“Please don’t get in my comment section and try to shame me into supporting Palestine because I’m Black and I should be supporting brown people. No, I’m not going to do that, because you’re ignorant and skin-color obsessed.
You don’t even understand the fact that, in Palestine, there are neighborhoods called Al-Abid, translated as ‘the slaves,’ where Afro-Palestinians live. These are marginalized Black neighborhoods that are called Al-Abid, ‘the slave,’ and many Palestinians still refer to Black people as abid, meaning ‘slave’ in Arabic.
Why? For those of you who are unfamiliar and unaware, number one: the Arab Muslim slave trade is the longest-spanning slave trade in history. It’s even longer than the transatlantic slave trade.
Number two: many of the Afro-Palestinians who currently reside in Palestine were taken there during the Ottoman Empire, a large Islamic empire that was known for the forced servitude and enslavement of many cultures and groups of people.
So, many of the Afro-Palestinians in Palestine were taken there through forced servitude and enslavement, and they still reside there in neighborhoods where they are referred to as slaves.
Again, as a Black person, if you’re going to try to appeal to my race, which, by the way, I don’t make decisions based on race and skin color; I make decisions based on truth, then come up with something better, because it isn’t cutting it.”

An Israeli survivor of October 7th recounts seeing Palestinian civilians laughing as they raped a woman they had pulled out of a car, then slaughtered her with a knife and continued to rape the dead body while laughing.
Never forget. Never forgive. Never again.
Having seen the infamous 47-minute compilation of the 7 Oct atrocities with my own eyes (not publicly available), I can attest that the Silenced No More report, which is freely available online, is even worse. It's just words on a page, but it leaves enough to the imagination to be even more horrific than the video. At least for me.
In the 47-minute compilation, there is some evidence of sexual sadism, but not much. Probably for two reasons: proud though Hamas was of massacring Jews, they were less keen on broadcasting scenes of sexual depravity. And the Israeli government likely declined to include the most horrific footage out of respect for the victims.
The report is exhaustively documented, horror story after horror story. I've read it only once, and I won't do so again. Especially the sections about the Nova festival are extremely disturbing. So I asked Claude to summarize the documented patterns in the report:
- Rape and gang rape, with victims passed between attackers in sequence, witnesses describing laughter throughout
- Targeted gunshots to groin, abdomen, buttocks and face; genital mutilation of both women and men
- Rape followed by execution—victims shot or stabbed immediately afterward, some shot in the head during the assault
- Rape continuing after victims were dead
- Sexual mutilation—breasts severed, genitals cut off or shot
- Burning, including deliberate burning of the groin; bodies set alight with accelerants
- - Hands bound behind backs; bodies tied to trees and poles along the road
- Sharp objects inserted into victims' genitals
- Women raped in view of their desperate partners, who were then killed
- Male victims gang-raped, beaten, and threatened with castration
- Dismemberment and decapitation
These findings of systematic sexual violence and torture are corroborated by the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict (2024) and the UN Commission of Inquiry (2024).
Just one quote from a survivor:
"I heard one rape where they were passing her around. She was probably injured, judging by her screams—screams you have never heard anywhere. It's between silence and screams, between pain and wanting to die. These are screams... it's something I have never heard in my life, and I have no way to explain to you what it sounds like. But it's screams. It's screams. It was simply horrific. And after one finished, he told another to go up 'Ta'al' [in Arabic], like to the next one. And apparently there was a round... And after they finished, they shot her." She continued: "You hear the screams, and then you hear silence. You hear a bang—and silence. And then there's a kind of calm. And then you say: okay, it's over at least. She's done with it. And like that with each person they abused—you heard. The moment they were killed, I said, 'Oh my God, finally, it's over.'"
You privileged Westerners have no idea how you would react if this happened to you and your loved ones—if a group committed these atrocities, vowed to repeat them again and again, and openly declared that it would not stop until your country no longer existed. You have no idea.

@bornfirstkindly No it just appears to be a simple lapel microphone for recording her chats that she probably just wants to use later on her Insta stories. No biggie
@cmills4370@TheNorfolkLion If it was you or I yes. We’d just walk around. Elderly people like my mum would never let go of that rail. A combination of arthritis and aged loss of balance coupled with the fear of falling that almost every 80 year has would ensure that. That’s obviously what’s happened here.
@paddytoland@HillelNeuer You haven’t seen the evidence footage then? There were many rapes and mutilation of women.
The IDF hasn’t taken any hostages and have definitely not raped any women.
@Debra_Stone75@therobbieharvey What an absolutely stupid comment. No way would I let my two young daughters in a men’s toilet with urinals and penis’s at eye level.
It Was Supposed to Be History
I'm a Polish filmmaker living in London.
I wasn't raised to care about antisemitism. Quite the opposite.
Like many Poles of my generation, I grew up with a version of history that focused heavily on Polish suffering during the Second World War. I visited Auschwitz as a teenager, yet somehow left without truly understanding the scale of what had happened to Europe's Jews.
That changed when I was 19 and worked on Schindler's List.
For the first time, I was confronted with parts of history that had been missing from my education. Later, living in Paris and spending time in New York, I met Jewish people whose understanding of Poland, Europe and history was very different from my own. Some conversations were uncomfortable. A few were life-changing.
The more I learned, the more I realised that antisemitism didn't disappear after the Holocaust. It adapted.
Today it often arrives dressed as political activism, conspiracy theories, selective outrage, historical revisionism, or simply a double standard applied to the world's only Jewish state.
I am not Jewish. I have no family connection to Israel.
What I do have is a deep distrust of propaganda, mob thinking, and people who demand that history be simplified into slogans.
My work on antisemitism began with a simple realisation: if I could be misled about history, so could millions of others.
That is why I make films, conduct interviews, and challenge narratives.
Not because I have all the answers.
Because I spent too many years believing things that weren't true.
@DVWittes@IsraelIDFstar@JewishChron Bandying the word ‘nazi’ around like you do just shows to everyone else it is you who is the nazi. Wrapped up in you obsessive hate for Israel.
Flashback: A Christian Arab man from Israel triggered pro-Palestinian students at Oxford simply by telling the truth.
He exposed the reality they refuse to accept: Israel is the only place in the Middle East where Jews exist, minorities are safe, and women are free, while under Muslim rule across the Arab-Muslim world women are oppressed, Christians are persecuted, and Jews were ethnically cleansed.
(6) Andrea Williams, Chief Executive of the Christian Legal Centre, which supported the case, said:
“The rise and influence of Islam in our institutions is rapid and alarming.
“Luke’s case should concern everyone. It exposes how ‘inclusivity’ training within the police has, in practice, become a vehicle for enforcing a narrow ideological orthodoxy, where only approved views are permitted and lawful questioning is punished.
“Luke was explicitly invited to speak openly in what was presented as a safe space, only to be suspended, investigated, and driven out for doing exactly that. This was not about misconduct, it was about control and driving out any opposing beliefs.
“The message this sends is chilling: that Islam and prevailing secular orthodoxy is now treated as beyond question, while Christians and others are subjected to disproportionate scrutiny and sanction simply for asking reasonable questions during training.
“This case demands urgent political attention. It reveals a profound failure of leadership and neutrality within public institutions, and it raises serious questions about whether the Home Office and those responsible for police oversight are willing, or able, to confront the ideological capture that is eroding freedom of belief and expression from within.”
