@ggshz04 Something else I took away. Not one survivor from Nova nor the families of victims ever demand revenge. They want to process their pain not inflict more pain on others. They want to learn from their wounds not demand an eye for an eye.

I visited the Nova Exhibition today. So tragic. Important to bear witness to these testimonies. Chilling and heartbreaking.

[Heidi Bachram @HeidiBachram]

Take this tour of the @novaexhibition with me. The massacre of innocents is laid bare. In this time of disinformation it is truth. In this moment of dehumanisation it is compassion. A glimpse of Hell but we MUST bear witness. We cannot afford to flinch.

[Meyrick D'Souza @metric_dos]

@ggshz04 Tragic. But this could all be stopped but for those that want to kill every Jew. I hope the protests in Gaza on June 26th go ahead and no one is harmed. No one talks about the Gazans killed by Hamas.

[Prof. Frank McDonough @FXMC1957]

10 June 1944. 642 men, women and children were murdered by the German Waffen SS in the village of Oradour-sur-Glane, France. The village was never rebuilt and featured at the opening episode of the classic ITV documentary series World at War.

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

The June 26 Revolution movement in Gaza has issued its first statement.

The popular movement rising against Hamas rule in Gaza speaks directly to the Palestinian people. It demands an end to Hamas's gambling with Palestinian lives. It calls for dignity, justice, and an end to war, hunger, and displacement.

This is the voice Hamas does not want you to hear.

June 26. Mark it.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Yeah we know…
Many of us have been publishing dozens of videos showing how Hamas regularly executes Gazan civilians.

The real questions are why have the UN denied it for two years until now when they’ve had all the evidence? And why have the media refused to report it?
And why have the EU been funding Hamas regardless of these crimes?

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

This massive anti-Hamas protest took place in Gaza last year, with crowds chanting: "Hamas out, out!"

This month, on June 26, the people of Gaza have decided to take to the streets again. Hamas militias have already begun threatening protesters, calling them traitors and "Israeli proxies."

Stand with the people of Gaza, not with the militias that oppress them.

26 June 2026: The Gaza Revolution.

[Meyrick D'Souza @metric_dos]

@F4JOfficial @Right2Equality A well established strategy. Project all perpetration on men. Highlight only female victims of something that is overwhelmingly male. For example, men started pointing out male suicide victims due to IPV/DV and they publish a report talking about female suicide victims due to DV

He was once radicalized, chasing a dream of Jihad.

Today, Mubin Shaikh has turned that experience into a mission. As a former extremist turned counterterrorism expert, he now works with Parents for Peace to help families spot the warning signs, reach loved ones before it is too late, and choose a different path.

[Captain Allen @CptAllenHistory]

On This Day — June 9, 1941

The German Luftwaffe launched a major raid on Mandatory Palestine with 20 aircraft striking Haifa; and it was the Jews who were firing back at the Nazis.

Local Jewish volunteers who had only recently joined the Palestine Light Anti-Aircraft Battery fired their Breda guns at Nazi planes flying over the Land of Israel. The Jews were firing these guns for the first time ever, but scored hits on three German planes.

The forgotten Axis bombing campaign (1940–1942):

- Italy began bombing Mandatory Palestine in July 1940 (from bases in the Dodecanese Islands).

- The deadliest raid came on September 9, 1940, when Italian bombers hit civilian areas in Tel Aviv, killing 137 people (mostly Jews) in broad daylight.

- Vichy French aircraft even joined in, bombing targets in Mandatory Palestine.

The Axis hoped the raids would spark Arab revolts against the British and weaken the Yishuv. But they galvanized thousands of Jews to volunteer for the British Army, gaining critical military experience that would prove vital in 1948.

While London was enduring the Blitz, the Jews of Haifa and Tel Aviv were also under Axis bombs — a largely forgotten chapter of the war.

The Jewish defense of the Land of Israel had already begun years before the State of Israel’s independence.

@JamesLNuzzo So men perceived to be "doing better" = "male supremacy" & men hv oppressive power. But not the same in reverse. UK MP introduced a bill to address boys education and the govn response was "the gender pay gap".. so adult women deserve help and children should pay the price

[Don't Look Away @ExposingHamas]

Point-blank range, in the back.

On this day, we remember the Sarona Market shooting. June 8, 2016.

Two Palestinian terrorists from Hebron area opened fire on diners at Tel Aviv’s Sarona Market, murdering four people and wounding 21 before fleeing the scene.

They were dressed in suits and ties to look like businessmen. They sat at a table, ordered food, and waited. At 9:26 p.m., they stood up and opened fire on the diners with improvised submachine guns.

