Dear
@GovWhitmer
I hosted you for Thanksgiving in Israel just a few years ago. I am embarrassed for you and by you & disappointed that I opened my home and my family to you.
I have been in touch with communities impacted by what’s happening in the region. It is abhorrent. My heart is with all those impacted. We need peace in this region.
These are challenging times. But I respectfully ask you to amend your question. I will not hide, I will not teach my kids to hide. I will fight & I will teach my kids to fight b/c there is no other option. Instead I ask my friends & neighbors - will you fight with me?
I grew up in a Holocaust home. My grandparents are survivors and refugees. My generation used to joke that we knew our friends from our acquaintances based on who would hide us. We’re not joking anymore. We’re really asking
#wouldyouhideme
? If you’re a Jew, share this to ask
I think what everyone is missing here is that if Sisi was the President of Mexico our Southern border would be sealed shut, and the border between Egypt & Gaza would be open. 2 birds 1 stone. Maybe
@POTUS

Try "Hamas surrender & return all hostages" - that ought to deliver more results than what you have been trying so far. Oh, but this isn't really about helping Palestinian people is it
@RaniaKhalek
I so hate that this is necessary. I hate even more that those who need to see this either a) won't understand it is about them or b) side with rape is resistance folks.

Does anyone in the Canadian parliament understand that fighting the Russians during WW2 meant you were a Nazi? Do they remember that Canada & Russia were allies at that point to defeat the very evil they are applauding
There are 2 sides in this war - good & evil. To not choose, or to weakly 'both sides' this issue is a disservice to the American people.

please let the American people know if rape, the murder of unarmed civilians, decapitating babies and kidnapping holocaust survivors and toddlers should be described as - something.. something... something.. - asking on behalf of those who can no longer ask themselves

The US doesn't veto anti-Israel resolutions at the UN

If this is what ironclad allies looks like, someone tell me what an enemy looks like?
The connection between the headlines "Hamas refuses to change their negotiating stance" & "Biden withholds weapon shipments to Israel" is a direct bold dark line.
This Israeli father recounts learning that his 8-year-old daughter was murdered by Hamas.

Your birthday is a reminder of your purpose and mission in the world. July 4th is the birthday of the United States of America. As Americans this is our annual reminder that we have a mission and a purpose. May G-d continue to bless America.

This is as nuts as it is a lie. There is not a single place in all of Israel that you cannot go as a non-Jewish person. The Palestinian Authority has clear signs warning Israelis (Jews) not to enter at risk of their own lives. What is truly scary here is

To the Israel must show restraint crowd.
Iron dome created a sense that there is an acceptable amount of incoming fire that Israel should take. That was a stupid take then, and post Oct 7th it is criminally insane.
Bahrain's leadership has been at the leading edge of morality and responsibility in the Middle East, this isn't surprising, but it is much appreciated.
Bahrain’s Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa publicly and unequivocally condemns Hamas, saying that their October 7th slaughter of Israelis was “barbaric” and calling for the release of the Israeli hostages
Under King Mohammed V leadership, Morocco’s 🇲🇦 Jewish community was saved. Not a single person was sent to concentration camps. “There are no Jewish citizens, there are no Muslims citizens, they are all Moroccans.” God bless Morocco.

I am extremely concerned by the growing conflict in Israel and Palestine. Once again we are seeing how the irresponsible actions of government-allied right-wing extremists in Jerusalem can escalate quickly into devastating war.

my daughter just came up from the bomb shelter and we heard another siren. She told me don't worry dad, that's the police, they're the good guys. My 6 year old knows Police = good, rockets @ civilians bad. Let me know when you have time for her to explain that to you.
There is something you can do in addition to social media - call your member of congress - senators too - and ask them what they are doing to support the Iranian people - especially these brave women. Dont wait - call now
See how we the woman of Iran get beaten up to death by morality police & pass our message to your government in the West.
Sanctioning morality police without taking action against those who order morality police to kill women is futile.

Remember all the chanting on the university campuses for the Houthis - this is what they are chanting for. What a sick sick sick world. There is evil and there is good and the Houthis and the rest of the Iranian proxies are evil.

This is a fraudulent claim and you know it! I hosted surgeons from Gaza @ the US Embassy & worked with them to make sure they would get the best training they could get - you know what happened? They smuggled arms back into Gaza - Hippocratic oath - more like hypocritical oath
No electricity means more than just terrifying darkness and cold.
It means no ventilators, no surgeries. It means not even basic emergency care.
This is, by definition, a war crime.
How would they qualify as 'lone wolves' the hatred and vitriol is clearly baked into some system. I have concern for the independent psychos - but real fear about full military level terror. Israel is the canary in the coal mine
There is a risk that lone wolf sympathizers of
#Hamas
terrorists in
#Gaza
might target Western countries. This danger includes the possibility of exploiting schoolchildren and university students in cities like London and New York. They could use slogans such as 'Free Palestine'
Shaul Greenglick, 26, died fighting in Gaza yesterday. Just two weeks ago he auditioned for “Israel’s Next Star.” Listen to his angelic voice.
May Shaul rest at ease among the angels and may his memory forever be a blessing.

Dan Shapiro, a former ambassador to Israel and currently the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East, says he doesn’t have a view on the Biden administration sending billions of dollars to Iran, who then funds Hamas terrorists as they kill Israelis.

Hamas began its war against Israel 4 weeks ago tomorrow. Some people are confused by misinformation floating out there. This 🧵can help with definitions.
1) Pause = Ceasefire
2) Ceasefire = Hamas winning

Im pleased to see leaders across the spectrum stop saying Israel has a right to defend itself (that is stating the obvious) Israel has an obligation to its citizens to defend them. That obligation is the very foundation of its existence.
Enough is enough. The incendiary balloons from Gaza are acts of terror, full stop. Israel absolutely right to show zero tolerance and attack Hamas targets in response.
