@TobiasSD @AudunBraten En av de viktigste tingene jeg lærte da jeg gikk på universitetet, er at ekspertise funker dårlig i den virkelige verden.

Alle VM- og EM-tippekonkurranser jeg deltok i ble vunnet av en eller annen jente som tippet etter sympati og utseende, mens jeg baserte meg på dyp analyse.

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.

This literally proves that Hezbollah is not nationalistic nor pushes for a sovereign Lebanon but has, from the beginning, been fully integrated into the Iranian external strategy to protect its interests.

Saying "the Lebanese collaborationist government" is wild when proving that Hezbollah is purely an Iranian tool.

[Lebanese Zionist @Lebanon_Israel1]

The Arabs did not understand what they were creating. When Jews were kicked out of Arab lands with little money, no protection, and no future, many believed they were permanently removing their Jewish populations. They told the Jews to “go back to Israel,” convinced that the new Jewish state would collapse under the attacks of the ummah and that the Jews would not survive or fight back.

But when that effort failed, and Israel survived instead of disappearing, the narrative was reversed. The same voices that supported the ethnic cleansing of the Jews and justified the expulsion of Jews from Arab countries began accusing Israel of what they tried to do, while simultaneously telling Jews whose families were expelled from Arab lands to “go back to Poland.”

This Gazan updates that because Iran attacked Israel last night, Israel closed the crossing with Gaza today for security reasons. He says the merchants in Gaza are happy. They have plenty of merchandise, he says, but they still hid part of it and put up the prices of the rest, citing the closure as an excuse. He says anyone who does this, Allah help him.

In the last few months, PIJ and Hamas have been releasing obituaries on commanders killed during the war. Interesting to look back how those deaths were covered.

Ex:

In June 2024, Reuters reported on an air strike killing Palestinian soccer player Ahmed Abu Al-Atta. Now PIJ confirms he was a deputy platoon commander in the rocket unit.

[Ottar Gadeholt @OGadeholt]

Dette. Hvert jævla ord av dette.

'Fredsbevegelsen' er en løgn.

'Krisediplomati' er et skalkeskjul.

'Regimet' er en morderisk gangsterbande.

Og den iranske befolkningen ofres på den selvtilfredse Vestens alter.

Det er til å spy av.

[Decado @ItsDecado]

Now that the bombs are falling again and this regime has intentionally restarted the war for the sake of Hezbollah, let the record be corrected permanently. Write it clearly in the pages of history so the comfortable spectators outside can never claim ignorance again.
Look at the mathematical proof of who this occupying cartel actually serves:
* They didn’t launch an attack on Israel to get revenge for their "supreme loser."
* They didn’t do it for the dead heads of the IRGC or Larijani.
* They didn't even do it for the blood of the children of Minab—a tragedy they vilely weaponized as a propaganda beast to crack down on us, using it to brand us as "traitors" just because we hate our oppressors and refuse to belong to them.
But the moment Lebanon and Hezbollah were at stake? The moment their regional proxy crown jewel was threatened?
They didn’t even blink. They instantly dragged ninety million hostages into the jaw of a devastating war without a single second of hesitation.
With that single act, their entire synthetic, state-sponsored "anti-war" agenda has been exposed as absolute, unadulterated nonsense. Where are all the useful idiots and comfortable anti-war activists now? Where is the outrage for a cartel using an entire nation's survival as a human shield to protect a foreign terror asset?
We have screamed this truth from the darkness for forty-seven years: this regime is nothing but a foreign occupying force. They are not "Iran." They are not a "Republic." Their identity is entirely hollow—a shallow, rotting shell constructed of absolute lies. They are an Islamist Shia death cult that has systematically drained our resources, starved our people, and weaponized our blood money to build military power and spread global devastation in our name.
Today, the illusion is completely shattered. You don't need deep political analysis to read the ledger anymore; anyone with two working brain cells can look at the chess board and see the unvarnished reality.
They are the knife at the throat of our homeland. Their allegiance has never been to the soil they occupy.

The mask is entirely gone & if you still see it, well then you should get your eyes checked.

Facts:

Yes, I know, facts have stopped mattering to way too many people, but still, facts are facts.

​Israel was attacked on March 2nd from Lebanon by Hezbollah.
​Israel, in response, acted against the terrorist organization.
​The US brokered a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon. Both governments agreed.
​Iran - yes, Iran - rejected the ceasefire agreement. What gave Iran the right to reject the agreement after the Lebanese government had already agreed to it?
​The result: Hezbollah attacks communities in northern Israel. Israel, in response, strikes a Hezbollah target in Beirut.
​Iran - yes, Iran again - launches ballistic missiles at Israel. Yes, launching ballistic missiles in response to Israel's action against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
​These are the facts, and that’s without even mentioning the Houthis in Yemen, who also attacked Israel on Iran's behalf tonight.

​These are the facts. Yes, I know there are already those who simply don't care about them. We do, it’s our lives that are being threatened.

Western media was outraged when the IDF took Beaufort Castle. Talk of war crimes and protected heritage status.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah had militarised the site and built a tunnel network below, under @UNIFIL_ noses.

Now, our media don’t care about Beaufort Castle anymore.

В аеропорту Єревана сьогодні була сила-силенна російських вірменів, яких Москва направила голосувати проти Пашиняна.

Але у Вірменії швидко зрозуміли, що робити з тими далекими співвітчизниками, які відчули раптове бажання голосувати на історичній батьківщині.

Таким гостям з росії почали видавати повістки до армії.

До речі, Нікол Пашинян, схоже виграв вибори.

З чим його й вітаємо.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Israel and Lebanon are at the table negotiating peace.

So the regime in Iran does what it always does. It cannot stand the idea of calm in this region, so tonight it starts bombarding Israel. No provocation. Just violence the moment peace comes within reach.

They tell us Hezbollah is Lebanon.
So why is Iran the one firing at Israel?

Now watch the international media find a way to blame Israel for it.
