Beautiful. The man loves Judaism and Jews.
Except that Israel is half the Jews, including millions of Jews kicked out of Arab countries to which they cannot return even now.
If you hate Israel, you can't "love Judaism" or "love the Jewish people."
You say these kind words as a threat. You hold out to American Jews -- Jews who didn't actually need Israel to survive the 20th century -- the promise of acceptance into your moral world on the condition that they reject the other half of the Jews, the ones who *did* need Israel to survive.
And you call this abusive gatekeeping love, and you congratulate yourself for your righteousness.
You're a man who would happily watch half the Jews die to satisfy your ideological vision -- and like every Muslim and Christian and communist and fascist antisemite who came before you, and like the Arab nations you admire where explicit antisemitism ("Jews control the world" antisemitism, not anti-Bibi sentiment) is polling at 90% of the population, this bloodlust feels to you purifying and righteous.

The victims are the same victims, the murderers the same murderers, the motive the same motive, and the hatred the same hatred.

Honest reporting of the reality in Gaza. Thanks @DavidMakovsky for turning on the lights.
Anyone who supports getting more food to people in Gaza—as I do—must also ask tough questions of the UN. This isn't about grainy footage. The UN itself reports that 87% of its 2,010 food trucks in Gaza (85% by tonnage) from May 19–July 29 were "intercepted"—either peacefully by crowds or forcefully by armed actors. That’s not an Israeli claim. That’s a UN admission as per the UN website (UNOPS). Time for real journalistic scrutiny.

This is a Druze firefighter hero named Viam Nabwani, and he risked his life to save a sefer Torah in the fires

The IDF has accepted a plan to extend the ceasefire, all Hamas has to do is release more hostages.
The fact that the “ceasefire now” crowd is not putting all pressure on Hamas to release the hostages, proves that they do not care about a ceasefire at all.

The original NY Times headline reads: “Violence Tied to Soccer Game….” There is no mention of the unprecedented nature of the event—a pogrom in the 21st century. No mention of its motive: antisemitism. No mention of its victims: Jews and Israelis. No mention of the response it necessitated: an emergency rescue operation by the Israeli government.
The hollowness of the headline tells its own story about a deeper desensitization of the modern world to Jew hatred even when the hate metastasizes into violence.

The mental gymnastics, reverse causality, and revisionist history that far leftists engage in to normalize jihad is no accident, and I’m no longer pretending that it is
David Kovsky retweeted
Fuck that.
It’s blatant antisemitic hate speech calling for the elimination of Israel from the map.

Hamas rapes, tortures, abducts and executes innocent civilians.
They celebrate and promise even more.
Unconditional support for Israel to free all remaining hostages, hold the Philadelphi line, and prosecute Hamas to neutralization.

12 Israeli children were murdered by a U.S. designated terrorist group.
Total silence from the “Ceasefire Now” squad.
Where’d you go, @AOC @MarkPocan @CoriBush @SummerForPA @BernieSanders @AyannaPressley?
Revealing.
Fast to condemn Israel, silent when Israeli kids are killed.

The anti-Israel Squad is suddenly silent.
Where’d you go, @AOC @CoriBush @AyannaPressley @SummerForPA @BernieSanders @RashidaTlaib @IlhanMN @PramilaJayapal?
12 Israeli kids were murdered today when Hezbollah fired a rocket at their soccer field. Why are you silent?
Revealing.

“Israel is the only state which when attacked, gets attacked more.”
Absolutely phenomenal opening statement of @DouglasKMurray at the recent @munkdebate on whether anti-Zionist is antisemitism.
👏 👏 👏

Students for Justice in Palestine is demanding a boycott of Hillel, a Jewish institution.
We are supposed to pretend, for the sake of political correctness, that SJP is simply criticizing the Israeli government rather than targeting Jews.
Attacking Jewish institutions, however, is not criticism. It’s antisemitism.

Three things you need to know about what’s happening on college campuses right now:
1) It’s not peaceful.
2) it’s not grassroots.
3) It’s not true.
Let me explain.

When I decided to enlist in the IDF in 2003 as an Israeli Arab, I did it because when our enemies attack Israel, they attack all of us, Jews and Arabs.
And when the IDF protects Israel, it protects all of Israel, Jews and Arabs.
Yesterday it was once again reinforced that the path I chose was the right one.
It was Iran that also attacked Arab villages and cities and it was my country Israel and the IDF that defended them!

Israel got lots of help tonight from the US, Britain, Jordan, France, Saudi Arabia & possibly other partners. Their pilots & other forces engaged in early detection & interception to defend Israel from the Iranian assault. via @N12News

6 months ago, I put up posters of every hostage in my office. Hamas has refused to produce proof of life.
Hamas owns this entire grotesque calamity.
I stand with Israel and the posters will remain on my walls until every single person is brought home.
