The “Nakba” story dies on this primary source leaflet dated April 28, 1948.
The Haifa Workers Council and the Histadrut printed it and told the city’s Arabs not to leave.
“Do not destroy your homes with your own hands ... The gates are open for work, for life, and for peace, for you and your families.”
That week, British police in Haifa had reported the same thing. Jews were trying to keep shops open and to guarantee Arab lives and property. Ben-Gurion sent Golda Meir to say it to Haifa’s Arab residents face-to-face. Tens of thousands of them left anyway.
“Nakba” first named the Arab failure to destroy the Jewish state. Later it was rebranded as a Jewish expulsion order. Look to Haifa and test that theory. There was no order to get out. There was a printed appeal to stay in multiple languages.
The Arab Higher Committee called anyone who remained under Jewish protection a “renegade.” Its chairman, Jamal Husseini, told the Security Council the Arabs “preferred to abandon their homes, their belongings, and everything they possessed in the world and leave the town.”
Most of Haifa’s 62,000 Arab residents walked out. A few thousand stayed. They became citizens of the new state, and today their grandchildren vote in Israel.
The expulsion story requires this page not to exist.
Hamas has now confirmed what the evidence already showed: 16-year-old Suhaib Labad was one of its fighters.
The terror group released an official martyr poster and video showing Labad in combat and identifying him as a member of Hamas’ Gaza Brigade. Yet before that confirmation, he had already been celebrated across Arabic media and social media.
The child soldier was turned into a hero. Hamas just filled in the part of the story many preferred to ignore.

