Hola, soy palestino. 🇵🇸 Y como la honestidad es poco común en mi política, permítanme confesar algunas cosas. 1947. La ONU me ofreció un estado. Junto a Israel. Fronteras, independencia, reconocimiento. Dije que no. Mis líderes prometieron que la guerra "arrojaría a los judíos al mar". En cambio, lo perdí todo y lo llamaron catástrofe. No porque no me ofrecieran un estado, sino porque lo rechacé. 1948–2025. Los estados árabes podrían haberme integrado, dado derechos, pasaportes, dignidad. En cambio, me encerraron en campos de refugiados durante generaciones, para que siguiera siendo un arma contra Israel. Construyeron palacios para ellos y cárceles para mí. Me usaron como propaganda, no como personas. 1967. Tras otra guerra perdida, podría haber construido un estado en Cisjordania y Gaza. En cambio, insistí en "ni paz, ni reconocimiento, ni negociaciones". Tres noes. Cincuenta años después, sigo sin Estado. Resulta que el rechazo no paga el alquiler. Oslo, década de 1990. Israel dijo: «Intentémoslo». Me dio autonomía. Armas para la policía. Miles de millones en ayuda. ¿Qué hicieron mis líderes? Robaron el dinero, armaron milicias y lanzaron una intifada. Atentados suicidas en lugar de escuelas. Cohetes en lugar de fábricas. Gaza, 2005. Israel se fue por completo. Sin colonos, sin soldados. Tuve la oportunidad de convertir Gaza en un Singapur mediterráneo. Voté por Hamás. La convirtieron en Mogadiscio junto al mar. ¿Miles de millones en ayuda? Túneles, cohetes y palacios para sus líderes, mientras mi gente come comida enlatada en la oscuridad. ¿Democracia? No he tenido elecciones en casi 20 años. Hamás mata a los disidentes en Gaza. Fatah los encarcela en Cisjordania. Mis líderes cancelan elecciones porque están demasiado ocupados luchando por el poder. Religión. En lugar de construir un futuro, pongo a clérigos en televisión enseñando a los niños a odiar a los judíos. Glorifico a los "mártires" que hacen estallar autobuses. Crío a mis hijos con canciones de sangre y fuego en lugar de libros y ciencia. Cambio la esperanza por la guerra santa. Mundo árabe. Los regímenes árabes me llaman "hermano". Pero pregúntenles cuántos palestinos pueden vivir libremente en Líbano, Siria, Egipto o Kuwait. Me excluyen, pero celebran mi muerte, porque mi muerte es su excusa. Absurdo. Sigo diciendo que quiero "construir un estado". E irónicamente, justo al lado está Israel: el vecino que construyó una democracia próspera, una potencia tecnológica, granjas en el desierto, ciudades de polvo. Sin petróleo, sin riqueza infinita, solo coraje. Podría haber aprendido, copiado, colaborado. En cambio, elegí la envidia y la rabia. Obsesión antijudía. Podría haber aceptado a los judíos como vecinos. Podría haber dicho: "Dos naciones, dos estados". En cambio, repito: "Del río al mar". En lugar de exhibir el honor, la hospitalidad y la rica cultura árabe, mostré solo la cultura de la espada: la ira, el extremismo y la sangre. En lugar de gritar salaam (paz) a los israelíes, grité muerte a los judíos. Y luego finjo sorprenderme cuando los israelíes no confían en mí, cuando están enojados, decepcionados y convencidos de que no quiero coexistencia en absoluto. Responsabilidad. Culpo a Israel de todo. Siempre. ¿Mis líderes roban miles de millones? Culpa de Israel. ¿Hamás dispara cohetes desde hospitales? Culpa de Israel. ¿Glorifico la muerte más que la vida? Culpa de Israel. La responsabilidad no es mi fuerte. Soy palestino. Podría haber construido una nación, muchas veces. Elegí el rechazo, la corrupción y la guerra sin fin. Podría haber vivido en paz con Israel, pero elegí vivir a la sombra de su destrucción. Así que sí, soy una víctima. Pero con demasiada frecuencia, soy víctima de mis propios líderes, de mis propias decisiones y de mi propia negativa a abandonar el odio. Y esa, querido lector, es la tragedia que nadie quiere admitir.

There's a disturbing idea taking root that the only reason Jews and Israelis commemorate the victims of October 7th is to "justify" the suffering caused to Gazans by the war Hamas started that day. Whatever we think about the war, we remember the victims of the October 7th massacre because they were our family and friends. We'll never forget them, and we can't allow the world to erase their memories. Commemorating defenseless victims' lives isn't propaganda. But screaming at bereaved Israelis that they are warmongers for grieving their loved ones is a despicable act of hate.

Dozens of bullets were fired by Hamas terrorists at the door of Tamar and Johnny’s safe room on October 7. Even as they lay dying, Tamar and Johnny kept holding the door shut, trying to protect little Shahar, Arbel, and Omer until their final moments. Tamar managed to send a text saying they had been shot and were critically wounded. Then the terrorists set the house on fire. Tamar, Johnny, Shahar, Arbel, and Omer all burned to death.

BREAKING: The Flydubai pilot who helped avert disaster yesterday is in good condition and recovering ❤️‍🩹 The Indian Embassy in the UAE announced the Flydubai pilot Smit Machchhar is in good health and recovering. Stabbed and bleeding, the hero pilot managed to open the cockpit door, allowing passengers and crew to subdue the copilot who attacked him and land the plane. Sending my best wishes and gratitude for Smit's heroism.

The son of a Hamas founder stands in front of Oxford students and asks: “If you knew about the October 7 massacre in advance… would you report it?” Less than 5% raise their hands. He continues: That attack targeted civilians indiscriminately — Jews, Arabs, Muslims, Christians — and ethnically cleansed 20 Jewish communities because of their ethnicity and religion. Then he drops the line: “What’s happening in Gaza is not the same.” The room goes quiet. The “moral superiority” crowd suddenly has nothing to say. When the son of a Hamas leader has to teach Western students basic morality… you know the world is broken. 🇮🇱

🚨 BREAKING: Iran has been elected by secret ballot to the General Committee of the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the IAEA. The election comes shortly after the same body condemned Tehran over its failure to comply with its nuclear obligations. Iran will now sit on a committee involved in steering the proceedings of the agency tasked with monitoring its nuclear program.

Eden Alon Levy was the commander of young recruits at the Zikim base. When the attack began, Eden and her team placed themselves between the terrorists and the young recruits, fighting for hours to stop them from reaching those under their command. She fought with courage and unwavering determination until her very last bullet, and because of their bravery and sacrifice, dozens of young recruits survived. Her light will always guide our way.
