The strongest argument for Zionism wasn’t October 7. It was the reaction to October 7.

[Alex Gandler @AlexGandler]

Watch how the cycle works:

1. An allegation is made.
2. Journalists report the allegation.
3. NGOs cite the reporting.
4. The UN cites the NGOs.
5. A strongly worded report is issued.
6. Everyone cites the UN report.

By the end, an unverified claim has been transformed into an accepted "fact" through repetition rather than evidence.

Here’s th problem with this sort of thing: British institutions cancel Jewish linked events because of the mere threat of disruption by cultural and social bullies and thugs. The effect is the cancellation of Jews and Jewish events in Britain, our home. That’s shameful. The bullies need to be faced down, not rewarded with our cancellation.

[Trisha Posner @trishaposner]

It took a non-Jewish host on CNBC this morning to say in 20 seconds what so many are afraid to: “Anti-Zionism gives the left an out to be antisemitic.”

@JoeSquawk nailed it, Anti-Zionism “gives them an excuse” — a shield for the Jew-hatred we’re watching explode across campuses, media, and culture.

The 2.1M impressions on my pinned “orgy of antisemitism” post — and the nonstop “it’s not antisemitism, it’s anti-Zionism” replies — prove him right.

Stop hiding behind the label. Stop pretending this is a distinction with a difference. It isn’t. Call it what it is: antisemitism.

Canada is facing a serious Jew-hate crisis.

In 2025, there were 6,800 documented antisemitic incidents, nearly 20 attacks on Jews every single day. Despite some of the strictest gun laws in the world, Jewish schools, synagogues, and businesses are repeatedly shot at while perpetrators face little to no consequences.

Israel raised Canada to Threat Level 2 for Jews, and stated that the Canadian government has failed to protect its Jewish community. When Jews are no longer safe in their home and communities, the entire country is at fault.

This is a national crisis that can no longer be ignored by Canadians.

@AnitaAnandMP When Canadians were murdered and kidnapped by Hamas, did Canada “summon” a single Palestinian Authority official? Or is outrage selective?

🇸🇩 The “State of Palestine” on X posted a brilliant video summarizing the Nakba.

It is very important we watch it and remember the Nakba for what it is:

[Elliot Steinmetz @elliotsteinmetz]

We live in a world where people would rather believe a dog can be trained to rape a human being (a scientific impossibility), than believe direct, eyewitness testimony and scientific evidence that Jewish women were raped on October 7th.

Explain that. I can’t.

[Maarten Boudry @mboudry]

A while ago, I watched the infamous 47-minute video documenting the atrocities of October 7th — the one not made publicly available, to protect the privacy of the victims.

The worst part of this video is not what it displays, but who is displaying it: the perpetrators themselves. Gleefully. Sadistically. Unabashedly. Most of the footage was filmed by Hamas terrorists on their GoPro bodycams, some also by ordinary Gazan civilians on their cellphones.

Even the Nazis tried to cover up their atrocities, but Hamas brags about theirs for the entire world to see. The killers are euphoric throughout the massacre, and their relentless, ecstatic cries of "Allahu Akbar" (punctuated by the occasional "Kill the Jew!") are simply nauseating.

Some images are seared into my memory forever. I will never forget the two boys in their underwear — one with his eye socket hanging out of his face — asking his brother whether he thinks they're going to die, while the Hamas monster who had just thrown a grenade in their saferoom helps himself to a drink from their fridge, taking a casual break from the slaughter.

Neither will I ever forget the terrorists playing football with a severed head. Or the Thai migrant worker whose head is viciously hacked off with a garden hoe — another "Zionist colonizer" getting what he deserved, right?https://t.co/JvfJEtk8LA
Or the throngs of Gazans crowding around pickup trucks loaded with the mutilated corpses of Jewish women, filming and spitting on the bodies. Or the woman in Kibbutz Mefalsim, crouching and begging in vain for mercy.

There is some evidence of sexual violence in the video — the charred corpse of a young woman with her legs splayed and her genitals exposed — but not much. Apparently even Hamas draws a line somewhere: they are not as proud of raping Jewish women as they are of murdering them. Or, more likely, they simply didn't want to embarrass the delicate sensibilities of their legions of useful idiots in the West.

But yes — there was rape. Not "rape" in scare quotes, as the apologists would have it, but sadistic, murderous sexual violence, documented in a new damning new report by The Civil Commission, an independent Israeli women's rights NGO. (video summary here: https://t.co/LTTjiO1s7E)

Across its 180 pages, the report describes "a recurring pattern of rape and gang rape; sexual torture; mutilation; targeted shooting to the face, head and genital area; forced nudity; binding and restraint; genital burning; objects inserted into intimate areas; post-mortem sexual humiliation; and execution during or after sexual assault."

And it was premeditated and organized. The terrorists crossing into Israel carried printed Arabic-to-Hebrew phrasebooks with handy expressions like "take off your pants," "lie down," "spread your legs," and "don't make trouble." I wonder why they expected to need those particular phrases?

I know one thing: no civilized country on earth would tolerate the existence of an organization like Hamas on its border after October 7th. Not one. This includes every self-righteous Westerner currently lecturing Israel from thousands of kilometres away, without an inch of skin in the game.

