State of Tel Aviv

Also Zikim Beach. A memorial path remembering the 18 men and women, aged 17-72, who were murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7 who attacked from the sea. People who came for the sunrise. To fish. To swim. Slaughtered. Everything has been razed and scrubbed. And rebuilt.

You are so full of crap @MarkJCarney Turkey. A real economic powerhouse. Super sophisticated economy. What’s the per capita GDP? You crap on the US and grovel to Turkey. Genius.

All the “leftist anarchists” are gathering in @stateoftlv to show support for election of a new govt in 🇮🇱 on Tuesday….that will support a State Commission of Inquiry. @OctoberCouncil makes it happen. 🔥 We will never forget. Never.

October 7, 2026 Thoughts on survival, guilt, hatred and hope. @StateofTLV open.substack.com/pub/stateo…

You are not being truthful @MarkJCarney It’s remarkable how you can speak so detachedly about the manner in which you have thrown Canadian Jews to the wolves. You say that all your brilliant new legislation will give your government the tools it needs to properly manage rampant, unchecked Jew hatred. But you know that is not true. There are plenty of laws on the books that your government seems to prefer not to enforce. It’s only when 🇨🇦 was seen and remarked upon as a disgrace internationally….as one of the most robust Jew hating western countries in the world…..that you turned to your bureaucrats and pretended that porous legislation was the problem. It’s not. You and your views and policies are the problem. Your contempt for the state of Israel is a problem. Your adulation for and fawning over Qatar. The PA…..those are problems. Your clear signals that there’s nothing wrong in how 🇨🇦 handles its “Jewish question.” Your fixation on pretending that Jews are harassed, perhaps, at synagogues but seeming to think that going to and from synagogue was the beginning and end of the issue. Your twisted compulsion to constantly slip in “Islamophobia” whenever Jew hatred comes up. Your refusal to comprehend or articulate that the anti Zionism so prevalent in your caucus and emboldened throughout Canada….your refusal to say it: Antizionism….is antisemitism. Period. And saying so does not mean that the Govt of 🇮🇱 is immune from criticism. Don’t worry, Mark. We all know how much you get off on pillorying 🇮🇱. You can still do that. And you fooled no one with your shameful theatrics at Holy Blossom. Whoever is advising you on comms sucks. YOU APPOINTED OMAR ALGHABRA TO A COMMITTEE MEANT TO MONITOR AND ADDRESS JEW HATRED!!!! How stupid do you think we are?!? Oh. And of course…..your court Jew. There’s always one prepared to sell out his people. Wondering if they’ve managed to hold a second meeting yet, that crew. I mean…they sure don’t seem to feel any urgency. Stop the BS, Mark. Much better to own the views you espouse. We all remember your Calgary shout out well….you know…..that time when you pretended you couldn’t hear well? When you jocularly agreed with the “G” accusation? “Thank you, Diana…..I’m well aware.” Wink wink. You may have your issues with Israel and Jews, Mark. But we’re pretty smart. And resourceful. Just ask the plumber. You know. On Fly Dubai. Oh. And before I go…..we’d all love an update on how the election planning by Abbas and the PA is going. Remember? You recognized the State of Palestine in a hurry…..cuz you and Abu Mazen sorted out all the issues in the conflict in a one hour call. Well….???

Did @piersmorgan read the @IDF report on “journalists” in Gaza doubling as Hamas and PIJ operatives? 🤷‍♀️ But didn’t stop him from trashing it. @jconricus has harsh words for Piers and suggests he “take a pause” and think before lashing out. Full podcast out soon on @StateofTLV

My latest: On the Belleville synagogue shooting in 🇨🇦. There is a direct link between the freedom given to the “Free Palestine” activists in 🇨🇦 to incite hatred and violence targeting Jews…and what happened in Belleville. And this has become the new normal in 🇨🇦. Shooting up of Jewish schools, synagogues…? Pretty regular now. Incitement of hatred targeting Jewish community centres? Businesses? Neighbourhoods? No big deal. Law enforcement and PM @MarkJCarney encourage and embolden Jew hatred by doing nothing to stop it. Belleville was an attack on Jews going to synagogue services. It was not an attack on 🇮🇱 PS: Bots, anonymous accounts and haters will be blocked. Take your toxicity elsewhere. nationalpost.com/opinion/bel…
