This afternoon, in Sydney, I briefly waved an Israeli flag off to the side of a pro Palestian protest. I was on the steps of the Anglican Cathedral. I am an Anglican clergyman. I am the child of a German Jewish mother who fled the holocaust. I wanted to make a small stand against the genocidal hatred of Hamas being supported by the pro Palestinian mob. I wanted to show the Jews of Australia that Christians (who after all are simply followers of a Jew), would stand for them, and for Israel, in the face of such hatred and contempt.
On this afternoon I was chased off the steps of the Cathedral. I ran, followed by a small mob of large angry Muslims hurling abuse at me. I ran onto George St and hid behind a police van. The police dispersed the group who were looking for me.
I have not been that scared in a long, long time.
Why did I do it?
Because Australia is surely the best country in the world! Our democracy, our free speech, our rule of law, our multi-cultural diversity and acceptance of each other, our freedom of religion, and our safety make us the envy of the world. And all of that was being eroded this afternoon.
The Islamist/Jihadist strategy is to instil fear in non-muslim populations so that they will either convert to Islam, or live in dhimitude (a state of subservience to muslims). And the fear in the Jewish population in Sydney is palpable. The Police Minister, to their shame, warned the Jews to stay away from Town Hall or the Opera House because the police could not (or would not?) guarantee their safety.
I took a tiny stand because we cannot, we must not, give in to such fear. We cannot fear upsetting Islamic sensibilities and so self-censor our speech and religion and policing. We, as Jews, cannot give in to the fear that our Gentile Australian neighbours will turn against us if we 'stir up trouble' by speaking up for, and standing up for our rights as citizens. We must not cede one iota of our precious liberal, secular, democratic, pluralist state. Never again means never again.

America is importing the same Islamic garbage that destroyed the Islamic world. No country can survive this. Learn from us, for God’s sake.
New low for normalized Jew-hate in the American Democratic Party. Very sad:
Painting your political opponents as puppets of Jews, as this El-Sayed ad does, and as crazed baby-killers and money-grubbing villains who are the root cause of every bad thing not just in the world, but in your life—from wars to the price of eggs to the reason you can’t have free healthcare—is not just low-grade Jew-hate. It’s pure Third Reich stuff, translated directly from the original German.
Do you remember when Jewish Democrats in Michigan explained that they would vote for El-Sayed despite his open disdain for Jews, since there are many other important issues they need him to fight for? That anything was worth it to “defeat MAGA”?
Well, here’s El-Sayed’s answer to them: Don’t worry, all those issues we agree on, like healthcare, inflation, and climate change, I’m going to make them about Jews too! I will tell the public that the Jews are the reason they can’t have those things.
The Islamo-Marxist alliance share an apocalyptic worldview in which violence is a legitimate, even necessary, means to achieve political change. This is also a structural feature of tribalism. We have imported tribalistic Islamo-Marxism into our judeo-Christian nation states and are now discovering that reality is what you run into when you are wrong.

Every single word!
Juan Carlos Girauta Vidal, a Spanish lawyer, writer, and Member of the European Parliament👇
“You did not listen to Israel — the vanguard of the West in the face of barbarism. You chose instead to condemn its right to self-defense, whitewash its terrorist enemies, deny the horrific crimes of October 7, and spread lies about genocide. Today, those who are destroying European cities are waving the Palestinian flag.”
Pogroms in France. Jewish businesses and synagogues targeted. The barbarians have been welcomed in and now Europe is waking up to the tragic consequences. As Enoch Powell warned in 1974, this will end with blood on the streets. The Islamo-Marxist alliance are tearing down the west. Australia, it is not too late. But the clock is ticking.

Voici François-Louis Artois d’Hauteville, 15 ans, un jeune Français issu d’une ancienne lignée normande.
Il manifeste contre le manque de professeurs de philosophie dans son établissement — sa matière de prédilection. L’an dernier, un remplaçant a dû condenser en un seul semestre, à marche forcée, l’ensemble du programme consacré à Hegel et à Kant.
François a été le seul de sa classe à tenir le rythme : il avait déjà lu La Phénoménologie de l’esprit. Ses camarades, eux, peinaient à suivre, découvrant à peine cette œuvre en parallèle de la Critique de la raison pure.
Il a bien tenté de les aider après les cours, mais ces séances empiétaient sur ses engagements bénévoles dans une maison de retraite et sur ses leçons de violoncelle.
Voilà pourquoi, sur cette photo, il consulte sur son téléphone un cours consacré à la lecture des partitions et aux fondements de la musique classique.😇🇫🇷

Soon Europe will realize that, in order to survive, it will have to become Israel, because its enemies already see it as Israel. But when that happens, the continent that stabbed Israel in the back for defending itself will defend itself in ways far less moral than Israel ever did.

Breaking: "As retired senior military leaders and legal experts, on this, the third anniversary of Hamas's October 7, 2023 brutal attack on Israel, we reject claims that Israel committed genocide in Gaza." @jinsadc
I am honored to be a part of 76 retired U.S. officers (including 13 Generals, 27 Lieutenant Generals, 19 Major Generals, 5 Brigadier Generals) Refuting the Genocide Allegation Against Israel.

