College student:
“Jews are refugees. They have no right to self-determination. Israel has no sovereignty.”
The response that shut the room down:
“Millions of Jews left Auschwitz with nowhere to go.
Not one country on Earth took them in.
A million and a half Jews fought in World War II…
and still couldn’t bomb the tracks to the gas chambers.
Because they had no army.
No country.
No power.
The day Jews could finally defend themselves…
is the day Jews stopped dying.”
Hamas has said it out loud for two years:
They will keep going until every last Jew is dead.
You’re telling Israelis to dismantle their self-defense “for peace.”
Hamas is telling them: “Do it and we’ll slaughter you.”
And somehow… Hamas is winning the argument inside your head.
Go learn the actual history.
Then come back and talk. 🇮🇱

This incredible documentary by @rehoov tells the story too few ever want to mention and discuss. It’s the story of the widespread ethnic cleansing of the Jewish people from all the Arab and Muslim lands since 1948. Nearly a million came to Israel, the rest to the US and some Europe.
These Jewish communities lived in those lands for centuries before Islam even existed. Over 1400 years their numbers were decimated. They’d never lived in Europe. Never came from Europe. And they make up more than half the Jewish population of Israel.
This was the real Nakba. But unlike Arabs and the UN who intentionally kept their own people in camps and cages for 78 years, Israel absorbed all of these Jews within a few years. Each one.

Never forget that Palestinians were offered a state in 1937, 1947, 1967, 2000, 2001, and 2008.
They said no every time!

Dear World / “useful idiots,”
Yes. This Gaza resident is calling out the scam in plain terms. The scam you have fallen for from terrorists!!!
Tents are already sitting in warehouses in Gaza. Hamas and the local operators who control them are deliberately holding them back. They wait for the rain to flood the camps, for mattresses to float, for families to suffer on camera, and for the videos to go viral.
Only after the world is watching the misery do they show up, hammer in the stakes, hand out a tent, and pose as the “angels of mercy” for the cameras.
He says it himself: the storm forecasts gave a week’s warning. They don’t care. What they care about is the shot, the trend, the optics. If it doesn’t go viral, let them drown. Once it does, then it’s their turn to play the savior.
That’s the system in Gaza under Hamas: suffering is a media product, and aid is released only when it maximizes the propaganda value.
Lesson: Don’t be another “useful idiot!”

エジプト、イエメン、モロッコ、イラク、レバノン、シリアがすべて元はキリスト教国だったと知ってびっくりしました。
そしてそれをイスラム教が征服したと知ってさらにびっくりしました。
1400年もの間、イスラム教徒は国々を征服し続けてきたんですね。
これでもなお「イスラム教は平和な宗教」「イスラム教は侵略しない」とか言っている人は歴史を勉強した方がいいと思います。

Everything here is self-evidently true. But these are not the hip, trendy truths of today.
In the midst of moral panic, even the most glaring truths are obscured like the sun during an eclipse. Or something like that.

96% of Jews in Poland were murdered by the Nazis. That is genocide.
3% of Gaza’s population, mostly male combatants, died in the war they started. That is not genocide.

If the govt seriously wants us to believe that its new sanctions regime is not just targeted at Israel, will @Ed_Miliband impose sanctions on the Chinese regime for persecution of fighters for democracy & freedom in HK like Jimmy Lai & Joshua Wong?
The promises to Hong Kong of freedom and autonomy have been broken by the CCP.
I trust the Government will make it clear to the Chinese Government that it will not tolerate a continued lack of disregard for the Joint Declaration.
Joshua’s light will not be dimmed.

If you tolerate Islam, Islam will grow.
When Islam grows, it will not tolerate you.
If you agree with me, repost this!

Saudi TV correctly discusses the Israel-Gaza war with far more nuance than the DSA.

Sweden's 🇸🇪 parliament has voted to make Holocaust denial a constitutional offense, starting in January 2027.
Not a single MP signed up to debate it.
I applaud Sweden for this decision.

Cheered by the fact of a first Muslim senator in the US but this aggression against a journalist trying to do their job is a bad look. Well done @jamesmatthewsky for dealing with it so well
Michigan's Democratic candidate for Senate Abdul El-Sayed confronted @jamesmatthewsky, telling him he wouldn't answer his questions as he wants "zero" votes in the UK.
Watch the heated exchange between the two.
