I sometimes wonder how so many people believe that Israelis are brutal, murderous monsters, when any trip to Israel or the Palestinian Territories PROVES otherwise. Watch this and understand that the most horrific absurd lies are told over and over thru Arab media. Examples...
~Shimon Peres killed Egyptians with his bare hands, filled his ‘iron helmet’ with their blood, and saved it as a souvenir?
~David Ben Gurion gave the order to assassinate JFK?
~Ariel Sharon wore a necklace made of the limbs of Palestinian children?
Crazy! Wacko! But there’s more
Combine these wacko antisemitic conspiracy theories with a culture of deep misogyny and you get...
...the repeated claim that Tzipi Livni had sex with Arab leaders, taped it, used it to further Israeli policy, then confessed it all in a memoir.

But wait, yes, there’s even more!
A subset of the wacko antisemitic conspiracy genre is the theory that Israelis control nature and use animals as their secret agents. For example, Mossad trains ‘attack sharks,’ spy eagles, supernatural rats that attack only Arabs, as well as dolphins, vultures, lizards, etc...
Do people truly believe these hate-filled delusional lies, or are they more like racist tall-tales that people enjoy, but don’t really believe? And how much of this stuff can you hear, year after year, your whole life, without believing in it?

Antisemites corrupt everyone. Salma Hamamy, pres of the main pro-Palestinian group at @UMich posted on social-media “Until my last breath I will utter death to every single individual who supports the Zionist state. Death and worse.” So how is such a student treated?🧵1/4
She's among @UMich most honored students.

~Recipient of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Spirit Award for students “who best exemplify the leadership and extraordinary vision" of MLK. No joke.

~ @umichdaily_ endorsed her for student council president.
michigandaily.com/news/student-g…
~ State, national and intl media quoted her warning @JoeBiden to change course, citing her as an example of the kind of progressives Democrats must placate.

~ The @nytimes profiled her and a pro-Israel activist in a story, presenting both as "searching for common humanity." Image

🧵in depth analysis of Gaza tunnels by chair of urban war studies at West Point. Summary:

• Hamas does not have military sites separate from civilian sites
• scope of tunnels far greater than was known
• Hamas strategy is political not military

mwi.westpoint.edu/gazas-undergro…
Hamas has built a tunnel network to gain not just a military advantage, but a political advantage. Hamas weaved its vast tunnel networks into the society on the surface. Destroying the tunnels is virtually impossible without adversely impacting the population living in Gaza.
Hamas does not have military sites separate from civilian sites. Hamas’ strategy is not to hold terrain or defeat an attacking force. Its strategy is about time. It is about creating time for international pressure on Israel to stop its military operation to mount.

Israel journalist @Roi_Yanovsky just published an amazing piece in Hebrew about what Gaza is REALLY like, based on his personal observations there. Here is an English translation that you NEED to read🧵

100 reserve days officially ended yesterday. Some initial insights:
1. Gaza is seen as a backward area, the "most densely populated in the world" which has been under Israeli "siege" for years. There is no bigger lie than this. Gaza is a modern, beautiful, developed city, with large modern houses, wide boulevards, public spaces, a promenade
by the sea and parks. Looks much better than any other Arab city from the Jordan to the sea, much more similar to Tel Aviv than to Kfar Qasim or Umm Al Fahem. And of course it is very far from being "the densest in the world".

I found an email dated 2/2/22, that I sent to my daughter when she was visiting a concentration camp site in Poland. Sadly, after the 10/7 Massacre, every word rings true. 🧵
"The world we live in has barely changed. There are still MILLIONS of people in the world who want to kill us. Given the opportunity they’d kill you, your friends, your brothers and sister, me, mommy. Today. Right now. The only thing that stops them is the will of Gd and the IDF.
Most people don’t understand this. They think Nazis are a thing of the past. They’re wrong. While most people aren’t Nazis, there have always been Nazis. There are Nazis today. It only takes the silence of others to allow these Nazis to reveal themselves and spread their evil.

Today is the 5th/6th of the Hebrew month of Av. #OTD 82 years ago, the Jews of my family’s ancestral shtetl of Vileyka were liquidated by the Nazis - the entire Jewish population was murdered. Here is their story:
Multiple branches of my family came from 3 neighboring shtetls in what is now Belarus. The most prominent was Vileyka. We trace our family there back to 1766. Thanks to persecution and pogroms by the Russians, my immediate ancestors all fled to America 1890-1917. But not all.
Many of their siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc stayed. The family names are prominent in the oral histories and testimonies of the Vileyka survivors of the Holocaust. Vileyka was our town and here’s what happened to it during the War:

The return of Jewish sovereignty to Jerusalem is one of the most unlikely events in the history of the human experience. But it happened 56 yrs ago this week. It’s hard to explain just how momentous an event this is - but I’m going to try. 🧵 Image
In June 1967 Jewish sovereignty was returned to Jerusalem for the first time since the 2nd Jewish Commonwealth was conquered by Rome in 70 CE. During 2,000 yrs of exile Jews wrote countless psalms, poems, and songs about Jerusalem, from King David to Judah Halevi to Matisyahu.
We dreamed of and prayed for the return to Zion and Jerusalem literally every single day for 2 millennia. On our holydays we don’t just say, we SHOUT the words that express our hope for the ages: Next Year in Jerusalem!
