Israelis and Palestinians deserve peace, safety, and dignity.

The solution will never be displacing one side, whether that means a Judenfrei state “from the river to the sea” or forcibly resettling Palestinians.

We must solve the conflict by recognizing Israeli and Palestinian ties to these lands.

“Evyatar is fighting for his life with what little strength he has left,” Matan Eshet, David’s cousin, told Jewish Insider. “You can see it in his eyes. You don’t need a medical degree to understand that Evyatar only has a few days to live.”

@lahavharkov reports:
‘Evyatar became a skeleton in Hamas tunnels,’ hostage’s cousin says after video released
‘We need everyone who sees the difficult pictures of Evyatar to understand that we don’t have another minute. We don’t have another day. We can lose him in the coming days,’ Matan Eshet tells JI

Where are all the headlines today showing Evyatar David’s starved body, forced to dig his own grave in Hamas’s tunnels?

Where are all the Instagram stories from celebrities who “can’t stay silent anymore”?

Why doesn’t Evyatar deserve your outrage?

What hell looks like: the footage Hamas shared of the hostages they still hold, knowing the media and the entire world would look away and never be outraged about it.

If you refuse to condemn Hamas for the murder, maiming, mutilation, rape, torture, and abduction of thousands of Jews and Israelis on October 7, then you have no business calling yourself a humanitarian.

A humanitarianism that devalues Jewish life is no humanitarianism at all

"You have to speak and act with moral clarity, and when supporters of yours say things that are blatantly antisemitic, you can’t leave room for that to just sit there. You’ve got to condemn that," Josh Shaprio told Jewish Insider in an interview.

Like Charlie Brown, Lucy and the Football: He says these things because he knows that (a) while they'll never happen, the press will spend endless days discussing them and keeping him on the front page, (b) much of his base would be thrilled if he could actually make it happen.
Why Trump can't revoke native-born U.S. citizenship
It's all tied to a 1967 Supreme Court ruling that also raised the bar for revoking naturalized citizenship.
