@EylonALevy Bernie Sanders is an off the wall politician who likes to shock.
It helps him to stay relevant when he isn't.

I can’t believe this is a real tweet

Congrats to Jeremy Corbyn for winning his seat as an Independent in the UK elections with a strong grassroots campaign. Corbyn made the mistake of believing that the Labour Party should represent labor – and was expelled. His constituents disagreed. Now he’s back.

If all the so called experts on Uk's royalty would keep their opinions to themselves there some chance of a reonciliation between the King and Harry

@BenCaspit Most Israelis took an emotional rather than a logical attitude to Kahn's announcement

עוצמת הכשלון הישראלי בכל הקשור לצווי המעצר מהאג היא בלתי נתפסת.
התובע, קארים חאן, נחשב לאוהד ישראל.
כן, אני רציני. תבדקו אותי בקרב כל המומחים שיש כאן.
הוא מיסמס את החקירה של קודמתו, ששקלה לפתוח בהליכים פליליים נגד ישראל (בנושאים אחרים). בדיוק כפי שציפו ממנו. הוא בקשר הדוק ומצויין עם בכירים ישראלים עוד בטרם נכנס לתפקידו. וגם היום. וביקר כאן לפחות פעמיים אחרי הטבח (אמור היה להגיע שוב).
כמעט כל מדינות ערב הסתייגו ממינויו.
בתמונה כאן, הוא יושב עם ניצולים ומשפחות חטופים, כמה שבועות אחרי הטבח.
על פי עדים שהשתתפו בפגישה, הוא בכה. שמע את העדויות, ובכה.
אם הצלחנו אחרי כל זה לקבל את צווי המעצר, אנחנו צריכים להביט גם על עצמנו במראה.
זה לא רק אנטישמיות. זה לא רק אנטי-ישראליות. זה גם השחץ והרהב, ההתפארות האינסופית, הלרוץ לספר לחבר'ה, ואם אפשר לצרף סרטון.
ההצהרות המטומטמות של שרים, ח"כים, זמרים שטופי אגו ומי לא על עמלק, על גירוש, על "אטום על עזה".
מדינה מטומטמת.
בלי קשר לביבי, כמובן. הוא ליגה אחרת.

@Jerusalem_Post @greerfc1 Where is the list of attendees?
Yeah, I thought so 🤡

Considering Israel’s apparent isolation in the world, the number of greetings that President Herzog received from world leaders and the huge diplomatic turnout for the Independence Day reception that Herzog hosted, were extremely heart-warming.

@realrabbilinda Israwl admits to imperfections but doesn't specify what they are. How anyone talk about Tikun Olam - fixing the world - if they won't acknowledge what's wrong?

@JustLuai With all the education we receive, how is it that so many people are still ignorant of the fact that sexual orientation is not a matter of choice?
English

In the past few weeks, many Arabs and Muslims have discovered that I am not heterosexual.
Since then, they have weaponized my sexuality against me. Words like "gay" and "faggot" are hurled at me every day now.
So let me get this straight. I am gay, and I am not ashamed of who I am.
I was ashamed of myself in Yemen; for twenty years, I was taught to hate myself. As a child, I learned in school from my Islamic Studies teachers that I should be killed for something I never chose.
Every night, I prayed to God, asking Him to cure me from the gay ”phase”, to make me "normal" so that I could go to Heaven as a good Muslim.
My culture and my people convinced me that my very existence was a sin, that I was sick, and that the only cure for this supposed sickness was the death penalty.
And honestly, I stand with Jews today, not as an act of defiance against my culture, as some believe. But because, as a gay man, I know what it feels like to be hated and loathed for something that I did not choose.
Gay never occupied a Muslim country, yet we face death penalties in 13 Muslim countries and jail in 43 Muslim countries – simply for being gay.
I stand against this. It’s called self-preservation.
I am not ashamed of my sexuality. I am ashamed of my culture that seeks my blood because of something I did not choose.
So, go ahead, call me gay, a faggot, a murtad, a kaffer. I no longer fear your words or knives.
And most certainly, I am not afraid of the "Hell" that you keep speaking of. I lived through hell under Sharia for 20 years, where I was forced to conceal my identity so that I wouldn’t get killed. For simply exiting. For being different.
I am privileged enough to say that I no longer fear you and that I no longer live under Sharia anymore. But I do fear for my gay brothers and sisters who still live among you and must endure a life of fear, denial, and taught self-hatred.
Who are told in schools and mosques that they are sins and that they should be killed.
I fear for their lives and I aim to be a voice for them. Because when I grew up in Yemen, I did not see a single person speak up for my rights and my right to existence.
I wanna be the person that I wish 14-year-old me watched on the internet after coming back home from Islamic Studies classes, where my teachers taught me to be fearful of God and to believe that I should either conceal my identity or be killed.

@Doron_Kadosh How disgusting. Another example of the army's insensitivity. Instead of giving him a medal they dumped him in prison

@Israel Nice to see all the congratulatory messages. Pleasant change after so much criticism of Israel

75 years ago today, the State of Israel was born, fulfilling a dream thousands of years in the making 🇮🇱.
Thank you to the visionaries, heroes and dreamers who made this possible.
"Our hope will not be lost,
The hope of 2,00 years,
To be a free nation in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem"- Hatikvah
