So sorry to hear this terrible news @RepDebDingell We are thinking of you and your family.

[Rep. Debbie Dingell @RepDebDingell]

Today I am returning home to be with my family during an incredibly painful and deeply personal time.

Our family’s 12-day-old daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter has returned home to God this afternoon. We have been in God’s hands throughout all of this.

For Greta Thunberg to stand in a German city wearing a top calling for “Intifada” within living memory of the Holocaust is GROTESQUE. To do it with a smile is SICK.

A senior Hamas official accidentally reveals the absolute truth in a Freudian slip during a television interview:

"We PALESTINIANS ARE NOT INDIGENOUS of this place. We are Arabs. Half of us are actually Egyptians, and the other half are Saudis. We are not from here!"

🇪🇸Spain in 1492: Expelled, killed, or forcibly converted all Jews.

🇪🇸Spain during the Holocaust: Closely aligned with the Nazis.

🇪🇸Spain after the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust: Accuses Israel of genocide.

🇪🇸Spain last year: Refused to grant asylum to Palestinians fleeing Gaza.

🇪🇸Spain after recognizing a Palestinian state: Refused to move its embassy to the Palestinian territories because its diplomats didn’t want to give up the “standard of living and security” they enjoyed in Israel.

🇪🇸Spain last summer: Called the police to remove 50 French Jewish teenagers from a Vueling flight after hearing one word in Hebrew.

🇪🇸Spain in March: Officially withdrew its ambassador from Israel, but left its embassy in Tehran.

🇪🇸Spain today: Marchers equate the Nazi swastika with the Star of David they used to mark their Jewish victims.

Now that is what being on the wrong side of history looks like. 🤦‍♂️

Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made.

For many in the West, the young, terrified woman in the middle, kept hostage for 15 months, represents the evil.

The armed, rapist, terrorist jihadis who surround her represent freedom and liberation.

Israel Derangement Syndrome decayed the minds of many who live amongst us.

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

Hamas leader Fathi Hammad torched the biggest lie in the Middle East.

He admitted that the so-called “Palestinians” are not indigenous at all — they’re Arab Muslims who invaded and settled in the Land of Israel from Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and every surrounding country.

There was never a “Palestinian people.” Only opportunistic Arab-Muslim colonizers who invented a national identity to wage Jihad on the Jews.

The left’s entire narrative was just destroyed — by one of their favorite terrorists.

This is the red-pill truth they’ve been trying to bury for decades.

I don't think @AbdulElSayed should respond to unwelcome information — not even criticism! — by just making stuff up.

This is a Tavern Research poll that wasn't funded by anyone, they're just doing polls.

“He's starting to figure out who he is.”

This is horrifying.

[Hussain Abdul-Hussain @hahussain]

Blame the Jews for everything that goes wrong. Where have I heard that before? Oh, right, antisemitism.

[Bernard-Henri Lévy @BHL]

Not a single word about Hamas’s responsibility for holding its own people hostage and turning them into human shields. That is called blindness—or worse, cowardice. Shame on you, Prime Minister. https://t.co/RLAC6RqSAH

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Graham Platner was accused of rape and every Democrat tossed him overboard.

Donald Trump was accused of rape multiple times and sexual assault and harassment many more times. Also the whole matter of trying to overturn an election.

Republicans nominated him a second time.

[Captain Allen @CptAllenHistory]

On July 4, 1943, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem met Heinrich Himmler — and was told that three million Jews had already been murdered.

Amin al-Husseini spent the day with top SS officers at Himmler’s field headquarters. Himmler confided in him about the ongoing genocide and even discussed Germany’s advancing nuclear program, promising an atomic weapon that would secure the “final victory.”

By then the Mufti was already a full partner in the Nazi project. He had met Hitler in 1941, received a lavish salary and residences from the Reich, and was actively recruiting tens of thousands of Muslims for the Waffen-SS in Bosnia and elsewhere. He broadcast vicious antisemitic propaganda on Radio Berlin, urging Arabs to “kill the Jews wherever you find them.”

The explicit goal was never hidden. In a top-secret letter from Foreign Minister Ribbentrop (and coordinated with Italy), the Axis powers promised the Mufti full support for Arab independence and the destruction of the Jewish National Home in Palestine.

Al-Husseini didn’t just hate Jews in theory. He worked directly with the men running the death camps, pushed for the bombing of Tel Aviv, trained Arab commandos for sabotage operations against Jews, and spent years trying to block any rescue or refuge for European Jews — all while the gas chambers ran at full capacity.

He chose the Nazis over every other option, including earlier Ottoman and British proposals that had offered Jews a national home while recognizing Arab rights. He bet everything on Hitler — and lost with him.

Some alliances don’t just fail. They make you an accomplice in history’s greatest crime.

250 years after July 4, 1776, the successor of King George III pays taxes and publishes his returns. The successor of George Washington does not. https://t.co/CbIXDe8UQY
