It is with great sadness that I note that when Israel attacked hospitals with many terrorist under or above ground with clear evidence the world cried out but when Iran attacks Israeli hospital that don’t host any terrorist the world is quite. Why the double standards always!!!
@HilzFuld The tears don’t stop. Such a special family and special boy. Each loss is another tear in the heart. No words to describe the pain and agony of it all. I am joining you in asking God to end it all. Too hard to bear. Stay strong Hillel
Every time I turn on my phone from Shabbat, I hold my breath out of fear of bad news. Every time I read about a soldier killed, I hold my breath out of fear that it’s a family member or a son of a close friend.
It’s selfish of me. What does it matter if I know them? But I have such deep trauma from my brother, that this is my body’s response, holding my breath.
Till today, I was able to exhale.
Tonight I’m not.
Tonight I lost someone special. A neighbor and a close friend’s son.
This kid was a special one.
The entire neighborhood here is in shock. No one has any words.
The family obviously knows as do the close friends. His name has not been released yet, so I won’t write it but I am just devastated.
The community email just hit my inbox.
I haven’t cried this hard since Ari was murdered.
I want to be strong and say how important this war is and how badly we need to win at all costs but the costs are becoming unbearable.
This kid’s parents are some of the best people I know in the world. They are raising a downs syndrome kid and the love they show this kid is just, no words.
And now this. They lose their other son.
Honestly even before I got the call from my son to tell me what had happened, I had a very bad feeling. I told a friend that I need to disconnect, that I was having a moment. And then I got the call.
Tonight, I can’t exhale. The tears are flowing and honestly, I can’t take much more of this. No one can.
I want to give a positive message here but honestly, I can’t. I’m all out right now. I’m devastated and heart broken.
I guess all I have left in me is to ask Hashem to make it end.
The suffering is too painful. Please Hashem, make it stop.
Someone once told me that we lose the good ones because Hashem wants them near him. This definitely feels like the truth tonight.
What a tragedy. What a loss. It’s impossible.
First time back to @china since @COVID19 life back to normal. I am most impressed to see in #Hangzhou that since 2019 the practice of using #helmets went from zero to over 90%. Reducing critical accidents. Policies with hefty fines work some time. Congratulations
I don't want to hear anything about #WomensHistoryMonth unless we also mention the girls, women, and mothers who have been kidnapped in Gaza since 10/7. If you don't bring attention to them along with #WomensHistoryMonth, you don't care about women.
It’s day 147!!!
Say Something!!!!!
ICN sends our deepest condolences and gives thanks for the extraordinary life of service to the #nursing profession of former ICN President Dr Kim Mo-Im. Read more here: bit.ly/3SRoufa
As fighting intensifies around Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, #Gaza, hundreds of patients and health workers have fled. Currently 350 patients and 5000 displaced people remain at the hospital.
The hospital is running out of fuel, food and supplies.
The intense fighting in the vicinity continues. Access to resupply the hospital remains challenging.
We appeal for a an immediate ceasefire, so that we can replenish urgently needed lifesaving supplies.
Our common humanity is at the heart of the @UN.
Racism & bigotry are a violation of everything we stand for.
We are determined to fight them in all their forms.
For me, this is a lifelong commitment.
For the United Nations, it is a foundational mission.
@antonioguterres@UN Can we get some humanitarian aid to the Israeli hostages and maybe just maybe a visit by the Red Cross. A more balanced approach will serve the UN’s mission. Talking about your coat pocket and the disc is a gimmick
Our @UN colleagues in Gaza are working heroically every day to reach people in need - distributing food, medicine, water & other essential items. But in quantities that are far from enough.
I renew my call for rapid, safe, unhindered & sustained humanitarian access throughout Gaza.
@AirCanada in airport for5 hours, flight canceled and luggage is not returned in #PalmSprings really poor I except much better. The staff is not competent I am super elite member
We live in a small town in a rural part of Ontario.
The closest synagogue is 45 minutes away by car.
We didn’t know a single other Jew here before 10/7–we really thought our little family was all alone.
It made that day feel incredibly isolating.
But something clicked after that.
Someone else in our community felt it too—and they put out a call for others who felt the same.
And one after the other started showing up.
Now, there’s a wonderful little Jewish community here.
Jewish transplants from Toronto, Ukraine, Russia, the US, Turkey, Israel, and Ethiopia—all brought together in small town Ontario.
We even had a community Hanukkah party with about 50 people and lots of kids.
It was a beautiful.
And, it was a refuge from all the anger, all the hatred, and all the uncertainty—and made it just a little easier to bear.
Yes, the last three months have been incredibly difficult, but they are also bringing us together in a beautiful way.
That’s something truly special.
The unbelievable cruelty of Hamas.
The terror group released a new video showing 3 Israeli hostages alive. The video ends with the caption: “Tomorrow we will inform you of their fate”.
One of them is Noa Argamani, whose abduction from the Nova music festival was filmed and echoed around the world. Her mother is terminally ill and today gave a speech saying her wish is to have her daughter back before she dies.

It was 2 am and IDF soldiers noticed some suspicious movements in the horizon. In a time of war, that would generally mean to open fire. But the IDF, being the IDF, waited and then noticed it was a kid, a 4 year old girl.
She was walking around aimlessly without shoes and with multiple wounds.
The IDF soldiers took her to the field doctor, they treated her wounds and helped her in every way they could.
After they treated her, they brought her to the humanitarian corridor so they can try to locate her family and care for her.
Turns out, the child was sent by Hamas into the heart of a war zone to see if the Israeli soldiers were up and alert.
Their cruelty knows no bounds.
Why don’t you see this story in the press? Good question.
If there was ever a story that illustrates the endlessly savage nature of Hamas and the deeply compassionate nature of the IDF, this is it. 🇮🇱❤️💪
"My 20-year-old daughter Adar, an officer, commander and combat soldier in the Search and Rescue Brigade, heard on October 7 that terrorists had infiltrated her military base. With great determination, she and her friends defended 120 newly enlisted soldiers. Adar directed all of them to the shelter and went bravely to fight the terrorists. Please share her story in her memory.” -Zehava (Adar Ben Simon's mother)
May Adar's memory forever be a blessing🕯️
