I am going on a social media fast. I am being consumed by events around the world and the US and need to step back. Blessings to you all...

@the_jefferymead Maybe if enough people see these videos they may realize that this country is so wonderful in so many ways.

This has been one of the best trends on social media in awhile. Our African friend had his mind blown by a medium rare steak at steakhouse and also free chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. I love our country.

To be very clear: reality is very different from the rhetoric. The IDF takes extraordinary measures to mitigate civilian harm in Lebanon. In fact, as in Gaza, it employs more civilian harm mitigation measures than any military in past or current operations. The IDF issues evacuation warnings through multiple channels including text messages, phone calls, voicemails, flyers, radio, television, and social media. It operates dedicated civilian harm mitigation cells, tracks civilian presence through drones, cell phone data, and other ISR capabilities, and uses rigorous targeting processes that include legal reviews and proportionality assessments for any planned strikes. Legal reviews at lowest tactical level, and with the ability (which happens often as well as command decisions not to strike based on all context) to override commander decisions, unlike any other military. In southern Lebanon, these measures are particularly effective because civilians can move away from military objectives and active combat areas. Even in Beirut, the IDF has repeatedly provided warnings identifying specific buildings that will be struck and when. The warnings have proven so reliable that Lebanese citizens and journalists have set up cameras in advance to record the strikes. When targeting Hezbollah senior leaders, command meetings, or other military objectives in densely populated areas such as Dahiyeh (the Hezbollah controlled neighborhood of Beirut), the IDF relies on precision-guided munitions, small diameter munition (warheads with less explosives), and other low collateral damage munitions, detailed intelligence, and other methods designed to limit collateral damage while achieving the legitimate military objective. There is also no equivalency. Israel does not intentionally target civilians. Hezbollah is a U.S.-designated terrorist organization whose strategy includes deliberately attacking civilians. Hezbollah launches rockets, missiles, and drones at civilian communities in northern Israel (daily, despite any cease fires), targeting homes, schools, businesses, and civilian infrastructure. One side conducts legal reviews, proportionality assessments, civilian warnings, and precision strikes against military objectives. The other is a international designated terrorist group that intentionally places military assets among civilians while deliberately targeting civilians.

Brilliantly said. @LizzySavetsky You're Amazing 🌸

An Open Letter to @VP President J.D. Vance This week you stood at the @WhiteHouse podium and told the world that @POTUS Trump is the only head of state left who is sympathetic to Israel — and that Israel cannot "kill its way out" of the dangers around her. You offered it as a rebuke. Receive it as one returned. Be precise about the paper you were defending. It reopens the Strait of Hormuz to the regime that closed it. It lifts the blockade on Iran's ports. It cracks the door to sanctions relief and billions in frozen assets flowing back to Tehran. It silences the guns on every front, including Lebanon, while leaving Iran's missiles intact and her proxies in place. It was signed over dinner at Versailles. And tonight it is celebrated in Tehran as a victory over Israel and America both. Then you turned to the one nation that has actually bled to stop a nuclear Iran — and lectured her about restraint. You call this sympathy. We have a longer memory than that. Israel has never survived on the sympathy of the powerful, and she has buried every man certain he knew what was best for the Jews. Pharaoh was certain. Haman — in this very Persia whose regime you now court — held the king's signet ring and a date on the calendar, and ended on the gallows he built. Babylon was certain. Rome carved its certainty into a triumphal arch that still stands in a city of ruins, while the people it mocked rebuilt their own. Every empire was sure of its leverage. Every one is now a chapter in someone else's book — and the someone is us. You speak of isolation as though it were a verdict. We have heard that verdict in a dozen languages across thirty centuries. We mourned. We endured. We outlived the men who pronounced it. Now hear what is written, because you have entered a story older than this administration. The prophet Ezekiel foresaw a latter day when a vast coalition — Gog of Magog, with Persia at its side — would mass against a restored Israel like a cloud covering the land. And in the hour she appears to stand utterly alone, deliverance comes not from the armies of men. The earth convulses. Confusion falls until every invader's sword turns on his brother. Fire and hailstones rain from heaven. When it ends, Israel does not call for foreign aid to clear the field — she burns the weapons of her enemies for seven years. And the nations are made to understand whose people these are: they shall know that I am the LORD. Israel's survival was never indexed to American approval. She needs no memorandum, no signature at a French palace, no fourteen points authored by men who will be out of office before the ink fades. Your pressure is a footnote in a chapter finished before any of us were born. Genesis 12:3 has not been repealed: I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse. It is not a slogan. It is the operating principle of history — and the evidence is every empire I just named. President Trump built a historic friendship on that truth, and the blessing followed the friendship. It does not follow the pressure. America's standing before God is not secured by lecturing the Jewish state into weakness; it is secured by standing with her when it is hard. So before this country lectures Israel again, remember the pattern, because it is unbroken: every generation produces men — powerful, clever, sure of their own good intentions — convinced they know what is best for the Jews. And every generation has been corrected, not by the Jews, but by history, and by the God who keeps His covenant. Politicians come and go. Administrations rise and fall. Memorandums are signed and quietly broken. The Jewish people endure. Small in size. Ancient in history. Unbreakable in spirit. She does not seek your permission to survive. She will defend herself because she must — and because the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob fights for her, as He always has. עם ישראל חי — the people of Israel live.