The terrorists shot people at close range, including from behind, as families and restaurant workers desperately tried to escape. Some people hid inside refrigerators. Others ran through the complex while the terrorists continued firing.

Four people were murdered: Ido Ben-Ari, Michael Feiga, Mila Mishiev, and Ilana Neve, who suffered a fatal cardiac arrest during the attack. Another 21 people were injured.

Hagai Klein, an IDF reserve officer and former security guard, charged at the terrorists with a chair. He disrupted the shooting and caused one of them to lose his weapon. Klein was shot in the chest and leg, but his actions likely saved many lives.

One terrorist was shot and captured by a security guard. The second fled into a nearby apartment, where a police officer initially mistook him for a frightened civilian and gave him water. The officer soon realized who he was and arrested him.

Investigators later found bags containing knives and other sharp weapons, apparently intended for use after the shooting.

After news of the murders spread, celebrations were reported in parts of the West Bank and Gaza, with candy handed out and fireworks launched. Hamas and Hezbollah praised the attack.

As usual with Palestinian violence, the terrorists did not attack soldiers or a military base. They deliberately chose a crowded restaurant and opened fire on unarmed civilians eating dinner.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

Evil rarely announces itself.

Hannah Arendt didn’t warn us that the greatest danger would come from monsters.

She warned us it would come from ordinary people who stop asking questions. People who trade conscience for slogans, curiosity for certainty, and morality for obedience.

The lesson of the Holocaust was never just about one man. It was about what happens when a society decides that thinking is optional.

Every generation believes it would have stood against evil.

History keeps asking the same question:

Would you have?

Or would you have simply gone along because everyone else did?

That’s why Arendt still matters. And that’s why this conversation matters. Because the opposite of evil isn’t outrage.

It’s the courage to think for yourself.

[Mish @Mish_K_]

Shimon Peres on Face the Nation in 1975.

“Many countries including even Syria and the Soviet Union, Egypt, Arab countries, European countries have suggested another way. They have said that if Israel says it will live within the borders of 1967 that is to say before the June war of 67, that then they will join in creating a system of peace in which Israel will get the protection of international acceptance.

… let’s not forget that up to 67 Israel was within the 67 frontiers and yet we never had peace.”

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Watch this 17-second clip carefully. What you are about to see is not what it claims to be.

For over 25 years I’ve worked as a specialist forensic analyst, both within the intelligence world as well as private security sector. So I’m going to show you how forensic analysis really works to uncover the truth about what we see put in front of us.

TRT World, Turkish state media, released this video claiming it shows an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Al Zaitoun, Gaza on January 5, 2025. The dramatic footage with emotional Arabic overlay text was designed to generate instant outrage.

While obvious Pallywood often uses fake blood and staged injuries, this one is more sophisticated. It relies on perfect timing and internal preparation.

Here is the second-by-second breakdown:

Seconds 0 to 1: The camera is already perfectly framed on the building. White smoke begins venting from multiple windows simultaneously. At around the one-second mark, a bright red dot appears on an upper window for a fraction of a second right before the blast. This is the trigger light that lights up the instant before an explosive charge is detonated. It also acts as a marker for the cameraman. No incoming missile, no external impact flash.

Seconds 1 to 2: A massive dark smoke plume erupts violently outward and upward. Debris is ejected. When a real missile strikes a building, you typically see large flames from the missile’s fuel and the force ripping apart major sections of concrete, producing large chunks of debris. Here, we see no significant flames and only small debris mixed with heavy dust, exactly what you would expect from a small internal explosive device designed mainly to blow out windows and create a dramatic smoke plume. The explosion originates from inside the building and expands symmetrically.

Seconds 2 to 4: The smoke cloud balloons dramatically. The cameraman, already positioned and recording, smoothly tilts up to capture the most cinematic part of the plume.

Seconds 4 to 6: The camera tilts down to street level. A girl in bright pink walks across the dusty area almost casually, not showing the expected panic.

Seconds 6 to 9: Civilians appear relatively composed. Then the man in the red hoodie runs in, stops dramatically, and points upward while shouting in a theatrical manner.

Seconds 9 to 17: People mill about with surprising calm as dust swirls. The camera work remains composed enough to capture the drama while TRT World adds the emotional propaganda text.

This was not an airstrike. It was a carefully timed internal detonation, triggered from within (signaled by the red dot), filmed by someone who knew exactly when it would happen. The internal multi-window venting, perfect camera placement, and staged reactions all confirm it was manufactured for propaganda.

If you value the truth and appreciate such detailed analyses, please share.

