Palestinian Hamasโs own videos show it digging up water pipes and turning them into rockets to attack Israel.
Infrastructure meant to serve Gazans is sacrificed to fuel Hamasโs war.
When the rains come and sewage floods Gazaโs streets, outrage should be directed at Hamas.

What did Hamas spend millions building underground? Terror tunnels to attack Israelis.
What should it have built? A modern drainage system to protect Gazans from flooding.

Hebrew has no uppercase or lowercase letters.
This makes yelling in all caps VERY DIFFICULT.

Hamas is promoting a narrative of "starvation engineering" on social media. This is not what starvation looks like. Stop spreading the lies of a terrorist organization. See for yourselves the abundance of food in the Gaza Strip, as documented on social media.

Arab citizens of Israel voted 10 times in parliamentary elections since 2006.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority has denied Palestinians the right to vote for 20 years.
Yet thereโs no outrage. No headlines. Just silence.

How does ๐ฎ๐ฑ democracy work?
In Israel, every citizen aged 18 and over has the right to vote.
One vote determines which party they support. The results determine how the 120 seats in the Knesset are distributed, which parties enter parliament and who can form a government.
A 3.25% electoral threshold. A parliamentary majority of 61 seats.

Jewish heritage in the Middle East, before politics denied its existence.
In 1932, archaeologists digging at Dura-Europos (a Roman frontier town in what is now Syria) uncovered a 3rd-century synagogue whose walls were covered in colorful paintings of biblical scenes: the Exodus, Esther and Mordechai, Elijah, the binding of Isaac, and more.
Scholars were stunned. Many assumed Jewish communities of the time avoided figural art. The paintings survived almost intact because Roman soldiers, preparing for a Persian siege in 256 CE, packed the building with earth to strengthen the city wall. When the city fell and was abandoned, the synagogue stayed buried and protected for nearly 1,700 years.
One of the most unexpected windows we have into ancient Jewish life.

A video filmed by an unidentified Israeli passenger on board showed him wearing a shirt stained with blood. โWe are in the midst of a plane hijacking,โ he said in the video, published by Kan and Ynet. โWe have now subdued the hijackers, and we are about to land." The passenger stressed that everyone on board was safe, except for the pilot.

Statement by the Embassy of Israel to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan on the attempt terror attack against a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv (30/9)
Earlier today, a terrorist attempted to crash aย ยซย Fly Dubaiย ยป flight making its way from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The majority of the 174 passengers aboard the flight were Israelis, including children. The terrorist, who was one of the pilots, attacked his fellow co-pilot, tried to cause damage to the airplaneโs systems and to crash the airplane in order to kill its passangers.
Fortunately, thanks to the courage and resourcefulness of some of the Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew, they were able enter the cockpit, confront and overpower the pilot, and regain control of the aircraft. Their immediate actions prevented a potential catastrophe and saved the lives of all those on board.
Contrary to some media coverage in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, this incident cannot be considered as a mare ยซย strifeย ยป between passengers or pilots, nor as an emergency landing outside of the flightsโ route. This was meant to be a catastrophic terror attack against civilians which was prevented due to the passengersโ heroism .
We assess there was no coincidence in the attempted attack against Israeli citizens onboard an Emirati aircraft.
Terror will not break the bonds between Israel and the UAE, and will not jeopardize the vision of the Abraham Accords and the peace making progress in the region. The state of Israel deeply values its relationship with the UAE and remains committed to strengthening the ties between our countries and our peoples.
This Terror attack must be utterly condemned by all those who seek to enhance peace and normalization in the Middle East region.
