Being right is something we all want to be, but sometimes we seek it more than the outcomes that will improve our lives. There must be a path in the middle.

Hamas's "analyst" went on the group's favorite channel, Al Jazeera Arabic, to declare that Israel's pending invasion of Gaza City will unleash the "mother of all battles" in which Israel will lose an unbelievably high number of soldiers, doubting if it can sustain a battle for 3-4 months. It's as if Hamas is goading Israel into invading Gaza, destroying the City, killing as many civilians as possible, and generating unimaginable scenes of horror and destruction that the terror group hopes will somehow pressure Israel into stopping the war.

This is why all civilians must be evacuated from Gaza to rob Hamas of the ability to use Palestinians as shields - something that even a child in Gaza understands at this point to be Hamas's ultimate warfighting strategy.

Where are the headlines? This mother in Iran is about to be hanged and I really feel helpless seeing silence from the big names, the anti-war activists in the West, the feminist leaders, the so-called free world leaders.
Her only “crime”? Fighting for freedom and dignity for her son and a better future. The regime wants to kill her for wanting justice. And the world looks away.

Why are the global justice and feminist movements silent? Where are the protests?
This is not about politics. This is about basic humanity. What does it mean for justice, when those who once marched against oppression turn their eyes away from a woman who seeks nothing but fairness and humanity?

This execution is not only her death sentence, it is a test of our collective humanity.

@SartorialShootr The UAE’s FM on radical Islam in Europe, warning Europe to learn from their example.

It seems to me every ideology can cause problems, whilst sitting on an educational pedestal won’t address them and makes your post part of the issue.

@mrjamesob It would seem to me that ignoring the concerns of much of the population is just as powerful a way to promote the current issues we face as the drip feeding of these headlines. You don’t seem to ignore those holding those concerns, you demonise them too. Sad times.

Such a shame to see this post from Piers.

Can it not both be true that a grown up discussion about the impact of DSD on athletes need to be had without being rude and marginalising a person who had not choice but to have the condition? Can we not have an adult conversation?

@GillianLazarus Deeply saddening, whilst being expected.

[Lookingforthemiddle @looking4tmiddle]

There were two intifadas, the second as a result of political failures to achieve peace leading to the casualties listed below. A disaster for everyone. In a demonstration against racism children have been groomed to call for intifada on the streets of London.

Hi there @SusanSarandon, this is my mom, my dad and me on the rail trail in Morgantown, West by God Virginia. Let me tell you what it means to be Muslim in America.

First, your backstory: At an anti-Israel protest in NYC, you just said, "There are a lot of people that are afraid, that are afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.”

Let me give you “a taste” of what it “feels like” to be a Muslim in America:

✅🇺🇸 My dad didn’t have to become a second-class indentured servant to one of the many tyrants of Muslim countries that use immigrants from India, like my family, as essential slaves. In 1975, after getting his PhD at Rutgers, he was about to go to Libya — a Muslim country — led by a Muslim, Moammar Qhadafi, to work like a servant with a PhD for a wealthy dictator…but then the phone rang one day and I picked it up…

✅🇺🇸 It was West Virginia University calling, and my dad got a job as an assistant professor of nutrition. He got rejected first for tenure but being Muslim in America meant he got a right like everybody got — his right to appeal and guess what? He won and he became a full professor. That’s what it means to be Muslim in America. You get your full rights, like @DrZuhdiJasser has wished for his family in the Muslim nation of Syria, where a Muslim dictator destroys the lives of Muslims.

✅🇺🇸 My mom? Being Muslim in America meant she got to live FREE with the wind in her hair, like @AlinejadMasih fights for women in the Muslim nation of Iran to be able to enjoy.

✅🇺🇸 And what did living free mean for my mom as a Muslim in America? It meant in 1981 she got to start a business on High Street in downtown Morgantown, called Ain’s International. That is something that @miss9afi wished women could have had the right to do in the Muslim nation of Saudi Arabia. But guess what? That entrepreneurship and financial independence is denied Muslim women in so many Muslim countries.

✅🇺🇸 That summer my mom started her business, I got on a plane at Pittsburgh airport for Tahlequah, Oklahama, and I went away from home at 16 for a National Science Foundation camp — without a male chaperone, a right denied Muslim women and girls in Saudi for so long.

