I’ve been a Jewish activist for the better part of the last fifteen years. I started because I simply couldn’t stay silent. I knew that it’s not that people simply “didn’t get” Israel. I knew that there was something else, something deeper. A hidden force which was coordinating this slander against the world’s only Jewish state. And then I met @JSchanzer and was exposed to his work with @FDD and I was shocked.
Years ago, Jonathan had uncovered that this vitriol on campuses is a network of professionally coordinated heavily funded campaign by nefarious forces to delegitimize the state of Israel. To prepare the public opinion for the right moment take her down by all means necessary. I quoted Jonathan’s work in my book and have been speaking about this issue all over the country and the world for years, waiting for the right moment when the people will be ready to listen. Yesterday that moment had come.
I was honored to be invited to testify in front of the @WaysandMeansGOP on Capitol Hill about the connection between campus antisemitism and terrorism financing. The members were engaged and listened to us thoroughly for the four hours of the testimony. We have requested that the FBI and IRS will open an investigation into the organizations behind all this campus hate, specifically SJP and AMP. We have requested that SJP to be kicked off of campuses. We are requesting that people take a pause, before reciting a terrorist group’s talking point.
So now the real work begins.
אתמול היה לי הכבוד לתת עדות מול הקונגרס בנושא הקשר בין אנטישמיות בקמפוסים ומימון טרור. אנחנו יודעים מי מאחורי השנאה הזאת ולא נעצור עד שננצח אותם. ישראל חזקה גם בשטח גם מול חמאס וגם בחזית ההסברה.

An emotional, moving and symbolic moment today as we gathered together at the European Parliament in solidarity with the victims of the terrorist attacks in Israel.
There can never be any justification for terrorism.

Personal Thoughts:
(not for everyone, feel free to skip)
For the longest time, I struggled with my identity.
A Palestinian kid born inside Israel. Like…wtf.
Many of my friends refuse to this day to say the word “Israel” and call themselves “Palestinian” only.
But since I was 12, that did not make sense to me.
So I decided to mix the two and become a “Palestinian-Israeli”
I thought this term reflected who I was.
Palestinian first. Israeli second.
But after recent events, I started to think.
And think.
And think.
And then my thoughts turned to anger.
I realized that if Israel were to be “invaded” like that again, we would not be safe. To a terrorist invading Israel, all citizens are targets.
900 Israelis died so far. More than 40 of them are Arabs. Killed by other Arabs. And even 2 Thai people died too.
And I do not want to live under a Palestinian government.
Which means I only have one home, even if I’m not Jewish:
Israel.
That’s where all my family lives. That’s where I grew up. That’s the country I want to see continue to exist so I can exist.
Palestine should exist too as an independent state. And I hope to see the country thrive and become less extreme and more prosperous. I love Palestine and have invested in Palestine.
But it’s not my home.
So from today forward,
I view myself as an “Israeli-Palestinian”.
Israeli first.
Palestinian second.
Sometimes it takes a shock like this to see so clearly.

"Saying I’m both Israeli and Palestinian is an amazing middle finger to anybody that doesn’t like the other country."

The United States, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom will remain united and coordinated – together as allies and as common friends to Israel – to ensure Israel can defend itself.
ALT Today, we — President Macron of France, Chancellor Scholz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Sunak of the United Kingdom, and President Biden of the United States — express our steadfast and united support to the State of Israel, and our unequivocal condemnation of Hamas and its appalling acts of terrorism. We make clear that the terrorist actions of Hamas have no justification, no legitimacy, and must be universally condemned. There is never any justification for terrorism. In recent days, the world has watched in horror as Hamas terrorists massacred families in their homes, slaughtered over 200 young people enjoying a music festival, and kidnapped elderly women, children, and entire families, who are now being held as hostages. Our countries will support Israel in its efforts to defend itself and its people against such atrocities. We further emphasize that this is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage...

During my years in City Hall I visited Sderot after it had come under attack from Hamas to express my solidarity with its citizens.
Today, we stand in solidarity with Sderot and with all Israelis again as they defend themselves from terror and violence.

What is Happening in Israel is Devastating.. Watching all of these families and especially children being herded, assaulted and murdered in the streets is Heartbreaking.
Imagine if this was happening to you??
It’s Un-fathomable.
Conflicts can never be resolved with violence. Unfortunately Humanity does not understand this Universal truth. Has Never Understood it. We live in a World Ravaged by Hate.
My heart goes out to Israel. To Families and Homes that have been destroyed. To children who are lost.
To Innocent Victims who have Been Killed.
To All who are Suffering or who will suffer from this conflict.
Im Praying For you. I am aware that this is the work of Hamas and there are many innocent people in Palestine who do not support this terrorist organization. This Tragic attack will only cause more suffering for everyone
Let us all Pray. For Israel. 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 For Peace. 🤍 For The World.
Idit Harel retweeted
All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
