@realMaalouf @grok is this accurate?

I hope this graphic helps the people who try to use "longevity" as a criticism of LeBron.
Simply playing for a long time at a mediocre level isn't impressive. Sustaining elite production over an extended period is what separates the all-time greats from everyone else. Longevity only matters in the GOAT conversation when it's paired with greatness.
LeBron hasn't just lasted—he has remained an elite player deep into his career. That's not a knock against his legacy; it's part of the GOAT standard. 🐐👑

Bill Clinton: “I killed myself trying to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. You name it. They turned it down.”

The Palestinians never wanted peace.

This must be shared every single day.

Israel left Gaza in 2005 and gave the land to the Palestinians, and for two decades and millions of dollars, all they did was make rockets, arm themselves, and build terror tunnels to kidnap and murder Jews.

Just imagine what they’d do if they had a state.

A genocide is happening in Gaza, they tell us. Then scroll your feed:

Comma Cafee, just opened in Gaza City. Espresso machines, plated desserts, dim lighting.

Vanilla Café. Upscale, glass facade.

Nova Restaurant in Khan Younis: sleek wood interior, beachfront seating. Named, apparently without irony, after the music festival where 364 Israelis were slaughtered on October 7.

O2 Restaurant. pizza, ice cream, milkshakes, TikTok food porn.

Open-air markets in Gaza City with apples, avocados, oranges, bananas.

Supermarkets stocked for Ramadan with imported goods.

A "Gaza Coffee" brand selling 100% Arabica premium beans, taking online orders, with five-star reviews dated this year.

Even Al Jazeera's writer concedes the cafes "were built with expensive materials, carefully painted, furnished with tables, sofas, and elegant chairs, with glass facades and shining lights."

Now hold that next to actual genocide.

Rwanda, 1994. 800,000 Tutsi murdered in 100 days. ~8,000 per day. Hutu radio read names of neighbors to be hacked apart by morning. No one opened a café.

Cambodia, 1975–79. Khmer Rouge emptied Phnom Penh at gunpoint in 72 hours. Currency abolished. Markets abolished. Eyeglasses got you killed. Two million dead.

The Holocaust. Warsaw Ghetto: 92,000 dead of starvation and disease before the deportations even began. Auschwitz processed 6,000 people a day into smoke. There were no glass-facade espresso bars in Łódź in 1943.

Srebrenica, July 1995. 8,372 men and boys executed in days. No restaurants reopened. They were in mass graves.

Armenia, 1915. Death marches into the Syrian desert. No imported avocados.

The common thread of genocide is that the targeted population is not allowed to exist. Not in cafes, not in markets, not in their homes, not anywhere. The perpetrator's entire project is their absence.

Gaza in 2026, by every honest description, is something else: a brutal war zone, partially destroyed, with a population suffering real hardship and simultaneously a place where new businesses open, beachfront restaurants serve customers, and a post war economy is being written about in business pages. Both things are true.

That is what war looks like. Lebanon 2006. Mosul 2017. Mariupol 2022. Aleppo 2016. Civilians die and life adapts around the destruction.

It is not what genocide looks like.

So why the word?

Because "genocide" is the most powerful word in the post-WWII moral vocabulary. It triggers automatic legal obligations, suspends normal debate, and short-circuits proportionality analysis. Apply it successfully and your adversary loses the right to defend itself before the argument even begins. That is exactly why it is being deployed by a side that started a war on October 7, took hostages, embedded itself in hospitals and schools, and now needs the West to force a ceasefire it could not win on the battlefield.

It is asymmetric warfare with a thesaurus. The rockets failed. The tunnels failed. The word might not.

Coffee in Gaza doesn't prove there is no suffering. It proves there is no genocide. Those are not the same claim and the people conflating them are counting on you not to notice.

China is rewriting the Bible!

The Chinese Communist Party is creating it's own Bible to mislead the world.

As part of Xi Jinping’s “Sinicization of Christianity” campaign, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) plans to ensure Christianity in China is instilled with “core socialist values.”

Pursuant to that effort, the CCP is currently working on its own translation of what it calls the “Chinese Christian Bible.” While it has yet to complete the project, the CCP has already given Christians a glimpse of what the world’s first communist Bible might look like.

