Saturday night was not just a military achievement. It was a strategic message written in steel, silence, and sky - Iran’s path to the bomb has been shattered.

Our pilots, we learned, were flying 2,000 km. toward Iran. Missiles and drones from Iran and proxies would be fired at us. 

We were all preparing and bracing for what was expected to be a ballistic Shabbat in Jerusalem – as were some escaped Iranian expats and their families.

If the state embraces the tech sector as a true partner, we can emerge from this crisis stronger, more connected, and more confident in our future.

Gideon Sa’ar was quoted as terming hasbara a “consciousness warfare.” It could be that it is more. I would say it is cognitive warfare. And in war, much should be considered “fair.”

These steps allow us to maintain our personal, physical, and mental resilience – even when the reality around us remains unstable.

The past few weeks have proven that sometimes silence is more powerful than chatter. Instead of parroting narratives, reporters and analysts would do well to recognize the limits of their knowledge.

Now more than ever, the world needs an army not of soldiers holding weapons but of healers holding space – safe havens to feel, to grieve, and to heal.

Zionism is a peaceful ideology built on a Jewish tradition that seeks peace among all people. Given the chance, with a pragmatic and reasonable Palestinian leadership, Israel will end the conflict.

Shame on the French for bowing to whatever political pressure contributed to this decision, and even greater shame on our “friends” who stood by in silence.
