BREAKING: Hamas is demanding that Israel return the bodies of Yahya and Mohammed Sinwar as part of the Trump deal.

For a group claiming thereโ€™s a genocide, they sure are taking their time in negotiations.

The truth is Hamas only cares about Hamas. Palestinians always come last.

Shlomo was one of the founders of Nahal Oz. He worked as a locksmith and was deeply involved in the kibbutzโ€™s cultural life as an actor and singer.

His heroism, love, and selfless courage will never be forgotten. May his memory forever be a blessing.

The terrorists shot him on sight but left the rest of the house untouched, believing it was empty.

Thanks to his sacrifice and courage, his loved ones remained safe in the shelter for hours until they were rescued.

Shlomo Ron, 85, was murdered by Hamas in his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7.

During the attack, his wife, two daughters, and grandson hid in the safe room. Without hesitation, Shlomo went out and calmly sat in his easy chair in the living room.

Because of Hamas, she has been dead for longer than she was ever alive. And that is a tragedy beyond words.

May her memory be a blessing.

Mila Cohen z"l, at just 9 months old, was one of the youngest victims of October 7th.

She was shot to death in her mother's arms.

Because of Hamas, she never saw her first birthday. She never got to go to school or make friends.

UNBELIEVABLE: In a post about Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, Greta Thunberg included a photo of hostage Evyatar David from a propaganda video published by Hamas.

Their evidence of Israelโ€™s crimes is literally footage of the crimes committed against us.

Celebrating October 7 is no different from celebrating 9/11 every year on its anniversary while cheering for Al-Qaeda to kill more Americans.

Rather than being a day of mourning and a stand against terrorism, far too many are turning October 7 into a global day of antisemitism.

Itโ€™s October 7 again.

2 years.
24 months.
732 days.
17,568 hours.

48 hostages havenโ€™t seen the sun in 2 years.
They havenโ€™t been fed properly in 24 months.
They havenโ€™t been hugged by their families in 732 days.
They havenโ€™t felt safe in 17,568 hours.

BRING THEM HOME๐ŸŽ—๏ธ

The families of the hostages should be spending their time with loved ones.

Instead, they are gathered outside of the Prime Minister's house, begging for their loved ones to come home.

They aren't counting their blessings; they are praying for a miracle.

On Sukkot, we hold the four plants โ€” the palm, the myrtle, the willow, and the etrog.

Each plant is rooted in the land of Israel and represents one of its four corners.

Thousands of years later, our hands continue to lift them in joy, just as our ancestors did before us.

Everything Hamas tried to erase vanished in one day: the warmth, laughter, a babyโ€™s red curls.

The house is still there. They arenโ€™t.

Read it. Remember them.

Never forget.

Tomorrow marks two years since October 7.

Feels like yesterday โ€” but hereโ€™s the reality.

Yarden Bibas writes about Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel โ€” his family, his world.

Jews are indigenous to Israel because it is our ancient homeland, the birthplace of our nation, and where the bodies of our ancestors remain.

Jews have a sacred relationship to our homeland like any other tribe.

06.10.2025 17:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 35    ๐Ÿ” 4    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 5    ๐Ÿ“Œ 2

Jewish holidays, especially land-focused ones like Sukkot, resemble those of other indigenous cultures.

We orient ourselves toward sacred directions (Israel), pray in the language of our ancestors (Hebrew), and wave native plants (four species) to the 6 directions of the wind.

06.10.2025 17:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 28    ๐Ÿ” 3    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

Like all indigenous people, Jews have rituals for giving thanks for the food, land, knowledge, and other gifts from our Creator.

Jews welcoming the โ€œangels of peaceโ€ to our homes every Friday or Elijah on Passover resembles native rituals of welcoming spirits or ancestors.

06.10.2025 17:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 24    ๐Ÿ” 3    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

Jews are an indigenous people.

This is because we are an ethnic group with a land-based agricultural religion that revolves around our
ancestral lands.

We've also kept a culture distinct from dominant society, despite being conquered by empires.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he would support a German boycott of the Eurovision if they decide to exclude Israel: โ€œI think it's a scandal that this is even being discussed. Israel belongs there," Merz said.

After days of violent Free Palestine protests in Paris, the pro-Israel crowd answered today with a peaceful march, chanting โ€œRelease the hostages.โ€

We wonโ€™t whisper, we wonโ€™t look down, and we wonโ€™t hide who we are.

Violent protests erupted yesterday in Barcelona, Spain ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ, where the Free Palestine crowd once again used Gaza as an excuse to destroy everything.

This hateful movement does nothing to help Palestinians. It only spreads chaos and fuels violence, especially against Jews.

The US agreed to the end-of-war plan. Israel agreed. Qatar and other Arab countries agreed. So why hasnโ€™t Hamas?

If Palestinians are dying in a โ€˜genocideโ€™ as Hamas claims, they should be the first to want to end the war. Not the last.

In Luxembourg ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ, Andy, a 10-year-old Jewish boy, was violently attacked at his school by four students.

His mother recounted: โ€œThey pinned him to the floor, beat him, and shouted that he is a โ€˜stupid, whiny Israeli.โ€™โ€

Luxembourg, France, UKโ€ฆ When will it finally be enough?

Unofficially at 3am Israel time, the IDF has begun a unilateral ceasefire and paused most of its military activities in Gaza.

20% of Israelโ€™s population is Arab.

The only Jews in Gaza are our 48 hostages. And we want them back.

On Yom Kippurโ€” the holiest day for Jewsโ€” a synagogue in Manchester became a crime scene.

Two murdered, more injured.

This is what happens when hate is normalised, when Jew-haters are allowed to roam free.

It has to stop.

BREAKING: Hamas says it needs 2-3 more days to look over the ceasefire deal.

Meanwhile, Trump signs an executive order saying the US will defend Qatar in the case of future attacks.

The global Sumud flotilla will reach Israel on Yom Kippur.

So, if they stage another hunger strike, does that count as fasting?

After all, they do have a lot to ask forgiveness forโ€ฆ

01.10.2025 11:04 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 58    ๐Ÿ” 6    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 7    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The Global Sumud Flotilla is
peaceful, but theyโ€™re funded by Hamas.

Theyโ€™re peaceful, but they support the Oct 7 massacre.

Theyโ€™re peaceful, but they never demanded the release of hostages.

Theyโ€™re peaceful, yet, unsurprisingly, they plan to reach Israel on Yom Kippur, our most sacred holiday.
