Hola, soy palestino. 🇵🇸
Y como la honestidad es poco común en mi política, permítanme confesar algunas cosas.

1947. La ONU me ofreció un estado. Junto a Israel. Fronteras, independencia, reconocimiento. Dije que no. Mis líderes prometieron que la guerra "arrojaría a los judíos al mar". En cambio, lo perdí todo y lo llamaron catástrofe. No porque no me ofrecieran un estado, sino porque lo rechacé.

1948–2025. Los estados árabes podrían haberme integrado, dado derechos, pasaportes, dignidad. En cambio, me encerraron en campos de refugiados durante generaciones, para que siguiera siendo un arma contra Israel. Construyeron palacios para ellos y cárceles para mí. Me usaron como propaganda, no como personas.

1967. Tras otra guerra perdida, podría haber construido un estado en Cisjordania y Gaza. En cambio, insistí en "ni paz, ni reconocimiento, ni negociaciones". Tres noes. Cincuenta años después, sigo sin Estado. Resulta que el rechazo no paga el alquiler.

Oslo, década de 1990. Israel dijo: «Intentémoslo». Me dio autonomía. Armas para la policía. Miles de millones en ayuda. ¿Qué hicieron mis líderes? Robaron el dinero, armaron milicias y lanzaron una intifada. Atentados suicidas en lugar de escuelas. Cohetes en lugar de fábricas.

Gaza, 2005. Israel se fue por completo. Sin colonos, sin soldados. Tuve la oportunidad de convertir Gaza en un Singapur mediterráneo. Voté por Hamás. La convirtieron en Mogadiscio junto al mar. ¿Miles de millones en ayuda? Túneles, cohetes y palacios para sus líderes, mientras mi gente come comida enlatada en la oscuridad.

¿Democracia? No he tenido elecciones en casi 20 años. Hamás mata a los disidentes en Gaza. Fatah los encarcela en Cisjordania. Mis líderes cancelan elecciones porque están demasiado ocupados luchando por el poder.

Religión. En lugar de construir un futuro, pongo a clérigos en televisión enseñando a los niños a odiar a los judíos. Glorifico a los "mártires" que hacen estallar autobuses. Crío a mis hijos con canciones de sangre y fuego en lugar de libros y ciencia. Cambio la esperanza por la guerra santa.

Mundo árabe. Los regímenes árabes me llaman "hermano". Pero pregúntenles cuántos palestinos pueden vivir libremente en Líbano, Siria, Egipto o Kuwait. Me excluyen, pero celebran mi muerte, porque mi muerte es su excusa.

Absurdo. Sigo diciendo que quiero "construir un estado". E irónicamente, justo al lado está Israel: el vecino que construyó una democracia próspera, una potencia tecnológica, granjas en el desierto, ciudades de polvo. Sin petróleo, sin riqueza infinita, solo coraje. Podría haber aprendido, copiado, colaborado. En cambio, elegí la envidia y la rabia.

Obsesión antijudía. Podría haber aceptado a los judíos como vecinos. Podría haber dicho: "Dos naciones, dos estados". En cambio, repito: "Del río al mar". En lugar de exhibir el honor, la hospitalidad y la rica cultura árabe, mostré solo la cultura de la espada: la ira, el extremismo y la sangre. En lugar de gritar salaam (paz) a los israelíes, grité muerte a los judíos. Y luego finjo sorprenderme cuando los israelíes no confían en mí, cuando están enojados, decepcionados y convencidos de que no quiero coexistencia en absoluto.

Responsabilidad. Culpo a Israel de todo. Siempre. ¿Mis líderes roban miles de millones? Culpa de Israel. ¿Hamás dispara cohetes desde hospitales? Culpa de Israel. ¿Glorifico la muerte más que la vida? Culpa de Israel. La responsabilidad no es mi fuerte.

Soy palestino.
Podría haber construido una nación, muchas veces. Elegí el rechazo, la corrupción y la guerra sin fin. Podría haber vivido en paz con Israel, pero elegí vivir a la sombra de su destrucción.

Así que sí, soy una víctima. Pero con demasiada frecuencia, soy víctima de mis propios líderes, de mis propias decisiones y de mi propia negativa a abandonar el odio.

Y esa, querido lector, es la tragedia que nadie quiere admitir.

7 DE OCTUBRE DE 2023: ELLA SABÍA QUE IBA A MORIR.

Libi Cohen-Meguri, una oficial de infantería de 22 años, asistió al festival de música Nova.

Recibió disparos mientras huía de la fiesta. A las 8:11 a. m., llamó a sus padres y dijo:

«Me han disparado en el estómago, me han disparado en el brazo, estoy perdiendo sangre. Voy a morir».

Con calma y serenidad, lo comprendió: eran los últimos minutos de su vida.

Pidió a sus padres que llamaran a Tomer, su hermano gemelo, y a Maya, su hermana pequeña, y dijo:

«Voy a morir. Solo quiero que me escuchéis.

Te quiero, Yariv. Eres el mejor padre que podría haber deseado.

Mamá, deja de gritar. Escúchame. Eres la mejor madre que podríamos haber tenido jamás. No olvides ser una buena madre para Tomer y Maya cuando yo ya no esté.

