Today is the release of my new book, with @dansenor, The Genius of Israel, on the resilience, solidarity, and sense of purpose of Israeli society. Available now! amazon.com/Genius-Israel-Sma…

It was great to see dozens of Israeli mobility startups at the Smart Mobility conference in TLV. Was nice of @elonmusk to be with us live at 2:30 am his time. My solution: @LineMobility

This was incredibly moving. @naftalibennett, please circulate a version with English subtitles. The world needs to know about Or Moses.

Great points here from @dansenor As I’ve pointed out, never once heard any calls at these Hamasnik rallies for the hostages to be released. Now that there is a chance to stop the war, they march and chant to Globalize the Intifada.

Inadvertently, but thanks @Saul_Sadka

Aftermath: Flight through one Iranian missile strike youtu.be/dMWUSHXQY28?si=Y1Im…

Iran will be free.

Look at this map. Really crystallizes how incredible what Israel is doing. Not just the distance, but the size. As @saulsinger put it to me, “It's kind of like if Cuba were able to render the US helpless.”

Everything about this is amazing. Everything about this confirms @saulsinger and @dansenor ‘s book premise on Israeli resistance.

Our great post-Oct. 7 challenges can be turned into opportunities. But it won't happen by itself. The Jewish world needs to mobilize its tremendous creativity and resources on a scale never seen before. Megaprojects for a post-traumatic Golden Age blogs.timesofisrael.com/mega…

Congrats to my friend, the incisive writer and editor ⁦@JAGERFILE⁩ on his timely new book, Jewish Civilization and Its Discontents: A post-October 7 Primer & Polemic a.co/d/9Q5qCky

From “The Genius of Israel”, Tge Surprising Resilience of a Divided Nation in a Turbulent World. By @dansenor and @saulsinger

We are excited that The Genius of Israel just came out in Hebrew so more Israelis can better appreciate the strengths of Israeli society.

What a beautiful initiative. unitedwithisrael.org/father-…

This is what Israel is about. Farhan al-Qadi, a 52-year old Beduin-Muslim Israeli citizen, was released from captivity by special forces of the IDF. He was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th, along with another 240 Israelis. All Israelis are celebrating his returning home. He’s being treated in Soroka Hospital by a Doctor who’s an Orthodox Jew, and this is quite standard in Israel. (My dad z”l was treated by a wonderful Muslim doctor 9 years ago, before he passed away). Jews, Muslims, Druze—we care for each and every Israeli. Nothing here is unusual in Israel. I wouldn’t have bothered to post this had there not been this huge fake “Apartheid” campaign. We risk our lives for each other. We live together. We respect each other. And we’re all darn proud to be Israelis!🇮🇱❤️

Something I just wrote. Munders and Metzgers, salt of the earth blogs.timesofisrael.com/mund…

Topple the mullahs

“At this moment, 109 treasured human beings are being held by Hamas. They are Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Buddhists… Among the hostages are 8 American citizens. One of those hostages is our only son Hersh.” Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg’s son Hersh was at a music festival when Hamas attacked on October 7. “This is not a political issue. This is a humanitarian issue.” Tonight they walked out to a standing ovation and chants of “Bring them home!”

The mullahs greatest fear is of the Iranian people. “The head of the octopus is much more vulnerable and feeble, than its arms. So how foolish are we to engage in war with the arms when we could engage with the head?” @naftalibennett in NYT nytimes.com/2024/08/13/opini…
