The living hostages are finally free. For the first time in two years, we can breathe.

I pray they heal. I pray this is the beginning of peace. I pray all of this works out.

There is anger too, but I’m holding onto hope, a value that has sustained the Jewish people for millennia.

They are home.

This waiting game is horrid.

I’m so worried Hamas going to pull some stunt.

I just want to see our hostages safe, back on Israeli soil.

BRING THEM HOME 🎗️

Why don’t they care that Hamas is executing Palestinians in the streets now that Israel has withdrawn? Because they never did.

Thank you, @matthewnouriel.bsky.social for itemizing it perfectly. 👇👇👇👇

A white gay thinking he can wield his power to cancel a black gay icon because she supports Jewish liberation is peak white privilege.

Footage coming out of Gaza after the cease fire took effect vs footage from the holocaust when the concentration camps were liberated. Spot the difference? One was a genocide and one wasn’t.

Release the hostages.
End Hamas.
The rest is noise.

@matthewnouriel.bsky.social: Islamic Antisemitism Is Killing Jews. Why Can’t We Talk About It? Politicians dodge it in the name of PC. Journalists hide it behind euphemisms. Academics justify it with pseudo-intellectual horseshit. And Jews – we are condemned if we dare name it.

Islamic Antisemitism Is Killing Jews. Why Can’t We Talk About It?

From Manchester to October 7, the ideology driving Jewish murder is the one the world refuses to confront.

The UN is a farce.

It’s time to dismantle the joke that is the UN and replace it with a body that actually works with integrity and justice.

Because if your definition of inclusion only makes space for those who already agree with you, it’s not inclusion—it’s censorship.

Inclusion at its best is messy, challenging, and honest.
It requires tolerance—making space for difference, not erasing it.

Real diversity means bringing different experiences, perspectives, and ideas to the table—
and having the tolerance to engage with them, even when they challenge us.

Diversity without diversity of thought isn’t diversity. It’s conformity.

When Western “activists” complain about checkpoints in and out of Palestinian territories, they’re complaining that terrorist attacks—like today’s massacre in Jerusalem where 6 Jews were murdered—can’t happen more freely.

WTF is “anti-Palestinian racism”??!

Palestinian is not a race, it’s not an ethnicity… it’s barely even a nationality.

This is lunacy.

At the UN this month, countries will rush to ‘recognize a Palestinian state’ as a result of a war Hamas started with their genocidal aspirations proudly on display.

It changes nothing. It’s performance, not peace.

The only message it sends is: "Congratulations Hamas, keep up the good work".

"All they have to do is swap out “Jew” for “Zionist,” claim it’s about justice, and suddenly they can indulge in the oldest hate with a clean conscience. It’s the ultimate loophole, and that’s exactly why they’re so excited by it."
