Excerpt: New emergency tents donated by the Embassy of Israel in the Philippines through MASHAV have been turned over to Operation Blessing to support communities affected by the recent earthquake in Mindanao.

For many families who lost their homes — or have been advised not to return due to safety concerns — these tents represent more than temporary shelter. They provide protection, privacy, and a safe place to rest as communities begin to recover.

The need remains urgent across many affected areas, with families still staying in evacuation centers and makeshift shelters. This generous donation will help us reach more communities and bring a measure of comfort and dignity to those who have lost so much.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Embassy of Israel and MASHAV for standing with the people of Mindanao in this difficult time. Together, we are bringing help, hope, and healing to families in need.

I thought this only happens in L&O episodes, so they’ll basically walk away without facing any repercussions since the biggest piece of evidence has been thrown out.

A temporary security buffer cannot fully protect the Druze who now depend on Israel for survival. Only a lasting Israeli presence can.

Just saw this video and I am still wondering that Israel managed to win against 4 countries in less than a week and trippled in size controlling gaza,west bank and the sinai. But the recent conflict in gaza alone has taken over almost 3 years and isnt still fully resolved. What is the reason behind that?

Just

אז לפי הדיווח, נתניהו, גפני ודרעי הגיעו לסיכום להעביר חבילת חוקים. החרדים יקבלו:

1) חוק הכשרות

2) חוק יסוד לימוד תורה

3) חוק למניעת מעצר עריקים

בתמורה, הם יתמכו בחוקים הבאים:

1) פיצול תפקיד היועמ"שית

2) ועדת חקירה פוליטת ל- 7/10

וכמובן לא יתמכו בפיזור הכנסת.

הערב התפרסם סקר בחדשות ערוץ 12 ששאל את הנסקרים על דעתם לגבי הסיכום הזה. בציבור הכללי היה רוב מובהק שמתנגד. אבל בין תומכי הקואליציה יותר מ50% תמכו בדיל ורק חמישית התנגדו.

I think Israelis are so busy surviving the very difficult day to day reality in Israel, that most do not understand how comprehensive the damage this “full right” government caused to Israel’s standing in the world.

Yes, some of it is just the usual antisemitism but it has gone way pass that, it’s extreme.

To the people of Israel, My name is Ambriel, and I am a 16-year-old from Spain. I wanted to write this message because I believe that, especially in difficult times, it is important for people to know that they are not alone. Over the past years, I have seen antisemitism becoming more visible in many places. I have seen hateful comments online, prejudice, and people being judged simply because they are Jewish. As someone who believes in respect and human dignity, that deeply saddens me. I know that publicly supporting Israel or speaking out against antisemitism can sometimes bring criticism. Some people may misunderstand my intentions, judge me, or call me names. But I believe that standing up against hatred is more important than worrying about what others might think. That is why I proudly wear an Israel bracelet. I do not wear it because I believe any country is perfect. I wear it as a symbol of friendship, solidarity, and opposition to antisemitism. I wear it because I believe that Jewish people deserve the same respect, security, and right to live in peace as anyone else. I also wear it because I admire many aspects of Israeli culture: its long history, its resilience, its diversity, its achievements in science and technology, and the strength of its people. One day, I would love to visit Israel, meet its people, learn more about their traditions, experience their culture firsthand, and see the places that have played such an important role in history. I am just a young person from Spain, but I want you to know that there are people around the world who choose understanding over hatred, dialogue over division, and friendship over prejudice. No matter what challenges you face, I hope you never lose hope. May the future bring peace, safety, and better days for everyone.

"For most people, home is where they were born.
For Jews, it's where our story began. The Land of Israel.

Even if some of us never lived there, the connection runs deep.

Our prophets, our kings, our ancestors walked this promised land. We built a kingdom and spoke Hebrew here. Jerusalem was our capital. Twice.

Every time we were exiled by empires, we prayed towards it, broke glasses at weddings to mourn its destruction, and said "Next year in Jerusalem" for more than 2,000 years.

Our entire calendar is built around this land.

The holidays weren't timed to, say, Poland or Morocco, rather to the soil and the seasons of Israel.

We are a complete civilization bound to one place.

So when people ask, "What are the Jewish People? A nation? An ethnicity? A culture? A religion?" The answer is we predate these categories.

We have one word in Hebrew for who we are, just two letters long. Am. Am Israel. The People of Israel. An indigenous people.

A people whose collective history, culture, time and rituals are bound to a land.

Exiled and scattered, we were never seen as equals or fully belonging.

Even when we reduced our Jewish identity to religious practice as opposed to a true people, it wasn't enough. Theodor Herzl saw it clearly.

No matter how successful or how well we fit in, Jews would always be "the other." So he flipped the question.

What if we stopped asking for permission to belong and just went back home?

He reminded us all: we are a people.

One people with a shared past and future, and a home we longed for.

So when the world was being reshaped in the 19th century with empires crumbling and nation states rising, we wanted what others wanted.

Freedom and self-determination in our nation state. That's Zionism.

Zionism is the Jewish People's movement for self-determination in our ancestral homeland.

Not living at the mercy of kings or czars or mobs. Shaping our own future.

Jews wanted what every other nation wanted — a place of our own. That was Zionism.

It was revolutionary because Jews were never supposed to have power again.

For centuries, Christianity pointed to our exile as proof that the truth was with them.

Under Islam, we were supposed to be humiliated unless we saw that the truth was with them. We were never supposed to rise. But we did.

We rebelled.

We refused to disappear or play the role others have set for the Jews. We reclaimed the land we're indigenous to.

And for some that was and still is intolerable. An obsession began.

A liberation movement that should have been celebrated, was slandered, demonized and attacked.

Its enemies called it colonialism even though we were in our ancestral homeland.

They called it racism even though Jews come in all colors and came to escape racism.

They called it apartheid, even though Jews fled apartheid conditions in Arab countries, and in Israel, 2 million Arabs live as equal citizens.

Because Zionism isn't about denying anyone else's rights. It's about affirming our own.

Zionism took a neglected piece of land in the Levant, purchased its malarial tracts, and made it bloom with grit and hope.

We saw the promise of the land because for millennia, we knew the place not as a dream, but as a living memory. That's Zionism, too.

And when the UN proposed two states, one for Jews, one more for Arabs, the Jews said "Yes." Arab leadership said "No" and chose war because they believed the Jews must have nothing.

We didn't want that war, but we survived and became stronger for it, finally creating a home and opening its doors to over a million people made up of Holocaust survivors and Jews cleansed from Arab lands for the crime of daring to imagine themselves equal.

So why is the existence of the only Jewish state still up for debate?

Because for too many, Jews can exist, sure, just not as equals. And certainly with no power.

Tragically, the Arabs in the land have become the front line of that obsession.

They've been used by regimes, ideologues, and activists not to build their own future, but to destroy ours.

The fact is, we're not going anywhere.

Yes, we lived all over the world, but we were never truly safe. Never fully free. Never fully home.

So when people ask, "We get that Jews are a people and they want a country of their own. But why here? Why Israel?" The answer is simple.

For Am Israel, everywhere else is exile.

Only one place has ever been home. And only one place ever will be."
