Dear @nytimes : On behalf of shareholders we are demanding the records. Not to debate your politics. To see whether the Board did its job while the company’s credibility, reputation, and exposure were put at risk. You told the public there was nothing to see. Let's find out.

Part 2 on the @marklevinshow, answering the question too many people pretend not to understand: “What is a Zionist?”

A while ago, I watched the infamous 47-minute video documenting the atrocities of October 7th — the one not made publicly available, to protect the privacy of the victims. The worst part of this video is not what it displays, but who is displaying it: the perpetrators themselves. Gleefully. Sadistically. Unabashedly. Most of the footage was filmed by Hamas terrorists on their GoPro bodycams, some also by ordinary Gazan civilians on their cellphones. Even the Nazis tried to cover up their atrocities, but Hamas brags about theirs for the entire world to see. The killers are euphoric throughout the massacre, and their relentless, ecstatic cries of "Allahu Akbar" (punctuated by the occasional "Kill the Jew!") are simply nauseating. Some images are seared into my memory forever. I will never forget the two boys in their underwear — one with his eye socket hanging out of his face — asking his brother whether he thinks they're going to die, while the Hamas monster who had just thrown a grenade in their saferoom helps himself to a drink from their fridge, taking a casual break from the slaughter. Neither will I ever forget the terrorists playing football with a severed head. Or the Thai migrant worker whose head is viciously hacked off with a garden hoe — another "Zionist colonizer" getting what he deserved, right?quillette.substack.com/p/wha… Or the throngs of Gazans crowding around pickup trucks loaded with the mutilated corpses of Jewish women, filming and spitting on the bodies. Or the woman in Kibbutz Mefalsim, crouching and begging in vain for mercy. There is some evidence of sexual violence in the video — the charred corpse of a young woman with her legs splayed and her genitals exposed — but not much. Apparently even Hamas draws a line somewhere: they are not as proud of raping Jewish women as they are of murdering them. Or, more likely, they simply didn't want to embarrass the delicate sensibilities of their legions of useful idiots in the West. But yes — there was rape. Not "rape" in scare quotes, as the apologists would have it, but sadistic, murderous sexual violence, documented in a new damning new report by The Civil Commission, an independent Israeli women's rights NGO. (video summary here: youtube.com/watch?v=K7fJuzr4…) Across its 180 pages, the report describes "a recurring pattern of rape and gang rape; sexual torture; mutilation; targeted shooting to the face, head and genital area; forced nudity; binding and restraint; genital burning; objects inserted into intimate areas; post-mortem sexual humiliation; and execution during or after sexual assault." And it was premeditated and organized. The terrorists crossing into Israel carried printed Arabic-to-Hebrew phrasebooks with handy expressions like "take off your pants," "lie down," "spread your legs," and "don't make trouble." I wonder why they expected to need those particular phrases? I know one thing: no civilized country on earth would tolerate the existence of an organization like Hamas on its border after October 7th. Not one. This includes every self-righteous Westerner currently lecturing Israel from thousands of kilometres away, without an inch of skin in the game. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

This Shabbat, in synagogues, we will pray for the safety of IDF soldiers and for the safety of U.S. soldiers. 🇮🇱🙏🇺🇸 The fighters of the United States are fighting shoulder to shoulder with us, with great devotion, to save the State of Israel and for the peace of the entire world. We will pray for their success and safety at the time of taking out the Torah scrolls in synagogues — that the Master of the Universe grant them success, that not a single hair on their heads be harmed. Amen! >> May He who blessed our ancestors — Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — bless the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces **and our brave friends, the soldiers of the United States Armed Forces.** They stand guard over our land and the cities of our God, from the border of Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea to the approach of the Arava, and in every place they are — on land, in the air, and at sea. May the Lord cause our enemies who rise against us to be struck down before them! May the Holy One, blessed be He, protect them and save them from every trouble and distress, from every plague and illness, and send blessing and success in all the work of their hands. May He subdue our foes beneath them, and crown them with the crown of salvation and the wreath of victory. And may it be fulfilled in them, as it is written: “For the Lord your God goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.” And let us say: Amen.

Fascinating. Not just because he’s my hubby

A "doctor" from Gaza who wrote multiple op-eds demonizing Israel for the NY Times is, and you'll never believe this, a Hamas colonel who has been spotted in military uniform. Maybe he just does terrorism on the side?

Qatar has spent nearly $100 billion to buy influence in the U.S.—in Congress, universities, media outlets, think tanks, and corporations. Here’s where the money goes, and what it buys.

BREAKING: Haaretz newspaper has fired a journalist after it was revealed that he was being paid 200,000 shekels from Qatar.

⚠️Warning: Distressing details about hostages: ⚠️ New, horrifying details have emerged about the two years in captivity of Elkana Bohbot and Avinatan Or, who were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from the Nova Music Festival on October 7, 2023. Both men endured unimaginable suffering in Gaza. A THREAD 🧵:

It doesn't matter what time zone you're in. The Jewish world isn't sleeping a second tonight. They're finally coming home 🎗️

Today, we should all be grateful to the men and women of the IDF who made this day happen. Without the 915 fallen soldiers and the tens of thousands of people who left their normal lives, careers and families to protect Israel and put deadly pressure on Hamas (and Hezbollah and Iran) we would not be getting the hostages back today. They deserve more of our attention and appreciation today.

When Israelis open their iPhone today, instead of the service provider’s name in the upper right hand corner, it says “WelcomeHome.” God how I love this country.

"Nova Café" - in Gaza. Yes, you read that right. While decent people are still mourning the 378 people butchered at the Nova music festival, Palestinians in Gaza are opening a restaurant celebrating the massacre. Gazans are perpetuating hate, commercializing horror, glorifying terror and erasing humanity. israelhayom.com/2025/10/12/c…
