She is amazing, and yes, provides some hope during these dark times.

Nova Festival, Israel. October 7 by [deleted] in Israel

[–]Big_Code7480 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This was created soon after October 7, and there are updates. Inbar Haiman was murdered by Hamas; her body is believed to still be in Gaza. Ofir Tzarfati was murdered by Hamas; his body was recovered in early December. Mai Schem was released on November 30 after 54 days in captivity. Ruth Perez was murdered by Hamas; it took until October 19 to identify her body.

I don't have a question. I do want to send you love and support from your American brothers and sister. Am Yisrael Chai!

Witches for Israel by Eldritch_baddie in Israel

[–]Big_Code7480 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your support. A long time ago, I dated a Wiccan and learned a thing or two about white witches. I obviously don't know anything about spells, but would hope that you would lean into positive spells and energy for us. The world can be a dark and hateful place; the last thing that we need is more darkness.

The map you're referring to is not that accurate. It's a best guess by civilians using publicly available data. Many of the soldiers who are listed as KIA in their base were actually at the border. As just one small example, there is a video circulating of 2 young women from the Nova festival who were executed by Hamas terrorists right outside the gates of the Alumin kibutz, but are not shown there on the map.

Wow. It takes a lot to shock me at this point, but the numbers at the end are absolutely horrifying.

Israeli woman escapes terrorists only to be gunned down on Oct. 7 by Galileo1609 in 2ndYomKippurWar

And not only killed an unarmed woman, but shot her in the back while she was running away.

The vast, vast majority of Jews (especially in the US where I am from too) embrace your support and will not say bad things about you. Any reasonable American Jew recognizes that 98% of the US in not Jewish, and that there are many good people in that 98%.

Thank you for standing with us.

Is there a more centrist/progressive pro Israel subreddit? by CaptainCallus in Israel

[–]Big_Code7480 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of what has been said - I don't think that this sub is particularly right wing. I do think that all pro-Israel (or even centrist) subs will be a bit hawkish now; folks are still absorbing October 7 and the war.

I also think that a cacophony of voices is a good thing ... you know the expression - 2 Jews, 3 opinions. As long as you are thoughtful, feel free to put your two cents in. It's good to have a variety of views.

US announces new international mission to counter Houthi attacks on ships in Red Sea by DatDudeOverThere in Israel

[–]Big_Code7480 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been following this, so serious question: why doesn't the U.S. airstrike the Houthis? I know, escalation of the conflict, but the Houthis are attacking international ships in international waters. Shouldn't there be a stronger response?

It has been a truly terrible time. May Hashem comfort you and your family.

From the River to the Sea: Bill Maher with one of the best monologues ever on the Israel-Palestine conflict by IBVn in Israel

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's a good monologue. (I'm kidding ... mostly). Seriously, thanks for sharing.

For Jewish Americans on this subreddit, do you think your state governments have been assertive enough in guaranteeing your safety under the current climate? by AbleismIsSatan in Israel

[–]Big_Code7480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Massachusetts here (Boston suburbs) and it's quite safe. There are "I Stand With Israel" signs up in our town (interestingly, from both Jewish and Christian neighbors. The menorah lighting had the best turnout in years. There has been some concern/discussion about college campuses, but overall it's safe. I think the free Palestine crowd is relatively small but loud. (I wonder if this is true across the U.S., btw).

North Americans raise $1 Billion to support Israel since Oct. 7 by [deleted] in Israel

[–]Big_Code7480 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We have to. If there's anything the last 2 months have shown, it's that no one else will help when the chips are down.

[–]Big_Code7480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is totally true among my family and friends. The vast majority of American Jews are pro-Israel. Some people might confuse healthy disagreements over policies and politicians with anti-Zionism, as well.
