I'm sure people will argue against the 80-90% civilian casualties in modern war statistic (take that up with the @UN @CivCenter & others that have been using it for the last 5 or more years) "In cities...civilians account for 90 percent of the casualties during war" as well as try to use out of context statistics when in fact Israel's ratio is lower than any in modern history. Yes even the 2016-2017 Battle of Mosul 1:2 against a much smaller enemy force.

War is terribly tragic, but #Israel has implemented more precautions to prevent civilian harm than any military in history. Allegations of genocide are utterly misplaced. (@SpencerGuard)

What a day to be an @AIPAC member or supporter. Talk about return on investment! Many in Israel owe you guys a lot for facilitating US-Israeli missile defense cooperation over the years. Arrow, Iron Dome and much more.

Asked about protests calling for ceasefire in Gaza, @SpeakerPelosi tells @DanaBashCNN: calling for ceasefire is “Putin's message". Some may be organic, “some are connected to Russia… financing should be investigated. I want to ask the FBI to investigate that”.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝟑𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭. Today Dr. Tal Becker and Israel’s legal team presented its case to the @CIJ_ICJ. With them stood the souls of the more than 1,000 Israelis who were murdered by Hamas on October 7th and are unable to testify. Watch Dr. Becker’s opening remarks:

UN officials say, “Yes, 1200 people were massacred by Hamas, but now thousands of Palestinians are killed.” And you know, that argument was made before—in the Nuremberg trials, by the head of the Einsatzgruppen, the Nazi death squads that moved around Eastern Europe and killed a million Jews and a million others. When they were brought to justice at Nuremberg, they said, “Yes, we may have done these killings but you, the allies, you killed civilians when you bombed Dresden and other cities.” And that was wholly rejected by the Nuremberg court. The notion that this Nazi defendant was trying to make—that the deliberate and purposeful killing of civilians was equal to the taking of civilian lives that is undesired, unintended and unavoidable—was absolutely rejected. Those are completely two different things. And that is the essence of civilization: to distinguish between those two. And sadly, at the United Nations, we are seeing this scandalous Dresden defense being brought up again and again, to equate the purposeful, deliberate killing of civilians, which is a crime, with the taking of civilian lives that is undesired, unintended, but unavoidable. That should be rejected completely. (Credit to @Martin_Kramer, “The Nazi case for Hamas” martinkramer.org/2023/10/26/naz…)

Those on the right who believe in the politics of purity tell the Jews that we are insufficiently white. Those on the left who believe in the politics of victimhood tell us we are too white. Mirror images. In both cases we are framed as enemies of the people.

Was just evacuated from the #DNC after pro-terrorist, anti-#Israel protestors grew violent, pepper spraying police officers and attempting to break into the building. Thankful to the police officers who stopped them and for helping me and my colleagues get out safely. (1/2)

Emotional reaction to pulling down posters of kidnap victims

If land acknowledgment means we honor who originally owned the land, why does this work with American Indians and not the Jews?

BDS claims to be “nonviolent.” If you are calling for the destruction of the Jewish nation-state, you cease to be nonviolent. Indeed, the outcome you seek is not only violent but also genocidal. The non-violence of a movement must be judged not only by its means but also by its ends. The destruction of Israel is a violent end.

Today, we are flying flags in 10 empty seats in MetLife Stadium to honor the Americans currently being held hostage. These hostages were just 10 of the 200 kidnapped during the terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7.

An extremely important speech from a great man. A must watch.

One of the best and most powerful speeches I have ever heard. Whatever side you are on right now, this message will help us all.

500 people were killed when Hamas lied and said Israel did it. 10-50 people were killed when it turns out Islamic Jihad did it. Never trust Hamas or the so-called "Gaza Health Ministry".

Media and others took Hamas, a terrorist group that brutally murdered hundreds of innocent Israelis - including babies - at its word today without proper verification. They should remove their posts and update their headlines re: the awful loss of life at a Gaza hospital.

Media outlets around the globe were quick to run Hamas’ headlines—without fact checking. We now know that an Islamic Jihad rocket aimed at Israel misfired and hit the hospital in Gaza.

Hamas is a pimp. They could have never outfought Israel. It was Iran all along.

Some advice for students: If an organization of which you are a member puts out a public statement you disagree with, you have a few choices. You can: Stay silent and have the entire world conclude that you stand by the statement. Convince the other members of the group to withdraw or otherwise modify the statement so that it can reflect the views of all members. Or you can resign in protest. Claiming that you had no involvement or knowledge of the statement, but remaining a member of the organization without it withdrawing the statement is perhaps the worst of the alternatives, as it appears to simply be an attempt to avoid accountability while continuing to be a member of the organization. If you were managing a business, would you hire someone who blamed the despicable violent acts of a terrorist group on the victims? I don’t think so. Would you hire someone who was a member of a school club who issued a statement blaming lynchings by the KKK on their victims? I don’t think so. Would you want them to be an associate at your law firm? Of course not. It is not harassment to seek to understand the character of the candidates that you are considering for employment. In fact, as CEO, it is your obligation to do so on behalf of all of the other employees in your company, the clients and customers it serves, and all of your other stakeholders. I have heard that the above inquiry has made some members of the groups which put out the statement feel ‘unsafe,’ a word that is sadly overused in universities today. Ask yourself how unsafe it would feel in Israel beginning Saturday early morning and how unsafe it feels now? Ask yourself how unsafe your Jewish classmates feel when 32 clubs published a statement assigning sole responsibility for the heinous, deathly acts of terrorists to Israel and the Jews? Experience is making mistakes and learning from them. If you have made a mistake, acknowledge it, and immediately correct your mistaken actions. Public statements made by organizations of which you are a member can have a material negative impact on your reputation. I have learned from experience that the best time to fix a mistake is now.

It should be stressed that Al-Jazeera acts as the media arm of Hamas to the Arab world. This has been the case for many years.

We've checked this out. As a rule of thumb, if it's published by @AlJazeeraWorld and serves the propaganda of Hamas, it most likely isn't true. No exception here.

The Israeli government now confirms that babies and toddlers were found decapitated in a small Israeli community near the Gaza strip. @Hadas_Gold reports on the incomprehensible brutality of this attack.
