@spind0g @IhabHassane I don't think Congress wants you to merge your military with lying Palestinians.

@masonbonar @DRZinntoo @DefiyantlyFree The UN says?
The UN who said 600 aid trucks a day are needed in Gaza, although they know only 70 to 80 of those trucks must be food aid?
The UN who said "14,000 babies will die in the next 48 hours", instead of "14,000 children are at risk of malnutrition over the next year"?

Lebonese MP, yes in Lebanon talks about the precautions the IDF takes.

Oh my gosh I was shocked that his assessment doesn’t match Podcadistan.

Oh what the heck does he know. He’s only in Lebanon living it. The podcasters have like headsets and mics and stuff.

I met Ben once. We were seated at the same dinner table.

At first, we did not recognise each other. Neither of us had any idea we would end up at the same table.

I asked him where I knew him from. He replied, “Ben, from Ben & Jerry’s.”

I smiled and said, “Nice to meet you. I’m Alex, Deputy Consul General of Israel to the Southeastern United States.”

This was at the height of the Ben & Jerry’s Israel controversy. I decided not to raise politics, out of respect for our gracious host. But I was also biding my time, because I suspected he would not be able to resist bringing it up.

About an hour into dinner, he came over to talk.

I saw it as an opportunity to understand where he was coming from, to explain a few things, and to keep the conversation as civil as possible. And to be fair, it was civil. He was pleasant, curious, and polite.

But quite quickly, I also realised he was completely ignorant about Israel.

He had never visited the country or the region. He had basic facts wrong, not only about the narrative, but about the foundations of the conflict itself: the makeup of the countries involved, the history, and the deeply rooted reasons each side sees the conflict the way it does.

For him, it was simple: there are people who appear oppressed, so someone must be the oppressor.

I do not blame Ben personally. He is a businessman who sells ice cream. Why should he be expected to understand Israel, the Middle East, or geopolitics?

The real problem is with those who treat him as an authority.

The media gives him a pedestal to speak about issues he clearly does not understand. And that is the absurdity of it all: taking an ice cream salesman and presenting him as a voice of moral clarity on one of the most complex conflicts in the world.

On This Day — June 4, 1967

Israel stood completely alone — betrayed by its allies and facing annihilation.

France — Israel’s main arms supplier — imposed a total weapons embargo on Israel at the direct order of President Charles de Gaulle.

Already, every major Western power, including the United States, had Israel under a weapons embargo.

The Israeli Cabinet met in emergency session as massive Arab armies gathered on its borders. Egypt alone had nearly 100,000 troops and 1,000 tanks in Sinai, with Jordan, Syria, and Iraq adding more forces. Arab leaders were openly calling for Israel’s destruction.

A cable from U.S. President Lyndon Johnson made the situation brutally clear:

“Israel will not be alone unless it decides to go it alone.”

Israel got the message.

With no strategic depth, vastly outnumbered, and abandoned by its supposed friends, the Cabinet voted 12–2 to launch a preemptive strike on the largest Arab military, Egypt (which had already committed an act of war by closing the Straits of Tiran). The war would begin the next morning.

The mood across Israel was somber and resolute. Parks were dug up for mass graves. Schools became bomb shelters. Teenagers filled sandbags. The entire nation understood it faced an existential threat — a potential second Holocaust.

Yet on June 5, Israel acted.

This was the moment a small, isolated nation chose survival over waiting for the mercy of others.

Never forget how alone Israel truly was on the eve of the Six Day War.

You cannot hate the UN enough.

This interview with UN whistleblower Emma Reilly needs to be seen.

She worked inside the UN’s Human Rights Office and exposed how the organization has repeatedly covered up systematic child sexual abuse and sexual exploitation by UN peacekeepers and staff around the world, especially in places like the Central African Republic, Haiti, and DR Congo.

Instead of protecting the victims (many of them children), senior officials protected the perpetrators and retaliated against those who tried to speak out.

