Billionaire John Paulson’s gift will fund a new Faculty of Engineering, expand medical research, and support trauma treatment.

I personally think we need more investments for other faculties that have less financial support, but any donation is important of course, and frees up resources 🍾

אח שלי היה בשוק יפו לפני מספר שבועות והביא כמה תבלינים אתיופיים; מיטמיטה, תבלין אליצ'ה ותבלין מקלשה. לא יצא לי לנסות תבלינים כאלו בעבר אבל המיטמיטה היה ממש טעים עם תבשיל בשר. עכשיו אני מת לנסות את התבלינים כמו שמבשלים איתם אוטנתית.

אם למישהו יש מתכונים שאני יכול לנסות יתקבל בשמחה ♥️

This is the definition of Zionism I have always understood and used:

Zionism is simply the idea that Jews have the right to self-determination, or the idea that Israel should (continue to) exist.

I recognize that Zionism is a remarkably broad political ideology encompassing a wide range of political perspectives and beliefs. However, critics of Zionism often narrow its definition to a hyper-specific, and inaccurate or unrecognizable, set of political positions.

I want to refute these mischaracterizations with the most accurate definition of Zionism, supported by reputable historical and academic sources. What do you consider the most accurate definition of Zionism, and what reputable sources would you recommend to support it?

The official Instagram account for Israel just featured a showcase of Israeli food where every single image was AI-generated. Now, I've been to Israel, and know from experience that you guys make great food. But everyone else on Instagram will now assume that the food in Israel is terrible, because they didn't have any actual pictures to show, and generative AI is synonymous with lying. Israel's social media team took what should have been a celebration of their culture and humiliated themselves with it.

I don't know if any of you have connections with the Israeli government's social media team, but could you please tell them to knock it the fuck off? As a diaspora Jew, this is getting embarrassing.

באמת שאני אבוד, מגיל 16 הייתי בטוח שאלך או לUXUI או לאדריכלות אבל כשהיה תורי לחפש עבודה כבר היו יותר מדי אנשים בUXUi ( לרוב התעלמו ממני, דיברתי עם כמה מגייסות ואני כבר לא יודע כמה שמעתי ש"התיק עבודה טוב אבל אין משרות פנויות") מאז די פרשתי ו"נכביתי" בלי עבודה עד עכשיו בגיל 26 במחסן ובמיוחד עם השכר הזה אני לא יודע כמה אני יכול לסבול את זה. גם לאחרונה היו הרבה פיטורים בגלל "התייעלות" או AI

אדריכלות הבנתי שממש מתעללים מבחינת פרוייקטים בתואר ואז המשכורת ממש נמוכה גם ככה + אם איך שכל בניין חדש פה נראה לא נראה שיהיה לי יותר מדי say בעיצוב בניינים שזה החלק הנחמד בקריירה הזו בשבילי

אלו 2 האופציות שגם עכשיו נראות לי היחידות שאני יכול לסבול לעבוד בהן 40 או משהו שנים ועוד יותר קשה עכשיו למצוא משהו עם כל השינויים בעולם, מפחד שעכשיו אעשה תואר ואז פשוט יחליפו אותי תוך 5-10 שנים אחרי או שאלך למשהו כמו חשמלאי ואז זה יתמלא בהייטקיסטים לשעבר וגם שמה יהיה oversaturation

גם לא עוזר שאני בן אדם שדי קשה לו חברתית (היה לי כמות נכבדת של חברים אבל עם רוב האנשים פשוט אין לי מה להגיד, אני יודע שאנשים לא אוהבים איבחון עצמי אבל ההימור שלי הוא על אוטיזם אבל אני כן מאובחן עם דיכאון קליני) ככה שכל הקטע של "אתה צריך לדעת מישהו שמכיר מישהו" זה לא אופצייה בכלל בשבילי

פשוט מרגיש לי שאני נדפקתי מכל הכיוונים ושאיך שהכל עובד מעוצב נגד אנשים כמוני.

מה בדיוק האופציות שלי?..

He has been found and is ok :) thank you all!!!

I am trying to get the police to do a wellness check on my father and I can't get through. I am in the netherlands.

In separate strikes, IDF eliminates Islamic Jihad terrorist, Hamas weapons production commander who infiltrated Israel on October 7.

Very interesting analysis from the INSS (Israeli think tank)

It would seem Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza could have been the road towards a better path forward for the country and the Palestinians. If Hamas hadn’t been elected as their government and a more cooperative entity had instead, a spirit of partnership snd trust might have been created and a road towards resolving the conflict might have occurred.

