Opposition leader Lapid " Remember When We Were Cool? Yeah, I know. Anyone who still writes “cool” is probably not cool anymore. But we really were cool. Incredibly cool. And it wasn't even that long ago. Madonna was walking around wearing a red Kabbalah bracelet, and she kicked off a world tour right here in Israel. Every summer, Yarkon Park was a stop on somebody's world tour: Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Radiohead, Justin Bieber — twice. Investors came here from all over the world because Israeli startups were insanely cool. Warren Buffett's first acquisition outside the United States was a factory in Tefen. Intel paid $15 billion for Mobileye, Pepsi paid $3.2 billion for SodaStream, and Google bought Waze. In 2021 alone, Israeli companies raised $25 billion. Lonely Planet ranked Tel Aviv the third-best city in the world. In 2019, four and a half million tourists visited Israel — an all-time record. Remember that? Just four years ago, we had this thing called tourists. Wonder Woman was from Rosh HaAyin. Shtisel became a massive hit on Netflix. Homeland and In Treatment originated here. A book by a really skinny professor from the Hebrew University sold more than 20 million copies. Ottolenghi turned hummus and tahini into global trends. Eyal Shani opened pita restaurants in Paris and New York. The best restaurant in America in 2019 was Zahav, an Israeli restaurant in Philadelphia. Netta won Eurovision. A year later, all of Europe came to Tel Aviv, with Madonna on stage once again. She sang wildly off-key. The Giro d'Italia kicked off in Jerusalem. Maccabi Tel Aviv were European champions. Linoy Ashram and Artem Dolgopyat came home from Tokyo with gold medals. Four Nobel Prizes in science in nine years. We sent a spacecraft to the moon. It crashed during landing, but it made it there. We also sent an astronaut to the International Space Station. Governments came to learn from us how to turn seawater into drinking water. The whole world wanted Iron Dome. In January 2021, the entire world was watching us: we vaccinated our population faster than anyone else, and Pfizer chose us to be the world's laboratory. Israelis were taking selfies in Dubai. Emiratis were eating hummus in Jaffa. Three American presidents and a pope came to visit. Conan O'Brien came to film an episode, and he laughed with us, not at us. And then there was Bruno Mars's concert in Yarkon Park, in front of 63,000 people. It was a Wednesday. His second concert was supposed to take place on Saturday night. October 7, 2023. Since then, foreign airlines have stopped flying here. Artists have been canceling their performances. Credit rating agencies have downgraded us again and again. More than 200,000 Israelis have left the country, including nearly 1,400 doctors. Last February, for the first time since the establishment of the State of Israel, more Americans identified with the Palestinians than with us. Part of it is the war, but this isn't our first war. Part of it is antisemitism and Qatari money, but antisemites and Qataris were around four years ago too, and back then, it didn't do them much good. Yes, the people marching around shouting “Free Palestine” are toxic, useful idiots. Yes, the global campaign against us is an insult to intelligence, fueled by horrific lies. But the problem is that on our side, we have a government that, instead of fighting back against all this, has done everything it can to prove to the world that we're no longer cool. No country becomes cool because of its government. But a country can absolutely stop being cool because of its government. That's what happened to us. Netanyahu used to be kind of cool. Those days are long gone. Young people around the world look at him and see someone arrogant and out of touch. Ministers who call for starving children and dropping atomic bombs on civilians are decidedly not cool. Jewish terrorism isn't cool. Racism isn't cool. The things Deri and Pindrus say about LGBTQ people are seriously uncool. Ben Gvir's TikTok followers might be surprised to hear this, but the world doesn't think he's cool at all. They see him for what he is: violent, loud, sweaty, and desperate for likes. I know we're different. But the world doesn't know that. People look at us and think, “Well, that's their government, so they must be like that too.” We can explain until we're blue in the face that Tally Gotliv and Amsalem do not represent the State of Israel, but they're the ones people see on their screens. Every single day. All day long. Now for the good news: Everything that made us cool until recently is still here. The engineers are here. The scientists are here. The chefs are here. The sea, the sunshine, the chutzpah, and Yohay Sponder. The young woman starting a company at 24. The grandmother cooking for 40 soldiers she's never met. The reservists who served 300 days are the coolest people in the world (except maybe the female reservists). So what will it take to get back there? Not a miracle. Just a government that knows how to govern. Ministers who don't embarrass us on the world stage. A military in which everyone serves. Taking responsibility. This isn't nostalgia. It's a plan of action. We were there just a moment ago. The road back is shorter than you think. On October 27, we'll be deciding many things far more important than this. But we'll also be deciding whether we get to be cool again. " https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DZhRe3pVy/

@Karmadhi There is a fair and respectful way to criticize. You can fully expose a problem without having to paint an entire people in a negative light. Israelis are rightfully angry with them. Arresting them is wrong though.

