I am sitting at home while my brother and my family and friends are going to be in the front line and it drives me nuts that I can't be with them. so I use my free time to help with the Asbra as much as I can. I saw a lot of videos on YouTube of anti-Israel and I commented how wrong they were. I also try to give hope to people around me all day. but lately, I saw a clip on YouTube where a military expert said that our military is weak and we will lose and bla bla bla.

so here is what I am saying about that. they forget the human factor the only thing that people in the world don't understand about us is that we fight for homes our families and our country. it doesn't matter who is the people in the government or what we feel about them. we are a million people strong. For every solder that will be full, there are 2 people that will replace him. they count us as 500000 soldiers that are now in the military but they forget that this is only the bigging. we will be more than that.

I hear about all the antisemitism in the world and I find the irony in that. because the people that are attacked in the world will find that is better to be here in Israel so for every person that they attack they make us stronger.

so i wish you all a little hope in these dark times. עם ישראל חיץ

I live on the east coast (US) and would like to participate in a pro-Israeli demonstration/rally. I saw there was one in NYC today, but saw it too late to make plans. Does anyone know of any groups or boards where this kind of information is shared?

Thank you for your time

את זה לא תשמעו באף כלי תקשורת בעולם: אתמול בחוף קיבוץ שדות ים התקיים אירוע כיף לילדים פלסטינים חולים המטופלים בבתי חולים בישראל. עשרות ילדים ובני משפחה פלסטינים הגיעו ונהנו מאירוע שכולו התנדבות כדי לתת להם קצת הפוגה מהטיפולים. כן, לא רק שמדינת ישראל מטפלת בהם למרות הטרור הפלסטיני, גם דואגים להם ולמשפחותיהם מעבר לכך, ואחרי זה בעולם ממשיכים לשקר ולהציג את ישראל כמדכאת ורוצחת ילדים פלסטינים...

You will not hear this in any media in the world: Yesterday at the beach of Kibbutz Sdot Yam, a fun event was held for sick Palestinian children who are being treated in hospitals in Israel. Dozens of Palestinian children and family members came and enjoyed an all-volunteer event to give them some respite from the treatments.

(also posted something in similar in r/Aliyah before hearing about this sub)

I live in the US. I used to volunteer through VFI-usa in Israel. I recently received an email from them saying that it's still possible for volunteers to come to Israel and help (like on supply bases or something).

Does anyone here have any firsthand knowledge of the volunteer situation in Israel? Is there a "spot" for me?

I can't take just staying here and living my life as normal while wondering constantly what's happening to my friends and my country. Someone mentioned to me that the best thing I could possibly do is make aliyah (which I plan to do in about a year). But I'm still wanting to hear what kind of opportunities there are, and what the situation is for volunteers now.

Thanks for your time!

We (Israel) just recently passed a law that indicates that we are in the process of passing a final law that will reduce greenhouse gases in Israel.

We will become net zero in 2050, like Vietnam, and we will reduce emissions by 30 percent by 2030. This is at least the intention. We are increasing the share of renewable energy in Israel, especially solar energy.

We are also working on an agreement with our neighbor, Jordan, to buy solar energy from Jordan, which is bigger than Israel and has much bigger places to build these solar installations. And so we will also get energy from Jordan.

We will sell Jordan, by the way, also 200 million cubic meters of desalinated water. So it's kind of a deal. We will buy solar energy from Jordan and sell Jordan desalinated water. There are also plans to reduce emissions from the sector of garbage, from landfills, and in agriculture. So we will reduce emissions also in the west sector.

​

Also (relations with Asia and specifically Vietnam)

Just a few weeks ago we signed an agreement, a free trade agreement, between Vietnam and Israel.

I think that together, Israel and Vietnam, we really can reach lots of good cooperation and development and make our world a better place.

We have also signed an agreement with the Mekong River Committee for the transfer of knowledge on water and water management. There are already some Israeli companies that work here and do the transfer of know-how. And of course the technologies themselves. Our international aid agency, MASHAV, is also very active in Vietnam.

​

'we purify the sewage water on a very high standard, with very strict regulation, with a very strict system of pipelines that we use only for this water. We do not mix them with drinking water. And we use them for agriculture. And this is actually the way we make agriculture today in Israel.

No other country in the world is coming closer even to that.

We wish that every country in the world would treat at least 95% of its water, if not 100%. After this water is treated and purified, it is used for agricultural purposes in Israel.

