Yes

Did he stab someone ?

[David Collier @mishtal]

Anyone else notice they keep posting images of the jailed Palestine Action terrorists holding pet animals to make them look homely & cuddly.

Far better to post images of them using a sledgehammer to smash the spine of a police officer.

After all - this is why they are in jail.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Comment about Islamophobia is exactly right

People are so easily deceived by wordplay

For example, I am a culturalist, not a racist

One big difference: you can chose your culture but you can't chose your race

[Daniel Sugarman @Daniel_Sugarman]

The number of people coming back with crap like this is staggering.

I guarantee you that in any other context if a man swung a sledgehammer at a woman & caused the sort of injury he did, these people would not be defending him.

The Palestinian cause has rotted people's brains.

[Marika Cobbold @Marikacobbold]

This is Samuel Corner, sledgehammer raised, ready to strike the police woman lying at his feet, arm held out in a vain plea for mercy. Samuel Corner is not a martyr nor a "young activist", he's just a common-or-garden thug.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

The fear is caused by the complete lack of respect for British traditions and values

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Maliq,

This is such rubbish

We don't want Islam to die

We just don't want you taking over

Capisce ?

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

These thugs fractured the spine of Sgt Kate Evans, who spoke in court of the medical and emotional trauma she still lives with.
Prison is where they belong.
Unlike Zack Polanski, I want serious consequences for anyone who attacks police officers risking their lives to protect us.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

If the moderate Muslims spoke out against the radical ones it would help a lot

Why do so few do this ?

Op enkele maanden tijd van 'mannen kunnen zwanger worden' over 'hanen kunnen van het vrouwelijke geslacht zijn' naar 'er bestaan minstens 4 geslachten'.

But again: even if brains came in blue (M) and pink (F), and trans-identifying men had pink ones, they'd still have male bodies, including male strength, *plus* in >90% of cases, a penis, *plus* male propensity to break the law,*plus* in >50% of cases, a sexual interest in women.

Not welcome in female single-sex spaces for the same reasons their blue-brained brothers are banned.

[Helen Joyce @HJoyceGender]

False.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

I think we should also do something about hate behaviour, shouldn't we ?

[Martina Navratilova @Martina]

BINGO

Hello all. A quick update from me.

My sex screen assay is progressing well.

I promised rapid: I can detect SRY from a cheek swab in about 30 minutes. I am currently testing whether I can drop it to 10 minutes without compromising reliability.

I promised cheap: The current cost per assay is about £2. I am currently testing whether I can drop this to below the pound line, and it’s very promising.

I promised accessible: The assay could be run by any grassroots sports coach, school nurse, and my Mum.

I promised on-site: This is where my lab efforts are currently focussed. I’ve always held “from the UK to Uganda” as a principle, and ensuring easy deployment is crucial. I’m currently learning a lot of materials science…

The other main push is setting up various blinded, larger-scale tests. This will require lots of form filling.

If anyone wants to help me hit my final budget target, my crowdfunder is here.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

What about a ban on beheading ?

@mariekehoogwout Voor de acceptatie van homoseksualiteit hoef je het lichaam van een kind niet te veranderen.

Puberty blockers gaan over de afwijzing en onomkeerbare wijzigingen van het kinderlijf.

En toch is het in één wet terechtgekomen. Hoe slecht wil je het juridisch hebben?

[Rawan Osman روان عثمان @RawaneOsmane]

I grew up in a Hezbollah stronghold in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. Israel was not a country in my education. It was a crime. A wound kept open on purpose. Every funeral, every slogan, every sermon pointed in the same direction: there, across the border, is the source of your suffering. Believe it. Repeat it. Pass it on.

I believed it. I repeated it. For years.

Then I moved to France. And I met Jews.

Not the abstraction. Not the enemy. People. Neighbors. Colleagues. And the collision between what I had been taught and what I was seeing in front of me was so violent — so intellectually embarrassing — that I had no honest choice but to start over. To read. To ask. To dismantle, brick by brick, everything I had been given as truth.

What I found on the other side of that dismantling was not just the absence of hatred. It was something I had not expected: admiration.

Let me be precise about what I am defending and what I am not.

I am not defending every Israeli policy. I am not defending any government unconditionally. I am not asking anyone to check their critical faculties at the door.

I am defending what Israel is. What it represents. What it has built, against every conceivable pressure, in a region that has largely failed its own people.

Israel is a democracy in a neighborhood of autocracies. It is a state governed by law in a region where law is routinely weaponized against citizens. It is a country where Arabs sit in parliament, where women lead, where dissent is not a death sentence. It is imperfect — as every democracy is — but it is genuinely, structurally different from everything surrounding it.

That difference is not incidental. It is the point.

The so-called Palestinian cause, as it is prosecuted today, is not a national liberation movement. I say this not to dismiss Palestinian suffering; suffering is real, and real people pay its price. I say it because the infrastructure of the “cause” — its funders, its ideologues, its loudest champions — has never been interested in Palestinian statehood. It has been interested in Jewish elimination.

Look at who built the movement’s international architecture. Look at the 1997 Tehran OIC summit, where the language of “apartheid” was first systematically attached to Israel, not by Palestinians, but by the Iranian regime, for export. Look at Durban. Look at who profits when the conflict continues and who loses when it resolves. The answer is never the Palestinian family in Gaza. The answer is always the regime, the militia, the ideological infrastructure that needs the wound open.

The Palestinian cause, as it functions on the world stage today, is a tool of an anti-western civilizational project. Its goal is not a state alongside Israel. Its goal is a world without Israel, and, by extension, a world where the values Israel represents are defeated. Liberal democracy. Jewish self-determination. The idea that a small people can survive, build, and insist on their own dignity against the will of those who would erase them.

When western progressives march under that banner, they are not marching for freedom. They are marching for the annihilation of the only thing in the Middle East that resembles what they claim to value.

I came to Judaism slowly, the way you come to something true, not in a rush, but in accumulation.

It was not the politics that moved me first. It was the texts. The insistence, running through thousands of years of Jewish thought, that the human being is created in the image of G-d, and that this is not a metaphor but an obligation. An obligation to see the other. To argue. To question. To hold power accountable, including your own.

I had grown up in a culture where the highest virtue was submission. To the leader, the militia, the narrative. Judaism confronted me with the opposite proposition…
