Sam Harris has triggered the hell out of Hamas supporters online by simply explaining a basic fact:

The Muslim terrorists who initiated a war against Israel on October 7 are facing the consequences of that war, not a genocide.

They invaded Israel shouting “Allah Akbar”, raped, murdered and burned over 1,000 Jews as Islamic acts of worship, and kidnapped hundreds more into Gaza.
They filmed their own atrocities with pride. They chose holy war, aka Jihad. Israel chose to fight back and destroy the enemy that attacked it.

That is not genocide.
That is war.

The people screaming “genocide” are the same ones who celebrated October 7 and still demand more Jewish blood.

They started the slaughter and now cry victim when Israel refuses to let them finish the job.

Sam Harris is doing what the media and politicians refuse to do: telling the truth without apology.

Do you agree with him? Yes/No?

What We Do in the Shadows (2014) is genuinely one of my favorite comedies but finding out they hired a friend to be IT on the set and tricked him into being the main character with no idea right up until the dude saw himself on a poster at Sundance is diabolical.

Bill Maher just dedicated the end of his show to throwing his own party under the bus for defending every minority group except Jews.

“There is a frothing anxiousness for the literal extermination of this one group. And Democrats, where are you?”

“If any other minority group was being talked about this way, you’d break out the Kente cloth and have 10 benefit concerts.”

“But because you see that so many of your brainwashed-by-TikTok constituents now have an unfavorable view of Israel, you indulge them when you should be correcting them.”

“All the people likely running for president now on the Democratic side want it known they don’t take money from AIPAC, the Israeli lobby… You take money from crypto and factory farmers and big tech, from Diddy and Weinstein and Epstein, but AIPAC is too far?”

“Let me just say this to all who ask me, ‘Why are you harder on the Democrats than you used to be?’ Until you fix this whole issue, stop asking me.”

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.

Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.

Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

RIGHT) The “Hands Off Iran” protest happening now in New York City

Exact same signs. Exact same chant

Both these protests are funded and organized by the NGO ‘The People’s Forum’

The People’s Forum is a NGO that has received over $20 million dollars from a billionaire who lives in China with ties to the CCP

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

I met a Palestinian economist from Gaza today who was the head of a technical team tasked with preparing the coastal enclave for the “day after” the Israeli disengagement or withdrawal of settlements in 2005. Despite his harsh stance on Israel, he reached out to me and expressed his gratitude for the work I’ve been doing, urging me to keep going and not to give up on Gaza. Most intriguing was the fact that he was commissioned by the controversial Palestinian political figure whose name is regularly floated as part of Gaza’s post-Hamas governance, Mohammed Dahlan. The economist oversaw a large and sprawling team and interacted with Israeli, Arab, and international teams and figures from the World Bank, especially the then-President James Wolfensohn, to prepare the Strip for a new era.

Dahlan accurately and prophetically told the economist that “if we don’t get Gaza right following the Israeli withdrawal [in 2005], there will never be a future for the territory and it will be a complete disaster.” Motivated to serve his people and country, the economist shared with me that the World Bank's James Wolfensohn spent his own money to preserve Gaza’s greenhouses and to implement extensive plans to protect what remained of the infrastructure left behind in the vacated Jewish settlements. He mentioned meeting with Hamas to inform them about what the plans and intentions were, but the terror group was ultimately determined to pursue its own course of action. After years of violent attacks during the Second Intifada, Hamas was determined to promote the armed resistance narrative as the reason why Israel was withdrawing from Gaza.

The economist, who again is not exactly a dove on Israel, said repeatedly during our conversations that in his talks with Israelis, he sensed “a sincerity” to see Gaza progress and develop, and that Israelis’ attitude was “we don’t want anything from you Palestinians except for you to succeed.” He spoke of incredible plans to spend billions on reviving Gaza’s economy, connecting the territory with the outside world and Israel, and of endless possibilities that would have “transformed Gaza into something truly remarkable,” as he and Dahlan said and believed.

Instead, the very day of the withdrawal, he said numerous militias belonging to Hamas were deployed in a disciplined, pre-determined, and militaristic fashion across all vacated Israeli settlements. Worse, he said that Palestinian Authority security personnel tasked with protecting remnants of Israeli settlements participated in the mass looting and destruction of what remained, ending any hope that these spaces would ever serve as springboards for Gaza’s rejuvenation and renaissance. It was then that he called Mohammed Dahlan and told him: “It’s all over – Gaza’s finished.”

The 2005 disengagement experiment was a horrific abdication of Palestinian agency and responsibility and a missed opportunity that cannot be solely blamed on Israel. That’s the painful and uncomfortable lesson.

[Ahmed Al-Khalidi @khalidi79397]

People often blame another collective for the exact wrongdoing that their own collective commits. Psychologists call this projection, but in real life it is simpler. When a group is too frightened to look in the mirror, it looks for an easier target. Blaming the other reinforces identity, hides internal failures, and creates a comforting story where responsibility always belongs to someone else. It is a way to avoid shame and convert weakness into certainty.

This becomes even more obvious when we look at the imbalance between the size of the global Muslim world and the tiny footprint of the Jewish people. There are about 2,000,000,000 Muslims alive today which is roughly 26% of humanity. There are fewer than 16,000,000 Jews, which is about 0.2% of the world. There are 50 Muslim-majority countries across the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. There is 1 Jewish state on a piece of land smaller than 0.1% of the territory controlled by Muslim countries. The combined land controlled by Muslim-majority states is close to 30,000,000 km², while Israel sits at about 22,000 km², which means the Muslim world controls more than 99.9% of the land between the two.