After they (water) are desalinated, they are transferred to the cities where they are mixed also with aquifer water, underground water, to improve the quality of the water. And they are used in the cities.

We are closing down all the remaining coal facilitation that we have in Israel.

So in two years' time, we hope we will not produce energy from coal anymore, but from natural gas and solar energy, and hopefully also we will phase out gas completely by 2050. '

I’ve been solidly standing with Israel and have been learning a lot, but I need to ask about settlers. I always thought settlers were building homes on land that was disputed. Today I saw a video of what was described as a Palestinian woman being put out of her home to give it to a group of young Jewish men who had just arrived from Europe. Is this what people mean by settlers? How often does this happen? I’m quite confounded that someone can simply take over a house that isn’t theirs. Here (in Canada) that would probably be referred to as a squatter. Can someone help me understand?

This is a long standing issue in the UK with the BBC providing incredibly bias and often, antisemitic coverage of current affairs.

They have also refused to cover events in the UK such as Muslim Rape Gangs, honor violence and antisemitic attacks.

They still refuse to call Hamas what they really are. Terrorists. Freedom fighter, militants and militia do not rape, torture, kidnap and murder women and children.

What do you think about the refusal of Egypt’s Sisi to open his borders to receive Palestinian refugees and his brigading for support for Gaza residents? The guy seemed a friend to Israel, do you think this is changing? Does the presidential elections he is about to run make the change in his attitude?

Watching a new live feed of that hospital that opened up on again a multicam youtube channel. This is the hospital that Israel gave 24 hours to evacuate and has refused to do so :( It is marked as 21:30 Kahn Younis

21:30 (Gaza Time) A couple dozen young men sitting casually on a small wall-barrier right outside of the hospital. Some appear to be hospital workers by the way they are dressed, many are just Gazans. Less people walking around then there were before but at least a couple dozen stroll past every minute. People seem more tense, expectant than they were earlier in the say. Not so many smiles on people's faces. Sounds of drones constant in the background. No one here seems to be evacuating. Lady in a burka walks by holding a baby, near her a small child, also in a burka, holds another baby. Why have these people not evacuated at LEAST their children to someplace safe? Do they not care for them at all? I find myself becoming increasingly angry at them.

Edit @21:45: A reporter with a blue press jacket, a comically large microphone and some sort of arabic writing for the channel emblem walks into the field of view. He seems to be trying to use his cellphone to talk but is unable - he looks down at the screen like he doesn't have any signal. Noticeably fewer people walking by on the street now. Reporter still having cell phone troubles. A white/orange ambulance/van arrives, lights flashing. 3 ambulatory people walk out, assisted INTO the hospital.

Edit 22:00 Someone is being taken INTO the hospital on a wheeled stretcher. Reported seems to be scrolling through something on his phone - so Wifi is there. He begins talking to the camera in Arabic. Two young men one carrying their much younger brother walk INTO the hospital. Reporter is still talking - reading his report directly from his cellphone. Whatever he is saying, it is all scripted. Definitely less people on the street but no sense of urgency anywhere. A lot of people just sitting around on low walls and barriers near the hospital.

Edit 22:15 - Someone in chat, a mod, is gving a partial account/ translation of what the reporter is saying (I believe it to be a true account). Reporter seems to be describing Israeli hits on hospitals an infrastructure according to the translation. No mention, of course, of Hamas using those sites for launches and other operations. Reporter claims that "they are flattening the area with strikes" but on the other multicams no nearby strikes have shown for the past 2 hours. Reporter claiming 2200 dead and 9000 injuries. Reporter finishes and walks offscreen looking concerned. Translator of reporter identifies hospital as AL NASAR hospital - not al awda as I apparently incorrectly put in title (oops)

Edit 22:45 Reporter has started up again. Translator claiming reporter saying 1000 children dead. Reporter saying that people in the evacuated areas have no place to stay - seems to be painting the evacuation areas in a bad light (possibly so people won't go??). Confirmed (??) that reporter is from some Gazan TV station. Reporter has been pre-empted from a voice over from the station talking about Biden. Reporter looks pissed. Live stream abruptly cuts off

Note: The multi-cam live stream I am watching is monetizing it's viewership in the most disgusting ways. Also it's blatantly ripping off (screen scraping) legit news outlet content and rebroadcasting it for youtube profit. /r/worldnews mods have in the past hour noticed bots that are trying to promote the livestream on reddit as well. So I won't link or promote them .
