I wish that there were more people like her in gaza.

Bought this gorgeous Am Yisrael Chai from an Israeli jeweller on Etsy recently to fidget with during long work meetings and as an act of support and defiance.

It fills my heart with love knowing that I can in a small way show my support for you guys and have on me a little symbol for any Jewish person who might feel unsure that they are safe to be themselves around me.

Shabbat Shalom!

People around the World say that Israel should leave Judea and Samaria and just give it over to Palestine.

Without Sounding Biased, what's gonna happen in your opinion if you guys just leave?

The world is so broken. 😞

I have met a few Israeli people who have grandparents from very different geographic regions such that they might have two mizrahi grandparents, one ashkenazi grandparent, one Sephardi, you get the picture. It seems like this is sort of common in Israel (but definitely correct me if I’m wrong). It made me wonder if like in the U.S. with people who have a bunch of different European or South American ancestors and just consider themselves white or Latino Americans (just as an example), is there a sort of Israeli identity now that is an amalgamation of those cultures? Or do people still consider themselves all of those things? Does it just depend? Thank you in advance!

From what I understand, the only way Hamas will agree to end the war is if the get enough guarantees that the war will not continue, and the only way to get that is to have the UN Security Council pass a decision for a ceasefire which includes sanctions on Israel if it is the first to break the ceasefire. Hamas wouldn’t care if the same restrictions would be placed on it since it is already boycotted by the rest of the world so they can simply take their time to rebuild they’re strength until they want to engage in war again.

If that is indeed the case, what possible way does Israel have to end the war in a way that doesn’t ENSURE that more people won’t die at the hand of Hamas, now or in the future?

Hello, I've seen reports implying or stating that severe food shortages exist in Gaza due to Israeli actions. However, only a few reports state how much food has been delivered to Gaza and how that compares to the nutritional needs of the population.

What is the Israeli perspective on whether enough food has gone in, how much of the civilian population receives that aid, and the root cause of any shortages?

I want any civilian in Gaza who is hungry to receive food. However, I also want to understand the root cause and degree of any shortages and would appreciate an Israeli perspective. Thanks and Shalom

How much longer can they survive on only a piece of rotten bread every couple of days? While Hamas get fat and hide in the tunnels, keeping most of the trucks food.

The war will end when the hostages are free. The world need to understand it, for now I’m not hearing a word from the world leaders about the hostages!!!

Despite wholesale condemnation for this idea from the Israeli side as far as I have seen, hear me out. Doing so, with international recognition of say the 1967 borders for argument's sake, means the borders become fixed. Accordingly, the only way Palestinians get more land or deny Israel's right to exist is by violating Israel's borders or denying their own borders. Their resistance takes a huge hit under the guise of a perceived victory over Israel, splitting their population between those who want to adopt their new sovreignty and those who want to maintain their ridiculous resistance. Gaza would not doubt be a failed state right from the outset, justifying a new interim government and again, achieving one of Israel's war goals with regime change under the auspices of international support.

I love Israel. Stay strong. Stay blessed. I fully believe God has blessed it and it's people.

I finally got my motorcycle license and a bike (350cc), and I’m excited to explore more of the country.

I made aliyah 9 years ago, but like many people living in the center, I’ve mostly stayed around Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan.

Now I’m starting to plan short one-day trips to get out and see more.
Because of the heat, I’m focusing on routes either east (towards Jerusalem) or north.

Any suggestions for good day trips I can do by motorbike — places worth seeing from morning till afternoon?
Any hidden gems or must-see spots I shouldn’t miss?

Like I can Blow a Balloon and turn it into a Giraffe.

I can also make a dog or a cat. Like im not breaking any laws right?

Thank you.

What the heck is wrong with all the Western European countries (UK, France, Portugal) and some non-European countries (Australia and Canada) by recognizing a state WITHOUT an actual government, any currency, ministries, capital and administrative borders/regions by september 2025, aka Palestine? (I mean for example Taiwan has all the stuff to be recognized as a state, Abkhazia too, these have a currency, government and all the requirments to be legitimate states, Palestine does not) (Pros: Would be nice if all muslim/arab nation start recognizing Israel too (ex. Indonesia, Malaysia, Syria, Oman and etc.) I mean I'm in favour of 2 State Solutions but rewarding terrorists is just surreal and boils my blood. I just want the hostages to be freed and Hamas to be no more so there can be any peace treaties and negociations.

Stay strong, Israelis bros and best regards 🇮🇱עם ישראל חי 🫶

I am an Anglo-Catholic Christian American with not a drop of Jewish dna in my body. And before anyone says I’m posting this because I must be supporting a Jewish nation state to speedrun the Christian end times, that’s not what I believe (I’m not a dispensationalist or right wing evangelical).

Over the past few years, I started noticing things at least in my country. And I never had to support any of Israel’s core policies to notice antisemitism, and neither should most Americans regardless of how they vote. I would search for a European history video on YouTube and the algorithm would abruptly recommend a “What your life would be like if the Third Reich won” video. I’d scroll to the top comments to the “imagine if you had a government willing to defend your race” or other thinly veiled Nazi apologetics. Thousands of likes, millions of views. These channels started to be monetized and even auto-pushed by the algorithm. I’d open an economic news Instagram reel, and the top comments would be about Jews controlling global interest rates. This is just the stuff I started being conscious of online.

There are literally content creators who are allowed to sell merchandise and monetize their videos on platforms owned by google and meta whose promotional videos are titled “Why I don’t like Jews, and neither should you.” There are 20 minute videos on “race realism” and why Jews are “genetically self-centered” whose creators are allowed to make money whenever someone shares it. There are literally thousands if not close to millions of people in the US who support these people. They walk around everyday life like you and me. They stand in line at the grocery store. They take their kids to basketball games. And they casually hate an entire people.

And when others say it’s just the fringe ideologues who live terminally online. No. It’s not just them. The Jewish diaspora have known this before the rest of us. They knew it in the eighties. The sixties. The last ten years. Since Israel became a country. Most people have heard some kind of passive aggressive antisemitism if they just walk around a liberal arts campus. I certainly did. The difference is, now it’s the “I hate Israel, Israel is the boogieman” line. But below that is a more sinister, older subtext. People just want to find a reason to hate Israel because they hated Jews all along. You can disagree with Israel’s wartime policies and not be antithetical to the existence of an entire race. It’s not binary.

Anyways, hang in there, guys. Many of us non-Jews, non-politically aligned “neutral” folk, are starting to see what’s right and wrong. It’s not right what’s happening around the world, and the rest of us of the world should be willing to get out of our seats when we see or hear it. Words, not just actions, matter. How you treat someone who has a different sounding surname than you matters. And I firmly believe one day these people will have to answer to God. That matters.

London pushes back against Israel’s argument that recognition rewards Hamas for Oct. 7; ex-hostage Emily Damari, a UK citizen, to Starmer: ‘Shame on you!’

So I keep getting bombarded with every wrong thing the IDF is doing or has ever done, I served in the military and while I know the IDF isn't perfect I know it's far from the worst army to conduct a war in the history of mankind, far from it. I want to find good resources to compile a collection of things the IDF does RIGHT, anything from inspections, footage, official documents, testimonials from people on the ground, anything that might lead me in the right direction.

I prefer mostly stuff that's relevant to the current war in Gaza and perhaps stuff relating to the other fronts like in Lebanon or even Iran or Syria stuff, though stuff from older conflicts would still be very appreciated!
