A video of Israeli settlers taking over a Palestinian home in the village of Jalud after forcibly expelling the family.

Establishing illegal outposts is no longer enough. Israeli settlers are now taking over Palestinian homes.

CRAZY: For the first time, the U.S. Embassy’s Fourth of July celebration in Israel will not be held inside Israel. Instead, it will take place in the illegal Israeli settlement of Efrat, south of Jerusalem, in the occupied West Bank.

We tax cigarettes to reduce smoking.
We tax alcohol to reduce drinking.
We tax fuel to reduce driving.

What do you think happens when you tax employing people and running a business?

@TouchmineX yeah, 8D chess to be beaten by either Spain or Croatia.

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

The Israeli government has equipped Israeli settlers in the West Bank with drones, which are being used to harass and attack Palestinians.

Israeli settler terrorism is not the work of a few extremists. It is state-backed terrorism.

Total support for anti-Hamas Gazans who want to live in peace, and without Hamas.

BREAKING: Palestinians are gathering across the Gaza Strip to begin anti-Hamas protests.

DOWN WITH HAMAS!

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

To all Western media, including pro-Palestine outlets: right now, thousands of Palestinian civilians are taking part in massive anti-Hamas protests across the Gaza Strip.

Stand with them. Carry their voices. Don't abandon them.

It says an awful lot about France - and not in a good way - that there is "political divide" on using air conditioning when temperatures literally exceed those of the Sahara desert, and when France has one of the greenest energy mixes in the world (thanks to nuclear).

And it says even more that those who oppose AC are often the same as those who oppose nuclear: the view - presumably - is that you should neither adapt to climate change (AC) nor prevent it (nuclear).

Also the same people, incidentally, who oppose pesticides and fertilizers - basically modern farming - and push for all-organic: a prescription that, if universally applied, would literally starve billions of people (and, ironically, would require so much additional farmland it would devastate the world's remaining forests).

It's all part of the same logical fallacy, the notion that if something causes a problem, then that thing is the problem.

Yes progress and technology caused and continue to cause plenty of environmental issues. And there is indeed something seductive in saying "we've gone too far, let's change tracks, let's head towards a simpler, slower life, we used to be like that."

But not only is this just not feasible without causing far greater harm to ourselves, it's also a fundamentally nihilistic and mortiferous ideology. One that rests on a profound discomfort with what's arguably the single most defining feature of humanity: our ability to shape our environment to suit us, to fight our circumstances rather than surrender to them. That's been the case ever since we discovered fire and invented farming.

It is, at the end of the day, the transformation of humanity's genius - our need to create and improve our condition - into a vice. They make it sound like a humanistic project but how could it be since the core premise is fear of humans and contempt for our very nature?

Conclusion: yes, 100 times yes, use AC. You'd need to be a complete moron to let yourself boil under 43C heat in order to "save the planet." If climate change is to be solved, it will be by getting the ideologues out of the way of the people who actually fix things.

Être parent dans la France socialiste de 2026.

L'État vous vole 60% de vos revenus et laisse vos enfants suffoquer en classe, jusqu'à en faire des malaises.

Face à la situation, vous décidez d'agir. Vous vous cotisez avec les autres parents pour acheter des climatiseurs.

En seulement quelques jours, 2 000 euros sont récoltés et 5 climatiseurs sont achetés.

La ville refuse d'abord de les installer. Elle finit toutefois par accepter.

Le nouveau maire, forcément de gauche, trouve le moyen de se plaindre et dénonce l'inégalité insupportable avec les autres écoles.

Morale de l'histoire : en France socialiste, quand vous décidez de pallier les défaillances des socialistes avec l'argent qu'ils daignent encore vous laisser, ils trouvent quand même le moyen de vous cracher à la figure.

They found out the most far left newspaper of France, which is by the way most radically against air conditioning

Has their entire roof covered in AC units

Rules for thee, not for me 😂

Russia's fuel blackmail of Europe did not age well.

Horrifying but not surprising.

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

Hamas militias are now threatening clan leaders in Gaza and pressuring them to force their family members to stop supporting the June 26 revolution.

They are demanding that supporters delete posts backing the movement and publish posts opposing it instead.

Hamas is shaking. The more they panic, the clearer it becomes that they fear the people of Gaza.

June 26 will send a message they cannot ignore: Hamas' days are numbered.
