My flight from Germany to Israel was canceled. The only alternative was to reroute through Rome. So yesterday I went from Germany to Switzerland, from Switzerland to Italy, and from Italy to Israel. Was it worth it? Absolutely. “What is the purpose of your visit?” they asked me at the border. The altruistic answer: I’m here to help. The honest one: especially in times of war, I sleep better at night when I’m in Israel. How do you explain that to someone who has never felt it? #travel

We rallied in New York today to stand with Syrian minorities who have been brutalized since Al-Julani’s takeover. Once again, Syrians who dreamed of dignity after Assad are crushed under a new regime of fear. From Assad to Julani, oppression only changes hands—never the lives of those who seek freedom. Today we raised our voices in New York for the forgotten victims of Syria’s endless cycle of tyranny. #syria #druze #sweida #sweidaundersiege #accountability #justice #سوريا #السويداء_تحارب_الإرهاب

If only the Lebanese knew how distorted their perception of the Israelis is…

I don’t often wear my Syrian hat. But today, I have no choice. What has been done to non-Muslims in Syria is a moral failure — and the destructive role played by Tom Barrack, U.S. envoy to Turkey and Syria, cannot be ignored. He has proven unfit for this role — unable or unwilling to control the forces he empowered through the interim government. This is not diplomacy. This is negligence with human consequences.

🛑 Let Greta in. Let her stay. Let her see. Greta Thunberg and her companions want to sail into Gaza — let them. But let them stay. Let them witness, firsthand, the brutal reality of the Islamist regime they naively defend. Let them see how Hamas treats its own people. Let them feel the weight of war — not as a game or slogan, but as the devastating consequence of jihadist ideology. Perhaps then, they’ll understand that Israeli hostages are human beings too — taken from their families, held in terror, while the world looks away. Israel didn’t choose this war. Hamas did. But maybe Greta and her friends, from inside Gaza, will finally propose a better way — not to Israel, but to Hamas. Maybe they’ll finally learn who really needs to change. Letting them in would be a tribute to every victim of Islamism. Let’s see if the world demands their immediate release — even though they entered willingly, unlike the hostages still hidden beneath Gaza’s ruins. #GretaThunberg #Gaza #GazaFlottila #israel #hamaswashing

How do haters expect me to believe the lies on the news over my own eyes? In Israel, in broad daylight, on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, a woman in a keffiyeh, a symbol tied to violence against Israel, walks around freely. Nobody bothers her. Meanwhile, Israeli police won’t allow a Jewish prayer book past the gate. Only Muslims are allowed to pray at the site. That’s the status quo. Agreed since 1967, when Israel took Jerusalem from Jordan and Moshe Dayan handed religious administration to the Jordanian Waqf, while Israel kept control of security. #israel #jerusalem

Dear Latvians, Israel is not what causes wars and loss of life in the Middle East. The root cause behind our problems in Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Israel, Yemen and across the region has a name coined by Dr. Einat Wilf: Palestinianism. Palestinianism, in Wilf’s framework, is the belief system that defines Palestinian identity primarily through opposition to Israel, rather than through the creation of an independent, constructive political future. 97% of Latvia’s Jews were exterminated by the Nazis and their collaborators—yet today, Jews and Europe are writing a new chapter together. Do not stain it with uninformed slogans and hateful chants wrapped in a keffiyeh. Israel is the space the Jewish people created to raise their children in safety. After millennia of being told to “go back home,” they did. While Jews accepted sharing the land, Arab leaders rejected Jewish statehood and chose violence to destroy it. That violence has harmed Israelis—and devastated those who wage it. You once stood on the wrong side of history. Do better this time. #latvia #israel #middleeast JEWNITED.LV

Some flotilla activists, including Greta Thunberg, were detained in Israel. Those who signed deportation papers were sent home quickly; others refused, prolonging detention to dramatize the incident. Israeli authorities say voluntary deportation was offered to all and many have already been deported. Officials also claimed the flotilla carried little or no real aid, which organizers dispute. Fair questions remain: Who financed this voyage, how much did it cost, and did it meaningfully help children in Gaza? What would help is pressing Hamas to accept a peace deal that ends the war. #freegazafromhamas🇮🇱 #gretathunberg #freedomflotilla

No, the world doesn’t hate the Jews because of Israel. It hates them for all sorts of reasons. It hated them long before they established a state, and it will hate them long after. Imagine making the same statements made so casually in this video about Black people or Muslims, about gays or the disabled. Would anyone get away with it in the West? The world got away with massacring Jews countless times over millennia—and yet, even after the Holocaust, this shameless hatred persists. Sánchez doesn’t represent a fringe, after all. Shame on Spain. #spain #holocaust #neveragain

A follower sent me this reel to “prove” Israelis abuse Arabs. It’s Ben Gvir talking to a Bedouin man in Hebrew about an illegal structure slated for demolition. The English subtitles are fake — and inflammatory. Ben Gvir actually says: if a Jew built illegally in Tel Aviv or Beer Sheva, it would be demolished just as fast. The fake subtitles say: “We took Tel Aviv from you. We took Beer Sheva. And you think we’ll let you stay here?” I grew up watching this kind of fabrication in the Arab world. Now it just goes viral faster. A subtler trick does the same job: clip the video so it starts at the Israeli reaction, and cut the part that shows what provoked it. Share this. Teach your children to ask what’s missing before they believe what they’re shown. #israel #bengvir

If Jews have the right to live in Tel Aviv, they also have the right to live in Judea — the historic heartland of the Jewish people. The region is home to numerous archaeological sites that document a continuous Jewish presence dating back thousands of years. #judea #jews #telaviv #israel #jewishhistory