@Karmadhi I think this is an election-driven move by Netanyahu. Anyway I also didn't like the way they chose to show their criticism. https://x.com/netanyahu/status/2109725618501775681?s=20

@integration journey I don't know what to say to you at this moment. I will try to look into this. Do you live in southern Syria?

Bennett " Since October 7, I have attended more than 500 funerals and condolence visits. It changes you from within. You cannot encounter so much pain, love, and courage and remain the same person. You sit across from parents who have lost their son. You listen to stories about a daughter who will never come home. And you carry something with you from every home and every family. I want to share a few personal insights from this painful journey: Tell the people we love how much we love them while they are still alive. So many times, I have heard bereaved families speak of that burning sense of regret: "If only I could tell him now how proud I am of him and how much I love him..." "If only I had one more chance to hug her." More than once, I have found myself leaving a funeral or a condolence visit and immediately calling my mother to ask how she is doing, or calling my wife, Gilat, just to tell her I love her, for no particular reason, in the middle of the day. Don't keep kind words to yourself. I have learned that an extraordinary young generation has grown up here, unlike any other in the world. A typical 20-year-old American woman may have attended just one funeral in her entire life, perhaps that of a grandmother who passed away peacefully at an old age. Young Israelis of the same age have, sadly, attended countless funerals in recent years. It is heartbreaking. I look into the faces of young soldiers as I speak with them at funerals, and I can see the horrors of battle and the grief of losing their friends etched into their faces. As though they have grown up overnight. But I also see determination in their eyes, a burning belief that they have the power to make things right. This generation is our hope. In the coming years, more heroes will emerge from among them, men and women who will join the country's leadership and rebuild Israel. Bereavement is not contagious. Many people hesitate to approach bereaved families. They are afraid to come closer, to speak, to ask questions. Many families say that because those around them are overly cautious, they are left to face their pain alone. People simply don't know what to say. "It's as if we're fragile," one woman told me, "or as if this grief is contagious." Bereavement is not contagious. What is contagious is the courage of these people to say yes to life after death. And their love for this country, which has been tested in the hardest way imaginable. So don't be afraid to approach them. Simply ask, even if you don't know them: "Tell me about your son." Give them a hug. You won't catch their grief. You'll only catch their love of life. "Being worthy of them" is not just a slogan. Bereaved families plead with us and demand of us, standing over the graves of their loved ones, that we become more united. That we put an end to the internal divisions that weaken us so deeply. Sometimes, on my way home from such a funeral, I turn on the car radio, only to switch it off again almost immediately. The gap between the final wishes of these families and the petty arguments in politics and the media is simply unbearable. It is the responsibility of all of us to fix this. Mine, too. In their death, they commanded us to live. When you read the heartbreaking farewell letters left behind by soldiers before heading into battle, one request appears again and again: They ask their families and friends not to sink into grief, but to make every effort to go on living. This message is so universal that we can reasonably assume even those who fell without leaving a farewell letter would have wanted to convey exactly the same message to all of us. The shortest farewell message I have ever read contained just three words in Hebrew. Sergeant Itay Amar, of blessed memory, wrote it in a note on his phone before entering Gaza. He was killed in battle in Gaza at just 19 years old. When his family opened the note on his locked phone during the shiva, the seven-day mourning period, they discovered these words: "Stay happy for me." To all the bereaved families: We swear to do everything in our power to fulfill the final wishes of your sons and daughters. To make things right and to be worthy of them. This is our life's mission.

Certainly immoral and an unhealthy social engineering that will backfire Israel unfortunately. However that is our current government attitude in every realm of life, inside and outside Israel.

I appreciate that

Yes Bibi delayed hostage deals for weeks and even months. I wouldn't say so certainly it was exactly like that. OH oh...

Execution in advanced countries should be extremely rare and should be done in the most humane and medically controlled way. Even then, I am conflicted about whether they should happen at all. All other practices including injections etc are dark and should be banned.

@Husseinisdoingfine He sees them as cooperating with terorrism because this party have connections with the Muslim Brotherhood. Mansour Abbas has publicly denied that Raam is part of the Muslim Brotherhood, while at the same time acknowledged some ideological similarities.

People can be conservative and/or impulsive on issues they personally relate due to their history and emotions, and at the same time be advanced and empathetic in other issues also for personal reasons and their own inner logic. It doesn't make SD not real, but just that it represent you the stairs of development but people express all those stairs all the time. Of course there is a development trend, but still, we never fully "leave" a stage behind.

Roughly 10% of the Israeli soldiers were killed in friendly fire incindents.
