Seems like NYT knows that the antizionist hate movement gives them all the clicks in the world.

So…they just give them what they want, and to hell with actual journalism!

BREAKING: Iranin official says the missiles attack on Israel this evening is a response to Israel attacking Hezbollah, its proxy, in Lebanon.

Confirming Hezbollah not a Lebanese terror group but an imperial Iranian proxy.

Israel is sometimes wrong. I've written about Israeli wrongs hundreds of times.

Arabs who demand the right to relitigate the 1940s -- but just one teensy little sliver of the 1940s -- in order to argue that the Jewish state should be demolished, even as that same history teaches us that Jews cannot actually live in safety in the Arab world itself, are liars and bigots.

Even if Israel is sometimes wrong.

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

If the Arabs hadn't ethnically cleansed every last Jew in their midst, a Jewish-majority Israel also wouldn't exist.

[Eitan Fischberger @EFischberger]

According to the official body representing Muslim police officers in Britain, pointing out that Hamas beheaded and raped people on October 7 makes you Islamophobic.

That's the position laid out in a since-deleted policy paper by the National Association of Muslim Police, which defended Hamas against "unverified stories about acts of violence" and claimed the reports "significantly contributed to increasing hatred towards Islam."

NAMP is affiliated to 16 of Britain's 43 police forces. The College of Policing calls them "an important part of policing" that plays "a crucial role in supporting our workforce."

The same paper, written by NAMP's then vice-president, describes the IDF as a "Zionist terrorist group" and brands Zionism as "one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred."

This is legitimately terrifying.

@ZackPolanski Not that facts matter to you, but Mandela never said it. Mandela also never targeted or murdered civilians. You can’t hypnotize us to believe lies.

Per Al Jazeera, Israel struck a UAV warehouse in Tehran.

By tomorrow, Al Jazeera will probably amend its report to say it was a pediatric oncology center, a school for gifted orphans, and the regional headquarters of Human Rights Journalists Without Borders.

Flashback:
Mahmoud Habbash, the adviser to the Palestinian president, has revealed that Hamas deliberately kills women and children in Gaza in order to damage Israel’s image. They use them as human shields and then sacrifice their bodies as propaganda tools.

This is not a secret. This is official Palestinian Authority admission.
Time and time again, Hamas starts futile wars against Israel, using women and children in Gaza as human shields to cause their deliberate deaths.

Once the bodies pile up, Hamas and its supporters parade the corpses in front of cameras to accuse Israel of “genocide.”

The Western media, hungry for dramatic images and hostile to Israel, happily plays along with this grotesque propaganda.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

🚨🇺🇸🇱🇧🇮🇱A U.S. official told me: "Iran, Hezbollah, and others have repeatedly dragged both Israel and Lebanon into pointless and destructive conflicts"
🚨🇺🇸🇱🇧🇮🇱The U.S. official added: "Hezbollah has a simple choice: it can continue fighting a pointless war, or it can finally allow the return of the displaced and the reconstruction of Lebanon"
​🚨🇺🇸🇱🇧🇮🇱The U.S. official claimed "the terms on the table are fair, have the consent of both sovereign governments, and provide a clear path to end the fighting. Hezbollah is exclusively to blame for any continuation of hostilities"
🚨🇺🇸🇱🇧🇮🇱The U.S. official stressed: The U.S. supports Israel’s right to self-defense and stands with the legitimate Government of Lebanon as it works to deliver a better future for its citizens. Hezbollah must stop firing immediately and allow these agreements to take effect"
🚨🇺🇸🇱🇧🇮🇱According to the U.S. official: "Hezbollah continues to cynically use civilian infrastructure, particularly civilian homes, to hide and store weapons. This endangers the lives and property of Lebanese civilians. All weapons must belong to the Government of Lebanon"
🚨🇺🇸🇱🇧🇮🇱The U.S. official noted: "The U.S. fully supports Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. This process is intended to sustainably enable Lebanon to be a sovereign state for the first time in decades, which will benefit Israel’s security"

Shimon Peres on Face the Nation in 1975.

“Many countries including even Syria and the Soviet Union, Egypt, Arab countries, European countries have suggested another way. They have said that if Israel says it will live within the borders of 1967 that is to say before the June war of 67, that then they will join in creating a system of peace in which Israel will get the protection of international acceptance.

… let’s not forget that up to 67 Israel was within the 67 frontiers and yet we never had peace.”

If you look really really really hard, you might be able to spot the difference between the treatment of the “Israeli dogs are raping Palestinians” story and the “Graham Platner was an abusive partner” story.

On This Day — June 5, 1967

F**k Around: Arabs spent weeks boasting they would annihilate Israel. Egypt massed troops on the border, imposed a blockade, ordered UNEF out & promised destruction. Jordan & Syria joined. Radio Cairo called on Arabs everywhere to kill Jews.

Find Out: At 7:14 a.m., the entire Israeli Air Force (except 12 planes left for home defense) took off in Operation Focus. They caught the Egyptian pilots eating breakfast. By 11:05 a.m., 180 Egyptian planes were destroyed on the ground. Within hours, most of the Jordanian and half the Syrian air forces were also wiped out.

Then the real shock:

- Israel overran the entire Sinai Peninsula and reached the Suez Canal in four days.

- Despite no element of surprise, Israeli forces recaptured all of Judea and Samaria, including the Old City of Jerusalem.

- In brutal fighting, they seized the strategically vital Golan Heights, including Mount Hermon — “the eyes and ears of Israel.”

On June 7, Colonel Motta Gur’s paratroopers entered the Old City. For the first time in 2,000 years, Jewish soldiers stood at the Western Wall. The shofar was blown. Even hardened, secular soldiers broke down and wept with joy. The Jewish people were home again.

776 Israeli soldiers fell — heroes who turned near-certain destruction into one of the most legendary military victories in history.

The Arabs had spent 19 years vowing to erase the Jewish state.

They F****d Around.
They Found Out.

After two millennia of exile and 19 years of encirclement on borrowed time, the Jewish people reclaimed their ancient capital, reunited their ancestral homeland, and reminded the world in six miraculous days what a determined nation can achieve when its back is against the wall.

Am Yisrael Chai.
