i once worked with someone extremely wealthy and what stood out was their mindset and how they never complained about small inconveniences their coffee order was wrong? they just drank it. flight delayed? they pulled out a book. they had this quiet acceptance that some things simply aren’t worth the emotional energy while the rest of us stressed over what we couldn’t control, they had already shifted focus to what they could control. it wasn’t really about money solving problems… it was about having enough security that they didn’t feel the need to fight every battle... they could afford, mentally and emotionally, to let things go.

🇮🇱 Avraham Burg says Israel's growing military power shifted the country away from peace and toward force while still feeling threatened. More weapons but less safe. More power but less peace. At some point you have to ask if the strategy is working...

I instructed today the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants to summon the Iranian Chargé d’Affaires in Lebanon to inform him of the decision to withdraw the agrément for the designated Iranian Ambassador, Mohammad Reza Shibani, declare him persona non grata, and request that he leave Lebanese territory no later than 29 March 2026. 🇱🇧

Imagine how fucked up you've got to be to set an ambulance on fire.

It’s kind of funny that the New Yorker spent a paragraph trying to insist that divine right of kings/mandate of heaven is this unique untranslatable product of the Persian mind.

As so many people, including so many who ought to know much better, are falling for the "Very Violent Settlers" storyline, here's a very brief clarification on what's actually happening on the ground. Palestinians are constantly and violently provoking and attacking their Jewish neighbors: an 18-year-old young man named Yehuda Sherman was killed just this morning when a Palestinian driver deliberately ran him over. Palestinians are also constantly seizing lands illegally, and on the rare occasion that Israel's highly sympathetic courts bother enforcing the law and demanding that they leave, they ignore the orders and grab away. Meanwhile, a battery of "human rights organizations," paid for by the same deep-pocketed NGOs paying for all the progressive chaos worldwide, are spinning out reports accusing Israel of unspeakable crimes, often marking Palestinian terrorists eliminated while murdering Jewish civilians as innocent victims of settler violence. And thanks to a Biden-administration appointed official, these reports are then copy-pasted, word for word, and presented as official American policy. When Palestinians go on murderous sprees, no one registers a complaint. When PA police officers blatantly violate the Oslo Accords, it's all good. But when a Jews respond to constant attacks and provocations by rising up and defending themselves, everyone, including a large swaths of American Jews, hurry to condemn them as dangerous lunatics. This kind of retardation doesn't work anymore: Jews have every right to defend themselves from murderous Palestinian violence everywhere, but especially in their ancestral homeland of Judea and Samaria.

An Israeli academic, Orit Perlov, posted a tweet in Hebrew, later deleted, in which she argued that confronting Iran requires a harsh religious approach targeting Iranian children, citing biblical references to the killing of newborns. She claimed similar tactics were previously applied in Gaza, where over 14,000 children were killed according to UN statistics, and suggested applying the same model in Iran and Lebanon. She also stated that instead of targeting power stations, if top Iranian officials cannot be reached, their children should be killed.

WTF?!
