Agents,
As the sun sets on 5786, we would like to thank you for another successful year of controlling the weather, the media, the banks, Hollywood, global shipping, your neighbor’s Wi-Fi and the price of eggs.
We have an ambitious operational schedule for 5787:
✅ Convince antisemites that air is Zionist.
✅ Make every parking space at your local Costco exactly one foot narrower.
✅ Replace every [citation needed] tag on Wikipedia with a link to Mac and Me.
✅ Continue putting Jews in positions of enormous influence, such as pediatric dentistry.
✅ Ensure every conspiracy theorist loses one earbud.
✅ Introduce several exciting new weather patterns over San Francisco specifically to annoy people with laundry outside.
✅ Infiltrate more universities through our highly classified program known as “Jewish students enrolling.”
✅ Expand the Space Laser Department’s mandate to include reheating coffee.
✅ Finally determine why North American supermarkets eliminated plastic shopping bags but still individually wrap cucumbers in plastic.
As always, our greatest operational challenge will remain explaining how an organization that supposedly controls the entire planet somehow cannot get Jews to agree on where to eat dinner.
May your year be sweet, your apples crisp, your honey plentiful, and your name inscribed in the Book of Life.
For everyone currently blaming us for everything:
Your complaint has been received. We recommend that you go blow a shofar.
Shana Tova, agents. Your $7,000 is in the mail.🍎🍯

One of the biggest propaganda victories in modern history was convincing millions of people that Palestine was basically a frozen civilization: an ancient Arab population sitting in the same villages for a thousand years until, one day, foreign Jews suddenly showed up from Europe.
It’s an astonishingly dishonest version of history.
Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire. Its population was never frozen in time. People, including Jews, Arabs, and others, migrated throughout the region, settled, moved, intermarried, and crossed boundaries that were nothing like today’s national borders. Arabs came into Palestine from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and elsewhere, just as people moved out of Palestine and throughout the wider region.
Yes, Arabs lived in Palestine before modern Zionism. So did Jews. And yes, much of the later Arab population boom came from natural increase.
But somehow Palestinian ancestry gets treated as if it comes with a 1,000-year certificate of authenticity, while a Jew whose people originated in that exact land is automatically branded a “foreign settler.”
And the irony is incredible: an Arab can immigrate to America or Europe and immediately call himself American, British, French, or German. Yet a Jew can return to the land where the Jewish people originated, where Jewish civilization was born, and where Jews have maintained a continuous presence for thousands of years, buy land, build a house, and somehow he is still the “foreign settler.”
It’s a political mythology built around one ridiculous rule:
Every Arab is presumed indigenous, no matter where he immigrates to.
Every Jew is presumed foreign.

It’s so weird being Iranian right now, scrolling through my feed and seeing all my fellow Iranians praying for freedom, and seeing every white leftist & terror sympathizer praying the oppressor wins… “for humanity.”

1. Not your brother. Not your abeed either.
2. Arabs/Muslims — the same ones trying to destroy Israel — have been slaughtering and enslaving Black Africans for 1400 years — learned it from Mohammed.
3. Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood which was founded in 1928. Read a real book.
4. My progeny will know I knew the truth. Your progeny will know you supported slave traders and Nazis.

No, the Jews were not expelled from 109 countries.
109 countries lost their Jews.
There’s a difference, and it matters.
Because we hear this line a lot — usually said with a certain smugness, like its case closed:
“If Jews were expelled from 109 countries, maybe the problem was the Jews.”
But that’s not really an argument. It’s barely even a thought. It’s just a number thrown like a grenade, with zero curiosity about what happened next.
Alright then. Let’s talk about what happened next.
How did those 109 countries do afterwards?
And how are those 109 countries doing now?
Spain expelled its Jews in 1492. They lost their financiers, their traders, their doctors, their translators — and within decades, the empire that ruled the seas was drowning in debt and decay.
England expelled its Jews in 1290. It took them 350 years to realize their economy didn’t quite function without them.
Much of the Arab world forced out nearly a million Jews after 1948. Today, many of those same places — once rich, cosmopolitan centers of trade and culture — are uneducated, behind, primitive, and stuck in cycles of poverty and stagnation.
We could keep going.
Germany. Poland. Russia. Yemen. Libya. Iraq.
For some, it took decades to recover, while others never did.
History has a pattern. And it’s not subtle.
Jews arrive → things get built → resentment builds faster → Jews get blamed → Jews get expelled → decline follows.
You’d think after the first few dozen times, people might’ve noticed (talk about beneficial 'noticing').
But here we are.
And what’s always left out of this little “109 countries” line is the simplest truth of all: those expulsions were never about Jewish failure. They were about Jewish success, about being too visible, too different, too educated, too useful — right up until usefulness became threatening.
Every time a society thought its problems would vanish if only its Jews did — those societies ended up learning the hard way that their problems had never really been about the Jews at all.
And the Jews, however.
We moved on.
We survived.
We built new worlds somewhere else.
As for those 109 countries?
Most of them never recovered.
They might’ve thought expelling us would make them stronger, purer, more unified. But the truth is, they only destroyed themselves by losing their very oxygen. Without us, they turned in on themselves, stagnant and decayed, holding onto a broken idea that never really existed in the first place. They never grasped that it was not us that was the problem. It was them.
Funny how nobody ever seems to mention that part — the part where the cost of expelling us was a price they could never afford to pay.

