#RectifySCOTUS Norms have been destroyed. You can’t reason with extremists. Fix democracy, protect our rights, and THEN work to build bridges. Do not build upon faulty foundation. @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris @SenateDems #BidenHarris2020Landslide

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

In 2016 they didn't even permit a hearing, let alone a vote.

They have surrendered all standing ever again to speak of such things as "norms."

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

To the foreign representatives in Tehran to mourn Iran’s deceased dictator, Ali Khamenei: Iran is not mourning him.

Iran is mourning more than 40,000 sons and daughters slaughtered on January 8 and 9 by Khamenei, Ghalibaf, and their machinery of repression.

The regime is spending vast amounts of the Iranian people's wealth to stage this propaganda spectacle, yet not a single democratic leader attended.

What you see today is not a nation in grief for its ruler. It is a nation filled with righteous anger, and that anger and heroic bravery will bring down what remains of this criminal regime.

Dear Arabs and Muslims,

I just back from Israel, and my life will never be the same.

I thought I was going to be met with pure racism, and then came to see that half of Israelis look just like me.

I thought I was going to be treated as a terrorist, but I was met with kindness and hospitality.

I thought I was going to experience apartheid, but I saw people from different backgrounds co-existing in peace together.

I thought I was going to see hatred against Muslims, but I met dozens of Muslims who love Israel and are proud of their country.

I thought I was going to meet angry Jews who hate all the goys and want to manipulate them, but I was met by a kind people who are struck by grief and terror.

Every street I visited in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv has a story of a terror attack. In every cafe I sat in, I was told ”A Jew was stabbed right here”, and ” A shooting happened on the other side of this street a few months ago.”

Throughout this trip, I have been ex-communicated by close-minded friends and family members. But you know what? It was worth it. Because I got to see Israel and experience the truth about the country that I was indoctrinated to hate for myself.

I wish that my friends and family members would also be able to visit Israel and see the beauty and hospitality of the country like I did. I was able to swiftly visit Israel because of my Swedish passport – I won’t deny my privileges.

But I also have the elusive privilege of humanizing both Israelis and Arabs. I had the greatest privilege of meeting, and seeing and talking to Israelis, whom I had learned to hate since I was a child.

I am so happy to have cleansed the hatred out of my soul. I wish that the Muslim and Arab communities could do the same.

Nothing good can ever come out of hatred, violence, and terrorism. And now, having been in Israel, I cannot stress enough how much it saddens me that my culture and my people have learned to hate this country and these people.

To all the Israelis who have opened their hearts and homes to me and showed me their beautiful country - thank you.

@Truthful_Cat So you’re defending terrorism by pretending that Fatah actually legitimately tried peaceful negotiations & accepted a 2-state solution?

[Talia Osteen @TaliOsteen]

@Truthful_Cat @HenMazzig Do you take issue with the list @HenMazzig provided or are you defending those acts?

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

1: Thread. The most incredible stories of heroic Israeli women during this war.

Rimon Kirsht, 36

Rimon was put in a fully pink pajamas by Hamas trying to make her look more ‘‘feminine,’ walked alongside her kidnappers, ignoring the hateful, barbaric chants, with courage I wish some of our world leaders had even a fraction of.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Yarden Roman-Gat, 35

Yarden delayed Hamas terrorists and sacrifice herself to be taken captive to buy time for her husband to save their little girl and escape.
Her love for her daughter is far stronger than the hate Hamas holds for all of us. This is a true Jewish hero.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Tali Hadad, 48

Tali Hadad, a mother of six who fearlessly followed her soldier son into battle when gunfire erupted on October 7th. When he was wounded, she swiftly transported him and a total of 13 others through dangerous streets to a medical station. She is a true hero and a beacon of courage.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Inbal Rabin-Liberman, 26

Inbal Rabin-Liberman, head of the Kibbutz Nir Am security squad and the sole female member, saved her kibbutz thanks to her quick thinking and impressive leadership skills.

When sirens blared on October 7th, Inbal's squad held off terrorists for three hours until the army arrived.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

The All Female Tank Battalion

Caracal Battalion's all-female tank crews eliminated over 50 all-men Hamas terrorists in a 17-hour battle and reclaimed the kibbutz on Oct. 7, halting further attacks and innocent bloodshed.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Hamas shot Gali’s dog and then her brother in front of her, then dragged her sobbing by the hair into an underground tunnel in Gaza. They kept her there for 2 months in horrific conditions.

Hamas raped Israeli girls, brutalized their bodies and slaughtered Israeli babies.

Then they gave the hostages a water bottle and forced them to smile and say goodbye, if they don’t want to die.

All along the Red Cross just standing there allowing this insanity and abuse to take place, such disregard to the hostage’s dignity and humanity.

Don’t share the video. Fck Hamas.

[Talia Osteen @TaliOsteen]

@HLazem @EinatWilf Thank God she & her children were spared, as opposed to those that Hamas & Islamic Jihad slaughtered, raped, burned to death, mutilated, and/or kidnapped. Her experience with “good” terrorists doesn’t negate the trauma or death that Hamas wrought both on Israelis & Gazans.

[Talia Osteen @TaliOsteen]

@alilakrakbi @AvivaKlompas Does he have suicide bombing vests too? A charter that calls for the genocide of Jews? Did he massacre over 1400 innocent civilians & kidnap hundreds? Is he funded by Iran? Did he exploit Israel’s concern for civilians? No? Then it’s not the same, but nice shilling for terrorism.

Many many years ago, I learnt Hebrew out of curiosity, and in a bid to penetrate into a world that I once thought was evil and conspiring against Arabs and Muslims. Once in, I was surprised how wrong I was, how wrong almost every Arab and Muslim around me was.
These days, I watch Hebrew networks (and Arabic ones). There is a lot of Israeli pain over those who were killed on 10/7, agony of those who survived, and anxiety over those who are held hostage by Hamas. A lot of tears, now mixing with tears over fallen soldiers fighting in Gaza.
The thing about all this Israeli pain is that it is almost exclusively in Hebrew. The world does not see Israelis hurt, does not hear them cry. The world sees Israel as fighter jets raining death to punish those who killed them from 15000 feet above ground. The world only sees and hears pain coming from Gaza, and the world always takes the side of the underdog, even when the underdog is guilty. One billion Muslims certainly have a much louder voice than 20 million Jews, and the world will always blame Israel, even when Palestinians started the carnage.
And that's exactly why Israelis are fighting the fight of their lives. They understand that the world is an unfair place, and that they cannot rely on non-existent international justice or biased global opinion.
I wish I had a magic wand to make fellow Arabs, and the rest of the world, see what I see. There will never be peace without justice, and using our numbers (Muslims) to impose our narrative is one way to try to beat Israel, but not the way to peace. My voice will dissent. I want peace, and peace is incumbent on winning the trust of those we want to live in peace with, not keeping on instigating the world against them.

@ronpaulblican @GadSaad Apparently you missed the Democrat’s highest office holder, President Biden’s speech very clearly & unequivocally naming Hamas a terrorist organization & vowing to aid in protecting our ally Israel from them. https://t.co/rxRmRKUpRE
