I'm half-Syrian, half-Lebanese, and here's why I can't stand people like Greta Thunberg. She quit school to chase climate activism while millions of children in my region quit school because their families can't afford it. She skips university "for Palestine" while our youth can't afford tuition, transport, or a functioning country to build a future in. She's never had a job; our people can't find one. She travels around the world (on a bicycle, of course) and sails to Gaza on a whim; our people can't get a visa to leave the misery they were born into. She has the luxury of adopting foreign causes; we don't have the luxury of just one problem. Millions of us live abroad because that's the only way to build a sustainable life. She acts like suffering belongs to Palestinians alone, while everyone in the Middle East lives in hell too, and it's not because of capitalism or climate change. It's because of a destructive ideology that uses the Palestinian cause as its tool. And like Khamenei, like Sinwar, like Arafat before her, she wears the keffiyeh — the uniform of that ideology, not a symbol of peace.

Then there's the shirt: "Yalla Intifada." The First Intifada (1987–1993) began as a mostly grassroots uprising — strikes, boycotts, stone-throwing — and still killed roughly 1,100 Palestinians and 160 Israelis. The Second Intifada (2000–2005) was a different animal entirely: a sustained campaign of suicide bombings that ripped through Israeli buses, cafés, and markets, deliberately targeting civilians. It left close to 3,000 Palestinians and 1,000 Israelis dead. "Intifada" doesn't mean "ceasefire." It doesn't mean "peace talks." It means uprising by force, and the second one was defined by terror attacks on ordinary people.

So while Greta claims to be protesting an alleged genocide, the slogan on her chest is a celebration of the exact kind of violence that killed thousands, most of them Palestinian. She isn't standing against death. She's wearing merchandise for it.

Palestinians are the only people in history who have strangled an 8-month-old baby to death simply because he was Jewish, yet are still seen in the world as the victims.

Has the world gone absolutely mad?

[Man Of Kent 🩵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🍒🏇⚽️🐓🦮 @ManOfKent15]

A Pakistani Home Secretary wants to pay Pakistanis in Britain to bring in more Pakistanis from Pakistan.

Have I got that correct?

[Isaac @isaacrrr7]

Todavía no logro comprender cómo 6.000 terroristas palestinos invadieron Israel y, con orgullo, retransmitieron en directo la masacre de familias judías el 7 de octubre, y aun así muchos en el mundo siguen creyendo que son las víctimas.

¿Acaso el mundo ha perdido la cabeza?

Just so everyone is aware…

A young girl in her teens told her story in Arbroath on Saturday

She took the microphone and told us about how she had been raped by a foreigner

She told us how her mental health has been destroyed because of the lack of support or action from the police and establishment

She will live with this for the rest of her life

She could be your sister or daughter…remember that when you let labels deter you from this battle

We do this for her and every other victim

[Taylor Day @TABYTCHI]

chanting “refugees are welcome here” six days after one tried beheading a man on the streets wouldn’t be possible without serious brainwashing

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

May I ask...is stabbing people racist ?

Or only talking about it...

[Ryan Matthew Neuhaus @RyanMNeuhaus]

I lived in Bolivia for two years. One of the cities I lived in was Cobija. One night, in Cobija, my friend and I were walking home when a Bolivian police officer got into an accident with a man that was on a motorcycle.

I ran over to try to help the man who was on the motorcycle, but I’ll never forget the officer yelling at the man about how the accident was his fault and then yelling at me for intervening.

In Bolivia, as in most third world countries, people don’t rush to help when this stuff happens. They become bystanders and observers, refusing to intervene or provide assistance. Some of the people around that night joined in on yelling at me as I called out for people to get an ambulance. One eventually made it because my friend had a phone and made the call, but it was too late.

That night, a stranger bled out and died in my arms—a foreigner—as his fellow countrymen yelled at him and watched him die.

People in the United States and across the West don’t understand the cultures and people that are being imported into our countries. The third world isn’t civilized, it’s not some wondrous place with people who have unlimited potential or hold similar worldviews to us. The third world is a dog-eat-dog world. People are literally scraping by and trying to survive. It wires people differently than the way we are wired.

As the West fails to deport the third world, it will become the third world. And mass deportations truly are the only peaceful answer if we want to stop the attempted beheadings, the rapes, the vandalism, the fraud, the homelessness, etc.

Some might find this sentiment cruel, but it’s not. What’s cruel is allowing the greatest civilization in the world, which your children and grandchildren should inherit, fall into an unrecognizable state of being.

🚨NEWS: It has sadly been confirmed that Stephen Ogilvie, the man viciously attacked in Belfast has lost his left eye entirely and is now blind in his right as well

He was already hard of hearing and learning diabled

Absolutely horrific

[🙏🌧🌍 @godblesstoto]

You cannot make this shit up.

[Simon Fox @SimonFoxWriter]

Apparently the term "Far Right" now means anyone who is angry about attempted beheadings on our streets.

[GorgieUnionist @GorgieU]

You called for cities to burnt to the ground after the George Floyd died. I'd sit these things out if was you.

[Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 @TRobinsonNewEra]

The beast trying to behead someone in Belfast last night was from Sudan, the same Islamic hellhole that Deng Majek came from before stabbing young mother Rhiannon Skye Whyte to death, she worked at the hotel housing invaders.

The government have ignored her mother ever since!

[Suffragent @Suffragent_]

Man who took the knee for a foreign criminal and called everyone far-right after Southport is now accusing people of "whipping up" division over Henry Nowak.

