I’m not bothered at all 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️Instead of plotting against Jews, digging up drainage pipes and digging tunnels think next time. Tomorrow get off your arses and dig some sewers.

I'm not an optimistic person by nature
But it does seem to me that the hardcore antizionist left simply was not prepared for the pushback it received from local community leaders, politicians, and from the Philadelphia Jewish community
That feels, in my mind, like a win

Yesterday, during a panel discussion, someone in the audience asked: Why have Palestinians never amounted to anything on a collective level, like the Armenians, for example?
The Armenians, after the genocide, built prosperous communities wherever they went and assimilated without losing their particularity.
But the Palestinians kept the spirit of violence wherever they went.
The man asked whether the reason was something in the air or the water in the Middle East.
One of the panelists answered that Palestinians were exploited by Arab regimes and never got the opportunities the Armenians had. If they had been given the same opportunities, they would have been just as successful and assimilated as well as the Armenians.
@hahussain pushed back and said that was not true because Palestinians in Jordan were given the same rights as Jordanians, yet what did they do with that opportunity? They tried to overthrow King Hussein.
I met with the professor who gave that answer before Hussain responded and discussed with him how Palestinian Christians (except the communists among them) were successful, assimilated into the societies that took them in, and became loyal citizens, and how it was Islam, that thing in the water or the air, that kept the victimhood narrative alive.
Israel absorbed 800,000 refugees who were displaced from Arab countries, while Palestinians have remained in refugee camps to this day, not only because Arab regimes have been capitalizing on their grievances, but also because Palestinians and Muslims in general are susceptible, because of Islam, to living in a perpetual state of violence and destruction.

Musk has reshared a post saying it was a mistake for SpaceX to help Ukraine.
If America was being subjected to invasion, ballistic missiles and drones, and filtration camps for mass torture, sexual abuse, executions, and child kidnappings - all by an aggressor intent on erasing your existence as a nation - then he would presumably be a bit more helpful with his technology.
Europe’s security cannot rely on people who think they are doing us a favour (even when we are paying for it).
This is “sovereignty as a service", points out President @IlvesToomas.
You buy a capability you cannot build yourself, but the price includes the seller keeping a veto on its use.
Toomas Hendrik Ilves became Estonian President not long before his country was subjected to a massive Russian cyberattack in 2007. That crisis became a catalyst for accelerating Estonia’s digital resilience because they understood “whoever controls your networks controls a good part of your sovereignty”.
Estonia’s long term investment in its secure digital infrastructure has delivered a huge return for both its security and its prosperity.
Right now, Europe is not short of engineering talent to build more of its own sovereign technology.
But why invest in something European when the American version is cheaper and working?
At least, that was Europe’s complacent thinking until now.

The tragedy in Gaza continues. Two million people trapped under Hamas rule in around 30 percent of the area.
The enduring tragedy there must be stated. They were left under Hamas’ illegal rule since 2007, Hamas received cash to continue its rule and launched numerous wars. And now, when there was finally a clear chance to remove them after the October 7 massacre by Hamas, Hamas have been left in power to continue to control the lives of 2 million, without those civilians having any chance to move to the rest of Gaza free from Hamas, as envisioned in the US and UN-backed plan.
It’s a horrible tragedy. Unspeakable
It is a historic horror that this continues
There is no excuse for it. We removed ISIS from Mosul, we don’t leave them in charge of 2 million people. We removed the Nazis. We didn’t keep them in charge of all the Germans in a Nazi rump state in 30 percent of Germany.
It’s only in Gaza that this horrid never ending disaster is seen as normal

A year ago, I published a long essay in @Quillette debunking the “Gaza genocide” calumny and exposing the disingenuousness of its proponents.
It was translated into French by the magazine @LePoint, as well as into Polish and German. And in my own language Dutch? Every single newspaper I pitched it to in Belgium and the Netherlands turned it down. No dissent on this question is tolerated in the Low Countries — not in the press, and certainly not at the university, where my rector declared that anyone questioning the genocide narrative was “crossing a line that should not be crossed”.
But I have finally found a way to publish at least part of the essay in Dutch: it will appear as the foreword to Genocide en Gaza, the Dutch translation of an excellent new book by political scientist and genocide expert Joël Kotek of @ULBruxelles.
Did I mention that this internationally renowned genocide scholar (fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo%C3%…) happens to agree entirely with my thesis? Are you listening, rector De Sutter (who deleted her account @pdsutter)?

Trump is indeed wasting his time making a deal with Russia without Europe or Ukraine, but his shocked, angry face when Europe shuts it down will be very entertaining to see.

