Working to renew the mind and heart of our culture against the backdrop of the radical left, Jihadist Islam, and rising authoritarianism.

[mark leach @markleach]

This afternoon, in Sydney, I briefly waved an Israeli flag off to the side of a pro Palestian protest. I was on the steps of the Anglican Cathedral. I am an Anglican clergyman. I am the child of a German Jewish mother who fled the holocaust. I wanted to make a small stand against the genocidal hatred of Hamas being supported by the pro Palestinian mob. I wanted to show the Jews of Australia that Christians (who after all are simply followers of a Jew), would stand for them, and for Israel, in the face of such hatred and contempt.

On this afternoon I was chased off the steps of the Cathedral. I ran, followed by a small mob of large angry Muslims hurling abuse at me. I ran onto George St and hid behind a police van. The police dispersed the group who were looking for me.

I have not been that scared in a long, long time.

Why did I do it?

Because Australia is surely the best country in the world! Our democracy, our free speech, our rule of law, our multi-cultural diversity and acceptance of each other, our freedom of religion, and our safety make us the envy of the world. And all of that was being eroded this afternoon.

The Islamist/Jihadist strategy is to instil fear in non-muslim populations so that they will either convert to Islam, or live in dhimitude (a state of subservience to muslims). And the fear in the Jewish population in Sydney is palpable. The Police Minister, to their shame, warned the Jews to stay away from Town Hall or the Opera House because the police could not (or would not?) guarantee their safety.

I took a tiny stand because we cannot, we must not, give in to such fear. We cannot fear upsetting Islamic sensibilities and so self-censor our speech and religion and policing. We, as Jews, cannot give in to the fear that our Gentile Australian neighbours will turn against us if we 'stir up trouble' by speaking up for, and standing up for our rights as citizens. We must not cede one iota of our precious liberal, secular, democratic, pluralist state. Never again means never again.

ATERRADOR: Yasmeen Khan, dueña de un salón de belleza, ofrecía cursos gratuitos a jóvenes hindúes para atraerlas. Una vez allí, las drogaba en sus bebidas. Cuando perdían el conocimiento, llamaba a su esposo Mohammed Khan, quien las violaba mientras ella vigilaba la entrada.
Grababan los abusos para chantajearlas y obligarlas a tener relaciones con más hombres. Al ser interrogada, Yasmeen justificó los crímenes diciendo que ayudar a violar a “niñas infieles” las llevaría al Paraíso.

Esto es el Islam.

It’s been 50 years since this photo was taken. Palestinian terrorists invaded the Lebanese Christian town of Damour and massacred 582 Christian civilians.

It was an apocalypse, said a priest who survived the massacre.

“They were coming in thousands, shouting ‘Allahu Akbar! Let us attack them for the Arabs, let us offer a holocaust to Mohammad.’

They were slaughtering everyone, men, women and children.”

Men were lined up against the walls of their homes and gunned down.

Women were tortured and gang-raped.

Babies were shot in the back of the head.

Pregnant women had their babies cut out of the womb.

Just one of the many massacres committed against Christians by Palestinians. This is how Muslims became the majority in Lebanon.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

Al-Haddad's Pathetic Funeral: Unlike its usual quiet burials for slain commanders in Gaza, Hamas rushed to acknowledge the killing of its top military leader, Izz al‑Din al‑Haddad, and paraded his body through areas packed with displaced civilians. The group was desperate to manufacture a show of mass support. Instead, barely 700–800 people joined the procession, mostly children, teenagers, and a few elderly participants and onlookers. No crowds, no banners, no vehicles, no “resistance” theatrics.

It was a humiliating display that underscores a reality long visible to anyone actually connected to Gaza: Hamas is overwhelmingly loathed, feared, and rejected by most of the Strip’s population. In fact, more online “activists,” “commentators,” and self‑styled “pro‑Palestine” personalities mourned al‑Haddad’s death than Palestinians inside Gaza. Dozens of contacts, friends, and social media posts from inside the Strip showed the opposite reaction: relief, celebration, even open joy at his elimination.

This is yet another data point in a long pattern: Gazans are done with Hamas, and Hamas knows it.

[Captain Allen @CptAllenHistory]

The word “Nakba” (catastrophe) wasn’t invented by Palestinians to describe Jewish “ethnic cleansing.”

It was coined in 1948 by a Syrian Arab historian, Constantin Zureiq, in his book The Meaning of the Disaster.

He used it to describe the humiliating failure of the Arab world — their leaders’ arrogance, their lies to their own people, their military incompetence, and their refusal to accept a Jewish state.

Zureiq wrote that the Arabs had “imaginary victories” and put their public “to sleep” with boasts — until the real disaster hit: they couldn’t wipe out the Jews.

The original Nakba wasn’t about refugees. That a rebrand from several decades later.

It was about the Arab leaders’ catastrophic decision to launch a war of extermination ... and lose.

They’ve spent 77 years rebranding their own failure as Jewish guilt.

That’s the only real "Nakba" they can’t forgive.

