Let's make this clear. Judea and Samaria are historically Jewish land. In 1947 the UN offered it to local Arabs for their own state. The local Arabs said no. From 1948-67 Jordan illegally occupied it. In 1967 Israel recaptured it. It's been under Jewish control ever since.

🇮🇱 I am proud to be a Jew. 🇮🇱 I am proud to be an Israeli. 🇮🇱 I am proud to live in Judea & Samaria. 🇮🇱 I am proud to be a Zionist. We are living in the greatest renaissance of the Jewish people in 2,000 years. I am blessed to be living at this time & I couldn't be happier.

Yesterday, my friend and Israeli hero, Kay Wilson ( @kishkushkay ) posted a picture of the stab wounds she received from a Palestinian Arab terrorist. @Twitter locked her account! Twitter will allow terrorists to spew their hatred all day here, but they silence their victims.

One of the most frequent questions I receive from my students is why U.S. Congresspeople are overwhelmingly (90%+) Pro-Israel. I explain we present logic against the other side's lies. Watch @RepRitchie demonstrate the truth of Israel's position vs. the lies of the Palestinians.

For all you two state solution advocates out there, you’re about to get a free preview of what a “free” and “independent” Palestine will look like. Turn your viewers towards Afghanistan and see your dreams come true.

I had a fascinating lunch yesterday with an Israeli hero. He's part of a unit in the Israeli army that hunts down terrorists and participated in the hunt and capture of the terrorist that attacked our daughter Naomi. I took him to lunch to say thank you for his efforts.

Aliza and I met Naomi at the hospital, saw the wound wasn’t serious, and waited while she was interviewed by doctors, Shabak, the police, social workers, and psychologists. After 6 hours Naomi was released and we drove home, thankful that Naomi was OK. 4/19

Israelis are people. They deserve peace. They deserve respect. They deserve self-determination. These should not be controversial statements.

Jesus and his mother Mary were Jews. This is a well-known fact. If Jesus and his mother were to travel to Bethlehem today, they would encounter a sign that forbids Jews from entering Palestinian controlled cities out of safety for their lives.

You can knock us down. You can wound us. You can even kill us. You will never end us. We will continue. We will succeed. We will defeat our enemies. Tonight is Ari Fuld’s daughter’s wedding. Ari's memory lives on alive and well. Tonight we win! Photo credit: @HilzFuld

At dinner each member of our family spoke about what they were grateful for that day. Naomi’s words of being grateful for a supportive family really came home for all of us. Each of her parents and siblings quickly realized that just being ourselves was a big help to Naomi. 6/19

Abu Jihad was a terrorist that was responsible for terrorism that killed 175 Jews, including the Israeli Olympic team in Munich. A university in Jericho, a city 7 minutes away from me, just named a wing after him. What message is the university sending its students & residents?

*) Today could’ve been much worse. A nail flying an inch or two higher or lower and I’d have been sitting shiva tonight instead of offering thanks at a celebratory dinner. I’m grateful I’m celebrating instead of mourning tonight. 11/19

As she approached the stop, a Palestinian terrorist detonated a bomb packed with nails and other shrapnel. One of the pieces flew at Naomi, hitting her, but not seriously. She felt ringing in her ears but wasn’t hurt. 2/19
