היום לפני 96 שנה מומלך היילה סילאסי לקיסר אתיופיה. 6 שנים אח"כ הוא יצא לגלות של 5 שנים במהלכן הוא גר 3 חודשים חודשים בוילה בשד' בן מימון 6 בי-ם. בדיוק באותו הזמן התרחש מרשם התושבים של השכונה וכך ליד בעלת הפנסיון גב' זלצמן והפקיד אהרון חיות נרשם השכן היילה סלסיה. מקצוע: "מלך חבש"

Massive Arab-Muslim voter turnout in #Israel elections. About two million Palestinians, mostly Sunni Muslims but also Christians and Druze, are enthusiastically involved in campaigning and voting. These images are a still shocker for most in Arab and Muslim countries who are unaware of the extent of Arab-Israeli integration and coexistence inside Israel.

It was an honour to present my PhD work on the neurological predictors of CAR-T neurotoxicity at the joint ECTRIMS-ACTRIMS conference in Toronto last week. What an exciting and inspiring meeting! #MSToronto2026

Thought I better dust off my twitter/x. Had a great few days at #Blood2026 in Auckland! Grateful for the opportunity to share some of my PhD research on CAR-T neurotoxicity I also enjoyed hearing about the exciting research on CART being undertaken by my haematology colleagues!

Eric Hoffer wrote this article about Israel almost 60 years go. It reads like it was written yesterday. "The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews. Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it, Turkey threw out a million Greeks, and Algeria a million Frenchmen. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese-and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab. Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis. Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world. Other nations when they are defeated survive and recover but should Israel be defeated it would be destroyed. Had Nasser triumphed last June he would have wiped Israel off the map, and no one would have lifted a finger to save the Jews. No commitment to the Jews by any government, including our own, is worth the paper it is written on. There is a cry of outrage all over the world when people die in Vietnam or when two Negroes are executed in Rhodesia. But when Hitler slaughtered Jews no one remonstrated with him. The Swedes, who are ready to break of diplomatic relations with America because of what we do in Vietnam, did not let out a peep when Hitler was slaughtering Jews. They sent Hitler choice iron ore, and ball bearings, and serviced his troop trains to Norway. The Jews are alone in the world. If Israel survives, it will be solely because of Jewish efforts. And Jewish resources. Yet at this moment Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally. We can rely more on Israel than Israel can rely on us. And one has only to imagine what would have happened last summer had the Arabs and their Russian backers won the war to realize how vital the survival of Israel is to America and the West in general. I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us. Should Israel perish the holocaust will be upon us."

We will all soon know what it feels like to be Jewish. In France, they already do. It will be our just deserts for having abandoned the Jews, ignored their warnings, turned against them, and even marched alongside their oppressors. For three years, you useful idiots have been parading Palestinian flags, sporting keffiyehs, screaming “From the River to the Sea”, and recognizing a fictitious Palestinian state as a reward for Hamas’s October 7 massacre (looking at you, @EmmanuelMacron). You have boycotted the only Jewish state in the world, vilified the Jewish people’s right to self-determination (aka “Zionism”), and spread the “Gaza genocide” blood libel. Did you really think that if you fed the crocodile enough Jewish flesh, it would eventually be satiated? All you have done is embolden the monster and whet its appetite. So you were worried about “colonization”? Look around. The only thing being colonized here are our own Western cities. The Palestinian flag has become a victory banner, proudly waved amid the ruins of looted and vandalized historic buildings—a symbol of hatred for our civilization and everything it stands for. It never ends with the Jews.

xitter.cf/IsraelMFA/status… The UN is in panic mode after Israel released videos from Gaza’s security cameras showing Hamas employees of UNRWA torturing Gazan civilians to death. Among the prisoners who were killed there are many innocent gay people, journalists, protesters, Christians and anyone suspected of spying or leaving Islam (ex-Muslims). This is what the UN, the international community and the Western media support when they side with Hamas, Gaza’s Health Ministry and UNRWA. Please retweet if you care about human rights!

Voilà où en sont les Juifs de France. J’arrive à Marseille où je donne, ce soir, une conférence pour le lancement de Mémoires Provisoires. Et je découvre que le lieu est tenu secret et n’est dévoilé à mes lecteurs qu’au terme d’un jeu de piste d’une ahurissante complexité. Merci aux organisateurs du FSJU. Merci à mes anges gardiens, fonctionnaires de la République. Et merci à tous ceux qui feront l’effort de venir. Mais, franchement, cette situation est-elle normale ? Je viens à Marseille, depuis 50 ans, pour chacun de mes livres - jamais ce ne fut dans pareilles conditions ! Ph Blandine Fraysse, 4.4.2024, La Provence

To the people of Israel: I stand with you in grief, remembrance and solidarity on the third anniversary of October 7. We will never forget those murdered or the suffering of their families and the survivors. The Islamic Republic that armed and supported Hamas is the same regime that keeps Iranians in chains. When Iran is free, we will hold all those involved in these crimes accountable. Both our peoples deserve freedom and security. The bond between Iranians and Jews stretches back 2,500 years to Cyrus the Great. A free Iran will be a friend and partner to Israel. Lasting peace and stability for both our peoples will only come with the fall of the Islamic Republic.

