The only real question, as Anshel Pfeffer אנשיל פפר asks is whether he's the worst Jewish leader since Moses. On that front, his major competitors are Achav, Herod, Shabetai Tzvi...that might be it.

💥Nadav Argaman, Shin Bet director from 2016-2021, issues the starkest warning yet about PM Netanyahu's 'destruction' of Israeli society, and calls on the people to topple him. 'What's not clear here? It's all so clear, so evident.' עובדה UnXeptable

This is a damning report from negotiators about Netanyahu’s absolute lack of interest in reaching a deal on the hostages. He has abandoned his own citizens and broken the social contract.

כל מי שלא תומך בעסקה עכשיו, בפועל תומך בהריגת אנשינו, אחינו ואחיותינו הנמקים בשבי חמאס. תבחרו באיזה צד אתם של ההיסטוריה.

Six months in, we are unwavering in our urgent call for a bilateral ceasefire and hostage deal.

It's the only way to get the hostages out safely and get desperately needed humanitarian aid into Gaza.

There is no military solution to this conflict.

Tel Aviv tonight. Netanyahu be gone. Elections now! (And sure, go ahead and call all these people 'a small minority of Hamas supporters.')

“Stopping the bloodshed and letting the world feed the starving people of Gaza is the clear moral imperative. It is also, now, clearly the only way forward for Israel and world Jewry.”