Ms. Rachel continually cites a report alleging Israel targeted children in Gaza, saying it was a UN report. This is a lie. It was a report by a commission that has a history of anti-Israel bias. The UN itself never accepted the report.
I have personally tried many times to correct her on this, and even spoken to her about how harmful it is. Her response was to send me a voice note of herself crying.
Her lies are especially harmful considering how the allegation that Jews kill non-Jewish children goes back centuries and has been used to justify countless murders of Jews.
But she refuses to listen. She pretends to be cute and hand out lollipops, all the while spreading blood libels that endanger Jewish children.
If she cared about children, she would tell the truth, not lies that get Jewish kids killed.
BOMBSHELL lawsuit just dropped: Florida’s state pension fund and another NYT shareholder are suing The New York Times, demanding access to internal records over alleged anti-Israel bias and failures to enforce editorial standards.
According to the filing, a veteran NYT employee raised concerns at least 15 times.
HR allegedly responded - "If you don’t like our values here, maybe you should go find a place whose values align with yours."
The petition also cites 72 admitted errors in eight months of Israel-Hamas coverage, buried complaints, ignored standards and antisemitism training promised in 2019 that was allegedly never implemented.
Wow.
[Anger Warning] Let's tell the story of two men...
On the left is Netanel Shakron, 36 years old.
On the right is Kadri Samara, 37 years old.
On Sunday, Shakron, an Israeli Jew, took some of his six children to ritually bathe in a fresh water spring near his home.
On that same day, Samara, a Palestinian Muslim, took a gun and went to kill Jews.
Both men went to do what they considered sacred. That should get you angry enough.
But, here's the more disturbing news. Samara murdered Shakron as an act of Palestinian terrorism.
His son was right next to his father Netanel when he was murdered. Samara pointed his gun at the child to murder him next, but thank God, an Israeli Jew nearby had a gun, and acting quickly shot Samara before he could murder the child.
Here's some more upsetting facts.
Shakron's widow, Dr. Merav Shakron, is left to raise her kids on her own. Without the generous salary of her husband, who worked in hi-tech.
Samara will enjoy a Palestinian Authority paid stiped SIX TIMES as high as a PA public school teacher. This comes from the Palestinian Authority's "welfare" pay-for-slay program, which pays Palestinian terrorists a monthly stipend based on how many Jews they kill.
Here's some even MORE upsetting facts.
Two weeks ago the British, French, and Canadian governments announced boycotts on Jewish produced goods from the "West Bank." [SIC]. Dr. Shakron, a professor at Ariel University, is subject to those sanctions.
The British, French, and Canadian governments give annual financial aid to the Palestinian Authority. They will be funding the pay-to-slay PA program that pays Kadri Samara for murdering Netanel Shakron.
The widow is sanctioned, the terrorist rewarded.
I'm so sick and tired of this.
Here's what else I'm sick and tired of. Forgive me for writing passionately from the heart, but I'm tired after Yom Kippur and out of patience.
I'm challenged directly multiple times a day by fellow Jews about the exaggerated, and many times, baseless accusations of "widespread" settler violence. [I'm not going to rehash the actual data that shows this is a tiny problem compared to real issues, but anyone honest and willing to do an hour of research will discover how blown out of proportion the settler violence label is.] I have no tolerance for people telling me to address settler violence when they don't even take the time to post, talk about, or even mention Netanel Shakron's murder and the countless other victims of Palestinian terrorism.
Three of my children have been victims of Palestinian terrorism, I lost neighbors on October 7th, my town needs security and armed guards patrolling 24/7 to protect from Palestinian terrorists. None of the Palestinian cities, towns, villages, or hamulas have guards because they don't need to protect themselves from non-existent settler violence.
If you post about settler violence but haven't posted about Netanel Shakron, I have lost respect for you. There are no excuses for only addressing one side.
Everyone posts the same Bill Clinton clip from Camp David in 2000, and I understand why. It is a clean story and it is easy to share. But then the replies start. “You cannot trust Clinton”. “He is American. He is pro-Israel”. “That is not the full picture”.
Well then here is Hosni Mubarak, the former president of Egypt, sitting in Cairo and talking about something most people on here have never even heard of. The Mena House conference in 1977. Years before Clinton, and years before the 2000 summit everyone argues about.
He says they held a conference there and the Palestinians refused to participate. It wasn’t some complicated diplomatic disagreement. They simply would not even come. He says that every time there was an opportunity they wasted it, and that if they had taken the document that was already on the table and actually negotiated over it, the region would not be in the disaster it is in now.
That document, in his account, included the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the West Bank and Gaza. The argument was not even whether Israel would leave. The argument was who would control security during the transitional period. Jordanian and Palestinian forces? Israeli and Palestinian forces? Other Arab forces? He says the Israelis did not mind negotiating those points.
Egypt signed a peace agreement and was insulted for it.
Then he says the line that should bother people more than any American speech. For fifty years they repeatedly said NO.
They said NO After 1948. They said NO After 1967.
He says they will keep saying no until there is nothing left to bargain over.
This is not an Israeli spokesman and it is not the White House. This is an Egyptian president telling you the walkout did not begin in 2000. It was already a habit long before that.
A new peer-reviewed study by @Fifty_Global analyzed 1,378 articles containing the word “Gaza” from CNN, BBC, NYT, The Guardian, WaPo, ABC, Reuters, and AP. The findings are wild:
🔸 Hamas Health Ministry figures appeared in 100% of the outlets’ casualty reporting. Israeli casualty estimates appeared in just 3%.
🔸 Israeli estimates of Hamas fighters killed were almost nonexistent. The New York Times never cited them. CNN and The Guardian did so in roughly 1% of articles. AP and ABC were highest at around 7–8%.
🔸 The Gaza Health Ministry’s headline death toll does not distinguish civilians from combatants. Yet only around 15% of articles actually told readers that.
🔸 AP and the Washington Post did better, noting this limitation in roughly 40–43% of relevant articles.
🔸 The skepticism was also wildly uneven. The BBC questioned Israeli figures in 43% of relevant cases, but Hamas Health Ministry figures in 0%.
🔸 The Washington Post questioned Israeli figures 71% of the time, compared with just 1% for Hamas Health Ministry figures.
We're all well aware of the insane anti-Israel bias in the media. But it's always nice to have empirical evidence backing it up
Britain says E1 would make a future Palestinian state unviable because it would leave a narrow corridor of land. Yet it simultaneously demands that Israel accept borders with similarly narrow dimensions.
If 10 miles is too narrow for Palestinians, why is it acceptable for millions of Israelis?
E1 looks less like the real issue and more like a pretext for discriminatory action against Israel and Jews, writes @jpozmanter at The Honest Word.

