Hi @aipac1.bsky.social , While he was asleep at the wheel Benjamin Netanyahu lost Israel's Qualitative Military Edge. Where do you stand on Israel's national security?

If you are Jewish, concerned about Israel, and wondering what your role can and should be, listen to the Head of Mossad appointed by Netanyahu.

🚨 🇮🇱 The Zionist Project OR Netanyahu's Tinpot Dictatorship. ✊ Only one can prevail. 🎗All struggles are intertwined. Dina Zilber, former Deputy Attorney General of Israel Tamir Pardo, former Head of Mossad Thursday, March 20, 10 am PST / 1 pm EST 📅 RSVP - us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

✊All the Struggles Are Intertwined. Netanyahu knew that Qatari money was flowing to Hamas and his closest advisers—yet he blocks any investigation, revealing he knew exactly what was happening. Qatar’s puppet government must go! Our mission is clear: Saving Israeli Democracy.🇮🇱 youtu.be/0jxpcXJEHCw

💥 The Unfiltered Translated Interview With Freed Hostage Eli Sharabi Don’t miss this rare story of nearly 500 days in captivity, call to bring every hostage home, and the power of even a small act of control. Share and use your "quarter pita" of influence to make a difference. youtu.be/94JKDqD-JgY

Steve Bannon is dangerous but right—two camps cross borders. Israel’s right agrees and has no use for 70% of U.S. Jews. On his visit, Netanyahu ignored Jewish orgs aligned with liberal democratic Jews. If we fight for democracy here but stay silent on Israel, we’re just **"useful idiots"** at risk.

On this terrible day, we need to look through the tears with clear-eyed understanding and determination. False unity without responsibility and accountability only deepen the divide among us and exacerbates the danger to the hostages who remain in Gaza.

The interesting thing about Trump's plan for Gaza is that people think that Trump's plan for Gaza matters at all. It's like the wall that Mexico was going to pay for, or a great health care plan in one or two weeks.

As you consider how to fight Trump, here a lesson I learned in the fourth grade: Always punch a bully in the face. Nine times out of ten the bully win turn tail. The tenth time you will the get crap kicked out of you. That is a 90% success rate. 😉 #bully A repost is of a repost

Our hope isn't lost. Eighty-year old Gadi Moses promised his captors that when the war ends and there is peace, he will come to Gaza and teach them agriculture.🌾💙🕊️ "When you look at Gadi Moses, an 80-year-old who survived hell, you immediately understand why the Smotrich's

🙌While still in captivity, Amit Soussana saw Netanyahu talk about destroying Hamas but never mention the hostages. When she was freed. "How they treat the hostages' families, how they treat the hostages– it's the only thing they'll be remembered for. That is their legacy." youtu.be/BWep6S_6BnA

At the end of a weekend that was more breathless than restful, take a moment to hear the musical conclusion to Israel's SNL with an introspective, soothing and very Israeli take on 'From the River to the Sea' (with subtitles). youtu.be/5plahedT2Yc?...

In a time of huge turmoil and emotion, today's split screen could not be more stark, especially on the topic of women in the military. Last night, the United States Senate confirmed a rapist as Secretary of Defense, whose own mother calls him an "abuser," who believes that women should not serve in

Former Israeli Air Force Commander Eitan Ben Eliyahu on the moral imperative to bring back all of the hostages. “Today is a victory for Zionism. Zionism is NOT killing as many Arabs as possible; Zionism IS returning as many Jews as possible.” @unxeptable.bsky.social

At least we'll get some joy watching fascists eat their own. Israel's Ch. 14 (makes Fox News look like the ReidOut) doing a hit peace on Trump's ME envoy.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

On the occasion of the first hostages returned as part of the deal and on the eve of Trump's inauguration, my (DM) article on Substack. TDS 2.0: Trump Disappointment Syndrome and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Trump's Needs open.substack.com/pub/meyersli...