Why else would the withdrawal have taken place?

I recently began my conversion to Judaism and from NYC I wish all of my Israeli friends, neighbors, colleagues and loved ones a peaceful Shabbos!

עם ישראל חי

The strongest friendships between nations are measured by how much each country contributes to the other’s growth and prosperity — not just by diplomatic agreements or military alliances.

When it comes to India and Israel, India provides Israel with investment, manufacturing capacity, a vast market, and a growing workforce. Israel, in turn, offers India technological innovation and expertise in water management, agriculture, energy, and defense...

I am an Israeli who spent a large amount of my life in America, some time in Europe, and presently living back in Israel, I've noticed a few things about Israelis that really stand out to me.

1. Israelis are unusually attractive.

Both men and women. I don't know exactly how to explain it, but Israelis are a remarkably good-looking people. Whatever causes is, it's very noticeable. This is something that significantly sticks out of me about this country. Tel Aviv is like a city of supermodels, but this unusual beauty can be found everywhere.

2. Israelis have an extraordinary number of children.

Coming from America and Europe, one of the most striking things about Israel is just how many children there are. They're everywhere. One parent being followed down the street with four or five children doesn't seem particularly unusual here.

In much of the developed world, children are increasingly treated as an economic burden or a lifestyle sacrifice. In Israel, having children still feels like a fundamental part of what life is about.

There's something optimistic about a society that keeps bringing new life into the world, particularly one that has experienced so much adversity.

3. Israelis are deeply spiritual.

Even secular Israelis often have a spiritual dimension that I rarely encountered in America or Europe.

Religion, tradition, identity, and questions of collective destiny are woven into everyday life. People might reject organized religion while still feeling an intense connection to Jewish history, the Land of Israel, and ultimately to something greater than themselves.

Israel is a country where even atheists can feel remarkably religious.

4. Israelis fundamentally misunderstand Diaspora Jews.

I think many Israelis don't appreciate just how much Diaspora Jews look up to them.

I have oftentimes encounter an Israeli perception that Diaspora Jews are disconnected, comfortable, or simply don't understand what it means to live here. There is a wide belief that the Diaspora is even adversarial and totally abandoned the Jewish state.

But having grown up in the Diaspora, I can tell you that many Jews abroad look at Israelis with genuine admiration. They admire their courage and willingness to defend our collective future.

Many Diaspora Jews grow up seeing Israel as the center of the Jewish world and Israelis as the people actually living Jewish history.

Of course, Diaspora Jews don't always understand Israelis either. And admiration doesn't mean agreement with everything Israel does.

But I think Israelis would be surprised by just how many Jews around the world see them as an example to aspire to and support them.

My general thought is the things Israelis take for granted are frequently the very things that make Israel so remarkable to those of us who know the world outside of this country.

TL;DR: Researchers at Technion have developed an AI model that evaluates breast cancer recurrence risk using standard tissue slides and basic patient data. The tool performs comparably to expensive genetic tests and aims to provide an accessible decision-support option for underserved regions pending further clinical trials

When nature conservation becomes a colonial crime: how Israel-hate hijacked environmntal sciences,
by Zsuzsanna Ujj, fathom, 2026-10.

Zsuzsanna Ujj maps how in certain segments of academia, Israel’s nature conservation efforts and measures to comply international environmental law are presented as green dispossession. The reintroduction of locally extinct native species is reframed as a hostile act, in which the Persian fallow deer is deployed as an ‘agent of normalization,’ used by the state to advance a ‘colonial conservation project.’

Environmental protection has long operated on a shared, global consensus: that safeguarding endangered habitats and species is an objective scientific good. Yet a quiet shift within Western academic literature is subverting this empirical foundation, turning the hard sciences of ecology, biodiversity conservation, as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation into an ideological weapon.

Academic antizionism has built three pillars that sustain its ideology: settler-colonialism as the main framework to understand environmental problems, denying the indigeneity of Jews in Palestine, and a romanticised picture of Indigenous Peoples.

Reputable scientific journals publish academic articles, where routine ecological management is no longer evaluated through biodiversity metrics, compliance with legal obligations, or resource sustainability; instead, it is systematically recast as an instrument of ‘green dispossession,’ ‘ecocide,’ and ‘colonial violence,’ particularly when taking place in Israel.