British Barrister and International law expert Natasha Hausdorff explains to you exactly what is happening with Israel.
Under International Law there is no “Illegal occupation” by Israel.
None.

BREAKING: The Muslim Brotherhood is using chemical weapons in Sudan.
Qatar, Turkey, and the UK are where the most funding for the Muslim Brotherhood comes from.
Will we see any outrage?
The @nytimes has obtained a dossier indicating that Sudan's army built chlorine bombs and dropped them on its enemies.
The officer running the programme texted that the victims "drank the gas".
Some of the chlorine appears to have come from a water plant stocked by Western aid agencies to fight cholera.
Imagine, for one second, that Israel had done this. The globe would rock on its axis. Emergency sessions, marches, weeping newsreaders, the lot.
But it's the Sudanese Armed Forces. So nobody cares.

54 years ago today, eight Palestinian terrorists from the Black September group forced their way into the quarters of the Israeli Olympic team at the Olympic Summer Games in Munich.
As the terrorists took the athletes captive, they killed Yossef Romano and Moshe Weinberg, who had tried to fight back.
The nine captured Israelis were bound and blindfolded as the terrorists demanded the release of other terrorists from Israeli prisons and a plane to bring them home.
The German police had planned to arrest the terrorists after securing the hostages during an exchange, but botched the rescue mission so horrifically that the remaining 9 athletes were slaughtered as well.
They were David Berger, Ze'ev Friedman, Yossef Gutfreund, Eliezer Halfin, Amitzur Shapira, Kehat Shorr, Mark Slavin, Andrei Spitzer, and Yakov Springer.
May their memories be a blessing.
Hamas became the third Palestinian terrorist organization to confirm that it had used child soldiers in the October 7 war on Tuesday, with the announcement that 16-year-old Hazem Shadi Al-Arini was an operative.
Not only has Western media completely ignored the phenomenon, in mid-August Arabic language media workers expressed support for another alleged Al-Qassam child solider.
Hamas feels comfortable admitting the crime because of the lack of scrutiny it and other terrorist groups have faced -- Why aren't news outlets covering this issue?

ONE HUNDRED Gaza "medical workers" killed in Gaza—doctors, nurses, administrative staff—are confirmed Hamas and Islamic Jihad combatants, mostly commanders, each one profiled below. Gaza's hospitals were military bases. The "Israel targeted healthcare" is now a proven lie.
Flattened? Not exactly.
A Gazan looks out of his plastic covered windows westwards at North Rimal, Gaza City, saying the view is beautiful and wishing everyone a blessed Friday.

