@Resist2Exist47 @jconricus @SpencerGuard @IDF I would have expected more objectivity from you INTIFADA INTIFADA @Resist2Exist47

@a_n_k_u_r @John_CsGo @jconricus @SpencerGuard @IDF No. I’m not saying they are guilty of any crimes although in war at scale it would be hard to imagine zero. But war crimes, even many, do not add up to genocide they are different things

[SlothluvChunk @manceptional]

@a_n_k_u_r @John_CsGo @jconricus @SpencerGuard @IDF You seem to be equating “not genocide” with “not a problem”. Plenty of awful things can happen that are not genocide

@Resist2Exist47 @jconricus @SpencerGuard @IDF Every war kills babies. War is terrible

[SlothluvChunk @manceptional]

@John_CsGo @jconricus @SpencerGuard @IDF Gaza is leveled but israel is not accused of genocide against buildings. It’s accused of intentionally trying to wipe out Gazans which seems demonstrably false

[Jonathan Conricus @jconricus]

The only thing the excellent and honest @SpencerGuard doesn’t do is provide you with a sharp rebuke to your constant interruptions and misleading questions. The numbers are plain and as simple as can be in a modern war. The @IDF has the best ratio on record in modern warfare, even when you rely on Hamas’ inflated numbers. @piersmorgan should stop peddling lies, propaganda and libel against the only democracy in the ME that is keeping jihadists at bay.

My new research on the experiences of Jewish editors on English Wikipedia has just been published.
The study exposes the harassment Jewish contributors face when trying to keep Israel‑related topics neutral. Reforming Wikipedia matters.

The Rent Guidelines Board recently voted for a two year rent freeze on NYC rent stabilized housing

I was the lone dissenting vote

I've written two pieces here; which highlight the challenges of a rent freeze and where to go next

So, young folks in upscale Brooklyn areas like Park Slope & Cobble Hill voted for Mandani’s Marxist comrades, the data shows.

Maybe these folks should spend less time in hot yoga classes & more time w/ Russians in Brighton Beach & Poles in Greenpoint to ask why they fled Marxism.

John Spencer @SpencerGuard actually answered your question, just not in soundbite form. Hamas claims roughly 72,000 deaths in Gaza, as Spencer noted, but that figure includes thousands of natural deaths as well as deaths caused by Hamas itself, including failed rocket launches. The IDF says it has killed about 25,000 combatants, a number affirmed by Trump in Oct 2025. If you subtract 25,000 from 72,000, even using Hamas’s headline number at face value, you get roughly 47,000 non-combatant deaths, or a bit less than a 2:1 ratio. The reality, after adjusting for natural deaths and Hamas-caused deaths, is likely closer to 35,000–40,000 non-combatant deaths versus 25,000 combatants killed, which puts the ratio closer to 1.5:1. But as Spencer was trying to explain, these numbers are inherently imperfect. That is the reality of war. Casualty estimates are messy, politically contested, and always subject to uncertainty. We work with the best available numbers, while recognizing their limitations. Using both Hamas’s aggregate death figures and the IDF’s combatant estimates still yields a civilian-to-combatant ratio that compares favorably to Allied operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. That is not something you can responsibly explain in a one-line soundbite. Throwing out a single number without the necessary context would be misleading.

Zinaida Portnova is known for having taken the lives of more than 100 Nazis by poisoning their food at just 16 years of age.

She was captured by the Gestapo, and while being interrogated, she disarmed the Nazi detective and shot him in the head. In her attempt to escape, she executed 2 more Nazis.

Been doing this for some time. The surge in Islamism in U.S. politics does not worry me much on the long term but has devastating effects on U.S. policy today. It is, like many other waves, comes and goes. Soon enough these Americans will be bored of Palestine and Socialist Islamism and find something else. They will also grow older and mature.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

Exposing Hamas’s Use of a Primary Gaza Hospital for Repression: Hamas’s intelligence and internal security services are in full fascist mode across the Gaza Strip, beating, interrogating, and threatening anyone they suspect may join the June 26 protests against their rule. A few friends of mine in Gaza City have already been summoned. They were told explicitly by al‑Qassam Brigades operatives, Hamas police, and internal security officers that if they post anything supportive of the protests on Facebook or offer any help to protestors, they will be executed under “revolutionary conditions” and treated as collaborators with Israel; no trial, no process, just immediate death.

And where were some of my friends interrogated, threatened, and placed on house arrest? Inside Al‑Ahli Arab Hospital or the Ma'amadani/Baptist Hospital in Gaza’s Zeitoun neighborhood. Yes, the same hospital that grabbed global headlines early in the war after a faulty Islamic Jihad rocket fell and caused an explosion, which killed hundreds of people. That hospital is now a central hub for Hamas’s intelligence, militancy, and internal repression.

