@AJCGlobal Great. I started this tradition back in 2002, with post 9/11 AJC Thanksgiving Haggada.

Today, AJC Jerusalem hosted its 21st annual Thanksgiving dinner for Lone Soldiers, Israeli servicemen and women without family in the country. We have much to be grateful for, including these brave young men and women!

@araghchi Idiot - you chose specifically a picture of the maternity ward!

Earlier today, our powerful Armed Forces accurately eliminated an Israeli Military Command, Control & Intelligence HQ and another vital target. The blast wave caused superficial damage to a small section of the nearby, and largely evacuated, Soroka Military Hospital. The facility is mainly used to treat Israeli soldiers engaged in the Genocide in Gaza 25 miles away, where Israel has destroyed or damaged 94% of Palestinian hospitals. It is the Israeli regime and not Iran that initiated all this bloodshed, and it is Israeli war criminals and not Iranians who are targeting hospitals and civilians. Hundreds of innocent Iranians have been murdered in cold blood since Israel launched its illegal war against the Iranian people last week. We call on Israelis to heed our evacuation orders before strikes and to avoid proximity to military and intelligence sites. Our powerful Armed Forces will continue to pummel the criminals who target our people until they cease and pay for their criminal aggression against our nation.

@kaisos1987 על פי מקור מהימן (להתרשמותי), העמדה של וליד נגד מוופק טריף לא פופולרית בקרב הדרוזים בלבנון - בייחוד הצעירים, שנקעה נפשם מליקוקים לחיזבאללה המובס.

המנהיג הדרוזי הבולט בלבנון, וליד ג'ונבלאט: הדרך להגן על העדה הדרוזית בסוריה היא לסרב להתערבות הישראלית. מנהיגה הרוחני של העדה הדרוזית בישראל, השייח' טריף, רוצה לערב את סוריה במלחמה בלתי פוסקת. הביקורים של אנשי הדת הדרוזים בישראל הובילו למתיחויות בסוריה
