@BillAckman Gazans were given a version of the Riviera when Israel gave them the keys to the kingdom. They elected Hamas and destroyed the kingdom. Get real.
@AnthropicAI For the second consecutive day I lost hours of irreplaceable work due to your platform failures. You admitted the problem both days but have done nothing to restore user data. There is no real support, just automated runaround. To the NY Times:#Claude#AIFail
@RepMTG Not smart. The same people who are your victims with the doubling of healthcare costs at the heart of all this will doubledown on getting even in the midterms.
For two decades, #Hamas poured billions of Western aid money into building underground terror tunnels, only for every single one to be destroyed.
New footage shows the demolition of a new found tunnel stretching 2.5 kilometers long and 39 meters deep, linking Khan Yunis to Rafah
Look into her eyes. #AhlamTamimi has built a spectacular media and influence career from the safety of Jordan. A career propelled by two key events: the pizzeria massacre of Jewish children that she calls "my operation"; and getting out of prison via an act of #Hamas extortion.
On the morning 1,200 Jews were butchered, raped, and burned alive by Hamas, @ZohranKMamdani and the DSA released this.
Not a statement mourning the dead.
Not a call to return kidnapped children.
Just justification.
Never forget it. 🧵#Jews#Hamas#Israel
One tired whataboutery I keep getting: “But Gaza was under total blockade! No flights, no airport, no port!”
Dear reader - let me spell it out.
Gaza wasn’t some dystopian “open-air prison” before Oct 7. Go on YouTube. Malls. Beaches. Fancy cafés. Weddings. Luxury homes. It looked more like a third-tier Mediterranean resort than a war zone. There are parts of Detroit that look worse.
But here’s the inconvenient truth: since 2007, Gaza’s been ruled by Hamas, a globally designated terrorist group. Not a government. Not even close. A militia that, alongside PIJ, carried out 116 suicide bombings between 1994–2005, killing 735 civilians and injuring over 4,500. That’s not “resistance.” That’s terrorism, textbook edition.
Now pay attention: In my autobiography, I detail how Hamas operatives were being trained by al-Qaeda in Afghanistan as early as 1992. By 1999, they took back with them the TATP mass-production method (a notoriously powerful explosive), and from 2000–2004, turned Gaza into a suicide bomb factory. The carnage? Predictable. And deliberate.
Still want to talk airports and seaports? Let’s be serious. IATA won’t authorize flights into a terrorist-run territory. IMO won’t touch its ports. Insurers won’t underwrite jack. No government, no regulation, no safety, no logistics.
And yes, even if Israel said “sure, open up”, nobody sane would fly or sail there.
And this was all with a blockade in place. Imagine the arms smuggling, the Iranian shipments, the chemical precursors, the heavy weapons, all flowing freely if there wasn’t a blockade. Hamas was already digging up EU-funded water pipes and turning them into rocket launchers. With a shipping lane and airstrip? You think they’d open up a Zara and a Starbucks?
If Hamas really cared, they could’ve renounced terrorism like others did, look Syria’s new leadership. Renounce violence and terror and all doors will be open!
Israel left Gaza in 2005. No one wanted to stay.
But as always, the Palestinians - bless them - never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
They chose tunnels over infrastructure. Rockets over schools. Martyrdom over medicine.
So, no. The blockade wasn’t some arbitrary cruelty. It was global consequence. Because when you act like terrorists, the world treats you like terrorists.
Simple.
@lisamurkowski You're a jerk. Excuses, excuses. How dare you try to justify caving to the man you fear more than you love your country. You need to resign. There are enough cowards in Congress.
If you think it's so immaterial, maybe call a few seniors in nursing homes and explain to them where they'll go next.
Call the mom of a kid with disabilities who won't be able to pay for a new wheelchair.
Call just one person whose life you're going to tear apart.