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

I am absolutely devastated
Men who claim to be women have more rights than actual women in Australia.
It is women who are being discriminated against, not the men who claim to be us.

But in a sense, nothing has changed: we will all wake up tomorrow & men will still not be women.

Superb article explaining the rise of antisemitism in the US (and west more generally).

[Victor Davis Hanson @VDHanson]

So why and how did millions of Americans begin to express hatred for Israel and, albeit more subtly, the Jews who support it?

There are four converging fronts in this perfect storm:

THESE MONSTERS HACKED PREGNANT WOMEN open with machetes right in front of them, forcing moms to watch their unborn babies die before they bled out.

All because these families refused to convert to Islam.

Here’s a great video from @FreyaThinks on lessons to be learned from Rhodesia https://t.co/9RC4T1uQtP

[dan linnaeus @DanLinnaeus]

Two documents on sexual violence in the Gaza conflict were published over the last twenty-four hours. One is a three hundred page evidentiary record built over two and a half years to support criminal prosecution of Hamas and its collaborators. It examined over ten thousand photographs and video segments, conducted over 1,800 hours of visual analysis, ran more than 430 formal and informal interviews, mapped victims across 52 nationalities, and is the culmination of the scholarship and analytic contributions of dozens of leading figures in their field led by Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy, with principal contributor Hon. Irwin Cotler, and distinguished contributors including David Crane (founding chief prosecutor of the UN Special Court for Sierra Leone) and Yuval Shany (former UN Human Rights Committee). It is endorsed by internationally recognized notables such as Ambassador Isabelle Rome (France’s Ambassador at-Large for Human Rights), Alice Wairimu Nderitu (Former UN Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide), Noëlle Lenoir (Former Justice on the French Constitutional Court), Aharon Barak (Former President of the Supreme Court of Israel) and Mukesh Kapila (Former Special Adviser to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights), among many others.

The other is Nicholas Kristof’s lascivious New York Times opinion column accusing the Israeli state of systematic sexual violence against Palestinian men, women, and children, supported by Hamas-linked figures at Euro-Med and a documented, self-admitted sexual harasser of minors, Shaiel Ben Ephraim, who lost his junior research fellowship at UCLA over the scandal. It is based on uncorroborated testimony from mostly convicted and suspected terrorists who accuse Israel’s security apparatus of training dogs to rape. The most accredited source it leans on is that of Issa Amro, one of Kristof’s two named witnesses, who holds EU and UN human rights awards and is an HRW fellow. After being convicted in Israeli military court in 2021 of six counts, three for participating in demonstrations without a permit, two for obstructing security forces, and one count of assault for pushing a settlement guard, he was sentenced to a 3-month suspended sentence, 2 years probation, and fined about 3,500 NIS. Amro told the Washington Post in February 2024 that he was threatened with sexual assault during a 10-hour detention on October 7, yet in Kristof’s column, the same October 7 detention has him as a victim of rape -- his own first-person account of the same event contradicts itself. The other, Sami al-Sai, one day after the Hamas massacres, while bodies were still being recovered from the kibbutzim and fighting was ongoing, posted celebratory content praising “the green flag” flying across the West Bank, “over the camps of the occupier and his tanks,” and “decorating the foreheads of the heroic fighters.” About a year before Kristof’s column, al-Sai gave testimony about his alleged abuse to a domestic anti-Israel NGO, B’Tselem, that has been at the center of its own fair share of sourcing scandals. B’Tselem’s account did not include the specific, graphic details that surfaced in Kristof’s column: being sodomized with a carrot, a female guard grabbing his genitals, or finding “other people’s vomit, blood and broken teeth” on his skin from other detainees.

In five years, one of these documents will be cited in international tribunals, in court filings, and in academic literature. The other might still be a Wikipedia footnote about a press controversy that likely ended Kristof’s career.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

I’ve written and researched the whole seven front war since 7th October. It has been my whole professional life. I’ve written many papers and have just finished my book. I have written both positive and negative critiques of the war.

All of that feels irrelevant in this context. The most meaningful thing I have done since 7th October is bear witness and relay the horrors done that day. I have seen part of the sexual crime evidence in this report (above and beyond the 47 minute reel) and it remains the most horrific thing I have seen in my life. Nothing Israel has done in Gaza comes remotely close to the horrors of 7th October. The Gaza war and 7th October don’t deserve to be in the same conversation when it comes to atrocity. No comparison.

The rapes are the thing Hamas and their supporters are most scared of being exposed to the world. Every time I have written about what I have seen, 5x the usual amount of bots descend upon my replies. Abuse and outright denial.

Now, the evidence I have seen, and more, is out there. When Yoav Gallant said Israel was fighting human animals in Hamas, he was absolutely correct.

After more than two years of independent investigation, the Civil Commission has released a comprehensive report documenting sexual and gender-based violence committed by Hamas on October 7 and during hostage captivity.

The report is not only a historical record — it is a call for recognition, accountability, and justice.

