3 years ago, an "American" Youtube channel pops up attacking me. Odd. America loves Nas Daily.
Today, @EllaTravelsLove investigation shows this channel is based in Qatar.

When will the West wake up.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

I’m Jewish. I have family history that makes what’s happening in NYC right now impossible to ignore. This past week, mobs targeted synagogues in Brooklyn. A child was attacked. This is not politics, this is hatred, in plain sight, and too many people are scrolling past it. I made this video because silence has a cost. History has proven that. “Never Again” is not a slogan. It’s a responsibility. And that responsibility is yours too, whether you’re Jewish or not. Watch this. Share it. Say something. #neveragain

🇮🇷 An unspeakable atrocity has just come to light. The whole world needs to know what is happening under these internet blackouts.

During the January massacre, IRGC demons shot and murdered Saleheh Akbari in front of her husband Ahmad Khodaei, inside their home.

Saleheh was a nurse, and had offered to help injured Iranians fleeing Basiji thugs. For this, their door was kicked down, and she was killed in front of her husband and 8 year old daughter after stepping in to protect him as he was being beaten up.

And from there, the nightmare only got worse.

They confiscated and raped her dead body at the morgue, taking pictures of what they were doing to her. Then they sent the images to her mortified husband, using her own lifeless hand to unlock her phone and call him.

After this, the regime subjected Ahmad to months of endless torment, threatening him to keep his mouth shut and even arresting him for visiting his wife's grave.

Ahmad took his daughter to her grandparents, because she kept asking for her mom and it broke him inside.

The regime began fabricating crimes against him and were planning to torture him for the rest of time. They refused to even let him grieve in peace.

The pain became too much to bear, and Ahmad has according to reports taken his own life, after announcing his intentions.

It has been 47 years of these barbaric atrocities happening every single day.

This is Iran under islamic occupation.

It was never about a nuclear deal or sanctions.

[Efrat Talmon @etalmon]

@GooniesIL @TalZackon @eytanlevit Ditto. Lone soldier also on a scholarship. The people and the program are the real deal.

[Efrat Talmon @etalmon]

@TalZackon @eytanlevit Also biased, but definitely one of the best. People in Zell are hard working, thoughtful, dedicated, and go above and beyond. their inclination to risk taking isnt connected to where they came from. People from all walks of life are accepted, and it's because of who they are.

@RawaneOsmane You're an amazing person. Thank you

[Rawan Osman روان عثمان @RawaneOsmane]

I lost count. This might be my 20th visit to Israel since October 7.

Not to Lebanon, where I grew up, where an economy survives on the support of visitors.
Not to crumbling Damascus, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, which offered me nothing but harassment and a birthplace on my passport.
But to Israel, during the worst war since its establishment.

Because I am a traitor.

I betrayed my friends and family, my educators, and the mainstream in Lebanon, Syria, across the Arab and Muslim worlds, in Europe, and in America.

Unlike the masses who have never set foot in Israel, I know that Israelis are not monsters. They do not seek war, nor do they wage it to conquer land. The accusations of genocide, the blood libels, the conspiracy theories—they are not rooted in reality. They are born of ignorance, and too often, of something darker.

At best, hostile opinions stem from a profound misunderstanding: of this war, of the history of this conflict, of political Islam and its ambitions, of Judaism, and certainly of Zionism.

But how could the average person not be confused?

A relentless campaign of misinformation defames Israel while elevating the Palestinian narrative into a simplistic story of pure victimhood. It is emotionally compelling. It is easy. It requires no deeper inquiry.

And so the question is never asked:

What happens the day after?

Would a Palestinian state focus on building a thriving society, contributing to the region and to the world?
Or would it continue a war against Israel?

History does not leave much room for doubt.

Every attempt at compromise has been met by rejection or violence. And yet, the pressure is always placed on Israel—to concede, to risk, to appease.

Why?

To satisfy crowds who chant slogans they barely understand?
To align with a cause that thrives not on building, but on perpetuating conflict?

Real genocides unfold across the world and are met with indifference. Millions of Kurds still seek a state. Others fight for self-determination without commanding global obsession.

The difference is not the cause.

The difference is the JEW.

The particular fixation on Israel cannot be separated from a much older story—one of projection, distortion, and hatred uniquely reserved for Jews.

I consider myself privileged.

Privileged to have seen through the lies I was taught—the lies you are told.
Privileged to have encountered the reality of a people who built, defended, and sustained a state against relentless hostility.

As a seeker of truth, I was met with warmth, love, and respect.

I have come to admire Israel and the Jewish people to such a degree that the noise—the accusations, the mob, the cowardice—has become irrelevant.

Yes, I am a traitor.

A traitor to narratives built on falsehood.
A traitor to expectations that demand loyalty to lies.
A traitor to a cause that demands endless sacrifice and conformity.
A traitor to a cause to which I owe nothing. On the contrary, it owes me.

I believe not what I was told, but what I see.

I choose truth over belonging because I am free.

If that makes me a traitor, so be it.

I stand, firmly and proudly, with Israel.

Am Yisrael Chai.

I’m a dissident in Iran, connecting right now via @Starlink during the #DigitalBlackOutIran‌.

The vast majority of Iranians vehemently oppose this regime. Thousands of us have already died proving it. Most of those martyrs had active online accounts. Look up their names. You’ll see they all stood for a free Iran and the return of Pahlavi.

Our most common slogans say it all:
"Long live the King"
and
"This is the final battle — Pahlavi will return."

Right now, the Iranian people are staying in their homes because @realDonaldTrump , @netanyahu , and @PahlaviReza himself asked us to until the bombings stop. We are waiting.

We know the price of freedom will be high. But the price of letting this regime survive is far higher.

