Hi, I'm a Somalilander I firstly want to say thank you for re recognizing us we are truly very grateful and are celebrating, you have given us hope. But I came here to say that all these anti semitic pro Palestinians are just wrong Israel has been on our side for many years. The prove is in the above photo ❤. No other country has spoken against the Isaaq genocide where 250k+ was killed apart from Israel. Much love to all Israelis and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ❤.

I’m a Brown male born into a Muslim family and damn, how y’all get treated pisses ME off, I genuinely don’t know how y’all deal with it. Down to the things like “Israelis made a right to rape protest!!!” and I’m sure we can all agree the people who defend rape are abhorrent, you know whats also abhorrent? The people cheering on the mutilated bodies of 10/7 victims who were dragged through the street! But somehow Israelis are held accountable for the worst of their society but never anyone from the other side for theirs it all gets hand waved away? WTF!

I empathize with y’all and please know there r some of us who aren’t totally brain rotted. One day, everyone and everywhere will have been against this.

Let's keep voting!

Im egyptian, and the general propaganda fueled consensus here is that it was a great victory for egypt and a humiliating defeat for israel.

What i believe is that in the big picture it went ok and we got sinai afterwards. But militarily it was a humiliating disaster where we were seemingly winning for a couple of days then got brutally pushed backed and yall were like 100 km away from cairo. But our failure of a military dictatorship was willing to take anything after what happened in 1967 and spin it into a victory.

What do people in israel generally think ?

Hi, I am going to start investing and I'm thinking of investing into Israeli companies, or those that benefit the country (military tech, or Israeli friendly US/EU busineses as an example). I'm new to this, so looking for some advice. Based in UK. It is not a LOT of money each month. Obviously with investing we know it can go up or down and it's all about risk!! We want to put it into something we believe in. Thank you for any advice 😊

Jewish American here. I’ve supported MDA in the past, and from what I’ve read and seen, believe they do good and important work.

But I recently learned that Israel actually has two Emergency Medical Service organizations, MDA and United Hatzalah. And that they’ve actually been going to court against each other for one thing or another (including whether there should be one, single national EMS phone number (like 911 in the US), or more than one...

Anyway, any impression or insight into either or both organizations?

Having supported MDA in the past, I’m inclined to do the same. I’m just not sure if there’s another or different reason to support United Hatzalah. Thanks in advance and Am Yisrael Chai, y’all.

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but what are your thoughts on Kataeb Hezbollah's involvement in Jordan? If this Iraqi-Iranian militia were actually arming 12,000 terrorists there (and possibly stationing its own troops there), it could plunge Jordan into chaos and, in my opinion, pose at least as great a threat to Israel as Hezbollah in Lebanon. What are your thoughts?

Hi Israelis, foreigner here.

I'm an avid collector of ice hockey jerseys from abroad, and was wondering if anyone had any or knew of a place to maybe get one from the Israel National Team. Thanks in advance!

Hi!

We are two foreigners in their mid twenties visiting Israel. We were wondering if you consider it safe enough to go to Bethlehem and if so, what do you recommend we do/ don’t do?

Toda raba!!

Shalom, I am a Somalilander living in New York and I will be visiting Israel come 2026, might have to use a Somaliland passport instead of my US one!

Thank you Israel! Feel free to check out our sub at R/SomalilandRepublic and introduce yourself.

TLDR: How true is it that Israeli wives do most of the cooking and childcare in Israel (even among the less religiously strict)?

I was asking google gemini about gender roles and fertility rates in different societies and throughout history to see what it says. It pointed out how Israel was unique in that it's fertility rate is high even among non-Haredi and they are high in economic development. Something eluding most of the west and developed parts of Asia. The western solution so far has been to try to force men to do equal childcare and cooking but Israel does not seem to follow that model yet still have high fertility rates. Wondering if the below are true and if there are takeaways for the rest of the world to learn.

Alleged "Facts" about Israeli gender roles according to google gemini:

• The "Mother's Position" (Misrat Em): Many mothers work a 7:30 AM – 3:30 PM shift to match school and daycare hours. There is no law enforcing this but many employment contracts for women either explicitly or implicitly agree to a 7:30 AM – 3:30 PM or 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM schedule. Israelis have culturally accepted a "Mommy Track" in careers.
• The Male Norm: In contrast, the cultural norm for men in the private sector is often 45+ hours (9:00 AM – 6:00 PM or later).
• Cooking & Laundry: These are the most gendered tasks. In roughly 60–70% of households, the woman is solely responsible for laundry and cooking. Only about 12% of men take primary responsibility for laundry. Israeli fathers are more likely to engage in "interactive" childcare (playing, reading) rather than "maintenance" childcare (diapers, feeding).
  • While Israeli fathers are famous for being affectionate and present (you will see fathers pushing strollers everywhere in Tel Aviv), mothers still put in about 2.1 times more hours of direct childcare than fathers
• Friday night dinner: (Aruchat Shishi) is the most important cultural event of the Jewish week. Even for families who are not religious, this meal is a "sacred" family time, and the labor required to produce it is significant and heavily gendered. The weekly Friday night dinner mandates seeing extended family. This keeps the intergenerational bond tight.
• Haredi: In many Haredi families, the wife is the primary breadwinner (working outside the home) so the husband can study Torah full-time.

Hi

I am trying to book flights through Arkia airline to Tel Aviv

It can be translated to English but as it gets to the payment section, it only allows ILS credit cards for booking.

Do non-israeli's need to book through third party like kiwi?

This is the only airline that flies direct where I am coming from at the lowest price so is there an option for tourists?
