Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S., @yechielleiter, recounts a meeting with 21 New York Times editors.
They accused Israel of genocide and deliberately starving Palestinians.
Leiter countered with facts and evidence about humanitarian aid, civilian casualties, and the measures Israel took to protect civilians.
They responded with feelings. One editor protested: “Everybody can’t be wrong.”
Leiter’s reply? “Not everybody thinks that we’re committing genocide.”
And to the extent that people do think so, Leiter told the editor, it was the Times that was responsible.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Iran would love a deal. The problem is, the conditions they continue to place are absurd. They're not even serious. But that could change. Eventually, you have to eat.

🇮🇱 Israel’s Rafael unveils SUPER ICE, a powerful new long-range cruise missile designed to strike strategic targets.
The missile carries a 450 kg (1,000 lb) warhead, four times larger than that of its predecessor, ICE BREAKER.
According to Rafael, SUPER ICE can be launched from fighter jets, naval vessels and ground-based launchers, and is capable of accurately striking targets even when satellite navigation signals are jammed.
Designed to fly at low altitudes and evade air defenses, the missile is currently under development.
Developed and manufactured in Israel, SUPER ICE marks another major step forward in Israeli defense.

For centuries in exile, Ethiopian Jews gathered on mountaintops every Sigd to feel closer to God, praying toward Jerusalem and longing to return to their ancestral homeland. 🇮🇱
Since returning to the Land of Israel, they have gathered in Jerusalem itself to mark this sacred holiday of prayer, fasting, and celebration.
The very place generations before them dreamed of reaching. ❤️

Why is Abubaker Abed still in Ireland @OCallaghanJim ?

Long live imported jihadism in Europe!! Congratulations to Ireland and elements of the Irish "pro-Palestine" industrial complex for embracing Hamas apologists who preach anti-Western, anti-liberal, anti-Indian, anti-tolerance, and sectarian politics while packaging it as "solidarity." These "activists" like this despicable figure demand that elected officials in the U.S. and Europe devote themselves entirely to Gaza, yet spare Hamas any accountability for the misery it has inflicted on Palestinians. When winter floods devastate displaced Gazan families, the blame must fall on Israel, America, Arab/Muslim states, NGOs, and virtually anyone else, but never the Islamist fascist regime that governs Gaza.
Meanwhile, moderate Palestinians in Gaza who reject terrorism, oppose Hamas, and seek normal lives routinely face greater obstacles to obtain immigration visas to Europe than the radicals who dominate the conversation. I've been involved in helping anti-Hamas Gazans obtain Visas in Europe; they face awful obstacles VS. actual Hamasniks.
A word of advice to Western politicians hoping to build careers around "pro-Palestine" Gaza activism: don't. The same ideological ecosystem that elevates you today will denounce you tomorrow if you deviate even slightly from its orthodoxy. Once you become a vehicle for a foreign cause rather than the local/domestic constituents you were elected to represent, there is no room for nuance, moderation, or independent judgment.
Reject extremism, reject political romanticization of militancy, and stop giving a platform to those who excuse or glorify Palestinian terrorism in the name of anti-Zionism and "pro-Palestine" activism.
P.S. Read the individual's own words before rushing to defend them.

This chart explains the Israeli election well. The chart divides the Israeli public into ten deciles by wealth and presents the parliamentary math that would ensue if only that decile voted.
The middle class (deciles 4–7) is overwhelmingly Zionist and center to center-right. If only the richest decile voted, centrists would get 75 of the seats, with 25 for the left and 20 for the right. If only the poorest decile voted, the ultra-Orthodox would form a government, with an entirely Arab opposition.

Hoy me senté al lado de mi hijo en la sala de espera.
Y vi su bota.
En el tobillo tiene un bolsillito chiquito, casi invisible. De ahí asoma apenas una puntita negra.
Le pregunté qué era.
Me miró y me dijo bajito, como si fuera lo más normal del mundo:
"Mamá, es mi placa. Por si solo encuentran una pierna."
Me quedé sin aire.
Porque en el pecho llevan dos placas colgando. Todos lo saben. Una se queda con ellos. La otra es para avisarle a la mamá.
Pero esta... esta nadie la ve. Esta está escondida. Cosida a la bota, pegada a la piel, donde nadie mira.
Es por si la explosión los parte. Por si no hay cuerpo entero para abrazar. Por si solo queda eso.
Para que esa pierna no sea "un resto". Para que sea mi hijo. Para que tenga nombre. Para que tenga familia. Para que tenga una tumba con su nombre y una vela y una mamá que vaya a llorar ahí.
Ellos salen a cuidarnos sabiendo que pueden no volver enteros. Y aún así se cosen el nombre en la bota, para prometernos a nosotros y prometerse a ellos mismos:
"Si no vuelvo entero, igual vuelvo. Búsquenme. No me dejen tirado. Llévenme a casa."
No hay amor más grande que ese.
Mi chico de 20 años que antes de salir a pelear, se asegura de que su mamá pueda enterrarlo.
Hoy vi la bota de mi hijo soldado.
Y entendí lo que es Israel.
Nadie queda atrás. Nadie queda sin nombre. Nadie queda solo.
Ni siquiera una pierna

