Hey @grok, is it true that more Palestinian women in the West Bank have been killed by other Palestinians in "honor killings" than by Israeli security forces?
Start with yes or no.
Truly Incredible...
Retired Navy pilot Matthew 'Whiz' Buckley revealed today that the hijacked flydubai flight exceeded its maximum operating speed by a staggering 100 knots while plunging 20,000 feet in just 30 seconds.
But just how extreme is that?
What is 100 knots? It’s exactly 185 km/h (115 mph). This means the Boeing 737 MAX 8 was flying 115 mph OVER its absolute structural red-line limit!
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫: Commercial jets are built tough, but they aren't fighter jets. Exceeding max speed by this much causes "flutter"—violent aerodynamic vibrations that can literally rip the wings or tail right off the fuselage mid-air.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞: Surviving a dive this steep and fast without the airframe snapping apart under the extreme G-forces is virtually unheard of.
The fact that the passengers and crew managed to subdue the attacker and pull the plane out of this violent dive before it disintegrated in the sky is an absolute miracle.

Thank God for His protection today! 🙏💙
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said: “I have never seen killing and destruction like Gaza in all my years as Secretary-General.”
According to even the most critical reports, Guterres, 70,000 people were killed in the war in Gaza, a large proportion of them Hamas terrorists.
During your years as Secretary-General: more than 600,000 people were massacred or starved to death in Ethiopia.
377,000 died in Yemen — that figure appears in reports issued by your own organization.
150,000 were killed in Sudan and 12 million were displaced.
Hundreds of thousands have been buried in Ukraine.
You didn’t see it? They died before your eyes. You simply looked the other way, because the Jews couldn’t be blamed.
Every time someone says "1948," we only get half the story. So here's the whole thing.
In November 1947, the UN voted to divide the land into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. The UN didn't give the Jews a country. It recognized a people with 3,000 years of roots in the land, who had been promised a home since 1917.
The Jews got a small, fragmented territory, and Jerusalem wasn't even part of it. They said yes anyway. The Arab leaders said no. The day after the vote, Jewish buses were attacked, and the country slid into war.
And to those who say Israel stole a country.
There was no Palestinian state to steal from. The land had been ruled by the Ottomans for 400 years and then by the British. Israel got its share through the UN. The rest came from a war the other side started.
On May 14, 1948, Israel declared independence. The next day, five Arab armies invaded from Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq. The goal wasn't a Palestinian state. The goal was that there would be no Jewish state.
Israel had no real army and barely any weapons, and many of its soldiers were Holocaust survivors who had come ashore only months earlier. They won because the alternative was to die.
Yes, around 700,000 Palestinians lost their homes in that war. Some were expelled by Israeli forces. That's documented, and it shouldn't be denied. Others fled the fighting, and some were told by their own leaders to leave their villages until the Arab armies had won. They didn't.
But there was another expulsion nobody talks about.
Around 850,000 Jews were driven out or pushed out of Arab countries like Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, and Morocco. Families who had lived there for centuries lost everything. The Jews of Jerusalem's Old City were expelled by Jordan.
Israel took them in and gave them new lives.
The Arab countries did the opposite with the Palestinians.
They kept them in camps and in refugee status that is now passed down to the fourth generation, so today there are nearly six million registered refugees.
In Lebanon, they're still barred from a long list of professions. And from 1948 to 1967, Jordan held the West Bank and Egypt held Gaza. Neither of them created a Palestinian state. They could have done it at any time.
Israel took in refugees, drained swamps, and built a beautiful country with no oil and enemies on every border.
The Palestinian leaders were offered the same chance, and they chose war instead. Imagine what could have been built if they had said yes.
The roughly 160,000 Arabs who stayed in Israel became Israeli citizens. Today they number around two million, with the right to vote, their own parties, and seats in parliament.
So when someone says Israel was built on expulsion, remember the whole picture. The Palestinians were offered a state before Israel even existed. The Arab side chose war. Israel defended itself.
Israel didn't start that war. It just refused to lose it.
