Suggestion: if you don't want your buildings destroyed, don't build your key war-making facilities under them, then make war on your neighbors by committing ghastly atrocities against them.
This endless destruction is why Netanyahu does not allow journalists into Gaza. If he actually believed that Israeli had shown great restraint and that public perceptions were mistaken, we'd all be invited in with cameras. But Bibi doesn't want the devastation documented or the survivors interviewed.

How about Hiroshima? Nagasaki? The list is endless. When you start a war, you risk losing that war and suffering destruction.
Was Dresden a genocide? Was Tokyo? Destruction after losing a war is only confusing to morons…

This is one of the most devastatingly brilliant rebuttals to the lies spread about Israel since the horrors of October 7. Unflinching, masterful, and essential. Read it. Learn it. Share it.
I do. It's actually a really simple answer. Kids can understand it. I'll tell you the story now so you can be ready when you finally have grandkids, Mario Awful. For decades, Israelis tried to work with the Gazans, believing the impossible: that people who have declared that they want nothing more than to have Israel destroyed and Jews killed might be able to be persuaded to be friends by giving them land, money, resources, opportunities, and an infinite amount of patience. During those decades, huge amounts of humanitarian aid was sent to the Gaza Strip, which they used to militarize and to spend many years planning a savage surprise attack against the people helping them. Almost everyone in the world took up their cause, even many Israelis who lived right next door, even though the Gazans were taking advantage of all that help. They were offered everything but wouldn't accept it because all they wanted was Israel to be destroyed and Jews to be driven out or, preferably, dead. They were so fixated on that goal that nothing else mattered, and nothing else was good enough. They even used water pipes to build rockets and dug terror tunnels under their city and deep into Israeli territory to prepare for a surprise war. On an important Jewish holiday and their sabbath, the Gazans sprung their surprise attack. That was October 7, 2023. They launched over a thousand rockets at 6:30 am. The Israelis heard the sirens and knew they only had seconds to hide in their shelters from these attacks. By the way, every Israeli house has a bomb shelter in it because these kinds of attacks are so frequent. Also, every Israeli adult and child, little boys and little girls, knows from as soon as they can walk that when the sirens sound to go to the shelter because it is so important and so common. As the Israelis went, exhausted and sleepy, to their shelters to hide from the rocket attack, the Gazans sent a large armed force across the fence into Israel to do the most heinous things to the Israelis that you can imagine. Over a thousand were murdered. Things so horrible you cannot describe them to children happened everywhere. The Gazans celebrated and filmed themselves and put it on the internet, bragging and boasting about unimaginable horrors and murders. They dragged Israelis, including women, children, and babies and dead bodies, into their terror city and terror tunnels and started abusing and killing them slowly, using them and their corpses as collateral against the Israeli people and military. This lasted for over two years, with the last hostage's remains returned at the end of January 2026 after being taken in October 2023. The scale and nature of this attack is so horrific that it cannot be described politely, but its true evil wasn't just in the barbarity of its forces, which did unspeakable things to completely innocent men, women, and children everywhere they went, including many who openly supported them for years, but in how they took advantage of the trust and help they were given to do it. Gazans had spent years exploiting the goodwill of Israelis in the Gaza Envelope to gather intelligence, working as gardeners, housekeepers, taxi drivers, etc., to gather detailed intelligence of the neighborhoods and homes they would systematically attack starting on October 7. So many Israelis were betrayed at their trust and goodwill toward the Gazans, and by it. While they hid from those rockets in their shelters, Hamas terrorists systematically went through the carefully mapped streets of their neighborhoods, broke into houses, and shot them dead through the doors of their shelters, or crashed in through the walls from the outside using their own farming equipment to do it. Hamas terrorists knew the Israelis would be hiding from the rockets and knew where they'd be hiding, and they murdered them while they hid, deliberately, planned out in advance and for years. These people weren't just Israelis or Jews. They were innocents. In fact, as far as it goes, many of them were the greatest champions for the Gazans in Israel. Didn't matter. They were Israelis. They were Jews. They had to die in the most horrible ways you can think of. They had to be desecrated. They had to be taken hostage. It all had to be celebrated on video streamed live onto the internet to excite their radical friends around the region and the world. The horror is actually incomprehensible. Had this happened to Americans in the United States from one of its neighbors, the response Americans would have demanded cannot actually be comprehended. I stand in awe at how restrained and cautious and decent and good the Israelis have been, and it is to my slight embarrassment knowing that our own people, our own forces, wouldn't have managed a fraction of that decency, however much we would match the unparalleled effectiveness of these operations. That is, Mario Awful, I don't f*cking want to hear it, and neither do your grandkids. Respect them enough not to soil their minds with these lies, which are so evil that Hell itself would be slightly embarrassed to spread them. So, when Israel realized what had happened to them, what was still happening to them, how their trust, support, and patience had been taken advantage of in the nastiest and cruelest way human beings can possibly imagine, for zero good reasons and only unbelievably evil ones, they set out to make sure it would never happen again. They started a war of rescue and to end the military capacities of the Gazans, who were and still are governed by a radical terrorist group that even has in their charter that they want every Israeli driven out and every Jew that can be killed dead. Israel waged a patient war with the highest accuracy rate of any in the entire history of urban warfare, taking great pains and many casualties to spare innocent life, even when that innocent life openly supports the terror regime that governs them and wants them dead. The Gazans, however, had spent decades turning their entire city into a hidden military fortress, hiding weapons, entrances to terror tunnels, command centers, and every conceivable military target within civilian neighborhoods, including even homes, schools, hospitals, and houses of worship. Israel did what it had to do as carefully as it could be done. The devastation you see is the result of the evil of Hamas and the Gazans who support it having spent decades organizing their city to become a vast, sprawling military installation. The Gazans and their terrorist leaders took this organizational approach specifically for two reasons. One was to deter Israel from ever attacking or disabling their military installations at all. Even when the devastation seen here, that remained the case. Israel took great pains to minimize, including casualties, including complicated legal approvals, including warning both civilians and combatants in Gaza of incoming attacks against the installations, trying to save all innocent (and a lot of not-so-innocent) life. Another was to produce this propaganda, which Mario Awful, after having his account built to giant size by @elonmusk himself, spreads and promotes with foolish emotion-driven emojis and devastating lies of omission of these facts. Even as Israel dismantled the entire military capacity of Gaza bit by bit (which is what you see in the video here), they sent aid: more food, medicine, and other supplies than have ever been sent to a population controlled by an enemy military in the history of warfare, period. The terrorist leaders leveraged every bit of it against them, stealing it and starving their own people, creating propaganda campaigns about genocide and forced starvation, and even building more rockets out of raw materials including water pipes, which they then fired at Israel. Bit by bit, Israel dismantled as much of their military apparatus as they could and rescued or recovered all of their hostages, including among them Americans. The result is what you see. The result you see below is the most painstakingly moderate response a decent human being of even the slightest comprehension could possibly imagine, and yet that's what the Israelis have accomplished in Gaza. And they accomplished it while the world hated them for it, scrutinized everything not just for any legitimate breaches of perfection but for a litany of illegitimate accusations of things so voluminous that they could not even be recorded, except that they were in the relentless propaganda of social media, the global enemy propaganda channels, and even the mainstream press, almost all amplified and repeated by even allegedly good, decent conservatives who found these lies a perfect reason either to reveal their underlying but hidden hatred for Jews or to turn to that evil on false pretenses you are promoting, even now, even today. So when you sit down to tell your grandkids how humanity allowed Gaza to happen, tell them the real story. Humanity allowed Gaza to become a terrorist militarized city openly dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the murder and desecration of Jews and Jewish bodies by believing in some asinine humanitarian concept that defies all logic. It happened by creating a global political situation that, for reasons of Communist political correctness and soft-hearted and softer-headed compassion, refused to believe the simple reality of the situation. It happened because this delusion and misplaced trust persisted for decades while Hamas and its supporters turned Gaza into a terrorist military outpost that would simply have to be destroyed sooner or later, and then they pulled that trigger on themselves in the most obvious way possible on October 7, 2023, which stands as one of the darkest days of the last century. Humanity allowed Gaza to happen because it wouldn't take Hamas at its word. Humanity allowed Gaza to happen because it lied to itself for decades about the nature of the Islamic currents that motivate Hamas and "Palestinianism" more broadly. Humanity allowed Gaza to happen because it wouldn't address a problem correctly from the beginning, not least because it was terrified of being called racist and refused, nobly but stupidly, that human beings could be led by ideology and religion to the depths of evil and depravity that had captured the Gazans. Humanity allowed Gaza to happen, that is, because it refused to take Gazans at their word. Israel, starting in late 2023, finally woke up in the worst way possible to the need to STOP LETTING GAZA HAPPEN, the result of which your video depicts and the truth and moral of which you, like a demon, invert.

