Hamas commander Ahmed Siyam held 1,000 Gazans at gunpoint to block them from leaving Rantisi Hospital, using them as human shields before hiding at al-Buraq school. IDF reported killing him on Nov 10, 2023. Hamas now admits he was indeed their commander killed as IDF claimed.

Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

The Greatest Generation fought hard to save Europe from the inhumane ideology of the German Nazis

They would have deserved to grow old in prosperous & peaceful societies. Sadly, communist subversion & mass-immigration ruined that prospect

Everything we warned you about is true.

[David Bernstein @ProfDBernstein]

Somehow, people on the left always excuse mass murder by Palestinian terrorists by saying, "what do you expect after years of occupation," but the same people never say regarding settler violence, "what do you expect when there are literally dozens of attacks on Jewish residents every single month?" Note, I am not justifying settler violence, just noting the hypocrisy, that Jews are expected to be stoic in the face of violence, but Palestinians are expected to murder civilians.

So much bs propaganda and selective history this woman has swallowed. Classic useful idiot with suicidal empathy syndrone @Martin_Flanagan

British woman on BBC:
"The oppression didn't start on October 7."
"You say 'Israel has the right to defend itself' — but what about Palestine, whose land was taken? Didn't it have the right to defend itself?"
"You speak of hostages. What about the Palestinian children under rubble — or in prisons? They are hostages too." 🇬🇧🎙️🔥🇮🇱🇵🇸💔

Reporter's Notebook: Thousands marched under tight security Thursday to the Knesset’s gates as part of Jerusalem’s annual LGBTQ Pride March, whose route this year was altered to end at the parliament building.

Many marchers were pleased with the route change, seeing it as a way to vent opposition against the government, which includes several lawmakers allied with homophobic figures.

Jerusalem, a city with a strong conservative bent, boasts a small yet mobilized liberal faction that comprises the bulk of attendees at the capital’s Pride March, with the event tending to take on a slightly more serious political tone than in other cities.

@mhdksafa lies, damn lies and statistics...

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths children.

Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.

[Jake Wallis Simons @JakeWSimons]

Yes

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

No. You’re leaving your decision to a bunch of anti-Israel activists. I’m an expert, my PhD is on this and my book comes out soon. I’ve seen the evidence, I’ve been there first hand, I’ve been extremely critical of the strategy behind the campaign, but it’s not even close to a genocide.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

Great article.

“ The UN has become one of the most dangerous instruments in modern geopolitics. Authoritarian regimes are using the UN’s prestige to normalise their behavior, conceal their crimes and peddle anti-Western propaganda. It should terrify all of us that the world’s most trusted watchdog has been successfully leveraged as a PR firm for tyrants.”

In London 🇬🇧, activists attempted to erect a statue of convicted Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti in Parliament Square.

Barghouti is serving multiple life sentences for orchestrating attacks that killed 4 innocent Israelis and a Greek monk during the Second Intifada. He is also suspected of 33 other attacks that killed 21 more Israelis.

To most people, he is viewed as a terrorist, but for the Free Palestine crowd, he is a hero.

[Bitcoin Teddy @Bitcoin_Teddy]

Reporter: How do you feel about the Iranian Foreign Minister accusing the US and Israel of genocide?

Marco Rubio: The Iranian? He's an expert in genocide. They've killed thousands. Every problem in the Middle East is Iran. Hezbollah? Iran. Shia militias destroying and threatening Iraq? Iran. Hamas? Iran. Houthis? Iran. Assad in Syria? Iran. Everywhere you turn, they're behind all of it.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

So the flotilla activists were rightly and justly held by Israel, though for just half a day, then released and deported. And the world went into complete meltdown. Outrage went to delirious levels.

Now the same flotilla activists have been detained and imprisoned in Libya for the past 10 days, and that prison term has been extended significantly.

And the reaction from the world?

Total silence. Not a peep.

Weird huh? 🤔

[Prof. Math & CS @Zeev81309559]

Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic.

Mentioning Israel was attacked first and suggesting better responses = criticism

Omitting the attacks and saying 'Israel is killing people' = propaganda and antisemitism

Context separates the two.

Douglas Murray:

"Imagine what kind of a psychopath you have to be to gang rape a girl and then shoot her in the head. Most won't be proud of that, but Hamas is."

The vast majority of Gazans celebrated this.

October 7 electrified the international far left

[Daniel @VoteLewko]

Smart. Can you point to a single other "genocide" in history where:
a) The target population grew larger every year,

b) The target population refused to surrender,

c) The genocidal party provided mass humanitarian aid

d) The genocidal party warned the population to move

e) The target population of this genocide immediately held victory parades?

f) The genocidal party had the ability to wipe out the entire target party from the air without a single military casualty but chose not to do so?

g) The genocide abruptly stopped with a ceasefire agreement.

h) Hundreds of medical students from the target population trained and graduated during the genocide.

Any one example will do. Just one. I'll wait.

[Tal Hartuv @TalHartuv]

Hi Zack, I'm a British-born Israeli who was stabbed 18 times by a Palestinian terrorist. Another chopped up my friend in front of my eyes. One got out in the hostage deal. They were paid a salary for years by the UK gov.
Could you tweet: "all of this is a horrific crime. He should be held to account."
Thanks
