@NewIwm@EvanDyerCBC You could call the Egyptian border a prison wall too. You could say the same of Lebanon's border to Israel. The Leanese state locking Israelis in. Israel doesn’t owe Gaza jobs r edicts care.
⚡️Two officials confirm the ongoing round of Lebanon-Israel talks is worst of the 5
• Sources say delegations were coming with agreed constructive thinking but atmosphere in room has been charged, negative
• Key standoff around Israeli withdrawal, handing over pilot zones to Lebanese army
• Politically it reflects new reality Beirut is facing after US agreed to discuss Lebanon with Iran
• In Israel, few months before elections, Netanyahu is not in a place to compromise and that has become evident in talks
🚨 LIBERAL MUSLIM MP HELPS IRANIAN MUSLIM WITH IRGC-LINKED TIES ENTER CANADA
CSIS warned: Iranian 🇮🇷 Mohammadreza Pakatchian (MAPNA employee sanctioned for WMD/weapons programs) is a national security threat.
His PhD in aerospace at Carleton? Will advance Iran’s missiles & drones.
Yet Liberal MP Yasir Naqvi’s office helped fast-track his visa AFTER the warning. Carleton even gave him an $8k scholarship. All while we sanction Iran & IRGC threatens us.
This is Canada First? Or Iran First?Now they’re welcomed in Ottawa?
Deport him. Fire the enablers. Secure the border. 🇨🇦
What the hell is going on: @MarkJCarney@liberal_party?

Students for Justice in Palestine at the University of Colorado Boulder has publicly declared support for Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the man accused of carrying out the Boulder firebomb attack that killed Karen Diamond and injured more than a dozen people at a rally for Israeli hostages.
In a statement, the group praised Soliman for taking “direct action” and described his attack as a “decisive act of resistance.”
Anti-Zionist activist groups across the U.S. have also campaigned for convicted hate-crime offender Tarek Bazrouk, jailed arsonist Casey Goonan, and other individuals imprisoned for violence.
Darializa Chevalier lost the Bronx part of the district by 30 points. She also lost predominantly Black and Hispanic areas, and she lost lower income areas by 10 points. She won with young voters and higher income voters, and won majority college educated areas by 20 points.
🚨IMPORTANT: First statement in English from the June 26 anti-Hamas revolution in Gaza: an appeal to international media, human rights organizations, and the international community.
Vor dieser Frau ziehe ich persönlich den Hut.
In Barcelona wird derzeit gegen die bekannte Publizistin Pilar Rahola ermittelt – nicht wegen Gewalt, nicht wegen Korruption, sondern weil sie seit Jahren offen und kompromisslos an der Seite Israels steht.
Rahola ist keine Jüdin. Sie stammt aus einer christlichen katalanischen Familie, war Politikerin und Vizebürgermeisterin von Barcelona, bevor sie sich dem Journalismus widmete. Heute gehört sie zu den bekanntesten pro-israelischen Stimmen im spanischsprachigen Raum.
Zu ihren Aussagen gehören Sätze wie:
• „Israel ist das einzige Land der Welt, dessen Existenzrecht ständig infrage gestellt wird.“
• „Israel wird als einzige Demokratie dazu aufgefordert, gegen Terroristen mit Samthandschuhen zu kämpfen, obwohl diese sich hinter ihren eigenen Kindern verstecken.“
• „Die Tragödie der Palästinenser liegt nicht in Israel, sondern in ihrer eigenen Führung.“
• „Die UNO ist zu einem Theater des Absurden geworden, das Israel verurteilt und gleichzeitig echte Diktaturen und Massaker ignoriert.“
Genau wegen solcher Aussagen wurde nun Anzeige gegen sie erstattet. Ihr wird vorgeworfen, Hass gegen Palästinenser zu schüren und den „zionistischen Staat“ zu unterstützen.
Dabei stellt sich eine einfache Frage:
Seit wann ist die Unterstützung Israels ein Fall für die Staatsanwaltschaft?
Die israelische Botschaft in Madrid hat Rahola ihre volle Unterstützung ausgesprochen. Sie selbst erklärte:
„Wenn sie glauben, dass ich irgendwann der Menge folgen werde, dann irren sie sich. Meine Verbundenheit mit Israel steht nicht zur Debatte.“
Ob man jeder ihrer Aussagen zustimmt oder nicht, ist dabei zweitrangig. Entscheidend ist etwas anderes:
Wer heute den Mut hat, in Europa offen für Israel einzutreten, braucht oft mehr Rückgrat als diejenigen, die sich einfach dem Zeitgeist anschließen.
Pilar Rahola steht dafür exemplarisch.
Respekt.
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), in concession speech: “Jews have given back so much to this country. As history has taught us, antisemitic tropes and stereotypes, some of which I heard personally on this campaign, will ultimately be the undoing of our democracy if we all don’t lean in and speak out — even if it’s not politically expedient.”
Call me crazy, but as an American 🇺🇸 citizen born in Lebanon 🇱🇧, I haven’t been able to enter the country I was born in for 11 years, not because I’m a criminal, but simply because I spoke out against the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies, Hizbollah and Amal militias.
Yet I can pack my bags today, travel to Israel 🇮🇱 tomorrow, and be treated with respect and dignity like any other person.
So I ask: who is the real enemy?
The one that has occupied and controlled Lebanon for 40+ years… or the neighbor that seeks peace and prosperity?
A commission of three people, none of them speaks Arabic or Hebrew, that did not travel to Israel or Gaza/West Bank, that did not interview Israeli officials and only interviewed Palestinians who had traveled, came up with a verdict by relying heavily on open sources, which mostly rely on Hamas fighters masquerading as -“aJazeera” journalists.
#BloodLibel
@abierkhatib There is no evidence of this. 2000 years of blood libels by your "moral" institutions. Here you go" Everybody knew this was true also. The church and the king agreed. https://t.co/IwgyownBmi
On this day — June 24, 1922
Walther Rathenau, German Jewish industrialist, intellectual & Foreign Minister of the Weimar Republic, was gunned down in Berlin — this was 11 years before Hitler took power.
Right-wing extremists — obsessed with The Protocols of the Elders of Zion & antisemitic conspiracy theories — murdered him on his way to work. They hated him for being Jewish, for stabilizing Germany’s economy, and for negotiating with the Allies.
His assassination was a screaming warning: the “stab in the back” myth and modern blood libels were no longer fringe. Raw Jew-hatred was going mainstream.
Rathenau believed Jews could be fully accepted as loyal Germans. The bullets proved him wrong.
No amount of assimilation, achievement, or loyalty protects Jews when a society decides they are the eternal enemy.
That’s why the Jewish people eventually stopped depending on the goodwill of others and built their own state.
@dimitrilascaris They didn't utter it to demonize Israel or Jews or to destroy it. They actually have morals and are not simple Jew haters. Unlike you. It also shows the vibrancy and honesty of Israeli politics.
At ~83% in, Chevalier leads Espaillat 49.6-46.1 (+2,326). Across precincts the strongest predictor of the swing to her is college share (r = -0.60 with Espaillat's margin); Black share is basically flat (-0.06). So the fault line (until the 15% of votes from the trail come in) is gentrification, not race. Her margin came mostly from the college/white precincts, +2,562 net, which alone exceeds her whole win; Espaillat held his Dominican base but couldn't outvote the rest.
