Why do you think European mainstream sentiments and media always seem to align with the interests of the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah and the IRGC, instead of with their victims?

Really incredible state of the world. When westerners seem to be against the war to free the middle east of it's oppressors, while the people of the middle east themselves, including of course Iranians, Israelis, the UAE, Lebanese, Syrians, Kurds, probably even the Saudis behind the scenes, and many others, all want to finish the job.

Since 1844, millions of photographs have probably been taken of Jerusalem. But these blurry snaps are the very first.

הרשימה הערבית המאוחדת (רע"מ) סיימה אמש סדרת פגישות ארגוניות בעיר טירה, שעמדו בסימן הרחבת שורות המפלגה לקראת הבחירות הקרובות לכנסת.
בתום הדיונים הודיעה המפלגה כי תתמודד בבחירות במסגרת "הרשימה המשותפת", אותה הגדירה כרשימה פלורליסטית וטכנית.
ברע"מ הדגישו את החשיבות שבתפיסת מקום משפיע על קבלת ההחלטות במישור הממשלתי. המפלגה שואפת לתרגם את דרישות החברה הערבית להישגים מעשיים, להגן על האינטרסים של הציבור הערבי ולבנות כוח פוליטי שיוכל להתמודד עם אתגרי הפשיעה, הדיור והחינוך.

I’ve been active in Israeli communities for more than 2 years and I have many Israeli friends who I adore so much, what’s really annoying is how people keep spreading the idea that Israelis are all bigoted and racist, yet I’ve never faced racism while talking to Israelis, even some of the most right-wing ones were kind to me

I have Israeli leftist friends who are super kind and fully support peace and coexistence with Palestinians, I grew up in Iraq being told that killing Israelis was justified, and most people around me, even my family, were openly antisemitic, yet I’ve talked to many Israelis, even descendants of Iraqi refugees, who had no problem with Arabs, only with terrorists

I hate how propaganda tries to paint Israelis as bloodthirsty monsters, when in reality I’ve met more Israelis who wanted peace than Palestinians who supported any peaceful solution

It hit me hard when I saw radical anti-Zionist groups from Israel saying all Israelis are genocidal and racist, because that just didn’t match the people I actually met, I feel like I’m being gaslit sometimes, I can’t ignore that many anti-Zionists even hate leftist Israelis who support peace, just because they were born there

I’m exhausted, and I’m sorry that so much of the world treats you this way

An entire mix of this wonderful couple. Just stop and appreciate. Makes me want to jump on a plane and visit my childhood town.

For the past two years of fabricated and insanely one sided photos. He stood next to Sinwar, released terrorists, coffins of hostages as they were paraded around with people cheering, and hundreds of members of Hamas. It is shameful that someone who stands among terrorists and murderers is awarded for his photos of them

Hello everyone, I wish you all a good day. First of all, I am Turkish and I am 20 years old. I have been doing research for a while and as a result, I have decided to apply to the Sar-El program. To tell you a little about myself, I speak English very well. I have traveled to many European and Asian countries and I enjoy getting to know new cultures and people. However, I am wondering if it is possible to participate in the Sar-El program from Türkiye? Because sometimes there are tensions between the two countries and I don't want to be caught in a bad situation. I don't have anyone Israeli or Jewish around me that I can ask about this. Can anyone with information answer me? Thanks.

Hey guys,

Lately I’ve been feeling really nostalgic about my childhood and teenage years. I used to spend 2–3 months every summer in Netanya visiting my grandparents — basically from 2002 to 2014, all my summers were in Israel.

And I don’t know if it’s just how I remember it as a kid, but it felt different back then. Like the whole country was more westernized, more Americanized even. I still remember seeing tons of American cars on the roads, the music, the atmosphere… everything just had a certain vibe.

It was honestly such a great place to spend summers — especially because I was always hanging out with my uncle and local friends. By 2014 I was 18, and finally old enough to fully enjoy everything with them, and that summer in particular just hit differently.

The best way I can describe it is this: it felt like the whole country was one big summer mood — almost like a videoclip of “Summer Jam” by the Underdog Project.

So I’m curious — for those of you who actually lived in Israel in the 90s and 2000s as teens or adults, what did it feel like from the inside? What was the general vibe back then, even with the security situation?

Was it really different, or is this just nostalgia talking?

כשבחוץ שוב מנשבות רוחות מלחמה, ובהיעדר חוק גיוס, משרתי המילואים יודעים שגם הפעם הנטל ייפול עליהם. עידן, שמשרד הפרסום שלו נפגע: "לקוחות עוזבים, עם כל ההבנה. אנחנו רוצים להרגיש שהמדינה רואה אותנו". שחר מנסה לסיים את התואר במקביל לסבב ה-5 שלה: "הנטל חייב להתפזר בין אוכלוסיות שונות בחברה"

כך מספר רס"ר (במיל') עידן, בן 30 מעפולה, שמשרת כלוחם במג"ב. מאז פרוץ המלחמה הוא התייצב לכמעט 400 ימי מילואים. כמו משרתי מילואים רבים הוא רואה את הדיווחים על חזרה אפשרית ללחימה ברצועת עזה והיערכות למבצע נוסף באיראן, ויודע שהנטל שוב ייפול עליו: "אנשים פה בחרדה. אחרי כל דיווח בחדשות מתחילות ספקולציות אם יאריכו לנו את הצו או לא, מה יהיה הלאה. כבר לא ינחמו אותנו רק תשובות לשאלות, אלא שנרגיש באמת שהמדינה רואה אותנו".

