Three years ago today: 1,200 murdered. 251 taken hostage. The deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Since then, antisemitism hasn't returned. It's exploded. Attacked in the streets. Hunted on campuses. Murdered from Washington to Sydney. For one reason: being Jewish. October 7th didn't create this hatred, it revealed it. I'm raising my daughters to be proud Jews. Loud. Visible. Unapologetic. We will not hide 💙

The public memorial ceremony for 7/10, unlike the one run by the government, is broadcast and viewed by 100s of thousands across Israel. The people of Israel stand together, bowing our head before the fallen. #StandWithIsrael 🇮🇱

Over 75 senior retired 🇺🇸U.S. generals, admirals, and military lawyers have signed a new open letter rejecting claims that Israel committed genocide in Gaza. The signatories include those who have commanded U.S. armed forces in combat, applying the laws of armed conflict. Their conclusion: based on the facts and applicable legal standard, the conduct of Israel’s war against Hamas does not constitute genocide. As the letter states, “Civilian deaths occurring during combat, however tragic, are insufficient, by themselves, to support a finding of genocidal intent.” The standards used to judge military conduct matter precisely because war is tragic and imperfect. “The precedent established today regarding Israel will shape the conditions under which American forces fight tomorrow. Protecting civilians and preserving the ability of our nation to defend itself requires us to defend the truth when the laws of war are being distorted to make false charges of genocide.” This is not an argument for minimizing the suffering of civilians. It is an argument for applying the law faithfully and maintaining the distinctions that matter: between the tragic consequences of war, violations of the laws of armed conflict, and the specific crime of genocide.

עד השיכחון המוחלט

הדבר הרדיקלי ביותר שאפשר לעשות בשבעה באוקטובר הוא להחזיק תקווה שנצליח לשנות פה, בואו נחזיק עוד קצת

זוכרים. 7.10.

Emily Damari made a video reminding the British public of the horrific suffering that she and other British citizens had to go through as a result of October 7th. Will her appeal to basic human empathy reach the people planning to celebrate terrorists murdering entire families tomorrow? Probably not. But her message of thanks to those who stood with her and all those who suffered most likely will reach those who need to hear it.

Only Israel can be the true safe haven for Jews. #AmYisraelChai

France is outraged by the high school protesters using the rap song MRH in their protest. In the song, they reference the Islamist terrorist Mohammed Merah who murdered 8-year-old Myriam Monsonego back in 2012 for being Jewish. On March 19th 2012, Mohammed Merah arrived at the Ozar Hatorah Jewish school in Toulouse heavily armed. He first shot Rabbi Jonathan Sandler and Sandler’s sons, Arieh and Gabriel, who were waiting near the gate. Myriam, the school director’s daughter, ran into the courtyard. Witnesses and later trial testimony said she turned back for her pink schoolbag with her favorite ballet slippers. She stumbled and was caught. Merah grabbed her by the hair and shot her in the head. He murdered 7 people in total

A message that deeply moved me. 🇮🇱💙🇸🇨 Nervanah, a Druze woman from Suwayda, has been persevering every single day in learning Hebrew. Today, she chose to use the language she is learning to send a heartfelt message of solidarity with the people of Israel and to honor the memory of the victims of October 7. From Suwayda, across borders and despite everything that separates us geographically, her words carry a simple but powerful message: humanity, remembrance, and solidarity know no borders. Thank you, Nervanah, for remembering with us. 🕯️🇮🇱 We will never forget October 7.

The far left sees October 7th—the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust—not as an occasion to mourn the 1,200 Israelis murdered in an act of terror but as an occasion to romanticize the mass murder of Jews as “resistance.” The inevitable consequence of glorifying political violence is political violence itself. That is the dangerous direction in which American politics seems to be heading.

Arab Barometer, one of the largest public opinion survey repositories in the Middle East, has released a new survey regarding Palestinians and their feelings on a two-state solution. Once again, the results show that Palestinians desire two states over one. As loud and insistent as the Free Palestine movement in the West is about killing/exiling every Jew to make way for a single Arab state, let's maybe listen to the people this conflict actually affects.

זה כמעט כאילו חשוב שיהיו אנשים עם כישורים בסיסיים בתפקידי מפתח שאחראים על ביטחוננו.

וכך נראה ניצחון החרדים על מדינת ישראל: חיילי צה"ל מוברחים תחת אבטחה משטרתית מהבניין במודיעין אחרי שנכשלו במעצר עריק חרדי שמתגורר בשכונה. השוטרים הצבאיים הגיעו לדירתו, אולם בעקבות הגעתם מאות חרדים שמנעו את יציאתם, הוא שוחרר. בין לבין צעקות "נאצים" על השוטרים. על זה הבחירות.

Even as a scholar of antisemitism, I can't wrap my head around how the worst massacre since the Holocaust didn't earn Jews any sympathy or solidarity, only int'l scorn that began while bodies were still warm on October 7. Now, 3yrs later, nowhere in the world is safe for Jews.

מתנצל, אבל לאחר מופע הבלהות של הבוקר, אף גוף תקשורת שמכבד את עצמו לא יכול להמשיך ולהעסיק את ינון מגל. יש קווים אדומים שחברה חפצת חיים ומוסר לא יכולה להרשות לעצמה לחצות. לקרוא למשפחות החטופים ולמשפחות השכולות, לישראלים טובים שלפני שלוש שנים רבים מהם איבדו את יקיריהם ואת עולמם, ״אנשים מתועבים ושפלים״ - זה דבר שלא ניתן לעבור עליו לסדר היום. פשוט לא. עופרי ביבס, איילה מצגר, נילי מרגלית, אייל אשל, אבי מרציאנו, דני אלגרט, כרמית פלטי קציר, עינב צנגאוקר, יעל הדר, מעין שרמן, הדס קלדרון, אילנה קמינקה, שניר דן, ראומה קדם, מירב סבירסקי, יונתן שמריז, חגית ורובי חן, ליאת אצילי, יהודה כהן, גיל דיקמן, עדה שגיא, יסמין פורת - החברה הישראלית אוהבת אתכם ומחבקת אתכם. ינון מגל הוא תועמלן פח, בוגד מבפנים, שייזכר לדראון עולם כאפיזודה שחורה בחיי המדינה הזאת. בקרוב התיקון מגיע.

Thank you Suzan. #FreeKurdistan!

10/7 shook every Jew I know to the core. The brutality. The cruelty. The disregard for human life. We thought “Never Again.” We were wrong. But what may have changed me the most was 10/8, the horror of watching people celebrate what had just been done to our people

האנשים המתועבים ביותר במדינה...

אני רוצה להתנצל בפני נתניהו שרצחו לי את הילדה במשמרת שלו. ינון מגל, עשיתי את זה נכון?
