Genocide is what Hamas committed on October 7th.

Peace will only come when jihadism is eliminated.

Singing together at the Nova Music Festival Exhibition in Los Angeles was deeply moving. We gathered as one community to honor the beautiful souls we lost at Nova, remember those who were taken hostage, and carry their memory through music.

May their memories forever be a blessing. 🕊️💙
Am Yisrael Chai.

2 million living in Gaza is not genocide.

500 mosques in Israel is not apartheid.

Jewish indigeneity is not occupation.

Antizionists failed vocabulary.

If you ever feel stupid, remember: There are people who genuinely believe Israel’s war against Hamas is a genocide. 🤣

We often speak about the women and children, and rightly so. But today I also want to acknowledge the men, the fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, and friends whose suffering is too often overlooked. I want to honor the Israeli men, Jewish men, Druze men, Arab men, and others who were murdered on October 7, who were victims of sexual violence, and who were taken hostage by Hamas. Their pain matters. Their stories matter. May we never forget them.

The U.S. Embassy issued a rare “Unusual Alert” warning Americans about organized crime gangs in Israel.

The media immediately treated it as if Israel had suddenly become one of the world’s most dangerous places.

Here’s the part they left out.

📊 Israel’s national homicide rate: ~3.0 per 100,000
📊 Jewish population in Israel: ~0.7 per 100,000
📊 United States national average: 5.0 per 100,000
📊 Memphis: 40.6 per 100,000

Several major U.S. cities also have overall crime rates 3–15 times higher than Israel’s national figures.

So yes, the Embassy alert is real. It addressed a localized dispute between organized crime families involving gr***de and shooting attacks in central Israel.

But let’s keep it in perspective.

An American is statistically more likely to face violent crime in multiple U.S. cities than the average Israeli is going about daily life.

There’s another point that’s often ignored.

Israel’s homicide statistics also include victims of terrorism. Remove terror attacks from the equation, and the homicide rate among ordinary criminal violence is even lower than the national figure suggests.

None of this means Israel has no crime. Every country does.

It means headlines without context create distorted perceptions.

The alert was real.

The comparison is what should make people stop and think.

So much for the “manosphere” big talk, Andrew Tate got arrested in a satin blouse looking like he just lost a fight with a Victoria’s Secret mannequin.

Top G? Nah, more like Top Satin. The matrix wins again. 😂😂😂
