Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff dismantled the Palestinian narrative with cold historical facts.
There was never a sovereign Arab state called “Palestine.” The British Mandate of Palestine was simply British administration over the historic Land of Israel after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
Jews lived continuously in the land for centuries — including under Ottoman rule, when they formed the majority in Jerusalem. Before 1909, Tel Aviv was empty desert legally purchased by Jews, who built it from nothing. No Arabs were displaced.
After the British handed the mandate to the UN, the Arab world rejected the partition plan and launched a war to destroy the Jewish state. Arab armies and local militias tried to “push the Jews into the sea.” At the same time, Arab countries ethnically cleansed their ancient Jewish communities, forcing nearly a million Jews to flee to Israel.
During the war, Arab leaders ordered local Arabs to evacuate combat zones so their armies could annihilate the Jews. Many of those who left later became permanent “refugees” under Egyptian and Jordanian control.
Israel has never committed genocide — and never will. By defending itself, it prevents another holocaust.
Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic regime of Iran are the real obstacles to peace in the Middle East.
Retweet if you support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.
@karenfinerman Great show tonight. The atmosphere seemed a bit friday crazy day. Your insights were insightful. Boeing commentary very interesting. Also you gave off good vibes.
I said I was deleting my account. I haven’t. I stand by the opinions in my prior post but there are voices I want to keep reading. It’s hard to watch something you love go bad and still want part of it. Nobody cares what I post, but it didn’t feel right to stay without saying so.
This is my last post. I’m deleting X. Elon’s Sieg Heil salute was the last straw. He is a horror. This platform, once a source of breaking news and thoughtful exchange, has devolved into a cesspool of hate and bots. I’ll miss some things but cant in good conscience stay anymore.
A regime that fears a nurse with 15 social media followers has truly lost its way.
🧵The story of Yulia Menshikh's 8 year sentence is a damning indictment of Putin's rule
@BillKristol Of course you are worried. You predicted Romney would beat Obama, Palin would be a Republican powerhouse, and Trump couldn't possibly win in 2016. Given your record, you are probably anxious about whether your eggs boiled fully, until you crack them open.
@AMAZlNGNATURE A story of love, a moment of light and hope in a platform of hate and anger, makes me feel good enough to post this comment for the first time in ages.
The body of Maya Goren, who was abducted by Hamas on October 7th, has been retrieved from Gaza.
Her death was confirmed several months ago.
Maya was a Kindergarten teacher and a beloved mother. May her memory be a blessing 💔
I'm leaving Twitter, for the indefinite future. The reason is simple: this site is becoming more like Gab every day. It's a font of hatred, lies, and harassment. And while it's never been great, at least it had its uses. No longer. At least not for me. /1
I was born in 1961, and it was drilled into me a thousand different ways that if I ever saw the ancient evil rising, I had a responsibility to stand against it.
I never, ever imagined that it would come here, to the United States of America in my lifetime.
@krassenstein@TheRightGuy101 The words written in the memo line are near useless to prove your case. Stop emphasizing that. It makes you look naive. The memo line is a self serving statement.
Hamas is a terrorist organization.
This is not a controversial stance.
This is not a statement that is up for debate.
We do not need a discussion.
We do not need to hear from the devil’s advocates arguing it’s actually a “complex issue” and we need to “contextualise” Hamas.
