This must be a pretty short article - haven’t seen any tactics all season.

The decision to attack Iran, kill its Supreme Leader and introduce regime change is one of the most significant strategic geopolitical moments of the past century. It dwarfs the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. For the British government to not even be able to express an opinion on unfolding events is an abdication of the most basic responsibility that comes with national governance.

President Herzog removes his hostage pin.

It's hard to overstate the enormity of the return of Ran Gvili, z"l, for Israelis. A 12-year-old Israeli child has never known a reality in which people who share his nationality aren't held hostage in Gaza just because of who they are. This is closure for the Gvili family, and for the entire people standing behind them. May Israel’s children grow up in the world Ran fought for: one in which they are safe 🇮🇱

משפחת משרד החוץ מרכינה את ראשה עם היוודע הידיעה המרה בדבר פטירתו בטרם עת של השגריר איתן נאה. איתן נאה הצטרף לשירות החוץ בשנת 1991 וכיהן בשורה ארוכה של תפקידים בולטים. בין היתר, איתן כיהן כשגריר ישראל באזרבייג׳אן; כשגריר ישראל בטורקיה לאחר השדרוג-מחדש של דרג היחסים בין המדינות בשנת 2016; שימש כממונה הראשון על שגרירות ישראל באבו דאבי אחרי חתימת הסכמי אברהם וסייע רבות להקמת השגרירות במדינה; וכיהן כשגרירה הראשון של ישראל בבחריין. מעבר לכישוריו הדיפלומטים יוצאי הדופן וליכולתו לבנות גשרים בכל מדינה בה שירת, איתן התבלט במסירותו הרבה לעבודת שירות החוץ. איתן היה ״שחקן נשמה״, ובכל תפקיד אותו מילא בלט ליבו הגדול אותו פתח לכל אדם במשרד ולכל מי שעבד עימו. איתן יחסר רבות לנו במשרד החוץ ולמדינת ישראל. משפחת משרד החוץ מחבקת ושולחת תנחומים לשריל ולילדיו מאיה ואיתי.

Thomas Frank is the opposite of what a Tottenham manager is meant to be, and is one of the worst managers we’ve had. The fact that the board see him as worth backing shows how out of touch with the club they all are. Sack them all.

“We can’t turn off our menorahs!” This interview made me cry. 😢 Every Jewish person needs to watch this.

TWO YEARS TOO LATE: Police say “Globalize the Intifada” chants will finally be banned in London and Manchester. Instead of waiting 2 years for the chant to spark real world violence, maybe they should have just listened to British Jews 🤷‍♂️

A Jewish woman who is the daughter of someone shot at the Bondi Beach massacre is asked by Australian news reporters how the Jewish community is feeling. Her answer? "Is this what you wanted?" After years of Australian Jews being targeted and attacked, of synagogues being burned, of nurses saying they'd kill Jewish patients, of college students throwing around Heil Hitler salutes, of Jewish daycares and schools being vandalized; is it finally enough? Will the Australian people finally listen when their Jews say there is a problem?

President Reagan once reflected on the resilience of the Jewish people, saying: “No people have fought longer, struggled harder or sacrificed more in order to survive, to grow and to live in freedom.” On this first night of Hanukkah, we mourn with those grieving after today’s horrific, antisemitic attack in Bondi Beach and extend our heartfelt condolences. Over the next 8 days, families and loved ones around the world will gather to light the menorah, an enduring symbol of the triumph of good over evil. To all who celebrate, we wish you a peaceful and hopeful Hanukkah.

A message from The King to the people of Australia following the antisemitic terrorist attack at Bondi Beach.

People will try to stop us, but we will always bring light to darkness. Lighting our candles in memory of those who were murdered celebrating Chanukah in Sydney.

This was the Chabad Chanukah party just before the massacre. Look at how many children were there. Entire families were enjoying sufganiot, eating, dancing, and celebrating together. And they were murdered for celebrating Chanukah. For being Jewish.

The warning signs were there. Synagogues torched. Jewish homes and businesses vandalized. Jews abused and assaulted. Today it was Sydney. Tomorrow it will be somewhere else. Any government that doesn't resolutely combat antisemitism—or, worse, contributes to it—is complicit.

Bondi did not come out of nowhere. It came amid a rise in antisemitism in Australia. On Chanukah, a Jewish story repeated across history of refusing to yield to fear, one person ran towards terror with his bare hands. This is how Jews have kept the light alive. 🕯️ 🕎

Turn the tv on

Jews are being HUNTED DOWN around the world. October 7 inspired millions across our planet. The biggest driver of this violence is a hate movement that paints Israel and its supporters as the ultimate evil.

If British Jews are not safe in synagogue due to jihadi terrorism, and cannot attend football matches because of security and face so much extremist racism in hospitals that your Government has to launch an enquiry - where are they safe, Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer?

I wondered if I would ever see this day. It’s deeply gratifying to know that so many families will finally have their loved ones home. Today, twenty families are spared the unbearable pain of not knowing if they will ever see their loved ones again. But even in this moment of relief and happiness, my heart aches for those whose loved ones will not return alive. Bringing their bodies home is a must and an act of dignity and honors their memory forever. I can’t help but feel the presence of my son Andrew at this moment. I am profoundly grateful for the indomitable spirit of President Trump. This day would not have been possible without him.
