Mesiras Nefesh of Ori Megidish who was Kidnapped by Hamas and Rescued Will Return to the Army
💪🏽 *RESILIENCE*
Cpl. Ori Megidish, who was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 and later rescued by special forces from captivity in the Gaza Strip, will return to her army service today.
Megidish, who was an observation soldier at the Nahal Oz post, will now serve in the IDF's Military Intelligence Directorate.
The decision to return Megidish to service " stemmed from her personal desire and sense of mission to serve the country."
Civilians in northern Gaza want Hamas to continue the war and not give up.
_”Despite the fact that we are now eating animal and livestock food, we have a clear message to Hamas…
Don’t give up!
All Palestinian prisoners must be released. If there is no animal food, we will eat sand. Don’t give up on anything.!_
And we have a message to the Jews…
We have already committed October 7th and there will be October 8th and October 9th and October 10th and so on…”_
Thousands of Jewish teens gather at Ohel amid spike in antisemitic incidents
Thousands of Jewish teens from across the globe gathered at a pro-Israel rally in Times Square and at the grave of a beloved rabbi as part of the annual CTeen International Summit.
A massive crowd prayed at the grave of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson in Queens Sunday, a day after the Times Square rally, spreading handwritten, shredded prayers over his final resting place.
The Rebbe’s resting place is known for its spiritual significance, attracting over 400,000 visitors annually.
CTeen volunteer Mendel Zaklikovsky said the gathering at the grave site was significant because Schneerson was passionate about young people.
“The Rebbe was very into education. He would always talk about the potential that young adults have,” Zaklikovsky told The Post. “They are the future leaders of the Jewish world. So it’s very important that we instill in them a strong sense of Jewish pride.
“Just coming together is a very massive thing for these teenagers,” Zaklikovsky said. “There’s a lot of antisemitism, and when there are 3,000 teens coming together, it’s a big deal.”
The CTeen International Summit, hosted by CTeen, brings together teens from around the world for a weekend of prayer and workshops on topics such as antisemitism, mental health, and leadership.
This year’s theme is “Count on Me”.

Adi Zohar a pregnant Lady Shot in Mallei Adummim Describes her Miracle
Adi Zohar, who was severely injured in last week’s terror attack near Maaleh Adumim, spoke with the media Sunday about the amazing miracle she experienced.
“Thank Hashem, I am slowly recovering,” Mrs. Zohar, who is pregnant, said from her hospital bed. “I had a great miracle, and I want to focus on that. I got my life back.”
Mrs. Zohar described her harrowing experience during last week’s terror attack on Route 1, in vivid detail.
“I travel there every morning. I was waiting in the traffic jam.”
She described how she “was talking on the phone, and I noticed that the car in front of me suddenly rammed into the car ahead. I thought it was a strange accident, but within seconds the terrorist got out of the car as if he was possessed.”
“I saw his gun immediately, I started screaming to my aunt on the phone that they were going to shoot me because I had no way to avoid it. “He looked at me, I tried to slide down in my seat and I thought about my fetus and I said, ‘Shema Yisrael,’ and he fired at me, I saw blood on my shirt.”
“I didn’t feel the bullet hit me. I got out and tried to run away, and I later saw in the videos that the terrorist was close to me,” she added.
She recounted the horrific moments after she was shot. “I crawled on the ground and tried to reach other cars so they would know something happened to me, that I was hurt.”
“Because I was on all fours, most drivers didn’t open the door for me, they were scared. A nice woman let me into her car and, in the midst of the chaos, I managed to gather myself and told her, ‘I’m pregnant, they shot me, call an ambulance,'” she said.
“I experienced a miracle,” she said. “First of all, I’m still here. We’re now four days after the incident. The bullet hit in a very dangerous place, but both I and my unborn child are alive, and that’s what matters.”
Mrs. Zohar emphasized, “I had a miracle here. The shrapnel was in a dangerous place, and I and my fetus are alive. Everyone speaks about the moments before death, and that’s how I felt, and I thought about my two-year-old son who will have to grow up without me. Hashem was with me. The fact that I did not lose consciousness protected my fetus.”

