Israel is preparing for Remembrance Day for the fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism, which begins on Sunday evening. The following evening, Israel celebrates its 76th Independence Day.

Official figures: 822 civilians murdered, 711 security forces killed since October 7, 2023.

132 hostages are still being held by Hamas, including 65 civilians.

The total number of security forces killed since the founding of the Jewish state is 25,034, and the number of civilians killed in terrorist attacks is 5,100.

On average, just under one death per day since the founding of the State of Israel in 1948.

The heavy price of Israelโ€™s existence.

During last night's broadcast of the Eurovision song contest, the Belgian broadcaster carrying the event opened with the above notice condemning Israel.

The Eurovision broadcaster in Belgium opened with a slide against Israel:

"We condemn the human rights violations of the State of Israel. Moreover, the State of Israel is destroying the freedom of the press. That's why we interrupt the broadcast for a moment."


Israeli contestant Eden Golan faced scattered boos as she took the stage, and anti-Israel protesters got rowdy in the streets outside the venue.

But Golan performed well, and advanced to the finals of the contest.

Hmmm, Israeli-Persian commentator Eliahu Yosian - a friend of and contributor to Israel Today - makes an interesting point...

Until 1970, we didn't receive [military] aid from America, and we were victorious.

Since 1970, we've received aid from America, and have never won.

๐Ÿ‘†Yosian's point and the problem of American military aid will be further explored in upcoming Israel Today Member articles.

Banner appearing today in "Palestine Square" in Tehran features Netanyahu with a Hitler mustache drowning in a sea of blood along with a menorah.

The Hebrew text reads: "Rafah is your end."

The addition of the menorah shows that this isn't just about the State or Israel or the current Israeli government. It's a war against the Jewish people.

Israel calls out 'satanic' Irish performance at Eurovision

Ireland's entrant in the Eurovision Song Contest, Bambie Thug, wants Israel disqualified ahead of tonight's final performance.

The duo isn't trying to get Eden Golan booted over the war in Gaza, but rather because Israel's public broadcaster called out the "satanic" nature of the Irish performance before their Tuesday night semi-final performance.
๐Ÿ™191
As Bambie Thug took the stage on Tuesday, the anchor for the Kan public broadcaster told viewers:

"There will be a lot of spells and black magic and dark clothing, Satanic symbols, and voodoo dolls."


Israeli viewers with young children were warned that the Irish performance would be "the most scary" of the night.

Bambie Thug are open satan-worshippers. Their selection to represent Ireland at Eurovision was controversial, and there was at least one petition to choose an alternative entrant.

Bamble Thug has also been vocally anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian during the current Eurovision event.
