This is Raith Al-Tamimi, an Iraqi living in the UK, saying out loud what many across the Arab world think but can’t openly say.
His perspective on Israel’s wars since October 7 is worth hearing.
Watch this.
I was born in the Middle East. I know how terrorists think because I grew up around the lies that create them. Many generations were indoctrinated to believe Jews are the enemy and that they “occupied Palestinian land,” while the truth was deliberately hidden. Jews have lived on that land for thousands of years. There was never a sovereign Palestinian state, no borders, no president, no government, never. Yes, innocent Palestinians deserve peace, but peace is impossible until they openly disown the Muslim Brotherhood, PLO and Hamas and all other groups.
Whether people like it, love it, agree or disagree, reality doesn’t change: Terrorists do not understand negotiations, ceasefires, or concessions. They see them as weakness. Force and uncompromising deterrence are the only language they understand. From everything I’ve seen and lived through, leaders who confront terrorism head-on are the ones who actually break it, not those who excuse it, fund it, or try to “dialogue” with it.
It’s time for every patriot and every peace-loving person to say this without fear: we stand with Jews, we stand with the innocent, and if you attack Jews for being Jewish, you have declared war on all of us. Silence is complicity. Strength is what stops terrorists.
If you aren't aware of what's going on right now, let me break it down for you. Jews worldwide are being hunted down and killed. It's only day three of Hanukkah, and already we've seen:
1. Jews murdered by a jihadi father-son duo in Australia that seriously wounded many people, including my friend @Ostrov_A (thinking of you, brother).
2. Students at @BrownUniversity were murdered in a class being taught by Rachel Friedberg, a Jewish professor who leads the school's Judaic Studies program.
3. A Jewish professor of nuclear physics at M.I.T. was murdered in his home today.
4. Orthodox Jews in New York were violently assaulted on the subway.
5. Violent Palestinian protestors disrupted a peaceful Hanukkah celebration in Amsterdam. Dozens were arrested after police had to physically surround families celebrating the holiday to protect them.
6. A Jewish family in California had their home hit by gunfire because they had Hanukkah decorations up. One of the criminals shouted, "Free Palestine."
7. An Islamic terrorist attack has been foiled in Poland at a Christmas market.
8. An Islamic terrorist attack has been foiled in Germany at a Christmas market.
9. A Palestinian terrorist attack was foiled in California.
10. France has cancelled its NYE celebrations because of the terrorist threat level.
11. Canada's Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre has said that a terrorist attack in Canada is now "a realistic possibility."
I've been studying terrorism for 20 years, and I've never seen things this bad. The West is under attack – full stop. The question now is, what the hell are we going to do about it?
@SenatorWong Another arsonist returning to the scene of the crime.
Labor and the Greens have done more to spread antisemitism in this country than anyone else.
When you spread hate and lies against the Jewish State, you cause attacks on Jews.
We don't need your weasel words now.
Arab countries citizens are waking up
1. Suddenly we discovered that Gaza, which is inhabited by 2 million people… has 36 hospitals
There are Arab countries with 30 million citizens and do not have this number of hospitals.
2. Suddenly we discovered that Gaza was getting water, electricity, gas, and fuel for free from Israel.
Of course, there is no Arab citizen who does not pay water, electricity and fuel bills.
3. Suddenly we discovered that Gaza was receiving $30 million a month from Qatar alone, and $120 million a month from UNRWA, and $50 million a month from the European Union, and 30 million dollars a month from America.
There are Arab countries drowning in debt and cannot find anyone to help them, even with one million dollars.
4. Suddenly we discovered that Gaza was not besieged, and all goods were entering it, as were foreigners and people of foreign nationalities. Its residents were traveling to Egypt and from there to the rest of the world, and Mr. Fafo is the biggest example.
5. Suddenly we discovered that Gaza was living better than many Arab countries…and its people were living better than many Arab people.
6. Suddenly…we discovered that our minds were besieged by a programmed lie…by the (Muslim) Brotherhood media.”
7. Suddenly we discovered that the children in Gaza are not children as we usually think, but children of terrorists with machine guns and suicide belts who underwent special training by Hamas.
8. Suddenly we discovered that the schools, hospitals, and mosques in Gaza are organized terror headquarters and ammunition warehouses with Hamas’ underground tunnels.
9. Suddenly we discovered that in Gaza there is an underground “metro” of Hamas that stretches for 500 km, which Israel can only envy.
10. Suddenly we discovered that the supposedly doctors and teachers in Gaza turned out to be active Hamas terrorists.
11. Suddenly we discovered that rockets and mortars are kept in children’s rooms in Gaza homes.
12. Suddenly we discovered that Hitler and his book “Mein Kampf” were very popular in Gaza, and its translation into Arabic was in almost every home in Gaza, or a portrait of the author.
13. Suddenly we discovered that Gazans live a life of luxury, with multi-story mansions with swimming pools and premium German cars.
14. Suddenly we discovered that there is no Israeli siege on Gaza because it still borders its Muslim sister Egypt.
15. Suddenly we discovered that most of the “citizens” in Gaza support Hamas and other terrorist groups, elected Hamas in democratic elections, and celebrated the massacre on October 7th.
16. Suddenly we discovered that what is called journalists in Gaza who work for Western media like CNN, AP, Reuters, and others turned out to be Hamas terrorists who participated in the massacre on October 7th.
17. Suddenly we discovered that what is called ‘peace activists’ and ‘workers of international human rights organizations’ of the UN, the Red Cross, and WHO, turned out to be terrorists and corrupt people of Hamas.
18. Suddenly we discovered that each of the leaders of Hamas is a billionaire and richer than President Trump, with a net worth of 4-5 billion dollars each.

Nova Peris, thank you!
Standing together is the only way to stamp out bigotry, antisemitism and perspectives that should have been left in the Middle Ages.

Hamas shot Gali’s dog and then her brother in front of her, then dragged her sobbing by the hair into an underground tunnel in Gaza. They kept her there for 2 months in horrific conditions.
Hamas raped Israeli girls, brutalized their bodies and slaughtered Israeli babies.
Then they gave the hostages a water bottle and forced them to smile and say goodbye, if they don’t want to die.
All along the Red Cross just standing there allowing this insanity and abuse to take place, such disregard to the hostage’s dignity and humanity.
Don’t share the video. Fck Hamas.
