[The Persian Jewess @persianjewess]

After my parents fled the Islamic Regime in 1979, they found safe haven in Queens, New York.

That’s where I was born. In a tiny apartment in Queens.

My parents had nothing. Not money. Not connections. Not even the ability to speak English.

Unlike Zohran Mamdani, I didn’t go to a fancy private school. I went to a NYC public school that was so crowded there weren’t enough desks for each student. Half the time I sat on the radiator in the back of the room and took notes on my lap.

I rode the MTA bus home, while both my parents worked to put food on the table and rebuild their lives.

And they did rebuild. Because in America, and only in America, capitalism gave them a real chance to start again.

The people supporting Mamdani are just like him. A bunch of entitled rich kids who have no clue how lucky they are, and even less of a clue why they have been conditioned to hate America.

They don’t know what it’s like to buy shoes two sizes too big so you don’t outgrow them before the end of the school year.

To act as the translator for your parents at 6 years old.

To claw your way from having nothing to achieving something.

And today they celebrate, because they’re too dumb or radicalized or both to realize they’re falling for the same Islamist-Marxist lies that caused my parents to flee Iran in the first place.

All to destroy a city that was once a hopeful refuge for millions of people who just wanted a better life.

People like me and my family.

What a sad, sad day.

My heart is absolutely broken for NYC.

As I wrote back in August, enough food aid entered Gaza to feed the entire Palestinian population for 1,312 days, based on the World Food Programme’s metrics.

Now, UNICEF’s own data further proves that the “famine” allegations are nonsense

[Jews Fight Back 🇺🇸🇮🇱 @JewsFightBack]

🚨 BREAKING

University leaders are finally admitting that the tsunami of “Palestine” insanity that swept through college campuses after October 7 wasn’t grassroots. It wasn’t organic. It wasn’t even student-led.

It was imported, coordinated, and scripted by organized foreign networks, including the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Vanderbilt’s chancellor:

"It's more than a social contagion. They’re organized networks."

Syracuse’s chancellor:

“I really believe this came from Iran. There weren’t even many of our own students involved.”

🚨 Avril Haines, the former U.S. Director of National Intelligence, confirmed Iran provided financial support to these “protesters”

🚨 Hostages held in Gaza say their Hamas captors openly bragged about working with their U.S. allies in the media and on college campuses.

🚨 A lawsuit against Columbia students revealed they circulated a Hamas “Day of Resistance Toolkit” one day after the October 7th terrorist invasion. That toolkit praised the bloodshed and told students to keep the “resistance” going.

This wasn’t activism. It was an international jihadist PR campaign. On American soil. Think about that.

[Ahmed Al-Khalidi @khalidi79397]

I often watch how people in the West speak about “ending the occupation.”

They believe we’re asking Israel to leave the West Bank; places like Hebron, Ramallah, Nablus, Bethlehem, or Jenin so we can live freely in our own country beside them.
To them, it sounds fair, peaceful, and reasonable.

But here���s the truth they don’t understand:
When most Palestinians talk about “occupation,” they’re not talking about 1967. They’re talking about 1948.
They mean Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jaffa, Be’er Sheva, Acre, Lod, Ashdod.

Every single part of Israel.

For many, the phrase “end the occupation” doesn’t mean ending control over territories. It means ending Israel’s existence altogether.
And that’s exactly why peace never moves forward.
You can’t build peace when your goal is to erase your neighbor.

[Nazi Hunters @HuntersOfNazis]

85,000 kids under 5 died from intentional starvation in Yemen, yet international organizations refuse to call it famine.

Less than 50 kids under 5 died from starvation in Gaza (according to Hamas), and suddenly everyone call it famine.

They don’t care about starving people, they care about demonizing the Jews.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

I just spoke to my brother, who is in southern Gaza. He was driving back to where he's staying in the evening, when he was surrounded by Hamas's masked gunmen, who raised their weapons at him, asking him for ID & if he had guns on him. He let them search his car and answered all their questions. He works 16-hour days for a major international medical NGO trying to provide services to displaced Gazans who suffer from all kinds of horrendous hardships after 2 years of war. He refused to leave Gaza a year and a half ago when I offered him a chance because he wanted to stay behind and help his people.

Hamas is terrorizing the people of Gaza and acting like a thuggish militia that can kill, maim, torture, and disappear individuals at any moment. These fascists are only there to maintain their grip on power. They will never surrender their dominion over the Strip, necessitating the formation of an international coalition to form a force that can wrest control of the coastal enclave away from Hamas's grip.

Save Gaza from Hamas!

[Kiyah Willis @kiyahwillis]

Where the hell were you when Hamas was executing Gazans? When they broke the "peace deal" by refusing to release the hostages bodies?

