私も以前、有名な教授から、イスラエル関連でとても感情的な反応を受けたことがあります。
異なる意見を持つこと自体は問題ないですが、その表し方が余りにも幼く、呆れました。

[Julian Adrat @JulianAdrat]

In der ersten Plenarsitzung des Berliner Abgeordnetenhauses berichtet Bürgermeister Kai Wegner davon, wie er nach dem Überfall auf Israel am 7. Okt. 23 in der israelischen Botschaft Augenzeuge der Webcam-Aufnahmen der Hamas-Terroristen wurde: wie Frauen gequält und auf bestialische Weise abgeschlachtet wurden, „ich habe gesehen, wie Babys getötet wurden, wie Familien hingeschlachtet wurden, auf bestialischste Weise. Nichts, aber auch GAR NICHTS rechtfertigt die Taten der Hamas“, sagt der Bürgermeister Kai Wegner. In der Linken: Vereinzelt Kopfschütteln. Wo sie sonst für Save-Spaces plädieren, wer mit dem falschen Pronomen angesprochen wird. Es ist für alle ersichtlich, die Presse kann das live von der Bühne mitverfolgen, wie tief blanker Judenhass in der Linksfraktion sitzt: Gründe und SPD planen, mit diesen Leuten die bundesdeutsche Hauptstadt zu regieren. Alle Beteuerungen sind Floskeln. Unerträglich.

MUST WATCH.

Tucker Carlson, who ran a full page "special feature" hit piece on me today on his site, but won't debate me, signed off yesterday's show with this equally grotesque, antisemitic, and maniacal rant:

"The people who would like to change the population of Gaza would very much like to change the population of the United States. And they are."

Say who you mean, Tucker. And, also, WHAT?

BREAKING: U.K. “Strongly Regrets” Election of Iran to U.N. Committee
@LordIanAustin: “Australia and Canada have both confirmed that they voted against Iran yesterday. So can the minister tell us: Why did we not do more to oppose the nomination in April? And will she confirm on the record that we voted against yesterday? And if not, what message does she think this sends to the Jewish community in the UK, our allies in Israel, and brave Iranians who are risking their lives to campaign for freedom and democracy?”

🇬🇧 @FCDOGovUK: “We don't comment on how we vote. But I think I've made very clear that we strongly regret that Iran was elected to the UN Committee for Programme and Coordination.”

[Kareem Rifai 🌐 @KareemRifai]

Did a double take: this is Rania Khalek, Russian state media employee turned Chinese propagandist, screaming, "stop justifying bombing my country."

Fascinating, considering Khalek's job for several years was to justify Bashar al-Assad and Russia bombing and gassing civilians.

It takes astonishing gall for Bridget Phillipson to lecture anyone on financial integrity and political sleaze.

This is the very same Cabinet minister who had her lavish 40th birthday bash funded by a £14,000 cash handout from Lord Alli, happily pocketed VIP concert freebies, and defended it on national television while Starmer was quietly trying to repay his.

Labour spent years moralising from opposition, only to walk into government and immediately hand party mega-donors unrestricted Downing Street passes in exchange for designer suits, penthouse holidays, and luxury events.

While she wages ideological class warfare on working parents by taxing education, and ignores tens of millions in squandered public funds right across the country, she spends her afternoon running PR deflection on X.

Bridget, before you preach about donors and ethics, remind the electorate who picked up the tab for your birthday party.

“Targeting the Nasser Hospital”

Not targeting Hamas leaders committing the war crime of using hospitals as cover, you wouldn’t say?

Shameful reporting. Hamas’s account given primacy, every single time.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Doctors Without Borders has announced the suspension of some operations at one of Gaza ‘s largest functioning hospitals after patients and staff reported seeing armed, masked men roaming parts of the building.

😂😅😂 J’ai regardé le compte de Marcel après les révélations de Sword. Il expérimente aujourd’hui ce que nous, qui publions sous notre véritable identité, subissons depuis des années à cause d’influenceurs anonymes. En mode ouin-ouin, car il n’a plus sa carapace. Quand les personnes ont un profil anonyme, j’imagine qu’un sentiment de surpuissance et d’impunité s’empare d’elles. Moi, j’ai juste été insultée et menacée à cause du fait que j’ai dessiné des victimes du 7 octobre. Je tiens donc à accueillir Marcel dans mon monde.

Les raids numériques sur X ont commencé pour moi en octobre 2023. Au début, je bloquais uniquement les comptes qui m’attaquaient. Puis, par mesure de protection supplémentaire, j’ai également bloqué les comptes liés à ceux des personnes qui me menaçaient. C’est ainsi que j’ai constaté que tous les comptes qui me menaçaient étaient connectés à Marcel.

Aujourd’hui, plus de 67 000 comptes bloqués ! Marcel sait que j’existe puisqu’il m’a bloquée aussi ! 😂 Fair enough !

Before October 7, Egypt used its border to smuggle weapons to Gaza.

After October 7, Egypt used its border to keep Gazans in danger, sealing it and preventing any refugees entering.

Does @LewisHamilton know this? Or did he get used like a tool?

