Just another Israeli - here for the duration.
I am the scary Israeli - 1st generation immigrant. And you know how we get about our CHOSEN adopted countries
As we come up on the 9mnth mark since
#Oct7
, I will be adding my Bookmarks from the last 9 months to this post - a few a day.
How has the discourse, the narrative changed?

For those not understanding why we respond to these with logic, reason and truth: It is not for them (her in this case). It is to ensure that their voices, lies and crocodile tears are not all the bleeding hearts of the world hear. We do it because we have to.

Sitting shiva, attending funerals, getting counselling.
I did not directly lose anyone - and I did not speak to another human for 2 weeks - because every word started a new storm of emotion.
Go talk about something you know something about, as this is clearly not it.
@ImtiazMadmood
She makes an incredibly important point:
The Freedom of CHOICE is being taken.
How many women wearing hijab, if removed from their societal pressures, would truly CHOOSE?
It is a question we cannot answer as long as the threat to them, for failure to conform, remains.

Reminded Israel Why It Exists. It will never be the same again-no more game. No more Hamas, no more terror

@persianjewess
My first thought on
#Oct7
was this.
For myself, a card carrying member of 'the Tribe' since the '90's, for my son who arrived in Israel on Sept 22nd, and shares this love with me.
As much as I feel every atrocity, Nova lives rent free in my heart and soul.

@beezwaxbee
The concept of the "Refugee camp" is a misnomer.
Designed to make the uninformed hot under the collar, when their limited imagination sees rows of tents, and dirty, shoeless kids 'being Bombed.
All these camps are fallacies.
They are Towns and Cities...

This is reality - THIS is what we (Israel) have been protecting you from for 3 months - We saw it all in the first week.
The people who did this is WHAT we are protecting you from now.
@lelemSLP
They avoid the media that would show them this. Following a carefully curated (by whoever is in charge these days...cough...iran...cough) narrative directed to press on all the soft spots of Western disaffected youth.
Now who is old enough to remember who's playbook that is from?

No dear - you misspelled some words:
Who commits the crime does not justify your silence just because you and the perpetrators read the same religious book.
It is only genocide when Gazans die in a war with Israel.
But when Muslim countries kill Muslims - just another day for you
@JewishWarrior13
I can listen to Israeli's, especially parents, in English and keep it together. But when I hear them in Hebrew, it strikes deep, it is more personal.
They are all our children.
May their memories be a blessing. We will never forget.

That she was told she was 'lucky' they had her - and not some other family, or the cowards you call fighters

I want to add to this a list of words-when a person claims to advocate for peace from the Palestinian side, but uses these words-they are not:
genocide, nakba, occupation, IOF.
It does not matter how they go on to justify.
Add your own, but this is a pretty good starting list.

@Toastcat4618
@TheMossadIL
I agree. But I also think it is time for us to stop second guessing ourselves.
We are acting like victims of domestic violence - trying to guess what our abuser will do if we do this or that.
Time to do what is right for Israel.
Those that need to understand will.

1.Pander to the lowest common denominator on 5-sec attention span platforms

Yea - you got the wrong propaganda packet as well.
No-one believes your lies anymore.

I have already said this, bears repeating : Their parents need to be put on trial right next to them, and the accountability (punishment) needs to be equal or more for these "adults".
Monstrous on more levels than we care to admit.
@HowidyHamza
Israelis know the complexity of the situation. We also know about the celebrations.
You are middle of the road brother, for peace.
You could be pointing your activism to Gaza - and convincing the innocents show us the truth of your words - we have seen precious little proof
@Kiwi_Ships
Well done you! Specifically for sharing this.
Too many of us are too afraid to share our hard learnt lessons due to embarrassment.
Us older ones have to remember that our children are not our only responsibility in society - our role is to share our painfully earned wisdom!

You are speaking to my heart Cheryl. Mine are 25,20,13. Raised outside of Israel (economics)-25&20 are back home.
I struggle with the impact on their future as Israelis. When I read this, I am grateful that I have a few more months of innocence for 13 before we return home.

Thankfully (if rather obviously) this has already been outed as a fabrication. Starting with the woman herself, amplified by Aljazeera Qatari network, confirmed by Hamas to be a lie.
An interesting twist in the Palestinian-Qatari blood plot about the rape of Palestinian women in Shifaa Hospital by Israeli soldiers
After the rumors that Jamila Alhassi published yesterday with the help of the Aljazeera Qatari network spread, in the last few hours Gazan surfers

Israeli, Afrikaner, believer in G_d, not religious institutions, raised protestant - and my Hebrew is getting better every day!
By the end of this year, Israeli will be my only passport.
I have lost 1 country. I will be double-damned if I let anyone take the 2nd.
In Judaism we aren't trying to get to heaven, we are trying to bring heaven down to earth. I think that's what makes us so different to everyone else. Many others think they can escape this world and run to heaven even after they sin. We live life to bring heaven to earth.

Thank you Hamza - we need to hear more voices like yours. I have a question - What do Gazans think of the international diaspora's pro-Palestine voices and marches? Do you guys think this helps or damages?

It is called ululating-and it is NOT Palestinian.
It is an old sound, used to indicate joy or grief women across the Mediterranean, Middle-East and Africa have used for since Ancient Greek times
Let the meaning it has in Gaza sink in - it is celebration of death when they use it

They r*pe and kill your mom. The murder your dad, brutally.
They kidnap your sister as they leave.
They offer to give your sister back if you agree not to t to send the police after them, not to hold them accountable.

Thx for the answer. Not sure I agree though. There is a lot of alienation happening, with people who used to be fully on the side of the cause. Would it not be more effective for them to call for Hamas to surrender, return the hostages?

Until the Western worldview accepts that we are in a religious war (which has been fought with words and terror until now) they will not act.
Having lost faith in religion,how can they then believe?
So the message is simple-Believe them when they tell what they are doing

Israel must not control Gaza on the mythical 'day after'
Also,
