Great article.

“ The UN has become one of the most dangerous instruments in modern geopolitics. Authoritarian regimes are using the UN’s prestige to normalise their behavior, conceal their crimes and peddle anti-Western propaganda. It should terrify all of us that the world’s most trusted watchdog has been successfully leveraged as a PR firm for tyrants.”

They killed my 2 year old great aunt at Auschwitz, along with every single person in her entire extended family - 79 people - except for her mother and my grandfather, the latter of whom the family had been able to hide in 1939 after one of his school friends died unexpectedly.

My great grandmother weighed 72 pounds when she was liberated, and she carried the scars of the medical torture she endured for the rest of her life. She was also left sterile, and deeply traumatized.

When she tried to go back to the house her family had owned for a hundred years, a neighbor family had moved in, and threatened her life if she didn’t leave town and never come back. When she tried to collect her parents’ life insurance, with the numbers her father had made everyone memorize, the insurance company said that without proof of death, they wouldn’t pay.

The only thing on that list that’s happening to trans people is the sterilization —- but y’all are doing that to yourselves. It is unbelievably offensive to victims of actual genocide for you to pretend that men being told to use men’s spaces is even in the same ballpark.

Hampstead Ponds is an interesting illustrating of the extent of the demands of trans activists.
There was already a mixed pond. Trans people could use it in safety & without having to 'out' themselves. But it wasn't enough. Why not?

➡️⚠️ A man who says he's a woman, caught with 1000 sickening images of babies and toddlers being r-ped, has walked free.

"Lucy" Dean, 27, from Macclesfield, accessed the dark web downloading horrific images over 2 years.

He told the judge he'd paid for therapy to "address [his] behaviour". He said felt "pure disgust" over the offences.

So much so he kept doing it for two years... 😖

Judge Michael Leeming handed him 200 hrs unpaid work and a 10 year SHPO.

What kind of so-called justice system let's a man who downloaded absolutely sickening horrific abuse of BABIES walk free -

AND indulges his lies about his sex by referring to him as a she/her ??

Absolutely vile. 🤬

HOW THE LAW WORKS: A THICKO’S GUIDE (UK EDITION)

1. The people elect MPs to sit in Parliament.

2. Parliament passes legislation.

3. Courts sometimes have to explain what a law means.

4. The Supreme Court is the last word on any legal disputes about the meaning of legislation.

5. Legislation often sets up independent bodies to produce guidance, codes and other material to help understand legislation.

6. Guidance and codes of practice are not law and do not override legislation. Courts can (and must) take a statutory Code into account if it’s relevant, but it still isn’t the law itself. If the law and a code are in conflict, the law prevails.

7. The EHRC Code of Practice has to be ‘laid before Parliament’ for it to come into effect. Once ‘laid’, the ‘coming into effect’ is automatic (i.e. no positive vote is necessary) after 40 days UNLESS Parliament disapproves it. This requires the lodging of a formal motion by enough MPs.

8. Disapproving a code of practice does not, and legally cannot, change the underlying law. It merely delays the implementation of the code.

9. For Parliament to ‘override’ the Supreme Court’s interpretation here, Parliament would have to pass new primary legislation repealing or amending all or part of the Equality Act.

10. Before embarking on passing new legislation on something so fundamental, it is customary (though sadly not compulsory) for such a plan to form part of a pre-general-election manifesto.

[Michael Foran @michaelpforan]

The Scottish Court of Session has just ruled that providing multi-user unisex toilets in a primary school amounted to indirect sex discrimination against female pupils.

Nice work @JenniferSey!

Montenegro, and all the other Balkan states, are being blackmailed: replace sex with "inner gender identity", or you cannot join the EU.

In other words: betray women and girls (and reality)

[Bev Jackson @BevJacksonAuth]

The audacity and hypocrisy of this woman are beyond belief.

Hunt laments ongoing “confusion” about sex and gender - which she has done more than anyone else in the UK to create.

She actually says - I’m not making this up - “It is our job to create good law.”

Hunt spent her entire time as CEO of Stonewall undermining the law, creating confusion and above all training public and private sector organisations nationwide to “go beyond the law.”

That meant - break the law. It meant acting as if the UK had sex self-ID. Which it has never had.

But institutions and organisations from the NHS to the police followed her lead. They misrepresented and broke the law.

And this monstrous individual - I’m sorry, I don’t use this word lightly - dares to say, in the House of Lords - in which her presence makes a mockery of our institutions:
“It is our job to create good law.”

