imagine being this stupid lol there’s literally no other country in the world that people advocate for the complete destruction of except the jewish state and you can’t connect the dots as to how that may be antisemitic?
If you think saying "Free Palestine" is antisemitic, you're an asshole. You're a disgusting fascist who thinks Palestinians should be oppressed by Israelis for the rest of their lives. Refusing to share in your bigotry is not itself a bigoted position, it's the exact opposite.
@NYCMayor Indeed, we are mourning the destruction of our Temples in Jerusalem.
Glad you're acknowledging the historical connection of the Jewish people to their indigenous homeland, Israel.
16 fucking years of One Direction!!! Blows my mind. Thank you for changing all our lives and the love and passion you all still show is unmatched! Tonight’s going to be a special show.
Spending the rest of the day listening to all the bangers and reminiscing! Thank you for all the memories.
And to my brother I Miss you every day but especially on days like today. I know we’d have been celebrating today together!
"NO ONE in Gaza helped me. I was treated worse than animal. The civilians saw us suffering and they cheered our kidnappers. They were definitely involved."
We grew up watching hand drawn Disney and now it's gone. We don't talk about this enough.
Every frame of this video was painted by hand, by a human being. Every single one...
To put that into perspective: to make Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney employed around 750 artists for three years, and they produced nearly two million individual paintings. More than 700 of the backgrounds were painted in watercolour. Over 150 people worked in a single department whose only job was to ink and paint the transparent sheets, called cels, that the characters were drawn on.
It all ended within our lifetime.
According to the Smithsonian, The Little Mermaid, released in 1989, was the last Disney feature made with the hand-painted cel method. The very next film, one year later, went digital.
And something was lost in that transition. In every frame of the old films, a human hand physically touched the surface. A person sat at a desk, held a brush, and made a decision. Two million small decisions, made by hundreds of people, most of whose names we will never know.
But the deepest difference is that the old animators knew they were making a cartoon. They did not try to copy the world. They stretched it, exaggerated it, bent it out of shape, because they understood something we seem to have forgotten: a drawing that imitates life exactly feels dead.
Walt Disney even had a name for this: he called it the plausible impossible.
Today, everything chases realism. And somehow, the more real it looks, the less alive it feels...
I started my newsletter because the past is full of beauty, and fewer and fewer people take the time to show it to us anymore. Every week I try to. If that is something you'd like to be part of, you can join through the link in my bio, and if you'd like to support my work, a paid subscription is what makes it possible.
Thanks for reading.
Her dead body was only 79 pounds after Hamas kidnapped her, starved her and killed her after Supernova.
Before Hamas killed her, they starved Eden down to a skeleton, turning her into someone her own family could hardly recognize.
Never forget.
Her name was Eden Yerushalmi🎗️
Never forget how all of Gaza society held a Dead Baby Party to celebrate their slaughter of Ariel and Kfir Bibas.
In case you're wondering why Gaza looks like Gaza.
This is 86-year-old Shlomo Mansour. He was a Holocaust survivor.
Hаmаs murdеrеd him and held his remains hostage. He was the oldest hostage.
Today would've been his 88th birthday. The world let him down.
Please. Keep Shlomo's memory alive.💓
Rachel Goldberg-Polin (@BringHershHome) is the embodiment of every mother’s worst nightmare: losing a child. Now, she is turning her loss into a way to help others heal.
Hamas kidnapped and executed her son, Hersh. Her commitment to save as many of the 251 hostages as possible never wavered. https://t.co/VO2n6MgyBS

"Some were suicidal. Others could barely speak"
Dr. Orli Peter @orlipeter, psychologist who is helping Nova survivors, in an open letter to Mamdani's wife:
"Dear Ms. Rama Duwaji, You publicly liked social media posts describing the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas as “collective liberation.” You also placed a heart next to an Instagram post claiming that the reports of mass rapes on Oct. 7 were a “hoax.”
For the past two and a half years, I have been treating survivors of October 7, helping them slowly rebuild shattered lives and broken nervous systems. Some were suicidal. Others could barely speak.
Some of the people sitting across from me in therapy had witnessed rapes and executions so brutal that their nervous systems simply shut down. Words stopped working.
These people did not simply survive war. They survived mass and socially sanctioned sadism. Subsequent investigations by journalists, forensic teams and international bodies documented widespread sexual violence that day.
Families were burned alive.
Festival goers hunted down, raped and then executed.
Hamas terrorists documented much of the violence themselves: one attacker used a victim’s phone to call his parents and brag that he had killed 10 Jews with his own hands; and you surely saw the footage of Shani Louk, whose body Hamas fighters paraded through Gaza in the back of a truck while crowds spat and celebrated.
Survivors of the Nova festival have also described militants laughing as they hunted festivalgoers hiding in the fields.
These were not acts carried out in secrecy. They were recorded, boasted about and, in some cases, carried out with visible pleasure.
These were not only acts of murder. They were staged performances of cruelty. This was not violence used as a means to an end. It was violence relished for its own sake.
That is the socially sanctioned mass sadism my patients are still haunted by, superimposed on everything they see.
Once that sadism becomes undeniable, the narrative has a problem. Mass murder can still be reframed as resistance. Rape cannot. It exposes the cruelty too clearly, so it has to be denied.
That denial carries consequences not only for the survivors I treat but for Palestinians as well.
Refusing to confront the mass sadism of Oct. 7 keeps Palestinians trapped under the same violent movement that terrorizes them.
Hamas has long brutalized its own population. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have documented torture, arbitrary detention, and killings of Palestinians accused of dissent or collaboration, and journalists have reported Hamas beating and arresting Gazans who protest its rule.
This is what authoritarian movements do. Cruelty outward. Repression inward.
As New York City’s first lady, you are in a public position to inspire a movement for Palestinian rights and safety.
The survivors I treat are still trying to rebuild their lives after what they witnessed. Palestinians deserve to be free from the same sadistic movement that terrorizes them as well.
Public gestures matter. When someone in a position of influence treats atrocity as liberation, the signal travels far beyond a social media post.
The evidence is clear.
Admit that you were wrong and withdraw your support for the lie.
Some of us spend our days helping survivors rebuild the lives that Hamas shattered.
The least the rest of the world can do is stop sanitizing mass sadism and tell the truth about what was done to the victims of Hamas’ cruelty. ".
@BernieSanders@Xanthippe_X Are you freaking serious right now? Where the hell were you when the Regime massacred 43,000 Iranians on the streets two months ago? How dare you now use Iranians as worthless pawns in your word salad? How dare you?
Arbel Yehud was kidnapped from her home and sexually abused by Gazans monsters almost every day during 482 days in captivity.
Mamdani's wife massively liked posts saying it's a hoax and legitimate resistance.
Happy women's day, everyone.
Whoever is at
Zoron The Morons press briefings this week keep asking why his wife could ever celebrate & like this kind of shit.
Don’t stop asking or give me a press pass I’ll do it myself.
grown men shouldn’t be approaching random children in public and filming them PERIOD, filming yourself harassing jewish children for social media is a whole new level of disgusting
DISGUSTING 🤮
A young Jewish child wearing a yarmulke was just playing when an adult “man” harassed and abused him
I’m sure he’s just an antizionist.
Ms. Rachel did this
Hamas and PIJ were required to release all hostages — both living and murdered — by October 13.
It is now December 20, and they are still holding Ran Gvili.
These terrorists have been violating the ceasefire from the very first day it was signed.