It is a war! Do not start wars you cannot win! What did Hiroshima look like after an atomic bomb? How about Nagasaki? How about Tokyo after allied firebombing? Every single death and all destruction in Gaza is the fault of Hamas.
Horrifying. Clear evidence of genocide… Oh wait that’s Dresden after US and British bombing in WWII..

$OCUL Baird BUY PT $30 Axpaxli's commercial pitch still appears stronger in our view than Zenkuda's. key commercial pitch for both of these therapies is extending the treatment interval. To that end, in SOL-1, ~75% of Axpaxli patients were rescue-free at 9mo, while only about half of Zenkuda-treated patients achieved a 6mo dosing interval (note, ~70% of patients were rescue free in the SOL-1 study after 3 loading doses of Eylea 2mg). Additionally, <10% of Axpaxli patients were rescued in <3mo vs. ~30% of Zenkuda requiring treatment more frequently than every 3mo.

Oh boy...the crazies will be out in force over this! :-)
Sydney Sweeney is considering converting to Judaism as her relationship with her Jewish boyfriend Scooter Braun grows more serious. The two have been dating for nearly two years despite a roughly 16-year age gap. Speculation about a possible conversion began after Sweeney was spotted attending Rosh Hashanah services at a synagogue, and the couple celebrated the holiday together, according to DeuxMoi.