Real tragedy does not need this level of staging. The information war continues.

[facts about @destinationXIX]

One of the first major figures to call Israel an “apartheid state” was not a civil-rights hero.

It was Hendrik Verwoerd.

The architect of South African apartheid.

In 1961, after Israel voted against South Africa at the UN, Verwoerd lashed out. Israel, he argued, had no right to criticize apartheid because, in his words, “Israel, like South Africa, is an apartheid state”.

Projection at it's finest.

The man running an actual racial dictatorship tried to smear the Jewish state because the Jewish state opposed his racial dictatorship.

And the smear survived.
That is how inversion works.

The guilty party takes the language of its own crime and throws it at the people standing against it.

South Africa denied the black majority the vote.
Israel’s Arab citizens voted in Israel’s first elections.

South Africa built a racial caste system.
Israel built a country where Arabs, Druze, Bedouins, Christians, Muslims, Jews, women, minorities, and LGBT citizens have legal rights unimaginable in most of the Middle East.

South Africa treated black people as subjects.
Israel airlifted black Ethiopian Jews out of danger in Operation Moses and Operation Solomon, gave them citizenship, and absorbed them as part of the Jewish people.

Is Israel perfect? No.

No country is.

But apartheid South Africa did not send planes to rescue black people and bring them home as citizens.
Israel did.

That is why the modern alignment of many black activists with anti-Israel movements is so tragic.
For much of American history, Jews were not enemies of black liberation. They were allies.

American Jews helped fund, build, and staff major civil-rights organizations. Jews marched with Dr. King. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel marched in Selma. Jewish activists were disproportionately represented among white civil-rights volunteers. Two of the three civil-rights workers murdered in Mississippi in 1964 - Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner - were Jews.

But much of that history was coded politically as “liberal” or “Democrat”, not as Jewish.
So the alliance was forgotten.

And into that vacuum came a new story: Jews are white oppressors, Israel is apartheid, Palestinians are the new black South Africans.

It is one of the most successful moral inversions of our time.

Because if we are going to talk honestly about anti-black history in the Middle East, we need to talk about the Arab-Muslim slave trade.

It began earlier than the transatlantic slave trade.
It lasted longer.
It reached across Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian Ocean.
It included mass castration, concubinage, sexual slavery, and hereditary servitude.

And in parts of the Arab and Muslim world, slavery was abolished only in the modern era - in some places, barely at all.

Even today, anti-black racism exists openly in Palestinian and Arab societies. Black Palestinians are often descendants of enslaved Africans. In Arabic, the slur “abeed” means slaves. Yet the same activist spaces that obsess over “white supremacy” often go silent when anti-black racism comes from the side they have chosen to romanticize.

That, too, is inversion.

The people whose societies inherited the language and structures of slavery accuse the Jews of being the slave masters.
The people whose allies built real apartheid accuse Israel of apartheid.
The movements that glorify terrorism accuse Israel of genocide.
The regimes that persecute women, gays, minorities, dissidents, Christians, Jews, and black Africans call the Middle East’s most pluralistic democracy the “racist” one.

This is why the “Jews ran the slave trade” lie and the “Israel is apartheid” lie belong to the same family.
They are not historical arguments.
They are accusation laundering.
Take the crime.
Move the guilt.
Attach it to the Jew.

And repeat until people forget who actually stood with them.

There are black Israelis in parliament, diplomacy, medicine, entertainment, the army, and government. Pnina Tamano-Shata, born in Ethiopia and brought to Israel as a child, became Israel’s first Ethiopian-born cabinet minister. Yityish Aynaw became Miss Israel. Ethiopian Israelis serve, vote, protest, criticize, succeed, and belong.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian movement has repeatedly treated black solidarity as something it is owed, not something it has earned. In recent years, black activists have noticed the demand: your suffering must be folded into our cause, your history must be recruited for our slogans, and your moral authority must be loaned to our war against Israel.

But solidarity without knowledge becomes manipulation.

The tragedy is that many black Americans are taught to hate the one Middle Eastern country that actually shares their democratic vocabulary, while romanticizing movements and societies with far darker records on race, slavery, women, minorities, and freedom.

That is the power of inversion.
It makes enemies look like allies.
It makes allies look like oppressors.

And it turns historical memory into a weapon against the people who helped build it.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

Great article.

“ The UN has become one of the most dangerous instruments in modern geopolitics. Authoritarian regimes are using the UN’s prestige to normalise their behavior, conceal their crimes and peddle anti-Western propaganda. It should terrify all of us that the world’s most trusted watchdog has been successfully leveraged as a PR firm for tyrants.”
