The paradox of being Israeli is life under extreme uncertainty & reassuring predictability. We don’t know what’s happening on our borders. But, we know exactly when to build our succahs, when to buy matzah, and when rain won’t fall for months to come

To my fellow Israelis, this one is for you XO
It’s strange to live in a long gone past and an uncertain present while we hope for the future. Yet, people in Israel are not afraid. We celebrate life — shopping carts full, guests invited for meals, visiting with family and traveling the country.
Uncertainty isn’t a new feeling for Jews. But uncertainty in one’s own homeland, where Christmas ornaments are succah decorations, where Saturday is Shabbat, and a Jewish army protects and defends its people, means uncertainty isn’t what it used to be.
And, after 2000 yrs of not having a Jewish homeland, it is the absolute best way to live.

To my Jewish brothers and sisters who are ashamed to claim their heritage, who think our rights cannot exist with others, who self-flaggellate for the love of those who hate us, I wish you peace, understanding and to know that we are a proud nation deserving of peace and place
I wish you pride in our history. Our accomplishments. Our sacrifices. I wish you empathy for the suffering of those who died so you might have something to reject. I wish you respect for those who guard what you think we don't deserve. I wish you integrity to investigate yourself
what you think you know, but are woefully ignorant of. I wish you discernment to see truth from lies, fact from manipulation, the whole truth from half the story.
I wish you nuance, perspective and intelligence. Chag Sameach, from Zion.

Palestinian men beat and murder their female relative for posting a video online. People on twitter blame Israel for their actions, maybe also "patriarchy" but they lay no blame on the men able to use their culture and lack of law & order to get away with murder.
A young woman was beaten & murdered by her family for "honor" and Muslim/Palestinian women can't come out and blame the men who did it? It is your JOB to call it out, it is your privilege to live in a place where you can! Your sisters need you & you're too busy being political.
It's disgusting. You're not feminists, you don't care about Palestinians. If you did, you'd speak out no matter who hurt them. The PA & Hamas included. You have influence, at least in the US, and could ask leaders to speak out against violence against women, but you don't.

K, non-Hebrew speakers, there is a word you need to know. We'll be using it a lot. HaMatzav - המצב - it means the situation. And it's what we call this kind-of-war but not-a-war and hopefully-won't-lead-to-a-war because nobody wants a war non-war.
To use in a sentence:

We aren't going north because of the matzav.

Because of the matzav, shelters were opened.

My kids are scared to sleep because of the matzav.

I hope the matzav doesn't get worse.

Depending on the matzav, we'll see you later.
I should have mentioned, you can also say, Ma HaMatzav? when you see someone. In this context just means "What's up?" Having nothing to do with any situation

Taehyung let’s out a small whine at that “I’m sorry hyung, I shouldn’t have gone without you but I didn’t want to bother you. I just,” his voice softens “I thought I could manage it, I just wanted to explore a bit.”

Yoongi sighs, he can never stay angry on Taehyung.
“let’s sit yeah?” Jimin asks, gesturing towards the table.

There are only four chairs, Taehyung let’s Namjoon and Yoongi sit on two while the other two are occupied by Jeongguk and Jimin. Somi smirks before settling on Jeongguk’s lap while Taehyung remains standing.
Yoongi eyes Taehyung who’s the only one that remains standing. He knows he can’t invite him to sit on his lap— because that’ll take it too far, usually only mates do something like that.

He opens his mouth, about to offer his seat to the younger when Jeongguk cuts him off.

Taehyung meets the rest of the pack three days later, when Seokjin has allowed him to leave his bed deeming his wounds healed enough for movement.

“Don’t be nervous.” Seokjin says, coaxing Taehyung into entering the main hall where the rest of the pack is having lunch.
Taehyung nods, slightly shifting on his feet so that he’s behind Seokjin, broad frame and shoulders covering almost all of him.

It’s loud, everyone chattering, voice overlapping other, some grunts, some growls and some quiet clinks of spoons and forks as they eat.
Despite his nervousness and stuttering in introducing himself, they all greet him warmly. It’s not the whole pack but most of them are there— the important ones.

Taehyung’s eyes flit from face to face as he connects them with the name that comes out of their mouth.

Am I allowed to be outraged by this, or does that make me "antisemitic" ?

- Video of a Palestinian child being assaulted by Israeli police this morning.
By @syedakif17

Isreali goons dressed in uniforms violating basic human rights of Palestinians 24/7.

Constitution of Israel is based on Talmud where Goyims have no rights.

If a Zionist kill anyone, he's not to be punished, he's owns gentiles.
