Mayim, I see you. You are not alone.
Thank you for articulating so graceful and fully, what so many of us are experiencing.

This is not pro-Palestinian. This is the deliberate hunting of Jews.
It’s gone too far. Call it out now.

Several of Liam’s family members have been kidnapped by Hamas. He lives in New York, and this morning he witnessed somebody tearing down posters of his cousins. He wrote this, and I thought I should share it.
#israel #hamasattack #coexistence #israelpalestine
Last night, on the 7 month anniversary of Oct 7, @bringhomenow brought our community together for “Lights of Liberty,” to honor the hostages still held captive, and the survivors of that unimaginable hell. We heard from Liat Unger whose cousin Omer Shem Tov is still being held captive, Or Gat, brother to captive Carmel Gat, Moran Stella Yanai a released hostage who shared her experience inside the tunnels. It left us all speechless.
This evening was about Hope. A commitment to bring all the hostages home. Jewish Activists gathered in brotherhood, always a comfort, and Ofir Akunis, Counsel-General of NY asserted his belief that they will succeed in saving the living hostages.
We sang the National anthem and Hatikva, the Israel’s national anthem. And the evening ended with 500 drones flying over the Statue of Liberty asking the world not to forget the loved ones stolen.
7 months underground. In silence. In darkness. Tortured. Raped. But full of hope that they will be saved. We mustn’t let them down.
The psychological torture knowing that Hamas could have released them at anytime in the past 7 months, and the war would be over, is unbearable.
The horrifying death and destruction would stop. Immediately.
And they chose not to.
It’s evil.
They don’t want peace. They have told us time and again.
And they play with the world.
Announcing they accepted a ceasefire deal that was not on the table. Ever.
33 hostages released became 18, and the rest dead hostages.
Without telling the Israelis.
Announcing to the world the news we all have been praying for, the war was ending, but, of course, it was a ploy. To make Israel look like it didn’t want a deal.
While Ham@s has turned down every single deal offered over the 7 months.
All to turn the world against Israel.
And it has worked.
My heart breaks for all the innocent Israeli and Palestinian civilians that have endured immeasurable pain and loss.
I pray that Ham#s will be wiped out, because then everyone will be free of their sadistic terror. If they stay in power (like the Nazis) there will never be peace and safety.
Am Yisrael Chai
Tonight, more than 10,000 people joined @ujafedny, @jcrcny, @jews_of_ny, @therealdebramessing, @brettgelman, @elongold, @idanraichel, @gadelbaz and so many others to say: #AmYisraelChai. #BringThemHomeNow. #StandWithIsrael.
From solemn moments of tribute to those we lost 30 days ago, to calling to bring the 230 hostages still held by Hamas home, to the relief and community we find in song and dance, we showed the world that we stand together #UnitedForIsrael.

Anyone who knows me, knows I am not* a fan of Joe Rogan. But here, he asks an expert, Tim Kennedy, an important question that addresses the dynamics in the Middle East visavi the Palestinian people; and the devastating effect of Hamas’ embedding in the Palestinian people.
BACKGROUND
Tim Kennedy is an active duty Master Sergeant and Green Beret within the US Army. He has served with 7th and 19th Special Forces groups and has been awarded the Bronze Star Medal. Kennedy was one of four special operation operatives that flew into Kabul, Afghanistan as a civilian volunteer to assist with the evacuation of America’s allies for the NGO, Save Our Allies (SOA). After ten days of operations, SOA saved nearly 17,000 lives while staging out of Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA). He has been interviewed for the History Channel.
There is so much to understand about this ancient conflict and the territories of the Middle East. I am still learning.
#palestine #hamas #israel #JoeRogan #freegazafromhamas #hamasterrorists #middleeast
Hama$ broke the ceasefire on October 7th.
Hamas broke the pause/hostage agreement today.
Hama$ has broken every* ceasefire in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
So before you start screaming about Israel’s response, remember who breached the pause agreement with rockets fired at civilians, and a terrorist attack at a bus stop ( committed by 2 terrorists who were JUST released from prison-in the effort to get our hostages back).

On October 7th, 26-year old Noa was stolen from her family when Hamas terrorists invaded Israel. Noa is one of 239 hostages being held captive in Gaza in unknown conditions for over three weeks. She should be home with her family. Release Noa now!

WHAT WOULD A CEASEFIRE MEAN? with the son of founder of Hamas.
Repost @mandanadayani
In my hope to understand Hamas better, their ambitions and tactics, and how they will respond to the various options as the war proceeds, l asked Mosab Hassan Youset, the son of the cofounder and leader of Hamas, many questions, including what would happen if there was a ceasefire.
I can’t imagine how much courage it takes to overcome what he overcame, to recognize the face of evil, and to choose the path of change and less violence.
Additional background:
Mosab’s father, Sheikh Hassan Yousef, is a co-founder and leader of Hamas. After witnessing the brutality and savagery of Hamas on its people, he defected and worked with Shin Bet (Israel’s Intelligence Agency) for ten years to thwart further terror attacks. His codename with Shin Beit was The Green Prince because of the green color of the Hamas flag. After converting to Christianity in the late 90s, he publicly renounced Hamas and Arab leadership. He moved to the USA and was eventually granted political asylum after a lengthy battle and pushback from the American government. His handler, while in Shin Beit, played a significant role and flew out to the USA to help get Yousef citizenship. His book about his time as a Hamas spy working for the Israelis, published in 2010, is called “Son of Hamas.”

Looking at a ceasefire from the perspective of “game theory” and the “credible commitment problem.”(Which I had never heard of, but it’s really thorough and interesting). Via @drhueyli
Professor Robert Aumann won the NOBEL PRIZE for his work on Game Theory.
Still learning

Addendum:
I don’t know one person who is not absolutely devastated and horrified by the loss of innocent life in Gaza and Israel. Please know that my posts are a sharing of learning I have been doing on many different facets of this war. It is to add to the conversation. You may not accept what this legitimate theory tells us about whether a ceasefire will achieve what we all want— no violence, no terror, hostages released- but if you are not capable of holding the innocent people in Gaza in your heart AND try to understand the complexity of this war against Hamas, then I suggest you not come to my page.
Sorry, friends! I thought the full video had posted. Let’s try this again…
A comprehensive history lesson. The beginning of it is a little salty* but the historical facts he lays out are important.
Thank you @malyndahale
I have been thinking about George Floyd a lot these past few weeks. As we protested in the streets, there is never a justification for an unarmed black person to be gunned down by police, there was no justification for unarmed Israelis to be massacred on Oct 7. How we insisted that those 3 policemen- criminals, terrorists— were NOT all police, Netanyahu and the far right Israeli government is NOT all Israelis nor all jews world wide. And Hamas – criminals- terrorists- are NOT all of the Palestinian people. And now, because Hamas broke the ongoing ceasefire of Oct 6, on Oct 7, now there is war. Horrific, catastrophic. We need peace. We need the 240 hostages being held by the terrorists underground in tunnels to be released. We need a path to a peaceful 2 state solution. But peace cannot be attained until those hostages are saved. Until the terrorists who victimize Israelis and Palestinians both, are annihilated. Please let us not accept easy, sweeping generalizations. It will not help the true victims in Gaza nor the true victims in Israel. All it has done is light a fire of hate and violence across the globe against all jews, and ignite Islamaphobia.
And we are all scared.
Hamas- please free our innocent babies, children and elderly from 30 countries, and this can all stop.
Let them go.
I pray for peace and the safety of all the innocent civilians who are being terrorized and traumatized by this war.
