[ישראל כ”ץ Israel Katz @Israel_katz]

Kudüs’ü yönetmeyi hayal eden ve tehditler savuran Türkiye İçişleri Bakanı’na şunu söylüyorum:

Kudüs, Konstantinopolis değildir ve İsrail Devleti de çökmekte olan bir Haçlı İmparatorluğu değildir. İsrail, her türlü tehdide karşı kendini savunma kapasitesini kanıtlamış güçlü ve kararlı bir devlettir.

Kudüs, 3.000 yıldır Yahudi halkının başkentidir ve sonsuza dek İsrail’in başkenti olmaya devam edecektir. Siz ve Erdoğan’ın hayalini kurduğu Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ise çökmüştür ve bir daha asla geri dönmeyecektir.

Ne yazık ki, Türkiye’yi modern bir devlete dönüştürmek için çalışan Atatürk’ün mirasından hiçbir ders çıkarmadınız; aksine, Türkiye’yi yeniden karanlık ve geri kalmış bir döneme sürüklemek için çalışıyorsunuz.

The Gaza war was fought with proportionality, outstanding protection of civilian life, and was started by Hamas.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

South Africa’s baseless “genocide” case at the ICJ is collapsing.

South Africa has requested an extraordinary 18-month (!) extension to submit its arguments.

The written submissions will not end before 2029.

All the claims of “urgency” have now turned into South Africa’s quiet requests to buy more time.

This case was never about the facts.

It has always been a propaganda campaign by South Africa in the service of Hamas, masquerading as a legal process.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

Israel dropped 200,000 bombs. If they wanted to commit a genocide they would have wiped every person in Gaza from existence.

They have a kill percentage of 3.2%.

WWII killed approximately 4% of the global population.

The Siege of Leningrad killed approximately 25% of the city’s population.

The atomic bomb killed approximately 30-40% of Hiroshima’s population instantly.

The firebombing of Tokyo killed approximately 5-8% of the city’s population in one night.

The bombing was not optimized for killing people. It was optimized for destroying infrastructure tunnels, weapons storage, command nodes, and the physical environment Hamas operated in.

They warned civilians before strikes documented:

They dropped leaflets, made phone calls, sent text messages telling people to evacuate (documented)

They allowed 112,000 aid trucks into Gaza during active combat

They facilitated field hospitals

They targeted Hamas commanders specifically documented kills of senior Hamas leadership including Yahya Sinwar.

No military in history has done more administrative work to avoid civilian casualties while simultaneously fighting an enemy that deliberately hides in hospitals, schools, and mosques and uses its own population as shields also documented, on Hamas’s own video.

Tucker Carlson is a moron and a coward and in a debate with someone who’s not aligned with Russian, Iranian and Chinese propaganda he wouldn’t survive one round.

Of course all these people are cowards who only invite each other to discuss this issue because anyone with half a brain would wipe the floor with them.

[George Selgin @GeorgeSelgin]

Now the supply and demand diagram is a neoliberal plot.

[Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM]

The mask is off.

While Hamas raped and murdered innocent civilians, UN officials manipulated minds by unleashing an information war that echoed Hamas propaganda.

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

Stupid.

Why is it that the wisest and supposedly most learned institutions of the West are always the first to succumb to this cowardice?

An elite culture that chooses intellectual uniformity — a museum that literally cannot tell a story — is no longer fit for purpose. What’s the point of all your learning if it makes you cowards?

I love this (1998) quote by the late, great Charles Krauthammer on Israel, Zionism and Jewish identity:

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

The Chargé d’Affaires of the Spanish Embassy in Israel was summoned today for a clarification meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs following severe acts of violence by the Spanish authorities against the flotilla provocateurs

At the instruction of Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, the Political Director at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yossi Amrani, summoned today, 24 May 2026, the Chargé d’Affaires of the Spanish Embassy in Israel, Francisca Pedrós, for a clarification meeting following the publication of videos and images showing severe acts of violence by the Spanish authorities against the flotilla provocateurs.

The Political Director pointed to the hypocrisy of the Spanish government, which sends its provocateurs to Israel and then condemns Israel for its lawful actions to enforce a legal naval blockade - while at the same time Spanish authorities employed severe violence against those same flotilla participants. The Political Director demanded an explanation as to why, nearly 24 hours after the serious acts of violence committed by the Spanish authorities, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez or any of his ministers have still not seen fit to condemn the Spanish authorities’ violence, while they are always quick to condemn Israel on any pretext whatsoever.

The Political Director clarified that the Spanish authorities had to deal only with provocations carried out by some of the flotilla participants against Israel - whereas Israel faced far more serious provocations by many hundreds of flotilla participants during each of the last six flotillas - and yet the Spanish authorities resorted to severe violence that was not employed by Israel.

The Political Director demanded explanations from the Chargé d’Affaires as to why the Spanish government has thus far taken no action regarding flotilla activist and Spanish citizen Saif Abu Kashk, who has ties to Hamas and on whom U.S. sanctions were also imposed last week.

[Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו @netanyahu]

I spoke last night with President @realDonaldTrump about the memorandum of understanding to reopen the Straits of Hormuz and the upcoming negotiations toward a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.

I expressed my deep appreciation to President Trump for his unwavering commitment to Israel’s security, including during Operation Roaring Lion and Epic Fury, when American and Israeli forces fought shoulder to shoulder against the Iranian threat.

President Trump and I agreed that any final agreement with Iran must eliminate the nuclear danger. That means dismantling Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites and removing its enriched nuclear material from its territory.

President Trump also reaffirmed Israel’s right to defend itself against threats on every front, including Lebanon.

The partnership between us and our two countries has been proven on the battlefield and has never been stronger. 

My policy, like President Trump’s, remains unchanged: Iran will not have nuclear weapons.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

We demand an explanation from the Spanish government regarding its treatment of the flotilla anarchists

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

It’s been said a million times already, but the docking scene in Interstellar (2014) still absolutely rules. Hans Zimmer’s score, McConaughey trying to manually match rotation while everything is seconds from exploding… pure adrenaline filmmaking.

[Human Progress @HumanProgress]

In 1960, around a fifth of all children died before their 5th birthday.

Today, that number has collapsed across nearly every country on Earth.