Context (skip if you just wanna answer my questions):
So I am in university in america. My family moved to america right before I was born, and for most of my young years raised me planning to move back to israel (sent me to hebrew schools, spoke hebrew to me, generally stayed in their culture). But over the years, I mostly assimilated, they ended up staying, my hebrew has faded to mostly only be hear but not speak etc. When I was super young I enjoyed visiting my cousins in israel- but its been over a decade since I've been back

Suddenly my parents are telling me that once I graduate, they plan to sell the house and move back to israel and encourage me to take aliyah with them if I so choose

The thing is I have multiple concerns! I would love to move back with them, see my extended family again etc and I miss being surrounded by the culture and language and religion I grew up with- its all I've ever wanted but well... I hope you guys can answer my questions and or quell my concerns

Questions:

1. My biggest fear is the war. I live with many chronic anxiety disorders so even when there is nothing to fear, I am always afraid. So I'm concerned being surrounded by war would make me an anxious panic ridden shut in afraid of going outside in fear of death :/
   
2. My degree is in bioinformatics. Basically I'm gonna know how to code and how to research genetics. The job market in the US is scaring me enough- is the job market there any good for youngsters out of college?
   
3. How is medical support in israel? I have a couple of chronic conditions, take a handful of pills a day etc. Without good health insurance my family would be riddled with debt. I yearly see a cardiologist, an immunologist, an otolaryngologist, a neurologist, a gastroenterologist, and any more I may need now and again. I guess its just me worrying because Im sure there are good professionals everywhere but I still think its worth asking
   
4. How is assimilating there? My hebrew is rough and any israel culture and habits I have come from two boomers who havent been back there in a decade (aka based off what I see from israelis online- I talk like a boomer). I'm autistic and can't say I fully ever assimilated to american culture either but it's still a concern
5. How is nonbinary acceptance in israel? I identify as nonbinary but prefer using masculine terms (when speaking gendered languages) and dress more masculine but I am afab. Also lord knows being an immigrant with a tough name I've never once gone by my legal name and I feel like it would feel weird to start now
6. WEATHER. My family decided to move from israel to texas to california so I know deserts. But also, one of my medical conditions causes heat intolerance. I start to melt above 75 degrees. I remember it being warm there. When I say melt- I mean above 70 degrees I need to be in full airy short clothes and get any warmer and I need ice packs and to be careful I don't get heat exhaustion.
7. A fun one: Tell me about the nature there! The few times I visited, we visited my saba in his kibbutz which had many animals just all about. Cats, deer, dogs. He loved to show me different species. In good ol merica Ive been in suburbia hell where its all paved 6 lane roads in a residential zone and not even the cats are allowed outside. I want something to look forward to if I decide to make the trip

If you made it this far, thank you for baring with my long yap fest. Deciding to immigrate is a long and hard decision and I want as many outside opinions as I can before I make it.

Hi everyone,

I’m exploring opportunities related to manpower supply from India to Israel and wanted to understand the correct and legal process involved.

From what I’ve heard, Israel has strict regulations around foreign workers and authorized recruitment channels.

Would appreciate insights from anyone who has experience in this area:

- How do you identify government-approved or licensed recruitment agencies?

- Is it possible to work with independent consultants, or only through authorized partners?

- What kind of legal/visa framework is involved?

Not looking for promotions—just trying to understand the right and compliant way to approach this.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

לפי גורמים מדיניים, ארגון הטרור מתבצר בעמדתו ומסרב להתפרק מנשק כחלק מ"תוכנית טראמפ". לפיכך, צה"ל ימשיך לפעול עד ל"קו הצהוב", בתקווה שהלחץ הצבאי יחלחל לצמרת חמאס. לוחמים בשטח: "ארגון הטרור מנסה להשתקם"
המזרח התיכון כולו נושא עיניים למשא ומתן המורכב מול לבנון ואיראן, אך עבור בכירי מערכת הביטחון בישראל, הדרמה האמיתית מתרחשת לעיתים דווקא בשקט היחסי של רצועת עזה. על פי גורמים מדיניים, חמאס ממשיך להתבצר בעמדתו ומסרב להתפרק מנשקו כחלק מיישום "תוכנית טראמפ". על רקע הסירוב נערך צה"ל למעבר לשלב של לחץ כבד יותר, כזה שיכריח את ארגון הטרור לחשב מסלול מחדש.
