The Academy of the Hebrew Language has officially renamed a species of spotted orange butterfly Kitmit Ariel—“Orange Ariel”—in honor of 4-year-old Ariel Bibas, who was brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Now, whenever this beautiful butterfly is seen in the sky, we will think of Ariel and the Bibas family.

Odai Al-Rubai, a 22-year-old Palestinian, was brutally murdered by Hamas for daring to protest its rule in Gaza. Those who claim to stand for Palestinian rights should all be raising their voices against this injustice. Silence only enables Hamas’ brutal oppression. We couldn’t agree more with Bret Stephens: Hamas must be defeated. https://lnkd.in/ewAsPEgj

Keith Siegel was starved and beaten. He was forced to witness the torture and sexual assault of female hostages by Hamas. Once a month, he was given a bucket of cold water and a small cup to “shower.” This was Keith’s reality for 484 days—the same nightmare other hostages still endure. We must bring them home now.