*++ Governo chiede 18 milioni di euro di danni a imputati per fondi ad Hamas ++*
Dal pm richiesta di rinvio a giudizio per #Hannoun e altri cinque
(ANSA) - GENOVA, 12 NOV - Diciotto milioni e mezzo di euro
per danno all'immagine davanti alla comunità internazionale e
per il superlavoro a cui sono stati sottoposti la Digos e
l'antiterrorismo che hanno condotto l'inchiesta. E' quanto
chiedono come risarcimento la presidenza del Consiglio dei
ministri e il ministero dell'Interno all'attivista palestinese
#MohammadHannoun e agli altri 5 imputati per i presunti fondi ad #Hamas. Il governo italiano questa mattina davanti alla gup
Carla Pastorini ha chiesto e ottenuto di costituirsi parte
civile nel processo. Non pervenuto invece lo Stato di Israele,
anch'esso citato come parte offesa. Il pm ha chiesto il rinvio a
giudizio per tutti e sei gli imputati. (ANSA).

[Stephen Pollard @stephenpollard]

This is a vital interview with Walzer. It seems @NewYorker deliberately distorted his views so he would be seen as damning Israel, when he actually believes the Gaza war is a just war and that the accusation of genocide is wrong.

[Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian @manniefabian]

The commander of Hamas's Khan Younis Brigade, who was targeted in a strike at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza's Khan Younis overnight, was responsible for holding hostages in Hamas captivity during the war, including inside the medical center where he was struck, the military says.

The fate of the Hamas commander, Muhammad Abu Ismail, remains unclear as the IDF and Shin Bet assess the results of the strike.

In a statement, the military says that Abu Ismail took charge of the Khan Younis Brigade following the killing of its previous commander, Muhammad al-Yazouri, in September.

The IDF says that Nasser Hospital, like other medical facilities in the Strip, is used by Hamas. The military says the second floor of Nasser Hospital "serves as a Hamas military headquarters, where civilians are not permitted to enter and which is under strict guard, as it is used by the organization's commanders," including Abu Ismail.

"Throughout the war, dozens of hostages were held at Nasser Hospital, many of them from Kibbutz Nahal Oz, including women, children, elderly people and foreign nationals," the IDF says.

Former hostages have also previously confirmed being held at Nasser Hospital.

The military says that Abu Ismail had been responsible for holding hostages Sgt. 1st Class Nimrod Cohen, Sgt. 1st Class Idan Alexander, Matan Zangauker, Avera Mengistu, and the bodies of Col. Asaf Hamami, Staff Sgt. Oz Daniel, and Cpt. Omer Neutra.

Alongside Abu Ismail, several other Hamas operatives were targeted in the strike on the hospital. The military says they include Muawad Tawfiq Mahmoud Abu Zarifa, an engineering team commander in a Hamas combat and administrative support company, and Khaled Osama Abu Anza, head of communications in the operations department of Hamas's intelligence arm.

Every American needs to read the Muslim Brotherhood’s entire 100-year plan.

We are already 50 years in, and their success so far should be a serious wake-up call.

Ignoring the warning signs today could have irreversible.
consequences tomorrow.

Gal Gadot, in tears at the Simon Wiesenthal Center dinner: "I am frightened by how quickly hatred of Jews is spreading."

Then she named the part that matters. How openly it is "expressed and accepted."

Expressed was always going to happen. Accepted is a choice.

Who's accepting it where you work, where you study, in your feed?

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Here is @EmmanuelMacron ranting and moaning that there is no US support for Ukraine anymore. He claims it’s only from Europe and Canada and that only Europe will decide their own security and destiny.

And I have to admit it’s so weird hearing any European leader talk about deciding Europe’s security while they’ve ALL allowed their sovereignty and security to be decimated by millions of illegal immigrants. It’s the ultimate oxymoron. Europe has destroyed their own security far more than Russia ever could. But like typical leftists and pro Palestinians, it’s easier for them to live in a delusional fantasy and just blame everyone else for it.

[Nizard isabelle @Nizardisabelle]

Pathétique @jnbarrot , qui vole au secours de @JLMelenchon et de @MathildePanot , auxquels Israël 🇮🇱 refuse l’entrée sur son territoire. Encore faudrait-il savoir si ces deux tristes personnages avaient réellement envisagé de s’y rendre !

Il est pour le moins étonnant que ce même Barrot, qui a refusé la semaine dernière l’entrée sur le territoire français à Yossi Dagan, ne figure pas lui-même sur la liste des indésirables en Israël. Lui qui, depuis des mois, multiplie les déclarations, les condamnations et les initiatives ouvertement hostiles à l’État hébreu.

Au concours Lépine de la démagogie anti-israélienne, Jean-Noël Barrot décroche sans conteste une place de choix. Il faut dire qu’il ne ménage ni ses efforts ni les occasions de multiplier les prises de position à charge contre Israël.

Lui qui se « réjouit » de voir le gouvernement Netanyahu réduit à expédier les affaires courantes oublie simplement un détail : dans six mois, c’est lui-même qui retournera aux oubliettes de la vie politique française.

Finalement, Israël aurait tort d’interdire son territoire à l’ensemble de LFI. Il serait même plutôt opportun d’y accueillir un certain @Portes_Thomas , histoire qu’il s’explique sur sa présence à Gaza le 6 octobre 2023.
