Today, Trump and JD Vance lost the trust of 8.3 billion people on Earth and gained the respect of just one man: the Supreme Leader of the Islamic regime in Iran. Quite the trade.
To Trump: In the Middle East, loyalty is currency. If you abandon your closest friend halfway through a fight and cut deals behind their back while leaving them exposed, don't expect anyone to trust your guarantees again. You told the world, "The U.S. and Israel carried out an operation against Iran," then walked away and left your ally standing alone.
In the Middle East, we don't judge friends by speeches; we judge them by who stays when the missiles fly. A person who abandons an ally halfway and cuts deals behind their back is not someone you call in a crisis.
You will say it's about American interests. Fine. But others also have interests, and they have memories. You can call it "America's interests." We call it something else: leaving your friends in the storm.
Before asking, "Why don't they defend themselves?" remember that countries like Israel did and are still doing so alone.
And also remember that the UAE defended itself, struck back forcefully, and banned the Muslim Brotherhood. Many of your countries in the West did neither.
The lesson is simple. If you can leave your closest friend exposed today, why should anyone trust your promises tomorrow? Maybe it's time for the Middle East to start thinking about alternatives.
And yes, when Iran strikes again, don't assume the Middle East will dial Washington. People don't call someone who might leak information to Turkey or cut a deal with Tehran while their friends are still under fire.
My God.
This Israeli witness described a scene in which a group of Palestinians dragged a woman from a vehicle, raped her and mocked her throughout the attack.
The woman was then brutally murdered with a knife, after which … the sexual abuse continued. After she was dead.
The same group later encountered a man and woman attempting to flee and killed them using axes and knives
Palestinian civilians who participated in the October 7 attacks arrived carrying weapons such as axes and knives and were intent on inflicting extreme sexual violence against Jewish victims.
It Was Supposed to Be History
I'm a Polish filmmaker living in London.
I wasn't raised to care about antisemitism. Quite the opposite.
Like many Poles of my generation, I grew up with a version of history that focused heavily on Polish suffering during the Second World War. I visited Auschwitz as a teenager, yet somehow left without truly understanding the scale of what had happened to Europe's Jews.
That changed when I was 19 and worked on Schindler's List.
For the first time, I was confronted with parts of history that had been missing from my education. Later, living in Paris and spending time in New York, I met Jewish people whose understanding of Poland, Europe and history was very different from my own. Some conversations were uncomfortable. A few were life-changing.
The more I learned, the more I realised that antisemitism didn't disappear after the Holocaust. It adapted.
Today it often arrives dressed as political activism, conspiracy theories, selective outrage, historical revisionism, or simply a double standard applied to the world's only Jewish state.
I am not Jewish. I have no family connection to Israel.
What I do have is a deep distrust of propaganda, mob thinking, and people who demand that history be simplified into slogans.
My work on antisemitism began with a simple realisation: if I could be misled about history, so could millions of others.
That is why I make films, conduct interviews, and challenge narratives.
Not because I have all the answers.
Because I spent too many years believing things that weren't true.
The number of clueless America First people on X is staggering... Israel is doing the whole World's dirty work. Fighting at the front of the global jihad against the infidels and giving the US three CIA offices' worth of intelligence to help stop attacks on innocent American every week. A bit of thanks at least would go a long way. The money isn't much really, it doesn't even cover the cost of getting the intel.
Join me in once again calling for the resignation of @TheLancet editor Richard Horton.
Publishing a petition calling for the boycott of the Israeli Medical Association is an absolute disgrace. Medicine should bring physicians together in service of patients, not weaponize professional organizations for political campaigns.
Just as it failed the public on the #COVID19 origins debate, The Lancet is again positioning itself as a political actor rather than a medical journal.
@elikowaz Waldman is the exact profile their movement claims to want, an Israeli who hired Gazans, funded a hospital, built bridges. They screamed at him anyway. The lesson is that the cause was never coexistence, it was the eradication of any Israeli, even the ones who did the work.
פרשת קטארפייק נתפרה כדי לייצר ניגוד עניינים במשרד רוה"מ על מנת להשאיר את רונן בר בתפקידו.