[Christian @InTheTrenchesUK]

Shabana Mahmood is angry.

Not at the killer. Not at the police who handcuffed the victim. Not at the system that let a British boy die while his murderer walked free.

She is angry at you. The British people. For daring to protest.

She shared the anger for George Floyd. She shared the platform for Black Lives Matter. She took the knee for a career criminal six thousand miles away. But when British citizens march for a murdered British boy, she threatens them with "the full force of the law."

She quotes the Nowak family to silence you. Uses their grief as a weapon against their own countrymen. Claims you are "hijacking" the tragedy while she hijacks their pain for political cover.

There is your two-tier system. Support for foreign causes. Contempt for British ones. Tears for criminals. Threats for patriots.

Shabana Mahmood does not speak for Britain. She speaks for the ideology that killed Henry Nowak and called it justice.

“To me, Henry wasn't a headline or a court case. He was my best friends funny, caring, cheeky son. Henry had a way of making people smile without even trying. He had so much life ahead of him, so many plans, and so much love to give. When Henry was just a baby, Lucy gave me the honour of being his godmother. Our kids, like us shared their childhood. Henry's loved ones were just normal people and we were enjoying watching our kids grow into adults, naively taking for granted that we would see all the wonderful things that life had to offer them.

On December 5th 2025, when the news broke, life as we knew it stopped.

My focus in what I want to say will always be Henry and Henry's family.

But, nothing I could ever say would come close to explaining the pain of losing Henry. But alongside the heartbreak of losing Henry has been the pain of watching one of the kindest families I have ever known have their entire world torn apart.

I was lucky enough to grow up with the family of my best friends Lucy (Henry's Mum) and Katie (Henry's aunty). The family make everyone feel welcome. Their home is filled with kindness, warmth and laughter. No matter what life throws at them they always find a way to bring light to those around them. They are generous with their time, compassionate in their hearts, and the sort of people who make others feel like family too, including me and then my children. Their laughter is infectious, their support unwavering, and their love for one another shines through in everything they do.

My heart is broken for them, a very large part of them died on the day that monster chose to rip Henry from their lives. Yet even through their darkest days they continued to be the wonderful people that they are. Their focus during these dark times was to shine a light on and raise money for the charity that has helped them.

Then, 6 months after Henry's death, the heart ache continued as they had to face the trial. Being subjected to sit in a room with the monster who brutally murdered their son and watch the lies spill so easily from his mouth. A man who has not once showed an an ounce of remorse for what he did. They endured a living nightmare.

Thinking that things could not possibly get worse, in the last few weeks they have learned that the very institution that is there to protect us not only ignored Henry's plea for help, but they sided with the monster who put him on the ground .

Henry's family learned that his last moments were not only spent so afraid of the monster who attacked him but he was then wronged and let down by the police officer who I have no doubt, Henry assumed was there to help him.

That police officer handcuffed Henry and read him his rights. The last thing my best friend's beautiful boy heard before we lost him forever.

This image, we will never ever be able to erase from our minds. Family, friends and now the world, will have seen that image and we all have to live with it forever.

Shame on the monster who took you, shame on the police officer who should have helped you and shame on the organisation that trained the police officer to side with an incorrect racist slur over a dying young man. Shame on you all!!

You treated a loving caring intelligent hardworking young man, with such disregard and disrespect. You treated Henry's family, such good people, with such dishonesty! The lies have been inforgivable !! HOW DARE YOU.

Henry deserved so much more from this life. Henry and his family have been let down so badly.

THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN TO ANYONE, ANYONE'S CHILD.

This has to stop now.

Henry we will fight until the end for you. The world will know your name. You changed our lives for the better for being a part of it, I believe you will now go on to change the lives of others by the legacy you will leave.

God bless you my darling 💙”

Remember the European Hospital in Khan Younis last May?

Israel struck a targeted site there, and the world lost its mind.

Palestinians denied any tunnel existed underneath. The UN and European governments rushed to condemn Israel for attacking a “hospital.” Outrage, headlines, accusations of war crimes… the usual script.

Then June came.

The IDF took international media into the very same location and showed them the tunnel… a full Hamas command center, right under the emergency room.

Weapons, rooms, infrastructure. And yes, that’s where they found and confirmed the body of Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas’s top military commander and brother of Yahya Sinwar.

The strike that killed one of the architects of October 7 was surgically precise, and entirely justified.

Under the Geneva Conventions of 1949, hospitals and other medical facilities lose their protected status when they are used for military purposes, such as command centers, weapon storage, or troop movements. By deliberately turning the European Hospital into a Hamas base, the terrorists themselves stripped it of any legal protection.

Not a single apology from the UN or the European governments that rushed to condemn Israel. Not one admission they were wrong. They simply moved on to the next round of accusations.

This is the pattern. Hamas hides its terror infrastructure under civilian sites, uses hospitals as shields, and the international community reliably attacks the defender for responding, only to be proven wrong again and again and again when the evidence emerges.

How many times does this have to happen before the world stops falling for it?

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

Dear world,

Iran was not a Muslim country; it was conquered by Islam.

This is how Iran looked before the Islamic Republic.

Make Iran Great Again 🇮🇷

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

BREAKING: Hezbollah just accidentally exposed themselves to international media.

They posted a video claiming the IDF struck a civilian home in Lebanon. But they accidentally filmed the rocket launcher in the background.

Suddenly, the media isn’t reporting the story.