Am Israel Chai.❤️��
Victor Davis Hanson is not Jewish. He is a renowned American classicist, military historian, author, and senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution - making his fact-based defense of Israel all the more significant.
In one of his recent interviews, Hanson gave a fascinating analysis of four accusations repeatedly made against Israel - apartheid, settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.
His conclusion was clear: These slogans collapse when confronted with historical facts.
Apartheid?
Approximately two million Arab citizens live in Israel with the right to vote, serve in parliament, study at universities, practice their religion, and participate throughout Israeli society.
Meanwhile, many of the countries accusing Israel of apartheid officially privilege Islam and severely restrict religious conversion, minority communities, and basic freedoms.
Settler colonialism?
The Jewish connection to the land of Israel is supported by nearly 4,000 years of historical, archaeological, linguistic, and biblical evidence.
The Jewish people did not arrive in their ancestral homeland as foreign colonizers. They returned to the land from which foreign empires had repeatedly expelled them.
Meanwhile, Arab armies conquered enormous portions of the Middle East and North Africa. The Ottoman conquest transformed Hagia Sophia - once the greatest church in Christendom - into a mosque. Yet those historical conquests are rarely described as settler colonialism.
Ethnic cleansing?
Where were the demonstrations when Turkey expelled Greeks from northern Cyprus and moved Turkish settlers into the occupied territory?
Where was the outrage when Azerbaijan drove more than 100,000 Armenians from their ancestral homes in Nagorno-Karabakh?
Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Zohran Mamdani were remarkably quiet.
Genocide?
When Israel was established, approximately 170,000 Arabs remained within the country. Today, around two million Arab citizens live in Israel, and the Arab share of its population has increased rather than disappeared.
Genocidal regimes do not cause the population they supposedly seek to eliminate to grow dramatically in both number and proportion.
As Hanson explained, many of those accusing Israel are projecting the sins of their own nations, movements, and histories onto one tiny, democratic Jewish state.
Why is Israel judged by a standard applied to no other nation?
The answer is becoming painfully clear - because Israel is predominantly Jewish.
Accusations may travel quickly, but historical facts still matter.
The Copts don’t have their own country.
The Assyrians don’t have their own country.
The Yazidis don’t have their own country.
The Druze don’t have their own country.
The Maronites don’t have their own country.
These are all ancient peoples with centuries of documented history, all of whom have faced extreme persecution and genocide by Muslims. And yet not a single leftist activist supports the idea that they should have their own homelands.
But somehow “Palestinians”, who are just Arabs with no distinct culture or identity, are supposed to get their own state, even though there are already dozens of Arab and Muslim countries they can call home.
Can anyone explain why?!
Stunning visual by @MummyisT shows rockets, missiles, & drone attacks by Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis & Iran (the mothership) since Oct 2023. I've been here a lot of that time-felt 1st hand the rain of destruction & dodged plenty of "incoming."
96% of Jews in Poland were murdered by the Nazis. That is genocide.
3% of Gaza’s population, mostly male combatants, died in the war they started. That is not genocide.
Deutschland schaut nach rechts. Es darf auf dem linken Auge nicht blind sein.
Die Gefahr von Rechtsextremismus ist offensichtlich. Sie wird diskutiert, benannt und verurteilt. Linksextremer Antisemitismus verdient genau dieselbe Klarheit.
Wenn die Linksjugend an Schüler Sticker mit Kalaschnikow und palästinensischer Flagge verteilt, ist das kein „Aktivismus“, den man relativieren darf.
Eine Brandmauer gegen Antisemitismus darf keine politische Richtung kennen. Jüdisches Leben und das Existenzrecht Israels sind rote Linien – ob von Rechtsextremen, Linksextremen oder Islamisten angegriffen.
Keine blinden Flecken. Keine Ausreden. Keine doppelten Standards.
Fantastisk efterforskning 👇👇
Shifa-hospitalet i Gaza var helt central for angrebet 7. oktober – og både læger, journalister, osv MÅ have vidst det.
