@TheSnowDreamer Been having this argument with my mother in law who keeps citing 1976 and saying what’s happened now isn’t anything special and to just enjoy it 🙄

@nicolelampert Working in a university I’ve become accustomed to seeing this type of stuff. They have too much time on their hands to invent things that simply aren’t there

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

Today, Iranian regime hanged him in secret in Shahroud، no warning, no farewell. His family was told to come at 3am to collect his body.

Arvin Kheirkhah was 20 years old. This is his last words to his family:

"Don't let me be forgotten. Don't let the path we walked go silent."

On January 27, 2002, I narrowly avoided being caught in the blast when the first female Palestinian suicide bomber detonated herself in the center of Jerusalem, barely 150 meters from where I was.

She entered Jerusalem in a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance.

So when @SkyNews reports on ambulances being stopped at checkpoints, why doesn't it explain why those checkpoints exist in the first place and why ambulances are sometimes searched?

And while Sky routinely treats IDF statements with skepticism, it expects its audience to accept Palestinian allegations as fact. I can see an ambulance being stopped. I can't see evidence for everything else the report claims.

[Niyak Ghorbani (نیاک) @GhorbaniiNiyak]

Don’t trust the TERRORIST ISLAMIC REPUBLIC AND THEIR ALLIES!

Every day, the terrorist regime executes another Iranian.
Iranian lives matter.
Shut down all of its embassies around the world, expel the regime’s diplomats, and ARM THE IRANIAN PEOPLE !

They will OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT!

I need your help.
In pressing the US for years to get its recalcitrant ally Jordan to deliver my child’s killer to the @FBI for trial in Washington, I have learned there’s nothing positive to say about Jordan.
But Jordan is the junior partner in this monstrous saga. It’s the US and in particular the @StateDept with their worthless lip-service, the crocodile-tears sympathy for the families of the murdered Americans masking the inaction, that bear responsibility for @FBIMostWanted fugitive terrorist #AhlamTamimi remaining free all these years in Jordan.
And not just free but also hugely influential with her own made-in-Jordan TV show that for 5 years trumpeted the values of jihad throughout the Arab world. If you’re unaware of its political culture, Jordan has a notoriously repressive policy of controlling its people’s media. If #AhlamTamimi was permitted to smile into the camera and host one terrorist after another in that Amman TV studio (and she was), that’s because the Royal Hashemite Court wanted it to be.
For years, a procession of American officials have told my wife and me, parents of an American child murdered in the atrocity spearheaded by Tamimi, that their hearts are with us. That they really, really want the indicted killer to be sent to Washington for trial. That justice and the treaty demand it.
And yet the indicted killer remains free: toxic, famous, living openly in Jordan’s capital all these years later. She’s never had to hide.
No one, least of all the savage herself, denies that Tamimi carefully picked the target (a kosher pizzeria filled with children). Or escorted the human bomb to its door. Or gloated about the carnage on camera and in front of crowds of admirers throughout the Arab world.
No one, except certain Jordanian officials, denies Jordan is obliged by treaty to hand the fugitive over to the @FBI. Jordan, lavishly aid-funded by US taxpayers, breaches that treaty.
Scandals don’t usually come as clear-cut as this one does. And official inaction is rarely as brazen and cold as what #MalkiRoth’s family has experienced at the hands of Washington officials and a list of NGOs that claim to stand for the precise opposite of what they have done (mostly nothing) in this startling case.

Please share this post. The Tamimi/Jordan scandal needs to be far better known. We need politicians to act. We need the news industry to enquire and report. It’s time for greater awareness of how US justice is being trampled.
The trampling must stop now.

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

Israel has finally got him...

Abd al-Rahim Abd al-Hay Youssef Kardi, the Palestinian terrorist who also worked as a doctor at a hospital in Gaza, was successfully eliminated by the IDF.

This monster held Romi Gonen hostage and sexually assaulted her during her captivity.

[Boy George @BoyGeorge]

In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.

I will release it!

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

They're not "migrants". Migrants go to an embassy, apply for a visa, wait their turn and then come when they're allowed.

These people are *illegally* entering a European country. Given that Europe has no borders within it, they are effectively entering all of Europe illegally. And from there, since Britain won't enforce our borders either they can come here.

I really hate the language that people sometimes use when discussing these issues but 50 THOUSAND people coming into a country illegally in a day can only be described truthfully with one word: invasion.

These people are invading our countries against our will. If you're someone who is really concerned about the "rise of the far right", you should be calling and actively working for this to be dealt with with extreme urgency. Because if liberals don't police the borders, fascists will.

[Katsy 💙 @katsy_2003]

@BrokenBarnet My mum was in a Jewish care run home. The staff were great but the GP was abysmal. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over him not being interested in her symptoms which were a warning of her being on the way out. Would have appreciated knowing so we could have said goodbye

🚨The Islamic Republic is once again using brutal punishment to silence its critics. Mehdi Nezami is facing the amputation of his right hand because of a tattoo bearing Reza Shah’s signature. No one should be tortured or mutilated for their beliefs or peaceful expression.
The world must not look away. Raise your voice.

[Richard Ferrer @richferrer]

.@HackneyCouncil’s @TheGreenParty mayor @ZoeGarbett has given Haifa the arbitrary date of 7 October to respond to her intention to cancel their 60-year twinning agreement.

Not the 1st or 30th of September. Not the 1st or 31st of October. Not even a Friday. A random Wednesday that happens to be the third anniversary of the massacre of 1,200 Jews.

Maybe Garbett thought nothing of it. Which would be fucking astonishing. Or maybe she did. Which would be pathologically sinister.

Either way, this is the calibre of politician now speaking for Hackney.

[Elica Le Bon الیکا‌ ل بن @elicalebon]

I woke up this morning filled with grief and rage.

Three more protesters were hanged this morning in Iran. Publicly, from cranes, to show the consequences of dissent.

A fourth young woman, Anahita Azarshab, was shot and killed for protesting the hangings.

If you haven’t breathed a word about them, don’t you dare speak up to protest the war on their killers.

[Melanie Phillips @MelanieLatest]

Absolutely barbaric. How can anyone claiming to be civilised not be clamouring for this regime to be brought down?

[Nicole Lampert @nicolelampert]

If I was the Mayor of Haifa, a city which houses the vulnerable Bahai community as well as tens of thousands of Arab Israelis, I think my response to this letter from Hackney Mayor Zoe Garbett would comprise of a string of four letter words.
She has the absolute chutzpah to claim Hackney’s performative politics is about ‘anti-racism’.
Chef’s kiss is that she is demanding a response by October 7 - was that date plucked out of thin air? Gaslighting nasty pricks.

@thepeacepoet99 @SophieDuva73002 Can we please just accept that no two autistic/ADHD people will be the same so you can’t project your experience. My kids are both. One tried 2 different meds and neither worked. Their cousin has seen a huge positive change on medication. I wish mine had the same experience.

[Katsy 💙 @katsy_2003]

In the U.K.: it’s you must suffer, and reach breaking point, then maybe, just maybe you’ll get help in 1-2 years.

Israel: we’ve looked at your kid’s reports. What do you think they need to thrive? Ok, they can have it. We wish your child the best for the future.

[Katsy 💙 @katsy_2003]

@HilzFuld I’m 5 weeks away from making aliyah and already seeing good stuff. My kids have special educational needs and I can’t believe the huge difference between education committees in the uk and Israel. Bet you can guess who comes out better
