How many Jews who were neither abducted nor murdered are currently living in Gaza?

“Pro-Palestinians” descended on my account tonight. Unable to admit that the Bibas babies were strangulated by hand, they parrot the lie that the IDF killed them. Another “pro-Palestinian” theory is that Shiri Bibas killed her own kids. Pity the nation that has such supporters.

@aziz0nomics @afalkhatib Thank you for your vision and courage. I am sorry for you too. Even in your plea, Ahmed, you identitfy "dozens" who objected. Unless it's thousands, how are we to hope for 2 states? I'm losing hope that there aren't enough Palestinians who agree. I'm heartbroken and losing hope.

@afalkhatib I completely agree with you, and this is actually an urgent need if we are ever going to achieve our national aspirations. Hamas and those who think like them are a total disaster not only for Israelis but also for Palestinians.

I feel immense shame and pain seeing the barbarism that Hamas & a slew of terror organizations put on in Gaza – the depravity of armed men thinking it’s courageous to parade the bodies of literal toddlers and their mother as some trophy for victory; the sickness, evil, and stupidity required to believe that marching with a locked coffin of an 85-year-old peace activist who did so much for Gazans is somehow good for the Palestinian cause. Instead of having a parade for a dead mother, her two babies, and an elderly man of peace, their bodies should have been handled by medical crews with no armed terrorists in sight. This could have been done differently, but Jihadi fascists chose the appalling spectacle instead. I’m ashamed of any Palestinian who supports or justifies this; I’m ashamed of any “pro-Palestine” activists, “journalists,” or “experts” who are going out of their way to whitewash this and blame Israeli bombardment for killing Israeli hostages without blaming Hamas for taking hostages in the first place. Those who attacked me repeatedly for calling out Hamas and their Jihadi fascism from day one never seem to understand why I view them as a far more serious existential threat to the Palestinian people than any far-right party or government in Israel. Hamas isn’t just bringing death and destruction upon the Palestinian people; it is decaying and eroding the value system of the Palestinian society and causing rot and degradation from within. This is a serious and terrible consequence of the group's actions that will decimate hopes for Palestinian freedom, independence, and sovereignty, not to mention respect among the nations of the world. What transpired today isn’t just illegal, immoral, vile, and disgusting; to me, and many who aspire to have a Palestine worth fighting for, it is a matter of values and principles. It’s imperative for all Palestinians of conscience, even if they’re furious at Israel for what it did to Gaza after October 7, to speak out and say not in our name. It is imperative to distance the Palestinian people from the depraved evil and vile display of fascist cowardice that’s masquerading as “resistance.” It’s time to reject Hamas and separate the Palestinian people’s just and urgent aspirations from a despicable death cult that’s dehumanizing our people time and again. It’s time to denounce all the pro-“resistance” terror enthusiasts in New York, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere who keep cheering on Hamas and are celebrating the shameful parade of dead children, their mother, and an elderly peace activist. I am ashamed that my once beautiful Gaza, with a vibrant society that stood for values and had so much potential to be the crown jewel of the Palestinian people, has been degraded and embarrassed by inhumane terrorists who are a stain on the Palestinians and their cause. Gaza is not Hamas despite the terror group’s control. I have seen dozens of Palestinians in the Strip condemning what took place today and denouncing the inhumanity of Hamas. Saying these words does not making me "self-hating," for I am proud of my Palestinian heritage and care deeply about my people. To the Bibas and Lifshitz families, I am truly sorry for your loss – I grieve with you, and I share your pain. We shall overcome.

A horrible, unbearable day. In Gaza, children were brought to celebrate by the Israeli children’s coffins. In Israel, utterly traumatized citizens are publicly saying that every Gazan should be put to death. In the Israeli press, the Prime Minister’s pet journalist is inciting against our still-independent judiciary, which does not allow indiscriminate killings of enemy civilians. Anyone thinking that this whirlwind of pain and hatred cannot happen is their own country, in their own society, should think again.

“For all those calling for revenge in our name, there are still 70 hostages that need to be returned. That is most important.” Bibas family. (source: channel 12)

“I don’t think we’re in the middle. We stand for something. We stand for values like the protection of civilians, self determination, human rights… liberty.” @hamzeAwawde thank you for joining us this week, your voice is so important.

@hamzeAwawde Every week, my son put up posters for the hostages at UC Berkeley. Always the posters get torn down or covered over, and he repairs or replaces them. In Dec as he put them on a message board, a white student ripped them down and physically assaulted him. History won't forget.

Hi @UNRWA, in just one sentence, how would you characterize your practice of placing Hamas terror chiefs Fateh Sharif and Suhail al-Hindi in charge of all your schools for children, and of allowing Hamas weapons, gunmen, terror tunnels & hostage-taking in your facilities?

Please pray for Yarden Bibas. We cannot possibly comprehend how these next few days will be for him.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Exclusive: We have said that @bbcnews has become a propaganda tool of Hamas. Well here is the proof. Sit down and hold on to something. Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️

This thread is a complete and utter shocker. I’ve been a TV producer in the UK for many years and can confirm the amount of checks and balances we have to do. I’ve even been on BBC producer training for legal issues . How on earth did this get over the line ? I would be very interested to hear what the BBC say about it

@UNRWA “The one providing education in our schools” The education:

1/ Imagine the uproar if a white Christian doctor refused to treat a Muslim Arab patient – or worse, boasted of killing them under their care. The public would be outraged, not only at the cruelty but at the incongruity of such malice from a medical practitioner. 🧵👇🏻

Thes mindless cuts at HHS provide genuine and deep risk to peoples lives. Every death that occurs as a result will be on the heads of every Republican, who voted to confirm RFK Junior

They are not dead hostages They are MURDERED hostages

The family of Hisham Al-Sayed has released an official statement: "Our Hisham will return home after 3,595 days, which is nearly a decade of waiting. The news of his expected return brings joy, but it will not be complete until all the hostages return home. The agreement must not stop here, and no other hostages should face a decade in captivity." We cannot wait to see Hisham back home soon.

These are the 6 hostages being released this Saturday 🧵 Eliya Cohen (27) is a resident of Tzur Hadassah and has three younger sisters. Known for his zest for life, love of travel, and fondness for people, he worked in marketing and real estate after a career as an event producer. On October 7th, Eliya attended the Nova nature party with his fiancée Ziv Abud, her nephew Amit, and Amit's girlfriend Karin. During the attack, while fleeing to a shelter, Amit and Karin were murdered. Ziv survived by hiding beneath their bodies, while Eliya was taken captive.

יונתן דקל חן, אבא של שגיא, היה מרצה שלי בסמסטר הקודם בהר הצופים. למרות המציאות הבלתי נתפסת שנכפתה עליו, שכללה טיסות תכופות לארצות הברית ולמדינות נוספות וקמפיין בלתי נגמר, הוא התעקש להמשיך ללמד את הסטודנטים שלו. מחר שגיא חוזר סוף סוף הביתה משבי החמאס. בזכות המאבק שלו🎗️

עינב היא אחת מהנשים מעוררות השראה שפגשתי. מעטים יודעים כמה היא מסייעת לזרים, או למשפחות שלרגע מאבדות תקווה. לא רק אם לביאה אלא גם הישראלית היפה שהלוואי והיו עוד רבים כמותה. אישה שכולה לב, שנאבקת 498 ימים כדי להשיב את טונטון אליה. ולנו רק נותר לחבק ולעטוף עד שמתן יחזור ויחבק אותה
