WTF is this account

[Torah Jews @TorahJews]

This comment is not only false, but reveals just how rotten the apple called Zionism truly is.

Negating the Mesorah as though it were some pesky fly, while making profoundly heretical statements and still claiming to be “proud Jews,” just proves what we’ve been saying about Zionism all along.

For thousands of years, Jews knew exactly what it meant to be Jewish. Zionism is the movement that sought to redefine our faith into a modern nationalist identity.

That’s the real modern invention. Or distortion.

[Khaled Hassan @Khaledhzakariah]

I was never a practising, observant Muslim.

Yet, even I wanted Islam to take over Europe and the West until I was a teenager.

We are taught that Islam's greatest achievements are conquest and colonialism.

We are taught that the greatest thing we could ever do is enable the invasion and conquest of non-Muslim countries.

This is a fact that only a former Muslim would tell you.

Sorry to break it to you, Israel’s actually not the bad guy.

I’ll die on that hill.

@CoreyWriting I couldn't be less surprised at this being a story. Great take @CoreyWriting

BREAKING: Masked Islamists in Montreal paraded a Jew being hanged through the streets.

Get every single one of these terrorists out of the West.

Enough of this.

Here is what a ‘ceasefire’ with Lebanon looks like: earlier today, an explosive drone targeted an Israeli home.

[Karl Musk @mrkarlmusk]

Not long ago, I wrote about one of the great narrative advantages antizionists have secured for themselves: they position Zionism as the disruptive event, the thing that enters history and must justify itself to the world.

Once that move is accepted, everything else becomes easier. Arab and Palestinian politics can slip out the back door. Jewish self-determination is dislodged from the ordinary language of nations, peoples, borders, refugees, war, defeat, compromise, and statecraft. It is marked instead as an alien politics, a permanent intrusion, a problem whose existence must be explained before anything else can even be discussed.

To see how extreme this is, imagine the same narrative machinery being used against Palestinians.

Imagine a world in which Palestinian celebrities, writers, professors, business owners, and artists were routinely targeted across countries. The crudest people would call them “baby killers.” The more respectable class would ask whether Palestinians had finally produced a realistic solution to the conflict their nationalism helped create.

People assumed to be Arab would be stopped in public and asked whether they supported a State of Palestine that depends on violence, ethnic exclusion, and the permanent denial of Jewish self-determination. In the entertainment industry, actors and musicians would be pressured to denounce Palestine before being allowed to keep their reputations. Lists would circulate of pro-Palestine donors, professionals, students, and public figures.

People with barely a passing interest in the conflict would somehow know the names of the most brutal or embarrassing figures associated with Palestinian history, and only those figures. They would know the massacres, the rejectionism, the authoritarian leaders, the corruption, the ideological maximalists, the factions that murdered civilians, the schools and media systems that glorified “martyrs,” the diplomats who rejected partition, the movements that turned refugeehood into a permanent political weapon.

And then, after years of this, when most ordinary people had grown exhausted by it, the people still doing it would insist that they were merely asking questions. They would call it critique. They would call it anti-nationalism. They would call it concern for human rights. They would deny that any of this had anything to do with Arabs or Palestinians as people, even while Arabs and Palestinians bore the social consequences of the obsession.

Meanwhile, political candidates across the democratic world would begin making “criticism of Palestine” and “criticism of Palestinian ideology” central to their campaigns. Campus movements would demand that universities cut ties with Palestinian institutions. Public figures would be asked, again and again, whether they condemn Palestinian self-determination. The entire subject would be organized around the presumption that Palestine is the thing that must answer for itself.

This hypothetical is almost impossible to imagine because it is so distant from political reality. Sometimes Zionist propaganda can come close in quality, but microscopic in quantity. That is the achievement of antizionist narrative politics. It constructs Jewish national self-determination as the exceptional case, the suspect case, the one nationalism that must stand before the world and prove that it has a right to exist at all. And once that burden is assigned, everything else follows.

To note here at the end, the response to this shouldn’t be imitation. It should be exposure. This kind of politics is disguising and should be rooted out of society. Today it is used against Zionists and Jews generally, but it didn’t begin there and it won’t stop there. It will need to be stopped by people who can see it for what it is and make what it is clear to those who still can’t see it well.

[Ahmed Al-Khalidi @khalidi79397]

A genocide is happening in Gaza, they tell us. Then scroll your feed:

Comma Cafee, just opened in Gaza City. Espresso machines, plated desserts, dim lighting.

Vanilla Café. Upscale, glass facade.

Nova Restaurant in Khan Younis: sleek wood interior, beachfront seating. Named, apparently without irony, after the music festival where 364 Israelis were slaughtered on October 7.

