Defenders — and some critics — of Hasan Piker just don’t get it. The issue isn’t (just) that he lumps all Jews together and holds us all accountable for the supposed evils of Israel. It’s that his nonstop drive to demonize the world’s sole Jewish state, along with those who support its survival, crosses the line — by miles — between criticism and Jew hatred of the ancient variety. 

Also, Mr. Piker, Zionism is in fact bound up with Judaism. It is not “false conflation.” Yes, some Jews are anti-Zionists. And yes, you have helped turned the Z-word into a slur such that large numbers of Jews, particularly younger ones, disown it partly out of misunderstanding. But when Jews are attacked for supporting Israel, they are being attacked for a core part of their Jewish identity. It is Jew hatred, it is unacceptable, and your rhetoric encourages it. Spare us all your taxonomy of good Jews and bad Jews.

Rant incoming: Why is the United Nations so afraid of @GHFUpdates?

Google co-founder Sergey Brin recently called the UN “transparently antisemitic.” That’s true, but it’s only part of the story.

The UN and its vast ecosystem of grifters have built a sprawling financial empire on the back of easy antisemitism. UNRWA, the agency that’s run Gaza’s aid-state for decades, is the pilot program — the template for how other relief agencies can launder Western taxpayer money under the guise of humanitarianism.

It is a fact that UNRWA employees have engaged in terrorism. It is a fact that UNRWA has cultivated a symbiotic relationship with Hamas: UNRWA supplies the food and medical aid, Hamas controls the streets and weaponizes the aid system to sustain its rule. UNRWA keeps the Gazan population dependent, and Hamas ensures UNRWA stays relevant. It’s a closed loop — funded by you.

Gaza has been a welfare client of the UN for decades. Not because of Israel — which fully withdrew in 2005 — but because UNRWA needs a crisis to justify its existence. And the UN needs the grift to keep flowing. Gazans have become the ultimate victim population because, in the halls of the UN, anything is permitted — if not outright enabled — as long as it can be used as a weapon to bludgeon the Jewish state.

UNIFIL, another hollow UN operation in Lebanon, turned a blind eye as Hezbollah stockpiled missiles and tunneled into Israel. They didn't just fail — they enabled.

October 7 exposed the UN as a captured institution. The Secretary-General refused to condemn Hamas’s atrocities without equivocation. UNRWA’s leadership engaged in coverups. And now, Israel’s counteroffensive has shined a spotlight on the billions wasted and the decades of fraud that prop up the UN’s humanitarian-industrial complex.

Enter GHF.

Why would the UN care if another group hands out food in Gaza? Why would it care that American veterans are protecting aid convoys and keeping supplies out of Hamas’s hands?

Because GHF’s success is existentially threatening to the UN’s model. If GHF works, the whole UN paradigm collapses.

No more plausible deniability. No more working “through partners” who happen to be terrorists. No more junkets and photo ops for people like Francesca Albanese and Philippe Lazzarini, who get feted around the world for overseeing human misery.

The fight over Gaza aid isn’t just about Gaza — it’s about the system the UN has built in Gaza and exported to Sudan, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and beyond. Gaza is the perfect petri dish: you can do anything and blame Israel.

That’s why the UN’s talking heads are smearing GHF — not for doing harm, but for committing the unpardonable sin of delivering food without collaborating with terrorists. Nothing is stopping the UN from setting up 400 aid distribution points tomorrow.

So instead of admitting failure, they attack the people who are actually feeding hungry Gazans.

Make no mistake: the UN’s aid mechanisms have prolonged this war, increased suffering, and entrenched Hamas rule. By channeling aid through terror, they have made recovery impossible.

The source of Gaza’s suffering is clear. And it's not the GHF.

Dear Members of the @PulitzerPrizes board,

My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days.

On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival.

For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me - because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels.

So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha.

This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?” He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage. These are not word games - they are outright denials of documented atrocities.

You claim to honor journalism that upholds truth, democracy, and human dignity. And yet you have chosen to elevate a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered.

Do you not see what this means? Mosab Abu Toha is not a courageous writer. He is the modern-day equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And by honoring him, you have joined him in the shadows of denial.

This is not a question of politics. This is a question of humanity. And today, you have failed it.

“I weep with happiness as the hostages return home,” writes Gideon Black, who was wounded in the Hamas bus bombing that killed his cousin. “But how can this be the price of their liberation?”

What a powerful morning! Celebrated a beautiful baby naming at one synagogue & rushed to another for a Brit Milah, baby was named BenZion - son of Zion.

Let's always stand tall & proud of our Zionism, everywhere we go.

May he grow to embody the meaning of his name with pride🇮🇱

Kfir Bibas is marking his first birthday as a captive in Gaza.

Today we’re asking people around the world to share Kfir’s story with the hashtag #KfirOneYear to raise awareness for Kfir and all of the hostages.

Let’s get #KfirOneYear trending worldwide.

[Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer]

Five days ago, we exposed a Telegram group of 3,000 UNRWA teachers in Gaza replete with praise of the Hamas massacre of October 7th.

UNRWA cast doubt that they work for them. The UN spox disparaged us.

This 🧵 will show how the group admins and members are indeed part of UNRWA.

Not everyone calling for a ceasefire wants Israel to cease to exist. But everyone who wants Israel to cease to exist is calling for a ceasefire.

Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic Republic of Iran are all calling for a ceasefire.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

Those calling for a ceasefire seem to have forgotten that there was a ceasefire in place on October 7.

Hamas broke it the moment it barbarically murdered more than 1400 Israelis on Israeli soil.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

Hamas is on a mission to wipe out Israel “from the river to the sea”—a mission from which it will never cease despite calls for a ceasefire.

“From the river to the sea” is not “an aspirational call” for “peaceful coexistence.”

It is a genocidal call for ending the existence of the world’s only Jewish State.
