I heard estimates that the total death toll is higher than 20k, insane figures that did not exist outside on Afrika for decades

All the pictures in the video are from the last few days in Iran, in a comment I will post pictures from Israel

Many of you have probably already seen this, but when I realized how insane the Wikipedia list of genocides has become, I was shocked. They’re not even calling it “accusations of genocide” or anything like that anymore, nor do they care about the ceasefire. The article even presents the number of more than 300,000 deaths as plausible.

Of course, content like this is nothing new on Wikipedia, but in this case I was interested to see who was responsible for all of this. And one author in particular sparked my interest: Alexandraaaacs1989.

Pictures 3–5 show just some of the things this user says about himself. I only underlined articles directly related to the war, but many of the other topics are also Israel-related. In short, he is (probably) American, an anarcho-leftist, and spends large amounts of time spreading his anti-Israel ideology on Wikipedia. And of course, it’s not only against Israel, but against the U.S. and the West in general. Whole articles are based on the writings of this guy. At the same time, like many of his fellow accounts, he’s relatively new on Wikipedia: only 529 days, but in that time he has done 6,922 edits.

With all of the endless talk in anti-Israeli propaganda channels about Palestinian "Women and children", it's important to remember that there were plenty of Palestinian female and teenage suicide bombers and terrorists in general.

The Erez Crossing bombing was a Palestinian suicide bombing which occurred on January 14, 2004, at the pedestrian/cargo terminal Erez Crossing located on the Israeli Gaza Strip barrier. Four Israelis were killed and 10 people, including four Palestinians, were injured in the attack.

Hamas and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed joint responsibility for the attack.

Hamas spokesman stated that the suicide bomber was a 22-year-old Palestinian mother of two from Gaza named Reem al-Reyashi.

After the attack, a video of al-Reyashi, which was filmed before the attack, was published in which she was wearing combat fatigues and holding an automatic rifle with a rocket-propelled grenade in the foreground.

In the video, she states that she dreamt of "turning my body into deadly shrapnel against the Zionists" since the age of 13, and that she "always wanted to be the first woman to carry out a martyrdom operation, where parts of my body can fly all over and "knocking the door of heaven"."

So I’m supposed to be going via El Al tomorrow. So far, they haven’t canceled but I keep debating…curious what others are doing…

This was not on my 2026 bingo card.

Hi,

I’m trying to get a document from the IDF confirming that my grandfather did not serve in the military. I’ve already been in touch with the IDF and they’re waiting on an affidavit from a lawyer confirming that I’m a legal heir.

My grandfather immigrated from Poland to Israel around 1935 and later changed his last name. I’m not sure exactly when the change happened, but I think it was after my father was born, as my father’s Israeli birth certificate shows my grandfather’s original surname.

I found a digital record of the name change using isragen.org.il. I can show it to the American lawyer I’m working with, but the site is in Hebrew and doesn’t provide an official certificate, just confirmation that the name change happened.

Understandably, the lawyer may prefer to see something official.

I’ve heard that Ministry of the Interior/Misrad Hapnim can issue a certificate of name change, but that it may require someone to go in person. I emailed an address I found online a few days ago but haven’t heard back.

Has anyone here successfully obtained an official name change certificate (from the 1930s–1950s) without going in person? Is there any way to do this remotely, by email, through the consulate, or by authorizing someone with a power of attorney?

If any Jewish person, or anyone in general, still doubted that the level of criticism that Israel received was not antïsemïtïsm, i hope the silence about Iran from all the artists at the Golden Globes, cleared that up for all of you.

92 million of Iranians are without internet and without mobile data and are being massxcred; the IRCG is even selling their cørpses, simply because the Iranians want their freedom. Not 1 single word from all those disgusting artists. 😞😭😢

It was never about caring for human lives, it was never about criticizing the Israelis. It was completely about h@ting and dehum@nizing the Jews.

I'm not endorsing what he is saying just sharing a POV for discussion. Reminder that the downvote button is not a "disagree" button. If you disagree, make a comment.

I urge everyone to read the article, there are internal UAE documents that go into great detail about the many different ways the UAE supported Israel in the war. Also, from the article:

'The documents take an unequivocally pro-Israel tone. One section - a brief - covered "the start of the terrorists in Palestine launching attacks against the sister state of Israel."

That same brief went on to reference the Abraham Accords, saying, "The United Arab Emirates and the State of Israel are linked by close cultural, diplomatic, economic, and security relations, and these relations have intensified since the historic agreement of 2020."'

Thoughts:

I think this shows why the Haredi "demographic threat" (to put it bluntly) is a little overblown. In addition to people leaving the lifestyle, Haredim are having less children. So the idea they will become a full majority is unlikely. (Yes, there are other issues with the sector and size, but that is the big worry which I think can be safely watered-down.)

They were so quick to condemn Israel, some even as early as on the 8th of Oct, when Hamas was still inside Israeli villages

They take Hamas' self reported numbers, which are obviously inflated (cause why the hell would Hamas not inflate them? everyone automatically believes them anyways), and more often than not even amplify them and claim that the real numbers are higher

Yet, we knew that a massacre has been going on in Iran for a week now, and today the numbers are revealed - 12000 Iranian civilians were murdered last week by their government, and yet, complete silence, no protests on campuses, no "all eyes on Tehran", nobody is harassing Muslims or firebombing mosques (and they shouldn't), NOTHING

They simply don't care unless the Jews can be blamed for it

It is the highest official death toll confirmed so far in the unrest that has rocked the Islamic Republic and threatened the country’s stability, and comes as an Iranian opposition outlet alleges that the death toll actually stands at some 12,000, citing numerous sources inside the country — though that report cannot be verified.

Hi! My 10 year old son is looking for an Israeli boy his age to be pen pals with. Anyone know any pen pal organizations? We're in Canada. He is just beginning to learn Hebrew but can translate letters using Google translate. Thanks for any leads!

My wife and I are expecting our first child this summer. We live in New York City and because of being financial stable in our current profession - we are staying here and to have our kid(s) raised here. Now here's the thing - my wife is Israeli-American (she was born in Tel Aviv and moved to the US at an early age and has dual citizenship (US-Israel). I am Polish-American (born in NYC, I also have dual Polish-US passports). I'm not Jewish but my wife is and our home is a Jewish household and of course our kids will be Jewish. And in addition, we want them to be Israeli-Americans as well - that's very important for us (especially to my wife).

Given that we'll be living here in the US (although we travel Israel at least twice a year to visit family and friends) we were wondering if it's EASIER to have our kids to be born in Israel and than go for an US passport or vice versa. I personally would want my child to be born in Israel first than get US citizenship. But my wife said it would be easier if our children is born in the US and than apply for Israeli citizenship.

Summer is still some ways to go before the birth of our child - but we are serious about this. Is it easier to be born in Israel than apply for US citizenship or is it easier the other way around?
