UN rights chief: parading of bodies in Gaza abhorrent - Reuters. UN finally used a dictionary to find an appropriate word for this sh*t https://t.co/UnZ4VTV48s
A truly devastating, gut-wrenching piece by @SethAMandel. How painful it must have been to write these words:
"The crimes against the Bibas family are indeed the symbol of the anti-civilizational menace that is Hamas—but also of the cowardice of the political and cultural leaders of the enlightened West. Yes, we should be ashamed of our fellow Americans, who not only won’t mention the Bibas family but won’t even learn the name of a single American hostage held in Gaza throughout the war....
Kfir’s face became a symbol of the conflict because it represented a line that had been crossed and cannot be uncrossed. Members of Congress giddily attended tentifada demonstrations that were no longer simply 'pro-Palestine' or 'anticolonial'; they were about defending those who stole Kfir from his home and dragged him to Gaza where, according to Hamas, he died. And it is impossible for the rest of us to pretend that we didn’t see a chunk of society, whether in person or online, rush to cross that line and cheer the people who kidnapped a baby....
Kfir became a symbol because he is the answer to every relevant question about this conflict. His case is the war boiled down to its essence. Kfir is the dividing line. In a better world, there’d be no one standing on the wrong side of it."
@CherylWroteIt The whole thing is sickening. Hot ages should have been released unconditionally on day 1. All of them. There NEVER should have been hostages in the first place. Now THIS? It’s all too much. My heart goes to any hostage family or hostage family adjacent, it’s just terrifying

I’m a Christian visiting Israel, and here is what I’ve learned: Far too many people have confused their empathy for Palestinians with hatred towards Jews. As I walked around these sites that were destroyed on October 7th, places where both Jews and non-Jews were murdered by Hamas, I kept thinking with frustration, “I know what my comment section will look like if I talk about this.” Because, let’s be honest, there is an obvious double standard when it comes to talking about antisemitism and Jewish suffering generally.
Since I’ve been here, my comment section has been flooded with hundreds of people telling me that if I travel to Israel as a Christian, if I embrace my Christianity here, that I will be spat on and harassed by the Jewish community in Israel. Well, I’m here to say that that couldn’t be farther from the truth. I’ve been to Israel many times, and I can say that the closest I came to harassment on this trip was when my Jewish host family kept feeding me challah and I almost fell into a carb induced coma. The love I’ve received, from being recognized by a girl in seminary to our hostess becoming my adopted Jewish mother, my time in Israel is consistently marked by the amazing people I interact with here 🤍
Am yisrael chai. Be back soon 🤍
BREAKING: The WSJ reports that the UN’s Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide has been dismissed after refusing to say that the campaign in Gaza fits the definition of a genocide based on the evidence.
Alice Nderitu, an accomplished mediator specializing in genocide prevention, led an office that issued a guidance paper on the proper use of the term “genocide.” The paper emphasized that UN officials should “adhere to the correct usage” of the term due to its political and legal sensitivities and its frequent misuse to describe large-scale crimes against specific populations.
Nderitu, who has served at the UN since 2020, was dismissed for asserting that Israel’s war with Hamas does not constitute genocide. She explained that while the conflict has caused significant loss of life, Israel’s actions aim to dismantle a terrorist regime, not to exterminate an ethnic group. She also noted that Israel has made efforts to minimize civilian casualties, even as Hamas uses civilians as human shields to exploit their deaths for propaganda.
Her position clashes with UN Secretary-General António Guterres’s manufactured narrative.
The UN is not neutral or impartial when it comes to Israel— you can’t deny it now.
The obsession with high-protein diets has gone too far.
