A few hours before the Islamist terror attack on the Berlin Pride parade (CSD), demonstrators (International Queer Pride) called for an intifada. The terrorist Abdul B. then delivered murder and intifada. Exactly as ordered. #Berlin #Terror #b2507

Dear Iain, I would encourage you to listen back to the clip before continuing to misrepresent it. It was a year ago, so perhaps you should be forgiven.

I certainly didn’t insult anyone, unless you consider the truth to be insulting? It is possible that Michael Mansfield shares such a belief - it is he who rudely left a conversation on the radio, seemingly unable to stomach being corrected on the law.

I don’t tend to engage on X, because it is not the best use of time, but I make an exception here, in light of David’s valiant efforts and since it is a medium in which you can’t cut me off - it seems like a good opportunity to set the record straight.

Your earlier guest had misled your audience when he claimed that Israel was losing its democracy. Despite the passage of time since our conversation, you can see that Israel is still a thriving democracy and is preparing itself for yet another democratic election. The only real democracy in the Middle East. True, not a high bar, but Israel's democratic practises can also put many European countries to shame. It is a pity that you did not allow me the time during the program to explain this.

As we progressed in the conversation, you gave an example which was wholly inappropriate: you suggested that you might be barred from entering due to having criticised Israel. I said that misrepresented what these two MPs had done, and you cut me off. Had you not done so, I would have told you that your example flies in the face of the fact that Israel has free press and free speech. It is a place where everybody can - and many do - criticise Israel, its Government, its Prime Minister or any other body or person. All you would have to do is turn on Israeli TV (with subtitles?) and this would be evident to you.

What was even more egregious, however, was the suggestion that the falsehoods these MPs had told immigration officials, and their campaign for BDS - a vehicle for incitement and the attempted destruction of Israel - is somehow comparable with “criticism”. Immigration turned these politicians away under a framework parallel to the one we deploy in the UK.

Vandalism funded by France.

France, UNESCO's host country, financed the Palestinian Authority's bulldozing through Sebastia’s ancient archaeological site to construct a playground. Now, the PA is asking @UNESCO for emergency "protection."

Destroying an archeological site and claiming it needs protection is sheer hypocrisy.

Harrowing testimony from Australian Jewish leader, and a dear friend, Lesli Berger, speaking at the Royal Commission on Antisemitism & Social Cohesion today.

Noting that his home had previously been targeted with a swastika, Lesli broke down in tears on the stand, recalling the panic and fear of his two younger children, who no longer felt safe in their own home on the day of the Bondi attack (Lesli and his wife had been out, and the children were alone at home).

No child should ever be fearful like this. EVER. Sadly just another jarring reminder how much work is ahead of us!

If there is however any semblance of hope, it is how Lesli describes his non-Jewish friend immediately rushed to their home to take the children to their place. There are still - many - good and decent Australians.

Dear UK, France, Germany, Canada, Spain, Norway, Netherlands, Australia, Switzerland, Austria, Finland:

Given that Nicaragua's dictator just announced no more elections, maybe it wasn't such a good idea for you to elect him to the U.N. committee overseeing human rights NGOs.

Why are they so afraid of the truth?

🚨Our groundbreaking new 129-page report is the first comprehensive mapping of the organizations behind Britain's post-Oct 7 anti-Israel, antisemitic protest movement.

6 groups coordinated the vast majority of the major protests we analyzed, with a protest network including foreign funding, major transparency gaps, and groups with links to extremist organizations. 🧵>>

Stop the presses: The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) @pressfreedom has launched a full review of its "journalists killed in Gaza" list - and just showed board member @Nikasoonshiong the door.

This didn't happen by accident.

It happened because HonestReporting helped put them in an untenable position. 🧵

BREAKING: Complete chaos on the streets of Beirut, as Iran-backed terrorists riot in the streets.

Notice how they wave Hezbollah and Islamic Republic flags.

Zero Lebanese flags can be seen.

[Aizenberg @Aizenberg55]

A key “proof” in the UN inquiry alleging Israel deliberately targeted children is a story of a quadcopter descending to ground level to see inside a tent to snipe a breastfeeding baby in the head—all by design. There is zero evidence for this, rebuttal below. Beyond absurd.

I wonder why this same Oxford Union refused for more than five months to release the video of my debate there.

[Heidi Bachram @HeidiBachram]

Australian Flotilla member Juliet Lamont says the IDF “broke my coccyx” and leans forward to point at her back. How is it possible for her to sit and move around so comfortably with a broken coccyx. Doesn’t it take months to heal? Curious miracle healing strikes again.

[Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer]

No Joke: the Chair of the UN panel that will rule on the complaint against Francesca Albanese for violating the UN Code of Conduct is George Katrougalos — a major defender of both Hamas and Albanese.

In 2025, Katrougalos:
🇨🇳 took $100,000 from China
🇨🇳 promoted Xi Jinping's book

[Josh Frydenberg @JoshFrydenberg]

The hate, harassment and violent antisemitism directed at Jewish Australians did not stop with the Bondi massacre.

Online monitoring by The Dor Foundation, which I am honoured to Chair, has identified a sustained campaign of severe abuse targeting witnesses after their testimony to the Royal Commission. It has included death threats, degrading and dehumanising language directed at children and Holocaust denial.

As Dor CEO Tahli Blicblau has said “We wouldn’t tolerate this sort of language or conduct in the physical world, and we shouldn’t tolerate it online where it can reach millions of people.”

In light of this material, I welcome the important statement by Commissioner Virginia Bell:

“We have received reports from a number of witnesses concerning a dramatic increase in online hate messages after they have given evidence. I should indicate that in one instance the matter has been referred to the Australian Federal Police for investigation.

The Commission is keeping a close eye on these instances and recording these offensive social media posts.

Quite what this undiluted level of hatred and bigotry directed towards members of the Jewish community is thought to benefit by those who post these remarks is lost on me.

But the Commission has as one of its principal objects understanding and assessing the lived experience of antisemitism by members of the Jewish community and it is being informed by conduct of this character.”

If anything this continued online abuse reinforces the need for the Royal Commission as we must bring an end to this tsunami of hate and antisemitism that is causing so much damage to our country and its citizens.

The Hamas useful idiots on the Gaza Flotilla boats are now throwing packets of chocolate in the ocean near Cyprus so it can get to "kids in Gaza."

Holy shit they're so fucking stupid.

😂 This “Nakba Survivor” is literally a “European settler”

In the late 19th century, Muslim Bosnians (including Inea’s grandparents), fled Bosnia to Ottoman Syria, after Austria-Hungary took control of Bosnia.

They feared that now, the Christians will seek revenge after years of mistreatment.

Inea’s father’s family lived in Tulkaram, but he himself lived in Jerusalem where Inea was born.

In the 1930’s, Inea’s father had a Job in England, he returned to Mandatory Palestine after a few years, but in 1948 they decided to move back to England.

They were not expelled, and no one forced them to move to England. As a matter of fact, Tulkaram, and the old city of Jerusalem remained under Jordanian Arab control. Not a single Zionist to bee seen there.

So in summary, this is a European with no strong roots in the land of Israel, whose family made the decision to immigrate back to the continent of their grandparents instead of remaining under Arab control.

(And the “visit Palestine” poster on her wall is a Zionist poster by Franz Kraus to encourage Zionist tourism to the holy land. It’s not even the original poster, but a replica of the poster, with an additional Hebrew description mentioning his name 🤦‍♂️)