החוקרים לא הבינו מה צריך לחקור, המוסד לא הבין איפה הפגיעה בביטחון המדינה והשופט מזרחי לא הבין מה העבירה שעליו לשפוט.
אותה יד נעלמה שמנקה את פרשת הפצמ"שית תפרה את פרשת קטארפייק.
לא נסלח.
🚨 HERO JUDGE ALAN D. ALBRIGHT JUST DROPPED THE HAMMER ON CAIR - THANK YOU, SIR!
One man. One federal judge. One epic order that could finally bring down the jihadi group masquerading as a “civil rights” organization.
Thank you, Judge Alan D. Albright - the hero who refused to let CAIR hide in the shadows.
In a stunning ruling today, you just ordered CAIR Foundation (CAIR National) to expose:
• Foreign donors who funneled $5,000+ into CAIR and its Washington Trust Foundation
• Nihad Awad’s secret trips to terror hotspots - Egypt, Gaza, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE - including who he met with about funding, operations, Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood
• Communications on foreign cash flows
• Hit counts on explosive terms like “Hamas,” “Muslim Brotherhood,” “October 7,” “Jihad,” “Sinwar,” “Haniyeh,” “Holy Land Foundation,” and more
This is the same CAIR suing Governor Greg Abbott and AG Ken Paxton for daring to call out the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as the terrorist-linked threats they are.
You, Judge Albright, just ripped the veil off their secrets. No more hiding behind “civil rights” while pushing jihadist narratives and October 7 apologetics.
You might just be the one man who takes CAIR down.
America owes you a debt of gratitude. Leaders like you are why this country still has a fighting chance.
God bless you, Judge Albright.
Texas - and the entire nation - stands with you. 🇺🇸
@habibi_uk Here’s Uzmar Bashir dancing along to the “boom, boom Tel Aviv” song that was sung at the Israeli tourists in Vietnam. Evidence is building up.
Una periodista francesa se infiltró en grupos antiisraelíes y descubrió cómo el odio a los judíos se disfraza de activismo y se normaliza en universidades y colectivos que se dicen progresistas.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 An American pilot with 25 years of experience, a veteran of three wars and hundreds of combat sorties, spoke about Israeli military pilots. He published a post that quickly went viral:
“I’ve flown over Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. I thought I had seen everything.
But when I saw what the Israeli Air Force is doing in Iran, I realized I’m still a student.
Precision. Logistics.
200 aircraft in one night.
500 targets.
1,500 kilometers.
No aerial refueling from American bases.
All the fuel from home.
All the weapons from home.
It’s like flying from Miami to New York, bombing targets along the way, and returning—
while 200 aircraft move simultaneously without a single collision.
To the Israeli pilots:
You are not just the best in the Middle East.
You are the best in the world.
And that’s the final word.”

Victor Davis Hanson just revealed something that stopped me in my tracks.
Israel is not just targeting Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders. They are specifically going after the officers who k!lled protesters — the people who ran checkpoints and shot Iranians in the streets during the January uprisings when the regime massacred thousands of its own citizens.
And they're calling them first.
VDH described one exchange: an Israeli contact reached an IRGC officer and told him he was a d∗ad man. The officer's response: 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘩, 𝘐'𝘮 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨.
He did do something wrong. He k!lled protesters. And Israel knows exactly who he is, where he is, and what he did — because Iranians inside the country are feeding them the intelligence. Cell phones. Starlink. A population that h∗tes this regime so deeply that ordinary citizens are calling in GPS coordinates of checkpoints from their apartment windows.
This is what Israeli intelligence penetration of Iran actually looks like in practice. It's not just satellites and signals. It's millions of Iranians who want this regime gone and are willing to risk everything to make it happen.
VDH also reveals the division of labor in this war: 𝗜𝘀𝗿𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹. 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. Israel wants three to four more weeks to finish the job on command and control.
There's also a sobering note: Iran apparently had significantly more missiles than anyone estimated — possibly 3,000 to 4,000. They're still firing cluster bomb munitions, which are uniquely difficult to defend against because the bomblets scatter on detonation and overwhelm point defenses. That's why residential neighborhoods are still being hit.
