@Ayeletnnv · Israeli opposition & former officials
Ayelet Nachmias-Verbin is an Israeli politician.
He is a great man and rabbi. A year ago, on the eve of Tisha B'Av, Ivri and I, together with my friends Uri Banki and Shlomo Ziteman, went to visit the Har Etzion Yeshiva. We sat for about two hours, and I left with the clear understanding that he embodies the essence of the values of Judaism and humanism. We need voices like Rabbi Lichtenstein's, because otherwise destruction is knocking from below.
Translated from HebrewLet someone whisper in Zvika Fogel’s ear that what he was was anything but statesmanlike, so he shouldn’t try to cleanse himself of his connection to Sir Filth and Ruin, who sits on our backs. We see right through you ++
Translated from Hebrew>>I welcome any discussion about a political solution, even if it is currently difficult to see one, but above all I believe that if one wants to argue, there should be facts. That is not what antisemites do. The most moving thing was the museum staff, and in general I love Greece and am connected to it in a way that one can only get at home, despite my personal history. Have a good day
Translated from Hebrew>>This is not our way at home, and in general, at home and in our professional lives, we seek every day channels for connection and positive influence. This is what *we* pass on to our children. This was not an invitation to argue or discuss the policy of the Israeli government, but rather pure antisemitism passed down from generation to generation, and it was painful to witness >>
Translated from Hebrew>>But it was entirely in the spirit of good-natured discussion and listening. That wasn't what happened yesterday at the museum. What happened there was antisemitic venom directed at us because we spoke Hebrew. It was persecution, not an attempt to talk and listen. It was incitement in front of her grandson, who still has no idea about life. Even the day after 7/10, I didn't teach my children to be afraid of Arabs>>
Translated from Hebrew>> We talked about history, she told us about her family from Lebanon, we got as far as the Sykes-Picot Agreement, returned to talking about 7/10 and I explained what a watershed this day represents for us, said that we are not blameless, and even talked about the elections in France and tried to persuade them not to vote for the antisemitic Mélenchon. An important and not easy conversation during a vacation>>
Translated from HebrewI should have expected the variety of responses, and thank you for the embrace, this was written in shock. Regarding my answer about Palestine. I am not sorry and I am not apologizing, and I will explain why. The previous evening I met two tourists from Paris and we started talking. One of them introduced herself, after I said that I was from Israel, as being “from Palestine.” It was clear that this was said in response, and we developed a long conversation>>
Translated from HebrewTwo hours after an antisemitic incident at a tiny museum on one of the Greek islands, I am beside myself. An elderly woman with a child suddenly approached me and asked whether we speak Hebrew. I replied with a smile that we do. She started shouting at me that she supports Palestine. I quietly replied that my family has been in this land for 250 years and that there is no such thing as Palestine. Not an argument or a discussion, but persecution>>
Translated from HebrewEveryone is busy with Goldschmidt and Co. when the only question of interest today is whether he knew something or not. That is the only important question. State commission of inquiry immediately
Translated from HebrewI love @KElharrar very much and have seen her work up close. I am telling you, few people—without special needs—are capable of working like this woman. When she was pregnant with Yonatan, I sat beside her during difficult and complex legislation and tried to suggest that she maybe rest a little and well… Her heart and unique perspective will be missed in the Knesset.
Translated from HebrewThe attorney general’s decision regarding the reduction of fuel prices is wise and balanced. Despite the “election economics” evident in the move, this is a unique extreme event, and it is good that she authorized it.