Tomer, qué suerte tuvimos de vivir esta vida juntos. Te quiero.

Mi Maya, nunca lo olvides: eres el tesoro de mi vida».

Cuando terminó de hablar, sus padres le dijeron que saliera del coche, se tumbara en la carretera y fingiera estar muerta.

Con sus últimas fuerzas, salió del vehículo y se tumbó en la carretera.

«Mamá, vienen a dispararme otra vez», dijo Libi tras tumbarse.

Mientras su madre escuchaba al otro lado de la línea, se oyeron gritos en árabe y, acto seguido, una ráfaga de disparos.

No cesaba.

Continuó así hasta que se cortó la llamada.

Y así murió Libi: con bestias demoníacas salidas del abismo del infierno sobre ella, vaciando un cargador entero en su cuerpo.

Libi murió con AMOR en los labios: amor por la vida, amor por su familia y amor por su pueblo.

Su recuerdo será siempre una bendición. NUNCA OLVIDAR.
NUNCA PERDONAR.

«NUNCA MÁS» ES AHORA.

Israel está dando caza a todos y cada uno de los terroristas palestinos y de Hamás que participaron en la masacre del 7 de octubre, para acabar con todos ellos.

Tienen los días contados, afirmó el primer ministro Benjamin Netanyahu.

Tarde o temprano, todos y cada uno de estos monstruos serán localizados y eliminados.

Hoy hace 3 años que el horror me dio una cachetada. Hasta el 7/10 subestimaba el antisemitismo en el mundo. Ver lo que hizo Hamas y cómo muchos respondieron a la propaganda y se sacaron el pudor antisemita de encima, me lastimó como ser humano, me despertó de la negación y me hermanó para siempre con el pueblo de Israel. Hoy los abrazo.

In Greece, we hate Islam more than anything. But there is a reason for that. It's called: Greek history.

Lebanon and the entire Middle East have experienced for centuries the true face of Islam. That Islam which does not hide behind the lies it needs in order to invade the West as a religion of love and wisdom, but as what it really is: a political ideology full of death, hatred, and destruction.

I know many of you will wonder how I can know the true face of Islam. Well, of course all Greeks know, because all of our ancestors suffered martyrdoms for their faith and their origin. That is why the Greeks love and care for the Christian communities of the Middle East, and you should know that if it were in our hands, Greece would protect these peoples from barbaric Islam at the first opportunity.

Reading @GadSaad 's post, I could not help but think of the countless moments of modern Greek history, when from the fall of Constantinople until 1821 the Greeks lived through the worst period of their lives. Enslaved for almost 400 years under the monster of Islam, which stole, raped, murdered, and tortured in the most horrific ways the Greek Christians who lived throughout Asia Minor (Anatolia), Pontus, Greece, and Cyprus.

For 300 years the Muslim Turks were stealing kids from their mothers. They were waiting for women to birth, raise their kids, and then at the age of 8 were collecting them. The devşirme known as "collection of children" or "blood tax" or in Greek as "paidomazoma", was a systematic practice that forced the recruitment of young Christian boys, typically aged 8–18.

Historians estimate the total number of Christian boys taken across the entire Ottoman Empire around 300.000 kids. From those kids 150.000 were Greek kids (over 300 years). It means the half of the total kids that were stolen were only Greek. For example in 1540, a levy in the Greek regions of Thessaly & Macedonia took 1.000 Greek boys in one season and in Chios (the Greek island) 200 boys taken in 1567 alone. The peak was 5.000 kids/annual from Greece.

The most common torture inflicted by the Muslims during the Ottoman period was whipping. The usual victims were the Christians. It was the introductory torment in every other torture, so common in the persecutions of Christians that the phrase became proverbial: "I will whip you until you change your faith."

During that period, Muslims enjoyed performing all kinds of mutilations. Ears, noses, lips, tongues, breasts, and genitals were primarily cut off. Not just those, though. Let's recall here the Saint Raphael of Mytilene, who was hanged from a tree and had his lower jaw cut off, while the twelve-year-old martyr Irene was roasted in a barrel on the Tuesday of Easter in the year 1463, ten years after the fall of Constantinople.

In many cases, the severed body parts "adorned" the warrior collection of the janissary. The pashas gave bakshish (tips) to every "brave" Muslim warrior according to how many ears of "infidel" Christians he brought back. He himself confirmed his bravery and "manliness" among his peers by having a "komboloi" (worry beads) made from the nipples of breasts he had cut off from women. The bravest man was the one with the longest komboloi after a massacre and looting.

Blinding with various sharp objects was also common. This was particularly frequent during periods of massacres and atrocities. Many unfortunate Christians remained blind for the rest of their lives because they had the misfortune of a horde of janissaries passing through their land. The Egyptians under Ibrahim Pasha were especially notorious for this crime.

Many times Christian captives were placed in front of cannons that were fired, turning them into human shreds of flesh. In other cases, they were tied to galleys that sailed in opposite directions and were torn apart. Dismemberment of victims also occurred with horses.

