Israel Cut Off
Have you noticed how poor their reputation is lately? But have you read the prophecies in God's word? Most churches will not talk about them.
The prophecy in 1 Kings 9:7 KJV was fulfilled when the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. Today there is a Muslim mosque on the temple mount, but the temple of the Lord is gone.
Similar prophecies pertain to all who reject Jesus.
I don't typically follow this lawfare stuff. Whether I like a protest or not is politically irrelevant. This one is different.
McGill was fucking brutal. Physical. Gross. Scary.
Also famously the place where a professor yelled go back to Poland.
"A #Quebec Superior Court judge has authorized a class action alleging #McGillUniversity failed to adequately protect #Jewish #students from #antisemitism, harassment and intimidation on campus following the #Oct7, 2023, #Hamas attack on #Israel.
The #lawsuit was brought by #DavidCobrin, who was a #McGill #undergraduate when the events described in the case began, and covers Jewish students registered at the #university between Oct. 8, 2023, and the publication of an official notice of the ruling. The plaintiffs are seeking reimbursement of 33 per cent of tuition and student fees, along with $5 million in collective #punitivedamages. The ruling allows those claims to proceed but does not determine whether McGill is liable."
Dear @Codeberg,
As an active member, I’d like to know what action will be taken against LinuxIsBest – the person mentioned below – and his account.
He is using Codeberg to spread Zionist lies about Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org) and attempting to get people to mass block verified accounts of people on the fediverse facing genocide in Gaza at the hands of Israel.
As an anti-fascist organisation, I can only assume this goes against what we hold to be acceptable behaviour on our platform.
Thank you.

“I don’t feel safe going. I feel like my presence isn’t going to be welcome. I don’t want to get chased around. I don’t want to get harassed. I don’t want to get yelled and screamed at.

"Following the #Hamas-led #Oct7 attacks on #Israel, #Jewish #authors have described an increasingly hostile environment in traditional #publishing. In fact, the number of #books marketed as Jewish have declined over the past three years — pointing to either fewer Jewish books, or fewer #publishers willing to market them as Jewish.
Even so, the demand for Jewish #romance #novels from Jewish readers has flourished, aided by The Matzah Ball’s #author #JeanMeltzer and a #bookclub she started called Jewish Joy.
“I think a reason why the community grew is because of what the romance genre itself offers the reader, which is basically happiness,” says #HeidiShertok, the author of two #Orthodox Jewish #romances and a leader of Jewish Joy. “We’re going to give you that happily ever after, no matter the struggles and the obstacles and the difficulties that the character is facing.

Lot of fedi commentary on #Australia's #RoyalCommission.
Pretty standard. Five testimonies about firebombing a #synagogue, being cut off from employment opportunities, harrassed in the street, or mass-fucking-murdered on #Bondibeach will get ignored. One person whining people were mean to them for wearing an #Israel pin proves their case against #antisemitism being real.
Things like the royal commission are huge tactical errors on the part of #Jewish #diaspora institutions. They're so stuck on these failed strategies they think doing the same shit harder bigger faster stronger will defeat antisemitism™.
It fuels it.
If the underlying #bigotry believes #Jews control #media, #government and whatever, then anything in the media or by the government, etc that demonstrates antisemitism proves the fucking #conspiracy to them... and the opposite also proves it. Magic!
#Socialmedia is an accelerant. Ya can't win playing a crooked fucking game.

Only love shall win. 🤍
I come from a place that has every reason to believe otherwise. A land that has known too much loss, too much fear, too many people insisting that hatred is stronger. And yet, again and again, my people choose love. We dance after grief. We plant after destruction. We raise children who believe in tomorrow.
That is not naivety. It is the oldest form of strength there is. To keep choosing love when the world hands you every excuse not to, that is the bravest thing a person can do.
So today, choose it too. Not because it is easy. Because it is the only thing that has ever truly won.
Only love shall win. 🤍

In short, five brave human being destroyed some Israeli weapon equipment. No harm to any humans. Just equipment. And they’re being treated like mass serial killers. Certainly with violations of human rights. All in the name of helping Palestinians (and beyond).

A key plank of the president’s plan to spend $1.5tn on the military in the 2027 fiscal year, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), passed the Republican-controlled chamber by a 216-212 vote, with all but six Democrats opposing its passage.
The six House Democrats who voted for the NDAA are Reps. Henry Cuellar (Texas), Don Davis (N.C.), Jared Golden (Maine), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Adam Gray (Calif.) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.).

