@Beno10_MFC It's pretty clearly D. Look at the bottom of the bowl. In D, it is under the mixer base.

@YossiGoldstein8 Art. 25 didn’t take Transjordan out of the Mandate. It just exempted Mandate lands east of the Jordan River from the Mandate provisions related to the Jewish national home. Notwithstanding its administration by the Hashemites under the British, it wasn’t a separate Mandate.

Transjordan was carved out of the original Mandate for Palestine in 1921 by the British under Article 25. That doesn’t change the fact that it was originally part of Mandatory Palestine before being separated east of the Jordan River. So no, pointing out that historical reality isn’t a “lie,” it’s literally the documented history.
George//DDDX3@GeorgeDDDX3

@YossiGoldstein8 Because under the mandate Transjordan was a separate political entity to mandate Palestine. You know this, but continue to lie anyway so you.can push the JoRdAn Is PaLeStInE narrative every few decades

@__RELIK__ @YossiGoldstein8 No, Article 25 simply exempted Mandatory Palestine east of the Jordan River from being part of the Jewish national home provisions.. It was then given to the Hashemites to administer under the British, but it remained formally part of the Mandate until its independence.

@YossiGoldstein8 Jordan was separated from the British mandate and allocated as Arab country under article 25 in 1921 ! This is mandate Palestine before Israel existed 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@AdamKinzinger Why do you believe this? Saying the “Israeli government desperately wanted…” is not credible on many levels.

@gidonsaar There’s no downside to taking a supportive tone, only an upside. IMO, thank them for providing the necessary information, say that you regret any misunderstanding wrt Israel’s legal process, and rest assured, Israel will not tolerate any attempt to sell stolen goods.

@LahavHarkov @gidonsaar This situation is an example of "it's not what you say but how you say it." Mr. Sa'ar could have conveyed the same requirements but in a helpful tone, without being combative, and there would have been absolutely no blowback.

Israeli Foreign Minister @gidonsaar a few minutes ago, re the ship of grain from Ukraine: "Our director-general spoke with the Israel Tax Authority, which began an examination of the matter... The vessel has not entered the port and has yet to submit its documents. It is not possible to verify the truth of the Ukrainian claims regarding the forgery of the bill of lading. Up until this point, the Ukrainian government has not submitted a request for legal assistance. They submitted tweets. This [formal request] is required when the claims concern criminal acts committed abroad. Nor has the Ukrainian government provided evidence for its claims...Israeli authorities are obliged to act in accordance with the law. Legal discussions must be based on evidence..." "We say again to our Ukrainian friends, if you have any evidence of threats, submit it through the appropriate channels."

@AdamKinzinger I support Ukraine and I support Israel. But if Ukraine isn't Israel's friend, why should Israel be Ukraine's? The issue of the wheat could've been handled with more finesse, but what has *actually* happened? Nothing yet- just (unfortunate) public sparring. Please don't prejudge.

@koshercockney This issue should be filed under. “it’s not what you say but how you say it.” Instead of being defensive and combative, Saar’s tone should have been constructive and supportive. Result is a public relations problem Israel didn’t need.

And there you have it. The vessel hasn’t even entered the port or submitted any documents to Israel and no legal assistance has been requested by Ukraine either. “When you examine you check the facts. The vessel has NOT yet entered the port and has yet to submit its documents. We say again to our Ukrainian friends, if you have any evidence of theft [from Russia] please submit through the appropriate channels. It’s a bit surprising coming from a country [Ukraine] we have supported in International forums, through Humanitarian ways and with energy and generators” -Gideon Saar on the Russia/Ukraine Grain Shipment

@gidonsaar stress the importance of the allegations, that Israel would never accept stolen Ukrainian grain, and ask them to help you investigate. You may not like Twitter diplomacy, but it is a reality, and you are coming across as combative and unsympathetic- an unnecessary self-own. 2/2

@gidonsaar Respectfully, you are taking the absolutely the wrong approach. An appropriate maxim: "it's not what you say but how you say it." Instead of being argumentative with Ukraine, and thus angering your supporters who also support Ukraine, I urge you take a sympathetic approach: (1/2)

X is a great platform, but we reject “Twitter diplomacy”. During a Press Conference today with Serbia’s FM, I was asked about the surprising allegations put forward publicly by Ukraine. This was my answer >>

@AdamKinzinger was one of Israel’s largest crude oil suppliers during the Gaza war. I’m not saying that Israel should buy the stolen grain, but like many sensational stories, I suspect there is much more to this than the headlines.

@AdamKinzinger Israel’s relationship with Russia is complex and Israel needs to thread a needle with them. Israel needs Russia to not oppose Israel’s actions in Syria. Many Israelis are Russian-speaking and visit family in Russia. Russia uses detainment and harassment as levers. Russia also 1/2

Friends tell friends the truth. The truth: Israel votes with Russia at the UN, takes Putin's calls, and lets him launder stolen Ukrainian wheat through Haifa — while he arms the people trying to kill Israelis. The truth is ugly, and Israel needs to account for this.

@AdamKinzinger @DrEliDavid @JMilei Their mindset is that Israel’s very existence is an affront to them and a source of humiliation. That was behind the original meaning of Nakba (Constantin Zureiq’s Meaning of Disaster). The Palestinian displacement is historical revisionism of the term.

@AdamKinzinger @DrEliDavid @JMilei Adam, I don’t think people in the West truly understand what Israel is up against. Their enemies utterly reject any Jewish sovereignty and would slaughter everyone in Israel if they could. This isn’t hyperbole. Their enemies have always been quite open about it.

Since Britain's Starmer recognized a "Palestinian state," it is only fair that Israel recognizes Argentinian sovereignty over the Malvinas. @JMilei is Israel's closest ally in the world, along with President Trump, who is also considering recognizing the Malvinas. 🇦🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸

But the date was scratched out. And underneath, carved fresh into the stone: "She lived. She's still living. I fixed it." I don't know who's taking the photos anymore. My husband. Or something wearing his promise. But the camera is still clicking. And I'm still here. For now. THE END

My husband died on a Tuesday. Heart attack. Fifty-one years old. No warning. No goodbyes. The funeral was a blur. Casseroles. Sympathy cards. People saying "he's in a better place" like that helps. Two weeks later, I finally opened his laptop. The password was our daughter's birthday. Maya. She's seven. I wasn't looking for anything. Just closing accounts. Canceling subscriptions. The paperwork of death.
