Both Israelis and Palestinians deserve safety, freedom, and dignity.

That’s not hate speech.

Opposing any part of this sentence is.

BREAKING: President Donald Trump has announced that Israel and Hamas have signed a ceasefire agreement, and Israeli hostages will be released soon.

We've all been waiting for this moment for so long.

Bipin Joshi's family has authorized the release of a newly found video, shot shortly after the October 7th attacks.

This is the most recent sign of life we have of Bipin, and shows that he was brought into Gaza alive.

We can only pray that he can still be brought home alive.

Bring Bipin home now!

Evyatar David’s sister Ye’ela reacts to Greta Thunberg’s post lying about her brother, an Israeli hostage, being a Palestinian prisoner.

Did anyone see a sign at yesterday’s Free Palestine protests demanding Hamas accept the Trump deal?

Israel, Qatar, and the US already did. Only Hamas hasn’t.

How silly of me to think that a “peaceful” movement would actually want… peace.

BREAKING: Hamas is demanding that Israel return the bodies of Yahya and Mohammed Sinwar as part of the Trump deal.

For a group claiming there’s a genocide, they sure are taking their time in negotiations.

The truth is Hamas only cares about Hamas. Palestinians always come last.

Shlomo was one of the founders of Nahal Oz. He worked as a locksmith and was deeply involved in the kibbutz’s cultural life as an actor and singer.

His heroism, love, and selfless courage will never be forgotten. May his memory forever be a blessing.

The terrorists shot him on sight but left the rest of the house untouched, believing it was empty.

Thanks to his sacrifice and courage, his loved ones remained safe in the shelter for hours until they were rescued.

Shlomo Ron, 85, was murdered by Hamas in his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7.

During the attack, his wife, two daughters, and grandson hid in the safe room. Without hesitation, Shlomo went out and calmly sat in his easy chair in the living room.

Because of Hamas, she has been dead for longer than she was ever alive. And that is a tragedy beyond words.

May her memory be a blessing.

Mila Cohen z"l, at just 9 months old, was one of the youngest victims of October 7th.

She was shot to death in her mother's arms.

Because of Hamas, she never saw her first birthday. She never got to go to school or make friends.

UNBELIEVABLE: In a post about Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, Greta Thunberg included a photo of hostage Evyatar David from a propaganda video published by Hamas.

Their evidence of Israel’s crimes is literally footage of the crimes committed against us.

Celebrating October 7 is no different from celebrating 9/11 every year on its anniversary while cheering for Al-Qaeda to kill more Americans.

Rather than being a day of mourning and a stand against terrorism, far too many are turning October 7 into a global day of antisemitism.

It’s October 7 again.

2 years.
24 months.
732 days.
17,568 hours.

48 hostages haven’t seen the sun in 2 years.
They haven’t been fed properly in 24 months.
They haven’t been hugged by their families in 732 days.
They haven’t felt safe in 17,568 hours.

BRING THEM HOME🎗️

The families of the hostages should be spending their time with loved ones.

Instead, they are gathered outside of the Prime Minister's house, begging for their loved ones to come home.

They aren't counting their blessings; they are praying for a miracle.

On Sukkot, we hold the four plants — the palm, the myrtle, the willow, and the etrog.

Each plant is rooted in the land of Israel and represents one of its four corners.

Thousands of years later, our hands continue to lift them in joy, just as our ancestors did before us.

Everything Hamas tried to erase vanished in one day: the warmth, laughter, a baby’s red curls.

The house is still there. They aren’t.

Read it. Remember them.

Never forget.

Feels like yesterday — but here’s the reality.

Jews are indigenous to Israel because it is our ancient homeland, the birthplace of our nation, and where the bodies of our ancestors remain.

Jews have a sacred relationship to our homeland like any other tribe.

Jewish holidays, especially land-focused ones like Sukkot, resemble those of other indigenous cultures.

We orient ourselves toward sacred directions (Israel), pray in the language of our ancestors (Hebrew), and wave native plants (four species) to the 6 directions of the wind.

Like all indigenous people, Jews have rituals for giving thanks for the food, land, knowledge, and other gifts from our Creator.

Jews welcoming the “angels of peace” to our homes every Friday or Elijah on Passover resembles native rituals of welcoming spirits or ancestors.

Jews are an indigenous people.

This is because we are an ethnic group with a land-based agricultural religion that revolves around our
ancestral lands.

We've also kept a culture distinct from dominant society, despite being conquered by empires.
