My ailing father - 93 years old, a victim & defeater of Nazism, a right-wing Orthodox Jew - was asked by the physician in the emergency room, seeking to ascertain his cognitive state:
"Who's the President?"
My dad: "You don't want to know".
Jeez, I love my dad.

All things Jerusalem. Retweet is not necessarily an endorsement (often the opposite). At POST: @DanielSeidemann
- I live in Jerusalem. 40% of the city's population is Palestinian. The Israeli citizens are citizens. The non-Israeli Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, are, with rare exceptions, not citizens. Spare me the bullshit that they're entitled to become citizens. They're not.Replying to @havecankles and @DanielSeidemannWhere exactly is the apartheid? You mean Israeli citizens are citizens and non Israeli citizens not in Israel are not citizens? Ok then… And the genocidal side is Hamas and its supporters.
- A lone protester now I'm Tel Aviv: Bibi in exchange for the hostages
- "IDF Spokesperson: First - we didn't shoot. Second - we didn't hit. Third - if we hit, then not a hundred. Fourth - even if it's a hundred - they weren't innocent lambs. Fifth - no one suffered in the Holocaust as much as we. Who are they to teach us"? Cry, the beloved country.דובר צה"ל: ראשית - לא ירינו. שנית - לא פגענו. שלישית - אם פגענו, אז לא במאה. רביעית - גם אם מדובר במאה - לא מדובר בשיות תמימות. חמישית - מי כמונו סבל בשואה. אז שלא ילמדו אותנו.
- 1/ In the early hrs of this morning, and in response to disturbances, Israeli police conducted a violent incursion into the East Jerusalem Palestinian neighborhood Kafr Aqab in East Jerusalem. There was a barrage of tear gas. There is one detail that is slightly problematic.
00:00 - Breaking and very important. There is a reasonable possibility that Jerusalem is about to explode. Two Palestinian youths have been shot two death by Border Police in Silwan after firing fireworks at the Police. Ben Gvir is already boasting about it. Clashes all over Jslm
- The end of occupation.Mazal Tov: Today is Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot's 38th birthday 🎉🎊 What will you wish her?
- 1/ Breaking and very important . This requires urgent and resolute intention. Last night, a group of Israeli settlers attempted to take possession of a strategically located land in the Armenian Quarter of the Old City.
- This is happening against the backdrop of the carnage in Gaza. That's not an accident. The settlers hope you won't notice their incursion into the Armenian Quarter. I beseech you: notice.
- This is extremely important and extremely urgent. Settlers have used the cover of the war in order to physically take over a large parcel of the Armenian Quarter. Read the communique, and more information will be forthcoming. This requires prompt and resolute engagement.
- Photojournalist Mustafa Harouf was threateded with live fire and was brutality beaten by Police in East Jerualem. He's been hospitalized w/ serious injuries, their severity not yet clear. There is no individual with a greater impact on today's East Jerualem than Ben Gvir.
- It was fireworks. He didn't aim it at anyone. He didn't endanger anyone. He was 13. The world over, kids like this are, at worst, sent to bed without dinner. He will have no more dinners because he shot dead. Ben Gvir is celebrating.Replying to @israelpolice and @DanielSeidemannWe strongly condemn the exploitation of Ramadan by lawbreakers, rioters, and violent disruptors who attempt to harm security forces or civilians.
- I am told that this footage is from Hebron, a couple of weeks ago. Nothing to be said.
00:00 - Regardless, this is a very dangerous mega-event. Ramallah now.
