Hi

[Raylan Givens @JewishWarrior13]

⭕️ Let’s clarify what happened in the last 24 hours. After Trump announced that a deal had been reached and that the signing would take place today, Iranian media denied the claim, stating that the deal had not yet been approved. Iran needed to buy more time and expand its list of blackmail demands, so they ordered Hezbollah to strike Israel, knowing that Israel would respond and Trump would become frustrated—thus providing an “excuse” for the signing not to happen today. To be clear, Iran had already stated several times BEFORE the IDF strikes this morning that the deal was not yet approved. They needed a pretext to delay further and to test how much Trump wants this agreement. I believe they achieved their goal.

@CliffordAsness They were ahead 72% of the series and still lost in five. Not sure that’s the flex he thinks it is. It’s embarrassing. Wemby has most every finals he played in (Europe/olympics/nba)This approach is why.

Josh Safdie directed this.

So perfect.

Jalen Brunson scored 29 points in the second half of Game 5 last night

That’s the MOST POINTS scored in the second half of any NBA Finals game played in the NBA’s modern era.

Brunson did it in a Finals-clinching win on the road to break a 53-year title drought for the Knicks

[Darren Rovell @darrenrovell]

Former Knicks coach Red Holzman won 613 games. The Knicks just won their first title on 6-13.

Kurt Russell didn’t just audition for Han Solo. His STAR WARS screen test still exists, and watching it now feels like peeking into an alternate timeline. It’s easy to see why George Lucas kept bringing Russell in to read for major roles throughout 70s.

@JohnBurkett2 @kevinxu Exactly

[karnuba @karnuba]

@mcuban There should be 6 refs per game

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

There is a country in the Middle East that has killed

- Over 600,000 people in Syria 🇸🇾
- 150,000-200,000 people in Yemen 🇾🇪
- 603 U.S. troops and 600 protesters in Iraq 🇮🇶
- thousands of people in Lebanon 🇱🇧
- hundreds of people across gulf countries 🇸🇦🇰🇼🇶🇦🇧🇭
- Over 1500 Americans 🇺🇸 through its proxies.
- 176 people in Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752
- over 100,000 Iranians.

It’s not Israel, it’s Iran where the Islamic fascist regime did this.

1/ Pop culture quiz.
Luke Skywalker blew up the Death Star with over a million people aboard. Did you walk out of the cinema asking whether the Rebellion were terrorists?

No. You knew who built the superweapon. Context told you exactly who to blame.

Hold that thought. 🧵

I come back to this speech every once in a while:

“in the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches

… what percentage of points do you think I won in those matches?

only 54%.”

Según la izquierda, los judíos que nacieron en Israel no tienen el derecho de vivir en Israel porque unos musulmanes vivieron ahí el siglo pasado, pero los musulmanes que entran ilegalmente a España a diario si hay que legalizarles y darles el IMV ya. ¿Me lo explicas?

[MOT @nachal_giyus86]

Arabs rejected partition because Jews only owned 6% of the land- one of the most repeated slogans and lies online. Here is what it leaves out.
Yes, Jews privately owned roughly 6 to 8% of the land by 1947.

But Arabs did not own the other 92%.

That's the part that activists conveniently skip. Was the largest category of land was: state land. Not “Palestinian owned land”,

Actual British mandate breakdown ( 1945- 1947 ):
Arab private ownership approximately 47% Jewish ownership approximately 6 to 8% state slash crown land approximately 40 to 45%

Mostly:
· Negev desert
· Uncultivated land next slide government land

The map spammed on Instagram pretending green equals privately Palestinian owned land is historically false.

Now here's the part that breaks the slogan completely: next slide the proposed Jewish state received approximately 56% of the territory.

Sounds shocking...
... Until you realize most of it was empty desert.
The Negev alone made-up a huge chunk of the allocation:

· Sparsely populated
· Underdeveloped
· Mostly state owned land

People talk about it like Tel Aviv was handed millions of acres of Arab farmland
It wasn't.

Even inside the proposed Jewish state, most of the land was:
· State land
· Desert
· Or land already legally purchased by jews

Privately owned Arab land inside the proposed Jewish state is estimated at roughly 15 to 20% of that territory.
Not “they stole 94% of Palestinian land that”

That's propaganda

Not history

And here's the uncomfortable question nobody wants to answer, if the issue really was “fairness”...

Why reject:

· Two states?
· International borders?
· UN recognition?
· Negotiation?
· Why launch a war instead?

Because many Arab leaders openly said the real issue was not borders. It was the existence of any Jewish state at all.

Ownership slogan survives because most people never look past the meme. But history is stubborn. The partition plan did not hand Jews:

· Most privately owned Arab farmland
· 92% of Palestinian land
· A fully developed Arab country

The partition plan mostly allocated:
· State land
· Desert
· And territory for a second state alongside an Arab one

The tragedy is not that partition existed tragedy is that it was rejected. #StopTheLies #Antisemitism #Israel #FactsMatter #StandWithIsrael #DoubleStandards #Hypocrisy
