I just followed George. We can’t take the courage he demonstrates on behalf of Jews and Israel for granted.

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

Israel is behind the hatred of Muslims and Islam in general.

The 250,000 girls raped in the UK by Pakistani Muslims have nothing to do with it.

The thousands of Islamic terror attacks have nothing to do with it.

Fourteen centuries of Islamic conquest have nothing to do with it.

9/11 has nothing to do with it.

Eighty years of religious war against the tiny, only Jewish state has nothing to do with it.

The 57 Islamic countries that were once 100% non-Islamic have nothing to do with it.

The divine mandate to take over the world and establish the caliphate has nothing to do with it.

The killing of artists who draw Muhammad has nothing to do with it.

The killing of apostates has nothing to do with it.

The killing of authors has nothing to do with it.

Turning women into property has nothing to do with it.

Sex slavery and the mass murder of the enemies of Allah have nothing to do with it.

It was Israel.

Commissioner Virginia Bell allowed the lawyers representing the Palestinian advocacy groups to cross-examine David Ossip about the actions of the Israeli government while he was giving evidence about the fear, trauma and antisemitism experienced by Australian Jews.

This was a profound perversion where a witness appearing before the Royal Commission was placed in the position of answering for the conduct of a foreign government.

This is victim-blaming - and the Royal Commission outrageously allowed it to unfold.

Worse still, allowing this line of questioning plays into the dangerous narrative that Australian Jews are legitimate proxies for Israel and may be blamed, challenged or held collectively accountable for events in the Middle East.

This conflation is at the heart of the antisemitism crisis that has swept Australia since October 7.

And it happened on the Royal Commission’s watch.

My report from tonight’s show here - and you can see the questions from the lawyers.

The oldest known poor box (i.e., tzedakah box or charity box for the poor), inscribed with the Hebrew word for “your brother” (Achiha).

It was discovered in Beit Shemesh and dates back to the Iron Age II, 8th century BCE.

Currently on display at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

For @amnestyOz, Hamas colonel Hussam Abu Safiya is just a "doctor" to campaign for this week in Australia (unlike hostages held by Hamas for 2+ yrs). For @amnesty, Walid Daqqah, a PFLP member convicted for his role in kidnapping, castrating, & murdering an Israeli, is just a "writer" whose death is "heart-wrenching." An activist from the PFLP - behind Oct 7 murders, suicide bombings, & plane hijackings - is just someone for its @amnesty_de Middle East expert to smile beside, as protestors hold up red hands in exuberant reference to the lynching of two Israelis in 2000. For @hrw, the past activities of Shawan Jabarin, a jailed PFLP recruiter-turned board member is, according to @KenRoth, just "ancient history." For @msf, Fadi Al-Wadiya is just a "physiotherapist" until Palestinian Islamic Jihad forces its hand by claiming him as their own. Who's up for donating to human rights NGOs?

[Rabbi Poupko @RabbiPoupko]

The people of Gaza took the lives of these two babies and their mother with their bare hand 💔💔💔

We will never forget the Bibas family.🧡🧡��

[Arnold Roth @arnoldroth]

The life of my daughter Malka Chana Roth הי"ד along with the lives of 15 additional innocents ended in a massive explosion engineered by Hamas via a religious fanatic carrying an exploding guitar case. Today is the 25th Hebrew calendar anniversary. When will justice be done?

[Ian Batchelor @IanBatchelor11]

@SharriMarkson The Palestinian Action Network seem intent of displaying to the Royal Commission antisemitism in real time.

[Sharri Markson @SharriMarkson]

The Australian Palestinian Action Network is now interrogating Australian Jewish leader David Ossip about contested Palestinian casualty figures.
This is meant to be an ANTISEMITISM Royal Commission. Why is the Royal Commissioner, Virginia Bell, allowing Ossip to be grilled about what did or did not happen in Gaza? It is utterly irrelevant to the antisemitism suffered by Australian Jews.
This is deeply upsetting to watch and I can't imagine how Ossip must feel about this.

[Pierre Rehov @rehoov]

In September will be released my latest film "The Shadows of War"
The film explores Pallywood, and 78 years of Arab-Muslim propaganda. It debunks a few "Palestinian" myths, such as the so-called Deir Yassin "massacre", the so-called involvement of Israel in the Sabra and Shatila Christian revenge, the first "Pallywood" piece, the famous "Mohammad Al Durah" case and much more.
You won't ever be able to link Israel to any kind of massacre or genocide after you watch this film.
Here is the opening sequence.

[Heidi Bachram @HeidiBachram]

Here’s the Palestinian Youth Movement Summer School. They’re chanting “we will crush Zionism” and “young people, rise up, our revolution is an Arab revolution”. This isn’t in Gaza. It’s the UK. Youth are being PROGRAMMED and radicalised to hate Jews. SHOCKING. @LucyMPowell

[Jon Levine @LevineJonathan]

NEW from me

Susan Abulhawa regularly attacks Jews as "cockroaches" and "demons" — @simonschuster just gave her a book deal, with a press release from the publisher praising Abulhawa's "signature lyrical voice"

Parent company is @KKR_Co

THANKS @KKR_Co and @simonschuster !!!

Boy George, you dared to sing for truth and humanity while others marched with the mob. Now the United Nations must hear you. I intend to make it happen.

[Mosab Hassan Yousef @MosabHasanYOSEF]

Krystof, the two who had the power to save thousands are Guterres and Sisi.

Egypt could have opened Rafah and let civilians out before the ground war. The UN Secretary-General had the platform to demand it. They chose politics and power games instead.

Blaming the indoctrination of children, using them as human shields, raising generations on victimhood lies and jihad, or spreading the ambition of jihad is a never-ending rabbit hole. All those are crimes.

But the bigger crime is when leaders in power see innocent children heading for death and do nothing. Their inaction was a bigger crime than murder.

[Mosab Hassan Yousef @MosabHasanYOSEF]

UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi bear direct responsibility for the civilian deaths in Gaza.

They had the power to open Rafah and evacuate the most vulnerable before the ground war started.

They chose not to. Both should be held accountable.

The pro-Palestine lobby has swayed the Guardian to the point of endorsing Ian Lustik’s time-traveling fantasy of undoing the State of Israel.
We will probably carry on regardless. https://t.co/N4ADzLXrmn