"Some #American #Jews have been explaining to non-#Jewish friends, neighbors, and colleagues the fear and apartness they have felt since #Oct7, 2023, when #Hamas breached Israel’s southern border and launched an attack that sparked the #Gaza #war and the anti-#Israel – and in some cases #antisemitic – backlash that followed.
In interviews, they describe a sense of disorientation, as if they have been jolted into an entirely new era, in which some have lost friendships and a sense of belonging. This is especially true in some #progressive social circles that never condemned the Oct. 7 violence, and in some cases even within their own Jewish communities that hold differing opinions on what supporting Israel means.

Justice Alex Stein made the remarks during hearings involving international NGOs.

NGOs challenged restrictions preventing them from operating in Gaza and the West Bank.
The ruling contrasts with findings by international legal and human rights bodies."

Cottage cheese shortage exposed a broader crisis across Israeli industry, where foreign technicians are refusing to install or repair imported machinery, leaving multimillion-shekel production lines idle and manufacturers improvising remote fixes
A shortage of Tnuva cottage cheese caused by a malfunction in a sophisticated system purchased abroad has exposed a much broader problem facing Israeli manufacturers. Factories across the country say they have become increasingly isolated, with foreign technicians refusing to travel to Israel even when they are needed to install, maintain or repair industrial machinery

Don't like "going to church"?
Personally, I do not like sitting still in the pew of a man-made church. But I think that is fine with the Lord.
Jesus had his church in the olive groves and on the beaches of the Sea of Galilee.
"#Egypt had enough to argue about without inventing a #conspiracy.
Its #WorldCup run ended in a 3-2 loss to #Argentina after Egypt had led 2-0. A goal by #MostafaZiko was ruled out after a video assistant referee (#VAR) review, and Egypt complained about the officiating. Fans argued about the referee, the late collapse, and whether #FIFA’s system had failed.
That is #soccer.
Then the explanation moved somewhere else.
In parts of #Arabic-language media and online discourse, Egypt had not simply lost to Argentina. It had lost to FIFA, #Zionism, #Israel, the referee, #LionelMessi, #Argentinian President #JavierMilei, Prime Minister #BenjaminNetanyahu, and a hidden system built to keep Egypt out.
One #Egyptian commentator made the claim openly: Egypt had lost to “Zionism, the referee, FIFA, and Argentina.”
That was not match analysis. It was the oldest #conspiracytheory in a new stadium – a new version of the mutating virus that is #antisemitism."
More on that Blue Square poll/survey...
"More #Americans say questioning the #Holocaust is not #antisemitic and express agreement with anti-#Jewish stereotypes, according to a survey the #BlueSquareAlliance Against Hate released on Thursday.
The #poll of 7,053 #US adults, conducted from March 4 to April 3, found that 32% of respondents said they do not believe questioning the Holocaust is antisemitic, up from 26% in August 2025.
The #survey’s margin of sampling error is ±0.92 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
Agreement with all 10 antisemitic #tropes tracked by the survey—including claims that #Jews control #Hollywood and the #media or are more loyal to #Israel than the #UnitedStates—also increased since summer 2025. The rise in agreement with individual statements ranged from 12% to 38%, according to the survey."
Y'all, let's talk about #WAZE. It is blowing up on the socials because someone read the #TOS. This happens every couple of years. The terms everyone is freaking out about is that the app, even though owned by #google, is protected by #Israel's laws, not #US. But only for #Americans. The #EU app doesn't have that provision.
The US provision has been there since 2008. What should be of more concern is that it was founded by members of 8200, and it is possibly the largest continuously updating surveillance database in the world.
Researchers say that it is still possible to identify and track users of the platform via api interception. (I have not verified.)
I wouldn't install it. Your risk acceptance level may be different. But the TOS hasn't changed. They've always been #Israeli crowdsourced #surveillance.