Translated from HebrewWhat madness it is that the great Oz Davidian has to be brought back, who says that although it was hard for him, he had to come to Studio 12 today to describe exactly what happened with Yair Golan on 7/10. I do not remember such a consensus in the studio regarding the madness of the accusations. @bokeralmog @arik3000 @ishaycoen
Translated from HebrewAs far as I recall, I have never referred to the lady or the family. This is an internal decision. But enough of malicious, life-threatening conspiracy theories. The connection between the hair salon (a terrible mistake) and Golan's courage on 7/10—the construction and reinforcement of a conspiracy—is disgusting and will certainly increase the threat to his life when he is unprotected. What @akivanovick
Translated from HebrewWe no longer have little ones at home, and somehow my sleep wanders every night before 1/9. It goes deeper than the question of what their coming school year will be like. I worry about their lives here in our beloved country in the future, and the beginning of another school year is a step forward toward the army, studies, and life. May our children have a good year
Translated from HebrewI had the privilege of meeting the amazing Rivka Chikutai, Rabbi Ovadia’s daughter, for the first time in my life in 1996, when I accompanied Leah Rabin, of blessed memory. I had already had the privilege of getting to know the wonderful Adina more closely and appearing alongside her more than once. They represent their father in such a worthy way; they are exactly what Rabbi Ovadia intended Shas to be.
Translated from HebrewWith all due respect to espionage by minors on behalf of Iran—very troubling indeed—the scariest thing happening is *violence* by minors toward other children, adults, and people in general. Simply horrifying. At the start of the school year, this is the most frightening thing of all—there doesn’t seem to be any enforcement, let alone deterrence. Maybe the opposite, if you look at the idiot chair of the Education Committee, for example.
Translated from HebrewThese days, at this time, two years ago, our brothers were murdered after being brutally kidnapped by monsters. We stood in the square as a wave of rumors swept over us, and felt ourselves falling apart. We will never forget *all* the hostages who returned in coffins, and we will carry Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Alex Lubnov, Almog Sarusi, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, and Uri Danino with us
Translated from HebrewMy children are grown, and there are enough challenges, but August isn't one of them. I just saw sweet little girls in school uniforms, Haredi of course, already with a daily routine, who returned to school on 1 Elul, and it drives one crazy. If anything, the discrimination is against state education. And this isn't only about Kish, but about one distortion after another, and we simply kept silent. Terrible.
Translated from HebrewWow, the very comparison between the memorial ceremony for Maran Ovadia Yosef and the anniversary of the assassination of Prime Minister Rabin!! I did not see you jumping up last week when the army decided not to conduct tours at the Rabin Center until the elections—in a period when remembering and reminding are most important. On the day the Maran law passed, I said that I, too, would have voted in favor, but there is a limit. @ishaycoen
Translated from HebrewHow do I say this gently, and I know exactly where I was and what I did on 12/10 too, I didn't even dream of sitting by a pool for many, many months after 7/10
Translated from HebrewShabbat isn't over yet, but let it be clear to the scum in the pickup trucks, the supposed kippah-wearers and Shabbat-observers: you are terrorist scum who will destroy the settlement enterprise in Judea and Samaria and the State of Israel ! The fact that they are not in administrative detention, and are not being investigated, stains every Israeli. And one more thing. To every Israeli and Jew in the world who saw 7/10 - white pickup trucks ??
Translated from HebrewIt was so important to me to write about the good moments that I accidentally forgot that Shira and Eli Albag married off Liri’s number-one sister and Keith and Aviva Siegel got to marry off Shir. Please add whoever I forgot to write about because of all the love and excitement.
Translated from HebrewEli-H Cohen and Ziv Avod got married. Emily Damari and Daniel Amit got married. Elkana and Rivka Bohbot welcomed a new little sister for Raam. Romi Gonen, Evyatar David and Omer Shem Tov were privileged to stand alongside brothers and sister at their wedding. We all carry so much sadness, but there is so much hope and light here, so much.
Translated from HebrewDestroyer of the state, yes, yes, this criminal good-for-nothing who stands there for 5 minutes with a hammer and can't do anything to the monument, this pathetic wretch, the well-arsonist who has never done a single good thing for another Israeli in his life, this utter nothing who has *again* endangered soldiers. Just don't you dare say “bad apples,” you villain
Translated from HebrewI remembered that when they announced the search for the Altalena, I wrote a column at @ynet. You’re invited to read it
