Six hours before the Jewish Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, Netanel Shukrun, a father of six, was killed when a terrorist opened fire on his car. Netanel used his last seconds of life to tell his son to run. An hour later, a terrorist tried to ram soldiers at a checkpoint. An hour after that, an Israeli who took a wrong turn into a village in the Hebron Hills was attacked and wounded. Forty minutes later, another attempted ramming targeted Israeli troops. Ten minutes after that, a vehicle with no license plates tried to run down two Israelis. Simply another average day in Judea and Samaria. And people wonder why Israelis tire of the endless accusations of settler violence. By August 11, the Foreign Ministry had counted 896 Palestinian terror attacks in Judea and Samaria since the start of 2026, with four Israelis murdered and 119 wounded. Over the first half of the year, the security establishment recorded 660 incidents of Jewish nationalist crime, in which six Palestinians were killed and 140 wounded. For the first time, the two columns look almost the same size, but only if you leave out the attacks that would have happened: in 2025 alone, the Shin Bet foiled 1,374 significant attacks, 717 of them shootings and 630 bombings. Statistics do not justify violence, and this government’s loss of control over the territory is a case of criminal negligence and moral indifference. But for all the talk of how settler violence radicalizes Palestinians, you might expect someone to spare a word for the Palestinian violence that radicalized the settlers. I do not expect Netanel Shukrun’s name to travel far. No matter how often Israelis point out that Jews in Judea and Samaria are in greater danger than Palestinians, sympathy only flows one way. The international press has settled on a story about the region, and a father murdered on his way home from a swim with his son is not part of it. If the killing is noticed at all, expect a long paragraph on settler violence. The implication, never stated outright, is that people like Netanel brought it on themselves. So it is worth asking plainly: what did Netanel Shukrun do to deserve death? Was it the swim, or that ancient offense of being a Jew in the wrong place? The liturgy of Yom Kippur is preoccupied with death. For 25 hours, Jews argue their case before God. They admit to arrogance, stubbornness and baseless hatred, and ask to be absolved and inscribed in the book of life for the coming year. Netanel Shukrun will not get a hearing. In the eyes of the world, he was sealed in the book of death for one unforgivable sin: he lived on the wrong side of the line.

Stop meeting with people/organizations that are waging an informational war against you. Fight them instead. Wage a campaign that drives New York Magazine out of business. That should be the response from JIMENA and NY Jews.
Sephardic and Mizrahi groups led by JIMENA accuse New York Magazine of erasing Middle Eastern Jews. The editor-in-chief agreed to a meeting. forward.com/news/846803/seph…

Replying to @Exner_Garrett
@Exner_Garrett is spot on here on @KatiePavlichNN: to counter the rapidly evolving drone, the US should be developing strategic partnerships with allies such as Israel and Ukraine to learn from them to develop new technology. "We need that" 🎯
WATCH: @Exner_Garrett and @JustinFulcher join Katie to discuss the importance of America pursuing "drone dominance" - both on the battlefield and to defend the homeland against new and emerging threats from Iranian and Russian drones.

Israel standing (not) alone
🇮🇱🇨🇱🇭🇳 Chile and Honduras have returned their ambassadors to Israel for the first time since October 7. The development came as President Isaac Herzog received the credentials of six new ambassadors, including the ambassadors of Chile, Honduras, Germany, Sri Lanka, Georgia, and Nigeria. The move marks another step toward strengthening Israel’s diplomatic ties with countries around the world. -@N12News

Important perspective on @RahmEmanuel’s recent public statements regarding Israel. In short - his perspective and talking points are misinformed and two-dimensional. Reads more like someone trying to navigate a political path in a party that has been taken over by extremists rather than someone who truly understands Israel and the bilateral relationship.
Rahm Emanuel presents himself as someone who deeply cares abt Israel & understands it in ways other US officials don't. Putting aside him obv jumping thru Israel-bashing hoops to run for 2028 Dem nomination - he's shockingly uninformed on Israel. On Dan Senor's podcast... 1/8

Sacrificing the US-Israel relationship on the alter of woke politics
Today over 100 Democrats voted for the Massie Amendment to zero aid to Israel. My brother @RepBowman & @CoriBush lost their seats for this stand 2 years ago. As a colleague told me, Black martyrdom is normalized in America. Today I want to recognize their courage.

The goal of an antisemite is not to argue fairly. Instead, they make false accusations just to watch Jewish people empty their pockets to prove they are innocent. -Jean-Paul Sartre

Eyes and a heart, but apparently no brain
This is unconscionable. Anybody with eyes and a heart knows the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza. It has to end, and we as Americans have the power to end it. When I'm in the U.S. Senate, I’ll never vote in favor of US taxpayer-funded military aid to Israel.

"Real friends tell each other hard truths" is what every politician says before throwing Israel under the bus.
Tomorrow at 9:30am ET at Tel Aviv University, I'll lay out where I believe the US-Israel relationship must go from here. I didn't come to flatter anyone. I came because real friends tell each other hard truths — and tomorrow, I will. Stay tuned.

We all know it’s the latter
Mamdani is either willfully ignorant or maliciously mendacious. 27 countries have Islam as an official state religion, while 23 Muslim-majority countries explicitly declare Islam the state religion in their constitutions. A partial list of countries with an official or constitutionally privileged religion includes Afghanistan, Algeria, Armenia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Egypt, Greece, Iceland, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Malta, Mauritania, Monaco, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, UAE, and Yemen. Religions: Islam, Christianity, or Buddhism. Israel has no official state religion. Yet Israel is routinely portrayed as uniquely problematic because it is a Jewish state. The double standard is obvious. Remember that the next time Israel is smeared by the likes of Mamdani and his ilk.

The next question should have been: “So, to be clear, you do not support Saudi Arabia’s right to exist?”
Reporter: Israel is a Jewish state. That’s in the charter. Do you support that? Mamdani: I’ve said time and again that I support the state of Israel as a state with equal rights. Reporter: As jewish state? Mamdani: I believe that any state that privileges one religion over another is one that I can’t tell you I support, whether it be Israel or Saudi Arabia or anywhere else. @Acyn

Parliament is beginning to resemble the UN.
Excellent from @LordIanAustin on yet ANOTHER debate on the evils of Israel: As he says: ‘Over the last few years, Parliament has discussed Israel more than any other issue, not just any international issue, more than any domestic issue: more than the economy, unemployment, crime, the NHS. ‘The public out there look at Parliament and think this is utterly mad, utterly, utterly mad.’ Lord Ian blames Parliament for helping fuel antisemitism adding: ‘Does Parliament not understand that singling out the world's only Jewish state, holding its standards not applied to anywhere else, falsely accusing Israel of committing these terrible crimes? ‘This is bound to drive hostility towards people who are identified with Israel, which is the vast majority of the Jewish community, and I have to say this is why I believe Parliament is playing a large role in driving the explosion of anti-Semitism that we've seen on the streets of Britain.’
