All those Knicks fans arrested last night for going a little too crazy should just tell the judge they were shoplifting & harassing Jews & they’ll be released with no charges.
A horrifying footage of Spanish police brutally attacking flotilla activists. Spain condemned the treatment of flotilla activists by Israeli police, yet now we are seeing the same kind of violence carried out by Spanish police themselves.
This deserves the same outrage.
In 1942, in Nazi-occupied Tunisia—the only Arab country to suffer direct German occupation—a drunken officer bragged at dinner about the Jewish woman he planned to seize from a forced brothel.
He named her.
Across the table sat Khaled Abdul-Wahab, a 31-year-old wealthy Muslim Tunisian who had studied art and architecture in New York, spoke fluent German, and was trusted by the Nazis. They invited him to their tables. He smiled, poured the wine, finished the meal… then raced through the night.
He pounded on the door of the woman’s family at midnight. “Pack nothing. Come now.” He gathered 25 terrified Jews—mothers, fathers, children, cousins—and drove them nearly 20 miles to his family farm. For four agonizing months, he hid them in the olive press, stables, and storage sheds.
He fed them as supplies ran desperately low. He kept crying babies silent. When German soldiers came to count Jews, the hidden families pinned on their yellow stars, stood motionless, then tore them off the moment the danger passed.
One terrifying night, a drunk soldier stumbled upon them and threatened to kill everyone. An 11-year-old girl, hiding under a bed, watched in horror—until Khaled appeared like a guardian angel.
He calmly disarmed the soldier and sent him away.
No one on that farm died.
In May 1943, the British liberated Tunisia. The 25 returned home alive. Khaled went back to his quiet life—painting, raising daughters, serving his country—and never spoke of it again. Not to his wife. Not to his children.
He died in 1997 at 86. His secret died with him.
A decade later, his daughter Faiza sat in a Paris café reading a newspaper. An American historian was describing a Tunisian Arab who had hidden 25 Jews. He named her father. She was 45 years old and hearing the story for the first time. “I rediscovered my father,” she said.
Khaled was nominated to be the first Arab recognized as Righteous Among the Nations—Israel’s highest honor for those who saved Jews. The committee declined.
Today, those 25 souls have hundreds of descendants living in Israel, France, America, and Tunisia. The little girl under the bed grew up, built a family in Paris. None of them would exist if Khaled had looked away that night.
He had everything to lose. He acted anyway. Then he carried the silence for the rest of his life.
The world almost forgot him twice.
Now you know his name: Khaled Abdul-Wahab.
A true hero. A Muslim who stood against evil when it mattered most.

🚨 ISRAELI SUSPECTED RAPIST BREAKS HIS SILENCE ON PIERS MORGAN UNCENSORED
"It was 100% consensual. He was practically begging for it. And he enjoyed every second of it. Said I was better than a goat!"
I have just been made aware that a domestic abuser, Raphi Stein, is a follower of mine on social media.
Raphi has refused to give his wife Adeena a Gett (Jewish bill of divorce), thereby preventing her from remarrying.
Raphi can do so at any moment and is choosing to hold his wife captive instead.
In accordance with Jewish Law, Raphi needs to be totally ostracized from our community.
Don't speak to him, don't allow him into your Synagogue or school, refuse to sell anything to him.
Those who abuse women and children have no role in Jewish life.
Raphi if you're reading this: go fuck yourself.
Just look at what ISRAEL has built to keep Palestinians out! 7 layers of border wall, and they’ll shoot anyone who tries to cross.
… Oh wait.
This isn’t Israel. This is EGYPT. This is the Egypt-Gaza border.
But if we say “Israel,” maybe you’ll care.