@GadSaad Shabbat shalom, Gad...

Notwithstanding all that I'm going through these days, I wish you all a good weekend. Shabbat shalom.

@conmomma When do you think our political leadership will understand this? I'm so freakin' disgusted with the level of disconnect with reality from this administration at this point.

The current administration was willing to relieve Iran sanctions and provide $300 billion in investments, funding/projects -for reconstruction and economic development through regional partners. And what did Iran do, they decided to keep bombing Israel through its proxy Hezbollah. They delayed US talks in Switzerland scheduled for today, and are threatening to close the Straight of Hormuz. Why? Because you are dealing with an ideology that is at its core apocalyptic.

Oh get off your high horse... you think we can return to the 19th century and just sequester ourselves from anything and everything? You think we should just pull ourselves in and try to be like the three monkeys? See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil? Get real. The terrorists are here. They are in OUR country. And the ONE country (Israel) that has fought this battle from its inception has a LOT of innovation and intelligence to share with us. But yeah, let's throw them to the wolves too. Let's abandon Western allies who actually gave us the foundation of Western civilization and drink the slop of the mullahs and barbarians who are smiling in our faces while stabbing us in our backs. We'll go back to 19th century standards alright, but I don't think it's a world YOU want to live in.

If you love a foreign nation more than America, perhaps it’s time you do us all a favor and move there for good! Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Qatar. Antarctica. Whatever. No more passport bros in our movement. Fight your own wars. We’re done.

I'm sure you meant that for Hamas... the ones who strangled three babies and then paraded their coffins around to cries of adulation? The only babies that die are the ones the enemy puts in the way. You know what? If the rockets and missiles stopped, Israel would not fire a shot. If the invasions and killing stopped, there would never be another death. Good work on the psyops though... the gullible are taking it hook, line, and sinker.

@sheilanazarian @bennyjohnson Or maybe if Israel didn’t start all this shit we wouldn’t need that “intelligence”. You can start by not killing babies, DOCTOR.

@EliAfriatISR Shabbat shalom!

If you support Israel, please comment below with "Shabbat Shalom." 🙏 Let's show our unity and strength together.🇮🇱🤍

People often ask why I bother pushing back against the anti-Israel propaganda... I have no ties to Israel in any way. I don't even think I know any Jewish people outside of the online platforms I am active on. I would like to visit some day because of the historical significance of the Levant and because I enjoy visiting foreign places with rich history that genuinely like and get along with Americans. I am not interested in Israeli politics. I am not concerned with the ongoings of their country beyond how they are a strategic ally to my country. I'm a Christian from Texas, after all. My kids will grow up in the United States, not Israel. So, again, people may wonder why I would subject myself to the hate and push back from so many that would vilify Israel, and my answer is simple. I do so because I care about the truth. I also do so because I was trained to see beyond the narratives, beyond the face of propaganda and psyops, and all of the way to the truth of how messaging can be manipulated, amplified, and repeated until it becomes accepted as truth. I watched the information environment change after October 7, 2023. I watched the shift happen in real time as our enemies used a horrific attack that they knew would generate a massive, destruction filled response to try and convince people that the initial terrorist aggressors were right and that Israel, acting in defense of their nation... in defense of those thousand plus innocent people that were murdered in their homes, in the streets, and at a concert... was wrong. Imagine if that had happened to Americans. How would we have reacted? How much destruction would we have wrought in retribution to such an act? I think we all know the answer... So, I watched as people picked up propaganda that has been debunked for over a hundred years and share it as if it confirmed their every belief. I watched as our enemies realized that the key to finally defeating the American right was simply to convince them of the oldest and dumbest propaganda the world has ever seen. It was propaganda made for illiterate peasants, but it worked like a charm because most Americans know absolutely nothing about history and even less about geopolitics or the realities of our strategic alliances. All it took was getting a few big names to push it. All they needed was to grind it into the old grievances that already existed on the right due to mistrust in our institutions and the war fatigue GWOT created for so, so many. From a propaganda standpoint... the effort was absolutely impressive. If I wanted to destabalize a first world nation, my information operations would have looked similar. And that is what should trouble you all. Our enemies know exactly what they are doing. Democrats know exactly what they are doing as well. Democrats are not only involved, but fully behind such propaganda because it distracts us from what we should really be talking about: how progressive leftists are trying to fundamentally change our great country. And the truly worrisome part is not just that it is dividing our side and distracting us from the real domestic enemy, but that it is convincing Americans, especially young Americans, that all of their problems are the result of a small faction of people ruling the world... It has already likely damaged multiple generations of Americans to an extent that I am not sure if we can recover from it, and now the VP is mimicking some of the same talking points as we head into midterms that may be the most important midterms in generations... We must push back, lest we lose everything that makes us great.

