📢 WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPREME COURT! @The_ILF, together with a coalition of Jewish / pro-Israel groups, has filed a landmark amicus brief to support American victims of Palestinian terrorism under the 'Pay to Slay' program! This appeal case stems from the 2018 murder of Israeli-American hero and father-of-four Ari Fuld (z'l), by a Palestinian terrorist. Enough is enough, we must pursue not only Hamas, but ensure that the Palestinian Authority and PLO are held accountable as well. ILF is deeply grateful to @holtzmanvogel for their representation and @MarkGoldfeder of @NJACLaw.

Frustrating that it took a change of administration for this to happen, but still, a step in the right direction.

🚨BREAKING-->Trump's @usedgov is opening bombshell investigations into FIVE schools across the U.S. for their failure to combat on-campus antisemitism: @Columbia, @NorthwesternU, @UCBerkeley, @Portland_State, and @UMNews. The admin will hold universities accountable. Read Chairman @RepWalberg's reaction here:

@DanBilzerian That's true, Dan, 6 million Jews did indeed not die during WW2. 6 million Jews were *murdered* during WW2. That's an important distinction, thank you for making it.

Watching appalling scenes of two hostages, Gadi Moses and Arbel Yehoud, an old man and a young woman, forced to make their way through a threatening and armed crowd. What a despicable way of letting them go after 482 days! Stay strong, Gadi and Arbel.

I'll say it again, because I'm not sure the Palestinian people and their supporters have yet understood, not even after 16 months. Every moment in which Hamas torments the Israelis strengthens the Israelis. Every time they broadcast to Israelis that we are vulnerable, they solidify our resolve and validate the continuation of the war after the release. Hamas are fighting an over-clever psychological war against an enemy that only really exists in their imaginations. The real war, the real enemy, is constantly strengthened by these images. Every act of machismo meant to terrify some imagined French-Algerian colonialist seals Gaza's sad fate for yet another year, or another generation. Israelis are not learning to be afraid of Hamas. They're learning to never again tolerate an enemy like Hamas ever growing strong and prosperous and entrenched. They are learning that Gaza cannot ever become what it was, no matter the cost to Gaza going forward. They are learning, too, that the easiest way to lessen the impact of hostage-taking is to have fewer prisoners in Israeli prisons. They are learning that terrorists are a strategic liability in prison but a strategic benefit in the grave. There is no end to Hamas's capacity to undermine the Palestinian cause. And in every generation, they only realize these basic truths when it's much, much too late.
