Proud Jew. Living in our homeland. UK born, proud dad, hi-tech worker, volunteer firefighter, community leader, concerned and wrote about mental health.
Wow, I am speechless. This morning I had 230 followers and with boosts from Jewish and pro-Israel accounts, I'm now over 700. We're in a war of good against evil, but good will prevail. We stand together on social media and in reality. Keep focused on the goal, we've got this.
To all my followers outside Israel. The mood here is positive. There's frustration but we are good. War in the North continues & we are taking out archterrorists. We are still taking out Hamas terrorists in Gaza. We are good. It will be good PG. Hang in there.

Shani Louk's farther says that after 220+ days her body hadn't decomposed. Injuries showed, nothing else. As he said, in Jewish thought this is what happens to bodies of the holiest souls. Today 1,000s will attend her burial and restore her honor, honor taken by Gazan savages.
Good morning from Israel. What a 24 hours. Going from 230 followers yesterday to over 2,000 overnight. I will be following back as Twitter allows. We are stronger together and we are together. Don't let the Israel/Jew haters get you down. We will defeat the evil, together.
On a bus (rare for me) back home from work in Jerusalem. I can report that the vibe is vibrant. The Jewish people are alive, well, thriving, and growing thank G-d. Are you with us or are you with the forces of evil?
I'm worried that with so many new followers now, I might become big headed. Perhaps I'll get in touch with John Cusack to take me down a peg or 2. I know. Not good for my cred, he still hasn't blocked me.
Well. That was interesting. The first salvo from Iran. We're staying put in our safe room for the night. Shaky but thank G-d we are OK. I will not reveal any more info. Careless talk costs lives.
Just been in meeting for an hour and came back to find 20 new followers. Thanks to all of you. Yes, there's a lot of bad out there on Twitter/in the world, but there's a heck of a lot of good. Good will overcome evil. Let's stick and do this together!
Three men went into Jewish shops in Radlett quizzing them if they support the IDF. Radlett is a small town just north of London and has a large Jewish community. The shop assistant told them “we just sell bagels”. Now pro-Pals are harassing Jews in shops? Racist ghouls.
A problem with gaining 1,000 followers in one day: As a decent person you want to follow back. But X (AKA Twitter) limits how many accounts you can follow in a day. Don't worry. to paraphrase Arnie "I will follow back".
And some good news from the UK in the fight against Islamism. Shamima Begun has just lost her appeal of the ruling stripping her of UK citizenship. Good
140 days. In Hebrew letters the number 140 is קמ which phonetically in English reads "come". It also makes the Hebrew word to "rise". May our hostages come home safely and may we continue to rise above our enemies.
#brin
142. Yes, it's an incredibly painful 142 days in captivity for our hostages. Nearly 5 months. The world has gone silent. We, the good people will not.
#BringThemHomeNow
One of my interests is mental health. So, with your help, I'd like to run a quick survey on how your mental health has been doing since October 7. And you can drop a reply with why you answered the way you did.
150 days. 150.
#HamasisISIS
won't release the names of hostages still alive. Where is world pressure on those vile terrorists. We want our people back.
#BringThemHome
Israel is an apartheid state. Israel doesn't respect Muslims. I heard evidence of this today when the national radio broadcaster made a special announcement after the 2pm news of the Ramadan times for it's Muslim listeners. Apartheid?
As we approach Pesach and prepare our seder table, let's remember the 133 hostages. In the 70s my parents would leave an empty place for Soviet Jewry, we do the same every Shabbat. This video shows London this week. BTW pro-Israel people are always happy to fly the Union Jack.
Overnight the IDF the announced the death of another soldier, Simon Shlomov from Kiryat Bialik HY"D. Our barve soldiers are still fighting Hamas. IDF reports the Hamas Kahn Younis brigade is basically.
@Jewtastic
I've spoken to soldiers who've returned from Gaza. I say "basically every other house was terror-related". "No" they say, "every house was".
158 days. A few days since I posted my own thoughts. Been looking after my mental health. 158 days since it took a "little hit", but think of the hostages & their families. The world is nowhere. Support Israel so we can do what we need to do to finish this.
#BringThemHome
Shavua tov world. I am still activity-limited by X/Twitter but that is nothing compared to the 141 days our hostages have been in the cruelest captivity. 141 days!!!
#BringThemHomeNow
Good morning from Israel. 137. 137 days our hostages still in
#HamasislSIS
captivity.
#BringThemHomeNow
137 days since the horrific massacres unleashed on Israel. 137 days since the most incredible Jewish unity and support from real friends of the Jews.
The final results of my poll with just over 170 votes and 83% think it's time for British Jews to leave/escape the UK. My late father advised us to make sure our passport was always valid. We thought he was "crazy" but really he just studied Jewish history.
Just under 2 hours till Shabbat in IL. Sun shining, hosting some family. Some talk about Iran. Who cares. We'll have Shabbat as we have for 1,000s of years, many with threats & evil in the background. It's hard but we'll be fine. G-d has our back. Shabbat Shalom
#amyi
Israel goes to the polls next Tuesday for local elections (I'm standing). Facts:
- Soldiers will have ballot boxes in Gaza
- Arab citizens of Israel will have the same vote as Jewish citizens
- Arabs will be elected as mayors and councilors
Just saying
Well well. Thank you Jewish/pro-Jewish/pro-Israel peeps. I have surpassed 1,000 new followers today. Thanks to

