All this damage was done by *shrapnel* from a rocket fired by terrorists in Gaza that landed in Israel.

Israel's defenses are good, but they are not impenetrable. That's why it must act to defend itself by taking the fight to the terrorists in Gaza. Image
Remember this when Israel is accused of needlessly starting a war.

Remember that Hamas issued an ultimatum to Israel earlier this week, or it would fire rockets. Hamas fired rockets; Hamas started this war.
Remember that neither the legal dispute in Sheikh Jarrah/ Shimon HaTzadik, nor Israel's response to rioting at the Al Aqsa mosque constitutes a legitimate reason to go to war, much less to commit clear war crimes.

The media must make this clear.

Media reports depicted Palestinian protesters as "reacting" to Israeli security forces who "stormed Al Aqsa" last weekend.

But the story was the other way around.

"Just see how many are dead on each side," some say, "the numbers don't lie."

Since “numbers don’t lie,” here are some statistics Israel's detractors may want to consider:
16 – The number of years since Israel removed every man, woman, child and soldier from the Gaza Strip, only to have the territory consumed by Hamas and transformed into a forward-operating terrorist base.
20 – The number of years that Palestinian terrorists have been firing projectiles at Israel from the Gaza Strip, with each and every intentional attack on civilians constituting a war crime.

Israel has just come under a massive barrage of rockets from Gaza.

Moments ago, MILLIONS of people in all these towns and cities heard the red alert siren and had to scramble for cover.

#IsraelUnderFire
Hamas claims that it fired "130 rockets at Tel Aviv" in the space of 5 minutes.

This is the result:

Things are getting extremely heated between Israel and the Palestinians, both in Jerusalem and Gaza.

Here's what you need to know:

Hamas has been firing dozens of rockets at Israel, including at Jerusalem, over the course of the last hour.
Hamas had earlier issued Israel an ultimatum to withdraw all security forces from the Temple Mount and the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood or rockets would be fired from Gaza at 6pm.
This came after a day of heavy rioting on the Temple Mount, with thousands of Palestinians using boulders, rocks and fireworks as missiles and chanting violent songs.

What is going on, @NBC?! This vile caricature of Hassidic Jews in @nbcnurses completely disregards the truth: Jewish law simply does not prohibit this. Doctors can break the Sabbath to save a person’s life, and food that is not kosher can be eaten in order to survive.
FACT: There is no prohibition in Jewish law on receiving a graft from another person, dead or alive.

#NursesNBC, you could have easily established this.
FACT: Jewish law makes very clear that we should take advantage of modern medicine to save human lives.

#NursesNBC, your Jewish characters are acting in contradiction with Jewish norms.

Why on earth is @SkyNews' @Stone_SkyNews giving this blatantly agenda-driven "investigation" media coverage?

It set out to find Israel guilty - barely mentioning that an Israeli soldier was hurled into the air by the impact, or the that shocked soldiers acted in self-defense.
Forensic Architecture has conducted 69 investigations so far. 17 have involved Israel.

This isn't a lab investigating human rights failings - it's a political lobby under the guise of 'research' available for rent by extremist groups such as Al-Haq, an NGO with ties to the PFLP.
And of course that's before getting to the most basic failing of this so-called "investigation": the car visibly sped up as it approached the soldiers.

That's why the driver was shot. The soldiers understandably were shocked and had every reason to think they were under attack.

This is outrageous, @nbcsnl.

Promoting antisemitic myths isn't remotely funny.

Jewish, Muslim and Christian residents of Israel alike are eligible for vaccination, and over half a million Arab citizens of Israel have received at least one dose.

Shameful.
Jews have long faced false claims of spreading plague and only protecting their own since being blamed for the Black Death in Europe.

The result had grim short-term and long-term effects: Thousands were murdered, and the baseless claim entrenched Judeophobic views for centuries.
Data on antisemitism in Germany shows the long-term effects of hatred: Areas where Jews were often blamed for the Black Death during 1348–50 typically supported more violence against Jews 600 years later in the 1920s, and voted more for the Nazis.