Se videoerne. Aldrig vist før og meget gåsehudsfremkaldende. Dette er arbejde, medierne har forsømt at lave – del endelig!
There are MILLIONS on the streets in Spain right now demanding Pedro Sánchez resign over the invasion of Ceuta.
You won't see this in the legacy media.

Meine Nachbarin ist 81. Sie wollte Strom, Wasser und Internet anmelden. Sie hat es nicht geschafft.
Der Stromanbieter: nur noch online, mit E-Mail-Adresse. Hat sie nicht.
Der Wasserversorger: ein QR-Code auf dem Brief. Sie hat ihn ans Fenster gehalten – sie dachte, er muss ins Licht.
Der Internetanbieter: 40 Minuten Warteschleife, dann die Ansage, es doch bitte übers Kundenportal zu machen.
Ich hab drei Abende gebraucht. Sie saß daneben und hat sich zehnmal entschuldigt. Für Dinge, die nicht ihre Schuld waren.
Sie hat keine Familie mehr. Kein Enkel, der mal eben vorbeikommt.
Ohne einen Nachbarn, der zufällig Zeit hat, hätte sie diese Verträge nicht abschließen können. Punkt.
Jahrzehntelang hat sie alles selbst geregelt. Heute scheitert sie an einem Muster auf Papier.
Wann haben wir eigentlich entschieden, dass Grundversorgung nur noch für die gilt, die ein Smartphone bedienen können?
A Nigerian Christian man shares his testimony after the Islamic massacre of his village:
“All the houses were set on fire and all our grain was burned. This morning we buried 29 people.” Why is no one protesting for them?
Als staatlich geprüfter und anerkannter Klimaleugner melde ich mich zur Äußerung des Bundeskanzlers Friedrich Merz zum Waldbrand in Hürtgenwald. Er sagte: "Das ist der Klimawandel. Ich will allen Leugnern des Klimawandels sagen: Schauen Sie sich das genau an, was hier passiert ist“,https://t.co/MVJsFAAYPA
Das ist eine unredliche Aussage. In den 60er bis 90er Jahren hatten wir in Deutschland durchschnittlich eine jährliche Waldbrandfläche von 3300 ha. Von 1990-2020 800 ha, also minus 75 %.
2025 und 2026 waren tatsächlich starke Waldbrandjahre. Aber den Klimawandel für diese beiden Jahre als Ursache heranzuziehen, wird von keiner Statistik belegt. Denn beim Klimawandel handelt es sich um globales Phänomen. Die Waldbrandfläche nahm weltweit um 25 % seit 2000 ab. Und 2025 und 2026 sind weltweit die Waldbrände weiter zurückgegangen - um minus 40% gegenüber dem Durchschnitt der letzten 15 Jahre.(Copernikus:Globale Biomasseverbrennung in 2026 auf dem niedrigsten Level seit 2003, 6.7.2026 in atmosphere monitoring service)
Es ist wie bei der Zuckersteuer. Man will die Haushaltslücken schließen, in dem CO2-Steuern in Höhe von 18 Milliarden € jährlich den Bürgern beim Tanken, bei der Heizung und an ihrem industriellen Arbeitsplatz abgezwackt werden.
Und die Aussage: "wir werden den Klimawandel zurückdrängen", ist lächerlich. Wenn Deutschland kein CO2 mehr ausstößt, geht nach den IPCC-Modellen die globale Temperatur um 0,015 Grad zurück.
Anschleimen beim rot-grünen Milieu von Spiegel bis TAZ wird sich politisch nicht auszahlen. Eher stärkt das Grüne und SPD und Linke. Aber vielleicht ist das der Grund für die grüne Erweckung von Friedrich Merz. 0b diese Propaganda der SPD und den Grünen in Sachsen- Anhalt über die 5 % Hürde hilft ?
In Gaza, staged drama drills for kids go on:
fake blood, bandages, mass casualty simulations, and ambulance evacuations.
All directed by adults under the cover of 'schooling.'