@Adi13 Shabbat shalom. Remember, the Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. Baruch HaShem.

Shabbat Shalom 💙 Wishing everyone a good weekend 🌸

From the Hudson Institute -- US military technology does not strictly originate from Israeli innovation, but it benefits immensely from a highly collaborative defense-tech partnership where Israel serves as a major R&D asset and combat-testing laboratory. While foundational US capabilities are developed domestically, the Pentagon actively integrates and co-produces Israeli innovations to accelerate development and save costs. Key areas where the US military heavily utilizes or adapts Israeli technologies include: Missile & Active Defense: The US military relies on the Trophy Active Protection System (integrated onto US Army Abrams tanks) to defend against anti-tank missiles, and has directly acquired Iron Dome batteries for homeland defense. Furthermore, the US co-develops advanced systems like Arrow and David's Sling. Artificial Intelligence & Autonomous Systems: Israel’s robust start-up ecosystem drives major advancements in AI-powered loitering munitions, sensor-to-shooter targeting networks, and cyberwarfare. The US Department of Defense has increasingly partnered with these sectors, establishing a direct footprint for the Defense Innovation Unit in Israel. Combat & Operational Data: Because Israel faces constant, real-world security threats, its military provides the US with invaluable battlefield data and tactics. For example, Israeli adaptations in tunnel warfare, forward trauma care, and F-35 fleet operations help the US military refine its own training and capabilities. Sounds like to me that Israeli advancements offer a lot to where we stand militarily. We better look at what we're tossing when we sign MOUs that don't include the allies it affects.

@writingzombie @WhiteHouse As Vance and Trump said, if the US didn't intervene, Iran would have blown Israel up. Don't be ungrateful. 2/3 of your military equipment and technology is the American taxpayers money. Without the US, you economy and everything else would collapse to stone age.

"The United States is committed to PEACE... We expect a complete Ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

@EliAfriatISR Backstabber

Describe this man in one word.

@HormuzLetter Well, maybe when Hezbollah quits bombing Israel, things will de-escalate.

BREAKING: Iran has suspended its entire 60-day negotiation period with the US over the direct violation of the MOU's first clause, with Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon constituting a breach less than 24 hours after the MOU was electronically signed, per Fars and Al-Mayadeen. Iran's negotiating delegation had already been preparing to depart for Switzerland to launch the first round of talks before Iran made the decision to suspend the entire trip. Iran will also not unilaterally fulfill its commitments, and until Iran is fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the US has practically adhered to the first-clause obligations, talks remain cancelled.

The relationship between the U.S. and Israel is not transactional, it is a long and vital partnership, but the next time you hear the tired question of "What does the U.S. get for $3.8 Billion to Israel," answer simply - RETURNS. R – Research, Innovation, and the Combat Laboratory Access to one of the world's most active laboratories for military innovation, where new technologies, concepts, and operational methods are developed, tested, and refined under real combat conditions. Combined with one of the world's leading defense technology and startup ecosystems, this environment generates technological advancements, operational insights, and innovation that would be difficult, expensive, and in many cases impossible to replicate through peacetime experimentation, exercises, simulations, or war games. E – Economic Benefits American jobs and manufacturing supported through purchases of U.S.-made military equipment, while strengthening the U.S. defense industrial base through joint production, co-development, and missile defense cooperation for the benefit of the U.S. military and American national security. T – Technology Access to military technologies refined in combat, from active protection systems and missile defense to counter-drone capabilities, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies. U – Unique Understanding of Modern Warfare Battlefield lessons drawn from one of the world's most active conflict environments, providing insights into urban warfare, tunnel warfare, missile defense, drones, battlefield medicine, artificial intelligence, and modern combat. These lessons help the United States adapt and prepare without having to learn them first through American casualties, American mistakes, or American wars. R – Regional Stability Through Alliance A capable ally helping deter common adversaries and maintain stability in one of the world's most strategically important regions while remaining willing and able to fight alongside the United States when necessary. N – National Security Intelligence Intelligence that helps prevent attacks against Americans, American forces, and American interests while improving U.S. understanding of shared threats, adversaries, and emerging security challenges. S – Strategic Freedom to Focus on China Greater freedom for the United States to concentrate military, diplomatic, and economic resources on long-term competition with China in the Indo-Pacific while helping preserve a favorable balance of power in the Middle East.

