So what message does America want to send the world - weakness or strength?
History makes one thing very clear: the US did not become a superpower by stepping back.
The world knows that when someone tries to undermine western order,
America doesn’t fold - it leads💪🇺🇸
In American football 🏈🏈you don’t beat the strongest team in one spectacular play.
You move yard by yard.
You test the defense.
You slowly wear it down.
Eventually you reach the end zone.
That’s exactly how hostile regimes challenge superpowers.
Yesterday we wrote about why what’s happening in Iran matters to the entire free world.
But there’s another part of the story that many seem to miss.
Lange gingen Experten davon aus, dass die Hamas bloss eine Gefahr für Israel darstellt. Jüngste Ermittlungen von Athen bis Berlin zeigen jedoch, dass die Islamisten ihren Terror offenbar auch nach Europa bringen wollen. https://t.co/NBnQ9roLba
The Massie amendment sends a clear signal to the enemies of America that we are willing to abandon our allies and our own security.
I stood against this anti-Israel, pro-terror amendment.
A senior UN official has strongly condemned terror group Hamas for obstructing humanitarian operations in Gaza, intimidating aid workers, and disrupting life-saving food assistance. UN Deputy Special Coordinator Ramiz Alakbarov stated that armed men linked to Hamas forced their way into a food distribution point in northern Gaza and entered a World Food Programme warehouse, where they reportedly assaulted two truck drivers delivering humanitarian supplies. "These incidents are not isolated," Alakbarov warned, calling it "an increasingly dangerous pattern of intimidation, violence and obstruction."
Israel has said this for years. Now the UN is finally saying it too. Free Gaza from Hamas.
@FakeRickStone@StopAntisemites Are you kidding me?
The money that comes to Israel go to slaughter Iranians?
Make sure to educate yourself instead of throwing baseless slogans into the air.
@warcrimewatcher@StopAntisemites What is Hamas's part in the girl's crying in the video?
I was just wondering...
After all, they are the leaders of her people.
Iraq will be leaving OPEC very soon. Iraq is shifting away from Iranian and Islamist influence. The Islamic regime in Iran is part of OPEC and benefits from its current policies, while Iraq does not. Iraq wants to sell more oil to feed its people. OPEC doesn't allow it, while making excuses for Iran.
IRGC-linked accounts are celebrating and claiming responsibility for Senator Lindsey Graham’s death.
The "brief and sudden illness" has already triggered widespread speculation. That vague official statements leave a vacuum that rumors quickly fill.
The public deserves facts rather than rumors.
What happened so suddenly - and why is so little being said?
The Holocaust did not begin with gas chambers.
It began with dehumanization.
Long before Jews were murdered, they were turned into an idea: the hidden enemy, the parasite, the conspirator behind every crisis.
Europe was already full of antisemitism before the war. Economic collapse, humiliation after World War I, fear of communism, and social chaos made people search for scapegoats. The Nazis gave them one.
To Nazi propaganda, Jews were “Judeo-Bolsheviks”. Communists. Capitalists. Globalists. Rootless elites. Somehow responsible for both capitalism and communism, both weakness and domination, both decadence and revolution.
The accusation never had to make sense.
It only had to make Jews seem dangerous enough to remove.
At first, Nazi policy focused on exclusion and expulsion: push Jews out of professions, universities, citizenship, public life, and eventually Europe itself.
But then Germany conquered more territory.
Poland brought millions more Jews under Nazi control. The invasion of the Soviet Union turned propaganda into mass shootings. In Ukraine, Jews were murdered in ravines like Babyn Yar, where more than 33,000 Jews were killed in two days. Local collaborators and auxiliary police helped identify, gather, guard, and murder Jews.
This is how genocide becomes scalable: records, police, railways, bureaucrats, neighbors, and silence.
Norway shows how fast it could happen when the state already knew who the Jews were. Authorities relied on police information, synagogue membership lists, statistical records, property inventories, and “J”-stamped identity cards. Once the decision came, Norwegian police helped arrest Jews for deportation.
