If the first high profile interview you do as an incoming Prime Minister is with the guy who shared a post calling Zionists rats then you're sending a singularly sinister signal to the Jewish community.

According to a report by Israel’s Channel 12, newly revealed handwritten notes attributed to Yahya Sinwar show that, while planning the October 7 attack, he acknowledged Israel might respond with overwhelming force, writing that it could even use a nuclear bomb on Gaza. Despite that assessment, he concluded the operation should proceed, reflecting a willingness to accept even the most catastrophic consequences to achieve Hamas’s objectives.

If Free Palestine were to succeed and Israel were eliminated, it would be the worst thing that ever happened to the Palestinians.

First of all, let’s just be honest. Palestinians are not interested in democracy. They are Islamist extremists who openly executed and celebrated October 7. If they actually won, they would slaughter 7 millions Jews and 2 million Israeli Arabs and Palestinians they considered collaborators. That’s not remotely controversial if you’ve actually paid attention to what these groups say and do.

Then what? Gaza doesn’t have an economy. The West Bank is deeply dependent on Israel and international aid. They’ve spent generations fighting Israel instead of building the institutions of a functioning state. So after the evil Jews are finally gone, what exactly is the plan? What industry suddenly appears? What government? What economy?

The answer seems pretty obvious to me. Palestine would become an extremist Islamist state almost immediately. The violence wouldn’t stop. It would just find new targets.

Hezbollah would stop being an ally and start being a rival. Jordan would be next. Egypt would be next. Revolutionary movements don’t retire if they win, they look for another revolution.

People always ask why Egypt and Jordan don’t simply open their borders. They’ve already learned this lesson. Both have dealt with Palestinian militants destabilizing their own countries. They don’t want to do it again.

Then there’s the issue of how Palestinians don’t literally starve.

For decades Palestinians have survived on extraordinary levels of international aid. Does anyone seriously believe that continues after the destruction of Israel? I don’t. Western countries aren’t going to enthusiastically bankroll the state that just carried out one of the largest massacres in modern history. And Arab governments would have no political incentive to feed the people killing them (something Israel does.)

So what would the Palestinians be left with?

An impoverished Islamist state. Competing militias. Something much closer to Yemen than Singapore. Famine. Civil war. Religious extremism. The sane Palestinians trapped in the middle.

And for them, emigration would become impossible. Right now many countries accept Palestinian refugees because the story is they’re fleeing Israel. If Israel no longer exists because it was Holocausted, I have a hard time believing those same countries are going to welcome any refugees.

The uncomfortable truth is the current stalemate is almost certainly better for Palestinians than “victory.”

If you actually care about the future of the Palestinian people instead of chanting slogans, the only path that makes any sense is generations of deradicalization, building functioning institutions, developing a real economy, and eventually creating a state that defines itself by what it builds instead of what it wants to destroy.

Finally, after nearly three years, the UN admits what Israel was warning:

Hamas is hijacking aid.

[Noa Hoffman @hoffman_noa]

Would be interested to hear Andy Burnham spell out his position on the extremely serious Islamist threat to Jews and Christians in the UK. A domestic issue of the utmost importance to national security and safety of a minority.

Also yet to hear how he intends to tackle rising Islamic extremism (often aided and abetted by the far-left) which is causing many Jews here to consider moving to... Israel.

[Eylon Levy @EylonALevy]

Mehdi Hamas asked me on the debate stage why Israel killed the Al-Dos family in Gaza.

Islamic Jihad just took credit for Osama al-Dos as a missile unit commander.

The truth will triumph: Israel targeted terrorists embedded in civilian buildings.

BREAKING NEWS

[Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer]

Watch closely new video showing the U.N. reaction: as courageous former hostage Ilana Gritzewsky confronts October 7th denier Reem al-Salem—by recounting the horrific abuse she suffered from Hamas—the U.N. rapporteur on violence against women sits there stone-faced. No empathy.

Dear @SadiqKhan

You expressed anger property in Judea was being advertised to Jews - saying it should not be allowed.

Here are adverts on two @TfL buses.
1. Company that sells property in occupied Western Sahara.
2. Land exploitation of oppressed Baloch people.

Any comment?

[Nicole Lampert @nicolelampert]

Excellent from @LordIanAustin on yet ANOTHER debate on the evils of Israel:

As he says: ‘Over the last few years, Parliament has discussed Israel more than any other issue, not just any international issue, more than any domestic issue: more than the economy, unemployment, crime, the NHS.
‘The public out there look at Parliament and think this is utterly mad, utterly, utterly mad.’

Lord Ian blames Parliament for helping fuel antisemitism adding:

‘Does Parliament not understand that singling out the world's only Jewish state, holding its standards not applied to anywhere else, falsely accusing Israel of committing these terrible crimes? ‘This is bound to drive hostility towards people who are identified with Israel, which is the vast majority of the Jewish community, and I have to say this is why I believe Parliament is playing a large role in driving the explosion of anti-Semitism that we've seen on the streets of Britain.’

I hope this time, if the show ever comes back, the BBC have learned the most important lesson:

Don't make yourselves dependent on profit-driven american bloody companies who can easily fuck off and leave you hanging

[Heidi Bachram @HeidiBachram]

I just watched Hasan Piker interviewed on @LBC and you can see why he was banned from the UK. Here he claims that Hamas didn’t intend to murder Jews on October 7. He even excuses the massacre as merely making the “occupation as costly as possible”. Despicable man.

'You're putting words in my mouth!'

Sparks fly as @Jacob_Rees_Mogg accuses @TheYoungTurks of antisemitism by conflating the state of Israel and Jewish people.

[Kosher @koshercockney]

Wow @Jacob_Rees_Mogg just absolutely tore @cenkuygur apart using Cenk’s own words.

And of course Cenk realises this, panics and does what he always does by just blabbing as loudly as he can over the top of Rees Mogg.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

What he means is that he said “America deserved 9/11,” twice, that he loves Hezbollah’s flag, accused of dismissing the rapes of Oct 7, suspended from Twitch over violent rhetoric, and promoted conspiracy theories to his followers. And accused of abusing his dog on live stream.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

An American Jewish woman living in Barcelona reached out to me, saying that she and her wife were denied entry last night to a thermal bath, reportedly because they are Jewish.

She documented the exchange on video and filed a report with the Mossos d’Esquadra afterwards.

What's even more heartbreaking is how bystanders chose to stay silent during the exchange. Their lack of action only enabled what seemed to be a moment void of humanity.

Shame on all of them.

Fun fact: Israel had a woman serving in the role of prime minister before women in Switzerland had the right to vote.
