Palestinians have less child malnutrition then almost any other land in the Middle East and even parts of Europe - a recently Unicef report found the child malnutrition rate is only a tiny bit worse than the U.K.
Hundreds of trucks of aid go into Gaza every day and Hamas is getting rich by twice skimming off the profits it makes from it (something shopkeepers in Gaza were striking about a few weeks ago).
This idea that aid is being blocked is worse than performative virtue signalling. It’s lies. Dangerous lies.
Today, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for measures to be taken against the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists seeking to infiltrate and undermine our democracies from within.
During yesterday's debate, ECPP MEP @hjaruissen urged Europe not to be naive:
🗣 "The Muslim Brotherhood is trying to gain a foothold everywhere, from politics to education. In doing so, they really want only one thing, and that is the Islamisation of Europe, the introduction of Sharia law and, consequently, the end of democracy. Let us take action."

Socialism always leads to totalitarian oppression and destruction… Millei, president of Argentina who has an economic background (like me) has a clear vision. Wish we would learn this lesson in socialist Netherlands. @JMilei
Very blessed to release the Dutch translation of my book, Mystery Babylon, as a forever-free PDF file. Share it with your Dutch-speaking friends:

Ten things I wish someone had told me before I became a dad
1. Have a vision
You cannot aimlessly raise a son. Decide what kind of man you want him to become and build a plan.
2. Play
Love is spelled T-I-M-E. Enter their world, speak their language, and make core memories before you become a stranger.
3. Read aloud
It builds language, shapes imagination and character, and creates space for deeper conversations about life and faith.
4. Wrestle
Rough-and-tumble play with boys builds emotional regulation, self-control, social competence, and deep attachment.
5. Your kids are your mirror.
They will expose the worst in you. Your biggest sermon is not the one you preach; it is the one you live.
6. Discipleship starts with you
You cannot lead your son into a version of manhood you are not constantly pursuing yourself.
7. Freedom needs boundaries.
Constant commands teach compliance. Clear boundaries create the safety where true freedom flourishes.
8. Protect the canvas
Boundaries should hold space open, not shrink it. Protect the conditions where your child's creativity can thrive.
9. Let them struggle
Stand beside them while they figure things out. True learning lives in the gap between "I don't know how" and "I figured it out."
10. Time flies
For every first, there will be a last. The child who once fit in the crook of your arm will one day walk out the door, and the question you built your vision around finally gets its answer.
A genuine awakening:
A deeper awareness of God's presence,
An increased sensitivity to sin,
A renewed discovery of God's grace,
An elevated confidence in God's Word,
And a resurrected feeling of love.
Real revival is never manufactured, but it is always recognizable.
