הגענו לשדה התעופה בטהרן, מוכנים לעלות על מטוס אל על האחרון שיצא מאירן לישראל, אמא שלי, אחי ואני, עם 2 מזוודות, כשב-1 מהן אבא שלי תפר תחתית כפולה והחביא כסף כדי שיהיה לנו משהו להתחיל איתו פה; תפסו אותנו בשדה (שכן שהלשין), פירקו לנו את כל המזוודה לחתיכות, החרימו לנו את הכסף, כל מה>

@RnaudBertrand first-class loser take.

@socoloffalex This could have been a business decision. Clearly there is more money to be made from israeli developers than the tiny collective of brainwashed and/or antisemite developer population

@Mr_Andrew_Fox Sorry in advance for peoples’ collective reading comprehension issues pushing them to 100% misjudge and mislabel you. X is not a pretty place. Keep up the good work!

BREAKING: Israel strikes Iran, starting World War 3 for the fourth time this year.

France has already surrendered.

[Noa Argamani @ArgamaniNoa]

It’s been a year since my rescue. Since I got my freedom back. A year has passed, but it feels like nothing has changed.

We’re still at war. We still have hostages clinging on to their lives, each day, each minute, a living hell. Hostages who are starving, held in unbearable conditions, without even water.

Our soldiers still risk their lives every single day. Families still lie awake at night, anxious, afraid.

So little has changed, and yet: I have changed.

For the first time, I saw the true soul of Israel. While recovering in the hospital, I witnessed the pure joy that of strangers at our rescue. Joy that existed even as an entire family’s world collapsed with the heartbreaking loss of their beloved hero Arnon Zmora, may his memory be a blessing.

I lost my mother: the person closest to me in the world. And I saw how the entire country mourned with me. I saw the strength, the unity, the compassion of the Israeli people.

I learned I have to be strong. Not only for myself, but for others. For those who lost someone dear. For the families of the hostages. For the hostages themselves.

I chose to fight, but on my terms. I listened to my inner voice. I chose my intentions with care. I found myself in places I never dreamed I’d be, met people I never imagined I’d meet. And I had the profound privilege of witnessing many hostages return home into the arms of the people who love them.

I broke down. I rose again. Dozens of times.

And still, it hasn’t ended.

Avinatan is still in Hamas captivity.

The days we’ve been apart now outnumber the days we had together.

I miss him more with every passing day. I worry. But I have to be strong, for both of us. I hold onto hope, every single day, that this nightmare will end, and we’ll finally get to live the life we’ve dreamed of.

When this nightmare ends, and the 55 hostages at last come home. Bring them home, now.

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

INCREDIBLE: For the second day in a row, massive anti-Hamas protests continue in Khan Yunis, Gaza.

Preparations are underway in Gaza for what is expected to be the largest anti-Hamas protest across the entire Strip.

DOWN WITH HAMAS!

[stefoMAK @MakStefo]

@SaitoOfficial Can’t wait for this. Good job!

[neil chernoff @midlifeguy548]

Let me see if I have this right. A foreign student shows up to class wearing a KKK hood and robes. In fact he brings along another 50 friends dressed the same way. They start screaming "globalize the lynchings"

Are you good with that?

Why would I be good with masked people showing up wearing keffiyeh and screaming "globalize the intifada?"

[Amjad Taha أمجد طه @amjadt25]

Before posting this video, I waited 14 hours for BBC and Al Jazeera to air it. They refused. Why? Because it shows Gazans furious at Hamas terrorists using their hospitals as shields, chanting loud and clear: “Hamas are terrorists.” Yes, that supports Trump’s plan to crush the Muslim Brotherhood forces in Gaza. And to the clueless protesters in New York and London.. do you still think you understand the Middle East? Think again. Israel and the Arab people now stand side by side against the rapists, the radicals, and the lies.

[David Collier @mishtal]

Dear @bbcnews. No I am not finished. We have yet another problem with your Hamas propaganda documentary.

You know the young chef and her elder sister Nourhan - who appear as one of the subjects in your piece?

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

Listen up. I am Jordanian, and I tell you that the two-state solution is dead, stone cold. And I’ll tell you why.

Back in 1994, when Yitzhak Rabin was ready to hand the Palestinians a state on a silver platter, who was the loudest voice against it? Benjamin Netanyahu. And what did the world call him? A radical, an enemy of peace, a warmonger. Even inside Israel, many thought he was being extreme. But was he?

