The diplomatic isolation of Israel during the war in Gaza following the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre will go down in history as a moral failure and a defeat of humanity, French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy said on Thursday.
“The absence of support for Israel will be considered by future historians as a moment of huge disgrace for the West,” Lévy told JNS in an interview in Tel Aviv. “It is a defeat of humanity and a moral defeat. It is the loss of any moral compass.”
Lévy, who lives in Paris, rushed to Israel the day after the Oct. 7 attacks and the following year penned Israel Alone, a book about the lack of diplomatic support for the Jewish state in the West.
“I was beyond shocked,” he said.
He was back in Israel on Thursday to deliver the keynote address at the annual conference on contemporary antisemitism hosted by the Comper Center for the Study of Antisemitism and Racism at the University of Haifa. The gathering is the largest annual academic conference on modern-day antisemitism, drawing an estimated 550 participants, including 250 in-person presenters, with others joining virtually from abroad.
The 77-year-old French intellectual, commonly known as BHL, decried the surge in antisemitism, which he called “unprecedented in my lifetime,” noting that he rarely gives lectures in France for security reasons and that the only safe place for him to speak in the United Kingdom is a synagogue.
“Even if I come to speak about philosophy or non-Jewish issues, the only safe place for me in the U.K. is a synagogue,” he said.

We are about to see Israel joining the battle once again against the Islamic regime. Israel has stronger intelligence on the IRGC and the ability to eliminate its leaders, strengthening America's position at the negotiating table. This time, everything will be different. One operation in defense of humanity against terrorism.
For the lefties who are anti-war, step aside. If you truly care, go stop the war in Sudan, run by Muslim Brotherhood terrorists, or help solve the Kashmir, India-Pakistan conflict. We know the Middle East. We are Middle Easterners. We are the Arabs who have to live next to the evil Islamic regime NOT YOU. So keep chanting "from the river to the sea" and eating shish kebab, and leave the brave Iranian people alone. They want to be free from this Islamic regime.
One thing Trump needs to do: close that phone where he receives calls from mediators.

The Australian Law Reform Commission will deliver its final report on its Review of Surrogacy Laws to the @AustralianLabor government in the next few weeks – by 29 July.
@WomensForumAust is deeply concerned the review is paving the way for commercial surrogacy and a national surrogacy industry in Australia.
This is a major departure from our current laws which criminalise the buying and selling of babies through surrogacy in every state and territory, due to serious concerns about the exploitation of women and children – concerns that remain as relevant as ever.
It is also out of step with the majority of countries around the world, some of which have even moved to ban all forms of surrogacy, because of the harms to women and children.
Given the blatant pro-commercial surrogacy bias of those running the review, the direction is unsurprising yet horrifying nonetheless.

Our planet has lost its integrity. Its humanity. Its sense of right and wrong. Its sense of fact vs fiction. Its ability to think critically.
Terrorists attack a country, massacring over 1200 innocent people, kidnapping over 240. Mass rapes. Beheadings. Burning people alive. There’s video evidence. People deny it happened, call for a ceasefire and rip down hostage posters.
People celebrate the massacres by the terrorists. Including children and mothers. They spit on the dead bodies. They laugh at the hostages.
Doctors hold people hostage.
Parents celebrate when their children tell them that they’ve massacred people.
Hostages are being held in Rafah for months. The US and other countries attempt to stop the rescuers from entering Rafah.
Children are getting beaten up, and adults watch and do nothing.
Children are threatening other children, saying they will do to the children what Hamas did to Israel.
People deny the violent sexual assault of women, despite evidence. Women deny it.
Women are violently kicked on the streets of London.
Canada opens its borders to take more people in from Gaza, increasing the risk of terrorism in Canada.
Israel provides aid. Hamas prevents it from getting to the people of Gaza. And the world condemns Israel.
The woke left believe the most outrageous propaganda, because they’ve been taught that “Zionists lie”.
