After 6 months of war in Gaza, a Muslim country with the largest Palestinian diaspora anywhere used its Air Force to defend the Jewish State of Israel ישראל 🇮🇱 against an attack from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
It’s a new Middle East.
Anti-Jewish protests in the West don’t translate.
My grandfather’s first job after fighting in Israel ישראל 🇮🇱’s War of Independence was working as the reception manager at the King David Hotel. 75 years later I finally got to close the circle and stay here as a guest.
With the world upside down again as it was in 1949 when he worked…
The comparison to 'friendly fire' accidents from other countries is instructive but none more so than Israel ישראל 🇮🇱's.
Roughly 20% of Israel Defense Forces casualties suffered since October 7 have been from friendly fire, including 3 hostages.
Yes, it's tragic. Deliberate it's not. Hamas is to blame.
No civilians were killed after 2 weeks of urban warfare at Shifa hospital.
Those who continue to believe Hamas casualty numbers instead of military experts like John Spencer are purposely choosing to believe a group of mass murdering rapists.
It’s not ignorance. It’s a choice.
This is the former deputy head of Israel's National Security Council talking about the operation at Shifa. Looks like Israel Defense Forces knew the whole time that Hamas was reconstituting itself there. They were lulling them into a ruse, letting them regroup before going in and taking them out.
I haven’t yet read the Economist article linked to its controversial cover, but I do recommend taking the time to read Yoni Leviatan’s tweet 💪🇮🇱
All over Israel this weekend kids will be dressing up for Purim.
This is Kfir and Ariel Bibas on Purim last year.
They will not be dressing up this year.
