@Martin_Kramer It’s even worse for Bibi than the results make it appear because at least some of the Haredi parties currently in government will jump ship once Likud is trounced. Israel, however, may need a 💯 % secular government to tackle long term Haredi demographic challenges.

@Plamen42431889 @AlinejadMasih You should have corrected this! Not only can women drive in Saudi Arabia now but the hijab is optional. Only Iran and Afghanistan, representing extremist shiism and extremist sunism Force women to Never feel the wind through their hair.

@JanetNewcomb I too have two sons in the IDF. Different skin color, shorter, but equally devoted to Israel and the Jewish people! And by the way, what is that about Israel being an apartheid state?

@baytifirasek Agree fully, especially #1 . Instead of criticizing Israel for defending itself and demanding she coexist with a terror state, why don’t more people demand that Hamas surrender? That would end the civilian deaths in Gaza - Israel is not bombing to harm civilians but to end Hamas.

@D_abdulkader Under and through the Gaza-Egypt border. It’s incredibly porous - dozens of tunnels and hundreds of Egyptian guards just waiting to have their palms greased.

@arash_tehran Polls show Iranians are the most pro-Western people in the region. They don’t see 🇮🇱 as an enemy. The problem is that the 🇮🇷 government thinks otherwise. Until there is regime change in 🇮🇷 and 🇮🇷 gives up its anti-Israel campaign & push for ☢️ weapons, escalation will continue.

@IDF The Winston family is also making a modest contribution to defend the people of Israel: one son in a commando unit and another to be sworn into the IDF the day after tomorrow!

Those who have long argued that an ANKARA-JERUSALEM-BAKU axis is America’s best hope in the Middle East have some explaining to do!

So Ankara-Israel “reconciliation” didn’t really work…Ankara literally became one of those inciting and leading the incitement about the hospital story…similar to Iran media; causing anti-US protests. It almost seemed Iran-Russia-Ankara were in same page…

@AlirezaNader Little coverage in the mainstream press of this. Thanks for letting us know what’s really going on in Iran. Seems that “maximum pressure” is having an impact. The Shah’s days were counted when the oil workers struck! No direct analogy, but interesting. ..

@POLITICOEurope @barbaraslavin1 Ridiculous. The main reason Iranians live in poverty is the corrupt, kleptocrat, imperialist rule of the IRGC and the clerics.

@jerusalemofiron This is a disgrace! As historian myself, I recognize Oren as one of the best. He has always been measured and judicious in his defense of Israel as a diplomat and member of the Knesset. What explanation other than anti-Israel prejudice explains his being banned from Twitter?

@MaryamAvia I am blown away! Would that there were more Muslims who took seriously the verse “And We said thereafter to the Children of Israel, ‘Dwell securely in the Promised Land” (Quran: 17:104)”

@DocFangFang Fine. Just stay in your house and only come into contact with people who know you are unvaccinated. You have a right to do as you like — as long as it does not endanger others.

@ananavarro No problem learning about the worst a aspects of the past. Just don’t wrap it in CRT nonsense that reduces US history to bad whites oppressing good minorities. It’s way more complicated!

@arash_tehran So you are suggesting that in terms of deliberate, premeditated criminal acts, the two men are comparable? I find that as ludicrous as any moral equivalence y.
