Am I crazy or is the New York Times podcast lady actually trying to argue that insulting Jewish people is worse than the mass murder of children?

When asked: 'how many babies have you sniped?' Eastland Christopher Staveley replied: 'not enough'. Staveley is a British jewish doctor.

Let’s talk about Khaled Daher. A paramedic in Lebanon’s Civil Defence. Not a fighter. Not a “target.” A first responder who ran toward danger to save lives. Two days ago, he was killed, along with two of his colleagues, when they were directly targeted while trying to rescue a civilian trapped under rubble. But his story doesn’t start there. Khaled wasn’t just a paramedic. He was the backbone of his family. After his brother died in Bulgaria, he went searching for him, across borders & through uncertainty, until he finally located his grave & brought him back to Lebanon, where he laid him to rest. He then became a father figure to his brother’s daughter, raising her as his own, carrying a responsibility that wasn’t his to bear, but one he chose anyway. He was a son, a brother, a provider, a quiet pillar holding others up. And in the end, he died the same way he lived, trying to save someone else. Khaled Daher didn’t just lose his life. His family lost their support. People lost the man who showed up when everything else fell apart. His niece has now lost both fathers. Khaled spent his life saving others. He was killed while doing exactly that. This is what is being lost. Over 103 medics and rescue workers have been killed since March 2. Not numbers. First responders. Lives that held other lives together.

🔸New: Israeli Court Extends Detention of Abducted Flotilla Activists by Two Days An Israeli court in Ashkelon extended the detention of Global Sumud Flotilla activists Thiago de Avila and Saif Abukeshek until May 5, following their abduction by the Israeli navy in international waters on April 30, according to Adalah, the Palestinian legal rights organization representing them. The state sought a four-day extension, citing suspicions including assisting the enemy during wartime and membership in a “terrorist” organization. No formal charges have been filed. Adalah attorneys argued the entire proceeding is illegal, saying Israel has no jurisdiction over foreign nationals seized in international waters. Both men, who have testified to beatings, isolation, and blindfolding amounting to torture, are continuing their hunger strike. Source: Adalah 📸 By Yoav Etiel, Walla
