Truth about gaza explained so you can send to your Lib friend:
- Not a genocide
- No purposeful mass starvation (though hamas does steal food)
- IDF has best combatant to civilian kill ratio in history of urban warfare.
- Deaths mostly militant males, bc attacks are targeted
- Gazans: In 2024, 68% of the adults were overweight or obese and In 2025 71% of adults had a BMI over 25.
- Zero apartheid: Arabs have just as many rights/large percentage sit in parliament, go to college, etc
- Palestinian photographer just admitted almost everything you saw was a lie: nypost.com/2026/09/21/world-…

Here’s what the media doesn’t tell you about the caricature of Israel you have in your mind.
In less than two hours, over 7 million Jewish Israelis will mark Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. Some will go to synagogue. Some will go to the beach. Nobody will drive unless they have to. Many will not eat or drink for 25 hours, religious or not.
Then you have over 2 million Arab Israelis who will go on with their lives as usual. Many will not drive in mixed cities out of respect for their Jewish neighbors. Nobody will drive in Jewish neighborhoods. And the hospitals will only be filled with Arab doctors and nurses to let their Jewish colleagues observe the day at home. (The opposite happens on Ramadan.)
Not long ago I went out to run a few last-minute errands before the holiday begins. Every Arab I interacted with – at the dry cleaners, in the supermarket, in the elevator – wished me an easy fast.
Every one.
It happens every holiday. Any holiday. Their holidays and ours.
This is the real Israel. A country filled with Jews and Arabs that get along better than anywhere else on this planet, that nobody shows you because it’s simply not newsworthy.
It’s everyday life.
To all those who observe – have an easy fast.

Imagine for 1 second that you have it wrong and Jews are telling the truth. That the genocide libel is bs. That Hamas are terrorists. That you are being manipulated to desire the removal of Jews from society.
Do you understand if we’re right, that makes you the millions of European and African and Asian friends and neighbors who wiped millions of us off 3 continents just a few decades ago?
What’s more likely - that we, the tiny minority who have been libeled and blamed and persecuted by every society in which we’ve ever lived for centuries, are the bad guys? Or that you, the non-Jewish masses who have hounded and defamed and slaughtered us all over the world over and over and over again, have once again been suckered in by propaganda you unquestioningly latch onto because it gives you a scapegoat to blame for your own problems and sins?
“History repeats itself… except this time! I’m different!” Is essentially what every Jew hater tells themselves. No. You are no different than the Iraqi or Soviet or German or Algerian who turned on their Jewish neighbors the second they got the societal green light. Never in the history of the world has the group persecuting Jews been “on the right side of history.” Not once.
Courage isn’t going with the crowd to hate on us some more. That’s easy. Courage is looking in the mirror, in a history book, at what is happening to Jews in our society, and saying stop this train, I’m getting off.

This New York Times "article" about Israel is such a journalistic atrocity that I actually feel stupid reading it out loud.
If everyone at the NYT who is responsible for this is not fired, then the publication will lose whatever shred of credibility it has left.

