This is the most viral of diseases I've ever seen!
Eyal Waldman hired 20 engineers in Gaza, donated $360K to a Gaza hospital, and spent years building partnerships toward between Israeli and Palestinians.
Pro-Palestinian protesters screamed “murderer” at him in Venice this week. His daughter was killed at Nova on October 7.
Hats off to the bold and creative people who conceived of this ad!

“What happened at Glastonbury over the weekend is part of a coordinated, ideological insurgency against the Jewish people. Not just against the Israeli military. Not just against Israel. Not just against Zionism. Against Jews.
Jews are no strangers to accusations of secret plots: banking plots, media plots, world domination. They’re always scheming, according to the people who can’t stop obsessing over them. What’s unfolding now is a real plot not being orchestrated by Jews, but against them. And it’s happening in broad daylight.
It’s called the ‘Free Palestine’ movement. But the branding is a smokescreen. What we’re dealing with is not a grassroots plea for peace, for statehood. It’s Islamism soaked in Maoism, weaponized for the social media era, and sharpened to a point by ideological warriors who’ve read more Foucault than Quran.” —@Ayaan“What happened at Glastonbury over the weekend is part of a coordinated, ideological insurgency against the Jewish people.

Perhaps this will sound hyperbolic to you. But I have been researching and writing about subversive movements for decades, especially movements emanating from the world of political Islam.
What makes this moment uniquely dangerous is the merging of two ideologies that, historically, have operated in very different arenas: Islamism and Maoism.
The former is fueled by absolutist theocracy and tribal vengeance; the latter, by class war and ideological conformity. One invokes the divine; the other pretends to be secular. Both demand submission. Islamism seeks to restore a seventh-century caliphate through bombs, blood, and barbarity. Maoism seeks to flatten all hierarchies under the boot of ‘equity,’ enforced through surveillance, humiliation, and fear. One dreams of paradise after death. The other promises utopia after sufficient political and social purges.”—@Ayaan

I was born in Lebanon and was displaced by the terrorists. I have been an American citizen for a long time now.
I realize that when I speak my mind as a free human being, there will be responses. I can handle that.
However, people who are of the opposite conviction (mostly from the medieval Middle East) always respond with the same modus operandi... Every single time someone disagrees with them, they answer by calling us names like Donkey, Pig, or Dog (حمار، خنزير، كلب hmar, khanzeer, or kaleb) which they intend as big insults. They also call us either 'Zionists' or 'traitors' or 'agents'.
They simply have no logical answer, and they are so pathetically childish.
My feelings are not hurt. Far from it. But seeing so many here in the US chanting "I am Hamas" causes me to see the need to enlighten those who don't know the detailed history of the past 50 years.
Why do we oppose terrorist and don’t agree with their terrorism and savagery?
Here is the long history recap, told from my personal perspective.
I grew up in Lebanon with friends from all faiths: Druze, Muslim, and various Christians. We laughed and played and got along. Lebanon was generally peaceful and safe.
We welcomed the Palestinians as refugees to Lebanon.
The border between Lebanon and Israel was generally quiet compared with other Arab nations. Many Lebanese did not want war. Instead, we desired to live in peace and tranquility. We wanted prosperity, trade, tourism, and banking. The Lebanese used to be known as having joie de vie and some of the most fun people to be around.
Lebanon was referred to as “the Switzerland of the Middle East” for its beauty and its desire to remain peaceful and neutral and a bridge between the east and west.
Lebanon was also called “the Riviera of the Middle East”, "California on the Eastern Mediterranean", and “Green Lebanon” because trees covered the hills and mountains and there was no desert.
Beirut was known as "the Paris of the Middle East". Lebanon's Golden Age was a period characterized by its natural beauty, including snow-capped mountains, warm beaches, and a pristine coastline. Beirut was a glamorous city with luxury hotels, nightclubs, and a vibrant cultural and intellectual life. It was a popular destination for movie stars.