Now that Hamas murdered two Israeli soldiers, you want to pretend Israel is the problem for fighting back? Are you delusional, evil, or both?

[John Aziz @aziz0nomics]

One of the biggest problems in the last 2 years has been Westerners uncritically absorbing Hamas propaganda.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

The “Free Palestine” movement paints Hamas as freedom fighters.

Well, freedom doesn’t come from slaughter.

Freedom doesn’t mean kidnapping children.

Freedom doesn’t wear a mask and celebrate murder.

Freedom doesn't keep hostages in captivity for two years.

That’s terror.

[Benjamin Butterworth @benjaminbutter]

Why are those who spent two years demanding a ceasefire silent today?

[Never Again @Never_Again2020]

Hamas are now saying they’ll release the bodies of only 4 of the 28 hostages they murdered. Why? My guess is that they know there’ll be post-mortems, and they don’t want the world to know how these people were killed.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Israeli opposition Leader Yair Lapid:

Those who demonstrated against Israel in London, Rome, Paris, and Columbia University were deceived by propaganda.

Now that the war has stopped, learn the facts: there was no genocide, no intentional starvation in Gaza.

[John Aziz @aziz0nomics]

I was incredibly overjoyed when the ceasefire was announced.

But now I'm concerned. I have a warning for everybody who cares to heed it.

As soon the ceasefire started, Hamas started using violence on their political opponents in Gaza again.

This is totally against the spirit of the peace plan set out by the American government and agreed to by Qatar, UAE, Jordan, Egypt, the PA.

Hamas is supposed to be disarmed, and the leadership is supposed to leave the strip.

Instead, Hamas are clamping down on Palestinians in Gaza.

This illustrates that they are not serious about the agreement. And the scary part is that includes the ending of the war itself.

We already heard from Hamas-aligned "journalists" in the West that there would be no disarmament, an admission that this is all a ruse. So what is going to change?

Hamas rule in Gaza must end, Hamas must disarm. Otherwise we won't get beyond the first phase of the ceasefire. And the nightmare will not be over.

💥 LOUDER: The Head of the UN agency in Gaza admits there was no famine

[Ncole ✡︎ @ncole_r]

Following the ceasefire, TikTok has been flooded with videos from Gaza.

The more I see, the more evident it is to the public: people look healthy, well-fed, and are walking in crowds, celebrating.

If you’re still talking about “genocide” or “starvation,” you’re either blind or just stupid.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

Hamas’s brutality on October 7 was the plan! Newly released documents from Hamas’s underground dungeons include a handwritten memo by Yahya Sinwar, the slain mastermind behind October 7, as reported on by the NYTimes and confirmed by Israeli authorities, reveal a disturbing picture that contradicts Hamas’s claims. The five-page memo (which I've read in Arabic), supposedly written in 2022, outlines Sinwar’s vision for inflicting maximal brutality on Israelis, including civilians, to create a new level of fear and unlock the potential of trauma in “the hearts and minds of the enemy.”

This includes burning down kibbutzim, stepping on necks, stabbings and beheadings, taking hostages, and all the horrific attacks that we saw on October 7. Critically, for Sinwar, all acts of brutality that he highlighted were to be rapidly captured on camera and immediately broadcast to the world to ensure maximal efficacy and to achieve the intended propagandistic outcome that would revitalize and globalize Hamas’s armed resistance narrative. Additionally, he hoped explicitly that the violence would inspire Palestinians in the West Bank and inside Israel to rise and join Hamas in the battle, not to mention the entirety of the Iranian-sponsored “axis of resistance” to help accelerate the vision of the collapse of the Jewish state.

What has been disturbing is that the terror group not only denied committing any atrocities against civilians despite broadcasting their footage to the entire world in real time, but they went on to accuse Palestinian civilians from Gaza of being behind the abuses that took place, alleging their terrorists would not do such horrible acts. Worse, large numbers of Palestinians still don’t believe that such horrendous atrocities took place on October 7, despite overwhelming video evidence of Hamas, not to mention the Western-based pro-Palestine movement, which is worse in denying that any atrocities took place.

As much as Hamas has always been a horrendous terror organization, there was an exceptionally ruthless and barbaric nature to the October 7 massacre, unlike anything before it; October 7 was an entirely different chapter in which Hamas became an ISIS-like entity in its deployment of fear, terror, intimidation, and up close animalistic dehumanization that was truly different in scale and horror.

It is one of the many reasons why I could never, ever be silent after that fateful day, in which my beautiful Gaza and people were shamefully associated with such barbarism. I did not need the NYT or the Israeli military to reveal what the whole world saw with our own eyes - shame on anyone who still refuses to believe that there were any atrocities on that day or that civilians were killed in the supposed “Hannibal directive” or “friendly-fire.”