"The precedent established today regarding Israel will shape the conditions under which American forces fight tomorrow. Protecting civilians and preserving the ability of our nation to defend itself requires us to defend the truth when the laws of war are being distorted to make false charges of genocide."

When I left Islam, I committed apostasy. I was dehumanized and tortured for it.
I couldn’t believe the evil my own people were capable of.
@liamtuffs1 asked a Muslim on his podcast: “so if someone left Islam, you’d kill em?”
His response confirms what happened to me.
Australians need to take a long hard look at the Islamo-Marxist alliance in Europe and decide if we want to allow this cancerous movement to continue to grow in our beautiful country. It’s not too late, but the window of opportunity to cut out the cancer is closing. Already our country is not safe for Jewish Australians. Unchecked will mean safety and social cohesion will be but a memory for all of us.

The last two days in France outstrip in violence, chaos, looting, arson, and destruction—by several factors—the entire history of any real incidents of “settler violence” committed by Jews who live in Judea and Samaria.

When I was about five or six years old, my uncle, who had never been religious and had lost all his wealth in a bad business deal in Kuwait after the Gulf War, decided to return to Allah and become a devout Muslim.
I remember he went to Pakistan or Afghanistan for six months on a mission trip.
When he came back, the first thing he did was drag our huge TV outside and throw it in the garbage and started taking me with him to the mosque five times a day.
I grew up exposed to what was said inside the da’wah groups.
My uncle was not a jihadi, but he was deeply involved in da’wah, Islamic evangelism.
For years, I accompanied him during summers and weekends on mission trips across Jordan, visiting mosques around the country with other members of the da’wah movement.
I still remember visiting Al-Hajar Mosque in the city of Zarqa, the same mosque of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, years before he became known.
When I was eleven, my parents moved to another city, and I stopped going with my uncle.
But when I was seventeen, the protests that erupted across the Islamic world after the Danish cartoons of Muhammad pulled me back to the mosque, and I spent another year with da’wah groups, until God miraculously changed my life and I converted to Christianity.
Those years in the da’wah movement as a young kid gave me an exceptional ability to see through these people.
The moment someone speaks, I can diagnose how infected he is with the spirit of jihad.
I wish I could lend my eyes to Western governments so they could see how deeply their institutions have been infiltrated.
The majority of those who present themselves as “moderate” or “normal” Muslims in Islamic organisations or Media, are on a mission. Once naturalized, they know exactly how to exploit the system to advance the goals of da'wah.
And those who are running for public offices are very serious muslims who are on a mission to serve Islam by taking over the West.

It is particularly amusing to hear @KingAbdullahII of Jordan speak so passionately about international law and the rights of Palestinians in Judea and Samaria.
In July 1988, on the orders of his father, King Hussein, Jordan collectively and unilaterally revoked the citizenship and rights of Palestinians living in Judea and Samaria - in complete violation of international law.
Overnight, Palestinians in Judea and Samaria lost the right to vote or run for the Jordanian parliament, work in the Jordanian civil service, or receive funding from the Hashemite Kingdom. Their Jordanian passports were confiscated or not renewed. They were classified as foreign nationals. Their entry into Jordan and their ability to remain there were restricted.
Tell us more about international law.

People keep asking Ali Shaaban @AliShaaban7319 why he will not cry on cue about the children of Gaza. He answered them without the script they wanted.
He does not deny that those children suffer, and he does not pretend they planned October 7. What he refuses to do is pretend the war is the first thing that was done to them. They grew up under a movement that turned schools into magazines, houses into shields, and childhood into a waiting room for martyrdom.
They were taught that Jews are monsters and that blood is the only language left. Their leaders poured concrete into tunnels instead of hospitals, then parked their own sons in safe houses outside the Strip and sent everyone else’s children to die under the word resistance.
That is why this clip lands. It is an Arab Israeli saying out loud what Western comment sections treat as heresy. The suffering is real. The author of it is not the country that is trying to pull its hostages out of those same houses. It is the people who built a death cult on top of a civilian population and then demanded the world blame Israel for the wreckage.
Watch him. Then ask why so many people only want the first sentence of that speech.

A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures.
The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019.
A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years.
Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture.
The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment.
Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls.
"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded.
Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls.
The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges.
The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway.
How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

This whole Macklemore situation is so spiritually Palestinian.
Ed Sheeran became one of the biggest musicians in the world by writing good music, he built an audience, and people spend hundreds of dollars to come hear his music.
Macklemore gets invited onto that stage and decides to hijack Ed Sheeran’s concert for his political rally. Ed built the stage and brought the audience, and Macklemore decided he was entitled to commandeer it for his demented cause.
And when Ed Sheeran tells him this is a concert, not a political rally, and he doesn’t want to take sides, he becomes the villain.
This is Palestinianism. You build nothing. You bite the hand that feeds you. You leech onto things other people built and destroy them.
These parasites have hijacked every institution, every cultural event, everything other people built, and feel entitled to selfishly destroy it for their tribal clan politics.
