A London Free Palestine crowd is charging the British Library with genocide tonight for hosting a concert by three Arab and three Jewish Israeli musicians.
The boycott movement calls Arabs and Jews working together "normalization" and tries to stop it. Coexistence is the thing they are protesting, because it proves their story about Israel wrong.

67 UN Rapporteurs Lash Out: A large group of UN monitors—several of them funded by China—decry “personal insults.” But we won't be bullied into silence. They're trying to sidestep valid criticism. When UN officials defend dictators or excuse terrorism, we will call them out.
UN experts call on Member States to engage with Special Procedures in good faith and respect independence and integrity of #humanrights mechanisms. “Attacking the messenger does not discredit the accuracy of the evidence."

Leftist media won’t show you this. While Muslims are the most privileged group in the West, this is how they treat Christians in Syria and other Muslim countries.
They rape men and women, and enslave the children. Absolutely terrifying.

ATERRADOR: Rom Broslavsky relata cómo los terroristas de Hamás le metieron piedras en ambos oídos y las empujaron lo más adentro posible con un clavo, dejando las piedras y los clavos adentro una semana, torturándolo.
Hamas no tiene derecho a existir.

I AM HEARTBROKEN AGAIN. HOW MANY MORE TEARS MUST I SHED BEFORE THE WORLD HEARS OUR CRY?
I am writing these words with a heart that is bleeding. Days ago, I stood beside a mass grave in Plateau State, Nigeria, weeping over the lifeless bodies of members of my congregation whose dreams, hopes, and futures were brutally cut short. I cried until I had no more strength. I thought those tears would be enough for one lifetime.
But today, I am heartbroken again.
Four more innocent people have been killed near my church. Four more families have been thrown into mourning. Four more homes have been filled with unbearable silence. Four more people who woke up with hopes and dreams will never return to their loved ones.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS?
How many more graves must we stand beside? How many more mothers must cry over their children? How many more children must grow up asking why their fathers and mothers never came home?
And who knows whether I am next?
Who can guarantee that tomorrow I will not be the one lying in a grave while my congregation gathers to mourn me? Who will stand beside my family if the next attack takes my life?
I am a shepherd. My responsibility is to protect, pray for, comfort, and lead my flock. But what happens when the shepherd is constantly forced to bury the very people he was called to care for?
My beloved, I am tired of burying my people. I am tired of seeing innocent blood spilled. I am tired of watching children become orphans and women become widows. Must our children inherit nothing but stories of killings, mass graves, and broken families?
OUR ONLY OPTION LEFT IS TO FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL.
We cannot simply fold our hands and watch our families, communities, and future disappear. If we do not stand together, protect innocent lives, and demand urgent action, we fear that one day there may be no one left to tell our story.
Are we going to wait until an entire generation is wiped out before the world decides that our lives matter?
I am therefore making another desperate appeal to the United States Government and the American people.
Please, hear our cry. Please, help us. We are not asking for sympathy alone; we are asking for meaningful intervention to protect innocent lives, strengthen security, support displaced families, and bring those responsible for these killings to justice.
How many more innocent Nigerians must die before the international community acts with urgency?
To the world, I ask: If these were your children, your parents, your brothers, or your sisters, would silence still be an option?
I am not asking the world to remember us only when another mass grave is discovered. I am asking the world to help us while there are still lives to save.
I WILL KEEP RAISING MY VOICE. I WILL KEEP SPEAKING FOR MY PEOPLE. I WILL KEEP CRYING OUT FOR JUSTICE.
Our lives matter. Our children matter. Our future matters.
May God remember Plateau State. May God comfort every grieving family. May He protect those who are still alive and give us the strength to see another day.
Because honestly, I do not know how many more funerals this broken heart can endure.

