@HilzFuld Modiin Mall was packed yesterday. Much more busy

This is what it’s like here in Israel, even in a place that’s been targeted multiple times. Israelis are different level awesome.

@HilzFuld We should organise a watch meetup in Tel Aviv sometime.

As someone who has only recently gotten into watches, I have a pretty controversial opinion. The two most underrated brands in the watch world are Seiko and Timex. Before you laugh, go check out some of the new Timex watches and then go look at some of the best selling Seiko watches. While brands like Rolex or Omega have basically stopped innovating and are getting pretty stale, Timex and Seiko continue to release some really nice timepieces. Both brands are doing incredibly impressive things over the past few years. I just got these, for example. Real beauties.

@HilzFuld Also I recommend @mike.thiswatchthatwatch?si=jJbPEWqI_44B8doZ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@mike.thiswatc…

If you’re into watches, what are some good accounts to follow here or on Instagram/tiktok? I’ve been infected with the bug. 😁

@EylonALevy In a normal country, the governing body is answerable to the electorate, not a bunch of perpetually self appointed unelected elite bureaucrats with zero accountability.

אני יודע שאנחנו לא מדינה נורמלית, אבל שווה להזכיר שבמדינה נורמלית שר מתפטר על אמירה כזו, או שמפוטר במקום.

@elonmusk @cb_doge What nursery school did you go to? Carmel?

@baldassarreted Got the black 40mm. Fantastic piece

We’re kicking off the weekend with Longines’ versatile Conquest Heritage. Paying homage to the brand’s first Conquest from the 1950s, this silver dial model goes for classic dress watch style with its 38mm diameter and leather strap styling, and is powered by the automatic L888 caliber. Let us know what your current favorite watch from Longines is in the comments! #Longines #LonginesWatches #LonginesConquest #Watches #WatchCommunity #WatchEnthusiast

@GilR @naftalibennett As well! At this point I'm wondering what he wouldn't say or do to try get votes from the leftist anti bibi crowd. In the end they will betray him and vote for Eisenkot anyways and he will be left with nothing.

@naftalibennett I've lost so much respect for you over the past few months. I'm so ashamed that I voted for you each time you ran.

אתמול, שעות לפני כניסת הצום, התפרסם כמעט בהסתר שארה״ב העניקה ביום שני לקטאר ערבות הגנה לפיה אם קטאר תותקף, ארה״ב תיחלץ, גם צבאית, להגנתה. כיון שזה כל כך בלתי נתפס, אסביר זאת בפשטות: אותה מדינה נבזית, קטאר, שמימנה את טבח ה-7/10, חגגה אותו, ומעניקה עד היום חסות לחמאס ולמנהיגיו זוכה היום לברית הגנה מהמעצמה הגדולה בעולם: לפי הצו הנשיאותי כל פגיעה מזויינת בקטאר, בריבונותה או בתשתיות החיוניות שלה - תחשב פגיעה בבטחונה של ארה״ב. במקרה כזה ארה"ב תנקוט בכל הצעדים כולל דיפלומטיים כלכליים וצבאיים להגן על האינטרסים של קטאר. נתניהו מסתיר זאת מאיתנו. עברו כבר 72 שעות מהארוע, ועד לרגע זה לא שמענו ממנו או מהממשלה אף מילה על אסון מדיני זה. מדוע ישראל לא בלמה זאת? האם היתה כאן הסכמה? מתי נודע לנתניהו על כך? זוהי מפולת מדינית- בטחונית ברמה החמורה ביותר, שתשפיע עלינו שנים קדימה. שינוי מאזן כוחות לרעת ישראל במזרח התיכון. האבסורד בלתי נתפס: לאחר טבח השבעה באוקטובר, שבו נרצחו, נאנסו ונחטפו טובי בנינו ובנותינו, הובילה אותנו הממשלה בחדלונה המדיני להכרה במדינה פלשתינאית, ברית הגנה של ארה"ב-קטאר, ועוד לא ראינו איך יסתיימו הדברים עם סוריה וטורקיה. הממשלה הזו חייבת ללכת הביתה כמה שיותר מהר, ולאפשר להנהגה חדשה לשקם את ישראל מההריסות. זה יקרה בקרוב.

@EYakoby The woke right would vote for mamdani over cuomo. Unfortunately I don't have much hope for NY

A majority of New Yorkers do not want Zohran Mamdani to lead the city. Every single poll shows that Sliwa has zero chance of winning in a head to head race, it’s time for him to do the right thing and drop out.

@EYakoby Unfortunately, with the direction gen z republicans are headed, many might vote for mamdani over cuomo...

BREAKING: New NYC mayoral polls without Adams show that Cuomo is beating out Sliwa by 12-13%. It’s time for Sliwa to do the right thing and drop out.

@Avishai_ab @expedition33 @Borderlands Incredible soundtrack

Addictive turn-based combat, a great story, and a clever Pictos/Luminas system that makes every build feel unique. @expedition33 is my favorite new release this year (still need to dive into @Borderlands 4). Might even write a Pictos guide.