July in Israel is not a month. It is an oven setting. 🥵🇮🇱
We are talking 13 hours of blazing sun a day, zero rain, humid Tel Aviv afternoons, and the Dead Sea area pushing past 40 degrees. Israelis do not just endure this. We have an entire survival system, and it comes with its own vocabulary.
In an Israeli summer, certain words stop being words and become lifelines. The signs you scan for on every street. The things you ask for the moment you walk in somewhere.
In today’s video I teach you the exact Hebrew words to look for when you are out and about and the heat is winning. Learn them, and you will navigate an Israeli summer like a local.
How hot does it get where you live? 🌡️👇

"In a text message, he said the point of the remark was to push back on what is constituted as #antisemitism and said he was surprised by the negative reaction it has received.
“My intention is never to influence opinion or fan flames, but to say: it’s okay to raise eyebrows, though I hope my messages reflect a depth of understanding others find in themselves but not always in the world around them,” said #Perry by text message. “Through the media I consume, I believe modern-day antisemitism is exaggerated, mostly as a defense for #Israel’s actions in the #MiddleEast and its involvement in our politics, and my intention in referencing #Jewish people on the marquee was to prod at everything being seemingly #antisemitic with a statement that couldn’t possibly be construed as antisemitic.”
Imagine being so delusional you think there's gonna be a Jewish president nowadays 🤪
"#Ossoff, 39, were he to run and win, would be the first #Jewish #president of the #UnitedStates, and his Jewish identity has crept into discussions about his potential candidacy.
He has drawn comparisons to #BarackObama, who said in 2006 that he “will not” run for president, two years before he did so successfully.
The buzz around Ossoff has largely focused on his sharp criticism of #Trump, attracting some prominent #leftwing figures. #Progressives such as Gen Z commentator #JackCocchiarella and #ZohranMamdani adviser #MorrisKatz have lauded Ossoff’s messaging.
Left-wing streamer #HasanPiker — a harsh #Israel critic who has drawn allegations of #antisemitism — said Ossoff “will be my dark horse pick, depending on how he presents himself if he has ambitions for higher office.”
One subject that Ossoff has largely steered clear of during his reelection campaign is Israel..."

I turned to #PublishersMarketplace, the leading industry database where many #book deals are announced, and reviewed #fiction deals for #books by #Jewishauthors that publicly signaled Jewish or #Israeli content. What I found was grim. Between 2023 and 2024, there was a 76% decline in fiction deal announcements to large presses that mentioned #Jews, #Judaism or #Israel. The numbers improved somewhat in 2025, but they did not recover. Compared with 2023, announced sales of #Jewishbooks were still down 47% at large presses.

I had an unexpected chance to hear Sen. #LindseyGraham speak years ago (a picture I took, below). In the face of the ugliness of death, I don't want to post a partisan comment, but simply appreciate the service of a fellow image bearer, who served my country both in and out of uniform and did some things one would hope sit outside our divisions. His views were complex enough in our simple partisan age that I suspect most of us agreed with him on some things and disagreed on others -- that's how it is supposed to be. It isn't often you can read remarkably warm reflections upon the passing of a politician from people as far apart as Sen. #AmyKlobuchar and President #DonaldTrump, but with Graham you can today, because he seemed to actually want to work with people for the causes he believed in (and while he quietly and in a non-showy way cared for his family, at least from when he adopted his sister at age 19 after their parents died). And, I know I always appreciated the consistency with which he stood up against some of the great evils of our age in foreign policy, a rare consistent voice for freedom and democracy, against those attacking #Ukraine, #Israel and beyond.
"#PENAmerica’s president has resigned after the #freespeech group released a report detailing how #Israeli and #Jewish #writers have faced “rising isolation and exclusion” in the aftermath of 2023’s #Oct7 attacks in #Israel and the subsequent war in #Gaza.
The #Ethiopian #novelist #DinawMengestu had held the organization’s leadership position since December 2025. He told The #NewYorkTimes that Pen America’s report, which examines the impacts of cultural boycotts, unfairly maligns the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, an attempt to economically isolate Israel.
The July 9 report, titled “A Silent Moratorium,” was the work of three #authors. They include PEN America’s editorial director #LisaTolin, a veteran of #NBCNews and the #AssociatedPress, as well as its chief communications officer #GeraldineBaum, a longtime former staff #writer for #TheLosAngelesTimes who earned a #Pulitzer Prize for Public Service early in her career at #Newsday."

But if this means #Jews in the public square cannot be credible on any subject, then that is disturbing, to say the least. It’s a trope that smacks of #theProtocols of the #EldersofZion, which claimed that Jews orchestrate shadowy networks of power. Today, this perverse logic would disqualify the vast majority of #AmericanJews from ever weighing in on politics at all."

