To paraphrase Churchill-
“You were given the choice between ensuring Pennsylvania (choosing a Jewish VP) and possibly winning Michigan by appeasing the Muslim voters. You chose Michigan and have lost both”

No on could have ever predicted this

[Abu Ali Express English @AbuAliEnglishB1]

Two new pieces of evidence prove #Hamas responsible for #RafahOnFıre incident, as posted here yesterday:

1. incriminating conversation between two Gazans
2. satellite images of rocket launchers

Both indicate a Hamas weapons warehouse, hidden inside the #Rafah camp, caused fire.

Seit 200 Tagen steht für ihre Familien die Welt still, fehlen ihr Lachen, ihre Umarmungen, klimpernde Schlüssel in der sich öffnenden Tür. Solange die Geiseln nicht frei sind, werden wir nicht nachlassen. Erst wenn sie zuhause sind, hat Frieden eine Chance.

📢📢 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT📢📢

@Columbia has opened an investigation into my advocacy for the Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, and staff at the university.

This is a clear act of retaliation and an attempt to silence me.

Israel having to negotiate for the release of its civilian hostages is among the most absurd and humiliating things I’ve ever seen in my life.

These aren’t POWs being exchanged among warring nations after having been captured in battle. They’re KIDNAPPING VICTIMS, forcibly dragged from their homes at gunpoint and kept in underground rat tunnels for months. Yet Israel has to send delegations to Paris and kindly ask that the governments of Qatar and Egypt—those noted bastions of human rights!—intercede and convince Hamas terrorists to release them, in exchange for Israel releasing violent criminals (with a ratio that will undoubtedly be an order of magnitude greater, of course). As if civilian hostages and Hamas militants are morally fungible.

Maybe I’m just a dumb Marine who doesn’t understand the world of diplomacy, but it feels like nothing less than a ritual in forced humiliation. Having to barter for the safe return of women and children. Rape victims and babies.

It’s repugnant.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t blame Israel for doing anything its power to secure the safe return of its people. I respect them for seeking resolution using all the means at its disposal. God knows, I’d do nothing less in their situation.

But Israel shouldn’t *have to*. Hamas releasing the civilian hostages it seized on October 7th should be a basic prerequisite for all other points of consideration here. Returning the hostages should *precede* negotiations for a ceasefire, not be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for one.

Then again, what do I know? I’m just a random guy on Twitter who continues to be shocked at the utter moral cowardice evinced by so many public figures, global leaders, and political officials since October 7th. Surely, I’m missing something in my understanding of the situation. After all, there’s significant historical nuance here, and the dynamics are far more complex than terrorists simply having kidnapped, raped, and murdered innocent people.

Right?

This is so embarrassing for @UNReliefChief.

Modify your statement.

Thank you @GermanyDiplo

South African cricket captain removed. Is it because he is Jewish?

[Ella Ke @EllaTravelsLove]

🚨🚨🚨
SA-U19 cricket captain David Teeger (Jewish), has been replaced ahead of the world cup event set to be held in SA, just for saying he supports Israel in October.

What is going on in South Africa? How did they become so racist?

Today I was among the journalists who have attended a private screening of the raw footage of October 7th and I want to express to you what I saw since it’s not been made public. It’s been a very heavy day. A decision was made that Jews are less than human, and treated that way in words and deeds..I now know that’s exactly the message Hamas sent on purpose — at scale. I wasn’t aware of that before. I saw bodies were burned but I did not understand or appreciate how intentional the effort was - they did it methodically, you hear it in the voices, the commands the ease, the excitement of finding and mutilating victims.