@HilzFuld The only way it is not antisemitic is if the person who criticizes has been critical of other far worse governments as well as comparable western governments who have governed during war. Since most of these people have not they are clearly antisemitic

Criticizing the Israeli government is not intrinsically antisemitic but 99% of the people who do are deeply antisemitic.

@HilzFuld I'm hearing we missed...

Waiting for some good news!

@charliekirk11 You have it inverted. Islam is using the left to destroy the west.

Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America.

@DrEliDavid The state of Tel Aviv is 100% concerned about climate change...

Of all Western countries, people in Israel 🇮🇱 are the least concerned about climate change 👇 Proud to be an Israeli 😇 _

@AmitSegal Judicial Reform now!

A very unusual, yet revealing discussion took place in a closed-door High Court hearing yesterday on a petition against National Security Minister Ben Gvir’s decision not to allow the Red Cross to visit the murderers and rapists of Hamas’ Nukhba unit in Israeli prisons. Speaking to the national security minister, Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit was blunt. “Right now, what the world sees is that prisons in Israel are Guantanamo,” he said. “That’s what’s being published abroad: that there’s starvation, that dozens of prisoners are dying—it’s really the Israeli Guantanamo—and you’re putting us, the court, at the front, in the spotlight.” Justice Daphne Barak-Erez then levelled further criticism at Ben Gvir. “Families of terrorists in Gaza also don’t know that they’re in prison, they’re prisoner X. True, they committed heinous acts, but not to know they’re in Israel? Even in the most difficult times there was never such a situation.” She then turned to the head of the IDF Intelligence Directorate, asking, “is your organization so weak that you cannot handle a single Red Cross representative from the United States?” How did the intel chief respond? “Even about this very hearing, the terrorists in the prisons are talking, and they are hoping you will approve a Red Cross visit.” Still wondering what I’m getting at? While Israeli courts are asking Jerusalem why it won’t allow the Red Cross to visit the most depraved of Hamas terrorists, the Red Cross hasn’t even bothered to visit Israeli hostages in Gaza. Remember what the Red Cross said in December 2023? Meeting with organization president Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, Netanyahu asserted, “you have every avenue, every right and every expectation to place public pressure Hamas.” Spoljaric’s response? “It is not going to work because the more public pressure we seemingly would do, the more they will shut the door.” In other words, when it comes to Israelis, the famed humanitarian group doesn’t bother to lift a finger. 📷: Amos Ben Gershon/GPO

@RoyTopol Nvidia = Apple + Tesla!

There is no force on Earth that moves the world forward, creates wealth, jobs and prosperity quite like American capitalism. Nvidia - just ONE US company - is now worth more than the entire stock markets of most developed countries!

@ianmiles @DrEliDavid Unfortunately the Chinese port deal was made during the Obama era when it wasn’t certain that the US would have Israel’s back, in light of the Iran deal. To be honest, it’s still not certain that after Trump, the US will support Israel.

Dr. Eli David condemned the Netanyahu government's policy regarding China on the Israeli Fox News channel. “It's now clear to us that the real war is between China and the United States. We can see the war — the question that interests us is: where are we in this war? I'm not sure we understand where we stand. I want to remind you that we are still on the list of pariah countries as far as the U.S. is concerned when it comes to AI chips. Everyone said that the moment Trump comes back, he’ll cancel it. I told everyone — he won’t cancel it because we ended up there due to our ties with China. That’s what the Americans are saying. Just two weeks ago, the Ministry of Transportation gave China two more docks in the Haifa port — we don’t get it. It was published, it’s out there — and we still don’t understand. We’ll get hit hard. The Americans are already upset with us behind the scenes. I can tell you — we don’t understand where we are. We don’t understand that we’re part of the American alliance, and this mutual flirtation with China — we’re going to pay a heavy price for it.”

@AmitSegal KGB

A reservist Shin Bet official was arrested last Wednesday on suspicion of leaking classified information to unauthorized individuals. Sounds bad? Well, the story is actually pretty simple. Ronen Bar told Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara a chilling story about the takeover of the police by Kahanism—as manifested on Tisha B'Av on the Temple Mount. Baharav-Miara wanted more information, but to Bar's embarrassment, it turned out that there was no basis to his claims. In an attempt to restore his standing with the attorney general and his own people, Bar launched a secret and unprecedented investigation of the police, under suspicion of "the spread of Kahanism to the police" and ordered "a number of findings to be brought forward." This investigation also ended in nothing. The attorney general was not bothered by this, and she included the false claims as part of her arguments to the Supreme Court, without noting that it was professional jargon for hogwash. Then, I published a report about the sham investigation, which embarrassed both Bar and Baharav-Miara. But there's just one problem: they both have the tools to hunt down anyone who exposes them, and so they threw him—the Shin Bet official—into custody without a lawyer. Why? What did he do wrong? How can he compromise a "confidential" investigation that led nowhere and had no basis in the first place? Will it expose Shin Bet sources? Well, when there are no sources, it is difficult to locate them. In a climate where people care, even narrowly, about appearances and freedom of press, you don't hunt sources out of personal motives. A serious organization would work to check itself to see what caused it to jump head-first into a false investigation, not double down.

@RoyTopol Well timed @RoyTopol
