Many people keep writing to me privately that “Brazilians aren’t protesting because we’re afraid. After January 8, Moraes turned fear into a weapon. Anyone could be the next target.”
I understand that fear. It’s real. Alexandre de Moraes’s power depends on convincing millions that silence is safety.
The uncomfortable truth is that no foreign country can save a nation whose own citizens are too afraid to defend it. The United States can expose what’s happening, apply pressure, impose costs and sanctions but it cannot stand in the streets for Brazilians. Not even @realDonaldTrump can fix what Brazilians won’t fight for themselves.
Societies don’t overcome fear by waiting for someone else to rescue them. But fear loses its grip the moment people decide to come together and make it clear that they’ve had enough.
We Had a Chance to End the Conflict and We Chose to Burn It.
In 2005, something historic happened.
Israel withdrew completely from Gaza - not just its soldiers, but also all of its civilians, farms, and settlements. Thousands of Israeli families were uprooted from their homes by their own government. Synagogues were dismantled, greenhouses and infrastructure worth hundreds of millions of dollars were left behind - not destroyed, but handed over to give us a chance to start fresh.
For the first time in our history, we had full control over a piece of land - our own borders, our own cities, our own people, and access to the sea. The world was ready to help. Billions in aid and investment were promised.
It could have been the beginning of a Palestinian Singapore.
But instead of building schools, hospitals, and industries, we built tunnels, rockets, and militias.
Instead of creating hope, we chose hatred.
Instead of turning Gaza into proof that Palestinians can govern themselves, we turned it into proof that we cannot.
When Israel left, the world expected calm, peace, and progress.
What did we give them?
Civil war between Fatah and Hamas.
Executions in the streets.
A terror group seizing power and turning Gaza into a launching pad for endless wars.
And the world still asks: Why doesn’t Israel “just give up the West Bank” too?
Because they already saw what happened the last time they gave land for nothing in return.
The truth is painful, but it must be said:
We were given a chance to build a future and we used it to destroy our own.
We could have shown that we were ready for peace.
Instead, we showed that we were ruled by those who fear peace more than they fear death.
Every rocket fired from Gaza wasn’t just aimed at Israel - it was aimed at our own future.
And now, after all the destruction, poverty, and death, I keep asking myself:
What if, just once, we had chosen life instead of revenge?
We had the opportunity to end the conflict.
But our leaders and too many of us chose to keep it alive.
All the human rights activists who bullied Jewish students for a ceasefire, who marched outside Jewish schools to end the war, who smashed Jewish businesses, burned synagogues, and even killed for peace, where are you now?
We, the Zionists, are celebrating peace. Why aren’t you?
Now we know British pensioners are the worst-off in the whole of the OECD, that the NHS and Education are collapsing, that students and workers alike are crippled with debt and police services can't cope with rampant crime, that our borders can't be guarded and nobody want to join the army it's time. Time to ask WHAT are we paying all these ever higher taxes FOR?
Taxed when we earn it taxed again when we spend it taxed again when we die! Taxed at the shops the petrol station the pub. Taxed when we buy a house taxed when we sell it. Taxed when we leave it to our kids. With all this tax we should have a nice and functional country. Everybody knows that we do not.
So Elon is rescuing people from space & the thanks he get is getting called Hitler, & having his Tesla dealerships & cars vandalized. Good job Democrats. You all are really showing your asses.
What is it going to take for the West to wake up? When will the West reclaim its heritage, culture, values, freedoms, and liberties? When will the West rediscover its spine and testicles?
