Dear Westerners who want the suffering in Gaza to end, and want its people to thrive:
I fully agree with you, and I share this noble goal.
Imagine what Gaza could look like if a leadership that believes in peace and prosperity took over.
Until that day comes, keep pointing your finger at the real issue: Hamas still refuses to disarm, and still plans to murder Jews and commit war crimes against Israelis.
Gaza could become the Dubai or Singapore of the region if such leaders emerge but that can't happen while Hamas is in control.

La idea que tiene la ONU sobre sus «funcionarios públicos».
El tipo de referentes «morales» que tiene Pedro Sánchez como para otorgarle la Orden del Mérito Civil, una condecoración oficial de la nación —y no una distinción de un partido o de una ideología— cuya finalidad es premiar (sic) «servicios relevantes al Estado, trabajos extraordinarios, provechosas iniciativas o una conducta ejemplar en beneficio de la sociedad».

I am delighted to announce that our study, “Debunking the Genocide Allegations: A Reexamination of the Israel-Hamas War,” has just been awarded the prestigious Bernard Lewis Prize by the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa (ASMEA).
I am happy beyond words and would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my co-authors, Jonathan Boxman, Yagil Henkin, and Jonathan Braverman, as well as to the many colleagues and friends who helped us along the way with their criticism, advice, and encouragement.
As I said at the award ceremony, our goal is not merely to refute what we regard as an antisemitic blood libel. It is also to defend the foundations of rigorous scholarship: the painstaking examination of primary sources, the critical evaluation of evidence, and the pursuit of historical truth. Equally important, we seek to defend the project of International Humanitarian Law against fundamentalist interpretations that undermine its original purpose and ultimately dilute its meaning. See full link to our study below.
Since completing the original study, we have continued to expand our research in several directions. We have published an article in War on the Rocks examining the operational logic of urban warfare (see link below); prepared a forthcoming study drawing on declassified internal Hamas documents to expose the military misuse of hospitals in Gaza; and conducted an extensive investigation into humanitarian aid, food supplies, and the famine that never was. It will be published soon as well. These follow-up studies reflect our continuing commitment to rigorous, evidence-based research on some of the most contentious issues surrounding the war. And there is much more to come.
This award is a tremendous honor, and an encouragement to continue this work.

The Labour party’s useful idiot @Ed_Miliband is happy to be used as a tool to spread propaganda.
Europe is literally burning but Miliband wants us to look away.
Never-mind the terrorist supported and fabricated cause of Palestinism that @Ed_Miliband is promoting, the UK needs to focus on what these sick politicians have allowed, and encouraged to occur.

Chemicals on a Jewish journalist's car: silence.
A record 135 assaults on UK Jews in six months, says CST: silence. Press freedom with a guest list.

I’ve been told by very highly esteemed journalists that you are legend. They say you’re an absolute giant. The BBC are deficient, mentally. You are exceptional

This is a German kid who pulls down the German flag in front of the Reichstag, hoists the Palestinian flag, and then proudly gives interviews.
He thinks he is a hero, but he is one example of deluded generations indoctrinated to hate their country.
Millions like him exist in France, the UK, and sadly the US.
Time for the West to wake up.
No Palestinian would take down his flag and replace it with German or British, French, or American ones.
Stop being useful idiots.

Die Reichspogromnacht geschah mitten in der deutschen Gesellschaft. Nachbarn sahen zu. Menschen schwiegen. Viele schauten weg, während jüdische Geschäfte verwüstet, Synagogen angezündet und Juden brutal angegriffen, verfolgt und ermordet wurden.
88 Jahre später müssen jüdische Eltern in Deutschland wieder Angst haben, ihre Kinder zur Schule zu schicken. Jüdische Studierende werden an Universitäten angefeindet und angegriffen. Jüdische Geschäfte werden boykottiert. Jüdisches Leben wird wieder zur Zielscheibe.
Der 9. November erinnert uns nicht nur daran, was damals geschah. Er verpflichtet uns, heute Verantwortung zu übernehmen.
Gedenken und Sonntagsreden allein reichen nicht. Wir müssen unsere Stimme erheben, wenn andere schweigen. Nicht nur am 9. November, sondern an jedem einzelnen Tag.

