@EchoesofWarYT She was a powerhouse of common sense. E.g., her October 1961 expose, “The Arabs of Palestine,” in The Atlantic Magazine, examined how Arab states had politically perpetuated the “refugee crisis” supposedly caused by Israel, which has been a plague on world affairs ever since.

[Captain Allen @CptAllenHistory]

On This Day — June 1, 1950

While the ashes of six million murdered Jews were still settling across Europe, one of the chief architects of the Holocaust received a shiny new passport from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Under the false name Ricardo Klement, Adolf Eichmann — the man who organized the deportation trains to Auschwitz, Treblinka, and other death camps — was handed a ticket to freedom.

He fled to Argentina, lived quietly, worked at a metal factory, and later for a company favored by Nazi-sympathizer President Juan Perón. His family joined him in 1952. For years, he lived openly, unrepentant, while the world moved on.

This was part of the infamous “ratlines.” The Red Cross, elements in the Vatican, and others helped thousands of Nazi war criminals — Franz Stangl (Commandant of Treblinka), Josef Mengele (“Angel of Death”), Klaus Barbie (“Butcher of Lyon”), and many more — escape justice to South America.

Eichmann was finally captured by Mossad in 1960, tried in Israel, and executed on June 1, 1962 — exactly 12 years after that Red Cross passport was issued.

The lesson is clear: When Jews were being hunted and murdered, much of the “civilized” world failed them — and then helped their murderers escape.

This is why Israel must always exist. Jews learned that when the killing starts, “humanitarians” will issue the murderers new passports instead of stopping them.

Israel is the only guarantee that when Jews are hunted, there will be a place for them — and a place that will hunt back.

@YvetteCooperMP The finger wagging couldn’t be more urgent & precise, Madam Secretary. It’s just that - that’s all it is. It’s only your finger, and it’s only wagging. Meanwhile, you’re not living next door to a massively IRGC-funded, -armed, & apocalyptic Islamist knife hanging over your head.

@WinstonColin @gantzbe Your proposed solution is thought-provoking. The most likely outcomes in the alternative are grim, so the Q becomes whether such an approach is viable. A broad coalition needs truly consensual sharing of political leadership. Not a skill Bibi & other key players seem capable of.

@ShabbosK Wait, you mean you wake up every morning & say your morning prayers, praising the God of Free Speech? Genuinely surprised. All this time, I thought you were Jewish.

[David Witus @David_Witus]

@hasanthehun Life was going swell until bad things happen “(((all at the behest of Israel))).” When you’re all powerful, it’s easy to get all involved in all the day-to-day affairs of social media nuts who talk all day long to themselves on twitch & let others listen, including Mossad agents.

Eire’s leaders lecture the world about their anti-colonialist morality as it applies to the Middle East while their government enables the perpetuation of Russia’s war machine against Ukraine because Russians own a factory that “creates jobs” & helps the local economy. Go figure.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.

There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.

Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.

@thundertick @Mr_Andrew_Fox @IanProwse The only people in a position to get any data “pouring out of Gaza” are not simply “Gazans.” They are also Hamas. The willful refusal to recognize that external facing Gaza is anyone or anything other than Hamas has led to incalculable damage to ordinary discernment capabilities.

@DoubleDownNews No polygraph needed. Casual tone of voice, low emotional intensity, lack of affect in facial expression, avoidance of camera. Zero indication of any actual trauma. All suggest a disconnect between what she says happened (presumably not too long ago) & what actually did happen.

[David Witus @David_Witus]

@suutsprite @AriochIV @compactmag @johnbyronkuhner Fiction & non-fiction are not antipodal & it’s foolish to apply the Greek word antipous ("with feet opposite ours") to them. Truth is a murky mixture of fact, legend, belief & consensus-driven fancy, whether enforced or voluntary. The “past” as presently understood reflects this.

[David Witus @David_Witus]

@anthonyzenkus @DanielDiMartino @gsaleguy A slumlord is like a gangbanger, isn’t it? A term invented to demonize any property owner who upstanding people decide seems sleazy. Whether that person did anything that is against the law - well, that’s another story.

[David Witus @David_Witus]

@itsmezina__ @kweansmom @mahmoudkhalel I think you misunderstand Khalil’s motivations. His interest is in helping to tear down popular American support for Israel. You can’t do that if you are not in the country.

[David Witus @David_Witus]

@JeffStoney1911 @JlmMyrrh @emilykschrader You may “know” things based on your personal speculations & ideological predilections. That’s fine, I guess, but to elaborate further on a well-worn saying, we are entitled to “know” only our own opinions. Beyond that, it is asinine to assert them as empirically provable facts.

[David Witus @David_Witus]

@emilykschrader This is obviously bad AI. The published book would be entitled “a Zionist entity conspiracy.””

@Quillette I happen to be in Greece at the moment, enjoying its natural beauty, rich culture & immense classical heritage. The story of Odysessus - mixing mythical with epic historical elements - belongs to the Greeks more than anyone. How is this "retelling” not cultural misappropriation?

@EricLDaugh The petit bourgeoisie is always the uppermost enemy of the pseudo-proletarians.

@Jn_Bllt @RimaHas False predicate, animus-driven conclusion.

[David Witus @David_Witus]

@brhodes The fact that Obama thought to hire you for a senior advisor role in his White House, & the fact that you thought you were ready to serve in such a role - well, that is two somethings.

[David Witus @David_Witus]

@heidilegg @paulswib @ErikWemple “Defend the craft,” so it can also “peddle the crap”? @nytimes editors have always had their own political agendas, covering stories with unwarranted sympathy (pro-Hamas campus takeovers) or bile (IDF dogs are trained rapists). All in the name of a free to be irresponsible press.

This is a Muslim Brotherhood backed organization that masquerades as a Jewish progressive voice but persistently echoes Hamas and Popular Front armed resistance narratives.

Jewish Voice for Peace has documented operational ties to Hatem Bazian, the UC Berkeley professor and co-founder of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) as well as, since 2006, chairman of American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), both implicated as Muslim Brotherhood fronts operating on American soil.

JVP, to which the Rockefeller Brothers Fund has given over half a million dollars since 2019, calls itself the “Jewish wing of the Palestinian solidarity movement” and advocates full Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions against Israel, including ending the US-Israel alliance.

After Hamas’s brutal October 7 massacre of Israeli civilians in 2023, JVP put out outrageous statements blaming Israel’s “apartheid and occupation” as “the source of all this violence,” shamelessly rationalizing Hamas’s atrocities.

This is who New York City Mayor Mamdani chose to sponsor his “Jewish Heritage Month.” Mamdani is a wolf in sheep’s clothing; make no mistake he is aware of all of this, and endorses it gleefully.