Lol. Shapiro is completely delusional. Look around at reality as it is, not how you wish it to be, dude.
"#Pennsylvania Gov. #JoshShapiro, a #Democrat, said his #Jewish faith will not stand in the way of his political future and pushed back against suggestions it could be a liability amid rising #antisemitism and anti-#Israel sentiment.
In an #interview on #CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, #Shapiro declined to address speculation about a possible 2028 presidential run, saying instead that he remains focused on governing Pennsylvania.
“What I have found in my years of service in government is that the public wants you to be who you are,” the #governor said. “Let them know what motivates you to serve and why you do this work.”
Sometimes I post articles that aren't about #zionism or #antizionism, but have those words in the pull quote because it drives weirdos who are blocked by babka to post even though I can't see their comments unless I'm using #Jewish search terms from my alt account looking for cool articles.
I'm not sure why, but when I come across these ghost posts it makes me giggle to myself. Every time.

Because antisemitism is not politics to me. It is the comment my husband deletes before I wake up. It is **“go home murderer”** sent to a language teacher. It is not a debate topic. It is my daily reality, simply for being Jewish and visible.
So I had a choice. Stay quiet, absorb the hate, and just do business. Or use my voice to share truth and light. Being Jewish, that was never really a choice at all.
I am a businesswoman and I am a Jewish woman. The world does not let me separate the two so I stopped trying. History has already shown us more than once what happens when good people go quiet.
I will keep teaching Hebrew. I will keep celebrating Israel. I will keep standing up and nothing about that is negotiable.

Happy 4th of July from this Israeli’s whole heart. 🇺🇸🇮🇱
America gave me a new home. The love of my lifetime. A business that fulfills me every single day. And a front row seat to the deep bond between the Jewish people and this nation, woven in from its very beginning.
I come from a people whose story stretches back thousands of years. So today, on America’s 250th birthday, I wish this beautiful country the same. Thousands of years of freedom still to come.
Happy birthday, America. 🎆💙

The BBC and the Grauniad are both suggesting that Josh Simons may be a major player in Andy #Burnham's new regime. If so, that sounds like very bad news indeed.
Simons is the man who used to run Labour Together, the pro #Israel thinktank which pushed the #Antisemitism smear story about #Corbyn. He was later involved in a major scandal involving lies about journalists told to #GCHQ.
Not a man who should be near power.

"Across #Europe, many #Jewish #museums have seen visitor numbers drop, patrons back away and security threats rise since the fall of 2023, according to a recent report by the #Amsterdam-based Association of #European Jewish Museums, a nonprofit network of 55 institutions. The association’s members also reported online harassment, vandalism and acts of aggression against staff members.
The root of the problems, said #MirjamWenzel, the association’s chair, was that many people seem to perceive Europe’s Jewish museums as somehow tied to #Israel, when in fact they are largely publicly funded by local governments, ticket sales and sponsorships, and typically focus on the history of #Jews on the continent.
“We are being attacked as #Israeli institutions and identified with the state of Israel,” Wenzel said.
In interviews, 10 directors of Jewish museums throughout Europe said that their institutions had all felt shock waves after the #Oct7 attacks."

People often ask me if the hamsa is a Jewish symbol. The answer is one of my favorite things to share because it is so much bigger than any one of us. 🤚
The hamsa is ancient, older than the faiths that carry it today. In Jewish tradition it is the Hand of Miriam, sister of Moses. In Islam it is the Hand of Fatima. In some Middle Eastern Christian traditions it is the Hand of Mary. Different names, different homes, and the very same meaning in all of them. Protection. Blessing. Peace.
In a world that loves to draw lines between people I find something quietly hopeful in a single open hand that Jews, Christians, and Muslims have all held close for centuries. We share more than we are told we do.
What does the hamsa mean to you? 💙
Telling the Future Before It Happens
The ancient king of #Israel and Judah was also a prophet. 1,043 years before Christ, king David wrote that the Messiah would be pierced in his hands and feet.
Today, David is highly esteemed among Jews. Yet, Jesus, whom David spoke of, is not.
Any man who claims to be a #Jew should examine the scriptures and see that #Jesus is the Messiah.

So, America's Trumpster Fire is spreading. This regime is the most aggressive cancer the world has ever known.
#Colombia held its presidential runoff on Sunday. The preliminary results show a razor-thin victory for Abelardo de la #Espriella, a far-right multimillionaire with no prior political experience, over left-wing Senator Iván #Cepeda, by a margin of 49.66% to 48.70%, in an election riddled with fraud allegations, in a country with a long and unambiguous history of American interference in its democratic processes.
The winner is a #US citizen who became naturalized in 2023, owns a $5.1 million home in Miami, ran businesses in Florida for years, is a registered #Republican, and voted for Donald Trump in 2024. He was openly endorsed by Trump, who celebrated his ‘BIG’ victory on Truth Social.
He has pledged to ‘disembowel the left,’ move Colombia’s embassy to #Jerusalem, and restore full diplomatic and military ties with #Israel.
People are not pleased.