But the bigger picture VDH is painting is this: the Iranian people are not bystanders in this war. They are active participants — feeding coordinates, making calls, pointing lasers. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.
That IRGC officer was wrong about one thing. He did do something wrong. And someone who loved Iran enough to risk their life made sure Israel knew about it.
@iranidaturan@benshapiro@marklevinshow Love to you, Ida, and to all those fighting the hateful Iran Regime.
From Jerusalem, Eternal Capital of the Jews. We spent much of our Sabbath today in the shelter, but it's so worth it if the evil Regime finally falls.
As an Iranian who came to the West, one of the biggest shocks that still hits me every day is the deep antisemitism I see, especially among white people here. It just keeps surprising me more and more.
With Muslims, I can understand where a lot of the hatred toward Jews comes from. It's not even hidden, it's built right into the core of Islam, and plenty don't bother denying it.
But white Westerners, they try so hard to pretend it's not there, to deny it, or to reframe it as criticism of something else. Yet it keeps coming out anyway, and almost always from the same type: people who have failed in life, who refuse to take responsibility for their own messes, and who need a scapegoat to feel less worthless.
You rarely see successful, smart, capable people pushing this garbage. It's the bitter, resentful failures who grab onto it like a lifeline.
The most frustrating and ridiculous part is how Muslims, especially the ones who are openly the West's worst enemies, have figured out how to exploit this exact weakness.
Muslims in the West steal tax money, rape daughters, terrorize and kill people, intimidate everyone, and make no secret that they want to dominate, take away freedoms, and conquer from within.
But muslims have learned the trick: just press the Israel button, frame anything as connected to Israel, and suddenly a ton of Americans and Canadians have their brains reset. They start screaming "Israel! Israel!" and completely forget about the real crimes and threats right in front of them. It's like watching a switch flip, and it's absurd.
Take Tucker Carlson as a perfect example: His antisemitism was spotted right away as a vulnerability, and suddenly Qatar rolls out the red carpet for him. It's no coincidence; they detect the weakness and move in to use it. They welcomed him warmly, and now you see him pushing their agenda hard, criticizing Israel relentlessly, spreading narratives that align exactly with what Qatar wants: keeping the regime alive in Iran.
For us Iranians, this whole situation is honestly laughable and exhausting at the same time. Every day under my posts, these lunatics swarm in calling me a Mossad agent or saying I'm paid by Israel. It's so stupid it's hard to believe people actually type it out.
There are 90 million Iranians fighting this regime for our own damn good reasons, real, deep, legitimate ones that have zero to do with Israel. Yeah, getting rid of the regime would help Israel too, but that's not why I'm saying what I say. I have more than enough of my own reasons; no one needs to pay me or brainwash me. I’m Iranian, I grow up in Iran moron. I know what I am talking about when I say this regime is an existential threat to the US, not Israel.
These people's minds are so warped they can't see reality anymore. It's twisted, dangerous, and one of the biggest cracks in Western society. The US and Canada have to confront this antisemitism directly and stop it. Letting it go unchecked just lets real enemies exploit the divisions and get away with everything while the actual threats keep growing. This madness needs to end.
It may be shocking @TCNetwork@TuckerCarlson because it is true, facts from @GovMikeHuckabee Israel has implemented more civilian harm mitigation measures than any military in history and yes has a lower civilian death ratio than the urban centric war/battles like Iraq War, Korean War, or any comparable major protracted urban battles Manila, Seoul, Mosul, etc.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad said 40 of its commanders and deputy commanders were killed during the Oct. 7 war, including individuals earlier reported as civilians.
@no_itsmyturn
1300 years ago, a Jew in Iran wrote this letter in Judeo-Persian to his Jewish friends in China, which goes far back in Jewish life in China.
In 1949, the communist government of China ethnically cleansed China of all Jews living there. Tens of thousands of Jews became stateless overnight. Since October 7th, China has taken an active role in fueling global antisemitism.