History tells a similar story. Muslim empires ruled or colonized vast regions across Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe for more than 1,300 years. Jewish political sovereignty existed almost nowhere for 2,000 years except in ancient history. The Muslim world produced massive imperial systems like the Ottoman Empire, the Mughal Empire, and the early Caliphates. The Jewish people spent most of history as a persecuted minority with no territory at all. Yet somehow the narrative is reversed. A large collective accuses the smallest collective on earth of doing the very things it has done on a scale thousands of times larger. This is not logic and it is not history. It is psychology. When a powerful group cannot face its own record it redirects the story toward the smallest and easiest target.

Once you see these numbers, the projection becomes impossible to ignore. A population of 2,000,000,000 blaming a population of 16,000,000 for global domination. A land mass of 30,000,000 km² accusing 22,000 km² of expansionism. A civilization that ruled continents describing a people who had no state for 2,000 years as colonizers. The math exposes the narrative. The psychology explains it. The refusal to look inward creates a need to blame outward. And the larger the collective, the stronger the temptation to assign its own failures to a smaller one.

I always say Israel is losing the PR war, but have a read at this...…….

Mitch Schneider

October 10 at 12:09 PM

“I keep hearing that Israel "lost the PR war."
And you know what? Fine. Sure. Whatever.
The world thinks we're monsters. The UN passed over 30 resolutions condemning us. College campuses exploded with protests. "Genocide" trended on Twitter for 700 days straight.

We lost the PR war. Congratulations to everyone who won it.

Now let me tell you what we won instead.
Two years ago, my country was surrounded. Hezbollah had 150,000 rockets aimed at us from the north. Hamas controlled Gaza with an army in tunnels beneath it. Iran was months from a nuclear weapon. The Houthis were firing missiles at our ships. Assad's Syria was an Iranian highway. Iraqi militias were itching for war.

We called it the "ring of fire." Iran spent 40 years building it.

Billions of dollars. Endless weapons. Thousands of fighters. All of it designed for one purpose: to destroy Israel in a coordinated attack.
October 7th was supposed to be the beginning. Hamas attacks from the south, Hezbollah from the north, militias from the east, Houthis from the sea. The final war.

You know what happened instead?
Israel dismantled the entire thing. Piece by piece. Threat by threat.
Not in some distant future. Not "eventually." In two years.

Nasrallah spent 32 years building Hezbollah into the most powerful non-state military in the world. Israel killed him in his bunker and took out his entire command structure in weeks.
Hezbollah isn't weakened. It's finished.

Iran built a nuclear program for decades. Israel set it back years. Killed their top scientists. Destroyed their facilities. Made the regime so weak that its own people are revolting.

Assad survived a civil war, Russian intervention, and American strikes. He couldn't survive losing his Iranian backers. His regime collapsed. The land bridge is gone.

The Houthis thought they could close the Red Sea. Israel crippled their long-range capabilities and neutralized the threat.

Hamas? Sinwar died in rubble clutching a stick. Haniyeh was eliminated in Tehran. Deif is gone. The tunnels are destroyed. And this week, Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.

Read that again. The terrorist organization that started this war by massacring 1,200 people just agreed to release every hostage and accept a ceasefire on Israel's terms.

So yeah. We lost the PR war. I'll take that loss.
Because here's what we gained:

My kids don't have to run to bomb shelters anymore. The north is being rebuilt. Hezbollah's rockets are gone. Iran's nuclear threat has been pushed back years. The tunnels under Gaza are rubble. The "ring of fire" is extinguished.

And now? The hostages are coming home. There's a ceasefire. The fighting can finally end.
Two years ago, we were facing an existential threat. Today, we're the dominant power in the Middle East.

Here's the thing about the "PR war" - it's a luxury. It's what people with security worry about. It's optics. It's perception. It's whether someone with a blue checkmark likes you.

Israel doesn't have that luxury. We never did.
When people scream "genocide," we're preventing one. When they cry "disproportionate," we're stopping rockets. When they demand "ceasefire," we're rescuing hostages.

While the world was busy judging us, we were busy surviving.

And not just surviving. Winning. Fundamentally, decisively, historically winning.

Iran's 40-year plan to surround and destroy Israel? Over. The axis of resistance? Shattered. The greatest coordinated threat in our history? Defeated.

So let me ask you something:
Would you rather win the PR war and lose your country? Or lose the PR war and secure your existence for the next 50 years?
Because that's the actual choice.
And Israel made it. Again.
The world can have its hashtags. We'll take our sovereignty.
They can have their protests. We'll take our security.

[Ahmed Al-Khalidi @khalidi79397]

As a Palestinian who openly opposes Hamas and rejects the glorified myths our society keeps repeating, I can’t stay silent about the sheer hypocrisy I see from many Western liberals.

How can you defend a movement that executes its own people, by shooting them in the street, without trial, for merely disagreeing or being labeled “collaborators”? How can you call that “resistance” while those very scenes mirror the barbarism you’d condemn anywhere else in the world?

You claim to stand for liberal values, for human rights, for justice. But your empathy collapses when the victims are Palestinians murdered by other Palestinians, when it doesn’t fit the neat narrative of oppressor and oppressed.

What does that say about your values, really?
If you can overlook public executions and rule by terror just because the perpetrators shout “liberation,” then maybe your solidarity isn’t rooted in morality but in ideology.
