March against antisemitism in Paris: 20+ members of the French government led by Prime Ministrer Elisabeth Borne and MFA Catherine Colonna; former French presidents François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy; all political parties except the far-left represented.
She asked specifically for permission to visit her grandmother, saying she won’t promote boycotts. Then, after Israel said yes, she says she won’t visit if she can’t promote boycotts.
So, it was just a stunt to prolong the news cycle of attacking Israel.
Never mind, grandma.
Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in--fighting against racism, oppression & injustice.
Just now, a powerful barrage is underway. A missile hit the place where Babyn Yar memorial complex is located! Once again, these barbarians are murdering the victims of Holocaust!
"We didn't want to recognize a Palestinian state before, but now that Palestinians massacred 1200 people in Israel in a day and kidnapped 240, we think it's time to reward them."
That's the message Israelis are getting, and I bet the Palestinians are too.
Israel: Vaccinate medical workers and ppl aged 60+ first, but don’t waste leftover vaccines
Cuomo: Throw those leftover vaccines away or pay a million dollar fine
In broad daylight, in the lobby. In case you didn't already think that the doctors and staff from the hospital who said they didn't know Hamas operated on the premises were lying.
The final estimated turnout for the rally for Israel and against Jew hatred is now 290,000, making it the Jewish community's largest turnout ever. The previous record gathering was 250,000 to free Soviet Jewry in 1987.

The largest number of Jewish civilians were killed in a single day since the Holocaust, in atrocities perpetrated by people whose ideology was forged by a literal friend of Hitler and the leader of Muslim SS volunteers. That's all you need to know about the war in Israel.
This makes no sense. Sanctions are economic warfare.
They have already caused medical shortages and countless deaths in Iran.
You cannot claim to want deescalation and then announce new sanctions with no clear goal. This is not a measured response!
I was speaking Hebrew in a taxi in London, and the driver said “you’re from Israel?” and of course we clammed up, but then the driver says: “I’m from Morocco! We have peace now!” 🇲🇦🇮🇱
חבר של חברה נכנס לעזה ושולח לה סרטון מתוך בית שנכנס אליו בעזה.

I mean, how could you look at Maya and *not* understand that she's saying "thank you for shooting me in the leg, kidnapping me and giving me subpar medical care!" What else could she possibly be thinking?
I never understood how someone could deny the Holocaust, but now, when I see people trying to "debunk" the fact that Hamas beheaded babies when it happened only days ago & there are many eyewitnesses who saw the corpses - not just Israelis - I see how that works.
Not a good look as pro-Palestinian protestors target a cancer hospital on New York’s Upper East Side. The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center also houses a paediatric day hospital…
“Make sure they hear you, they’re in the windows”.
Hamas is holding 137 hostages:
117 male
20 female
Among the hostage are
2 Bibas children (aged 10 months and 4 years)
10 aged 75 and older
126 Israelis
11 foreign nationals,
including 8 Thai
1 Nepalese
1 Tanzanian
1 French-Mexican

Israeli Welfare Ministry confirmed that these are instructions for IDF personnel who will be escorting child hostages from Gaza to Israel:
1. Try to have 1 soldier escort each child or family unit
2. The soldier should introduce himself: “Hi, I’m (name). I’m a soldier in the

@GayleKing
says it’s a political problem. She’s shown that she’s able to be sensitive with other interview subjects. Why not this one? What is her bias here that won’t let her see this human tragedy?
WATCH: CBS's Gayle King LECTURES the father of a eight-year-old Israeli girl being held hostage by Hamas that "innocent children in Pales --Palestinians...are dying" too just as "innocent Israeli children" and, b/c of "politics," "no one seems to be able to say enough, stop"
Salman Rushdie was just stabbed - there’s been a fatwa on him from the Ayatollah of Iran since 1989. Comes right after the arrest of someone Iran paid $300k to kill John Bolton and the threats to Masih Alinejad in Brooklyn. I’m going to say it’s not a coincidence.
The prime ministers of Spain and Belgium blaming *Israel* while literally standing on the background of a terrorist group that is holding innocent children and babies hostage says everything.
We know that the only Jews who get "respect of civilization" are the ones who die without putting up a fight. We'd rather live than get respect from the likes of you.
900 Israelis massacred by Palestinian terrorists. Whole families murdered - babies, grandparents, Holocaust survivors. An elderly woman burned alive in her home.
So, of course, the UN Human Rights Council is observing a moment of silence for Palestinians "and elsewhere."
On Monday afternoon, the

Human Rights Council observed a moment of silence for the loss of innocent lives in the occupied Palestinian territory and elsewhere.

Despite reaching an agreement with Hamas on a temporary cease-fire in exchange for the release of dozens of hostages, the Israeli military continued to bombard the Gaza Strip this morning.

This is an anti Jewish hate crime
@metpoliceuk
Explain to me how European soccer captains wanting to wear pride flag armbands is prohibited politival expression but the Moroccan team's Palestinian flags are not.
This has been debunked. Palestinians are digging up their own makeshift and calling it a mass grave for the cameras. But does she care? Of course not. Can’t let the facts get in the way of the narrative.
“We just want to give him a dignified burial”.
Overwhelming grief as a mass grave containing over 300 bodies has been uncovered at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza.

Welp, looks like Russia wants a fight with Israel. Russian Foreign Ministry says that Israel "supports the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv" and that Lapid saying "“The Jews did not murder themselves in the Holocaust" is "anti-historical."
Israel’s Public Diplomacy Directorate wanted to pay to put these signs up around the Hague ahead of today’s ICJ hearing, but 10 different companies rejected the ad, probably for fear of vandalism. Well, no one can vandalize our tweets. Don’t look away.
My parents have a friend who’s 61 years old (!!!) who was called up for reserves. He’s a doctor, not a fighter, but that is still an indication of how extreme the situation is. His 3 adult children were called up, as well - his poor wife.
"Each person had a guard watching him or her. They took care of all the needs. They talked about all kinds of things, they were very friendly."

: Israel’s flooding of tunnels with saltwater could have severe adverse human rights impacts, some long term. Goods indispensable to civilian survival could also be at risk, as well as widespread, long-term & severe environmental damage. Civilians must be protected.
In Israel, there’s no need to storm the Knesset if you don’t accept the election result, because there will just be another one in a few months anyway.
I love living in Israel. Not even hundreds of missiles can get us down. I took my kids out for an activity in a strip mall, and Israelis are out in full force shopping, eating in restaurants, kids are having fun like it’s a regular afternoon. We love life 🇮🇱
That‘s why they massacred Jews during the Holocaust and started a revolt against the British to prevent Jews from entering, and why their leader told Hitler kill Jews, don’t send them here. To provide a safe haven. Makes perfect sense
@RashidaTlaib
All these countries that condemned Israel for trying to thwart terrorism on Friday morning and then sent Israel condolences after the terrorist attack on Friday night - they love Jews after a massacre, but are horrified when we stand up for ourselves. They’re morally bankrupt.
