Views are personal. Facts are universal. Data is a gift. Opinions my own.
Spain has positioned itself as one of Europe’s loudest anti-Israel voices yet when flotilla members blocked the arrivals gate for their photo op, Spanish authorities handled them with a level of force they would instantly condemn if Israel did the same.
That’s the whole hypocrisy in one scene: governments holding Israel to standards they can’t meet for five minutes in their own airports.
So will the world call for boycotts of Spain? Will activists flood the streets? Will celebrities post black squares and moral lectures?
We both know the answer.
Silent, blind, and deaf.
Hypocrites with double standards.
Why don’t they talk about Iran and the thousands killed by the Islamic Republic?
If you’re silent about Iran, you were never about human rights.
let’s go back to 1948
In Italian, there is a famous phrase: “La verità fa male.” It means, the truth hurts.
And when it comes to 1948, there is a lot of truth that hurts a lot of people. So here it is in an AI video :)
That's 1 minute, see you tomorrow for Day 91!

Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff stunned the audience by destroying the Palestinian narrative about the conflict.
Palestine never existed as a sovereign Arab state. The British Mandate of Palestine was a British regime that gained control of the Land of Israel after the Ottoman Empire's fall in 1917.
Jews lived in the Holy Land (the Old Yishuv) for centuries, including under Ottoman rule when they were Jerusalem's majority.
Before 1909, Tel Aviv was desert land legally bought by Jews, who turned it into a prosperous city. No Arabs were thrown out; Jews legally purchased desert lands and built kibbutzim (agricultural towns).
After the British returned the mandate to the UN, the Arab-Muslim world rejected the partition plan and declared war on Israel and their own Jewish populations. Arab states ethnically cleansed most Jews, who fled to Israel. Armies from Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Egypt, plus local Arabs, aimed to "push all Jews into the sea."
During the War of Independence, Arab armies ordered local Arabs to leave combat zones to annihilate Jews. Some Arabs were forcibly evacuated to Gaza and the West Bank under Egyptian and Jordanian control.
Israel has never committed genocide and never will. By defending itself, Israel prevents another Jewish genocide.
Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran’s regime are the obstacles to Middle East peace!
Retweet if you support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself. 🙏
Numerous reports by Palestinian civilians in Gaza confirm what has been a disturbing trend for many months: Hamas is turning medical, mental health & humanitarian facilities into hideouts, interrogation centers, jails, and dungeons for the terror group's resurgent control💔
I have just seen the unedited footage of the October 7th attacks. Please read:
What I saw was young men chopping off heads, shooting everything in sight, slaughtering little crying kids calling for their mummy, throwing grenades inside houses and cars and shelters, maiming bodies, playing with them, setting humans on fire, looking like it's the happiest day of their life.
They call their relatives to celebrate how many they have killed. The parents back in Gaza are thrilled. They cheer and ask for more.
"Bring back some heads for the people to play with" - asks a commander. The savages wilfully oblige, using flick knives to remove the skulls from slaughtered bodies like butchers carving up a carcass.
"Bring some home for the people so we can crucify them in the square" the Hamas leaders order.
The mangled, blood soaked bodies of hostages were paraded through the streets. The Gazan crowds cheered and filmed, celebrating or coming to spit on the terrified youngsters in the back of pick ups.
The young Hamas brutes with their ecstatic grins, taking selfies, shouting Allahu Akbar, looked like so many of the young men in dinghies. Trendy clothes, modern phones. Energy and conviction.
The first wave of attackers on October 7th were Hamas soldiers.
The second, amateur conscripts.
The third, Gazan civilians delighted to join in.
What even are these monsters.
I am forever changed, seeing what I have seen. And it isn't fake. It's footage Hamas shot themselves.
Israel must live with that right next door.
I fear we now have it, in hotels and houses around the country

A grim end to the whale shark
The rare whale shark, an endangered species protected under Israeli law, was recently spotted off the coasts of Netanya, Ashdod, and Ashkelon, sparking wonder and excitement across Israel.
Now, it appears the gentle giant’s journey ended tragically in Gaza, where videos circulating online show crowds in Khan Younis dragging the shark ashore and reportedly butchering it amid curious onlookers.
Attempts to obtain comment from Greta Thunberg were unsuccessful.

#Israel moved heaven and earth to free all its citizens in captivity by Hamas, including four Arabs, two of them -- Qaid Alkadi and Hisham Al-Sayed -- alive, and two of them -- Yousef Zayadna and Muhammad al-Atrash -- dead.
Israel rescued Arab Muslims, dead and alive, from the captivity of Islamist Hamas.
Let that sink in.
The feminist society at the prestigious London School of Economics is trying to cancel an event about the sexual violence of Hamas on October 7.
Read that again. A FEMINIST society. Shame on them.
@LSEnews
A Palestinian man in Gaza has recorded a desperate plea to the world:
“Hamas is killing hundreds of children, women, youths, and elderly people. Today, Hamas is waging terror against the people in Gaza, killing with RPGs. Hamas is 100% ISIS.”
For two years, UN officials, celebrities, human rights groups, Western leaders, and the media howled about Palestinian deaths. Now, as Hamas slaughters Palestinians in the streets - silence.

Let's be clear.
The hostages were not released. They were not freed. They were not let go.
The Hostages were ransomed at an incredibly high price. Hundreds of bloodthirsty terrorists were released, and billions of aid were paid for their release.