Dear antisemites,
I know you like to boycott Israeli products so I thought I’d help you out. You’re welcome.
So here are the things you need to stop using immediately.
WhatsApp: The founder just donated $200 million to a hospital in the “Occupied Jerusalem”. Stop using WhatsApp immediately.
iPhone/Apple: The iPhone chip is designed in Herzliya and Face ID was invented by an Israeli. Stop using your iPhone immediately. Apple also has a large presence in Israel so no mac either.
Google/Android: Google has a massive presence in the “Zionist entity”. One of Google’s largest engineering hubs outside the U.S. Stop using all Google products immediately.
Microsoft: Massive Israel R&D presence since the 1990s. Thousands of employees across Herzliya, Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Nazareth. Major AI, cybersecurity, and cloud work. No Microsoft for you!
Intel: If your computer is running an Intel processor, that’s built in Jerusalem. Probably the single largest private tech employer in Israel. Massive chip fabs and R&D centers in Haifa, Petah Tikva, Jerusalem, and Kiryat Gat. Stop using Intel immediately.
Nvidia: If you’re using AI of any kind, good chance it is built on Nvidia. Nvidia just tripled their presence in Israel and the CEO is a massive Zionist. No more AI.
Meta: Meta has offices throughout Israel so no Facebook or Instagram for you. Stop using them immediately.
USB: That’s right, USB was invented by an Israeli company called MSystems so no USB products please.
Amazon: Amazon and its web services have a strong presence in Israel and the drone department was started by an Israeli. No Amazon for you.
Pillcam: If someone you love is sick and the doctor suggests an examination using the pillcam, reject immediately. That’s Israeli technology.
Drip irrigation: If your gardener suggests you water your garden with drip irrigation, say no and fire him. He’s clearly a Zionist trying to sell you an Israeli technology.
Waze: We already established that you can’t use Google Maps. You can’t use Waze either. It’s an Israeli company acquired by Google. Maybe buy yourself a map for the car.
Instant messaging or voice over IP: Please refrain from using any instant messaging or voice over IP. Both invented by an Israeli. I’d suggest a pigeon.
Autonomous car: If your car drives itself, good chance it’s powered by mobileye in Jerusalem. Sell it immediately.
Cherry tomatoes: Stop eating cherry tomatoes. They’re an Israeli invention.
A website: If you have a website, it’s likely powered by Wix, an Israeli company. Shut it down immediately.
If you managed to find a phone that doesn’t run iOS or Android, you better not take a picture with it. The dual-lens camera technology for smartphones was pioneered by Corephotonics, an Israeli startup based in Tel Aviv, which was later acquired by Samsung. No photos for you!
Firewall: Check Point Software developed the first commercial firewall. If your work has a firewall, quit immediately.
Rummikub: I’m sure you love playing. We all do. Sorry to tell you this but it was invented by Ephraim Hertzano. Throw out your Rummikub immediately.
Here are some honorable mentions for you. These things were invented by a Jew and as an antisemite, you need to stop using them immediately!
Ballpoint Pen (Biro): Invented by Hungarian-Jewish László Bíró in the 1930s (patented 1938). Throw out your ballpoint pens.
Shopping Cart: Invented by American-Jewish Sylvan Goldman in 1937. Stop using them when you shop.
The Defibrillator (modern portable version improvements) — advanced significantly by Paul Zoll and other Jewish researcher.
You’re welcome.
Just trying to make you the best antisemite you can be.
You can start by throwing away the device you are looking at right now. It’s probably built in Israel.
We wouldn’t want to support those filthy Zionists, now would we?
Good luck cleansing yourself of Zionist products or products created by those Jewish supremacists.
Good luck to you! 🤣🇮🇱💪✡️🙏

BREAKING: A Vero Beach, Florida High School just banned “Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation” from their library. The Indian River county school claims the reason is that this picture (below) was inappropriate, and that in one portion of the story Anne Frank asked a female friend to show her breasts to another friend — although her friend never does.
Don’t tell me that this is all about “protecting our children.” High school kids see nude statues at museums and in history books all the time, but if these Republicans can find any way possible remove history of the holocaust from a library, they will.
MAGA Republicans are the book burning, bigoted, free speech violators of the 21st century. Future history books will tell their story as well, and it won’t be in a very kind light.

You guys. I explicitly said to NOT send fake racism tips to [email protected] and in response you all send this, pictured below.🤔
So I repeat—do not use the below as a guide on how to send fake racism tips directly to the VA GOP Governor’s Office. Thank you.

I launched Common Purpose to help fund and elect compassionate & justice minded progressive candidates so we can stop this GOP nonsense. If you’re in a position to support us, every dollar counts.

Kudos to this Chattanooga mom telling a Tennessee school board that her daughter is now opting out of ALL school dress code restrictions. 😍😍😍
On Sunday, MN police murdered Daunte Wright — just miles from the site of the #ChauvinTrial.
Enough is enough. I'm joining @ColorOfChange to demand the officers are fired immediately. Add your name now. #DaunteWright #BLM act.colorofchange.org/sign/e…

Hanukkah is one of our favorite holidays -- and a reminder to spread the light at a time when we've never needed it more.
From our big, modern family to yours, happy Hanukkah!