It is a rare moment of pure joy amidst uncertain and frightening times in our two homelands, that we hope will be followed by many more through the deal's full implementation. The fight for the hostages--that many of us and of @unxeptable.bsky.social were directly involved in--is inseparable from

We’ll cry a lot over the next 4 (or 14 or 40) years but today a little laugh, while holding our breath until the hostages return. MAGA Jews and Israelis reached a state of near-ecstasy over Trump’s “pro-Israel” appointments (actually, pro-Netanyahu, pro-settlement, pro-war, anti-Palestinian),

For everyone surprised and/or griping about the deal that Trump is "offering" for Israel/Hamas, click the "I Told You So Counter" and recall what former Deputy Head of the Israel National Security Council said about the importance of predictability in an American president. youtu.be/WLJ5WKAp8B4?...

So our lives have come down to looking at red pins and pink shaded areas on maps to see how much danger our loved ones (or we) are in. Heroic people on the ground do their best to help while populist leaders deny the root causes of the disasters.

Important words for our time.

🎗️#heartbreaking This is Naama, Shaul's granddaughter. For 15 months, 78-year-old Shaul Levy hasn’t rested while fighting for Naama's release from Gaza. “If we were truly doing everything, Naama and all the 99 hostages would already be home.” #BringThemAllHomeNow #endthewar youtu.be/VTy3xsZWC6g

Haunting. (Ron Arad was the IAF navigator shot down over Lebanon and captured in 1986. Despite years-long efforts, he was never returned and was determined to have died in captivity)

How do you know you're approaching dictatorship? Applies just as well to the US.

Every. Last. Word. It is not just a question of whether Israel continues as a democracy. It is a question of whether anything remains of its Jewish and Zionist values.

It's time to start the "we told you so" counter. Israeli newscast tonight discussing the "window of opportunity" to attack the Houthis because Trump may be more restrictive of Israel and may withdraw from the international coalition protecting shipping in the region. 🤦

Here is an interview with a similar initiative in Israel to advocate for protesters who are targeted and detained by the Netanyahu government. youtu.be/hl4rMpqKzSI

I [David] have a bit of insight into how these rates are determined and, more broadly, the economics of the canal. Suffice to say that the president-elect of the leading capitalist economy is griping about market-based pricing.

Offir from @unxeptable.bsky.social (& IAfD) spoke remotely to the pro-democracy demonstration in Herzliya tonight noting how Jewish Americans voted for democracy in the US, how our fights against totalitarianism are connected, and how important a Jewish Democratic Israel is to Jews around the world.

This is an excellent documentary on the settlers' plans for Gaza.

SPOILER #2 From the Decline of Israel's Democracy A Tale of Two Admirals Coincidentally (or not) two of the most recent Jenga blocks removed from the tower of Israel's democracy come at the expense of principled IDF admirals who, by all accounts, are national heroes standing up to the assault by

“The path we are being dragged down is one of occupation, annexation and ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip.” If he said this in America, leading orgs and leaders would call him antisemitic.

MK and Former IDF Chief Eisenkot after his nephew (and son) fell: Decisions are being made by "people who don't want to see the war end. Netanyahu isn't doing anything to return the hostages. There are visible and hidden goals - and that explains why we're headed to military government [in Gaza]."

I've followed the news over the years - Bibi's start as an anti-terror crusader, his rise to power, family, trials, alliances and the war - but The Bibi Files shows how the pieces of the puzzle form a tragic picture, with incredible insight into Netanyahu www.facebook.com/events/12669...

The #MorningJoe surrender is particularly disappointing. They were among the few US media that stood with the Israeli people while pulling no punches about its leadership. @unxeptable.bsky.social posted them in Hebrew as a mirror for the Israeli public & they were featured at a Kaplan demonstration.

and $10 million for each hostage they keep there

We'll be there. Join us!

SPOILER ALERT This is what happens in Season 2 of “The Death of Democracy” from Israel (which is 2 seasons ahead of the US). The gold star father of a 'green beret' killed fighting Hamas on 10/7 is arrested and manhandled by the police for not having an i.d. on his way to a rally for the hostages.
