The recognition of a Palestinian state means that Palestinians are no longer recognized as refugees nor do they have a “right” to return to any areas within Israel proper.
Whatever happened in Rafah will be investigated. Assuming the IDF had a clear and direct target, and a secondary cause ignited the fire (like weapons storage). Collateral sucks but it’s not a war crime, and people’s opinions on that matter don’t magically make it one…
I don’t care anymore about the Palestinian Cause or their statehood. I have no opinion on political solutions / borders. The Cause is like a black cloud that has brought immense pain and death to both Jews and Arabs. My interests are solely Israel’s survival and flourishment.
Having “the talk” with your kids for most people: the birds and the bees
Having “the talk” with your kids for Jews: every few decades the world creates crazy conspiracies about us and tries to murder us en masse, but we always survive. So no worries. Okay great, sweet dreams…
CAIR is effectively lobbying against the adoption of IHRA definition at the state level.
CAIR, who represents majority of American Muslims… whom Jews have marched with & stood with against Islamaphobia.
I have no words for the pain & anger of this betrayal by fellow Muslims.
Both Orthodoxy and Reform need to take a long, hard look at themselves.
Why have Jews turned away from Orthodoxy?
Why have Reform Jews become anti-Zionist?
And is it time to end the categories for unity?
Why not a spectrum of more observant vs less observant Jews…

Alright I’m just going to block these far far right Israelis creeping into my feed.
I can tolerate most of the far right. But I don’t have the skin for far far right.
I also advocate so much for Israel. To be told I’m not a real Jew or should have no opinion is infuriating.
For the love of ***, can Israel PLEASE bring back

While enjoying my day off of Twitter, on other social media feeds - I saw Avi Hyman get slaughtered on Piers Morgan and Naftali Bennett in a reel to explain the current situation using a literal white board 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I don’t buy this narrative that Israel loses if the end result is Two States. That’s how Israel has existed since its inception.
I think The Palestinian Cause loses if the end result is Two States. After all, they want ALL OF IT, and Israel gone.
Israel existing is winning.
You are falsely accusing Netanyahu and Gallant based on statements they made in the heat of the moment after their country was brutally PILLAGED and hundreds of innocent civilians taken hostage.
Words are different than actions and they reduced but never withheld aid or water.
I welcome the ICC prosecutor’s request for arrest warrants for Hamas leaders, Sinwar, Deif and Haniyeh, and for Israel’s PM Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant. Hamas leaders should be held accountable for the war crimes and crimes against humanity they undoubtedly committed
There is a spiritual deepness lacking in some of the reform movement. I think this is evidenced by the growing number of Jews who prefer Chabad - an Orthodox community - it is spiritually rich and has relatable yet powerful ways of making us understand WHY we do things in Judaism
Leading Reform Rabbi: What Did We Do Wrong?
Manhattan Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch says the Reform movement must explore why it has produced so many anti-Zionist Jews.
The solution: Instilling in our youth Ahavat Yisrael—love and concern for fellow Jews.
American Jews have a proud history in both America (modern history) and Israel (ancient history). We have room in our hearts for both, and will not back down!
God bless America 🇺🇸💙❤️

Curious since Harvard may open a Palestinian Studies Center…
What major cultural figures do Palestinians have between 1200s and 1800s in the land between the River and the Sea?
In Jewish culture, we have many fascinating figures that are meticulously documented…..
Is saying “Islamist” racist or Islamaphobic? I don’t know what else is used to call people who practice Islam to an extreme and adhere to suicide/murderous ideologies. Open to suggestions…
I have seen other Muslims use Islamist so figured that was safer.

@academic_la
At least in America, we have never had the Palestinian cause at our back door. I think the level of hate is beyond our comprehension. We are angry, frustrated, anxious, scared, annoyed etc. We see little way out than strength at this point because nothing else has worked.
Columbia/Barnard Rabbi tells his Jewish students to go home -university can’t keep them safe. I can’t believe this is happening.

There are so many great new Jewish accounts on X, I could cry.
If you have been here for a few years or more… you know that Jwitter was once small and we all had low follower accounts.

