From the story:
"Golf course architect Tom Fazio has said Trump told him to protect the trees. The Post noted that the grove doesn't appear in the plans."
Stop making shit up.
Let the record show that @cenkuygur has no fucking clue what he's talking about once again:
1947: The Jews accepted partition. The Arab states rejected it and launched a war.
1967: After surviving another war of annihilation, Israel offered peace. The Arab League responded with the Three No's: no peace, no recognition, no negotiations.
1979: Israel made peace with Egypt, returning the entire Sinai Peninsula.
1994: Israel made peace with Jordan.
2000: Israel accepted Clinton's parameters for a Palestinian state. Arafat walked away and launched the Second Intifada.
2005: Israel withdrew every soldier and every settlement from Gaza. Hamas turned it into a launching pad for October 7.
2008: Olmert offered the Palestinians a state in Gaza, nearly all of the West Bank with land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Abbas walked away.
This nonsense deserves to be addressed, because it's built less on history than on selective qualifiers designed to make every hard fact disappear.
Start with "occupation": after September 2005, there were zero Israeli soldiers, zero settlers, and zero civil administrators inside Gaza. Gazans elected their own legislature in January 2006, and Hamas ran the territory's internal affairs from 2007 onward. The border and airspace restrictions people point to came after rocket fire and weapons smuggling started, not before.
Calling that "occupation" in the everyday sense empties the word of meaning.
Then there's the polling dodge — sure, no poll literally says Palestinians want to "kill all Jews," but that's a strawman nobody serious is arguing. The real number, from PCPSR, the Ramallah-based Palestinian pollster, not an Israeli source, is that over 70% of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza supported Hamas's decision to carry out the October 7 attack, and the overwhelming majority didn't believe it involved atrocities against civilians. That support has persisted through 2025. Debunking a claim nobody made doesn't touch that.
On the greenhouses, the "it's all propaganda" line doesn't survive contact with the AP's own reporting from the ground in September 2005, which documented Palestinian looters stripping the donor-funded greenhouses of irrigation pumps, pipes, and plastic sheeting within days of the handoff. It was a real infrastructure gift, looted by the people it was given to, regardless of how much of it survived structurally.
And on "rejected statehood six times" being a myth.... Peel, UN Partition Plan, Camp David in 2000, Taba in 2001, and the Olmert offer in 2008 were real negotiations with real proposals from real Israeli prime ministers, and in each case, the response was walking away without a counteroffer.
You can debate how generous those offers actually were. You cannot claim they didn't happen.
It seems your approach to history is erasing inconvenient facts, but a foundation of lies won't ever lead to peace.
Little Mehdi loves to use a good story with names and places to seem authentic and credible.
This time he got caught and exposed as the shill he is. Well done @EylonALevy
The whole woke podcast bubble is just ignorant conspiratorial slop. They promote the most obvious lies, nonsensical conspiracies, and open hate to chase clicks while actively making their audiences dumber and subverting reality. And because it’s so incestuous and since they all promote each other, none of them are willing to stand up against obvious lies.
There is no intelligent thought, no valuable information, and no intellectual diversity in that entire bubble. And at some point the willingness to promote obvious evil speaks volumes about them.
People getting their information from Hasan Piker, Anna Kasparian, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens etc. is how Idiocracy becomes reality.
I've stood in Hezbollah tunnels in Southern Lebanon during my research trips. The @IDF has provided numerous videos of major tunnel discoveries in Southern Lebanon just over the past few weeks. Crazy.
"He has an address."
After the North Texas Antifa terrorists received historic prison sentences, their comrades are now threatening to k*ll the federal judges.

The contrast between the left and media’s portrayal of the Supreme Court as some corrupt institution full of bought-off partisans and the reality of diverse opinions and rulings this term is really something.
Now that the Supreme Court has affirmed birthright citizenship as guaranteed by the Constitution, does that mean all the MAGA guys who often tell me I am anti-American & should leave the US should now pack their own bags? I’m more in line with US values than they are, officially!
Yes. They can. That’s the argument. It’s not a gotcha, or a rejoinder; it’s a restatement of the case. It’s also a *confession* that you are incapable of evaluating the branches of government independently of who is running them at any given point.
Just in: Communist activist, Drop Site News publisher, and @ryangrim's boss Nika Soon-Shiong announces that she has been ousted from the board of the Committee to Protect Journalists.
She implies it was because she objected to the organization's review of "journalists" who turned out to be Hamas and PIJ terrorists.
Nika believes terrorists should be considered journalists, as long as they wear a press vest.
Rarely have I seen someone care so little about the integrity of their own profession
For those keeping score: That's the same Supreme Court that, three weeks ago, Jeffries said was a “Trump Court” that was trying to “rig the midterm elections” and needed to be packed. Now it's stopping Trump from rigging the midterms. He's a cynical clown. https://t.co/Tc35kFY49n
In case you had any doubt that people like @susanabulhawa are just demented.
Here she is celebrating car bombs that specifically killed and injured Israeli Arabs (including a 5 year old boy), and were part of a criminal dispute.
Mehdi Hasan must hate Islam.
I never realized it. But I can think of no other explanation for this comment.
He’s coming after Israel for a feature it shares with Jordan Egypt, Lebanon, Iran, Kuwait, Qatar, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia. A feature Israel inherited from the Ottoman Empire.
In other words, he’s coming after the most Muslim thing about us.
He’s also mostly wrong. Israel does have civil marriage, just not conducted domestically. It even has gay marriage with full rights of inheritance, end of life decisions, adoption. Again, you just have to get the actual marriage certificate somewhere else. Until 2014, Israel offered more robust marriage rights to gay couples than America.
Since my wife and I don’t like the state rabbinate, we are civilly married overseas. Israelis often take the short puddle-jumper flight to Cyprus to marry there, and in the waiting room at Larnaca City Hall they meet Lebanese couples doing the same thing for the same reason.
And these laws are far stricter in Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt, and Jordan.
Oh, and in many places — including Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan and Iraq — marriage with very young girls is permitted and takes place routinely. They claim that’s what sharia law demands. Tens of thousands of girls under 15 are married to older men every year in Iran.
So if Mehdi cares about secular or civil marriage, he must be routinely outraged by the failure of the Muslim world in this regard. He must be questioning the wisdom and truth of an Islam that would lead to such benighted, antidemocratic outcomes.
Because otherwise, he’s just pretending to care about marriage as an excuse to hate Jews. And I can’t believe — won’t believe — that that’s what’s happening here.
“No money for schools.” NYC has a $43 billion dollar school system whose funding has gone up as enrollment has gone down. It has the highest per-student expenditure in the nation of up to $40K a year. 28-29% of students test proficient in math and reading (NAEP).
The definition of suicidal empathy. Hamas had such accurate maps and information about the neighboring kibbutzes because Palestinian workers drew them. And they used the information to perpetrate a massacre.
You’re right, I can’t tell you these things because this is all bs. NYC spends $44k per student. America spends massively on healthcare, poverty, etc. And, of course, Israel isn’t committing genocide and the amount of aid money it receives is a rounding error on what we spend on welfare and entitlement programs. This woman panders to the know-nothing populist left, the way the Benny Johnson crowd panders to the know-nothing right. But at least Johnson’s not going to Congress.
