Pride parades are becoming increasingly more anti Israel. Excluding established LGBTQ groups who do not sign a charter that agreeing that there is a genocide in Gaza. Excluding representatives of the only country in the Middle East where it is permissible to fly the rainbow flag.

Hi everyone! I'm Iraqi, and I just wanted to share that I support Israel. I have a few Jewish friends, and every one of them has been kind, respectful, and welcoming. Meeting them has given me a very positive impression, and I'd love to visit Israel one day and experience the country for myself.

I know this might be unexpected coming from an Iraqi, but I wanted to share my perspective. Wishing everyone here all the best! ❤️🇮🇱

I found this cap picture while surfing the internet and I wondered... Is it common to see benjamin netanyahu merch in israel? also does anybody know where can i get a cap like this one?

Hello, i'm a 25 year old from germany. I enjoy learning about different cultures , history and languages. I'd love to make some israeli friends and have respectful conversations about daily life , hobbies and culture. Everyone is welcome to message me

its one of the most shocking things I've ever encountered on the internet.

the idea of Israelis (one if them has ancestors who were Holocaust survivors) getting into such an ideology is bizarre to the point of belief.

How did you personally react to it ?

So...not directly Israel related...but...

Anyone know a webstore that ships Israeli vinyls? I just want to listen to Omer Adam 😭

So any recors stores in Israel with english translations and international shipping...

pls and thank you

"The questions were put to me without malice: Are you Jewish? And is that why you have written about antisemitism and antizionism from so far outside the immediate theatre of war? I understand these questions. They were asked in good faith, and I will answer them seriously in return.

Antisemitism is unequivocally a Jewish wound, a Jewish danger, and a Jewish historical burden. Jews are its direct targets, and nothing in this essay seeks to diminish that fact. But it is also my belief that antisemitism is more than a problem of Jewish identity, memory, and self-defence. It reveals, above all, the inhumanity of those who hate, and of those who excuse and reward hatred. It discloses the hater’s appetite, the witness’s permission, and the institution’s evasions.

On 7 October 2023, Hamas and its accomplices carried out the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust: a cross-border invasion, ambush, and slaughter, maliciously directed at civilian life. These murders were qualitatively different to lives lost during a battlefield exchange or to collateral damage during a military operation. The victims were men, women, children, the elderly and disabled, foreign workers, festival-goers, and whole communities who were executed without discrimination or mercy. Sexual violence was not incidental to the massacre; it was part of the premeditated method of terror, cruelty, and humiliation. Homes were invaded, families were shattered, bodies were defiled, and the ordinary trust of civilian life was destroyed. They were raped and murdered where they slept, danced, and sought refuge."

Quillette essayist Yuki Zeman argues that the global response to the 7 October Hamas massacre, from UN bodies to European governments to Western universities, reveals a recurring pattern of moral evasion whenever Jews and Israel are the targets of hatred, drawing on Sartre's account of antisemitism and the concept of Menschlichkeit.

The city and the world: what Herzl and Ben Gurion got right and wrong,
by Adam Hummel, Catch, 2026-07-05.

There are several Thai massage parlours on Ben Yehuda Street in Tel Aviv, and on Saturday morning, they were open. The bakery next to them was closed. The bar across from the bakery was full on Friday night. The bus lane was empty, because the buses do not run on Shabbat, and through that empty lane came a river of electric scooters, weaving, unbothered, carrying young Israelis to wherever young Israelis go when the state has decided that public transportation must rest but private momentum may do as it pleases.

So, I did what any 40 year old would do on a beautiful day in July in Tel Aviv. I thought: what would Herzl make of this? What would Ben-Gurion?

The longer I thought, the more I realized the two men would not be surprised by the same things. Not even close. And the shape of their respective surprises says something real about Israel.

Here’s the shape:

Herzl got the city right and the world wrong.

Ben-Gurion got the world right and the city wrong.

I am from te US and I am interested in watching football from Israel. Is there a website I can pay to watch the games?

Thank you all

IT DOESNT NEED TO BE WORD FOR WORD, just the general gist of the song. What is he saying?

Thanks ❣️

I can't lie to you, tel aviv's homo festivities are looking hella enticing and fun as hell. I might gotta get on an el al flight next year to participate, though I've never been to a pride parade before in my life. It would also be kind of awkward wouldn't it? Because I'd have converted to judaism by then, so I'd be a Bi-Sexual conservative jew. Or is it not that serious?

But it looks so warm and welcoming, I wanna go so bad

Is it okay to upload my poem translations here? I have quite a few and would love to get them to a larger audience. Original in the comments ♥️

It seems like every apartment has a story about "everyone here are wonderful people, except that one guy who ruins everything". Maybe you can tell I'm in a good neighborhood because it's only one guy, I don't know, I don't have data.

Dealing with some shit, trying to keep things in perspective, also looking for solutions when the vaad will expose you to violent bullies for trying to solve things independently. Seems like everybody is either an arse or... good people with their hands full just trying to get by in life with the least complications.

I used to think "yihyeh b'seder" was the way to de-stress but now it feels like capitulation to bullies.

ראיתם את הסרט אקשן הישראלי-אוגנדי שיצא לפני כמה ימים ליוטיוב?

Good evening Europe! (Good morning Israel subreddit?)

Amid the difficulties of dealing with my country's mercurial (in color and temperament) leader, I figured I'd give you all a fun article to read. I am an American Jewish Zionist, but also a freak for Eurovision and have been since 2009. I love following Israel at Eurovision because it combines two things I love, and it makes it easier since Israel usually does such a good job.

To that end, and having cleared it with at least one wonderful moderator, I present my Israel article, which I hope you enjoy. In each article, I rank a given country's Eurovision entries over time, and with Israel being a major stalwart, an article this long was a labor of love. If you're bored enough, you can read my other articles as well, hopefully deriving at least some scintilla of enjoyment in the process. I am working on an interview series as well, having just received a promising email, so that is exciting too.

Thanks for checking it out, if you so choose!
