Hi, Jew here. Please stop comparing vaccination campaigns to Nazis. Please stop comparing the IDF to Nazis. Please stop comparing anything you dislike even mildly to the damn Nazis.
Very proud to say that I am now Managing Editor of The Jerusalem Post website.
I've learned so much from my time at the Post, and that knowledge keeps growing and growing. The pride in working at such an important publication grows by the day. I can't wait to keep it going.
Haley said that "it was our sovereign right to put our embassy wherever we wanted. If Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, which it is," that's where the embassy should be.
"It took great courage for the president to... acknowledge this great truth."
The flag march in Jerusalem was, for the most part, peaceful. But even so, some were celebrating, waving their flags and yelling "death to the Arabs." This is not all of Israel to be sure, but it represents a hateful mindset and it is a danger to everyone in the region.
Israelis are celebrating the

Israeli women were assaulted on October 7, yet they are not equal in value to other women. That is what the world has made clear.

speaks on being a woman in power
A mission team led on a trip through Israel by United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict found that there was substantial evidence of hostages and survivors of October 7 being raped by Hamas terrorists.
Qatari officials have been telling multiple media outlets that they are attempting to solve the delay in the return of the hostages ASAP. Qatar is doing everything in its power to appear crucial in this deal despite de facto funding Hamas, thus creating the problem to solve.
The transfer of hostages is happening at any moment. No one is entirely clear on what stage of the transfer we're in, but Hamas is going to transfer the prisoners to the Red Cross in Egypt who will in turn transfer the hostages to Israel.
There's something so powerful about stopping on the side of the highway along with a handful of other cars to stand for the siren marking Holocaust Remembrance Day. The world goes quiet apart from a single constant tone. It's a collective trauma.
"I want to argue with my son to get off the computer. I want to pick the raisins out of his granola because that's how he likes it."
These are the words of Hadas Kalderon, mother of two Hamas hostages.
Egyptian reports: The issue has been solved and the hostage deal is moving forward.
Prime Minister's Office: Prime Minister Netanyahu held a situational assessment with all security forces to ensure that the second release of hostages will proceed as planned.
Israelis are feeling some "unit pride" (גאוות יחידה) now that a woman was made commander of an artillery corps battalion for the first time in the country's history! 💪
@IDF
There's no excuse for the ignorance displayed by Whoopi Goldberg. You can't claim innocence when saying Nazis were white people killing more white people. This is antisemitism; it is the shrinking down of genocide and claiming that there was no targeted hate at a minority.
In the ramming attack in Ra'anana, initial suspicion is that a terrorist ripped a woman out of her car, stabbed her, stole the car and proceeded to carry out the attacks, switching three vehicles in the process. 14 injured so far.
The IDF spokesperson also says that there's significant advancement of the hostage deal. Nevertheless, the exchange was supposed to happen at 4 PM. It is past 10 PM and still, the new round of hostages has yet to even be transferred to the Red Cross.
Today, too, the Red Cross has confirmed that the 11 hostages to be returned to Israel are with the Red Cross within Gaza. The organization has been criticized in recent days for not making the proper moves to enter Gaza and provide treatment to the hostages who need it.
Jewish doctors in Warsaw Ghetto told residents, who were being kept captive there by the Nazis, to socially distance and quarantine, and managed to stop the spread of typhus.
Altogether status update:
‣ Over 900 rockets fired at Israel since Monday
‣ Six confirmed dead due to rocket attacks
‣ IDF carrying out operations in Gaza, where Palestinian Health Ministry reports 35 killed (doesn't mention if Israeli fire or fallen rockets aimed at Israel)
Such a cool story: a tunnel uncovered under a house in Turkey has the first known example of cave art with Aramaic inscriptions from the Neo-Assyrian-period!
Justice has been served.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry has cancelled its scheduled meeting with UNRWA representatives following the pulling of funding from Western countries for UNRWA employees' involvement in the October 7 massacre.
Hamas is claiming that they are not bringing forth the next round of hostages because Israel did not provide enough aid trucks per the hostage agreement.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad has rejected the Egyptian ceasefire offer and has notified that it intends to continue its barrage of rockets on Israel, Palestinian media reports.

Zelensky's advisor Mykhailo Podolyak literally just teased Iran saying "we told you so" after an Iranian defense ministry facility stored and manufactured arms was the target of an alleged drone strike.
Numerous people injured, at least 2 seriously injured, in what appears to be a terror attack that took place at several locations on Dizengoff Street, a central road in Tel Aviv.

Following the massive barrage of rockets from the Gaza Strip into Tel Aviv and central Israel, an unexploded rocket was found in Ashkelon, almost entirely intact.

All over Israel, ceremonies are being held in memory of the fallen soldiers of the IDF. Children often participate in these ceremonies.
We learn from a young age to handle loss because we are surrounded by it.
It has been a few hours, but the reason for the death of the Chinese ambassador to Israel has not yet been revealed. Sources close to the investigation, however, report that it seemed to be caused by heart failure.
I don't know who needs to hear this:

Macaron= a french meringue-based cookie sandwich
Macron= the president of France
CNN is citing an exclusive source saying that the alleged ceasefire agreement will include a halt on Israeli surveillance drones over Gaza for six hours a day.
Here are the main points from the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel's report on sexual violence by Hamas on October 7:
- Victims were raped under threat of injury by weapon (ex. knives, guns)
- Victims were raped in front of families, friends and partners
- Some
A summary of what's happened so far in NYC:
- 5 people shot
- 13 injured, probably more
- Suspect wore a gas mask and a yellow vest, still on the run
- Suspect possibly threw smoke bomb into crowd
I am closely monitoring the hostage situation taking place in Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas.
We pray for the safety of the hostages and rescuers.