and the many others who got me there. It's made my day. It doesn't take a lot :-)
American boxing champion Floyd Mayweather shows his support for an Israeli restaurant in Jerusalem and dances as he helps chefs make a famous Israeli dish.
I won't post the image out of respect to Shani Louk HYD and her family but it seems the IDF has killed the 3 terrorists pictured taking her body into Gaza. Thank you
@ImtiazMadmood
for the story.
We had a noisy Shabbat, massive bombing in N Gaza. It seems to me that if Gazans really wanted a change, they would all massively turn on Hamas. Me thinks they don't really want a change but just wish we'd stop attaking them.
I will probably be signing off X shortly, B4 Pesach starts. There is so much to say about the last 6 months. We will celebrate, twinged with a large amount of sadness and concern. To all my new X friends (Jewish and non), thank you and stay strong.

So, with all my posts this morning on what's going on in the UK, I'm happy to live in Israel where I'll be voting shortly in our local elections. Alongside Israeli Arabs. Arabs will also be elected to my regional council alongside Israeli Jews of course. Where's the apartheid?
Many in the Intl media have made it seem that it's just Bibi who opposes the unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state. Well, Israel's democratically elected parliament, the Knesset, voted earlier today by 99 votes to 9 (out of 120) to oppose any such unilateral move.
In the last hour terrorists shot 8 people on a main highway just outside Jerusalem, near Maaleh Adumim. Defeating Hamas in Gaza won't bring us peace, but it's a step. Defeating Islamist terror everywhere will.
I am pleased to so that I have reached my daily limit of accounts I can follow. If you follow me and I haven't followed back yet, it will happened. All for one and one for all 🇮🇱🇮🇱🎗️🎗️
Good morning from sunny and bright Israel. We are still fighting, don't worry. Yesterday 3 terrorist sons of Haniyeh were killed. Today we destroyed a terror building in Nuseirat, Gaza. Meanwhile we're still focused on Pesach prep, recipes, cleaning, etc.
🧵184 days. 6 months. The battle wages on to defeat evil continues. 133 hostages still in captivity. The world is silent. We have seen the most widespread manifestation of anti-Semitism the world has ever seen. We have seen the duplicitous nature of the world order. 1/2
News in Israel and globally is full of supposed/real pressure on Israel not to enter Rafah. I've voted Bibi and think he & many politicians left and right need to make way, but... (as reports in IL have it) He seems to be standing firm against that diplomatic pressure. Go Bibi
145 days today since the brutal
#HamasisISIS
attacks. 145 days since our hostages have been in cruel captivity. I don't want this new deal on the table. I want all the hostages and bodies (incl those held by Hamas from before Oct 7) returned in one go, NOW.
#BringThemHomeNow
136. It's 136 days since
#HamasislSIS
launched their genocidal attack on Oct 7. It's also 136 days in cruel captivity for our hostages. We must not forget them.

