Let's stop for a moment and analyse this frankly irresponsible reporting from @SheeraF of the @NYTimes.

The Times didn't post any such article about the Arab mobs that attacked Jews in Israeli cities, pelting vehicles and cars with rocks.
Nor did it document the wave of Palestinian attacks on Jews for viral TikTok videos that presaged the current violence.
To post this kind of one-sided nonsense while it is a well-documented fact that both Arab and Jewish extremists formed groups of this type is irresponsible, and is not going to help any kind of effort to calm the streets.
Of course, the majority of deaths and destruction of property were caused by the Arab rioters. Focusing on the Jewish extremists alone constitutes insanely imbalanced reporting, an utter distortion of reality.
At the moment, Jewish and Arab medical staff in various hospitals around the country have been calling for calm and sharing photos on social media holding signs in Hebrew and Arabic reading “Peace”, “Continuing Together”, “All Together” and “Love Thy Neighbour as Thyself”.
Israeli Arabs and Jews - especially women - are standing together to calm the violence in the streets. Together, they have pushed the extremists to leave their neighbourhoods. Muslim and Jewish religious and political leaders have called for an end to the violence on both sides.
Just yesterday, Cellcom, one of Israel's largest phone networks, encouraged its Arab and Jewish workers to take part in a one-hour protest in the name of "co-existence, fraternity, and peace."
Also just yesterday, an Israeli Arab woman received a kidney transplanted from the body of Yigal Yehoshua, the 56-year-old Israeli who died of his wounds after being stoned by an Israeli Arab mob in Lod.
All this, at a time when Jews are being intimidated by spate of attacks in the UK, America, Germany, and elsewhere.

Jewish leaders have warned that “geopolitical events 3,000 miles away” are being used as a pretext for vicious attacks on Jews.
There is so much going on, but by focusing on this one negative element alone, the NYTimes is fanning the flames, and feeding the wave of hatred of Israel and Jews.

Thanks, @NYTimes, for helping perpetuate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and for using our lives as clickbait.

Proud of my people in times of crisis.

Israeli Arabs from a village near Meron have been offering food and drink to all who need, non-stop, for hours.

In Tel Aviv, hundreds of secular Jews have turned up to give blood to their ultra-orthodox brethren.
In Jerusalem, a blood donation station downtown has been turning people away - there's already enough.

In Givat Shmuel, a religious Jew is distributing food for free to families with loved ones who haven't yet made it home, and have been too busy to cook for Shabbat.
A funeral is taking place right now for a Canadian Jew, Shraga Gestetner of Montreal, who has no family in Israel. Hundreds have come to pay their respects.

If only we could harness this togetherness and take it with us always.

Let's clear this up:

1.9m Palestinians are Israeli citizens, have the same rights to Covid vaccines as Jewish Israelis.

5m Palestinians are ruled by the PA and are dependent on the Palestinian health care system. Per the Oslo Accords, Israel is not responsible for their doses.
Is Israel preventing Palestinians ruled by the PA from gaining access to the vaccine?

No. Israel has shared thousands of vaccine doses with the Palestinian Authority, and is looking to vaccinate Palestinians working in Israel.

Is Israel preventing vaccines from reaching Gaza?

No. It briefly considered holding Gaza-bound doses in return for progress regarding the plight of 2 mentally ill Israeli civilians held captive by Hamas, but decided against. Not a single dose sent to Gaza has been turned away.

On this day in 1941, during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, Jews were violently attacked in Baghdad, Iraq.

Shavuot is supposed to be a happy time, with families gathering and eating cheesecakes. But in Iraq in 1941, it was anything but as a massacre befell the Jewish community.
As someone with a Jewish Baghdadi grandfather who fortunately escaped Iraq a few years earlier, I am compelled to tell the story that decimated the community he left behind.
The #Farhud pogrom of June 1-2 left over 180 dead and 1,000 injured Jews, saw hundreds of homes destroyed and property looted.

ON THIS DAY in 1950, the first flight taking Jews from in Iraq to Israel in Operation Ezra and Nehemiah departed from Baghdad.
At precisely 2:00pm on Friday, 19th May, 1950, a Skymaster jet carrying 86 Jewish refugees immigrants, accompanied by an Iraqi police officer, took off for Nicosia in Cyprus. This was the first flight of Operation Ezra and Nehemiah.
The operation was named after the Jewish leaders who took their people back to Jerusalem from exile in Babylonia, beginning in 597 BCE.

Amos Oz, beloved Israeli author, died on Friday. An outspoken "peacenik" who was critical of the Israeli government, he was nonetheless a staunch supporter of his country. As people rush to memorialise him as an unyielding critic, bear in mind that Oz was no absolutist.

(Thread)
In 2015, Oz asked why extreme leftists question Israel’s right to exist: “Nobody presented this question in Germany during the days of Hitler or in Russia under Stalin,” said Oz.
“But the question is being presented more and more often about Israel, and I don’t like it… there is something dark, looming underneath that is based on the assumption that Jews are not like everybody else.”

Dear @Airbnb,

My Jewish grandfather, along with many thousands others, fled from Iraq, losing property there, as a result of the Farhud (murderous pogrom in 1941).

Please delist all stolen Jewish lands in Iraq.

And Syria. And Egypt, Yemen, Lebanon, Libya, Morroco, Jordan, etc.
We can also get into stolen Jewish land in Gaza, Hebron, Jericho, and Jerusalem, too.
People would do well to remember that it wasn't just in Europe that Jews were refugees - over the ages right up the even the last few years(!) Jews were made to flee their homes across the Middle East.