An Israeli friend that wishes to remain anonymous wrote this. Please share. The Letter Israel’s Prime Minister Cannot Write Mr. President of the United States, There are things the Prime Minister of Israel cannot say to you. He’s bound by diplomacy. He’s committed to alliances. He must measure every word. I, on the other hand, am not restricted by these things. I write to you as an Israeli citizen who happens to also be an American. As a former soldier whose friends have children who are also active soldiers. As a someone with strong roots in the north. As a person who lived in a country that has buried soldiers, children, families, neighbors, and friends, and still stands tall. And therefore, Mr. President, when you speak about Israel as if it owes you its very existence, perhaps it is time to bring you back down to earth. Israel did not begin with Donald Trump. Israel was not born in the White House. Israel was not established because of a tweet, a speech, a deal, or a press conference. Israel was built from the blood of generations. From pioneers who buried children and kept plowing. From fighters who fell so others could live. From mothers who waited for sons who never returned. From families who were burned, slaughtered, expelled, returned, and built a home here. So, thank you for your support. Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for the moments when you stood beside us. But do not be confused. You did not save Israel. Israel is saved every day by the soldiers of the IDF, the intelligence services, the security forces, the citizens who remain dedicated to living on the borders, and this people that refuses to disappear. And then you tell the world that a Syrian rebel leader turned president can deal with Hezbollah better than Israel. Really? If what you mean is that he can do what Israel will never do, slaughter without warning, erase without checking, turn an entire village into a “security solution,” then yes, he is probably faster. Barbarians always work quickly. They do not pause for morality, for children, for uninvolved civilians, or for conscience. But do not call that victory. And do not compare that to the IDF. Because the Israel Defense Forces does not need a lesson in security from someone who mainly knows the language of blood & violence. The Jewish people do not need permission to exist from any leader in the world. Mr. President, In the north of Israel, there is no “theoretical”. No committees. No PR headlines. There are empty homes. There are children who have not returned to their childhoods. There are communities that have lived for years under threat. There are families who received a knock at the door. There are soldiers who fell so Northern towns can live. And when you say “enough,” when you speak as though this can be wrapped up because it interferes with your agenda, you are not talking about some place on a map. You are talking about our home. Israel values alliances. Israel knows how to say thank you. Israel does not forget who stood by its side. But Israel is not a puppet state. It does not wait for permission to defend its children. It will not abandon its border because it is convenient for Washington. And it will not apologize for refusing to die quietly. Mr. President, Perhaps you have grown accustomed to thinking that everything begins and ends with you. It does not. The people of Israel were here before you. The State of Israel will be here after you. And our north will not be a playing card in your game. If you think you can explain to us who will guard our home better than our own children, then perhaps you truly have lost your north. We have not. And we do not intend to leave or lose the north no matter what you say!

@Maccabi226km I was thinking the same thing last night and today. This betrayal is hard to swallow.

⚠️ I’ve hit “that moment” ⚠️ I’m stepping away from X for a while. I’ve spent the last 2.5 years writing, fighting, advocating, and speaking up for the things I believe matter. I gave you my all. And, through it all, you’ve been there with me. But if I’m honest, this latest betrayal by Trump has hit me much harder than I expected. I’m angry. I’m disappointed. And most of all, I’m heartbroken. I can’t pretend everything is fine when it clearly isn’t. Right now, I need some time away from the noise, away from the outrage, and away from the endless cycle of news to clear my head and regain some perspective. To everyone who has supported me, challenged me, encouraged me, and stood beside me over these past 2.5 years: thank you. Your friendship and support have meant more than you know. I love you all. Am Israel Chai See you on the other side.

@JohnHHolliday17 @MattRJBrodsky @koshercockney From your mouth to G-d's ears....

@MattRJBrodsky @koshercockney Don't know about any reset. But I do believe that Vance no longer has a political career.

Vance, being the vile scumbag that he is, tore Israel to shreds as his mic drop moment before leaving the briefing room. We now have the Tucker presidency. I would never vote for him and with luck this disaster will reset the Republican Party.
