Israel is invaded by thousands of terrorists, murderers, rapists, and the scum of the earth.
The Irish: Free Palestine.
A Sudanese man beheads a white man.
The Irish: we'll burn every house we suspect belongs to a non-white person.
Well done, Ireland. You just demonstrated to the world you're a cesspit of fucking madness and extremism.
In 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus and took possession of 37% of the country, gradually displacing 200,000 Greek Cypriots. There has since been an influx of Turkish settlers from the mainland, with as many as 500,000 Turks displacing the natives. How many times have we heard people talking about illegal Turkish settlers/colonizers ?
Almost never. Most people don’t even know about it.
Francesca Albanese mocked the mother of 22-year-old Carolin Bohl, murdered by Hamas on October 7.
Sonja Bohl-Dencker: “I don't care what she says about me. I care about what she spreads. Claiming that dogs are trained to rape human beings is a sick lie.”

A lot of people ask what’s going on behind the scenes at Open Source.
For the last several months, we’ve been building.
The first step was the website. The next step was building out our own reporting operation. We’re creating a platform that will contain over 1,000,000 data points from our reporting and research. If a story breaks tomorrow, you won’t just see the headline. You’ll be able to see what led up to it, who was involved, related events, timelines, and background. Think of it as our own intelligence wiki.
At the same time, we started building a full scale podcast and studio operation. Hosts, producers, creative directors, camera crews, editors, researchers, graphics teams. Building something like that takes a lot of infrastructure and ended up taking much longer than expected.
So we made a decision.
Instead of launching everything at once, we would focus on the low hanging fruit first.
That led us to 3D animation.
The goal is to create high quality videos that explain complex topics we cover using original research, scripts, proprietary information, 3D rendering, and editing.
We built an animation team of 10 people.
The first video was progressing well, but after reviewing it, we felt good wasn’t good enough.
We found an animator who had worked on one of the largest animation channels on YouTube. We brought him on board, restarted the project, and the quality immediately jumped to where we wanted it.
Last week, the first video was finally completed.
A friend whose company operates hundreds of YouTube channels gave me advice: consistency matters more than almost anything. Whether you publish weekly or monthly, the audience needs a rhythm.
So instead of rushing the release, we’re building several videos first so we can launch properly and maintain a consistent schedule.
Meanwhile, the news operation never stops.
The X feed is powered by a constant flow of information from Persian, Arabic, Hebrew, and English sources, plus people on the ground. Everything has to be filtered, verified, corroborated, translated, written, and published.
I’m incredibly grateful to the verification team, writers, contributors, researchers, sources, and especially my operations lead, @simchabrodsky.
At the same time, we’ve had growing interest from U.S. television networks. For now, I prefer to keep a private life, so Simcha has been doing a fantastic job representing us on air.
Today we’re active on X, Telegram, WhatsApp, our website, and a newsletter that goes out Monday through Thursday.
The next phase of the website is about to launch, a major milestone for us. It will include a live conflict map, original reporting, our intelligence wiki, breaking alerts, and several other tools we’ve been building.
The 3D videos are coming soon.
And there’s one more project in the works that I’ll talk about another time.
We’re busy building.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us and followed along on this journey.
TYH.

BREAKING: UNRWA just fired 70 employees in Gaza over their ties to Hamas, in wake of UN Watch's latest revelations and the investigation by the U.S. Inspector General of USAID.
See our new UNRWA Terror Network map here, identifying 400 culprits: https://t.co/39bbQpruFe
If these baby snatchers are the people you stand with, you have a broken moral compass.
We will never forget what the people of Gaza did on October 7th.
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.
24 hours ago, it was revealed that Hamas is torturing hundreds of Palestinians in hospitals and schools.
Not a word in the media about it.
Not a word from Cenk Uygur.
Not a word from the UN.