This is criminal on every level. And it raises a basic question: if overwhelming, well‑corroborated evidence shows Hamas using Gaza’s medical facilities to hide among civilians and enforce its armed rule, violating the October 2025 ceasefire, why have the UN and international medical and humanitarian NGOs and charities remained silent? Why has no one suspended operations until Hamas withdraws from the hospitals they support?

I want every follower and every official who sees this to contact and tag the World Health Organization, UNICEF, UNRWA, the United Nations, Doctors Without Borders, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and any organization supplying Gaza’s hospitals. Demand that they confront Hamas’s presence in the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital/ Ma'amadani / Baptist Hospital and every facility they fund, staff, and sustain. Even though the Episcopal Church/Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem manages Al‑Ahli, every medical facility in Gaza depends on international aid, equipment, and expertise, during the war and even more so since the ceasefire.

It is time to get Hamas out of Gaza’s hospitals. It is time to support Gazans risking their lives to protest the Islamist fascists who have destroyed their society for twenty years. And it is time for the international community to finally recognize that Hamas cannot be trusted to uphold any agreement. The group is committed to a last‑stand ideology – much like Hitler in his bunker – regardless of how many civilians in Gaza suffer or die as a result.

[Elder of Ziyon 🇮🇱 @elderofziyon]

The UN Commission of Inquiry’s new report accuses Israel of deliberately exterminating the young of Gaza, and there have already been excellent rebuttals.

I attack it at a micro level. I look at one claim, that 5,160 children are estimated to be still buried under the rubble in Gaza, and trace its provenance step by step. In each step the Commission could have seen that the number was never real. It was not one error - it is a pattern of choosing whatever “facts” can add up to the biggest blood libel and ignoring any more recent counterevidence.

Link follows.

Correction to the caption in the post:

I'm not arguing that "suicidal empathy has led Muslims to commit the most sexual assaults." I'm arguing that suicidal empathy has led the British authorities to IGNORE the fact that the so-called grooming gangs were largely made of Muslim men at an astoundingly higher than the expected per capita rate. Those facts are incontrovertible. The most recent estimates of from the rape grooming reports places the Muslim perpetrators at 95% of all perpetrators.

[Not a Good Jewish Girl✡️ @estherzelda0514]

NY-15 is the West and South Bronx, mostly Latino and Black, with a minority of Whites and Asians. It is the poorest Congressional district in the US, with a median household income under 45K, and one of the youngest, with a median age of about 31. Nearly everyone there is a renter, over a third were born outside of the US, and most are employed as essential workers.

On paper, working-class, young, and majority-minority should be the prime terrain for the DSA, right? Well, that's wrong. Socialist candidates in NYC do best in young, college-educated, and economically mobile gentrifying areas like Queens, Brooklyn, or Western Astoria, not the Bronx, where the median voter is focused on their own economic survival, not the minutia of foreign policy.

Voters in the Bronx do not have aspirational and rigid ideologies. They are pragmatic, because they have to be. They prioritize voting for candidates who bring services and tangible benefits to their constituents. Earning social media points for progressive goals feels good in Queens, but in the Bronx, young families want Child Tax Credits and funding to fix dilapidated local infrastructure.

Rep. Torres himself is also not an ideologue or carpet bagger with coastal elite funding. He was raised by a single mother in the Bronx, and built his political reputation in the NYC Council hyper-focused on fixing up public housing. He has a history of delivering results directly to his own district, and that is why progressives do not appeal to his constituents.

The DSA has also not caught on that working class Hispanics and Blacks are much more socially moderate than progressive activists. Abolish the Police would poll terribly in the Bronx, where voters are much more besieged by public disorder than highly educated white people in gentrifying areas of Brooklyn.

But most importantly, and what the chattering class who are mostly progressive refuse to admit, Rep. Torres has smartly created a model of how to leverage a public anti-far left reputation into massive electoral success.

In aggressively breaking with progressives on issues like Israel, he deliberately draws fire from the far left. This positions him to gather nationwide attention he would not otherwise gain, so that he can amass a huge campaign war chest long before his primary. FEC filings show Torres raked in >6.5 million during the election, while Blake struggled to raise just a tad over 400K. This allowed Torres to flood his district with ads and completely lock down important institutional support from local unions and other Bronx political leaders, so Blake had no chance at at all. By the end of the primary, Torres still had over $14 million on hand, while Blake had less than 100K.

What political commentators miss is that Torres has created a political juggernaut of liberal success that should be replicable in any district, even heavily blue ones, that are not likely to break ultra-progressive, because he knows what working class liberals actually care about. Hint: it's not aggressive rhetoric on Israel or policing.
