ABE WON'T BE SILENT - My husband is in Israel. This happened to him on Friday night. WATCH.
While some of you scroll and justify terror with “context,” this was his reality.
This is what I mean when I say: The war has hit home.
Shlomi went to visit his family and friends to celebrate Gay Pride.
We see how that movie ended.
Now that the party is over, several times a day, he is rushed into bomb shelters—alarms screaming, heart pounding, life on pause. And I watch from the comfort of my Beverly Hills home—helpless. Each siren is a reminder that safety is a luxury, not a given. The psychological torture that Iran is inflicting on Israeli civilians has become a daily routine, not an abstract concept. It’s like Chinese water torture, and the residual effects better not be evident when Shlomi gets back next week.
Damn the Islamist Iranian regime. May they all suffer the same fate my grandparents did during the Holocaust.
Yet there are social media climbers who have the gall to say, “Well, it’s just deserts. After what Israel’s done to Gaza…”
Let me be brutally clear: If you think indiscriminate rocket fire on civilians is justice, you’ve confused your moral compass with your desperate, whorish, algorithmic dribble. Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields. They hoard aid and resell it at a premium to the poor, hungry, struggling Gazans. They build tunnels under hospitals and kindergartens—not for children’s safety, but for their own.
They are the reason so many innocent Palestinians are dead.
But G-d forbid you acknowledge the evil of Hamas. And psychotically enough, we see the same blithering idiots supporting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his vile, murderous henchmen. There’s a special place in burning hell for them.
Why is it always easier—weasel-ier—to hate Jews?
Instead of praying for the people you claim to support when you scream “Free Palestine,” you refuse to be honest. You won’t finish the sentence: “Free Palestine—from Hamas.” Hypocrites. Rushing to blame the only country in the region—Israel—that warns civilians before it retaliates.
Speaking of building tunnels under hospitals—last night Iran bombed the Soroka Hospital in Israel. There are no tunnels under that—or any Israeli hospital. Only bomb shelters. Safe spaces.
Breaking News: Iran accuses Israel of hiding tanks under the Soroka Hospital and posted this fake CGI image.
The Ayatollah must go.
And if you think Hamas built its tunnels for the safekeeping of Gaza’s people—think again. Those tunnels are strictly for Hamas operatives and their gross cronies. Civilians aren’t allowed in. Make that make sense.
Talk about no justice, no peace.
You want to talk justice? Let’s talk about Iran—the regime that bankrolls Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. The same regime that murdered Mahsa Amini in 2022 because a strand of her hair was showing. The same regime that regularly beats women, jails dissidents, executes LGBTQ+ people, and silences anyone who dares speak out. Iran is a terrorist regime funding violent militias across the region and openly calls for the destruction of Israel.
If you’re parroting their propaganda—knowingly or not—you’re not standing for justice. You’re siding with murderers of women simply for being seen.
So when I see women on social media justifying support for the Ayatollah, I think: You really cannot rape the willing.
Now that it’s hit home—literally and emotionally—my home—y’all are going to rue the day you stood against my loved ones and what’s right in the world.
They’re monsters. And not like Lady Gaga’s little monsters. The big, scary, horror-movie kind. The kind that needs to be destroyed like Freddy Krueger. Monsters who don’t want a free Palestine or a free Iran—they want no Jews. Anywhere. Period.
Don’t come to me with “moral equivalents.”
Don’t come to me with “context.”
Don’t ask for my empathy if you can’t find yours for people like my husband, hiding in stairwells, praying this rocket won’t be the one that hits.
We all deserve better than this—including the Palestinian and Iranian people.
Especially the ones just trying to survive.
Can they say that about Israelis?
Where is their humanity?
Oh, right. They’re devoid of it.
Warmly…ABE
PS…Sending love and light to all those in harms way. #AmYisraelChai