A social media app is being used to brainwash our society, and nobody’s stopping it.
Jewish Schools and synagogues are shot at, and local elected officials don’t show up to support the community.
Musical bands scream for "death to the IDF", a war-cry calling for the murders of Israelis, and authorities don't believe a crime was committed.
We are slipping so far down into the abyss.
Our planet is divided.
Fractured.
People have been pitted against each other.
And at the worst possible time.
Just as we are facing an existential threat.
One might think this is all by design.
If you look at it from a different angle, one might think this is exactly what Oct 7 was meant to do.
Perhaps you’d see that the protests started before Israel even responded.
Maybe you’d notice the signs were already made. The accusations of “genocide” before a single death in Gaza.
Did you pick up on the coordination across the world? How the protests and rhetoric are all moving at the same speed in every country and city? Do you think they paid protestors the same all over?
How about those encampments that sprung up?
The propaganda was the same. Everywhere. The repeated phrases. “Genocide.” “Free Palestine.” “Resistance”.
And what are our governments doing about it?
What are our authorities doing about it?
Ignoring it.
Allowing it to happen.
Because our planet has lost its integrity.
At least the left half has.
For the first time in 80 years, it's time to treat the Palestinians like every other people in history. Every group has eventually had to make a choice: integrate and accept reality or, if they truly believe they have no future there, leave and build a new life elsewhere.
Human migration has existed since the beginning of civilization. People have always moved for countless reasons: better jobs, better schools for their children, lower housing costs, economic opportunity, persecution, or war. There is nothing unique about people having to leave one place and start over somewhere else.
Jews lived in countless countries for thousands of years and were repeatedly forced to leave. They lost homes, businesses, and entire communities. Yet they did not expect every town or village they had once lived in to become a sovereign Jewish state. Faced with the choice between holding on to the past or rebuilding elsewhere, they chose survival.
This is also not a situation where no alternative has ever been offered. Over the past several decades, multiple negotiations proposed the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, including the 2000 Camp David talks, the 2001 Taba talks, and the 2008 Olmert proposal. None produced a final agreement. At some point, continually rejecting proposals while insisting that the status quo is unbearable stops being a sustainable position.
Many privileged Westerners throw around phrases like "ethnic cleansing" and "atrocity" as though they deeply care about Palestinians. But if they truly believe Palestinians are being persecuted, insisting they remain there indefinitely so others can score political points is hardly an act of compassion. Real compassion means supporting their right to either integrate into Israeli society where possible or leave and build a better future somewhere else, just as countless other people throughout history have had to do.
For decades, the Palestinians have been treated with kid gloves, as though they should be exempt from the difficult choices every other people has faced throughout history. At the same time, many insist they are living under unbearable conditions. If they genuinely believe their situation is hopeless, then they should have the same option countless other populations have had throughout history: leave, rebuild, and create a better future somewhere else.
Grand Mufti Amin al-Husseini was not the “father of Palestinian nationalism.”
On the contrary — he was one of its fiercest opponents.
In 1919, as a young Muslim cleric, al-Husseini helped launch a newspaper called Southern Syria (Suriyya al-Janubiyya) and actively fought against the creation of a separate “Palestine.” He wanted the land to remain part of Greater Syria.
At the time, the word “Palestinian” referred almost exclusively to Zionist Jews. Arabs and Muslims in the region did not use “Palestine” as a political identity — it had no such meaning for them and is never mentioned in the Quran. They saw the area as part of Bilad al-Sham (Greater Syria).
Al-Husseini’s opposition to Zionism was religious and pan-Islamic, not nationalist. He spent decades trying to prevent any Jewish sovereignty and later collaborated with the Nazis to exterminate Jews in the region.
The modern idea of “Palestinian nationalism” only emerged decades later. Arab leaders like Nasser, working with the KGB, created the PLO in the 1960s with Arafat at the helm — rebranding the conflict as a “war of national liberation” for propaganda purposes.
