The #Judaism posts here on @bsky.app have become as Jewhating filled as those on #Twitter. The only difference is that on Twitter, the hate comes from the extreme progressive left AND the alt-right while here on Bluesky, ALL the #antisemitism comes from
the left.

No. That’s not what Zelenskyy said or implied. He was referring to the fact that the U.S. is thousands of miles from Russia. He is saying that while the Trump Administration may think that Russia won’t be a threat, Putin cannot be trusted, will lie to Trump, and turn on the U.S.

Yes AND none of this changes the fact that Hamas carried out an invasion into Israel with the express intention of murdering innocent civilians, including infants, in brutal fashion.
The point of the Shin Bet report is that Netanyahu’s actions made the attack possible & Hamas is responsible.

Israel’s internal security agency, Shin Bet, has said Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies were among the underlying causes of the 7 October 2023 attack in which Hamas and other militants killed about 1,200 Israelis.
In its report on the attack, Shin Bet acknowledged its own responsibility, admitting it had been aware of warning signs that Hamas was planning an operation, but the agency, also known as the General Security Service, had not grasped the scale, timing and location of the planned attack. However, the report also argued that a string of Israeli government policies had helped pave the way for the Hamas assault.
Among the main reasons for a Hamas military build-up before the attacks, an eight-page public summary of the report listed an Israeli “policy of quiet” towards the group, apparently referring to a policy of restraint in the use of force to keep Hamas’s military capability in check. It also listed Netanyahu’s acquiescence in the flow of funds from Qatar to Gaza, a policy designed to divide Palestinians by boosting Hamas at the expense of the Palestinian state.
The Shin Bet report also pointed to the daily Jewish prayers that have been taking place in recent years in the compound around Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque, known to Jews as the Temple Mount.
The prayers violate a 58-year-old understanding with Jordan that only Muslims should be allowed to pray at al-Aqsa and the esplanade around it, but they were championed by the governing coalition’s former national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
“The cumulative weight of violations on the Temple Mount, the treatment of [Palestinian] prisoners and the perception that Israeli society had been weakened because of the damage to social cohesion” were all contrib…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyefpiziml7b24sxpd74axq7/bafkreibtuj573kzfbyhurxcji6lqye45iqjceuk2v2jniv3zpjgv4ftge4@jpeg)

Zelensky trained as a lawyer. Became a comedian. Opened a production company. One of his roles was president of Ukraine. His grandfather (one of four sons) fought in the Red Army. The other three were exterminated by the NAZI regime (he's of Jewish heritage).

This photo is circulating as “proof” the Israeli hostages were not only treated well by #Hamas but they even kissed them goodbye before they left.
What they won’t tell or show you:
1)The Hamas film director telling him to give the kiss.
2) The hostage made clear this was under duress.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Not good news, but needs to be said: Hamas claimed that Israel killed the Bibas children and their mother in an airstrike. Forensic examination of the corpses reveals the kids were murdered and that Hamas didn't even send back the mother, but a random body. Depravity piled upon lies.