We have accepted the cost — this war.
The regime’s time is over.

How can you possibly support Israel?

Westerners who adopt the Palestinian cause from a place of distance and comfort struggle to understand people like me; people who come from the Arab world and have walked away from it. Some of us didn’t just walk away. We chose a side.

I am the daughter of a Lebanese mother and a Syrian father.

My mother is a child of the Lebanese Civil War—a war in which militias, backed and fueled in the name of the Palestinian cause, tore Lebanon apart. Lebanese killed Lebanese. A country was destroyed, not to save Lebanon, but to serve a broader ideological project.

My father is Syrian. I grew up watching what regimes and militias did in Syria and Lebanon while constantly hearing that all of it was Israel’s fault.

That was the story.

But it didn’t match reality.

We lived humiliation, corruption, fear. We stood for hours at checkpoints, bribed officials for basic rights, feared prisons where people disappeared. We watched regimes claim to fight for Palestine while crushing their own people without mercy.

And still, we were told to sacrifice more. For Palestine.

At our expense.

So yes, let me be clear:

Do I stand with Israel against those who destroyed our countries in the name of that cause?

Any day. Anytime.

Because I have seen what they did to us.

And when I went to Israel, I saw something I was never supposed to see: a functioning country—a society with rights, accountability, and dignity—something my own region denied us.

That doesn’t mean Israel is perfect.

It means the story I was told was incomplete—and dangerously so.

So when you ask, “How can you possibly support Israel?”

Understand this:

Some of us are not speaking from ideology.

We are speaking from experience. And no, we were not paid or manipulated. We changed our minds when we finally saw the full picture.

[Decado @ItsDecado]

I am 28 years old, and I have lived my entire life suffocating under the Islamic Republic. I am writing this from the streets of Tehran, nearly a month into a war, and let me tell you a truth that the outside world cannot seem to comprehend:

My biggest fear right now is not the missiles.

My paralyzing, everyday terror is walking out my front door and hitting an IRGC checkpoint. It is the sickening knot in my stomach when the people I love step outside, knowing they might get dragged away by these monsters. Nothing is, was, or ever will be worse than this regime. You cannot convince me otherwise.

I am bleeding myself dry. I spend every ounce of my energy and money fighting this digital blackout, buying VPN after VPN just to force a connection through so I can be the voice of my people. And what do I see when I finally get online? Analysts sitting safely abroad telling us, *"You haven't tried all the paths yet!"*

Are you out of your minds?

The last "path" we took, over 40,000 of us didn't come home. On that path, a live bullet flew centimeters past my ear and right past the head of the most precious person in my life. I almost lost my best friend forever on that asphalt. What goddamn path is left to take?

Why do you trample on the spilled blood of my compatriots? Why do you spend your time fighting Crown Prince @PahlaviReza instead of listening to a crushed, bleeding nation?

Last night, I watched his speech. Do you know what I felt?

Relief.

The profound relief of hearing an honorable man echo the exact pain and demands of his people, with more precision than anyone else. And I felt pride. I felt absolute pride in the truth, structure, and beauty of his words.

Do you know how heartbreaking it is that pride is a foreign, alien emotion for an Iranian today? He gave that back to us.

We screamed his name with all our might. 40,000 of our fallen heroes signed his leadership with their own blood.

Stop fighting our choice.
Listen to us.

BREAKING: No worries, our killers are getting killed. They’re all top ranking regime officials and their leaders, plus their offspring.

Did Al Jazeera ever mention the tens of thousands of Iranians genocided by the regime in two days in January?

This is a war between good and evil.

[Kosher @koshercockney]

There it is.

Hamas admits 80% of the casualties in the Gaza War were combatants.

There was no “genocide”

Only the most accurate and targeted war in history.

[RetiredNavyPM @retirednavypm]

People tend to look at Israel in two separate ways when it really needs to be looked at as one.

First is the history. The Jewish people are not just a religion. They are a people tied to a place going back thousands of years. Yes, early on they conquered and established themselves. That is how most nations started if you go back far enough. What matters is what followed. They were conquered, scattered, and pushed out over and over, but they never fully left and never let go of the land. Their identity stayed tied to returning. That is not something invented recently. It has been there the whole time.

Second is the moral framework we already use, whether we admit it or not.

In the United States and Canada, Native tribes were beaten, pushed off land, and reduced. We did not say their identity disappeared or that their connection to land no longer counted. We carved out reservations and reserves. They are not perfect. In many cases they are the result of bad deals and broken promises. But they are based on a simple idea. A people tied to a land over time still has a right to exist on that land as a people.

That same idea shows up in the international framework as well. The UN talks about peoples keeping ties to land, culture, and some form of self governance even after conquest. History is not treated like a reset button.

So this is where things start to get uncomfortable.

If you accept reservations, you have already accepted the core logic behind Zionism whether you like the word or not. A reservation is a protected homeland for a people that was conquered and pushed out. Zionism is the movement of a people that was conquered, scattered, and came back to its homeland. Not identical, but clearly built on the same foundation.

Now, that does not make everything clean or simple. Israel exists in a place where other people were living. That creates real conflict. But reservations were not created in a clean environment either. They came out of conflict, pressure, and overlapping claims. None of this is tidy.

The key point is consistency.

If ancestral land and tribal continuity matter for Native peoples, they do not suddenly stop mattering when the tribe is Jewish.

But that is how people often treat it. A permanent homeland for a historic tribe is justice in Arizona and oppression in Judea. Same principle, different reaction.

So the real question is not whether Jews have any right to a homeland in Israel. By the standards we already use, that part is largely settled. The real question is how that right gets balanced with the rights of the people already there.

That is a harder conversation, but it is at least an honest one.