O2 Restaurant. pizza, ice cream, milkshakes, TikTok food porn.

Open-air markets in Gaza City with apples, avocados, oranges, bananas.

Supermarkets stocked for Ramadan with imported goods.

A "Gaza Coffee" brand selling 100% Arabica premium beans, taking online orders, with five-star reviews dated this year.

Even Al Jazeera's writer concedes the cafes "were built with expensive materials, carefully painted, furnished with tables, sofas, and elegant chairs, with glass facades and shining lights."

Now hold that next to actual genocide.

Rwanda, 1994. 800,000 Tutsi murdered in 100 days. ~8,000 per day. Hutu radio read names of neighbors to be hacked apart by morning. No one opened a café.

Cambodia, 1975–79. Khmer Rouge emptied Phnom Penh at gunpoint in 72 hours. Currency abolished. Markets abolished. Eyeglasses got you killed. Two million dead.

The Holocaust. Warsaw Ghetto: 92,000 dead of starvation and disease before the deportations even began. Auschwitz processed 6,000 people a day into smoke. There were no glass-facade espresso bars in Łódź in 1943.

Srebrenica, July 1995. 8,372 men and boys executed in days. No restaurants reopened. They were in mass graves.

Armenia, 1915. Death marches into the Syrian desert. No imported avocados.

The common thread of genocide is that the targeted population is not allowed to exist. Not in cafes, not in markets, not in their homes, not anywhere. The perpetrator's entire project is their absence.

Gaza in 2026, by every honest description, is something else: a brutal war zone, partially destroyed, with a population suffering real hardship and simultaneously a place where new businesses open, beachfront restaurants serve customers, and a post war economy is being written about in business pages. Both things are true.

That is what war looks like. Lebanon 2006. Mosul 2017. Mariupol 2022. Aleppo 2016. Civilians die and life adapts around the destruction.

It is not what genocide looks like.

So why the word?

Because "genocide" is the most powerful word in the post-WWII moral vocabulary. It triggers automatic legal obligations, suspends normal debate, and short-circuits proportionality analysis. Apply it successfully and your adversary loses the right to defend itself before the argument even begins. That is exactly why it is being deployed by a side that started a war on October 7, took hostages, embedded itself in hospitals and schools, and now needs the West to force a ceasefire it could not win on the battlefield.

It is asymmetric warfare with a thesaurus. The rockets failed. The tunnels failed. The word might not.

Coffee in Gaza doesn't prove there is no suffering. It proves there is no genocide. Those are not the same claim and the people conflating them are counting on you not to notice.

[Nikki Haley @NikkiHaley]

Claiming Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinians is modern day blood libel — propaganda pushed as more horrific details emerge about Hamas’ systematic torture on Oct. 7.

For being Jewish — Hamas raped a woman and burnt half of her face off in front of her husband; shoved nails, metal, and sharp objects into Israeli women; forced family members to sexually assault each other so that if they survived they would be traumatized by the sight of each other; raped corpses; the list goes on.

Distracting from these atrocities and smearing Israel while victims still fight for acknowledgment is sickening.

[Buck Sexton @BuckSexton]

Israel doesn't train dogs to rape Palestinian inmates. That's a vicious, stupid lie pushed by a slimy little propagandist. But this newest blood libel is meant to distract you from the latest released evidence- including video recordings that *no credible person says are fake* of Palestinians doing the most sadistic, grotesque things imaginable on Oct 7- raping corpses while they are mutilating and murdering them, lighting genitals on fire, shooting out the eyes and genitals of helpless victims, forcing husbands to watch as their wives and children are raped and murdered-

And Palestinians did this on the *orders of their elected government* with months of planning to do exactly what they did. It wasn't spontaneous. The monstrous cruelty, the sexual degradation was the point. They knew Oct 7 wasn't going to win a war, or gain any territory. It was just an orgy of Jew hate and violence. The Palestinians were mass murdering, child rapist terrorists who did all this and were gleeful about it. They made phone calls boasting to their family members.

Did anyone in the Hamas government express remorse or regret about any of this? Or anywhere in Gaza? Of course not. They ordered it. They delighted in the extreme pain and cruelty of the Oct 7 operation against Jews.

So now some Americans, including ones who claim to be conservative, are taking the side of Hamas and claiming this was a genocide?

What do these people really think Israel was supposed to do in response to Oct 7?
Fight an imaginary "gentle" war?
No response at all?
Give up?

Childish thinking. Absurd moral preening. War is hell, but Hamas brought that hell upon Gaza.

[𝔼𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕠𝕥 𝕄𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕟 @ElliotMalin]

Alright, but it *isn't* genocide because the elements of the crime are clearly missing.