Hungary shows another version. For years it had antisemitic laws and was allied with Nazi Germany, but mass deportations accelerated after Germany occupied Hungary in March 1944. In less than two months, about 435,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz, most murdered on arrival. Warnings arrived, including the Vrba-Wetzler report; action came only after hundreds of thousands had already been sent.
And yes, people knew.
The Allies had information by 1942 that Jews were being murdered en masse at Auschwitz. By 1944, the Vrba-Wetzler report gave one of the most detailed eyewitness descriptions of the gas chambers and crematoria. The world did not lack information. It lacked urgency.
Even the Red Cross failed the Jews.
Theresienstadt was staged by the Nazis as a “model ghetto” to deceive outsiders if they didn't bother to look hard enough. In 1944, the International Committee of the Red Cross visited, saw the performance, and issued a favorable report, not even noting an issue with forcing Jews into concentration camps in the first place. Even in April 1945, after other camps were being liberated, it continued to repeat it's erroneous findings.
That failure has an ugly echo today: Jewish civilians - women, children and Holocaust survivors were taken hostage by Hamas, hidden underground, suffered international starvation, sexual abuse and torture, and denied basic humanitarian access - while the same international institutions that speak endlessly about humanitarian law could not even force a visit, while insisting on visits for the armed terrorists who took the hostages.
But "Palestinians" also played an active role during the holocaust - The grand Mufti - Haj Amin al-Husseini was not a mere footnote.
He met Hitler, allied himself with the Nazi project, recruited tens of thousands of Muslim soldiers to the SS, spread Nazi propaganda in the Arab world, opposed Jewish immigration to Palestine, and he repeatedly lobbied Nazi and Axis officials to block Jewish escape routes to Palestine - including transports involving Jewish children.
In 1943, he intervened against proposals to transfer Jews from Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania to Palestine after thousands of Jewish children had managed to reach safety. In 1944, he objected to certificates for 900 Jewish children from Hungary, warning that they might end up in Palestine and urging that, if they had to be removed, they be sent somewhere under “active control”, such as Poland - which, in 1944, meant the machinery of Nazi extermination.
And the world around the Nazis was not innocent.
There were righteous gentiles - brave people who risked everything to hide, smuggle, forge papers, and save Jews.
But there were also governments that collaborated, police forces that obeyed, bureaucrats who made lists, neighbors who informed, and countries that closed their doors.
Even Britain, while fighting Hitler, arrested thousands of German and Austrian “enemy aliens”, including Jewish refugees who had fled the Nazis, and shipped many of them to Australia on the HMT Dunera - alongside actual German and Italian POWs and Nazi sympathizers. Jews who escaped Nazi persecution were treated as enemy aliens together with the very people they had escaped from.
That is the uncomfortable lesson.
The Holocaust was carried out by Nazi Germany.
But it was made easier by a world that had already learned to treat Jews as a problem.
And that is why today’s language matters.
When Jews are again described as the hidden power behind everything - colonialism, capitalism, war, media, money, white supremacy, genocide - we should recognize the pattern.
Societies that blame Jews are usually confessing their own decay.
When Europe tried this before and blamed Jews for capitalism, communism, war, poverty, humiliation, and social collapse.
It did not save Europe.
It made Europe poorer, crueler, and morally disfigured.
Now the same disease is back with updated vocabulary: colonialism, whiteness, genocide, media, money, power.
When Israeli civilians and Jews are treated as legitimate targets, when hostages posters are ripped off poles, when Jewish safety concerns are mocked as propaganda, when terrorist murder is excused as “resistance”, when campuses and streets decide Jews are uniquely guilty - it is 1938, and 1939 comes next.
Stop blaming @elonmusk for your mess in Britain. Blame your politicians. By 2040, the British Parliament will be controlled by Islamist Muslim Brotherhood members, London's charities will be taken over by British jihadist citizens, and England's universities will become proxies of Iran's former Islamic Republic. The Muslim Brotherhood uses your democracy to censor your freedom of speech.
I was digging around a site called Newspaper Finder (wow did I come across a mountain of info). But...I found a pamphlet from January 1946 called "Truth About Palestine." It was written by the Christian Council on Palestine, a group of nearly three thousand mostly Protestant clergy, with a number of Catholics too. Reinhold Niebuhr was the treasurer. Paul Tillich signed it. So did Norman Vincent Peale.