There is a kind of tired that sleep fixes, and a kind it doesn’t.
When you rest and wake up still carrying the heaviness, that might not be tired at all. That might be empty. And empty does not lift with more sleep. It lifts the moment you stop leaving yourself out.
So this Shabbat, put one small piece of the thing that is truly yours back into your week. The thing you would do even if no one ever knew. Not more sleep. A little more of you. 💙
Shabbat Shalom.

"Two former prime ministers, former heads of all the Israeli security services, former judges, a Nobel laureate and the country’s most revered living novelist were among the signatories to a “final warning” over violence against Palestinians.
They demanded immediate action to “eradicate Jewish terrorism”, cataloguing years of attacks – including murder, sexual assault, theft, arson and desecration of the dead – by civilian and military perpetrators who acted with “almost complete impunity”.
The campaign of extreme violence against Palestinians broke Israeli and international law, put Israel’s security at risk, isolated the country internationally and fuelled antisemitism around the world, they said.
“This letter is a wake-up call and a final warning: We demand that you take all necessary measures to immediately eradicate Jewish terrorism that has been prevalent in Judea and Samaria in recent years,” the letter said, using an Israeli term for the occupied West Bank.
.,.,.,,.
The letter, which has not been made public, was sent to the prime minister’s office, the ministries of defence and national security, the military, police, and intelligence services. A copy was seen by the Guardian."

I have ordered the same Nespresso pods for years and this morning I noticed something I had never seen before. Hebrew, right there on the side of the box. ☕🇮🇱
I looked it up and this batch was made for a handful of markets, Argentina, Mexico, the USA, and Israel, so the Hebrew was printed alongside the other languages.
And it landed with me in the best way. Coffee already feels like a little hug to me. Seeing my language on the box in my kitchen here in America, felt like that same hug all over again. A small reminder of home showing up where I least expected it.
That is what language does. It finds you and it says you are still home, wherever you are.
Has your language ever surprised you somewhere unexpected? 💙

Shabbat shalom from me to you. 🍷
There is something I have carried with me my whole life from Tel Aviv to here and it is this. No matter how full or how heavy the week was, Shabbat arrives and gently tells you to put it down. To pause. To raise a glass to everything you survived and everything you are grateful for.
So here I am glass in hand, wishing you rest that actually feels like rest. A table surrounded by people who know you. And a moment this weekend where you let yourself simply be.
You earned this pause. Take it.

Good.
There has to be a presumption that everyone who has served in the #Israeli military over the last three years has been involved in the #GazaGenocide . The #GenocideConvention REQUIRES all signatories to prosecute and to punish those who take part in #Genocide
When ordinary #Israelis believe that, if they serve in the military, they can never leave #Israel, the oppression of #Palestine ends.
This should be fun.

#ForrestKendallPemberton, 27, of #Gainesville, is charged with an attempted #hatecrime, using and carrying a #firearm during a crime of violence, and possession of a short-barreled #rifle.
Federal prosecutors said that on Dec. 23, 2024, #Pemberton attempted to carry out a shooting at an office belonging to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (#AIPAC), a group that lobbies the U.S. government in support of Israel, in the South Florida city of #Plantation.
He was reportedly armed with an #AR15-style rifle equipped with a silencer. The Palm Beach Post previously reported that AIPAC was the targeted group. Court documents didn’t specify the nonprofit."
NEW | 1,000 Palestinians Killed After Gaza ‘Ceasefire’ as Israel Deepens Occupation and Humanitarian Catastrophe
More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced in October, exposing the gap between promises of calm and the reality on the ground. Israeli attacks continued across the besieged strip, claiming at least 1,005 Palestinian lives.
Israel has also expanded its occupation in Gaza to 64% of the Strip, while displacement, destruction, and forced evacuations persist. The anticipated second phase of the agreement, which was supposed to include an Israeli withdrawal, has yet to materialize.
The humanitarian crisis continues to worsen. Gaza’s healthcare system remains on the brink of collapse, with only 20 of 37 hospitals partially functioning and no fully operational hospital remaining. Aid access remains severely restricted, reconstruction has not begun, and nearly 1.9 million Palestinians remain displaced.
Since the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed, while vast areas of the Strip have been reduced to rubble.