This is a blood libel that has caused Jews to be murdered. It must stop.

Not a single accusation has been able to establish that intent is present to the standard required. Not a single one has used the appropriate legal analysis to make the legal conclusion that they do.

Each accusation has systematically ignored the conduct of Hamas in relation to informing us about Israeli conduct and what is permissible. This violates the key provisions of the jurisprudence because it ignores the test that must be taken, known as the only reasonable inference test.

Here, from Bosnia v. Serbia (2007), para. 373: “The dolus specialis, the specific intent to destroy the group in whole or in part, has to be convincingly shown by reference to particular circumstances, unless a general plan to that end can be convincingly demonstrated to exist; and for a pattern of conduct to be accepted as evidence of its existence, it would have to be that it could only point to the existence of such intent.”

When each accusation ignores the conduct of Hamas, it fails to assess the reasonable alternative explanations. If there exists reasonable alternative explanations, such as human shielding (see: GCIV 28 & API 51(7)), weaponization of healthcare infrastructure (see: GCIV 19), diversion of aid (see: GCIV 23), it cannot possibly be genocide. We do know, with plenty of evidence, that each of these is relevant to the analysis because we know that Hamas has utilized human shielding (they admit to it and have done this for decades), have weaponized hospitals (Mohammad Sinwar was killed under the European hospital and we hear from Gazans about the presence of armed militants), and have diverted aid (Al Jazeera confirmed this just yesterday), then it cannot possibly be found that dolus specialis is present.

If dolus specialis is not present, it cannot be genocide.

Moreover, substantiality is very clearly missing.

From, Krstić: "It is well established that where a conviction for genocide relies on the intent to destroy a protected group “in part,” the part must be a substantial part of that group. The aim of the Genocide Convention is to prevent the intentional destruction of entire human groups, and the part targeted must be significant enough to have an impact on the group as a whole. Although the Appeals Chamber has not yet addressed this issue, two Trial Chambers of this Tribunal have examined it. In Jelisić, the first case to confront the question, the Trial Chamber noted that, “[g]iven the goal of the [Genocide] Convention to deal with mass crimes, it is widely acknowledged that the intention to destroy must target at least a substantial part of the group.” The same conclusion was reached by the Sikirica Trial Chamber: “This part of the definition calls for evidence of an intention to destroy a substantial number relative to the total population of the group.” As these Trial Chambers explained, the substantiality requirement both captures genocide’s defining character as a crime of massive proportions and reflects the Convention’s concern with the impact the destruction of the targeted part will have on the overall survival of the group."

In Sikirica the chamber stipulated that about 3% is not substantial enough to constitute genocide. In Gaza the death toll, including combatants and not accounting for live births (which outnumber measured death) is about 3.25%.

If we want to discuss live births, we would see population increase over the course of the war. Per Save the Children, the UN, and Palestinian Ministry of Health officials the births throughout the war ranged from about 4,000 - 5,500 per month.

4,000(30)=120,000
5,500(30)=165,000

120,000-72,500=+47,500
165,000-72,500=+92,500

So, we can demonstrate that the population has not decreased as measured in death vs. birth, but the opposite.

It is very clearly not genocide if you actually understand what genocide is and how it works. This is very clearly a blood libel that has caused the very harm you are saying you are speaking against, @shannonrwatts.

I think your heart is in the right place, Shannon. But I also think that you are helping cause the very problem you are speaking against here by helping perpetuate the blood libel that is very clearly erroneous and has caused real and demonstrable harm against Jews.

You cannot be an ally and spread the blood libel. And you must stop pushing it.

It’s amazing how quickly these accounts who try to start with logical arguments end up showing their true colors and beliefs.

“Wish Iran had nukes” is a great way to get your point across about how civil and ethical Iran and their terrorist counterparts are…

@AudreySuffolk What an insane way to report on this. This law is for terrorists caught attempting to murder numerous Israelis. The same terrorists who keep getting released from prison when Israeli hostages are taken and negotiated for release. After they’re free, they terrorize again.

[The Drunk Republican @DrunkRepub]

What if, and hear me out, Israel isn’t controlling America but rather America’s enemies are using influencers and centuries-old tropes to divide the right in hopes of getting the left, with whom they share goals, back into power?

I’m just asking questions.

🚨 CONFIRMED: The man who attacked a synagogue in Michigan, Ayman Muhammad Ghazali, is the brother of Ibrahim Muhammad Ghazali, a commander in the weapons operations division of Hezbollah, which has launched hundreds of rockets at Israeli civilians during the war.

Question: how did someone with close ties to a designated terrorist organization obtain U.S. citizenship?