In addition to being absurd, this is just too much of a PITA to deal with. Far easier to simply not go to the Netherlands.
The Netherlands are banning Israeli from bringing with them teffilin made in the holy city of Hebron, where Jews have lived for millennia. Prayerbooks from Jerusalem. And anyone with any Israeli goods must prove they're NOT from an "illegal settlement." This will impose massive burdens on American Jews a well, an American companies.

Fuck you @netflix. Cowards.👇
Netflix refused to stream the NOVA documentary about the October 7 massacre because it was too political. The documentary reconstructs the massacre using footage captured by the victims and the Hamas terrorists themselves. More than 360 people were murdered at the festival and dozens were taken hostage. Netflix looked at footage documenting exactly what Hamas did that day and decided its viewers should not see it. Calling the massacre of Jews too political to show tells you exactly where Netflix stands.

Here’s the short answer for your grandkids: Gaza happened because the people of Gaza chose to be ruled by evil Islamist terrorists whose mission was to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. And to achieve that mission, the terrorists were perfectly willing to have Gaza demolished and the people of Gaza slaughtered. In fact, that’s what the terrorists wanted. Because the terrorists knew all along that so many ignorant and antisemitic people in the West would enthusiastically cheer them on and become willing stooges/accomplices as they carried out their evil mission. And please tell your grandkids that in spite of all of this, Israel still did all they could to minimize how many civilians in Gaza would be killed. Israel went to greater lengths to limit civilian deaths than any military in the history of urban warfare.
Years from now, my grandkids will ask me how humanity allowed Gaza to happen. I still don’t have an answer for them 💔 nitter.cf/mhmd_s09/status/209257…

The Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, Belgium and Norway are boycotting products made in Judea and Samaria and dozens more countries including UK, France and Canada have plans to. Why not boycott countries committing genocide like China, Sudan, Syria, Myanmar, Congo? No Jews?
There were some people from Netherlands in our church this morning who are flying back tomorrow & have to check their souvenirs to make sure they aren’t from Judea/Samaria-possible 6 yr prison term. A Nativity set from Bethlehem could put you in prison! Insane!

WHEN WILL ENOUGH BE ENOUGH? 🥲 I am angry. I am heartbroken. And honestly, I am exhausted. Adam Brody has now said he thinks Israel is committing “genocide” and that he wants “a free Palestine.” And I keep asking myself: Have you been to Israel? Have you visited the communities destroyed on October 7? Have you sat with survivors? Have you met the families of the hostages? Have you stood at the Nova festival site? Have you actually learned what happened that day? Because today, more than 6,000 scholars, historians, legal experts, military experts and other prominent figures have signed an open letter rejecting the accusation that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Among those named are Niall Ferguson, Benny Morris, Simon Sebag Montefiore, Deborah Lipstadt, Dina Porat, Judea Pearl and John Spencer. That does not mean everyone must agree with them. But it does mean that “genocide” is a deeply disputed legal and factual characterization — not a slogan that should simply be repeated as though there is no serious debate. And here is something else I find deeply uncomfortable. Adam Brody previously spoke about how difficult and sensitive this period was for Jewish people and described Nobody Wants This as a safe and celebratory space for the Jewish community. Now, just before the return of the show, he is publicly using the word “genocide” and calling for “a free Palestine.” I am NOT calling for anyone to boycott his show. I loved his work. I have watched his programmes. That is precisely why this is heartbreaking for me. But am I allowed to ask whether the timing could have something to do with protecting the show from criticism or boycott pressure? Yes, I am. I am asking a question — I am not claiming to know his private intentions. Because celebrities know that words have consequences. And while they make statements from the safety of their platforms, Jewish communities around the world are facing an atmosphere where antisemitism is becoming increasingly frightening. And this is what I cannot stop thinking about: WHAT ABOUT THE JEWISH CHILDREN? 🥲 The young Jewish people growing up seeing antisemitism on their streets. The teenagers wondering whether it is safe to wear a Star of David. The children hearing adults talk about Israel and Jews as though an entire people can be blamed for everything. The families wondering whether their children will be safe simply because they are Jewish. This is not a political game to them. This is their life. So before another celebrity repeats the word “genocide”, before another slogan is shouted, before another Jewish person is told that Israel — the Jewish state — is uniquely evil: PLEASE LEARN. Learn October 7. Learn Jewish history. Learn what happened to the hostages. Listen to Israeli survivors. Listen to Jewish families. Visit Israel if you can. And then make your argument. You don’t have to agree with me. You don’t have to support every decision of the Israeli government. But please don’t erase Jewish suffering while claiming to care about humanity. I am a Jewish woman and a mother, and I am thinking about the next generation. I want Jewish children to grow up without fear. I want Palestinian children to grow up without fear too. And I want the truth — ALL OF IT — to matter. Remember October 7. Remember the victims. Remember the hostages. Stand against antisemitism. Pls share it my friends let’s spread the truth with all the facts and truths let support Israel a the only place for the Jewish nation 🙏🇮🇱🥲