All this in the great State of Washington
Except Rep. Emily Alvarado (D) dropped an amendment out of nowhere that R's weren't prepared to debate on (very out of line with procedure). The amendment is an exercise in Holocaust whataboutism:https://t.co/pAKeXTtLNk pic.twitter.com/EjzojG2U12

House Bill 2037 mandates that public schools teach the Holocaust and other genocides and augment current material on the Holocaust with a curriculum augmented by the Holocaust Center for Humanity and other agencies. Additionally, in April, International Genocide Prevention and Awareness Month, Washington public schools must also promote age-appropriate educational activities regarding the Holocaust and other genocides.
The bill was a companion to a Senate bill, introduced by Republican State Senator John Braun, following the Hamas massacre of Oct 7, to address GOP concerns that one in five Americans aged 18 to 29 don't think the Holocaust occurred.
However, once the bills were introduced, local antisemites and Hamas supporters spammed legislators demanding that the Holocaust education be watered down and focus more on other genocides.
Blink'crap under fire for reversing policy on 'settlements': "A shameful decision"
US Secretary of State Antony Blinkcrapinberg came under fire following his announcement on Friday that Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria is “inconsistent with international law”, reversing the policy of the Trump administration on the issue.
Former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman wrote on X, “Blinken is 100% wrong. I researched this for over a year with many State Department lawyers. There is nothing illegal about Jews living in their biblical homeland. Indeed, Undersecretary of State Eugene Rostow, also the Dean of the Yale Law School (who negotiated UNSCR 242), stated that Israel has the best legal claim to Judea and Samaria.”
“For Blinken to announce this in the middle of a war and when the Jewish Sabbath already has begun in Israel is unconscionable,” added Friedman.
House Speaker Mike Johnson shared Friedman’s post and wrote, “Ambassador David Friedman is absolutely correct. This is a shameful decision.”
“The Jewish people have a historic and legal right to live in the land of Israel including in Judea and Samaria - the biblical heartland. It is an absolute disgrace the Biden administration would issue this decision, especially as Israel fights terrorists on multiple fronts that seek Israel’s destruction and as more than 130 hostages remain in Gaza,” added Johnson.
“The Biden Administration must stop undermining Israel and facilitating efforts to delegitimize Israel. It is misguided and unconscionable,” he concluded.
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) wrote, “The Pompeo doctrine simply recognized reality: Judea and Samaria are the homeland of the Jewish people.”
“It’s shameful that the Biden Administration reversed this and rewarded terrorists—all to help Biden’s poll numbers in Michigan,” he added.
Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) also shared Ambassador Friedman’s post and wrote, “Ambassador Friedman is correct. The Biden Admin’s disgraceful reversal undermines a close friend while rewarding the genocidal terrorists they are fighting. It is not a legal assessment. It is a political calculation meant to appease the pro-Hamas radical left. Shameful.”
Blinken, speaking at a news conference during a trip to Buenos Aires, said the United States was disappointed by Israel's announcement on Thursday of plans to approve new housing units in Judea and Samaria in response to the shooting attack near Maaleh Adumim.
Blinken said the new construction is counterproductive to reaching an enduring peace and then added, "They're also inconsistent with international law. Our administration maintains a firm opposition to settlement expansion, and in our judgment this only weakens, doesn't strengthen Israel's security.”
Blinken thus effectively revoked the so-called “Pompeo Doctrine”, which deemed Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria “not per se inconsistent with international law.”
In 2019, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo implemented the policy, overturning a 1978 memo by State Department legal adviser Herbert Hansell, which characterized “settlements” as “illegal”
New York Times Melts Down After Israel Points Out Photographer’s Ties With Hamas
The New York Times lashed out in fury at Israel after one of its photographers was accused of being embedded with Hamas and having foreknowledge of the October 7 attack.
The photographer, Yousef Masoud, was recently given a Polk award for his work, following which the Israeli Consulate in New York sent a letter to the Polk Committee accusing the photojournalist of having deep ties with Hamas, along with another Times photographer, Samar Abu Elouf.
The letter said that Masoud had “public connections to Hamas and well-documented foreknowledge of the terror group’s plans for invasion, mortally compromising the integrity of his reporting.”
Stung by the accusation, the Times went on the attack, calling Masoud’s ties to Hamas a “fabrication” and “provably false.”