In China, the Ten Commandments became nine, then six, then zero.

In 2018, mere months after Xi announced his “Five-Year Plan to Sinicize Christianity,” authorities forced a state-approved church in Henan Province to delete the First Commandment, “You shall have no other gods before Me.”

Later that year, the government changed the curriculum of a Sunday school in Hong Kong, removing not just the first four Commandments, but all references to “the Lord.” The entire book of Genesis was also removed. In 2019, the CCP completed this progression and replaced the Ten Commandments wholesale with Xi Jinping quotes. Within the span of a year, “You shall have no god before me” became “Use Chinese Culture to permeate faith” and “Follow the Party.”

The CCP has also targeted John 8:3-11, among the most famous passages in the New Testament. In the original story, when the Pharisees bring Jesus a woman accused of adultery, he replies, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.” He then forgives the woman.

A textbook published by China’s University of Electronic Science and Technology Press, a government-run school, changes the ending. After the Pharisees leave, Christ tells the woman “I too am a sinner. But if the law could only be executed by men without blemish, the law would be dead.” Jesus then personally stones her to death.

These stories reveal the true face of “Sinicization.” Xi seeks to transform the Gospel into banal communist diktats, where mercy is subsumed by oppressive lawfare and the Party is the only higher power.

The CCP is, of course, avowedly atheist, and essentially deifies former Chairman Mao Zedong, who banned all religion during his reign, from the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949 to his death in 1976.

The CCP views Christians in particular with suspicion, due to perceived Western ties and the role of Christianity in the Taiping Rebellion of the 1850s, in which more than 20 million died.

Xi might similarly desire to ban Christianity, but Xi is not Mao and Xi’s China is not Mao’s China.

When Mao came to power, there were approximately four million Christians living in China. Since Mao’s death and China’s relative relaxation of religious restrictions, the Christian population has exploded. Xi presides over as many as 160 million Christians, though the exact number is opaque as most worship in underground churches to avoid CCP oversight. If Christianity continues to grow at a steady rate, China may be the world’s largest Christian country by 2030.

Despite CCP propaganda glorifying Mao, the Party is not eager to repeat the insanity of the Cultural Revolution, which spanned from 1966 to 1976. That period brought societal turmoil and more than a million deaths. Coupled with the challenge of forcing disbelief on more than 100 million Christians, today’s CCP is likely unable and unwilling to enforce a zero-tolerance religious policy. Instead of suppressing Christianity, it has sought to adapt it to Chinese Communist ideology—developing Christianity into another propaganda mill for the CCP. Grasping Xi’s endgame is crucial to understanding the unique persecution Chinese Christians face.

Where other forms of Christian persecution are marked by bloodshed, such as in Nigeria where Islamist terror groups routinely massacre Christians, China instead seeks to replace God with the Party. This is why, of all Christian teachings, the CCP first sought to remove the first of the Ten Commandments, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”

Incidents such as these are merely the surface of what Xi’s “Sinicization” program entails.

China has instituted a bevy of religious restrictions since 2020, including loyalty tests for clergy, requiring the inclusion of Xi Jinping Thought in seminary curricula, and a total ban on minors participating in religious activity.

Surveillance technology now permeates churches across China, monitoring sermons and building a database of Chinese Christians. Resistance to the implementation of surveillance devices can lead to beatings or disappearances for Christians who wish to maintain a degree of independence from the CCP. Authorities have ripped down thousands of crosses and replaced them with portraits of Xi. Churches that refuse to join China’s state-sponsored religious bodies have been targeted with increasing frequency in large-scale raids in which police lock up hundreds of worshipers.

As the Trump administration increasingly seeks to combat the oppression of Christians worldwide, Washington should mandate that the State Department’s International Religious Freedom process explicitly catalog altered biblical texts, approving committees, state-run publishers, and responsible officials. Those findings should be used to drive rolling Global Magnitsky sanctions and visa bans against those involved in clergy loyalty tests, church raids, and scripture rewriting.

The U.S. is the only country in the world that can bring to bear sufficient pressure on China to slow or even stop its corruption of the Christian faith.

Standing up to Beijing is essential to any policy of defending persecuted Christians.
