The Passover is one of my most favorite holidays in all religions. It is very linked to Egypt, and thus, my Jewish friends and I (an Egyptian) used to use it as an excuse to make jokes about our friendship. A close friend, every time I told him “Happy Passover,” he responded

🧵Article by Larry Lewis is often cited to counter commentary by John Spencer showing that Israel has done more than any army ever to mitigate civilian harm. Lewis' article is filled with many falsehoods, cherry-picked data & omissions. See analysis: 1/ justsecurity.org/93105/israeli-…

Israel has done more to prevent civilian casualties in war than any military in history — above & beyond what international law requires & more than the US did in its wars in Iraq & Afghanistan -- setting a standard that will be both hard & potentially problematic to repeat. 🧵

Chilling convo between an IDF officer and a Gaza resident. IDF Officer: You need to evacuate for your own safety Gazan: “We want to die” IDF officer: “You need to to leave, the blast radius will be immense and it will effect you” Gazan: “We aren’t leaving, Ki*ll the

Today is Yarden and Shiri’s sixth wedding anniversary. They were so ordinary and so beautiful. 💔 They were kidnapped by Hamas on 7.10 and dragged into Gaza along with their two ginger haired toddlers. We don’t know if they are alive or dead or what they have suffered.

All eyes on Rafah!

Your daily reminder that there is zero moral equivalency between civilian collateral casualties incurred during a legitimate military operation, and the targeted rape, abduction and slaughter of innocent civilians.

It used to be admirable to hide Jews in your attic.

Gaza based journalist Abdullah Al Jamal held three Israeli hostages captive in his family home. One of the last articles he published was titled “My House Will Always Be Open.” 🔗nypost.com/2024/06/09/wor…

🧵Thread by Lee Mordechai has 3.4mm views but is filled with 100s of lies, errors, misrepresentations and importantly, omissions. It’s a mash up of every NGO, UN & media report claiming Israeli evil and absolves Hamas of wrongdoing. Let's examine the intellectual dishonesty: 1/

🧵Israel issued response to UN report claiming 6 IDF incidents “may” have violated int’l law. This little noticed response is excellent rebuttal for all claims of war crimes. Israel also for first time identifies by name combatants included in Hamas casualty lists. Analysis: 1/

A picture worth a thousand words.

This was a fun conversation. The inimitable Noam Weissman tried to get me riled up by citing a bunch of anti-Zionist arguments. He succeeded. We talked about what’s wrong with the new Wikipedia article on Zionism, with academic anti-Zionism and even with the Zionist telling of

So I found this remarkably entertaining video made about 5 months ago which I have to say is one of the best ever videos that tells some of the detailed history of the Jewish people and Israel that I’ve been writing about for over a year. It’s 20 minutes long, but the wealth of

Noam Weissman in conversation with Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib (Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib) about the story of Zionism - and how to answer questions about white colonialism from Palestinians in Gaza. Check out the full episode: Part 1: link.chtbl.com/N1Ojzkdj?sid=A… Part 2: link.chtbl.com/k8UZDFjN?sid=A…

One of my favorite YouTube channels, Unpacked, just released a 25-minute crash course on the Israel–Palestine conflict. It’s clear, honest, and deeply informative. If you care about the truth, take a few minutes to watch it or bookmark it for later.

You won’t believe what we discovered. Some say there was never a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem… but an illegal construction project uncovered something no one expected. Collab with Will Weiser and Temple Mount Sifting Project - סינון העפר מהר הבית #Jerusalem #TempleMount #alaqsa

Anti-Zionism is everywhere these days, from the left to the right, online and on campuses, from Europe to NYC. But where does it come from? Is it really just about Gaza? How did it become acceptable and widespread? We unpack all that and more with Izabella Tabarovsky and Dr. Rachel

New footage has been released of American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin and other hostages celebrating Chanukah in the Hamas tunnels. In soft, defiant voices, they sang the ancient Chanakuh song: Maoz Tzur Yeshuati—Rock of Ages, my salvation. They were all murdered by

They picked a heck of a day to draw lots.
