Wild 24 hours in tech. @gavinappel and I are covering it all @AmazonWebServices went down last night and the kids went bananas. No @Snapchat . Total internet blackout. While the world rebooted, the business world delivered its own shake-ups: Closures @GreatWrap - sustainable

"HEY JEW" This has probably been shared a bazillion times. But it's still not enough. Every time Roy said something I wanted to write down, he said something that topped it. One of the best things you'll see. Period. ✡️IG roy_kornblum

I always say Israel is losing the PR war, but have a read at this...……. Mitch Schneider October 10 at 12:09 PM “I keep hearing that Israel "lost the PR war." And you know what? Fine. Sure. Whatever. The world thinks we're monsters. The UN passed over 30 resolutions

NEW HORRIFIC DETAILS ON ALON OHEL’S CAPTIVITY: - Alon Ohel was kept in the same tunnel for almost the entire two years. - Like all other hostages, he was starved, deprived of water, and denied basic hygiene. - He didn’t see the sun for nearly his entire captivity. - He was

Avinatan Or was held alone for 2 years and starved by Hamas monsters, lost 30-40 kg of his weight. His @nvidia boss writes with humor: "I hope you have good excuse for not showing up to work for 738 days." For 2 years NVDIA global CEO mentioned Avinatan's name every meeting.

Noa and Avinatan, reunited 💛

As of 10:52am, October 13, 2025, there are no more living Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip.

Trump in the Knesset: "This is my great honor — a great and beautiful day. A new beginning."

“And the children shall return to their own borders.” With thanks to God we welcome our loved ones home. We are waiting for everyone — every last one. 🎗

As we hold our breath awaiting the hostages’ return, the facts of the past two years are clear to any decent person, and this is what history will remember: 1. On October 7th, 2023 thousands of Hamas terrorists attacked peaceful Israeli communities and burned, raped and murdered

Listen to the cheer the moment it's announced that 7 hostages are now in the hands of the IDF and on their way home to Israel 🥹💙

If you ever needed an example of what makes Israel so special, it’s right now: at Hostage Square, the Nova site, the Western Wall, and in homes across the country, people are praying, watching, holding their breath, and waiting to celebrate as the hostages finally cross back into

When Israel went into Gaza Strip, Hamas hid underground. When Israel left, Hamas came out and started killing Palestinians. And mainstream media calls Hamas "resistance."

An entire nation is holding its breath right now.

At Hostage Square tonight, people are singing “Shalom Aleinu”, the iconic song about how “Peace will come upon us yet, and upon everyone”. It is testament to what makes our people unbreakable. Even after everything, we still choose hope. We still sing of peace.

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.

Israel is freeing blood-soaked terrorists just to bring home civilians kidnapped by Hamas. We trade killers for innocents. Because we love life. They love death. Stop pretending there’s any comparison. There is none.

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

If the “Ceasefire Now” crowd is not celebrating this ceasefire, maybe it was never a ceasefire they wanted all along.
