's totally fine.

@thenation
Yes, you can be sure that a Hamas run “one state” will be democratic, gay and women friendly and Jews will be safe. Not antisemitic at all.

The death in custody of Walid Daqqa, a 62-year-old Palestinian writer who was the longest-serving Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jails after 38 years of imprisonment, is a cruel reminder of Israel’s disregard for Palestinians’ right to life ⬇️
