“At 18, you were asked to protect a nation. At 20, you faced decisions that would shape lives, and now, into your 20s you are leaders, role models, and educators.”

A powerful message at the Graduation of Israeli StandWithUs Fellows in Jerusalem, from Executive Director, Michael Dickson. @michaeldickson

Boycotting Israel so hard you can't see through the fog. Literally! ✈️🌫️

In what may be the most ironic consequence of Ireland's anti-Israel stance, the Irish government's brand new €53 million Dassault Falcon 6X jet - used to transport the Taoiseach and senior ministers - was ordered without a key navigational landing system because it is made by Israeli company Elbit Systems.

The FalconEye system, which normally sits on the plane's nose and helps it land safely in fog and low-visibility conditions, was deliberately excluded after Irish procurement officials determined that entering into a written agreement with an Israeli company was "a step too far for the Irish State." The result: Ireland's most senior government officials may now be unable to land safely in bad weather - a direct consequence of prioritizing a political boycott over basic aviation safety. Boycotting Israeli technology has consequences.

Em entrevista ao jornalista britânico Piers Morgan, o porta-voz do grupo terrorista Hamas, Ghazi Hamad, evitou se comprometer a respeito do desarmamento do grupo que controla a Faixa de Gaza.

Questionado sobre se o acordo coordenado pela administração norte-americana de Donald Trump levaria o Hamas a entregar suas armas, Hamad afirmou que o grupo aceitou o acordo por “necessidade”, diante das circunstâncias na Faixa de Gaza. Mas deixou claro que sua “mentalidade” e seus objetivos não mudaram.

Segundo ele, “resistir à ocupação” segue sendo a “missão sagrada” do Hamas. Hamad também disse que o grupo pode usar “táticas, ferramentas e métodos diferentes”, mas afirmou que continuará lutando ao lado de outras facções palestinas.

A fala é importante porque expõe o ponto central: não basta falar em transferência de poder ou em novo arranjo administrativo na Faixa de Gaza se o Hamas não aceitar se desarmar, abandonar o terrorismo e deixar de controlar, direta ou indiretamente, a vida dos palestinos.

O próprio porta-voz do Hamas disse: o acordo pode mudar o método. Não necessariamente muda o objetivo.

🚨ACTION ALERT🚨
Thank Boy George for standing with the Jewish community.

After releasing "We Will Dance Again" - a tribute to the victims of the Nova music festival massacre on October 7, 2023 - and stepping down from a West End role amid backlash, Boy George issued a defiant statement defending his decision to stand with the Jewish community.

"Those who deny the suffering of Israelis are given a free pass," he wrote, pushing back against accusations that he lacks compassion for Palestinians. He explained that the song was inspired by a visit to the Nova Exhibition in London, where he met the parents of British-Israeli musician Jake Marlowe, who was murdered in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. "The Nova Festival is a mirror of my world as a DJ. I could have been there." He also revealed that his record label manager walked out over the song - and that he cut ties with him immediately. "When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. The truth will always win." In a world where too many artists stay silent, Boy George chose to speak. Let’s send him some love and support. @BoyGeorge

No debate do podcast Levante gravado ao Vivo em Salvador, o presidente-executivo da StandWithUs Brasil, André Lajst, explicou que o slogan "Palestina Livre" tem origem em uma expressão em árabe que fazia referência ao território entre o Rio Jordão e o Mar Mediterrâneo. Nas décadas de 1930 e 1940, a frase dizia que "de água a água, a Palestina será árabe". Com o avanço do islamismo radical, a formulação passou a ser utilizada por lideranças do Hamas como "de água a água, a Palestina será islâmica", mantendo a referência ao mesmo território.

A adaptação para o inglês transformou a frase em "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free", expressão que ganhou ampla difusão internacional. Nesse contexto, o slogan ainda se refere ao espaço compreendido entre o Jordão e o Mediterrâneo, mas também rejeitando a existência de Israel como Estado nacional do povo judeu. A versão defendida pelo Hamas, inclusive, também exclui aqueles que não se enquadram nessa visão, incluindo os próprios palestinos que são cristãos.

Assista e entenda.

