For new followers, I'm on this platform since 2009 posting about Jewish/Israeli stuff, but be prepared, I also post about pro-cycling. If you are not interested in those posts (or the inverse), scroll by. There is little joy over the past 18 months, but we find it where we can. For me, it's in this sport.

A big week of stage racing ahead 🗓️ We’re all set for the @tds and @belgium_tour - five days of action at both events begins on Wednesday 👊 #WeAreNSN | @weare_NSN

Netanyahu avoids criticizing US-Iran deal, claims war’s main goals have been achieved timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-… via @timesofisrael WTF? The main goal was to weaken Iran and the US deal, from what is being leaked, actually strengthens Iran.

Wist je dat? Moslims bidden niet op straat in Iran, Saoedi-Arabië of andere moslimlanden—het is illegaal en onbeleefd, omdat het anderen stoort. Ze doen het alleen in landen die ze veroveren, als een dominantie-strategie.

Congratulations Isaac del Toro 🇲🇽🐂 Final stage and overall winner of the Dauphiné 2026 🏆🦁👏 #TourAuvergneRhoneAlpes

Bennett to ToI: ‘We’re at an existential moment. Another four years with this government, we won’t have a society’ timesofisrael.com/bennett-to… With Haredi draft exemption looming & our soldiers still being killed defending us plus this Obama style deal with the mullahs, there are many who agree with him.

Kol hakavod, Nadav!!!

Trump's new Iran deal risks undercutting US, Israeli efforts against the regime | The Jerusalem Post jpost.com/opinion/article-89… This is worse than the Obama deal. More leeway, more money, more stupidity from the west, another administration that has not a clue how to deal with Islamic dreams of a caliphate.

To those claiming: "The parties in Gaza over the last few days? They're small and limited — it's just the camera angle that makes them look massive." Here are additional angles.

From the massive parties in GAZA over the last few days. Just one of thousands of videos that heavily clash with the "genocide" narrative the mainstream media constantly tries to feed us.

Turkish soldiers entered her home. She was tortured. Then she was raped by multiple soldiers. She heard shit firing but didn’t know what was going on. When they were done, she went to see what had happened and all the people in her house had been killed. Her brother’s head had been cut off. Her father was shot. Her grandfather, her stepmom were faced down on the couch. The soldiers took her to another house where they started raping her again. This is what the turks did when they invaded Cyprus. Does it sound familiar? x.com/TheocharousH/status/18…

On This Day — June 10, 1977 Just three decades after the Holocaust — when the world closed its doors and left Jews to die on sinking ships and in sealed trains — the State of Israel rescued 66 Vietnamese refugees drifting helplessly in the South China Sea and made them citizens. For the first time in nearly 2,000 years of exile and powerlessness, the Jewish people had sovereignty … and they chose to use it to save strangers. In the middle of the vast ocean, a leaking wooden boat carried 66 terrified men, women, and children with no food, no water, and failing SOS signals ignored by ships from East Germany, Norway, Japan, and Panama. Death was closing in. The Israeli cargo ship Yuvali, en route to Taiwan, spotted them. Captain Meir Tadmor radioed Haifa for instructions. Prime Minister Menachem Begin personally gave permission, and the Jewish crew took every soul aboard, fed them, clothed them, and diverted their voyage — sailing home to Israel. When the ship arrived, Begin — whose parents and brother were murdered in the Holocaust — stood before the Knesset and declared with deep emotion: “We Jews know what it is to be refugees. We know the agony of wandering the seas while the world looks away. For the first time in two millennia, we are no longer powerless wanderers. We are a sovereign nation — and therefore it is natural for us to give these people a haven in the Land of Israel.” This first group of 66 was only the beginning. Between 1977 and 1979, tiny Israel — still absorbing its own Jewish refugees from Arab lands and the Soviet Union — welcomed more than 300 Vietnamese boat people in total, granting them full citizenship and a new life. Many of these Vietnamese-Israelis went on to build beautiful, fully integrated lives in the Jewish state. Their children grew up speaking Hebrew, served in the IDF, started families with Israeli spouses, and thrived in professions ranging from business and policing to the restaurant industry — becoming a small but vibrant thread in the tapestry of Israeli society. This was not politics. This was the Jewish soul speaking. After centuries of being the stranger, the outcast, the one no empire would shelter … the Jewish people were finally the ones with the power to open their gates. And they chose to remember.

Torah Study bill turns holiness into a bargaining chip | The Jerusalem Post jpost.com/opinion/article-89… These are my heroes: "The bill passed on Wednesday in its preliminary reading by 56 votes to 43. Likud MKs Dan Illouz and Yuli Edelstein, New Hope MK Sharren Haskel, and Religious Zionist Party MK Moshe Solomon broke ranks and voted against it." Shame on Bibi for attempting to legalize draft evasion & for equating Torah study to our people in uniform risking their lives protecting & serving our nation.

Aramaic Tombstone of Hasadiah the Priest Zoar, southern Dead Sea, Jordan. Dated to 514 CE (445 years since the destruction of the temple): "May the soul of Hasadiah the Priest son of Dematin rest, who died on Thunsda the fifth of Av, in the fourth year of the sabbatical cycle, which is the year four hundred and forty-five after the destruction of the Temple. Peace on Israel. Peace”

You thought that the globalize the Intifada crowd would stop at Synagogues and Jewish school? You didn't think they would destroy cabs at a Knicks game? Think again.

3 years ago, an "American" Youtube channel pops up attacking me. Odd. America loves Nas Daily. Today, @EllaTravelsLove investigation shows this channel is based in Qatar. When will the West wake up.

Excellent from @LordIanAustin on yet ANOTHER debate on the evils of Israel: As he says: ‘Over the last few years, Parliament has discussed Israel more than any other issue, not just any international issue, more than any domestic issue: more than the economy, unemployment, crime, the NHS. ‘The public out there look at Parliament and think this is utterly mad, utterly, utterly mad.’ Lord Ian blames Parliament for helping fuel antisemitism adding: ‘Does Parliament not understand that singling out the world's only Jewish state, holding its standards not applied to anywhere else, falsely accusing Israel of committing these terrible crimes? ‘This is bound to drive hostility towards people who are identified with Israel, which is the vast majority of the Jewish community, and I have to say this is why I believe Parliament is playing a large role in driving the explosion of anti-Semitism that we've seen on the streets of Britain.’

"Please do not think this is another fad that will pass — it would be a lethal mistake." A student asked Ayaan Hirsi Ali whether the rise in antisemitism is a passing trend like others before it. Her answer is one every Jewish community and every defender of Western values needs to hear. Antisemitism is not fading. It is not a moment. And hoping it will be forgotten by the mainstream is not a strategy.