✅🇺🇸 In another “taste” of being Muslim in America? My family got a pathway to citizenship. You think the Muslim dictatorship of Qatar allows a pathway to citizenship for Muslim slaves, servants or Palestinian Muslims? Hell no. The Muslim Al-Thani family just buys citizenship for Muslim soccer stars from countries in Africa to steal World Cup wins. But otherwise it treats non-Qatari Muslims like slaves. America? My family waited, took the test, studied the constitution and we are citizens — hallelujah!

✅🇺🇸 I’m going to fast forward because this is just a “taste” of what it means to be Muslim in America. In 2002, I fled Pakistan with a souvenir that could have gotten me imprisoned or killed: a baby growing inside of me, a wedding ring not upon my hand. Sharia law makes sex out of marriage a crime in Muslim countries like Pakistan. My body? The mullah’s tyranny. And even dare to be atheist like @YasMohammedxx? It’s also a crime punishable by death — in Muslim countries but not in America!

✅🇺🇸 Where do you think I came to give birth to my baby in safety and security, without shame? West by God Virginia in the United States of America — where we enjoy equal rights as Muslim AmeriCANs, not AmeriCANTs.

This is a “taste” of life for a Muslim family in America. Please don’t minimize the experience of Jewish Americans by sanitizing the hell that it is for Muslims living in Muslim countries and vilifying America for the life — and freedoms — she offers Muslims like my family. Go, live like a Muslim woman in a Muslim country.

You will come back to America and kiss the land beneath your feet. 🇺🇸

On point as usual.

The tragedy of the Palestinian people is that they have been made to serve as the receptacle of the world's failed ideologies from Nazism to Soviet Communism, from Jihadi and Iranian Islamism to Western Left-wing extremism. These ideologies were all united by the need to politically organize against the Jews as the highly effective means of diverting attention from their abject failures to serve their societies.

[Lookingforthemiddle @looking4tmiddle]

@LBSamuelsson @Admiral_Zac @OwenJones84 @john_mcguirk Do you know how many were child soldiers? Do you know how many were used as human shields? Why does Hamas invest in rockets rather than shelters? Why do they have military tunnels, not shelters? They could have had an oasis in the desert from 2005, but they decided on war.

[Lookingforthemiddle @looking4tmiddle]

@AaronBastani Problem is, most of them support Palestinian self determination by the removal of Jewish self determination - remember the call 'From the River to the Sea Palestine will be free', not something like 'In Ramallah and Gaza freedom for Palestina'. See, it ain't hard.

[Lookingforthemiddle @looking4tmiddle]

@davidvance Despicable act of hate. To do what? Make a point? What point is worth this act of hate?

[Lookingforthemiddle @looking4tmiddle]

@lisanandy Please tell us how we can ensure that, for example, fuel going into Gaza won't be appropriated by Hamas for the purpose of rockets?

Remember UNWRA reporting the theft of fuel by Hamas?

[Lookingforthemiddle @looking4tmiddle]

@AaronBastani @jeremycorbyn @novaramedia What ceasefire? With whom, Hamas? Those who planned to enter Israel, rape women, burn babies, cut out a baby from its mother's womb killing them both, taking hostages, firing thousands of rockets into populated areas? No, Hamas is evil, Free Gaza from Hamas and then as ceasefire.

[Lookingforthemiddle @looking4tmiddle]

@AaronBastani Will he equally extend his solidarity with the victims of the rockets being sent by Hamas from beside a Kindergarten, which is part of the systematic double war crime of that Hamas perpetrates against Palestinians and Israelis?

[Lookingforthemiddle @looking4tmiddle]

@AaronBastani I would condemn his demonising of Israel with the blood libel. For example, Israel is not systematically targeting hospitals. Equally, can an anaesthetist not be wrong, you hold many people to account for numerous reasons.

[Lookingforthemiddle @looking4tmiddle]

@visegrad24 @nexta_tv Their stupidity is demonstrated by the fact that the person on the right doesn't even hold the Palestinian flag.

[Lookingforthemiddle @looking4tmiddle]

@OwenJones84 The person who sent you that should be prosecuted, no doubt. But you too are inflaming racial hatred when you describe what is going on as 'murderous' in Gaza. It is the wrong word, and amounts to the blood libel.