Tourists flocked to Lebanon. They went snow skiing in the morning then drove 2 hours to Beirut to water ski in the Mediterranean the afternoon of the same day. It was on everyone’s bucket list.
Tourists were safe and they had so much fun that they did not want to leave. Many came back year after year.
Over time, the Palestinians created a state-within-a-state and there were areas where they prevented even the Lebanese army from entering. Which country would accept that? Knowing the trouble it will eventually cause, the Lebanese started to become bitter about the situation.
Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser wanted to make Lebanon part of the United Arab Republic, causing a civil war in 1958.
I was in Middle School when the six-day war erupted in June of 1967. School was nearing summer break. We went out for our lunch break and heard that war has started. I saw Israeli fighter jets dog fighting with Syrian jets overhead. the Syrian jets lost.
Because Lebanon is very small, we could catch AM radio stations from the surrounding countries. All the Arab stations repeated the same lie: "Our forces have destroyed the enemy's air force, and we have reached the outskirts of Jerusalem." All lies and propaganda from Radio Egypt, Radio Damascus, and Radio Amman. Same garbage from each station. Propaganda in the news continues to this day. If a radio station does not toe the line, the regime will shut it down.
To hear the truth, we turned to Radio Israel, Voice of America, and the BBC.
Three years later, the PLO started fighting against the King of Jordan. Their headquarters were in Amman, Jordan and even though they were refugees in Jordan, they tried to overthrow King Hussein. The king's forces surrounded them and almost killed every single fighter. The world called for a cease fire and forced King Hussein to relent. That was a major mistake. The same mistake is being repeated these days when the world asks Israel to stop firing. When the world does that, the problem never ends. It only becomes a bigger problem. The world had repeatedly made that mistake in the Middle East.
The PLO relocated to Beirut. They started firing at Israel from Lebanese territory, causing Israel to retaliate against Lebanese territory. Who would blame them for retaliating?
Again, we did not want war. We wanted peace.
Knowing that civil unrest was on the horizon, I went to America to study medicine hoping that by the time I completed my studies, the situation would have calmed down. Little did I know what the future held.
In 1975, the PLO caused the devastating civil war that engulfed Lebanon for 15 years. My parents were displaced and lost everything. So did many families. The toll was horrendous.
The town where I was born was located in the mountains outside Beirut, only about 30 minutes by car. My family could not go there because of the civil war and lost access to our house for over 10 years. Because it was a house owned by Christians, it was hit on more than one occasion while other homes nearby were OK. The roof had a hole in it from artillery shells. It was repaired, yet more shells hit it, sending the message not to return to town.
Our orchards used to have apple trees, peach trees, cherry trees, olive trees, sumac, artichoke, pine trees, mulberry trees, fig trees, and other trees. Not being tended to nor watered, they all died. Even the stones used for terracing our orchard were looted. Thus, our neatly terraced land became a worthless desolate wasteland.
My brother was kidnapped, other friends died. We had an apartment in Christian East Beirut. The area was besieged for a while and there were times when there was no bread. Artillery fired from Muslim west Beirut was so intense at times that even crossing the narrow street to the bomb shelter was incredibly dangerous. My mother developed heart disease and Parkinson's from the stress and fear.
My family were on the run from Beirut to the Metn district, then to the Bekaa, then to Cyprus, then back to various areas in Lebanon. The war had made them nomads.
There were so many other stories that my family endured, but I will omit them for brevity's sake.
The Syrian army entered Lebanon as ‘peacekeepers’ and destroyed Lebanon. For many years, the Syrian army occupied our house in the mountains and used it as their headquarters in the town. To remain warm and acting like uncivilized primitives, they lit fires inside the house on our ornate ceramic-tiled floor in the living room.
In the 1980's, Hezbollah came to existence and wanted Lebanon to be part of the Iranian Islamic caliphate.
Syria occupied Lebanon ruthlessly. Many Lebanese were taken to Syrian jails and tortured. Many never returned.
The war "ended", and all factions were disarmed except Hezbollah. Syria and the Shiites were in control and dictated that. Hezbollah kept getting stronger due to intense backing from Iran. For years, Lebanon remained an occupied country. Syria plundered Lebanon and became rich.