They post satellite images of aid trucks. I believe it was last week there were over 700 aid trucks IN Gaza waiting for UN distribution.
Are you asking why the UN isn’t helping to distribute the aid?
I feel like it’s finally safe to come out and say that I have felt oppressed by my Ashkenormative relatives every time they serve gefilte fish at Pesach Seder and force me to put some on my plate. This is full on oppression and I will not stand it anymore.

It is astonishing how, despite the ever-changing manifestations of antisemitism, Jews have persisted for over 3500 years, steadfast in their traditions, beliefs, and timeless yearning for Israel…
After today when we have learned what is just the tip of the iceberg in Rafah (over 50 tunnels; dead hostages with likely more to be found) and the endless, ruthless, heartless gaslighting since 10/7, most Jews have 2 words for the Jew haters. I’ll let you guess what they are 🖕

Israel is going to remain.
The Jewish people are going to remain.
And all of the Pro-Palestine hipsters of 2020 are going to fade, and when we look back on them, they will be known for reviving the largest antisemitic movement since the Nazis.
@ebevelliowan
I agree that’s why in normal civilized societies we do *everything* possible to get our children out of harm’s way. We don’t put them in direct lines of fire and near known military targets.
When Jewish people wake up in the morning we say a very simple but deeply spiritual prayer - Modeh Ani
We believe that every night, your soul ascends to heaven to recharge. In the morning, G‑d chose to return your soul to your body and grant you once again the gift of life.
@academic_la
I get it. It’s unacceptable behavior. But Hareetz literally bashes them every single day, relentlessly. So no, they don’t get to play victim here.
Netanyahu STILL can be remembered as the greatest Israeli PM.
He can:
Dismantle Hamas and bring peace to both Israelis and Palestinians
Bring the hostages home
Normalize with Saudi Arabia and include Israel in the new Middle East.
*But he is failing at all 3!!!
If it weren’t for these 4 accounts I would honestly assume no Palestinians want peace with Israel and Jews, and I would give up caring about the conflict.
They are true lights in the darkness, and after all, a little bit of light dispels a lot of darkness… 🕯️🕯️🕯️
Honoured to be attacked by this anti-Zionist cretin alongside these other 3 Palestinian peace activists.
All 4 of us are promoting peace, human rights, and coexistence.
Neither Palestinians nor Israelis are going anywhere.
Haters and antisemites should cry more.

I support the IDF operation in Rafah (I think it should have been done months ago) but am severely anxious about a rapid rise in hate crimes and violence here in America….. I hope everyone stays safe 🙏 Be hyper- vigilant and alert.
Oh Jesus Christ. It’s not 2020. No, they really aren’t. Stop hijacking black rights in America.
The Palestinian Cauze single handedly destroyed DEI, which directly fucks over black Americans.

You can also go volunteer to help inspect aid trucks at the border. I know several Americans who have done that.

This article was entirely biased and completely ignores the centuries of Ashkenazi Jews who returned to Israel and some who successfully established communities; also the mass influx of Ashkenazi Jews in the 1880s-90s, PRE Herzl….
So what’s the Anti-Zionist Gen Z crowd talking about today? Are they confused? Wallowing in grief that Iran didn’t blow Israel off the map? Siding with Iran? Quieter than usual?

Older generations have warned me about this for years, but alas, too often our children need to just learn for themselves… and now, I have seen it for myself and it turns out, they were right.
How do you separate Judaism and Israel? We have prayed in or towards Jerusalem for 3500 years, 3 times a day. Any remote tribe of Jews that have been found in the world are Zionists - praying daily to return to Israel. There is no separation of the Jew and Israel.
I feel absolutely terrible for the hostages who have died and who remain. It’s truly heartbreaking, and politicians and governments and “humanitarian organizations” are failing them.

This is exactly what Zaka does, but according to US Palestinians, Zaka is a terrorist organization 🙄🙄🙄
Anyway getting Zaka into Gaza probably would not work. I doubt Hamas would approve of it.
But they are truly heroes - they do heavens work - ID’ing loved ones for families.
We don’t share these to disparage Gazans. They deserve a good life and it’s great to see. We share these because everywhere we turn from social media to the streets, people are calling us Jews Genocidal baby killers starving people. And that is a complete blood libel against us.