If you want to know why all the deeply silly “dog rape” stories were published this week, it’s because the paid pro-Palestinian influencer squad were ordered to get ahead of this, genuine horror story.

This is the raw unadulterated racist hatred of the antizionism movement. It oozes hate out of every pore and sucks in naive westerners into its genocidal web.

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

A single intercourse with one of the virgins of paradise will last seventy thousand years.

The Islamic afterlife isn’t about communion with God, spiritual enlightenment, or divine wisdom, it’s a carnal, male-centered fantasy of unlimited sexual gratification.

Islamic texts describe these women as perpetual virgins, untouched, and designed solely for the pleasure of men.

“Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation. And made them virgins, devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age.” (Quran 56:35-37)

“Fair ones reserved in pavilions. Untouched before by any man or jinn.” (Quran 55:72-74)

Hadith collections affirm that after every act of intercourse, these “virgins” miraculously return to a state of virginity so the process can be repeated endlessly.

These heavenly beings are not just virgins, they are physically exaggerated to fulfill male fantasies:

Large, round breasts:“Indeed, for the pious there is a triumph… full-breasted companions of equal age.” (Quran 78:31-33)

The Arabic term kawa‘ib in 78:33 literally means “firm, swelling breasts.”

Big, lustrous eyes:“They will have maidens with intensely white skin and large black eyes, as if they were hidden pearls.” (Quran 52:20)

Glowing, hairless, smooth skin:“If one of the women of paradise were to appear to the people of the earth, she would fill the space between heaven and earth with light and fragrance.” (Tirmidhi, 2538)

Muhammad explicitly stated that men in paradise will have endless sexual stamina, never experiencing fatigue.

The virgins, in turn, never get tired, never say no, and are always ready for intercourse.

The Prophet was asked, “O Messenger of Allah, do we have sexual intercourse in Paradise?” He replied: “Yes, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, a man will have sexual intercourse with a hundred virgins in one morning.” (Ibn Majah, 4337)

Another hadith states that men will be given the strength of 100 men in sexual performance. (Tirmidhi, 2536)

According to Al-Suyuti, a famous Islamic scholar:

“The believer will be given such and such strength in paradise for intercourse… A single intercourse with one of the virgins of paradise will last seventy thousand years.” (Al-Suyuti, Al-Haba’ik fi Akhbar al-Mala’ik)

These “virgins” don’t need to poop, pee, or sweat, they exist for one purpose: eternal male pleasure.

“They will neither urinate, defecate, nor suffer from phlegm or mucus. Their sweat will be musk.” (Muslim, 2834)

“They will be hairless except for their eyebrows and eyelashes.” (Tirmidhi, 2536)

A believer doesn’t get just one virgin, he gets dozens, or even hundreds.

“A martyr will have 72 virgins.” (Tirmidhi, 1663)

“The lowest rank of a person in paradise will have 80,000 servants and 72 wives.” (Ibn Majah, 4337)

While men are promised an endless supply of sex slaves, the fate of women in Islam’s paradise is nonexistent or humiliating.

Women in Islamic eschatology exist only for men’s pleasure, nothing else.

While other religions speak of enlightenment, unity with God, or transcendent joy, Islam offers a pornographic fantasy land where men indulge in endless sex, alcohol, and servitude.

What kind of God rewards faithfulness with an eternal orgy?

What kind of religion reduces the afterlife to a hypersexualized playground?

This is not spiritual. This is not divine. This is the theology of a man who designed an afterlife to justify his own sexual obsessions.

And yet, Muslims claim Islam is the most moral and pure religion.

Islam’s paradise is nothing more than a cosmic brothel.

Australian Governor General announced today that she is hosting Sheikh Dr. Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa at Admiralty House - the Secretary General of the Muslim World League.

Al-Issa's highlights reel:

1. Calling Jewish hearts harsh as stone, "even harsher" (Quran Radio, "The Obstinacy of the Jews & the Harshness of Their Hearts," 16 August 2014, minute 6:25).

2. Claiming Jews "distorted the Torah" intentionally and wickedly (same sermon, minute 9:10), insisting that they didn't merely twist meaning but altered the actual text - described in his words as "marrying the two uglinesses."

3. Claiming today's Jews remain on the same "deviant path" as their ancestors (same sermon, minute 11:00).

4. Saying Jews are "ashamed" to repeat how Jews describe God because, in his telling, Jewish theology is the most ignorant and ugly conception imaginable (same sermon, minute 16:20).

5. Attacking core Christian theology as fabrication - saying Christians "spoke lies and fabrications" about God having a son (same sermon, minute 17:50).

6. Calling on Jews to "fold into" Muslim society ("God's Call for Jews to Join the Muslim Community," Quran Radio, 19 February 2014, minute 5:40).

7. Saying Jews conceal religious truth out of "ill will, and envy" rather than ignorance - claiming they actually know Islam is true and reject it deliberately ("The Call of God to the Jews to Believe in the Quran," 19 February 2014, minute 9:00).
