25 years ago OTD in 2001, a Palestinian terrorist blew up Jerusalem’s Sbarro Pizzeria, murdering 16 people, incl. 7 children.

Among the victims was Australian Malki Roth z’l.

Today, the PA still pays millions to the terrorists responsible, while Jordan provides them safe haven.

Hi @jonstewart no, no there is not a genocide in Gaza. No those that define genocide have not decided it to be. No court or tribunal. No Israel is not trying to kill a group slowly. I've been to Gaza 7 times since October 7. Interviewed every Israeli leader in their chain of command. Observed the IDF in operations in Gaza. Their intent and actions is the opposite of trying to destroy in whole or part a group. @JohnFetterman is right. I am more than happy to talk this with you from any angle that you might have. Thank you for what you've done for American veterans and their families. But on this one, not correct. https://t.co/G7Iy9Ki3g5

If you want to understand why the useful idiots in the West support Islam, watch this scene from an HBO series.

A young woman, vacationing in Hawaii as the guest of a wealthy white family, watches native Hawaiians perform a traditional dance for tourists at the resort.

She is visibly uncomfortable, not because the tourists have mistreated anyone, but because she believes she is witnessing an imbalance of historical power.

In an effort to “make things right,” she encourages one of the Hawaiian men to steal a $75,000 bracelet from a white guest.

He refuses, explaining that he is not a thief. But she persists: “They stole Hawaii from you.”

In this moral framework, right and wrong are no longer determined by what a person does. They are determined by which group the person belongs to and which group has been assigned the role of historical victim.

This is precisely the lens through which Islam is now viewed by the left.

It is not that the useful idiots have never heard of jihad, apostasy laws, blasphemy laws, religious supremacy, or the subordination of women.

It is that these facts are morally irrelevant.

Islam has been assigned the role of the wounded, colonized, non-Western religion.

Christianity, Judaism, and the West have been assigned the role of the powerful.

Islam is no longer judged by the same moral standards applied to everyone else.

Practices that would be condemned instantly if defended by a Christian church, a Western government, or a conservative political movement are rationalized when they appear under the banner of Islam.

Criticism becomes “Islamophobia.” Examination becomes “bigotry.” The ideology is protected because its adherents have been placed within a favored political category.

The Hawaiian man in the HBO scene, the man who refuses to steal, is the person holding the moral high ground. He refuses to let historical grievance excuse personal wrongdoing.

But under the new moral code, his integrity becomes a problem.

He refuses to perform the role assigned to him. He rejects the idea that victimhood gives him permission to violate another person.

That is why the useful idiots hate Israel, Jews who refused to remain victims, and hate the UAE, Muslims who rejected the false narratives of victimhood.

It is five weeks since our then Foreign Sec @YvetteCooperMP described a ‘desperate’ food situation in Gaza and threw yet more of our tax payer money (£23m) at UNRWA (which isn’t operating in Gaza).
But at the same time UNICEF was measuring rates of malnutrition.
Its latest report shows that children in Gaza have less malnutrition than children in neighbouring Egypt and Jordan.
In an ideal world no children will be malnourished. No children will live in a war-zone, or be living in tents.
But this an example of the kind lies our government has been pushing on us for too long, designed to demonise Israel.

[HonestReporting @HonestReporting]

A Jewish author’s book launch is canceled after activist pressure makes her presence a “security risk.” Meanwhile, a major publisher promotes an author who has publicly described Jews as “demons,” “vampires,” and “parasites.”

This stark double standard reveals how Jewish voices are pushed out of cultural spaces and erased while antisemitic rhetoric is normalized. When institutions close their doors, Jewish communities must build and defend platforms of their own.

[Grok @grok]

Fallacies include: collective guilt attributing ancient revolts and modern actions to all Jews; exaggerated ancient death tolls from Dio Cassius (scholars note inflation); false Nazi-Zionist alignment (Haavara was limited emigration deal); anachronistic equation of 2nd-century revolt with continuous genocide (Jews historically more victims); selective omission of Roman reprisals and Jewish expulsions; theological claims as political fact; genetics of shared ancestry does not negate self-determination claims.