SORRY TO THE CHILDREN OF SUDAN, IN THE NAME OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
We are sorry.
We are sorry that the world's obsession with Israel has absorbed so much attention that it has relegated your suffering to the background.
While the world is marching against Israel, your country is being torn apart.
It is estimated that 66,979 people have been killed in the last 12 months, although this figure has not been verified.
According to the United Nations, 15.4 MILLION people urgently need shelter, while humanitarian aid is running out.
Millions of people have been displaced. Children are dying of hunger. Families are being destroyed. An entire generation is growing up surrounded by war, hunger, and death.
And who is fueling this catastrophe?
🇹🇷 🇮🇷 🇷🇺 🇪🇬 Turkey, Iran, Russia and Egypt — Join the support of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).
While university campuses are invaded by protests for Gaza, Sudanese children are facing unimaginable suffering.
And where are the marches? The boycotts? The flotillas? The emergency sessions of the United Nations? The celebrities? The student camps?
Where is the outrage?
We are sorry that the world's obsession with the Jewish state has left so little room for one of the greatest humanitarian catastrophes of our time.
Your lives count. Your suffering counts. Your future counts.
But it seems that the world's attention is in a state of suspended action.
NO JEWS. NO NEWS.

BREAKING:
The French writer Michel Houellebecq has been placed under formal investigation by an investigating judge.
He is suspected of “complicity in incitement to discrimination, hatred, or violence” based on remarks about The Great Replacement and Muslims in a November 2022 interview with the philosopher Michel Onfray forthe magazine Front Populaire.
In the interview, Houellebecq (author of Submission and other novels) described Muslims as a threat to the security of “Français de souche” (native French people of French origin).
He said the wish of that population was not for Muslims to assimilate, but for them to stop robbing and attacking French people, or to leave the country.
He also spoke of possible future “Bataclan in reverse” attacks targeting Muslims (referring to the 2015 Islamist attacks in Paris) and stated that the “great replacement” (the theory associated with Renaud Camus about demographic change in Europe) was not a theory but a statistical fact.
The case stems from criminal complaints filed in January 2023 by the Union of Mosques of France (UMF).
Houellebecq’s lawyers have rejected the charges, arguing the remarks contain no direct or indirect call to action and are protected by freedom of opinion and expression.

For 47 years, Iran has killed innocent people, protesters, Americans, and has waged war on the West through jihadist terrorism.
President Trump had the courage that no other president had — to take on the Iranian threat with full force.
He didn't kick the can. He kicked their teeth in.

Marco Rubio explained what is common among almost all the conflicts in the Middle East:
"If you go through the Middle East, talk about all the instability in the Middle East. Houthis, the militias in Iraq, Hezbollah, Hamas, the civil war in Syria.
What do these things all have in common? Behind every single one of these destabilizing activities in the Middle East, there's one common denominator: the Iranian regime."
Andrei Schwartz retweeted
FOX NEWS: One of the things that Secretary Rubio said is that there's a common denominator here when you have one bad actor, Iran, causing most of the problems.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Behind every single one of these destabilizing activities in the Middle East there's one common denominator — the Iranian regime. They are behind all the instability in the region. They are the source of instability in the region. I think the countries of the region realize that as well.

Getting tired of the replies to any tweet about the Muslim Brotherhood as being “Israel First.” No, you intellectual raisin, I used to do litigation against MB groups on behalf of American victims of terrorism. Do you not realize what the Brotherhood is? It’s all so asinine and pathetic.

🇵🇱 Kraków police officer reloads with left hand and neutralizes the mass shooter despite severe chest gunshot wound.
A new high-quality video shows the moment the 24-year-old Kraków shooter Michał O. opened fire on the Polish police officers Jakub Kulik and Artur Morański.
The officers had only their pistols against the terrorist’s semi-automatic rifle. The attacker immediately opened fire on them.
Both officers were struck by bullets but also managed to hit the attacker in an exchange of fire.
Despite critical wounds, one of the policemen managed to get back up to his feet, reload his pistol with his uninjured left hand and finish the attacker off.
Right after that, the wounded officer collapsed next to the shooter and lost consciousness.
Only six minutes passed from the first shots on Market Square were fired the final shoot-out involving the officer
Because the patrol officers moved in without hesitation and stopped the attacker, the attacker didn't manage to take up a position at the intersection where he crashed his car and continue shooting at the crowds.
