IDF soldiers sacrifice their lives to shield their children from harm. Palestinian terrorists hide behind kids, shirking honorable combat. Yet, pro-Palestine voices cheer for these cowards and falsely blame the IDF for civilian suffering.

No, @newscomauHQ, this is not Australians celebrating Syrian regime change. They are chanting incitement to murder Jews.

Reclaiming DEI and Social Justice | Zionism is the millennia-old cultural belief in Jewish self-determination, expressed in the modern era through the establishment of Israel as a nation-state. Weaponizing this term is a clear example of cultural misappropriation.
Claiming to be a peace activist while advocating for the destruction of a sovereign nation with a standing army is warmongering, pure and simple: a profoundly delusional inversion of realities on the ground.
Leveraging the demographic disparity of a 15-16 million ethnic minority in an ocean of 8 billion people on the planet today, to drown out their voices, subvert their right to collective narratives and erase their historic claims, is the epitome of social injustice.
If the UNHCR were allocated the entire 2023 $1.772 billion UNRWA budget, it could service approximately 21.48 million additional refugees, based on its current expenditure rate of $82.50 per refugee. That’s nearly five times as many refugees currently serviced by UNRWA for approximately $300 per refugee ✝︎.
This underscores the social injustice of almost 131 million underserved refugees taking a backseat to 5.9 million Palestinians subjugated and locked into generational statelessness and disenfranchisement in order to advance the geopolitical agendas of major powers leveraging the Israel-Palestine conflict to mount soft-power assaults against western nations. All while these western nations foot the bill.

Comparative Inefficiency of UNRWA v. UNHCR by the Numbers (2023-2024).
UNRWA consumes 16.4% of UNHCR’s budget while servicing only 4.5% of its population, despite maintaining almost twice the number of staff (approximately 32,840 UNRWA versus 16,803 UNHCR).
UNRWA spends approximately $300 per refugee, nearly 3.6 times more than UNHCR’s $82.50 per displaced person, even though UNHCR serves a significantly larger population (130.8 million vs. 5.9 million). Furthermore, UNRWA maintains about 43.2 times more staff per refugee compared to UNHCR, reflecting a much higher staffing intensity.

—— UNHCR
For 2023, the UNHCR’s budget was $10.799 billion, including additional funding for five supplementary budgets addressing emergency needs. The initial approved budget was $10.211 billion, but increased accordingly due to emergencies like the earthquake response in Turkey and Syria, flooding in Pakistan, and the crisis in Ukraine, among others .
The proposed budget for 2024 is $10.622 billion, targeted at addressing the needs of a projected 130.8 million forcibly displaced and stateless people by the end of the year. This includes refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and others under UNHCR’s mandate .

Just reminding you it’s been a year of the Palestinians about to run out of electricity…
…didn’t happen
It’s been a year of them about to run out of fuel…
…didn’t happen
It’s been a year of them about to run out of food…
…didn’t happen
It’s been a year of them being genocided
…didn’t happen
All it has been is a year of lies and bullshit, a year of them not releasing the hostages, a year of them keeping the war going at all costs whilst simulating victimhood to a credulous western audience

Hi @antonioguterres @UN @UNRWA @UNLazzarini
I wonder if you could be kind enough to assist me.
So we kind of found a whole host of items on Yahya Sinwar’s body, including a lot of cash, fake passports, weapons, and a pack of Mentos. But the one thing that really stuck out was this really interesting UNRWA ID badge.
So I was hoping any of you could very kindly explain how the head of the terrorist organization, Hamas, ended up with one of those?
Thanks
Billions of curious people watching you all carefully

I was born Muslim and lived all my life as an Arab. There was not a single day that I felt like a minority, that my mother tongue or culture was threatened with extinction, or that people singled me out because of my color, language or whatever I say or do. We have 21 Arab countries, half of them are dumpsters not worth being called states.
The total mass of territories under Arab sovereignty is 13.3 million sq km. The total mass of Israel with Palestinian Territories is 25 thousand sq km. Yet, somehow, the majority of Arabs think that conceding this tiny fraction of land to Jewish sovereignty is the end of the world, and that our salvation is incumbent on destroying Jewish nationhood.
My closest friends are Jews with an Arab mother tongue. Their life experience has been the total opposite experience of mine, suffering discrimination, unfair treatment (socially and politically) and everything that we today call antisemitism. Naftali Bennet captures it beautifully in his Post below.
You don't have to be pro-Israel. You only have to be fair and graceful. A negligible 25k thousand sq km allows Jews to maintain their culture -- including language and traditions -- and pass them onto their off springs like all other cultures do. Jewish existence in the midst of Arabs offers desperately needed diversity and breaks the liberty-suppressing uniformity of the Arab/Muslim world.
But no, we Arabs, who cannot even sort out the endless bloody feud between Sunni and Shia, who force minorities like Druze, Alawis and others to hide their faith, think that Jews will have a blast living under our sovereignty, a fantasy that not a single stretch of our history can substantiate.
And now on top of it all, we the Arabs got anyone with insecurity from other nations (Western and non-Arab Muslims) to join our own craziness and cheer for us.
It's incumbent on us, Arabs, to stand up and say no. Our world will only be fixed with our own hands and our own ideas. Time to break taboos and think outside the silly Palestine box.
Signed: Arab peace with Israel and liberty everywhere
What is it about the Gaza war that’s causing all these riots around the world?
During the past 50 years the world has seen HUNDREDS of terrible wars. None of them caused the massive anti-Israel riots we’re seeing now in the universities.
So what’s unique about this particular war?
Are there more civilian losses in Gaza (10,000-14,000) than in other wars?
Not at all.
The war in Congo killed MILLIONS ;
The Syrian civil war almost a million;
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan killed hundreds of thousands each.
Was it that Israel initiated this war?
Nope.
This war started ONLY because of the savage October 7th massacre that Hamas executed against innocent babies, women and men.
So why?
What’s is it about this war that gets these intellectuals and students out there burning and breaking into buildings?
Why is the ICC singling out Israel?
You know the answer:
Because it’s Israel, the only Jewish State on earth.
It’s the Jews.
It’s the same reason Jews were singled out for the past 2000 years.
Jews were accused of being lazy or too ambitious;
of behaving differently or trying to assimilate;
of being weaklings or being too strong;
of being an economic burden on society or succeeding too much in business.
The true reason was none of these.
It was because they were Jews.
This wave of Israel-hate is simply a new incarnation of good old antisemitism.
Well, we won’t apologize for being Jewish or loving the Jewish State.
Get over it.

Let’s not tell Palestinians and the Arabs of the Levant that their situation is so dire that they need to cut their losses and think of growing their economies and feed their children.
Let’s not tell those Arabs that they need calm, sane, poised leaders and clear-eyed, even if unpopular policies.
Let’s encourage those Arabs to keep doing what they’ve been doing for a century: Chant slogans.
Let’s not give those Arabs Japan, Germany or South Korea as examples, and pick instead Iran and Russia as role models.
Let’s imagine that all what those Arabs need is free land, not free thinking.

"Because they are doing a genocide."
"Sounds pretty genocidal of you."

"What?"
