There is no such thing as can’t. “I Can’t” means you stopped trying.

[Yossi BenYakar @YossiBenYakar]

A fearless nun who rescued Christian and Yazidi slaves from ISIS in Syria made a direct and uncomfortable statement: “ISIS is Islam. Islam is ISIS.”
After witnessing the horrors firsthand, she accused the Western world of protecting Islam’s false image as a “religion of peace,” while ignoring the genocide and enslavement of non-Muslim minorities across the Muslim world.

She argues that the West must stop defending this ideology and start protecting the people who are actually being persecuted. Her words are hard to hear, but they come from someone who saw the reality up close.

I promise I'm not making this up.

Joe Rogan — who has 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 of listeners and considers himself well-informed — was asked by Gad Saad to guess the number of Jewish people in the world.

His answer: 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻.

He then took the "conservative" position: 500 million.

The actual answer — which Gad Saad had to deliver like a man defusing a bomb — is 𝟭𝟯 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻. Total. On the entire planet.

Rogan's joking response: 𝘚𝘩𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘰𝘧𝘧. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘶𝘺'𝘴 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘺.

He was off by a factor of 70.

Here's what makes this more than just funny. The Jewish people represent 0.2% of the world's population. 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁. For every single Jewish person on earth there are 100 Muslims. And yet Jews account for somewhere between 25 and 30 percent of all Nobel Prize winners in history.

The most persecuted people in human history. The smallest major religious minority on the planet. And somehow the source of more Nobel laureates, more scientific breakthroughs, more literary giants and more cultural contributions per capita than any group that has ever existed.

𝟭𝟰,𝟮𝟬𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲. That's it. There are more people in metropolitan Tokyo. And this morning in London, someone burned their ambulances.

Context matters. Numbers matter. And sometimes the most important thing you can do is just look them up.

Bill Clinton: “I killed myself trying to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. You name it. They turned it all down.”

The Palestinians never wanted peace.

[The Greasy Walrus of Monte Cristo @Beaf333]

Just checked the social media feed of @IndJewishVoices

Not a single word about the 3 shootings at Toronto synagogues over the past week. Radio silence.

It says a lot about how Jewish this organization really is, when certain unions are looking for trainers about antisemitism.

Wow. Must watch.

Heckler shouts Free Palestine during German Chancellor Merz speech.

He confidently responds with

“WE STAND WITH ISRAEL” followed by powerful words.

Crowd erupts in applause!

He knows that “Free Palestine” is the new “Heil Hitler”

All the new armchair international law graduates would do well to heed Dr. Natasha @HausdorffMedia analysis on the application of the Law of Armed Conflict.

Moreover, in the fog of war, “we need to be careful about repeating Iranian state propaganda.”

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

Breaking: The regime in Iran has now admitted that the IRGC mistakenly bombed an Iranian school yesterday, killing many children.

Sadly, bad actors have exploited the death and war fog to help the Iranian regime hide this crime and avoid accountability.

Among the people who circulated these lies blaming Israel and America for killing the schoolchildren were @Malala and @zarahsultana, who are known for being unreliable sources of information and for spreading lies and misinformation against Israel without mentioning that the sources are all parroting Hamas.

"If you allow anti-Zionism to become institutionalized, legislated, respectable in Canada, your Jewish community will be gone."

Dr. @EinatWilf's testimony to the Subcommittee of International Human Rights made it clear that APR and anti-Zionism are dangerous ideologies that threaten the safety and well-being of the Jewish community.

[Bassem Eid @realbassemeid]

This is my message to my fellow Palestinians brothers and sisters — Hamas does not care about the Palestinian people. It’s a terrorist organization that only cares about increasing its own power.

[Shirion Collective @ShirionOrg]

This is the quickest, best explanation I’ve ever heard.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Hamas survivor Agam Berger stood at Hostages Square to support Ran Gvili’s family, playing “Habayta” (Home), the anthem of the hostages’ families.

Ran Gvili has been held in Gaza for over two years.

Everyone should be fighting for Ran’s return, not only the released hostages.

Canadians stand with the brave people of Iran.

We know that the Islamic regime is not only a threat to Iranians, but also a threat to us and all who value freedom and democracy. #FreeIran

WATCH: Amid the horrors of the Bondi Beach Hanukkah massacre, Jessica heroically shielded three-year-old Gigi, a child she did not know, with her own body, protecting her from terrorist gunfire.

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

The Jewish community came to Bondi to light the second candle of Hanukkah and is singing songs of peace, because this is who we are, a peaceful people who just want to live freely.

Yoseph Haddad, an Arab Israeli who was a commander in the IDF, came to the University of Michigan to debate anti-Israel students on whether Israel is an apartheid state.

You will be blown away by how ignorant those students are.

[Kevin Vuong 🇨🇦 @KevinVuongxMP]

I will never eat here.

In this video, Shawarma Royale’s not only inciting violence against Jews & Israelis, they’re also normalizing violence against the Black community.

Where are the condemnations from those who claim to be “anti-racism”?