Al-Husseini didn’t lead a national movement. He led a religious jihad against Jewish presence in the land. Today’s narrative simply tries to hide that reality.
You don't seem very good at big words, Tony, so I'll summarise this for you. The Mayo Clinic found testicular abnormalities in boys on puberty blockers which, they theorise, may mean an elevated risk of testicular cancer.
Girls put on Lupron (a puberty blocker) for early adolescence suffered seizures and bone thinning in adulthood as a result. These side effects have been known for many years now, but the pharmaceutical industry has found a wonderful new market for these powerful drugs, thanks to trans activism.
I understand that you and your ilk prefer to call other people 'retards' and 'cunts' for actually reading the studies rather than rushing to deny anything that disturbs the slogan repetition they call thinking, but try working a bit of factual evidence into your discourse. You never know, it might even get you laid.
Israel doesn’t just talk about valuing life — it acts on it.
During Syria’s brutal civil war, Israel quietly ran “Operation Good Neighbor,” treating & saving thousands of wounded & starving Syrian civilians — including many children — in Israeli hospitals. All while Syria remained a sworn enemy.
Watch this powerful 2018 Conan O’Brien segment. The humanity on display is beautiful.
This is the same country that routinely treats Palestinian and Arab children with life-threatening illnesses their own systems cannot handle.
The contrast with its enemies could not be more stark.
Great news! Spinifex Press are publishing a book of anthologies about what happened at Albert Park, Auckland, in March 2023 when Kellie-Jay Keen was in NZ to front a ‘Let Women Speak’ rally.
A mob of transactivists went batshit-crazy feral that day to prevent women from doing a really ‘harmful’ thing - i.e. speaking.
Now, those women’s stories about that day, and the aftermath, are being told. The book, fully endorsed by Kellie-Jay Keen @ThePosieParker, is called ‘DON’T LET WOMEN SPEAK’, and will be published later this year.

During the Second Intifada, Palestinian factions would force schoolchildren to the checkpoints instead of letting them go to school.
While the kids threw rocks, armed gunmen would shoot live ammunition from behind them. When the IDF returned fire, many children got caught in the crossfire.
As soon as a child was killed, Hamas and Fatah activists would rush to the parents’ house, set up a mourning tent, and fight over who gets to claim the dead boy as their “martyr.”
The grieving parents could only stand there in shock.
This wasn’t resistance. It was a criminal strategy that used children as fuel for the conflict, and then exploited their deaths for political gain.
Whistleblowers in the NHS and at gender clinics have been trying to raise the alarm for a decade. There is no excuse for continuing to pretend that extremely vulnerable children haven't been irreparably harmed.
Bastard Children of Colonialism Calling the Only Legitimate Child a Bastard
Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq were all artificially created by colonial powers in the 20th century.
Israel was established in the exact same period, under the same international law.
Yet according to the Muslim world, Israel is the only “illegitimate” state in the region.
All the others have fake names with zero historical connection to the land. Israel carries the oldest name in the region, backed by history, archaeology, and continuous Jewish presence for thousands of years.
This isn’t about history, logic, or international law.
This is pure Islamic religious delusion dressed up as a noble cause.
They’re Burning America Down From The Inside
Most of the extreme hate you see online is not coming from real humans.
It is manufactured by organized troll farms run by Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Qatar, and Turkey.
Here’s how they destroy societies:
They find any existing division, between Republicans and Democrats, between races, between men and women, inside the same party, between Zionists and Palestinians, and they aggressively attack both sides at the same time.
They magnify every disagreement. They turn small cracks into massive canyons.
They take foreign problems and make them America’s obsession. They drain people’s energy and attention until Americans are busy fighting each other instead of taking care of their own country.
The strategy is simple but deadly: make Americans so busy hating one another that the country collapses from within, without a single shot being fired.
And right now, this tactic is working with terrifying success.
You can disagree with other points of view. Just make sure you don’t end up hating yourself and hating life in the process.
Stay aware.