One of the strangest, and darkest, things about antisemitism is how much of it comes from people who have never actually met a Jew.
Think about that.
Not argued with a Jew.
Not done business with a Jew.
Not been wronged or hurt or cheated by a Jew.
Just — never met one. Not once.
For most of human history, that’s been the case. Entire villages, towns, even countries hated Jews without having the slightest clue who they were actually hating.
The hate was inherited. Passed down like a family recipe. Learned before they ever learned to think.
And the weirdest part is, it still happens today.
Most people in this world — especially outside of a few big cities — have never shared a meal with a Jewish family. Never worked alongside an Orthodox Jew. Never even had a casual conversation with one.
And yet, they "know" exactly what Jews are like. They "know" Jews control the world. They "know" Jews are greedy, manipulative, powerful, sneaky, evil.
How do they know?
They don’t.
Someone told them.
A meme told them.
A TikTok told them.
A YouTuber told them.
A podcaster told them.
An old book told them.
It’s all ghosts.
It’s all shadows.
It’s all secondhand, thirdhand, thousandth-hand hatred.
It’s a hatred built entirely in the absence of real people.
Ask most antisemites to name a single Orthodox Jew they’ve actually spoken to in their life. Just one. Silence.
Because for them, Jews are not human beings. Jews are symbols. Jews are characters in their private mythology. Jews are whatever they "need" them to be to explain why their life isn’t what they want it to be.
Too rich. Too poor.
Too loud. Too quiet.
Too modern. Too traditional.
Controlling the world. Ruining the world.
A Jew could move in next door, offer them fresh-baked challah, and wish them nothing but peace — and it wouldn’t matter.
Because the Jew they hate isn’t real. It never was.
This is the thing that makes antisemitism so different from other forms of bigotry and hate.
Most racism happens up close. It happens in neighborhoods, in workplaces, in real contact between real people.
Antisemitism, however, happens "without" Jews even being there.
You could wipe every Jew off the map tomorrow — and I promise you, by next week, someone would be blaming them for the price of eggs.
Because once the Jew stops being a person and starts being an idea — an empty vessel for every frustration, every fear, every fantasy — it no longer matters how many Jews you’ve met.
In fact, the less, the better.
It keeps the ghost alive.
It keeps the myth pure.
It keeps the lie going.
"Antisemitism doesn’t need Jews. It only needs imagination."

MEET ELISHEVA RISHON.
Founder of BlackJewishZionists. Fashion designer. Truth-teller. Fighter.
And this week, she walked into a Staples in Los Angeles to print postcards celebrating Jewish joy—
And was told NO.
Told her message was “racist.”
Told her identity was unacceptable.
And when she spoke up? The manager—Cynthia—DEFENDED the discrimination.
That’s when Elisheva went national.
She brought her lawyer.
She brought the receipts.
And she’s not backing down.
Staples messed with the wrong woman.

