TBH I'm not even sure why I did this, but got too far into the rabbit hole.

Open to suggestions for how many parts it has to be split up into and how to best split it or organize it as it's a giant mess.

Hasn't even gone through a single edit yet, so it's still raw. Please don't share the link yet.

Surely there must be some voices that realize the hard that Hamas is inflicting on their cause?

Maybe all the hateful comments are mostly from Russian troll farms, but the comments on anything we post on Instagram or TikTok are just shocking.
Maybe leave out "all"

"$770,000 has been raised from DansDeals readers for our Tefilin campaigns!"

Watch out, people will accuse you in turning down additional money to keep it at a symbolic figure  :)

(I know... for sure you topped it up to that figure)

I just skimmed the whole thing. It's very long, but I personally don't think it's too long for one post. But having 90 items in the table-of-contents can scare people off. Maybe put all the "shorts" into one listing on the TOC.

Alternatively, split the post into two posts, but released them the same day. I don't think there is a reason to wait a prolonged period in between.

About organizing it, I think part of the beauty of these types of posts are the randomness of it. These are a bunch of random tidbits that were curated by Dan. There is no reason to make it any more cohesive than it is now.

Under "Hamas exists to sell itself, you silly girl"This was written twice:


Hamas continues to use it's civilians as human shields

'In loose terms, it's the only army in history that has wanted its enemy to kill its own civilian population. The reason being so that it can see Israel delegitimized, vilified, isolated' Col. (Ret.) @COLRICHARDKEMP says pic.twitter.com/EV9IClFOq6

I've been reading it for most of an hour and a half.
The links are rabbit  holes.  Really good ones.
Great compilation of so many of the different aspects of the current situation.

For the full treatment, I take 100 shekel an hour, but here's a few basic corrections (bear in mind I can't see the social media links):
Quote
Maybe all the hateful comments are mostly from Russian troll farms,
Use 'all' OR 'mostly' but not both. Pashtus 'mostly' is better in this context, so drop 'all'.

Quote
While the Nazis tried to erase and hide their atrocities, Hamas used body cameras gleefully documenting their crimes against humanity to score propaganda points. It’s a level of evil that the world had never seen before.
I would write 'Hamas gleefully used body cameras to document their crimes against humanity and score...'
Either 'It was a level... that the world had never seen...' or 'It's (or It is) a level... that the world never saw...'

Quote
There were calls for a ceasefire even before Israel responded. That ignored the reality that there already had been a ceasefire on 10/6.

Quote
Surely there must be some voices that realize the hard damage that Hamas is inflicting on their cause?

Quote
Indeed, the speeches seem to become more tempered with each passing day, as the 10/7 attacks fade into memory.
Watered down, I would say.

Quote
We’re lucky that the President is as supportive as he is given that staff.
This needs to be spelled out better. Maybe 'despite his staff.'

I'm still reading.

Of course in the end the hospital wasn’t even destroyed, it was a parking lot that was mildly damaged.
'Naturally, it turned out that the hospital wasn’t even destroyed - in the end, it was merely a parking lot ...'

Quote
Israel accepted a 2 state solution in 1947 and countless times afterward. “From the river to the sea” is simply not compatible with a 2 state solution, it inherently calls for 1 state, one that is Judenrein, just as happened in every other Arab country.
Just pointing out that Hamas was founded as a breakaway from the PLO, when the latter group seemed inclined to accept (or even pretend to accept) a two-state solution. In their founding charter, Hamas maintained that Islam allows for nothing other than the complete eradication of the Jewish state (R"L), and therefore, they utterly reject any two-state solution.

Quote
And maybe the UN should look at what it’s own schools are perpetuating?
No apostrophe.

Quote
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks: Anti-zionism is Anti-semitism

Quote
Congress stands with Israel…at least most of them.
Space missing. Also I would put 'most of them' before 'at least'.

Quote
They were asking, "Where are the Jews?"

Quote
Obviously all Russia cares about is diverting attention from its own war crimes, but hey, if Russia was supporting Israel, we’d have to question if we were on the right side of this!
Touche!

All done for now. Don't worry, I won't get insulted if you don't listen.
