🚨 "Israel's October attack on Iran destroyed Taleghan 2, an active top secret nuclear weapons facility... where Iran conducted research that could be used to develop nuclear weapons, but also be presented as research for civilian purposes." @BarakRavid axios.com/2024/11/15/ira…

These are not pictures of Gaza, these are pictures from Turkish-occupied Kurdistan. For years, the Turkish government has been indiscriminately bombing Kurds. You probably have never heard about this. No Jews, no news.

Read this and understand just how astonishingly useless @UNIFIL_ really is. And that’s mostly a problem for Lebanon, not Israel, because it makes it much harder to convince the Israelis that they can withdraw safely.

Statement: This morning, a UNIFIL patrol near Qallawiyah noticed a cache of ammunition near the roadway. After informing the Lebanese Armed Forces of the discovery, peacekeepers continued on their planned route.



Because Jews are a tiny minority easily bullied by a Muslim world upset that we exist. Israel was once in the Asian league. It was kicked out by the Muslim countries. You just highlighted an artifact of Muslim antisemitism, not of Jewish privilege.

Why is an Israeli soccer team in the European Football Associations Champions League? Israel is not in Europe. What is this weirdness? Should Bahrain be in the European League? What about El Salvador?

Today, @havivrettiggur returns to the podcast to help us understand where Israel is at in Gaza. What would constitute the Gaza War being over? Is there any progress on a Day After Plan? What is the status of hostage negotiations and other efforts to free the hostages? What would…


The great grandparents of today’s American Jews decided over a century ago to set aside their history, to forget. They wanted to integrate into America, become American, and believed that that level of integration was actually available to them for the just time in the history of…

I've seen a lot of Jewish actors and notables on Finding Your Roots, absolutely shocked when they find out their history.

I kinda like the meltdown over the shocking discovery that Mary was a Jew. The antisemites have been trying to will us into nonexistence for a long time now. The more they try, the more Jews rediscover themselves.

The number of people attacking me for stating the FACT that Mary was a Jew and not a Muslim is amazing. Never seen cognitive dissonance like this!

Call me Back on mud-wrestling and the future of Gaza: ⁦@dansenor⁩ and ⁦@havivrettiggur⁩ address: What is actually happening on the ground in Gaza? Is Israel planning a permanent military or civilian presence there? Why can’t the IDF manage to rescue more hostages?

The first part is wrong. Yes, the occupation is terrible. But every Israeli attempt at ending it ended in the decimation of the Israeli left by the bombings of Hamas and ilk. But it's the second part - if Israel were like the US, there wouldn't be a conflict - that's really…

I would say many evangelicals simply do not know about the apartheid reality in the West Bank. When I talk to evangelical elites they tell me “It's better living under the democratic Jewish state; it's the same as living here in the US” I respond by saying that if Israel was…



This is going to sound trite and cynical, but it's nevertheless true. The vast outpourings of rage over Gaza around the world are not really, ultimately, about the death toll or the suffering in Gaza. There are, obviously - of course - countless decent people who responded…

Massive protests in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Columbia University, over new revelations that Sudan civil war last year caused 61,000 dead in Khartoum alone, many from starvation.

Why on Earth is Israel - yes, Israel - among the happiest countries on Earth? We know why, actually. And you can't really understand us without understanding this. youtube.com/watch?v=wLVZzR…

Some of us non-Jews tried to tell you antisemitism was on the rise in Europe. We told you many, many times that the hate marches wouldn’t end there. Now here we are. You didn’t listen. You didn’t listen to Jews; you didn’t listen to us. We told you so.


Tell me again how Maccabi fans are causing this.

The @guardian doesn't actually oppose platforming conspiracy theories, racism or even calls to genocide. It gave Hamas plenty of column inches. It just has a business model that revolves around virtue-signaling to the affluent western left.

Reminder: The Guardian published op-eds by these guys

Again and again and again, the Talmud instructs us that it is an absolute and supreme command to save lives. (Tractate Bava Kama, page 85, requires doctors to heal; Tractate Sanhedrin, p. 73, and Tractate Bava Metzia, p. 62, command the rescue of all who can be rescued; among…

HAPPENING IN REAL TIME: The Constitution is being replaced with the Talmud.



I'm still being sent this tweet and this oped in the Harvard Crimson. It's always got a nice message attached by a longtime reader or listener. "I know why this is wrong," they write, or some variation thereof, and all my hard educational efforts feel validated. I love seeing…

There are currently 50 Muslim-majority countries in the world, with 19 sanctioning Islam as the only state religion. But according to the Harvard Crimson, it is the one Jewish State, comprising 0.02% of the Middle East, that does not have a right to exist.

This Brussels city councilman congratulates himself on refusing to host the Israeli Belgium ⚽️ game (Sunday 17/11) and therefore preventing Amsterdam-like riots. Interesting approach, here are some more ideas that fit this logic: - banning gay bars to prevent homophobic attacks…

Oof, tough call.

.@Wikipedia really is captured. Article after article, event after event, the world's fifth-largest website is telling the world that our history never happened and that our experience isn't real.

Wikipedia makes the Amsterdam pogrom seem like a football brawl between two evenly matched mobs. Not a word on antisemitism. Do Jewish Wikimedia Foundation donors know that Wikipedia systematically downplays and erases antisemitism? Or that many editors are openly antisemitic?