What leads man to deny historical facts or other scientific evidence? Why do we still have Holocaust deniers despite a plethora of evidence?
When he arrived with his men at the concentration camps, he had no doubts.
He ordered that as many photographs as possible be taken of the mass graves where bones, clothes, decomposed skeletal bodies were piled up like random pyramids.
Photographs of all the freezing barracks that were used as dormitories, photographs of barbed wire, crematoria, uniforms, caps, control towers, weapons, torture instruments.
Photographs of survivors so close to death that they could speak to them and return them to anyone who looked at them without even having to open their mouths. Without speaking, without words.
Eisenhower demanded that all German residents of nearby towns be taken to concentration camps to see the reality of events and that these civilians be forced to bury the bodies of the dead.
And then he explained: " Let us have as much documentation as possible – whether it be film recordings, photographs, testimonies – because there will come a day when someone will stand up and say that none of this ever happened ."
Because one day someone will come and say that all this never happened: repeat, frame and sanctify this phrase.
What Eisenhower saw when he entered the camps changed him forever. Few accounts capture those moments in full detail, but the records he left behind tell a powerful story about leadership, shock, and the weight of truth.
DSA leader Gustavo Gordillo entered this interview believing he was a new Socialist Star and Political Kingmaker, even having a say in the next US President.
Instead, he embarrassed The DSA, and sent journalists digging into his life story that turned out to be an entirely fabricated story.
Here is each lie from the interview.
He told Martha his family fled Peru because of American imperialism and the imposition of capitalism. They left during the Shining Path years. Maoist communist guerrillas.
His grandfather Manuel Gordillo was already a doctor in the US in and became a Citizen in 1964. Gustavo was born a US citizen. They did not flee American imperialism. They fled communist violence and came to the America, because his grandpa had already made it very comfortably here.
He says his parents had to work at Wendy's and cleaned houses. He leaves out the rest. Dad founded Draftpros, a telecom engineering firm doing tens of millions a year. His parents own a $3.1M house in Boca and another $3M place in Weston. They bought Gustavo a Bed Stuy row house through an LLC for under $1M in 2019. Now worth about $1.5M after they renovated it for another $1M plus for him. This same LLC paid his $2600/month Lower East Side rent before that.
The key thing he presents himself as is a Union Electrician even using the Handle @unionGustavo. This same Union said they terminated him from the apprenticeship in March for prolonged absence from work and classes. He was never even a journeyman and did it just to take some pics in a hard hat and gain a new line for his personality as a "Socialist Union Electrician". Very cool among the comrades to have a working class backstory right now, bonus points for made up persecution.
On Fox he said an immigrant run bodega deserves to go out of business to one of Zohran's government run grocery stores if they can't handle competing with a store using the treasury to offset their costs. He also said landlords have no constitutional right to double-digit returns. Same guy living in the house dad bought under an LLC for him, which is a great way to doge NYC taxes as well.
He made up a very cleverly crafted Immigrant struggle story, that was believed by all his Comrades and even The New York Times caught on to none of it, when they gave him a glowing profile piece.
Like Zohran, who claimed he was "someone from the third world", leaving out the part that his family lived in Uganda for 5 years of his life with armed security in a gated complex with mansion, staff, and a private pool.
They both grew up cushioned from the real world and never had to contribute to it. It's ok to grow up rich, but it's wrong to make up a lie, and fake victimhood complex.
They push the same “America bad” politics, with no gratitude for the country that gave them a more comfortable life than most Americans will ever have, including the people who actually built and maintain it, which they have never been and never will be a part of, no matter how much they play dress up.
In January 2024, the world’s leading famine expert gave Gaza two weeks until catastrophic mass starvation.
Alex de Waal wrote the standard textbook on famine, runs the World Peace Foundation, and helped write starvation crimes into international law. When the media says ‘famine experts warn,’ this is who they mean.
In January 2024, he did an interview with Owen Jones and made a series of predictions/declarations about starvation in Gaza.
0:00 “I’ve not seen anything like this before” in 40 years
0:21 Famine “probably by early February [2024],” nothing like it in 75 years
1:29 Even a ceasefire cannot stop the deaths, “those deaths are on Israel”
2:33 Starvation deaths “will soon exceed those directly from violence”
2:50 “A catastrophe the likes of which we have not seen in my lifetime”

What actually happened:
The IPC’s own Famine Review Committee, June 2024: the famine claims were “not plausible,” and “the available evidence does not indicate that Famine is currently occurring.”

Gaza’s recorded malnutrition death rate in 2025 (74 deaths through late July, per the WHO) works out to roughly the same per-capita rate as the United States, where the CDC counted over 20,000 malnutrition deaths in 2022.
https://t.co/ZEmvKh0axK
After the October 2025 ceasefire, a UNICEF-led survey found 0.5 percent acute child malnutrition in Gaza, one of the lowest rates in the region.

Every single declaration was false at the time.
Every single prediction didn’t happen.
The only thing that collapsed in February 2024 was Alex de Waal’s credibility.
Mark Ruffalo has criticized the Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger. Because of the loss of jobs that might arise? Because of the fear that one media conglomerate shouldn't have that much power?
Of course not. His reason is "because Free Palestine," of course.
Ruffalo shared a video of Oracle's vice chair Safra Catz talking about the company helping Israel with new technology in the immediate aftermath of October 7th.
And the CEO of Paramount-Warner Bros. is the son of the CEO of Oracle, so he's directly responsible for genocide. Obviously.
Is anyone else seeing how crazy this is, or is it just me?