[Oren Barsky @orenbarsky]

Just one day after the New York Times proudly ran an antisemitic blood libel by a journalist with a highly questionable track record,

a civilian commission published a comprehensive report detailing the sexual violence committed by Hamas against October 7 victims and Israeli hostages held in Gaza.

The contrast could not be sharper.

While the NYT piece leaned on virtually no hard evidence beyond a few posts from online grifters of dubious credibility,

this report is based on a two-year independent investigation that reviewed more than:

- 10,000 photos and video clips,

- over 1,800 hours of visual material,

- and more than 430 testimonies from survivors, eyewitnesses, released hostages, and victims’ families.

Its conclusion is unequivocal: the sexual and gender-based violence carried out by Hamas on October 7 and throughout captivity was not random or isolated.

It was systematic, organized, and deliberate.

The commission also states that all findings were cross-checked against both open and confidential sources, alongside physical visits to the attack sites themselves for verification and documentation.

But you probably won’t hear much about this report.

Not in the NYT, and not in most major international outlets — because large parts of the global media have long since gone morally and professionally bankrupt.

So that’s where I come in.

I’m going to break down the report’s findings, compare them to the NYT piece,

and also try to explain why the NYT operates the way it does — and why serious journalism no longer seems to be its priority.

Link to the commission’s website and the full report at the end of the thread.

This is correct. The test is simple. Duriing the period between October 7 and the beginning of Israel's military campaign did we see sympathy that was subsequently lost by the ferocity of that campaign? We did not. what we saw - especially on campuses was the celebration or rationalisation of the mass murder, sexualised sadism and torture and hostage taking as legitimate resistance against colonial oppressors irrespective if they were children, Nova festival goers, elderly holocaust survivors, people who had spent lives working for peace. The slaughter excited a thirst for more not less Jew- killing and not the end of occupation but the end of Israel. Then came the world wide avalanche of Jew hatred and Hamas cosplaying by drum- beating white people guilty about their own colonial history and displacing it on to Jews that gets ever more toxically racist; a virulent hatred so intense it of course strenthens not weakens the case for Zionism,

[Simone Rodan-Benzaquen @srodan]

There is a claim that keeps circulating, presented as sophisticated analysis: antisemitic violence is caused by Israel’s actions. If Israel behaved differently, Jewish communities around the world would somehow be safer. This argument is not analysis. It is a moral inversion. And it collapses the moment you apply it consistently.
When China imprisons Uyghurs, does anyone warn Muslim communities in Paris to expect attacks? When Russia invaded Ukraine, did anyone tell Russian restaurants to brace for violence? No. Never. The causal chain between a government’s actions and violence against a diaspora is only ever constructed for Jews. Every other minority is extended the basic moral courtesy of being treated as individuals rather than proxies.
Now look at what the data actually shows. The SPCJ, which tracks antisemitic incidents in France in coordination with the Interior Ministry, has documented a consistent and damning pattern: it is antisemitic violence that inspires more antisemitic violence, not Israeli policy. After Mohamed Merah murdered Jewish children at point-blank range at the Ozar Hatorah school in Toulouse in 2012, antisemitic acts surged by 200%. There was no Gaza operation. No Israeli military action. The massacre of Jews in France produced more attacks on Jews in France.
The same logic held after the Hypercacher attack in January 2015: antisemitic acts increased by nearly 300%. Massacres of Jews do not shock antisemites into restraint. They embolden them. They signal impunity. They normalize hatred. And everyone in a position of responsibility knows it.
Which brings us to October 7. From the day of the Hamas attack, antisemitic acts in France increased by over 1,000%. A daily average of approximately 25 antisemitic acts was recorded in the 30 days that followed, reaching nearly 40 on some days. In the three months after the attack, the number of antisemitic acts equaled those recorded over the previous three years combined.
And here is another detail that makes the “Israel causes antisemitism” argument impossible to sustain: the spike began on October 7 itself, the very day of the attack. Israel had not yet responded. Not a single soldier had entered Gaza. Interior Minister Darmanin sent an urgent message to prefects that same day asking them to immediately reinforce protection of Jewish community sites. Synagogues. Schools. Community centers. By October 10, 10,000 police officers had been deployed to protect 500 Jewish sites across the country.
Before any Israeli response existed, the French government already knew that Jewish communities needed protecting. Not because of what Israel was about to do. Because of what had just been done to Jews.
Antisemitic violence has one cause. Antisemitism.

Today, a terrorist stabbed two Jewish men the moment they put on their Kippahs

That's not how you protect religious freedom @Keir_Starmer

Iran’s regime hangs democracy activists, burns protesters, shoots women for removing hijabs, and exports terror into Canadian communities.

Liberals looked at that regime and with its deafening silence at the UN said: same side.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Then they denied it.

[Maarten Boudry @mboudry]

I used to roll my eyes at the notion of "decolonising the curriculum"—just harmless virtue signalling, I thought. Then October 7th happened, and colleagues I respected were celebrating a jihadist massacre within hours. Progressive friends were pinning all the blame on Israel.