How dare she.
How dare she!

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

The Free Speech Union has long warned that the official definition of Islamophobia — now repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — would be used to silence legitimate criticism of Islam.

Within weeks, Labour MPs had reported Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, branded him an “Islamophobe”, and called on the Prime Minister to remove him from his post.

Last week, 27 Labour MPs reported Reform UK to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), accusing the party of Islamophobia and urging the Commission to investigate.

Led by Afzal Khan, a leading campaigner for an official Islamophobia definition, the MPs cited Nigel Farage’s criticism of the mass Muslim prayer event in Trafalgar Square, alongside comments made by Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin.

This definition is already being weaponised to silence those who criticise Islam. It amounts to an Islamic blasphemy law by the back door.

[Sex Matters @SexMattersOrg]

NEW: Poll shows that the vast majority of people prefer straightforward single-sex facilities in workplaces and public spaces.

This varies little by age or voting pattern. Politicians who prevaricate over the Supreme Court judgment are out of step with the public.

Sex Matters commissioned an independent, nationally representative poll. We asked:

“For each of the following, do you prefer them to be single sex or mixed sex?”

[Shambo of Luxembourg @BradfemlyWalsh]

If it's obvious to you that cutting your legs off is the sign of a mentally ill man with a fetish then why do you think autistic kids wanting their breasts or cocks cut off is the sign of them embracing their true inner selves?

[Prof. Gary Francione @garylfrancione]

Please make no mistake about this: trans ideology, which maintains that an unverifiable/unfalsifiable notion called "gender identity" can trump/supplant biological sex, is nothing less than an explicit call to abolish women as a sex class. This is madness and it is morally wrong.

[Róisín Michaux @RoisinMichaux]

Transgender Europe, the secretive Berlin-based NGO that works to replace sex with 'gender identity' in EU countries via strategic litigation, has secured EU funding of €1 million per year for the next 3 years. This is separate from the money it receives for individual projects from the EU budget.

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

This is inversion so callous it's hard to believe.

The Holocaust had a survival rate of about 30%. Millions of people disappeared from European cities and towns over several years. Everybody knew because it was happening all around them.

Gaza has a survival rate, despite the worst and most deadly and horrible periods of the war, of 97%.

All the dead Jews were noncombatants. A large percentage of the dead Gazans were combatants.

And the Jews of Europe, even as their millennia-old civilization was being systematically wiped out, wanted nothing from the societies that surrounded them except to be allowed to live in peace.

Gaza's leadership of religious fanatics, meanwhile, wants every last Israeli dead and gone, is willing to fight to the last Gazan to achieve that aim, has said so publicly and worked for decades to blow up every peace attempt -- and even now believes that Gaza's destruction would be a worthwhile sacrifice to lay on the altar of Israel's destruction, because their god told them so.

So Israelis can reasonably believe, given those features of the Gaza war that aren't true about any genocide ever, and were pretty much the opposite of what was happening in the Holocaust, that Gaza's suffering is a bad and painful war, but not remotely a genocide.

But the point of it all, of course, is not to analyze Gaza, but specifically to lump it together with the Holocaust -- to cast the Jews as the new Nazis.

The only reason this person would dare to make such an insanely ahistorical and immoral parallel is because this is the heart of the bigoted propaganda campaign in which he enthusiastically participates: The point of it all is to make the Jews into the Nazis.

A culture that obsessed about Jews being evil and was then shocked by the Holocaust into obsessing about dead Jews as the apotheosis of righteous victimhood is now obsessively engaged in knocking Jews off that moral pedestal they themselves put them on.

That's why they don't care one whit about Hamas massacres of Gazans, about genocidal wars in Syria or Yemen (even when they've funded and armed the sides), about flotilla activists currently held by the Libyans...literally nothing triggers a response except Jews.

They still, even after all these generations, no matter what else is happening in the world or in their own societies, can't stop thinking about Jews.

And as we Jews learned in the 1940s -- the actual, historical 1940s, not the weird fantasies conjured up by these bigots -- a whole society can be in the grip of a callous, destructive bigotry and still believe it is true and righteous.

This was 7 October 2023.

Palestinian terrorists murdered their mother and took photos of her crying babies near the mother's dead body.

Never forget why Israel is at war 📌

He had a life. He had a family. He did nothing wrong.

He died alone, in the dark.
