Unlike other #Israel haters like Mark Ruffalo and John Cusack, @JohnCleese is actually coming here Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to perform. Perplexing. @Jerusalem_Post
John Cleese's post on social media revealed that the British pundit has a negative image of Israel and zionism, even if he has an enormous fanbase in Israel. ✍️ @davidbjpost

It's nice that the new NYC mayor is vowing to protect its Jewish residents. But approximately 66% of them believe that Israel as a Jewish state deserves to exist, that the IDF training NYPD is a good thing, and that Israel is not genocidal. Eventually, those views will collide.

It used to be band members would bicker over lyrics or hogging the solos. Nowadays, it's about #Israel. #Radiohead @Jerusalem_Post

Rockets from Yemen, ultra-Orthodox riots, but at #Malka by #EyalShani in #TelAviv, the warm kosher food and the celebratory #Israeli vibe make you think everything is fine. @Jerusalem_Post

At Malka, celebrity chef Eyal Shani’s kosher restaurant in Tel Aviv, patrons and staff alike were partying as if we lived in a normal country.

As Israel rejoices in the return of the remaining living hostages, one important question looms: what about the internal problems that existed long before October 7? | Comment by David Brinn https://t.co/Eq29qbdNpo

Exactly what shouldn't have happened. A split screen, with Trump's arrival in #Israel cutting into the drama and joy of the return of the hostages. @Jerusalem_Post

#Israel's main TV channel breaks away from #Trump's arrival to broadcast hostage Elhanan Bohbot talk on video phone with his mother for the first time in 2 years. Priorities! @Jerusalem_Post

Hamas is the only army in the world that wears civilian clothes during war and puts on uniforms during ceasefires.

Bringing the cult of #Trump to #Israel on the day the hostages come home. Who needs it? @Jerusalem_Post

His frequent meetings with hostage families and released hostages and his frequent referral to "our hostages" reinforced that, despite his narcissistic tendencies, he did show empathy to their plight.

My initial thoughts on the deal. There’s no phase two. That's clear to everyone, right? Phase two might happen someday, but it’s unrelated to what’s just been signed. The deal signed now is a hostage release deal. It doesn’t imply anything about the future. Theoretically,

The attempted #genocide of the Israeli people by #hamas is coming to an end. The hostages are coming home. @Jerusalem_Post

Besides being nasty, the campaign against @AmbDermer is simply wrong. Ron Dermer is, in many ways, the embodiment of what Zionism was meant to be: a Jew from the Diaspora who chose to make Israel his home, who raised his family here, and who has devoted his life to serving this

The plan unveiled by Trump and embraced by Jerusalem on Monday could indeed signify a new dawn for the Middle East, one of peace, prosperity, and security for all the peoples of the region.

Netanyahu: Israel will not allow you to shove a terror state down our throats. We will not commit national suicide because you don't have the guts to face down a hostile media and antisemitic mobs demanding Israel's blood.

Israeli PM @netanyahu saying loudspeakers were placed surrounding Gaza as he spoke directly to the hostages and Hamas. This as dozens of delegates from UN countries walk out of the UNGA.