🇨🇳 🇺🇸 Imagine China invades the United States. Chinese troops occupy Alaska. Chinese missiles destroy American cities, power stations and hospitals. Beijing complains that Washington has been behaving provocatively by refusing to surrender.
President Donald Trump appears on television, desperately appealing to Europe for help.
Europe’s response?
“Donald, shut up. You don’t have the cards. You’re in a very bad position. You should be grateful we’re even talking to you.”
Then a Chinese missile strikes an elementary school in Washington. Dozens of American children are killed.
A European leader is asked whether Beijing should be held responsible.
“Look, it’s terrible. Absolutely terrible. But we must remember that people are dying on both sides. Chinese soldiers are being killed by American troops, too. We cannot simply blame China because some American children have died. We need to understand the legitimate security concerns of both countries.”
Meanwhile, reports emerge that 50,000 American children have been forcibly taken by Chinese occupation forces. Children from Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas and Texas have been transported to China, separated from their parents and placed with Chinese families.
Europe urges everyone to remain calm.
“Frankly, some of these children have been placed with better Chinese families. Very respectable people. Lovely homes. We mustn’t allow emotional arguments about children to derail the peace process.”
Trump demands their immediate return.
European leaders roll their eyes.
“Honestly, the man is exhausting. Every time we speak to Trump, it’s the same bloody thing. Anti-aircraft missiles, air defence systems, ammunition, weapons, weapons, weapons. Can’t he just shut up for five minutes? We’re trying to negotiate peace here.”
Meanwhile, Europe demands that Washington immediately stop attacking Chinese oil refineries and military infrastructure.
“American strikes are escalating the conflict and threatening global energy prices. Beijing needs reassurance that its infrastructure will be protected.”
China continues systematically destroying America’s electricity grid, bridges and railway networks.
Europe calls for restraint. From America, naturally.
European envoys then fly to Beijing to negotiate lucrative deals involving gas from occupied Alaska and a magnificent new North American security architecture.
“We must address China’s legitimate security concerns. Perhaps America could withdraw its troops from certain states and reconsider its military alliances. After all, Beijing has genuine concerns about American military forces operating so close to Chinese positions.”
The Chinese positions are in Texas.
Trump protests that nobody has asked the Americans what they think.
“Donald, we’re negotiating peace. Please stop being difficult. China’s security concerns are just as legitimate as yours.”
Eventually, Brussels announces a historic agreement with Beijing determining the future of North America.
The Americans are invited to applaud.
Now, if this sounds like foreign policy devised by a committee of spectacularly incompetent estate agents attempting to sell a house while its owners are being murdered upstairs, congratulations. Your brain is functioning.
In modern American diplomacy, the country invading its neighbour deserves security guarantees, commercial opportunities and understanding.
And the children?
Well, there are always two sides to every story.
The moral collapse of a government.

When they say “seized,” they mean “purchased with money in a transaction agreed by both sides.”

We fight for freedom and die for freedom. Words are important. Words from the United States – the biggest supporter of freedom – are important. Support is important. If the words against Putin and his aggression are strong, if a support package for Ukraine is strong, Putin will think twice, three times, ten times about whether he wants to attack or maybe this war has been enough for him.
I always tried to make this point to the American President, with all due gratitude to him and his team: Putin respects only a strong position. Even from the enemy, but a strong position. We cannot end this war saying good things about him. We see it – the war is in its fifth year now.

There is something astonishing about the combination of arrogance, excessive self-confidence, and the blind belief that the world operates according to your own ideology.
Zaida Catalán, a former Swedish politician and human rights activist, traveled to Congo as part of a UN mission investigating atrocities. She was abducted, brutally murdered, and found beheaded.
Her tragic death does not prove that the values she believed in were wrong. But it is a brutal reminder that good intentions are not body armor, ideals do not eliminate danger, and not everyone you encounter shares your moral values.
And that is precisely the problem when ideological certainty replaces an understanding of reality.
When people become convinced they know everything, they stop listening to warnings, recognizing threats, and distinguishing between the world they wish existed and the world they actually inhabit.
Sometimes, the price is horrifying.
You can argue with ideology. You cannot argue with reality.
Reality simply doesn't care how enlightened you believe yourself to be.

russia was never held accountable for Transnistria, Georgia or Ukraine. Each time, the world chose temporary "compromise" over international law.
By rewarding a genocidal invasion with territory, we aren't bringing peace. We’re just financing the countdown to russia's next war.
🚨 NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says Ukraine is unlikely to regain all its territory militarily and that peace may require compromise.
But only Ukraine can decide what it is willing to accept.
My question is simple: Why is the country defending its land expected to compromise, while the country that invaded it gets to keep making demands?
If aggression is rewarded with territory, what exactly stops the next invasion?

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed says that we should oppose aid to Israel AND Egypt. This is supposed to prove that he's not single-mindedly obsessed with destroying Israel.
What he's not telling you: He opposes giving aid to Egypt's government because he wants Egypt's government to be replaced by the Muslim Brotherhood, which he supports.
Recall that, in 2012, El-Sayed signed an open letter urging Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood president, Mohammad Morsi, "to purge the media and police as quickly as possible."
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is a supporter of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed will never take a stance that goes against the Muslim Brotherhood.
This must be understood as the context for every single statement he makes.

The people:
Muhammad Jalameh – A senior commander in Hamas’s military wing in Jenin, who planned an attack inspired by October 7 and directed terrorist activities from inside the hospital.
Muhammad Azzawi – A member of the Jenin Brigades.
Basel Azzawi – An operative of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (the brother of a terrorist operative).
All are also members of being inbred as fuck

People WAY overthink this.
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is an Egyptian supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.
He is doing exactly what such a person would do: Attempt to disarm Israel so that it can be conquered by his organization.
There's not, like, a deep humanitarian concern here.
He is who he is.
Egyptian citizen and #Islamocrat US Senator-elect from #Michiganistan Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed went on CNN today where he called for an arms embargo against Israel:
