I am not Jewish. But I am a proud Israeli citizen. I live in Tel Aviv. Despite the world having extremely opinionated views about the country I live in, few people I have come across on X (that don’t live here) know little of substance about Israel apart from their warped sense of history and reality. This is the first post of a series I will write entitled Everything You Think You Know About Israel is (Probably) Wrong. The points are not in any particular order. Spread the word.
Most Israelis (just over 50%) are not white. The devastating impact on European Jews of the Holocaust meant that the newly formed Israel in 1948 was largely populated by Jews fleeing persecution in Muslim-ruled countries predominantly in the Middle East and North Africa. These are known as Mizrahi Jews and when the State of Israel was formed they made up 80% of the Jewish population living here.
Jews have had a continuous presence in the land of Israel since around 1208 BCE, that’s 3,200 years — long before the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The Muslim faith, in contrast, dates back 1,400 years (610 CE). Yes, when they lost majority rule in the 7th-century Muslim conquest they were not in the majority for centuries, but still lived in their ancestral homeland.
Arab terrorism against Jews existed before 1948. In 1929, for example, 67 Jews were killed in the Hebron massacre, attacked and slaughtered by the Arabs they lived and worked beside. My wife’s great-grandfather Ben-Zion Gershon (who was a local doctor that often treated the Arab community without accepting payment) was tortured, had both his eyes gouged out and was then murdered. This was after his daughter Esther was raped in front of him, and his wife Zahava had both arms chopped off and was left to die. This was just one of many similar massacres inflicted on Jews that day.
I will continue this series over the coming days.
🔥 BREAKING: Elon Musk just unveiled a new Tesla Roadster that can LITERALLY FLY using SpaceX thrusters, and has SO MUCH DOWNFORCE that you can drive UPSIDE DOWN
This will be the best handling car EVER PRODUCED by FAR. And keep in mind, this is a literal PRODCTION CAR that you can BUY.
Absolutely INSANE. James Bond-level stuff! Congrats @elonmusk!
I wrote this song from a thought that keeps returning to me: perhaps our enemies will never learn. Perhaps they will continue trying again and again. Perhaps this struggle will follow us for longer than any of us would ever wish. I pray that it will not.
But beside that thought lives another one — a much stronger one.
There is nothing for us to fear.
History has shown us that no matter how many times people have tried to destroy us, remove us, frighten us or take this land from us, we are still here.
Hineh lo yanum, v’lo yishan, Shomer Yisrael.
“Behold, the Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.”
We are guarded. We have a God, and throughout our history we have seen again and again why our faith has endured. What is asked of us is to trust, to remember who we are, and to continue.
This is our promised land. Others may try again and again to take it from us, but we will defend our people, our children and our home.
Perhaps this too is part of how we speak to the world through these times: not only through survival, but through faith, creation, light and the refusal to disappear.
YOU WILL NEVER LEARN

@Eric_TrumpRv Ilhan Omar is an America hating bish who should be de naturalized and deported. She never has anything nice to say about America, freedom and liberty. Just a nasty ignorant Somalian who knows nothing but war, corruption and destruction.
Fake News Blues is back!
By popular demand, I’ve updated my viral video to reflect recent events: Trump has now banned CNN, MSNBC, Politico, and Kaitlan Collins personally, from the White House.
So let’s celebrate with the song that perfectly fits the occasion.🎉🎉🎉

Debra Messing is Bill Maher posting in the year of our lord 2026. Also if to think the Palestinians have had soveirgnty over Gaza at any point since 2005 you have to ignore everything Israel has done to Gaza since 2005. At this point it’s fair to ask if Bill Maher is being paid by Israel.
This video shows why President Trump banned corrupt news outlets from the White House.
The mainstream media is the enemy of the people!
I hope POTUS airs this on Trump TV because the world deserves to see how dishonest our media is towards him!