Syria and Iran, using Hezbollah and their own agents, began assassinating any leader who opposed them. They killed Christians and Sunnis alike. In 2005, Bashar Al Assad 'summoned' Prime Minister Rafik Hariri (a Sunni Muslim) to Damascus and 'ordered' him to do something, threatening that if he did not toe the line, Assad would 'break his head'. Hariri did not toe the line and was assassinated in February 2005. Hezbollah were the ones who committed the act.
The cowardly Iranian regime had established Hezbollah as a proxy to fight Israel. In essence, cowardly Iran used Lebanon to fight Israel, causing the destruction of Lebanon while Iranian territory remained safe.
So back to my first thought. The opposition cannot handle the truth. The only thing they can do is call us names.
I have thick skin. We have gone through a lot of trials and tribulations and adversity wreaked upon us by these savage terroristic animals.
Thank you, Israel, for Nasrallah's demise. It may create an opportunity for peace, but only if Lebanese leaders have the courage to seize the moment.
I will repeat what the terrorists and their supporters don’t want to hear: The Iranian Regime, The Syrian Regime, all proxies of Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, ISIS, Al Qaeda, The PLO, Islamic Jihad, PJ, PFLP, Syrian Baathist Party, all the Communist parties, all of these and more have been CANCERS in the World. They oppress their own people and us alike. They are savage animals who are stuck in the seventh century with the mentality of brutal conquests and war.
Call me what you like. I was born a Phoenician, not an Arab. The terrorists took away my county, but God gave me America. I am grateful and I am blessed.
I'm going to have an awesome day, and the terrorists are going to get their rears kicked. Have a good night.
As a Lebanese, this is one of the happiest days in Lebanon’s history.
As a Middle Easterner, this is one of the most transformative days for the Middle East.
As a human being who holds peace before my eyes, this is the most important day for our region.
Nasrallah and Hezbollah have terrorized the Lebanese people since the 1980s. He is responsible for the continuous downfall of Lebanon’s economy and sovereignty. He bears responsibility for countless assassinations of fine Lebanese men and women, solely for opposing his grip on our precious country.
Nasrallah is also responsible for the slaughter of thousands of Syrian children, women, and men, as well as for other atrocities across the Middle East.
Every Lebanese and every decent human being should feel joy at the downfall of one of the greatest evils of our time.
Now, we have a real chance to look forward, ensuring Hezbollah’s weapons are handed over to the Lebanese authorities, and sitting down with Israelis and the West for genuine negotiations on normalization and peace between our countries—Israel and Lebanon.
To all the weak bullies harassing Jewish kids at universities:
Jews fight back.
We've been around over 5,700 years.
And we're not going anywhere.
And to those of you who aren't Jewish & realize it's ridiculous to blame 15 million people for the problems of the world & have our backs.. thank you.
#StopAntisemitismnow
The character and courage on display by @RitchieTorres is so heartening. It is so hard not to go with the tide. So much respect!
So, @RitchieTorres goes to get coffee at convenience store and gets accosted by the pro-Hamas mob. Watch how he handles it though! 🔥 🔥 🔥
It should be illegal for Douglas Murray to be put up against an Al-Jazeera journalist. Another masterclass.
Important to understand that by the time she said this, she knew it was a lie. That's key here. This is not a mistake, this is intentional propaganda on behalf of terrorists holding Americans hostage. From a US senator on the Senate floor.
Brave and thoughtful!
This is going to make the haters really mad:
1) I’m not Jewish. I’m from a Muslim family. My grandfather did namaz 5 times a day. 2) My family came to the UK as refugees and I grew up poor in an urban neighborhood. We were never rich. 3) I’m not right. I’ve been a lifelong leftie whose entire work & career has centered around social justice for 12+ years.
This is my world.