REVEALED: The scandal surrounding Gaza's failed winterization efforts lays bare a grim reality: Hamas obstructed attempts to protect Palestinian civilians before the devastating winter storms that flooded tens of thousands of tents.
Palestinian Authority employees inside Gaza have reported that professionals from the Ministries of Public Works and Relief Affairs were intimidated, summoned, and coerced by Hamas into signing pledges not to undertake humanitarian projects without the group's approval. According to their accounts, those who defied Hamas risked so-called "field justice," including beatings and worse.
Several officials, including Najla Hammad, Ihab Al-Bahtiti, Khaled Abu Safiya, Wiam Aboul-Nasr, Dr. Adnan Hamouda, and Ahmed Abu Zaiter, have publicly stated that efforts to build more durable fiberglass housing and improve conditions for displaced civilians were blocked.
Another example was a proposal that was put forward to demolish several heavily damaged towers which were at risk of collapse from rainwater after extensive bombardment. According to those involved, Hamas blocked the removal of the “Bank of Palestine Tower” in Gaza City's Rimal neighborhood, reportedly arguing that it would "collapse from the rain anyway." The terrorist group did not show any concern for the civilian lives that would be lost when the tower eventually collapses on its own, because it wants dead Palestinians and news of tragedy to keep Gaza in the news cycle and to gain global sympathy, hoping for more incoming resources and donations for the Strip’s humanitarian and reconstruction needs that it could siphon.
Additionally, Hamas has also been accused of obstructing construction projects intended to create safer communities for displaced Gazans in southern Gaza, prioritizing political control over humanitarian relief.
This is a reminder that Gaza's suffering is not only a consequence of war. It is also the result of a fascist and ruthless governing power that repeatedly places its own interests above the welfare of the people it claims to represent. The same terror group that helped bring catastrophe upon Gaza continues to obstruct efforts to mitigate its consequences.
As floodwaters sweep through displacement camps and families endure another winter in misery, the question is unavoidable: how many Palestinian lives could have been spared had Hamas allowed humanitarian, housing, and reconstruction efforts to proceed unimpeded?

Zersplitterte Schaufenster, brennende Synagogen und Hunderte Tote: Der 9. November 1938 gilt als Zivilisationsbruch. Heute vor 88 Jahren wurden bei den Novemberpogromen der Nationalsozialisten mehr als 1300 Menschen ermordet.

Cuando llegué en el 95, España era un gran país y una inspiración. Hoy es un país en decadencia, con una excepción: Madrid, que a diferencia de Barcelona, Bilbao y tantas otras, ha ido a mejor.
En el 95, Cataluña era la primera economía de España. Hoy lo es Madrid, con el 20% del PIB y 47.220 euros por habitante, frente a 42.492 en el País Vasco y 39.199 en Cataluña.
¿Por qué Madrid se libró de la decadencia? Porque aunque por toda España casi nadie tiene hijos y hace falta inmigración Madrid recibe sobre todo inmigración compatible: venezolanos, colombianos, peruanos y ecuatorianos, que ya hablan español y comparten nuestra cultura y religión. Porque Madrid da menos ayudas sociales y así atrae a los menos vagos. Porque cobra menos impuestos incluyendo el del patrimonio que ahora el socialismo le roba pero que esperemos que pronto se rectificará. Porque tiene más ética de trabajo en promedio. Y porque vota a la derecha: el PP gobierna Madrid desde 1995, el año en que llegué y la derecha atrae a menos vagos.
Mi esperanza es que en estas elecciones toda España gire a la derecha y termine con el cáncer socialista y nacionalista. Los socialistas crean una sociedad de vagos quejicas y así destruyen el mismo estado de bienestar que dicen defender. Los nacionalistas viven llorando de no tener su país aunque tienen enormes autonomías y apilan chiringuitos inútiles que hunden su economía sobre regulada.
Que se acabe el vago, sea español o extranjero. Estado de bienestar solo para los niños, los enfermos y los ancianos. El resto, a trabajar.
Solo trabajando se construye un gran país. Así era la España que conocí en el 95, y así espero que sea la del futuro.
El 29N, a votar a la derecha y a terminar con el tumor socialista.

Imagine being so obsessed with Israel...
Apparently, exploiting the words of Auschwitz survivors is what passes for moral authority at the UN these days.

New levels of cruelty.
Sonja Bohl-Dencker’s daughter, Carolin, was murdered at Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7.
Carolin was not Israeli. She was not Jewish. She was a German tourist.
Months later, Sonja attended a Berlin event where UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese was the guest of honor.
Afterward, Sonja described what she experienced there:
“I have never been in a room where I felt so much hatred.”
Albanese’s response? “Change medication.”
To a mother whose 22-year-old daughter was murdered. 💔

Francesca Albanese is a vile hatemonger who deliberately desecrates Holocaust memory to spread hatred against Israel. Hijacking Primo Levi’s words about Auschwitz for an antisemitic propaganda campaign is absolutely nefarious.
@FranceskAlbs must go!!

Many Jews from around the world also fought against the Nazis in WW2. And much of the Jewish economy in the Mandate for Palestine was turned over to supplying British forces fighting Rommel in North Africa. They had an immense effect on the success of Montgomery’s campaign.

A 88 AÑOS DE LA “KRISTALLNACHT”, LA NOCHE DE LOS CRISTALES ROTOS
Entre el 9 y el 10 de noviembre de 1938, en Alemania y Austria, el régimen nazi impulsó un pogrom organizado: incendió y destruyó sinagogas, saqueó comercios y viviendas, y golpeó, asesinó y detuvo a miles de judíos. Más de 30.000 hombres judíos fueron deportados a campos de concentración.
Aquel ataque marcó una escalada decisiva en la persecución que desembocaría en el Holocausto.
🕯️Recordarlo nos interpela hoy más que nunca. Exige no naturalizar los discursos de odio, permanecer atentos ante toda expresión de antisemitismo y discriminación, y alzar la voz antes de que la violencia avance.
