I'm not on X for ratio or my love for Musk.
Then I would've started a cat-video account.
I'm here to inform myself about what I miss in official news channels, & share it with others.
But X has limited my reach.
Only followers can see me.
Since I began monitoring Elon Musk's pet demagogue, not a day has gone by without him posting at least one fabrication.
In the below, Gad Saad claims to be reposting a video of a Muslim immigrant urinating on pork products in a Dutch supermarket.
The video is in fact a 2023 prank video by Dutch creator Danny Derix (stage name "Buurtwacht"). Derix is neither a Muslim nor an immigrant, did not urinate, and the claims made about the video have been debunked by multiple news organisations and indeed by Derix himself.
I've included a link to a Reuters article about the video in the comments.
Either Saad has yet to master the most basic research skills, or he is an exceptionally gullible conspiracy theorist, or he is knowingly posting fabrications on a daily basis. At least one of these statements must be true. His latest book would lead one to conclude all three are valid interpretations.
Saad, who has a unique understanding of Islam and Muslims because he lived in Lebanon until the ripe old age of ten, uses this video to bolster his oft-repeated absurdity that there is no and can be no variation in Islam or distinctions within the faith.
In Saad's fantasy world ISIS is the only authentic version of Islam. More importantly, unless Israel's genocidal apartheid rape regime continues to enjoy unconditional support, the West will be overrun by Islam, Western civilization will collapse, and everyone dies.

IRGC: Strikes on Haifa petrochemical industry.
They also said all energy companies in the region are now legitimate targets. This is a response to Zionist attacks against Iran's petrochemical industry today.
March on
This morning, Israel, backed by the Trump administration, attacked the Karun Mahshahr Petrochemical Complex in Bandar-e-Mashahr, Khuzestan Province, as well as launching strikes on Tehran.
The complex is responsible for approximately 28% of Iran’s petrochemical production and has temporarily been shut down.
Footage shows passengers deplaning from an El Al flight in Tel Aviv which was reportedly cancelled amid incoming missile strikes.
Other incoming flights appear to be circling outside Israeli airspace.
The skies of occupied Palestine are currently closed for business.
Handala this morning:
🚨🚨🚨 Right now, the Kfar Yona Municipality is under Handala’s cyber siege, drowning in a storm of digital paralysis and information chaos.
Service systems, communications, and administration are collapsing one after another; no emergency message, no password can save you now!
In just a few hours, the evidence and full details of this cyber operation will be released for all to witness how a city can be brought to its knees in the blink of an eye.
Why Israel has shut down the two crossings to Gaza and halted humanitarian aid?
Iran said it had struck back in response to the violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon, which was clearly demonstrated by the foreign minister’s Twitter post.
Why Gaza has to be punished by Israel yet again? Why the killings over there are only scaled up? Where’s the international response and uproar to this violation of the truce & disregard of human rights?
I just heard the @BBC radio say that the Israeli army was attacking Hezbollah targets yesterday & they also platformed someone bloviating about how Iran is ‘occupying’ Lebanon.
As a frontline journalist on the ground for the last 18 months, I would like to reiterate that I have not see any Iranian occupation bases in Lebanon. I have not seen any children killed here by Iranian bombs. I haven’t seen the IRGC massacring entire families on a daily basis. The IRGC has not shot at me or killed dozens of my colleagues in targeted attacks. Iran has not been systematically murdering healthcare workers (over 130) in Lebanon.
Israel has violently invaded and occupied Lebanon. The flag flying over the base in Al Khiam is an Israeli flag, not an Iranian flag. (Photo below)
The Lebanese Ministry of Health yesterday reported that 3,613 civilians have been killed and 11,072 have been wounded in Israeli attacks since March 2nd.
🚨 Yemen Strikes Tel Aviv Area, Declares Total Ban on Israeli Shipping in Red Sea
➤ The Yemeni Armed Forces launched a missile barrage targeting what it described as sensitive Israeli targets in the Jaffa area of Tel Aviv, claiming the strikes “achieved their objectives with precision,” according to a statement from the Sana’a-based Saba news agency.
➤ The Yemeni Armed Forces also declared a “complete and total ban” on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, stating that all Israeli movements would be considered “legitimate military targets” from the moment of the announcement.
➤ The statement warned that “escalation will be met with escalation,” with operations set to intensify in coordination the axis of resistance spanning Yemen, Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, and Iraq.
🔴 NEW: Iran FM Spokesperson Baghaei: “No one in the region believes that the Zionist regime (Israel) carries out any action without prior coordination and cooperation with the United States… the consequences of any escalation will also fall on Washington.”
🔸 “The U.S. State Department has explicitly stated that the main reason for imposing this war on Iran was support for the Zionist regime (Israel). That has been the official American position. Furthermore, despite the claims of U.S. officials, we know that CENTCOM is fully coordinating and cooperating with the Zionist regime in both defensive and offensive operations.”
🔸 “The idea that the Zionist regime does not even listen to the United States and acts independently of American wishes, or seeks to humiliate U.S. officials through its actions, is something that can always be debated.”
🔸 “The United States bears responsibility as a party to the April 8 ceasefire understanding. Whatever happens in the region, whether the U.S. itself violates the ceasefire by attacking Iranian commercial ships or targeting southern parts of the country, or whether violations are carried out through the Zionist regime in Lebanon with U.S. complicity, the direct responsibility of the United States is clear, and the consequences of any escalation will also fall on Washington.”

Iran set the objectives: Israel should stop the attacks on the south of Lebanon and the suburb of Beirut, and if Israel continues the attacks or bombs Iran, Tehran will retaliate harshly.
It seems Iran will stop for now and wait for the retaliation, if any.