After two firefighting helicopters collided west of Athens, Greece, on Sunday, killing two crew members, an Israeli company called Ciconia is drawing attention for technology that could help prevent exactly this kind of tragedy. Ciconia's decentralized collision avoidance system shares real-time flight path data between all participating aircraft - helicopters, planes, and drones - providing instant collision warnings and evasive maneuver instructions without relying on centralized air traffic control. The system has already been tested on Israeli Air Force Black Hawks and received positive feedback from pilots. Now Ciconia is taking it to America - demonstrating the technology in Texas and preparing for a pilot program with firefighters in California's San Bernardino County, in partnership with Qualcomm.

As wildfires grow more frequent and aerial firefighting operations become more complex, Israeli innovation is once again offering solutions where the world needs them most.

When Jewish DJ Barbara Butch took the stage at a music festival in Grenoble, France, far-left protesters began waving signs, hurling glass bottles, and harassing her until she was forced to leave after just 20 minutes. Her crime? Being Jewish, having relatives in Israel, and performing at Tel Aviv Pride.

The incident has shaken France, sparking a criminal investigation, a parliamentary debate, and urgent government directives toughening enforcement against those who censor artists through violence. French Culture Minister met with Butch and condemned the attack. Butch herself wrote in Le Monde: "Anti-Zionism used in Grenoble was only a disguise for antisemitism. Singling out people from a certain minority for attack because of their origin has nothing to do with democratic debate."

RT @michaeldickson: Today, Ariel would be 7 years old.
But when he was 4, Hamas terrorists together with ordinary civilians from Gaza stole him, his baby brother and his mother from their family.
They strangled him to death and mutilated his body.

Rest well, beautiful boy. 🧡 https://t.co/8UrkcMnnsJ

RT @afalkhatib: The Great Gaza Scam; Just Listen to Hamas: What you’re seeing in this video is the plain truth, even though it’s coming from slain Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh. I was directly involved in one of the efforts he’s indirectly referring to. This is a confession from a jihadist organization responsible for immense harm, acknowledging that Gaza’s blockade & conditions were not because Israel was hell‑bent on blocking development. Israel became the lazy, convenient explanation & excuse for people unwilling to look beneath the surface and understand what actually happened in Gaza over the last twenty years.

Here, the head of Hamas admits there were real offers on the table: an airport, a seaport, new industries, major cash infusions – opportunities dating back to 2014. Former Israeli officials like Shaul Mofaz floated plans to raise tens of billions for Gaza’s development, and large parts of Israel’s security establishment were open to letting Gaza grow and prosper. Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Western governments were prepared to invest serious money, far beyond just humanitarian aid.

In 2015, I launched a multi‑year effort to build an internationally run, Israeli‑approved airport in al‑Mawasi, southern Gaza Strip. The proposal drew intrigue from senior Israeli officials, including Herzi Halevi and Avigdor Lieberman. In 2017, through intermediaries, I even appealed directly to Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’s former chief and architect of October 7, urging him to consider the airport proposal and think strategically about Gaza’s future.

So, what was the price that Israel and the world wanted in exchange for all of this?

As Haniyeh states in this video, the price was Gaza’s disarmament and demilitarization so that it wouldn’t be dragged into endless, self‑destructive wars. Hamas was offered a dignified off‑ramp: integrating its employees and former fighters into civilian police, receiving salaries, and shifting toward nation‑building instead of terrorism. That offer was real, with a political pathway for the group.

After October 7, and Gaza’s vast destruction, tens of thousands killed, and $ billions wasted, Hamas is forcibly entertaining disarmament and demilitarization. This video exposes the “resistance” cheerleaders who celebrated October 7 and the Westerners who insist Gaza could never have developed because of Israel. Listen to Hamas; whether you support them or think they are useful idiots, Gaza’s development was blocked because the terror Islamist group turned the territory into a fortress of violence, tunnels, rockets, smuggling, and radicalization. And no, Gaza and the West Bank are not comparable cases. Gaza had a genuine chance to become the crown jewel of the Palestinian people, a truly compelling model of prosperity and self‑rule.

The pathway forward requires introspection, accountability, responsibility, and Palestinian agency.