[Julia 💅 @JuliaGulia621]

Anti-Zionism is Russian propaganda invented in the 1970s after Israel allied with the US instead of the USSR. “Zio” was coined by David Duke, KKK Grand Wizard. This is not new to Jews. You think you’re fighting for justice but you’re a Russian puppet using Neo-Nazi terms. Congrats, you’re retarded.

My favorite speech, 50 years old but still extremely relevant: Pleading for My Land – Herbert Pagani (1976)

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

A new study commissioned by UNICEF shows that the nutritional situation in Gaza – contrary to all propaganda – is today better than in all neighboring Arab states and even better than in some European countries.

The proportion of acute malnutrition among children under five years of age is between 0.2 and 0.8 percent. In Egypt, it is 2.9 percent, in Jordan 2.0 percent, in Syria over 12 percent, and even in Bulgaria 4 percent.

In other words: There is no famine in Gaza.

Malnutrition is not only significantly below the critical values – it is exceptionally low in regional comparison.

Anyone who is still open to arguments can look at the empirical data themselves.

They said it was about the land. You believed them.

They said it was about two states. You believed them.

They said it was about “genocide” and “apartheid” and “open air prison”. You believed them.

They said it was “resistance”. You believed them.

They said it was about “Israel”. You believed them.

They said it was about “Zionists”. You believed them.

There was a Jew-hunt in Amsterdam, premediated, chasing and hunting Jews through the streets.

There was a mass shooting at a party in Australia as people celebrated a Jewish holiday.

There have been cries of “cancer Jews”.

People murdered in DC because they were thought to be Jewish.

A man and his son harassed in Italy because they were Jewish.

Synagogues have been vandalized and shot at.

50 children removed from an airplane, their counsellor violently beaten, because they’re Jewish.

Jewish businesses have been burnt to the ground.

Tell me.

Do you still believe them?

Because if you do, you’re part of the problem.

“They stripped him naked, soaked his body and tortured him with electric shocks for hours to force him to confess,” the relative said."

Then they executed him. By hanging him from a crane, to prolong the suffering. This is what ghouls in Britain are marching for.

[Aizenberg @Aizenberg55]

Whenever the IDF kills a Gaza police or security officer, media outlets rush to portray him as an innocent municipal worker. Yet case after case proves otherwise. Hamas has now admitted that Lieutenant Colonel Khaled al-Agha was a Qassam fighter in its artillery battalion.

[Eylon Levy @EylonALevy]

UNICEF just confirmed children in Gaza are better fed than the rest of the Middle East.

The “Gaza Famine” was always a hoax.

This is awkward for Israel haters. When a UN (no friend of Israel) organization (UNESCO) debunks the lie that Israel was "starving kids" it's worth a read. Israel genocidal? They botched it again!

Hezbollah planted an explosive device and killed two Israeli soldiers.

This was a violation of its ceasefire with Israel.

Leave it to @guardian to minimize this violation, instead focusing on the Israeli response.

For The Guardian, it's not news unless Israel can be portrayed as the aggressor.

[ISGAP @ISGAP]

For years, Jews have been accused of “controlling the media,” “controlling governments,” and “controlling education.” Yet when it comes to Qatar, we have clear proof of unprecedented influence campaigns in Western universities, media, and political spaces…and still, the world stays silent. It’s time to stop chasing imaginary villains and start talking honestly about Qatar’s very real efforts to shape the West through its education system and beyond.

THE NEW YORK TIMES GETS DEBUNKED BY ... THE NEW YORK TIMES:

The @nytimes' own archives undercut the outlet's characterization of Hamas's civilian shield strategy as a mere "Israeli accusation."

"The New York Times doesn’t need any more proof. It knows, by virtue of its previous reporting, that Hamas embeds weapons and personnel in the civilian population. It should report this as fact," @JKouzi36 writes.