If a 2-state solution were ever a solution, it's not now. Since the Oslo Accords in 1993, appeasement has led to more anti-Israel/Jewish sentiment in Pal Arab society. The terrorist from Friday's attack, an Israeli Arab was a municipal driver in Bet Shemesh. It's everywhere
Been listening 2 Hebrew news as I work today. The feeling is quite incredible. Almost celebratory that thank G-d we survived the night basically unscathed (prayers for the injured Bedouin girl). The battle is won, the war is not. 133 hostages to bring home, Hamas 2 destroy.
The quiet after the storm. 192 days our hostages still in captivity. 192 days fighting Iran and it's "proxies". Iran crossed a line, Biden asks for restraint. Not much changes, but the Jewish people is alive and strong thank G-d and it's a glorious spring day in the Holy Land.
The madness in the UK continues, not just against Jewish people but against anything so loosely connected to our State. Memories of the 1930s. Will synagogue windows be next?
A thought: I know ceasefire talks, Hamas seeming in control of the narrative, weak/no support from international govs can seem depressing. Remember this: Our brave IDF soldiers are actually wiping the floor with Hamas. IDF morale is still high as they work hard to destroy evil
I am not a Jew or an Israeli. I am an Arab Muslim. I was raised to hate the Jews and that Muslims will fight them until the last day of humanity. I am sorry. This is what we learned in schools and mosques and even now this talk is taught.. I learned that the Jews are occupying 🇵🇸
Everything dates back to the failure to respond to the overt racism of the first pro-Palestinian marches. That was the moment for police and politicians to take a clear stand. And their inability to do so has unleashed a flood of antisemitism that will be hard to stem now.
Reports in IL now that the IDF has control of the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing. We have taken 3 significant tunnel openings. 20 terrorists killed so far, no losses on our side. Keep praying. OTOH 2 soldiers killed yesterday by a Hezbollah suicide drone. Keep praying 🙏🎗️
Candle lighting in 10 mins. Last day of Pesach we celebrate the splitting of the Red Sea and our final deliverance from the Egyptians. G-d has our back. We will come through this. Chag Sameach
It is once again a stunning spring day in Israel. This is my view from home this morning. Thank you Hashem. Praying for our 133 hostages, our soldiers, wounded, and evacuees. Shabbat Shalom
That was surreal. Not much sleep. Out and about the topic of conversation is of course last night. But it's a nice spring day in IL and if u hadn't heard the news u wouldn't know we were attacked. Thnak G-d, no major incidents. Wishing the injured Bedouin girl a speedy recovery.
Israel HaYom reports that in Southern Gaza the IDF found footage of the Bivas family from the early days of their capture. We can hope and pray they are still alive and well.
Great repost
@wealdengirl
. I've driven past these so-called refugee camps in the Jerusalem area. They look no different than many other regular Arab neighborhoods.
There are no refugee camps in West Bank or Gaza. They are neighbourhoods with proper houses. The word "camp" is used to keep the generational refugee status going. It is all a lie.
Less than 4 hours till Yom Hazikaron, memorial day here in IL. The air seems quieter, despite from where I live we still here our planes and our artillery bombing Hamas. This year is surreal: war, hostages, explosion in anti-Semitism. But thank u Hashem for the State of Israel
Been a busy day today, but that doesn't mean that we don't think about or pray for the hostages. 146 days today. I hope and pray they are released before the big 150.
#BringThemHome
An item on the main page of online Yisrael Hayom reminds me that this morning's terror attack happened BECAUSE there's no apartheid in Israel. Palestinians can travel the same roads as Israelis. The terrorists used this freedom, exploiting the daily jams into Jerusalem.
@JakeWSimons
I hear you Jake. But in IL, while we hear & see what's going on around us we don't feel despair. This is a marathon not a sprint. We've had some incredible achievements so far, we need 2 remember that.
One of the incredible stories of Oct 7 was of brave "Rachel from Ofakim" and her husband David. It seems he didn't recover from the trauma of being held hostage in his home and died yesterday. HYD
Israeli media reporting that Qatar wants to backout as the go-between in the discussions between us and the terrorists. While they blame us, they also blame Hamas, so basically they are admiting Hamas are to blame. Good. Now we can do Rafah and get the hostages back.
The family of this soldier have requested for people to pray for him as he is in a critical condition after being injured in Gaza
Prayer for Maoz ben Varda Devorah

When my late father was evacuated from London to the countryside in WW2 other kids couldn't believe he was Jewish because "he didn't have horns".
Wow. The power of positive thought. My folliwer numbers had been dropping off but just this afternoon following my upside pist about life here in IL, I've added 20 new awsome followers. I'll try and keep the reports coming.

@Israel
Sure, just come and we'll get it done. That's how we work here. We say yes, then build the solution. We have plenty of spare rooms.
With all the news about ceasefire/no ceasefire, the IDF is still fighting in Gaza. And what I mean is that both Hamas is being destroyed daily & the IDF continues efforts to bring the hostages home. Where I live we hear the IAF planes & explosions in Gaza.

@dramamommafree
I know we've been through Oct 7 in Israel, but right now, and always, I feel it is the safest place for me as a Jew. And my taxes pay for my own army.
Seeing what's happened in the UK Parliament today over a vote on a ceasefire maybe Jews do control the world. I mean it seems the most critical thing for MPs to think about is what Israel is up to.
It's Thursday evening in IL and we're gearing up 4 Shabbat. As usual, we'll set up "just-in-case-war-prep", such as leaving the radio on the "quiet channel". This week's Iranian threats will be a shadow, but we'll still celebrate Shabat as it's supposed 2 b.

in Cleveland, a contractor hired to paint over a vandalized wall by pro-Gaza activists is met by protesters who want to stop him. He proceeds to paint over them too. The protesters say that's assault.
We've also seen the Jewish people unite and mobilize like never before. We have seen so many good, non-Jewish stand up and support us. We have seen the incredible bravery of our army and security forces. Good will overcome evil. (preachy now😊) G-d is with us and we WILL win. 2/2

Democracy in Gaza. Yes it's true. Gaza will finally have democratic elections. You read it here. Arabs and Jews voting together as the IDF sets up polling stations in Gaza for soldiers to vote in Israel's local elections. I love Israel.
Anyone who thinks central London isn't a no-go place for Jews - around 90% of British Jews are proud Zionists (plus I would suggest a majority of Brits in general).
I live in central London and every weekend for months now I have to check what's a safe place and what isn't.