Israeli hostage survivor Bar Kupershtein, 24, has revealed the horrific torture, starvation and psychological abuse he endured during 738 days in Hamas captivity, including being forced to dig his own grave for a propaganda video, suffering repeated beatings and losing 65 pounds (29 kg).
Kupershtein described spending most of his captivity underground with five other hostages, without daylight, proper sanitation or sufficient food.
The hostages slept on thin mattresses on the floor, dug a hole beside them to use as a toilet and were allowed to shower only once a month. Their drinking water was contaminated, while meals consisted of rice and half a pita bread with cheese, infested with maggots.
Kupershtein recalled how Hamas terrorists repeatedly told the hostages that Israel had abandoned them and wanted them dead. They were also forced to record propaganda videos praising their captors.
Following the collapse of hostage negotiations in early 2025, the abuse intensified.
"Hamas came day after day and beat us," he recalled.
During one particularly brutal assault, terrorists blindfolded Kupershtein and fellow hostage Yosef Chaim Ohana, struck him in the face, dragged him by his leg into another room and tied his legs together.
He feared they were preparing to amputate one of his legs. The beating lasted approximately 30 minutes and left him unable to stand properly for a month.
Kupershtein had been working as a security guard at the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched its massacre.
Before being kidnapped, he convinced a police commander to open an emergency exit, helping more than 2,000 festivalgoers escape. He also used an all-terrain vehicle to evacuate injured people before terrorists overran the festival.
He was eventually captured and taken into Gaza.
Despite the horrific conditions, Kupershtein said he and his fellow hostages maintained their Jewish traditions, gathering every week for Kiddush prayers using salty water instead of wine.
On October 13, 2025, after 738 days in captivity, Kupershtein was released alongside 19 other surviving hostages.
His reunion with his family was especially emotional. His father, who had lost the ability to walk following a motorcycle accident in 2019, managed to stand to welcome him home.
A year later, Kupershtein says he has learned to appreciate the simplest freedoms, including opening his refrigerator, eating whenever he wants and taking a shower.
He has since traveled internationally to share his testimony, met US President Donald Trump at the White House and published his memoir, Unbreakable.

Myriam was a 7-year-old French Jewish girl. She witnessed a terrorist break into her school and kill two of her classmates.
She tried to run but tripped while grabbing her schoolbag, causing her ballet slippers to fall out. She stopped to pick them up. He chased her and grabbed her by the hair, shooting her in the head at point-blank range.
The man was Mohamed Merah, and a rap song honoring him and other Muslim terrorists has become the unofficial anthem of the ‘student protests’ in France.

BREAKING: UN torture expert denounces colleagues Francesca Albanese and Reem Alsalem for denying October 7 atrocities and ignoring Hamas torture of Israeli hostages: “My colleagues said nothing. I felt ashamed. Their one-sided, vitriolic reports added to families’ anguish.”
Dr. Alice Jill Edwards: “The UN had done so little to help them... I felt ashamed. I am still outraged that UN special rapporteurs Francesca Albanese and Reem Alsalem never formally documented these horrors. Instead, both have continued to issue a stream of what I regard as one-sided and vitriolic reports, and hard-to-justify excuses for their lack of attention. That, families and returned hostages have told me, only added to their anguish.”

🔥 RARE MOMENT OF TRUTH AT UNITED NATIONS: As world leaders used the UN podium to condemn Israel, we invited courageous Yemeni journalist @JustLuai to tell the truth: “Our problem in the Middle East is neither Israel nor the Jews. It is the Islamist dictatorships.”

When Jews were ethnically cleansed from Arab countries, vast amounts of land and property were taken from them.
Land stolen is estimated at 100,000 km²..... 4.5 times the size of Israel. $263 billion in assets taken.
250k lived for years in tents and poverty, until they built.

Imagine seeing this daily horror and saying that the one who "needs to go" is the leader of the victim country and not the aggressor country. What moral idiocy. What cowardice.

6 years ago I left Lebanon for a normal life with my family in Amsterdam. Today, the terrorist party that destroyed my country and drove me out is glorified on Dam Square.
How is this acceptable in the Netherlands? The suicidal empathy of the European Left makes me sick!

A very interesting thing happened in Gaza today that was totally overlooked by the media.
According to merchants in Gaza, Hamas charges $3,000 for every truck that enters the strip. In addition, it requires merchants to sell approximately 30% of their goods in cash, which enables the organization to gain control over the proceeds. At 600 trucks per day, this translates to at least $1.8M per day. What can I say? Every don in Sicilia would be jealous.
Now, a merchant refused to pay this protection money and in response Hamas kidnapped his son. Following this incident, other merchants have announced they will suspend all coordination of goods entering the Gaza Strip through the private sector, effective immediately.
I have no doubt Hamas and its allies in the West are going to use this to accuse Israel of starving Gaza again, so keep your eyes open.
