@ZohranKMamdani The enemies that died in the War on Terror were pawns of an ideology that sacrifices children as human shield and propaganda fodder.
It's disgraceful that you mourn the Islamic Jihadists as much as their victims. The New Yorkers were innocent victims.
No, the images are not fake. They document a real incident from April 20, 2018.
The photos, posted by an IDF spokesperson (LTC Ariella Mazor / related accounts), show a plastic kite marked with a swastika on the ground after landing in Israel and the same type of kite in flight with a burning Molotov cocktail/firebomb dangling from it. Multiple contemporaneous reports from outlets including The Times of Israel confirmed the event: Palestinians in Gaza flew the swastika-adorned kite carrying an incendiary device across the border during the weekly “Great March of Return” protests.
Independent coverage (including AFP) documented Palestinians preparing and launching fire kites that day, and one photo shows people near the border holding a similar swastika kite with a bomb attached. The tactic of attaching Molotov cocktails or flaming materials to kites (and later balloons) to start fires in Israeli fields was widely reported and continued for months in 2018, causing significant agricultural and ecological damage. Some participants later openly discussed adding swastikas specifically to provoke Israelis.
April 20 also coincided with Hitler’s birthday, which the IDF highlighted in the “true colors” framing. No credible contemporaneous or later fact-checks have identified these specific IDF-released photos as staged, digitally manipulated, or fabricated. Claims that such images are hoaxes typically circulate in partisan online discussions without supporting evidence of manipulation for this particular set of photos.
The swastika itself appears in a form sometimes associated with other traditions (with dots), but the context—its use on an attack kite on that date—made the Nazi symbolism the clear intent.

Children want to chop off other's heads. This isn’t Iran, nor is it an ISIS camp. It’s in Philadelphia, in the United States of America, with many more like it in Michigan and New York, run by the Muslim Brotherhood, who now have governors and people running their lobby within your system. God bless America. God save Trump from this evil.
@rightsidefreee@AlinejadMasih The quote is an accurate rendering of a ruling from Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s jurisprudential manual Tahrir al-Wasilah (also rendered Tahrir-ol-Vasileh), written in the 1960s–1970s.
HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's head with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.
This is life for Christians in Nigeria. The media remains silent.
For property taxes: Officially around $59 million in 2025.
As an operating private club/business with prestige and cash flow: Recent independent estimates center around $500–600 million (Forbes at $564 million), with upside potential argued by some local experts.
The large gap exists mainly because of legal restrictions on use/development and different valuation methods (income approach for taxes vs. broader market/prestige/cash-flow considerations for a potential sale or net-worth estimate).
@FreddyLA7 It's going to be an awesome trip!
Freddie, could you recommend a similarly-themed trip for an American in Germany? An itinerary through small towns and local festivals unique to each region?
Socialism is the violent seizure of the means of production and private property. Also, the state (dictator) decides who gets the limited resources. Just like lenin, Ortega, Castro, Chavez, Mamdami, and Wilson.
Socialism (or the “lower phase of communist society”) is the transitional period following the overthrow of capitalism. The means of production are socialized (typically under state or collective control). Classes and the state still exist in a form (often called the “dictatorship of the proletariat”). Distribution follows the principle “from each according to his ability, to each according to his contribution” (work performed, with deductions for social funds).
Communism (the “higher phase”) is the end state in which the state has “withered away,” classes no longer exist, scarcity is overcome, and distribution follows “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” Money, wage labor, and commodity production disappear.
In short: socialism is the intermediate system that still retains elements of coercion, accounting for labor, and a state apparatus; communism is the fully realized, post-scarcity ideal without those features.
@DiazCanelB A new and more dangerous version of communism is back in the United States.
Socialists want to seize property and control food stores to establish a communist dictatorship like Cuba that tramples human rights and kills anybody struggling for freedom.
@David_Khait The Islamic shopping center claims the right to discriminate based on race and religion. Civil rights violations are a federal offense. Bring in the FBI.
@QuantumGuard17 Descano's goal is to flood working class and middle class neighborhoods with violent criminals. Rich and politically powerful people will have protection behind walls and private security. After the proletariat is scared enough, they will give up their rights.
@icheegoooo1791@DrcharlieWardQ@DOGE The point he was making is that the COVID fund did not have those safeguards. The claim was that getting the money out the door was so time-critical that we had to suspend normal processes. So much of the money set aside for COVID was stolen and wasted.
