And it doesn’t feel any less heavy.

@LBC @lewis_goodall 6,500 missiles rockets and suicide drones launched by Hezbollah 2 days after the war with Iran began. Lebanon wasn’t part of this war, Hezbollah made it a part of it.

‘Until Israel actually does give peace a chance… we are not going to get anywhere, are we?’ @lewis_goodall and caller Sam disagree on whether Israel's strikes on Lebanon undermine the US-Iran peace deal.

@ABCNewsLive Why would ABC interview someone who supports terrorist organizations?

“It was just utterly shocking devastation.” Lebanese-American journalist Rania Khalek described what she called the “most terrifying” day of her life following the Israeli strikes in Beirut, saying the attacks are being called “Black Wednesday” in Lebanon.

The Anti-Zionist America PAC, or AZAPAC, is backing anti-Israel candidates across party lines in the United States. Some endorsees have blamed Israel and Jews for 9/11 and the Charlie Kirk assassination. At the same time, its founder, Michael Rectenwald, claims Hamas’ October 7 attack was a “false flag” operation and has referred to Jewish people as “the Synagogue of Satan.”

Vic Mensa, a rapper who has collaborated with Kanye West, wrote all about how he lost his therapist after October 7th. Vic describes his therapist, David, as someone who "treated me with so much love, care, and empathy; in no immaterial terms, he saved my life. His work helped me to contextualize the emotions I was experiencing, as no one had ever done before; he never stopped making me feel human." But, while Vic was made to feel human by his therapist, David stopped being human to Vic on October 7th, when he didn't celebrate the massacre of Jews, because he is one himself. Absolutely atrocious. And to admit it openly? As Vic said about the therapist who gave him nothing but grace, "Yikes."

Both images are real.

Suddenly people are worried southern Lebanon will “become another Gaza?” You mean the western world will ignore how a terror group oppresses people there? And look away when that terror group exploits civilian infrastructure to attack Israeli civilians? Will avert their eyes when that terror group builds tunnels and amasses weapons on Israel’s northern border, planning an invasion and massacre like October 7th? Yes, Israel needs to be mindful and avoid civilian casualties. But it’s not Israel fighting back that will make southern Lebanon into Gaza. It’s Hezbollah. Just like in Gaza, it’s Hamas. And it’s the same “activists” wagging their fingers now who spent decades looking away.

“It's very trendy to hate Isreal but I have always said 'fashion for the fragile, style for the brave.’” Thank you @BoyGeorge for speaking the truth about Israel, even when it’s not popular.

BREAKING: A Hezbollah official declares that the group will not accept any direct Lebanon-Israel negotiations. Why would you expect anything else from a proxy of the regime in Iran?

Every time a politician or publication glosses over the Israeli victims of war, an insidious narrative calcifies. That Israelis are our government. That Israeli grandmothers, kindergarten teachers, and children are accountable for their government’s choices. That the deadly attacks on us simply do not deserve to be remembered. That, therefore, as the responsible party, Israelis cannot be victims. Israelis are routinely stripped of the humanity afforded to every other population living through war. They don’t have to say the quiet part. We hear it loud and clear.

If you care about children, you should of course care about them when they are unintentionally killed during attacks on the regime in Iran. But you should also care about them when that same regime abuses them. The regime steals their childhoods and their futures. Where is your fury about that? Pictured: 2 children on a truck in Qom, Iran, with one behind a machine gun wearing a regime forces uniform.

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a Pakistani citizen, pled guilty to planning a mass shooting on Jews on the anniversary of October 7th. This is according to the US Justice Department. The attack was inspired by ISIS and was planned to take place in Brooklyn, New York. On the third anniversary of Hamas's October 7th massacre, as Jews are mourning the loss of our friends and family killed by Hamas. This person planned more slaughter and suffering. Sick.

Maher Qassem Hamdan, in addition to 7 others fleeing the area, were eliminated by the IDF. He was a commander in the Lebanese Resistance Brigades, a terror org founded by and closely linked to Hezbollah. The images of civilian suffering coming out of Beirut and southern Lebanon are horrifying. But we cannot lose sight of the fact that Hezbollah started attacking Israeli civilians on October 8, unprovoked. Israel’s duty is to provide its northern residents with security. That is what it is trying to do.

Eliya Cohen, a former Israeli hostage held by Hamas for 505 days, had surgery on his foot today. Hamas gravely injured Eliya’s foot, and of course during captivity he did not receive proper care. The world vilifies Israel and erases October 7th, screaming that Israel attacked the regime in Iran, Hamas’s backer, without cause. Meanwhile, nearly 3 years later, the victims of that horrible day are still on the long road of recovery from the Hamas massacre. Praying for a successful surgery and Eliya’s speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

I am not comparing Israel to a terrorist organization. I can see clearly who started this. I can see clearly that Hezbollah, a terror group and proxy of the regime in Iran, has fired 6,500 missiles at Israeli civilians. I hold all of that to be true. And I can still look at the people dying in Beirut and mourn them. Those two things do not cancel each other out. henmazzig.substack.com/p/tel-aviv-and…

What did the war with the regime in Iran accomplish? What didn't it accomplish? Read my thoughts here: open.substack.com/pub/henmazzig/…

So, just to get this straight, Ana Kasparian thinks Israeli society is so evil that any change in government would make no difference, because the evil Israelis would still crave baby flesh. Okay. But let's ignore that insane take for now. I'm more interested in this: does she include Arab Israelis or other non-Jewish Israelis in this? Or is it somehow only Israeli Jews that are incapable of "redemption?" Or is she purposely not saying because, like most people who think what she thinks, she knows if she says what she really wants to say, she'll be called an antisemite?

Send this video to every Black voter in Michigan.

@ryangrim Oh yeah standing up against terrorism and support for the 9/11 attack. Wild!

The wheels are coming off at CNN. What are they doing?

“You’re a Jew.” During a stand-up show in New York 🇺🇸, Jewish comedian Judy Gold was interrupted by someone shouting that at her. This is where we are. Because for some people, “You’re a Jew” is used as an insult. And the fact that someone feels comfortable saying it out loud tells you how normalized antisemitism has become.
