@wrong_speak She is a pompous academic idiot and stole the spotlight away from far less privledged atheletes who’ve been working their ass off for years to finally dance on the Olympic stage. She turned all of their work into a joke in the name of white academic bullshit
Yemen is ravaged by civil war, devastating famine, and deadly epidemics. Millions of Yemenis struggle daily for survival. Yet, the only issue Yemenis seem to agree on is the destruction of Israel.
The Houthis have spent millions on deadly drones sent toward Israel since October 7th—millions they could have spent to resolve their own humanitarian crises.
Why these protests against Israel rather than actions to secure food, clean water, and medical care? Instead of mobilizing to save their people, they divert their attention to an external conflict that will not alleviate their pain in any way.
Yemenis should focus their efforts on ending their own war and rebuilding their country, rather than getting lost in sterile hatred. Bombing Tel Aviv and wishing for America's death will certainly not help Yemen.
Israel retaliated to the Houthi attack on its civilians (drone crashing into a building) by targeting Houthi terror facilities, in a combined operation together with the US and UK.
Every country has the obligation to fight back against terrorism. Every country does.
Every word of @BenCaspit :
“Twilight and Biden reflections, in detail:
Glee and insults on the Internet at the expense of the elderly president are nauseating.
True, gratitude has never been our strong suit.
And yet, the dance of insults and scum that erupted here, mainly from a certain direction, at the expense of President Biden, does not testify to him. attests to us.
So I want to take this opportunity, where Biden seems to have finished his job, to thank him.
You were there, Mr. President, in our most difficult moments. When everything fell apart on us. When our very existence seems under clear and immediate threat and danger.
You didn't hesitate, you didn't hesitate, you didn't quibble and you didn't promise.
you came
You took your 81 years and arrived here without delay. Along with you, you brought two mighty fleets with two aircraft carriers, you looked east and north, towards Tehran and Beirut, and you explained to them, so that they would understand, that if they dared to raise a hand against Israel in its difficult hour, they would have to deal with you.
Later, in the face of the great Iranian launch night in which we were bombarded with 330 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and UAVs, you were the one who organized a multi-armed and powerful coalition that intercepted and torpedoed almost everything that was launched at us. You united all sane forces in the region and outside to protect Israel when it was clear that despite our enormous capabilities in the field of interception, we would not be able to stand alone.
Fought to get us $14 billion emergency end to war funding.
You have shipped $7 billion worth of ammunition, equipment and weapons here since October 7th.
Vetoing when necessary. You gave a political umbrella. Military umbrella. emotional umbrella.
You gave one of the most moving and chilling speeches ever given by a foreign leader on our behalf.
Since October 7th you have been putting your best effort into helping us get out of the strait.
Granted, you're probably not entirely on board with the ideology of our extremist government. Itamar Ben-Gvir and you are not on the same page. Smotrich is not on your speed dial. But as you once said to Golda Meir, "You don't have to be Jewish to be a Zionist" and you are a Zionist. Your actions over decades in the Senate testify to you as a dedicated, zealous, consistent and determined supporter of Israel.
You have been working for us since you came to the US Senate, until this very moment.
I apologize, Mr. President, for the certain voices of joy that emanate from us in view of your unconvincing performance in yesterday's confrontation.
Understand us, we are under pressure, we get a little confused sometimes, there are those among us who are convinced that you need us more than we need you.
Besides, most Israelis thank you today from the bottom of their hearts. On your powerful shoulder that arrived at just the right time. About unconditional love. for the firm support. We know you didn't really get along with Bibi, but it's not really that bad. No American president has gotten along with him. There is also no Israeli president who got along with him. By and large, Bibi is not one of those who get along. It's not you, it's him.
So Joe Biden, thank you and sorry. From the heart.”
One reprehensible aspect of the 7/10 massacre was the open glee of the Hamas and Jihad terrorists during acts of butchety and taking murder-selfies.
And the jeering smirks of their supporters in the social media.
Then came the gloating of some Israeli soldiers looting and humiliating the Gazans, and the disgusting glee of some Israelis at pictures of dead Palestinian kids.
Over here, I get plenty of people totally pleased with themselves, and hugely enjoy telling me that I will soon have to “go back to Poland” (!?) and that my people and country are doomed.
There’s no full symmetry. For some reason, genuine friends of Israel on my feed wish the Palestinians well, and are not in the business of jeering.
Bottom line: some human beings get a kick from Schadenfreude, and they range from terrorist psychopaths to social media trolls.
I take courage from the fact that so many others detest this mentality.
One of them, the biblical author of Proverbs, wrote: “Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice.” It’s that simple: be a mentsch.
It’s been a hard day’s night. Our Haifa panel on Israeli messianism included many quotes from lunatics rabbis who treat secular liberals like me as the scum of the earth. And then I returned here to find an assortment of pro-Hamas trolls treating Jews like me as the scum of the earth. Idea for a startup: link up the lunatic rabbis with the antisemitic trolls and go read a good book with a nice cup of tea.

@ElytraMithra First- smoking is not permitted no matter what it is. Second - I think it’s possible to tell the difference insulin and heroin. Third, if someone is exhibiting disruptive behavior I’m fine with a little harassment.