Many love to throw around the word “INDIGENOUS.” Do you know what it means? Indigeneity is about honoring land-based cultures that survived from ancient times into modern, respecting their unique worldviews. Indigeneity does not mean residence. Indigeniety is predicated on origin point and continuity.
🔹Jews are an indigenous tribe of Eretz Yisrael, with 4000 years of continuous presence. Diaspora experience of some Jews does not negate indigeneity of the Jewish tribe. Jews retained cultural continuity in diaspora, living in closed communities, where they preached endogamous marriage, retained their identity and traditions of Eretz Yisrael.
🔹Israel has indigenous cultural continuity from ancient times to modern day.
🔹Israelis speak an indigenous language, Hebrew.
🔹Israel has indigenous names for the land of Eretz Yisrael; towns and villages that have existed since biblical times.
🔹Israelis have an indigenous spirituality, Judaism.
🔹Israelis have indigenous sacred sites, the kotel, cave of Machpelah, Kever Rachel, and more.
🔹Israelis have an indigenous calendar, based on natural cycles of the land and ancient history.
🔹Israelis have indigenous mythos and meanings related to ancient tribal ways of being, our bible and scriptures.
🔹Jews have sacred foodways related to the land of Israel, the seven species of wheat, barley, date, pomegranate, fig, grape, olive
🔹Israelis have indigenous garments, tallit and kippah.
🔹Israelis have indigenous sacred objects, shofar, t’fillin, Torah.
🔹Israelis have an indigenous system of law, beit din.
🔹Israelis have an indigenous system of food purity, kashrut.
🔹Israelis have an indigenous agricultural system, shmita, pe’ah, orlah etc.
🔹Israelis have indigenous songs, piyuttim.
🔹Israelis have indigenous symbols, 🔹Magen David, menorah, chamsa.
🔹Israelis have indigenous archaeology. The land of Israel is rich archaeological finds from ancient Jewish civilization.
🔻Palestinian Arabs are not an indigenous tribe of Eretz Yisrael. Theirs is a hybrid culture based on colonial conquerings and migrations into the land from surrounding areas. You cannot become indigenous by conquering your way into indigenous bloodlines. Many of today’s Palestinians are descendants of relatively recent immigrations into Palestine, as local Arabs sought to take advantage of increased economic activity of the Jewish Old Yishuv.
🔻Palestinians do not have cultural continuity from ancient into modern times.
🔻Palestinians do not have their own indigenous name for their tribe.
🔻Palestinians do not have an indigenous language, Arabic is from Arabia.
🔻Palestinians do not have their own indigenous name for the land, or for towns and villages; as colonial conquerers, they translated Hebrew names of villages into Arabic.
🔻Palestinians do not have an indigenous garment. Kaffiyeh is from kufa, Iraq.
🔻Palestinians do not have an indigenous spirituality. Islam is a religion of Arabia.
🔻Palestinians do not have indigenous sacred sites. Al Aqsa mosque is a result of colonial supercessionist conquering of the Jewish temple. Islam’s holiest sites are in Saudi Arabia.
🔻Palestinians do not have an indigenous system of law. Sharia is from Arabia.
🔻Palestinians do not have indigenous food purity system. Halal is from Arabia.
Palestinians do not have indigenous symbols. Their flag is based on the pan-Arab flag.
🔻Palestinians do not have indigenous sacred objects.
🔻Palestinian agriculture techniques and foodways are similar to that found throughout the Arab world, not indigenous.
🔻Palestinians do not have an indigenous calendar. The Islamic calendar is from Arabia.
🔻Palestinians do not have indigenous archaeology. There is no evidence of their presence in the land because they lack the cultural continuity of an ancient tribe.

What… the f*ck.
Is everyone seeing what I’m seeing here? I’m not going mad?
Gazan children celebrating, cheering on .. dead Jewish babies.
Our people, babies were in those coffins! I can’t take this.
A lone Hamas terrorist stood at the back.. the rest are Kids.
Those coffins contained murdered Israeli babies and their mother, and an 83 year old Israeli activist for Gazan rights… and they are partying.
Just when I thought I had stopped feeling sick.
The pain today has truly felt like my heart can’t take any more.

I can’t believe what I’ve seen today. Scenes of jubilation.
Thousands and thousands of Gazans cheer the coffins of dead Jewish babies.
How do you feel when you see stuff like this?
Because I feel utterly sick right now and I mean I physically feel that way. My heart feels like it’s bleeding in my chest.
These were our people. Babies.

Here is the full video of the Gazans that kidnapped Shiri and the boys.
They had just burned Shiri’s parents Margot and Yossi Silverman alive in their home
Hello Yiddy retweeted
Please read. It’s important.
It wasn’t just Hamas that kidnapped the Bibas family.
Shiri and her two baby boys were kidnapped by regular Gazans (see images below) and then last seen on CCTV being handed over by the Gazans to a Jihadist group called “Kataeb Al-Mujahidin." (See video below)
Yarden was beaten bloody by a huge crowd of regular Gazans, and taken on a motorbike after his wife and two baby boys were carted off to Gaza. (See video below)
Palestinian Media (Quds - see screenshot below) called the people committing this atrocity “Freedom Fighters” and other Palestinian propaganda outlets/accounts have called this innocent and beautiful family “Prisoners of war”
You see.
It isn’t just the elected Hamas government that have led us to where we are right now.
There is a much wider, much more embedded Jihadist mentality, amongst Palestinian society in general. There is no denying that anymore I’m afraid.
(You’ve seen the crowds at the hostage releases over the past few weeks. The children being given automatic weapons to hold by masked Hamas terrorists)
That mentality what lead to the Bibas family and many other families being torn apart.
For example, children like the Simon Tov kids being burned alive with their parents (I’ll put their story in the comment thread)
Whatever the outcome with the hostage/body releases… This goes further than just Hamas.
Right now, all we can do is pray. My heart goes out to every hostage family during this really difficult time.
Please try to respect them and do not spread rumours or anything that has not been verified by Israel.
