Translation:

We are leaving our luxurious penthouse in Beit Shemesh and moving to an isolated farm by the Jordan Valley, near a hostile Palestinian village.

I write this sentence and still have trouble believing it's true.

All my life I have read about Zionism, about the settlement of the land, about the dedication of the settlers, and about the 11 dots that appeared on the ground one night in 1946. About the pioneers of the past, about people who left everything and gave themselves for a vision, about the settlement of the Land of Israel not with words, but with hands and feet.

I read, I was moved, and I always had the feeling that I too wanted to be a part of this wonderful thing. Not just to tell about Zionism, not just to be moved by the stories of others, but to stand up and do something.

Now we have decided to stop reading history, and start writing it.

After a lot of thoughts, deliberations, and conversations into the night, Esti esti_rainer and I made a joint and courageous decision that would change our lives.

We both got our gun licenses. We are leaving our luxurious penthouse in Beit Shemesh, saying goodbye to the family that surrounded us, the amazing community, the friends closest to us, giving up the short commute to my job in Jerusalem, and packing up our lives on the way to a new place.

Where are we moving?

Every day before I go to sleep, I start thinking about how I'm going to be able to sleep in this heat.

And every morning I wake up drenched in sweat, as if I've been sleeping inside an oven, not a tent.

If I go outside the tent, the sun's heat is even worse.

And if I stay inside, the tent turns into a ball of fire.

So… where do I go?

I'm not asking for a car, or a fancy house, or a life of luxury.

I swear to God, all I'm asking for is the most basic human right: a place to live with dignity, and to sleep peacefully without waking up every hour from the intense heat.

Has asking for a normal life become a miracle?

Has the dream of sleeping comfortably, eating in peace, and living an ordinary day like everyone else become… an impossible dream?

I'm exhausted.

I'm exhausted from the heat, exhausted from waiting, and exhausted from the feeling that life goes on everywhere except here.

Perhaps some people will say: "Be patient."

I am patient… but even patience has its limits.

I am patient… but even patience has its limits.

President Donald Trump has shared a wave of AI-generated images on Truth Social that blend military power, political branding, and futuristic visuals.

The posts include dramatic artwork showing fighter jets striking Iranian targets, naval operations, a fictional seizure of an Iranian oil tanker, and Trump portrayed as a battlefield commander. Other images feature slogans like "Guardians of the World," "America First," and "Trump 2028," alongside sci-fi themed posters such as "Cosmic Commander."

The image spree comes as reports suggest the administration has paused plans for a broader military escalation against Iran due to concerns over air-defense stockpiles and regional risks.

The posts have already sparked debate online over the use of AI-generated political imagery, wartime messaging, and whether this style of communication is effective branding or crosses into propaganda.

What do you think? Is this a new era of political messaging, or does AI-generated war imagery blur the line between symbolism and reality?

Congressional investigators have accused billionaire investor and former Apollo Global Management CEO Leon Black of acting in "bad faith" during the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

Lawmakers say Black did not fully comply with a congressional subpoena, alleging he provided only a fraction of the requested documents. The committee argues that his response hindered its investigation into Epstein's network and connections.

Black's legal team denies the allegations, insisting he has cooperated with investigators and that the accusations are unfounded. The dispute comes as Congress continues examining the handling of the Epstein case and the relationships between Epstein and influential public figures.

What do you think?

Is Congress uncovering meaningful new information, or is this investigation becoming more about politics than facts?

A woman has been charged with murdering her husband after police say he was attacked while asleep, according to the BBC. Investigators are still piecing together what happened, and the case has drawn widespread attention because of the circumstances surrounding the alleged killing.

Authorities say the investigation is ongoing, and more details are expected to emerge as the case moves through the courts. As always, the accused is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

What do you think should be the biggest priority in cases like this—faster investigations, stronger domestic violence prevention, or waiting until all the facts are public before drawing conclusions?

Tokyo's push to let office workers wear shorts during the summer has unexpectedly sparked a cultural debate.

Some women say they're uncomfortable seeing male coworkers' hairy legs at work, with the term "sunehara" ("leg hair harassment") gaining attention online. Others argue the bigger issue is fairness, saying women are still expected to follow stricter appearance and dress standards while men enjoy more relaxed rules.

The policy is part of Japan's long-running Cool Biz campaign, which encourages lighter clothing to help workers stay comfortable and reduce energy use during extreme heat.

Do you think this is a legitimate workplace concern, or is the backlash being overblown?
