This isn’t about short term arithmetic. It’s about long term survival and unity. As an Israeli, you know the whole country will come to get you if you are left behind. The willingness of Israelis to sacrifice 10 to rescue 1 is what has given the country its strength and ability to unite in the face of constant terror. Unwillingess to do so would have spelled the end of Israel a long time ago…..

@Nadav_Eyal Funny how easy it is to find a video of Hamas conducting an execution in less than 48 hours ofnit being restored to power in Gaza, yet impossible to find a single one of the IDF conducting one in 2 years of a “genocide”

[Mikael @MacroMika]

@MOSSADil 2 years of a “genocide” and still waiting to see video evidence of IDF executing Palestinians.
48 hours of “peace” and already have video evidence of Hamas executing Palestinians. 🤡

[Adin - عدین - עדין @AdinHaykin1]

The first 'genocide' in history where its victims celebrate its beginning and the perpetrators celebrate its end.

SOME THOUGHTS FROM ME

Israel may have lost the PR war, but on the ground it destroyed the ring of fire that once surrounded it.

1. Lebanon: Israel crushed Hezbollah, paged and eliminated thousands of fighters, and took out Nasrallah along with his entire senior command.

2. Iran: Israel neutralized Iran’s nuclear threat, wiped out its ballistic missile program, and eliminated its top scientists and generals. Sanctions were reinstated, leaving Iran weakened and exposed.

3. Syria: The Iranian-backed Assad regime collapsed, ending Tehran’s land bridge to the Mediterranean.

4. Yemen: The Houthis were shattered, their long-range capabilities crippled.

5. Iraq: Iran’s militias have gone silent. Not a single attack in over a year.

6. Judea and Samaria: Palestinian terror networks were broken, their leadership dismantled, and control restored.

7. Gaza: Hamas lost its entire command structure. Sinwar, Haniyeh, and Deif are gone. The group agreed to disarm, give up control, and begin deradicalizing Gaza.

Let the world chase headlines and PR. Israel changed the map. It erased the existential threat, shattered Iran’s reach, and rose as the new superpower of the Middle East.

From 2024, when this “journalist” was outed as clearly not a journalist.

Meet Al Jazeera's Anas Jamal Al-Sharif, the most prolific "journalist" left in North Gaza.

Pretty much every piece of propaganda coming from Jabalia originates with this monster. Do not believe a word he says 🧵

@Tedlinknews @teameffujoe @grok @grok is that Linda Sarsour, one of his advisors?

[Uriel Schachter @udschachter]

Major Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror, Israel’s Former NS Advisor, and a person whose opinions Netanyahu admires, was interviewed last weekend by Lior Kodner on Haaretz’s podcast.

These were his main points regarding the war in Gaza and Israel's strategic situation:🧵

[Mikael @MacroMika]

@mhdksafa @grok what was the arab population in Gaza in 1948? What is it now? What was the Palestinian population in the British mandate of Palestine in 1948, and what is it now? Does this seem like ethnic cleansing?

[Voice From The East @EasternVoices]

WOW!
The biggest newspaper in Germany @BILD just exposed what other media outlets are trying to hide: The deliberate staging of Hamas propaganda by photographers in Gaza, that are later sold for tens of thousands of dollars to western media outlets to create a false narrative to demonise Israel and strengthen Hamas.

The article analyses the case of Anas Zayed Fteiha, a so-called “freelance journalist” who works for the Turkish state news agency Anadolu. On paper, he’s a reporter, but in reality, he’s an Islamic propagandist with a camera. That’s obvious from his social media posts, where he proudly poses in combat gear and shares slogans like “Free Palestine” or even “F*** Israel.” Neutrality? Not a chance.

The article shows that many of his photos deliver exactly what Hamas needs: suffering, rubble, crying children captured in perfect lighting. The kind of imagery that instantly sparks outrage against Israel in the West. But where are the photos that show the full picture? For example, the scenes where adult men collect food that’s actually being distributed? Those images vanish into obscurity. Instead, the “emotional shockers” end up in outlets like stern, CNN, BBC, Deutschlandfunk—and even in BILD itself.

And none of this is a coincidence. The Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) confirms what experts have been saying for a long time: 𝗻𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝘇𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰��𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁.

Historian Gerhard Paul puts it plainly: in southern Gaza, Hamas controls 100% of visual output. In other words, any photographer who doesn’t produce what the terrorists want is out of a job. That’s why the suffering is always portrayed one-sidedly, it’s designed to provoke sympathy in the West and stir anger at Israel.

Even historical parallels are drawn: back in 2002, Arafat staged himself in his “fortress” in Ramallah as a tragic hero by candlelight cameras on, spotlights off, pure emotion. Minutes later, he was back under bright lights. Same trick, different setting.

The disturbing part? Major news agencies and media outlets play along. They buy these images without questioning who’s behind them. Reuters defends itself by saying, “Our photos meet standards of accuracy and independence”, but it’s clear that in a place where Hamas monitors every pixel, true independence is impossible.

And now the key question: Why don’t we see revelations like this in other media? Why doesn’t ARD produce a report on how tightly Hamas controls imagery coming out of Gaza? Why doesn’t the BBC acknowledge that many of its sources are actually activists? The answer is simple: because this truth is uncomfortable. It would disrupt the cherished victim-aggressor narrative,where Israel is always the oppressor, and Palestinians are always the helpless victims.

The reality is this: Hamas is waging a double war: with rockets and with images. And in the second war, they’ve already won over half the world, because the media uncritically reproduces their perfectly staged visuals. Anyone who doesn’t see that is blindly walking into a propaganda trap.

Former AP journalist Matti Friedman says the AP and similar news agencies have been self-censoring in their coverage from Gaza since 2008 due to Hamas threats against the Palestinian journalists working for these news agencies

[Mikael @MacroMika]

@SSinijlawi Isn’t that what was tried in 2005 when Israel left Gaza to allow for a Palestinian state….and then that Palestinian state elected a government sworn to Israel’s destruction and led to October 7th. 🤡

[Mikael @MacroMika]

@Osint613 @h3976a They take the aid, feed their fighters first since that is the priority to them, and then recruit others with the promise of all the food they need for them and their families. Speak against this and they will kill you.

@Osint613 @grok is this true, did Mamdani say this?

[Mikael @MacroMika]

@peterdaou 6 Hiroshima bombs and ONLY 60k dead? Either Israel is attempting genocide and has the absolute worst aim of any army ever, or they aren’t attempting genocide and are incredibly precise. It has to be one or the other. 🤡
