My husband left his wallet in a taxi right before Shabbat. The company didn't answer (already closed for Shabbat). Jerusalemites are renowned for their generosity & honesty, so am not the least bit surprised that the driver safeguarded it. Thank you Mohammed. #Jerusalem

If Jesus - who was Jewish - was a Palestinian and lived in Bethlehem 2000 years ago, then you're saying Jews are indigenous to what is today called Palestine and Jews have a right to live in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Israel. Glad you cleared this up.

I generally reject jabs at "mainstream media," but I've got to admit that I pitched the story to a mainstream outlet last night Israeli time and haven't heard a word. The outlet doesn't have a single piece on the escalation. I did try.

The reason the @UNRWA Gaza director is taking a โ€œlong leave of absenceโ€ after calling Israeli air strikes precise is the same reason it's impossible to report 100% accurately from Gaza if you're a Gaza-based journalist. You risk losing access, arrest or worse. #Gaza #journalists

The International Red Cross claims that #Hamas is refusing to allow it to visit Israeli hostages still in Gaza. The Red Cross could use its leverage - starting with threatening to leave Gaza - unless it has full access to the hostages. Caving to terrorists is a bad precedent.

Anyone who has followed Hamas for the past 3 decades isn't surprised that it just bombed Keren Shalom while negotiations to end the war are happening. During the intifadas, Hamas sent out suicide bombers every time it looked like peace was near. Hamas thrives on war, not peace.

It's no wonder an Orthodox Jew was stabbed on his way to prayers this morning: The U.S. Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism is too busy defending Israeli settlements to actually combat anti-Semitism.

Unpopular opinion: I don't care how valid a protester's concerns (Ethiopians, disabled, other). Blocking multiple roads and highways endangers lives. Ambulances cannot get through. Not everyone packs enough insulin or anti-convulsion meds for a 3-hour wait in traffic.

Waves of concern in Israel after โ€œRabbi" Michael Elkohen (aka Michael Elk/Michael Tzadok) was outed as a deceitful Christian missionary. News raises concerns that the countless weddings/circumcisions he performed and Torahs/mezuzahs he created are invalid, unkosher. #Jewish

Actually, many if not most Polish Jewish survivors went back home to look for relatives. Poles murdered some of them and threatened the rest. The Poles had stolen their homes, land, businesses. Poland has never compensated Jews for this property.

The headline should have also mentioned that it's the Jewish holiday of Tisha B'av, which commemorates the destruction of the Jewish temples. The Temple Mt is the holiest site in Judaism. Today Al Aqsa sits where Temples stood.

@sjabulhawa "Intifada" is a call for the murder of Jews, as was the case during the 1st and 2nd intifadas. "Solution" is a word that triggers trauma due to the Nazi's Final Solution.

@sesmith This is wrong on so many levels. First and foremost accessibility, but it screams "unsafe" in the event of an emergency. If people have to flee quickly, such as during a terror attack, they'll have to run into the street to flee. Just seeing this makes me anxious.

Dear J Street: Move to Israel, pay taxes, vote, and spend three years in the IDF and a month every year in reserve duty. Then, perhaps your fellow Israelis will be interested in what you have to say.