Pilot Smit Machchar, speaking with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi from a hospital in the UAE: "I feel an immense sense of pride. At that moment, I was fighting for my life, but I realized that if I didn't get up and act – after being seriously injured and lying on the floor – no one else would. I've been flying planes for 17 years and have been a captain for the last 11 years, and I know what's happening on the plane, even with my eyes closed. I knew that only one more push was needed to open the door. Despite my injuries, I opened it, and the rest of the crew came in and did their part. I knew I couldn't let the passengers die."

I speaks fluent Hebrew so I’ll give you a brief summary: ‘I entered the cockpit, the pilot must have unlocked the cockpit door before he collapsed, we subdued the copilot who was the attacker, while he was trying to destabilize the plane, and dragged him out of the cockpit. The plane was in a dive, I grabbed the controls and pulled up, the plane began to stabilize, another pilot who was a passenger entered the cockpit and took control over the aircraft from me and successfully landed the plane’. * If even half of this is true, this guy deserves a medal. 🏅

I haven't tweeted anything about the Gaza war for a while because I can barely contain my anger at the sheer dishonesty and irresponsibility of it all—it’s just not good for my blood pressure. Every major element of the “Gaza genocide” blood libel has now collapsed, yet there has been zero accountability, zero corrections, and zero apologies. It was all just a gleeful exercise in Holocaust inversion: accusing the Jews of the very crime they suffered eight decades ago. It was bullshit, and many of the people pushing it never believed their own bullshit anyway, as you could tell from their behavior throughout the war: substacktools.com/sharex/JIW… The gravest crime imaginable has been cheapened and weaponized as a tool of political propaganda, fomenting violence against Jews and Israelis around the world. But nobody seems to care—and least of all the Western media. Anyway, I can relate to @Mr_Andrew_Fox’s feelings: “Sometimes I think I am not angry enough, but the scale of the problem is almost too huge to be angry at, collectively. Towering rage must be split into smaller rages at each of the component parts of the blood libel machine. The whole sorry mess sickens me, and now the great indictment of Israel is coming apart, one revelation at a time. This fact is not being reported by a single damned one of the media outlets that have spent years screeching over the war in Gaza to the exclusion of almost all else. Famine, deliberate attacks on hospitals, the slaughter of journalists and children, and systematic obstruction of aid: each allegation was broadcast as settled fact and then used to prove genocidal intent. The same newsrooms and universities that thundered these charges have shown remarkably little interest in the evidence that now destroys each of these allegations. It is incredible. There is no aspect of the genocide allegation that has not collapsed.” /2 substacktools.com/sharex/M_6…
For three years, Israel has repeated that Hamas and PIJ are disguising as "journalist", "doctors", "healthcare workers" and "paramedics", because they know that this disguise offers them some measure of protection, and that their death will cause outrage among credulous westerners. Hamas was right: all Western media just lapped up the stories about the record numbers of "journalists" and "doctors" killed, keeping almost weekly tallies and never asking any questions. And Israel was also right: Now that the war is over, Hamas and PIJ are gradually releasing lists of obituaries, identifying DOZENS of these so-called "journalists" and "doctors" as fighters. And what do the Western media do? Nothing. Just deafening silence. "Who cares? Let’s just move on to the next anti-Israel calumny." I cannot even begin to describe how angry this makes me. This is an unforgivable failure of journalism, and one that would never be tolerated in any other conflict. I approached several journalists personally and urged them to report on these revelations. To no avail. In a way, you can't blame them. The professional and social repercussions of publishing any story that is (or might be perceived as) “helping” the Israeli narrative are not to be underestimated. *** At least 18 Gazans killed during the war who were reported to be healthcare workers — including doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other employees of Gaza hospitals or the Hamas-run Health Ministry — have since also appeared in lists published by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad identifying them as members of the groups. Earlier this month, the Israeli [military provided details on 12 soccer players killed in the Gaza Strip during the war who it said have been identified as terror operatives, slamming their international portrayal as innocent athletes. Seven of the 12, including one who was a FIFA referee, were acknowledged as members by Hamas and Islamic Jihad. On June 25, 2024, Médecins Sans Frontières announced the death of Fadi Jihad al-Wadiya, a 33-year-old physiotherapist and father of three who had joined the organization in 2018. [...] Then in February of this year, Islamic Jihad identified al-Wadiya as a member of the organization, describing him as an assistant in its military manufacturing unit. [...] Al-Wadiya continues to be listed by MSF as one of its employees killed during the war, on an “In Memoriam” page. timesofisrael.com/gaza-death…