This isn’t ancient history. It’s ongoing. And yet the story barely made headlines before it was buried again.

The UN loves to lecture the world about human rights while shielding its own people from accountability for some of the worst crimes imaginable. How many more whistleblowers have to be destroyed before people admit the entire system is rotten?

Big thanks to Ali Tabrizi @IAMALITABRIZI for actually asking the questions the mainstream media won’t touch.

The UN doesn’t need more money or more power. It needs to be dismantled and replaced.

@EthanLevins2 Terror tunnels in Lebanon are still terror tunnels. They are used by Hezbollah instead of Hamas but they are still used against Israel.

Even if all of Hezbollah was eliminated it would not qualify as genocide. An ideological group doesn't fit the criteria.

[Adi @Adi13]

The Democratic/Islamist candidate Adam Hamawy worked at the European Hospital in Khan Younis.

Later, he described it as "a completely benign civilian hospital with no tunnels underneath it."

And here is the Hamas command center that was operating directly beneath it.

[Aizenberg @Aizenberg55]

The admission by Hamas & PIJ themselves that their fighters systematically posed as journalists is the most important storyline of the Gaza war. It means every bit of information out of Gaza was curated. It destroys the “genocide” narrative. This is why the story is ignored.

@jacquel74978582 @neyikaybettik How can you be so gullible as to believe such obvious lies?

[Shelley Cohen ✡️ 🇮🇱 🦋 🇦🇺 @Cockroachthecat]

@fizan145 @neyikaybettik There would be a reaction if there was any evidence, but there is not. It's lies and hearsay.

[Shelley Cohen ✡️ 🇮🇱 🦋 🇦🇺 @Cockroachthecat]

@TrevorIvers @neyikaybettik @sylvia2823 Yes, why not, because Israel is fighting terrorists who are not above using lies to attack them.
How can you believe such drivel. A dog "penetrated his anus in a trained manner"? A fire hose was used inside a man and he didn't suffer a ruptured colon and d!e?

[Shelley Cohen ✡️ 🇮🇱 🦋 🇦🇺 @Cockroachthecat]

@m_janetf @neyikaybettik @Skool_Dog @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer This is lies and hearsay.
A dog penetrated his anus "in a trained manner"?
What the hell does that mean? Has he had a dog penetrate him in an untrained manner to compare?
The man with the fire hose story would have a ruptured colon and d!e.
The founder of the publication is Gazan

[Shelley Cohen ✡️ 🇮🇱 🦋 🇦🇺 @Cockroachthecat]

@neyikaybettik Check the provinance and evidence backing that report.
You'll find the publication has ties to Hamas through its founder, who is a Palestinian from Gaza. You'll also find that there is no evidence for any of their claims beyond allegations and hearsay.
It's all "Trust me, bro!"

הערב מתקיים אירוע שחיכיתי לו כל חיי.

31 שנים אני מדמיין אותו והנה - סבתא רבא שלי, סבתא מינה האהובה, חוגגת היום 100!

מי ששרדה בקושי את אוושויץ עלתה לארץ באוניית מעפילים והקימה כאן משפחה עצומה, חוגגת היום וואחד ניצחון.

הניצחון הוא גם שלכם, תחגגו הערב לכבודה של סבתא מינה.

@mhdksafa Iranian Terrorist Proxy: *openly declared genocide, attacks Israel continuously for decades trying to carry it out*

Israel: *Fights back*

ITP: "Israel is genociding us!!!"

[Richard Curtin @Richard54092284]

@mhdksafa @JulianDonahue About 75,000 died in Gaza and according to Hamas half were fighters. If it were a genocide the death toll would be 750,000.

[Shelley Cohen ✡️ 🇮🇱 🦋 🇦🇺 @Cockroachthecat]

@mhdksafa Your video shows tunnels being blown up. Anyone down there is either Hamas or Hezbollah. If they d!e it's an act of war.
