Lapid wants to take Israel in a different direction than Netanyahu. Lander antagonizes him to set the ground for more extreme anti-Israel policy, since there's nothing the opposition to Netanyahu in Israel can do to satisfy anti-Israel critics and their useful idiots.
Minister Lapid: As someone who won a seat in Congress last night, and who cares about Israel: you’re not listening to what American voters – Jewish and non-Jewish – are saying. We aren’t starving for a barnstorming tour. We’re hungry to see respect for international law and human rights.

The far left sees October 7th—the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust—not as an occasion to mourn the 1,200 Israelis murdered in an act of terror but as an occasion to romanticize the mass murder of Jews as “resistance.” The inevitable consequence of glorifying political violence is political violence itself. That is the dangerous direction in which American politics seems to be heading.

These are the 4 Israeli heroes who saved 174 passengers aboard the FlyDubai flight: Yaniv Chayun, Shota Musayev, Tzvika Mans, and Asaf Rejuan.
“When I entered (the cockpit), there was no one on the chairs, one was down on the floor and one on the instruments…he was trying to destroy the flying instruments.” Listen to Yaniv Chayun recount the dramatic moments when he helped save the lives of The people on board. @BelgiumMFA @IsraelinBelgium

The relentless demonization of Israel and Israelis has consequences. It feeds a world where hatred is taught, violence is excused, and Jewish men, women and children are treated as legitimate targets. So many innocent people boarded that FlyDubai flight today expecting to make it home. Instead, they came terrifyingly close to never seeing their loved ones again. Think about the terror they endured. Think about how many families came so close to receiving the worst phone call of their lives. Hateful words fuel hateful actions. Leaders and people of good conscience must find the courage to speak up and fight back against antisemitism. Enough of this madness dressed up as morality. Innocent lives are at stake.

ראש הממשלה נתניהו בדרך לנאום מול אולם די ריק בעצרת האו״ם. גדלתי והתחנכתי לאחל תמיד הצלחה לראש ממשלה שיוצא בשליחות המדינה וכך אנהג גם כעת. אבל נתניהו הבטיח לנו ״הפתעות״ בנאום ואני מבקש לומר לו: ״אדוני ראש הממשלה. שבענו מגימיקים. נמאס לנו מהבריסטולים עם הטוש. ידענו מספיק ״הפתעות״ בתקופת כהונתך. דבר לעולם. לא לבוחרים בישראל. לא פוליטיקה זולה. לא על חיסולים שעשית. אלא על פתרונות, על יוזמות. אנני מנותק. אני יודע שאני מדבר ללמפות. לפחות שירשם בענן.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres said: “I have never seen killing and destruction like Gaza in all my years as Secretary-General.” According to even the most critical reports, Guterres, 70,000 people were killed in the war in Gaza, a large proportion of them Hamas terrorists. During your years as Secretary-General: more than 600,000 people were massacred or starved to death in Ethiopia. 377,000 died in Yemen — that figure appears in reports issued by your own organization. 150,000 were killed in Sudan and 12 million were displaced. Hundreds of thousands have been buried in Ukraine. You didn’t see it? They died before your eyes. You simply looked the other way, because the Jews couldn’t be blamed.

Sweet Jack Antonoff went onstage last night and screamed “FREE PALESTINE.” Jack is Jewish. I haven’t seen Sweet Jack say a WORD about the horror of October 7th. Not a word about the men, women & babies dragged into Gaza. Not a word about the hostages who spent TWO YEARS in captivity. But NOW Sweet Jack found his voice. These misled musicians & performance-art a**holes continue to show us exactly where their moral alarm system seems to switch on and where it mysteriously goes dark. The silence when JEWS were slaughtered. The silence when JEWS were kidnapped. Then suddenly the microphone comes out for “Free Palestine.”

If @edsheeran needs a new opening act, I can get the band together in a day or so and meet him on the road. We just need expenses and free beer. #FreePalestinefromHamas
