Shabbat Shalom!

This mosque needs to be investigated as vigorously as if it was a far right Nazi headquarters When members of its congregation start threatening to cut people’s heads off in racist attacks it is not a place of worship It is a hub for serial killers and criminals to plot acts of Islamic terror

@HenMazzig I did and I do. But what can we do beyond that to actually stop it from happening again next year? When will we see some real rabbinic leadership here?

What pathetic, disgusting behavior. Everyone needs to condemn this, full stop.

They’re protesting because the sourcing is from an entity affiliated with Hamas, a person who walked back the accusation that the NYT published, and then published a claim that medical journals said is not possible. Not what you’re saying, @mattduss, at all.

A disgusting part of Islamic culture in Britain calling for terrorism and to decapitate Jews This racist, unhinged, violent inclination is an objective, factual and undeniably popular component of the muslim world Any muslim who sympathises with the lad in the video needs to be treated like an enemy combatant at war with our society They are not simply wayward misled individuals akin to youth drawn into gangs They are revolutionary zealots who want to destroy us and in their mind, have Allah’s sanction to kill They are not just criminals - they are enemies

The BBC: interviews Israel’s ESC contestant Noam Bettan on semi-final focusing almost exclusively on crowd booing and boycotts Also BBC: omits Israel from the list of ESC finalists, claiming “error” At some point, “error” stops being convincing… via @JewishNewsUK

Everyone discusses the Nakba, but no one seems to mention that Jordan expelled some 20,000 Palestinians, Libya expelled 30,000 Palestinians, Iraq expelled 21,000 Palestinians, and Lebanon expelled 30,000 Palestinians. And Kuwait expelled 300,000 Palestinians.

On This Day — May 15, 1948: The Jews Refused to Die Again While every newspaper & radio pundit on Earth was already writing Israel’s obituary, something completely insane happened. On this day, 5 Arab armies (Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon) plus Saudi contingents invaded the newborn Jewish state with one declared goal: finish what Hitler started & “drive the Jews into the sea.” The math was grotesque: 600,000 Jews (men, women, and children) versus a combined Arab population of nearly 200 million with professional armies, British officers, and Soviet weapons. Israel had almost nothing — homemade Sten guns, Molotov cocktails, and whatever rifles could be scrounged. Britain and America both enforced a total arms embargo. The world waited for the slaughter. Instead, the Jews did the impossible. From the displaced-persons camps of Europe and from across the West came roughly 4,000 Machal volunteers — battle-hardened WWII veterans from Britain, the United States, Canada, and South Africa. Fighter pilots, bomber crews, and infantry officers dropped everything and rushed in. One of the most surreal moments: a young Jewish radio repairman from England arrived with zero combat experience. When asked what he could do, he said he fixed radios. The commanders’ eyes lit up. A shipment of broken walkie-talkies had just arrived. He and one Israeli partner spent weeks in a dusty former British camp bringing them back to life, one by one, so Israeli troops could finally talk to each other on the battlefield. Then came the miracles even the Bible might envy. Stalin, hoping to pull the socialist-leaning Israel into the Soviet orbit, secretly allowed Communist Czechoslovakia to become Israel’s lifeline. Prague sold the Jews Messerschmitt 109 fighters (assembled in secret), Spandau machine guns, rifles, ammunition, and bombs. Three B-17 Flying Fortresses were quietly bought in Panama, flown to Czechoslovakia, loaded with arms, and smuggled straight into a war zone — heavy bombers delivered to a country that didn’t officially exist two days earlier. Against every prediction, the tide turned. Israel lost 1% of its entire population in the fighting — a higher per-capita death toll than Britain suffered in all of World War II. Hardly a family was untouched. But by early 1949, the invading armies were pushed back and the armistice lines (the “Green Line”) were drawn — lines the Arab side itself insisted were temporary military lines only, never borders. This wasn’t just a military victory. This was the Jewish people — survivors of pogroms, exiles, and the Holocaust, joined by Jews who had never left the Middle East — declaring with their blood that after 2,000 years of wandering and persecution, they would never again be defenseless in their ancestral homeland. That is why a strong, sovereign, self-reliant Israel is not optional. It is the difference between survival and another chapter in the long book of Jewish tragedy. Never again will Jews have to beg strangers for the right to live. Never again will our survival depend on the fleeting “kindness” of empires that look away. Israel is the guarantee — secured by Jewish strength, not by the mercy of others. Am Yisrael Chai.🇮🇱

I still remember when they accused Israelis of racism for not raping Arab women...

Shalva is a support center for people with disabilities in Israel. When I visited Israel for the first time, I had the opportunity to visit this place as well. This manga is about that experience. (Please note: it is drawn in Japanese manga style, so it is read from right to left.) tanamako.com/portfolio-coll… I truly hope more people will learn about Shalva and the important work they do.

@thekatebutch Come on the Jews, Jews, Jews. I am supporting Israel all the way, while you scum are busy frothing over every point cast in their favour.

@thekatebutch I'm going to watch it, call in and vote for Israel just because I know it's going to upset you.

@thekatebutch why? because israel is there? did you watch the olympics? or are you just a hypocrite?

@thekatebutch If you’re boycotting Eurovision this year you’re a bit of an anti-Semite, I’m sorry.

@thekatebutch Voting about 10 bazillion times for Israel

@thekatebutch Yes, your sort don't like music festivals, do you? As evidenced by the atrocities carried out at the Nova Music Festival on Oct 7th 2023.

Of course someone with an (at)gagreflex email address thinks Israel is foe and Palestine is friend. You should really do a show in Gaza when all of this is over. I have never watched Eurovision and don't plan on ever doing so, but I'll definitely stream the Israeli artist now that I know it upsets you.

@thekatebutch I'll only be watching Israel & then voting for them obviously 🤣

@thekatebutch And if you’re boycotting it this year you’re a bit of a bigot, I’m sorry.