Bibi’s argument was simple: You don’t hand a state to people who openly declare that your country has no right to exist and that their ultimate goal is to wipe you off the map. That’s not a “peace process”, that’s national suicide.

He understood the security risks. A Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) would leave Israel a mere 9 miles wide at its narrowest point. That’s nothing. That’s an easy invasion route. That’s a security nightmare. It would take minutes to cut Israel in half and massacre its people.

But did Israel listen? Of course not. In 2000, Ehud Barak came back and sweetened the deal. He offered Arafat a state again. Thank God Arafat said no. And why did he say no? Because he never wanted a state, he wanted Israel gone.

Fast forward to 2005. Ariel Sharon tried another approach. He said, “Fine, let’s give them a test run.” So he pulled every single Jew out of Gaza, 70,000 settlers, forcibly removed. He even went so far as to dig up Jewish graves to ensure Gaza was 100% Judenrein. No excuses left. The Palestinians had a chance to prove they could run a state.

So what did they do? Did they build hospitals, schools, and infrastructure? Did they work on nation-building? Did they take this golden opportunity and create a thriving mini-state to prove to the world that they were ready for independence?

Nope. Instead, they turned Gaza into a terrorist launchpad. Since 2005, Gaza has been a rocket factory, a jihadist training camp, and a tunnel network straight out of a horror movie. Billions in aid poured in, and instead of building a future, Hamas built weapons to destroy Israel.

So let’s go back to the original question: Who was right, the dreamers who kept offering the Palestinians a state or Bibi Netanyahu, who warned them this would be a disaster?

The answer is clear. Bibi was right. The Palestinians never cared about statehood. They only cared about destroying the Jewish state.

And this is the part most people don’t want to say out loud: This conflict was never about “occupation.” That was always a lie. The West Bank and Gaza are just convenient excuses. The real issue is Islamic jihad.

Bibi understands this better than anyone. The people Israel has been negotiating with for decades don’t want borders. They want annihilation. It’s not about compromise. It’s about erasing Israel from the map.

So, no, the two-state solution isn’t “dying.” It’s already dead. And it’s been dead since the first time Israel tried to make peace with people who don’t believe in peace.

@DaveShapi @charles_r_sears This is what I most urgently want to see out of cursor, the ability to designate a supervisor role above the normal agent, that more aggressively holds lower level agents accountable to the dev rules as they work! We are not far off.

Extend that thought to every functional LM

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

Imagine you’re a right wing populist and were always insecure that the vast majority of smart people don’t agree with you.

Then the greatest entrepreneur of our time enters the political arena. He’s smarter than any liberal who looks down on you, and you finally have hope. The libs were just midwits! The real smart people know the score!

He helps defeat the left in 2024. You have found a new hero and all is right in the world.

Then suddenly, over Christmas, he starts denigrating you over your deepest beliefs in the same terms as the leftists you thought he was fighting. Except he’s much more explicit than they ever were. His successful friends think similarly.

It suddenly starts to dawn on you that smart people are naturally opposed to what you believe in. No matter what disagreements they might have with one another, or what fields they’re in or what professional incentives they face, they all agree that anti-foreigner politics is wrong and morally revolting.

How do you recover from this? There are two paths. Acknowledge you are wrong and support an open immigration policy. Realize that your opposition to high skilled immigration in particular is a result of some deep misunderstanding of how the world works or an unmet psychological need.

Or you can double down on “populism”, use the same vapid talking points of “nation not an economy” that are too stupid for one to even know where to begin in rebutting them, and decide the only way you’ll ever get what you want is going to war with everyone in society with half a brain. Intelligence itself is the problem, your feelings are the only things that count.

I get the appeal of racism. I’ve been known to indulge in it from time to time. But once you’re keeping scientists and engineers out of your country, you’ve gone down the wrong path. Take this opportunity to reflect.

[stefoMAK @MakStefo]

@VWLegal Why don’t you compare this Israeli aggression buffer zone to a he harmless minuscule Turkish buffer zone on the other side? The one that’s 40x the size. Or is it just a Jewish problem?

[Eugene Kontorovich @EVKontorovich]

With Israel taking control of the buffer zone with Syria, you are going to hear a lot of hot takes about Syria's territorial integrity. Keep in mind, a NATO member has for years maintained a 8835 sq. km buffer zone, with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, in three different sections of N. Syria for years, without international condemnation. On the Golan, we are talking around 230 sq. km, unpopulated.