The desperate attempt to delegitimize my perspective—or any divergent Middle Eastern perspectives—simply because it doesn’t conform to the orthodox left’s narrative that is aggressively pushed by removed westerners who do not understand the Middle East is telling of how little dissent is permitted. These western dictators don’t even allow us to hold our own opinions about our lands, histories, stories, or identities—just like the imperialists they’ve always been.
I don’t accept the “popular” narrative peddled by the cult because I’m an independent and studious thinker with lived experience, balance, compassion, understanding of the region, and nuance.
While you’re busy destroying the Middle East with your violence and hatred, just like western imperialists have always done, we keep building bridges for our shared future.
Saying that antisemitism is unacceptable has nothing to do with Muslim hatred. It is sad and disappointing that these two topics have been connected for today’s debate in the European Parliament. How cynical! Because we all know who needs protection today and against whom. It is the Jewish schools, musea and synagogues that are guarded.
And we all know why. But why is it so difficult to say it? To name the reality?
We saw it in the streets here in Europe,
calling to destroy the Jews.
We saw it in the murders in the Jewish museum in Belgium.
We saw it in the celebration of the pogrom in Israel.
We saw it in the pressure for the silence kept by international organisations who ignored the pain of Jewish women.
The reason why they kept silence
is the same reason why whenever you say anything about antisemitism,
they want to add Muslim hatred in the conversation or they say that you are a racist.
It is the reason why so many European countries use taxpayers’ money to sponsor organisations who pretend to fight racism and Islamophobia
but are the tentacles of the Muslim brotherhood, operating here to feed its forces against us in Europe.
Today is Shani Louks birthday.
She was born on February 7th 2001 and killed on October 7th in Israel.
Saying that radical Islam is a threat,
has nothing to do with Muslim hatred.
Saying that antisemitism is unacceptable has nothing to do with Muslim hatred. On the contrary, it has everything to do with human dignity.
#EPlenary
It remains baffling that so much of the world continues to deny the true nature of the evil we are up against.
Undeniable evidence and multiple verified accounts of Hamas brutal rape on October 7th, confirmed by the New York Times:
The first victim she said she saw was a young woman with copper-color hair, blood running down her back, pants pushed down to her knees. One man pulled her by the hair and made her bend over. Another penetrated her, Sapir said, and every time she flinched, he plunged a knife into her back.
She said she then watched another woman “shredded into pieces.” While one terrorist raped her, she said, another pulled out a box cutter and sliced off her breast.
“One continues to rape her, and the other throws her breast to someone else, and they play with it, throw it, and it falls on the road,” Sapir said.
She said the men sliced her face and then the woman fell out of view. Around the same time, she said, she saw three other women raped and terrorists carrying the severed heads of three more women.
Sapir provided photographs of her hiding place and her wounds, and police officials have stood by her testimony and released a video of her, with her face blurred, recounting some of what she saw.
Yura Karol, a 22-year-old security consultant, said he was hiding in the same spot, and he can be seen in one of Sapir’s photos. He and Sapir were part of a group of friends who had met up at the party. In an interview, Mr. Karol said he barely lifted his head to look at the road but he also described seeing a woman raped and killed.

If you haven’t seen this yet, it gets to the guts of what is driving Israel at this moment more effectively than most things we have watched or read. It’s an impossible situation, but ultimately one where self defense must rule the day
After living with #Zionists and carefully examining their lifestyle, here are the top 3 things they suck at:
1. #Apartheid: Shit load of minorities everywhere.
2. #EthnicCleansing: Shit load of minorities everywhere.
3. Parking.
There are reports today, none yet that I’d consider credible, that the author of the soulless comment below has died.
I refrained from weighing in at the time of the post, but now let me say this: His death should not be celebrated.
It is true that his was a life dedicated to the propagation of the most heinous blood libels against the Jewish state and Jewish people.
Yet it is for moments like these that Solomon, King of Israel advised, “Do not rejoice at the downfall of your enemies.”
We are not among those who would make light of the death of another, no matter how vile. Our way is different, and we are better for it.
Well, yeah, but it really depends on the context.
It. Does. Not. Depend. On. The. Context.