It's a direct, point-by-point rebuttal to three anti-Zionist church statements that had circulated the year before. Some of what's in it lines up almost exactly with arguments still being made today. Here's what stood out:
The Hussein-McMahon correspondence, the letters people cite to claim Britain "twice promised" Palestine to both Arabs and Jews, never mentions Palestine by name. McMahon himself said so on the record in 1922 and again in 1937.
Emir Feisal, who led the Arab delegation at the Paris Peace Conference, signed an agreement with Chaim Weizmann in 1919 recognizing the Balfour Declaration and agreeing to encourage large-scale Jewish immigration. He only backed away from it after the extremist wing of Arab nationalism gained ground.
Lloyd George, who was prime minister when the Balfour Declaration was issued, said flatly that the Cabinet always understood it to mean an eventual Jewish state, not just a cultural or spiritual center. Churchill said the same thing about his own 1922 White Paper.
The Arab population of Palestine doubled between the 1920s and 1945, going from about 600,000 to 1.2 million, largely because Jewish development lowered the death rate and raised wages. That's a strange result if the story is supposed to be Arab displacement.
Out of thousands of Arab families who claimed to have been made landless by Jewish land purchases, British investigators validated 664 total. Land reclamation by Jewish settlers added farmable acreage to the country, it didn't shrink it.
The Mufti of Jerusalem, the most powerful Arab political leader in Palestine at the time, fled the country and helped organize a pro-Nazi coup in Iraq. He later worked directly with Hitler. The church documents being rebutted don't mention this.
A 1945 poll by Elmo Roper found about 80 percent of American Jews supported a Jewish state. The idea that American Jewry was deeply split on Zionism was already a manufactured talking point by 1946.
The official Jewish Commonwealth proposal on the table at the time included full legal equality for non-Jews, universal suffrage, and local control of Muslim and Christian holy sites by their own communities. That's the opposite of the "theocratic, racial state" critics claimed it would be.
Worth reading as a primary source, whichever side of the current argument you're on. It shows how old these exact talking points are, and how they were being argued over inside the Christian church itself, not just between governments.

We aren't witnessing a new debate. We’re watching a rerun of a script written decades ago, only updated for social media. When modern institutions claim to be "unbiased," they’re usually just digging up the same tired myths and convenient silences that were being dismantled before the state of Israel even existed. The fact that the same arguments survive eighty years later proves they aren't meant to shed light—they’re meant to lock us in the dark. - Melissa Steinberg Brodsky

Beni Dadosh was just five years old when his life in Tripoli, Libya, changed forever.
His family, father Yosef, mother Rachel, little brother Moshe, and baby sister Wassina, had lived in the city for generations.
In April 1941, during Shabbat candle-lighting, a bomb hit their home. It was the Germans. Beni’s brother and sister were killed instantly. He and his mother were wounded and fled in a donkey cart, only to watch his mother die in another bombing days later.
Beni survived by hiding with relatives, sometimes rolled up in a mat to escape Nazi searches.
After the war, things did not get better for Libya’s Jews. Riots in 1945 and 1948 destroyed homes and synagogues, and new laws stripped Jews of their rights.
By 1949, Beni and his father had no choice but to leave. Arab countries closed their doors, and Europe offered no refuge. Only Israel opened its gates, and Beni arrived in Jerusalem with nothing but memories and scars.
He grew up to help build some of the city’s most iconic buildings, raising a family and honoring the loved ones he lost.

Leftists and the Muslim Brotherhood are Iran's proxies in the West. The Islamic regime in Iran is right NOW attacking the Muslim Arab country of Jordan for no reason. Not Israel, but Iran. So, zero protests in London or Paris. You see, it was never about life. It was about antisemitism and glorifying terrorism.
Are you kidding me??? This is a sad joke😳
Jackson Hinkle Giving a speech in Iran complaining about a lack of free speech in the U.S.,
while staying in a country that brutally k1lled 40,000 protesters and cuts off the internet including access to X, the very platform through which he is tweeting his propaganda.
I wonder what they would do in Iran to someone who spoke out against the regime the way you do🤔
