Omer Shev Tov in the WSJ:

"Hamas knew where I was and left me to die. Israel didn’t know my location, but it knew where my captor’s mother was and called to make sure she wasn’t killed accidentally.

"There I was—kidnapped, starved and tortured by her son—while my army was trying to keep his mother alive."

The Democratic party that you and I both loved no longer exists

It is being co-opted by Marxists who call themselves Socialists because it sounds better

But also by Islamists who are hostile to liberalism

We are electing people who openly hate America

We have insecure elections, open borders, an extremely complex network of NGOs that launders money (oftentimes state funds) to feed this machine

Many in politics and the media are either unaware of what's happening or too cowardly to stand up

A full generation of "educated" kids who were indoctrinated to believe that all of this is good

Etc etc

Watch closely new video showing the U.N. reaction: as courageous former hostage Ilana Gritzewsky confronts October 7th denier Reem al-Salem—by recounting the horrific abuse she suffered from Hamas—the U.N. rapporteur on violence against women sits there stone-faced. No empathy.

[Mosab Hassan Yousef @MosabHasanYOSEF]

The core reason behind the global hatred toward Israel is both demographic and ideological.

15 million Jews stand against nearly 2 billion Muslims, many of whom were raised for 1,400 years with religious teachings that foster deep hostility toward Jews.

This is why the Palestinian “victim” narrative spreads so effectively. Millions of people worldwide are now aligning themselves with Islamic Jihad against Israel, mistakenly believing they are supporting the oppressed.

Israel is the test case.

Strip away its history, rewrite the story, manufacture a cause, and suddenly terrorism is “resistance” and self-defense is “aggression.”

The same formula will be applied to Britain and to Western Europe.

The same voices that delegitimize Israel’s right to defend itself will one day delegitimize your right to defend your own people.

Erase the facts, invent a victimhood narrative, and brand the natives as oppressors.

That is the script. Today it’s Israel. Tomorrow it’s you.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Iran would rather invest in the rapists and murderers of Hamas than their own people.

The BBC and these other media outlets should be covering how evil these people are in Iran and the damage they’ve done to people all over the world.

You mean the time Islamists tried to slaughter all the Jews again and as punishment they had to move about 20 miles to a new location?

[Nuseir Yassin @nasdaily]

Narrative violation warning:

Elders in my Arab village in Israel told me the richest Palestinians sold their land and left first. 80 years later, their grandkids now claim to be displaced victims.

I am so allergic to victim mindset. It boils my blood. ~15 million displaced Hindus and Muslims in India-Pakistan around the SAME year. No one is trying to be a victim there. It's time to move on.

CNN's @DanaBashCNN: "Hasan Piker is excusing sexual violence by Hamas terrorists. He also claims Hamas is, quote, 'a thousand times better than Israel.' Hamas is a designated terror organization, not just by the U.S., but by the EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand."

One of the biggest and lesser known stories of Nov 29 is that the lands allocated to a Jewish state (two color map) were essentially those the Zionists reclaimed from malaria through land purchase, science and education (blue map).
Moreover, the sudden and extremely rapid increase of the Arab population in the 1920’s and 1930’s in this barely populated backwater region (this was the highest population increase rate in the world in 1931/2) was only in part due to immigration spurred by Zionist development of the land. The major share of the massive Arab population increase was thanks to Malaria eradication, which was the work of the Galician born famed microbiologist and ardent Zionist Dr. Israel Kligler (credit to the great historical work of Anton Alexander).
With this knowledge it remains even a greater tragedy that the now much more numerous Arabs of the land directed their efforts towards brutally fighting Zionism rather than choosing to live side by side with an emerging Jewish state.
In the shadow of the Oct 7 massacre we mark once more the Nov 29 moment when the Jews said yes to the UNGA plan of partition (having prioritized having a state, even if tiny and mostly desert and lands reclaimed from malaria and no Zion and no Judea) and the Arabs said no and proceeded to wage a brutal war to the present day (having prioritized - still - the goal of the Jews not having a state at all and of any size).

(Note on map titles: for twenty centuries, before a camoaign of denial was underway, it was well understood that the name “Palestine” merely denoted the geographic region where the Land of Israel was and was therefore deeply associated with Jews and the their continuous connection to the land. Hence the League of Nation in establishing the mandate recognized the “historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine" as the "grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country” and which is why the Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra of Jewish musicians became the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra…)

[Kosher @koshercockney]

Since the demise of BBC is being discussed, let’s have a reminder of this.

Remember the Gazan Al-Ahli hospital?

The BBC, reported it as being hit by an Israeli airstrike. A lie that Hamas had published and the media ran with immediately.

The BBC’s Jeremy Bowen even said the hospital was “totally flattened”

It turned out, the hospital car park was hit with a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket.

This misinformation blaming Israel set the Middle East on fire.

Calls for the death of Israel were heard across multiple countries. Embassies attacked. An ancient synagogue in Tunisia was desecrated. Global antisemitism sky rocketed.

It wasn’t until all of that damage was done that the BBC and Jeremy Bowen admitted they got it wrong.

And of course, Jeremy Bowen said he didn’t regret it or “feel particularly bad about it”

Read and watch below:

Jeremy Bowen: "I don't regret one thing in my reporting because I was measured throughout, I didn't race to judgement"

Interviewer: But you said that building had been flattened?

Jeremy Bowen: "Oh yeah well I got that wrong because I was looking at the pictures and what I could see was a square that appeared to be flaming on all sides and there was a you know sort of a void in the middle and it was I think it was a picture taken from a drone.

And so you know we have to piece together what we see.

And I thought well that looks like the whole buildings gone and that was my conclusion from looking at the pictures and I was wrong on that, um but I don't feel particularly bad about that."

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

Mamdani keeps using me as a foil in his campaign stump speeches and interviews.

What @ZohranKMamdani doesn’t understand is that I am not opposed to his candidacy because my taxes will go up.

Mamdani is not the right mayor because he is a socialist with no experience running anything. He does not respect the @NYPD. Closing Rikers will make NYC a much more dangerous place. Rent freezes won’t reduce the cost of living for all but a select few New Yorkers and only temporarily. City-run supermarkets will have empty shelves. Free buses will become homeless shelters. And his anti-business policies including higher corporate taxes will kill NYC jobs and cause companies to flee.

And he also stole the @nyknicks logo.

It is not about me, Zohran. It’s about what’s best for all New Yorkers.