After the Ottoman conquest of Crete (1669), local officials and governors began to oppress the Christian population in every way: killing, abducting and abusing women, demanding money, and preventing the performance of the subjects' religious duties.

We Greeks, called the Muslim Turks, "The grand masters of torture." In 1821, in Patras, they captured a father and son and, after impaling them, lit a fire and forced the other captives to roast them like lambs. Ali Pasha at that point was more inventive: When he impaled Christians, he forced their relatives to turn the spit, threatening that otherwise he would impale them too.

Immediately after the hanging of Patriarch Gregory V in Constantinople, the Turks hanged three metropolitans at various points in the city. However, one of them, the very elderly Metropolitan of Nicomedia, breathed his last before reaching the place of execution. Such, however, was the Turks' mania for revenge that they punished even the dead man by hanging his corpse.

Just 65 years after the Fall of Constantinople, Sultan Selim I Yavuz, grandson of Mehmed the Conqueror and father of Suleiman, decided to definitively abolish the Patriarchate of Constantinople during the patriarchate of Theoleptos I, and to slaughter all the subjugated Christians (rayah) of the empire who refused to convert to Mohammedanism. Just 65 years after the Fall of Constantinople, the Greeks of Thrace were collectively placed before the forced dilemma of either converting or being wiped off the face of the earth, that is, to suffer ethnic cleansing or genocide, as we would say today. Between those two barbaric options, the Greeks of Thrace (the ancestors of today’s Muslim Greeks of Thrace) chose ethnic cleansing at their own expense; that is, they chose to convert in order to survive as an ancient indigenous people, in the hope that at some point in the future their descendants would regain their national self-awareness and their religious independence, and would then voluntarily return to the bosom of the Greek Nation and of Greek Orthodoxy.

When the Greek Bishop Dionysios the Philosopher of Larissa organized a revolt against the Muslim Turks in 1611, which ended in failure, the Turks flayed him alive, stuffed his skin with straw, and paraded it from city to city. Three days later, the Turks also discovered -the Greek rebels- Deli Giorgos and Lambros. They burned Lambros alive, while they crucified Giorgos and, instead of a crown of thorns on his head, they drilled holes into which they placed feathers. Dionysios’s skin, together with the heads of 85 Greek Christian rebels, was sent to Constantinople, where it was thrown into the Sultan’s stables.

After the failure of Daskalogiannis’s uprising in Sfakia (Crete, 1770), the Turks captured him and flayed him alive, cut him in pieces and throw them in the fire and the dogs.

The Muslim Pasha of Thessaloniki, Abdul Abud, who had set as his goal the extermination of the Greeks, burned 120 villages and wiped out their inhabitants to the last one.

5.000 Greeks were massacred in Naousa, the rest were sold in slave markets, and the entire city was reduced to ashes.

The Janissaries faced no restraint in their behavior toward the Christians. They would even enter churches and desecrate them. And if they discovered a beautiful Greek girl, they would seize her from her parents in order to satisfy their lewd desires. For this reason, anyone who had a pretty daughter was forced to keep her locked inside the house, while most Greek women who lived in towns would wear a burqa when they went out, just like Muslim women.

The Janissaries also exterminate Christians without any reason, simply because they were Christians. Sometimes they executed them in cold blood in the middle of the road, just to test the accuracy of their weapons; other times to watch them writhe in their own blood; sometimes to make the abduction of a bride, right after her wedding, more dramatic; other times simply because the Christians were manly-looking, relatively well-dressed, or on horseback. In the latter case, the rayah would hurry to dismount upon seeing a Janissary, but the latter would draw his pistol and say: “Why did you dismount, you infidel dog? So you could make me ride instead?” And the rayah, Greek Christian, would fall dead.

On December 18, 1803, at Zalongo in Greece, a group of Greek Souliote women jumped from the cliffs, holding their children. They chose death over falling into the hands of Muslims, where they would face rape, abuse, and enslavement.

On March 30, 1822, the Chios Massacre took place. The Muslim Turks slaughtered (Greeks) 42,000 women, men & children. Additionally, 52,000 were sold as slaves in the markets of Smyrna & Constantinople. Young girls were raped publicly in the streets, and newlyweds in front of their husbands, who were then slaughtered. Others were raped in front of their parents, after which the men's genitals were cut off. Women over 40 were set on fire and left to burn alive. Pregnant women had their bellies ripped open and their fetuses pulled out, while small children were thrown forcefully against rocks. The frenzy of the Muslims was unprecedented.

In 1822, Muslims also captured the wives of Zafeirakis and Gatsos. The wife of Zafeirakis was built into the wall up to the neck in the church of Hagia Sophia in Thessaloniki. Maria Karatasou, daughter of a priest refused to change faith, and for this Ebub Lubut enclosed her in a sack with deadly snakes, where she martyred. Pouqueville describes in the darkest colors to the civilized world the dramatic scenes he saw with his own eyes there: "Many women naked were put up to the neck in sacks with cats, snakes, and mice…".

The Greek Christian Woman, during the years when Greece was enslaved to the Muslim Turks, in order to avoid -as much as she could- the abhorrent dishonor from the barbaric Muslims, would destroy the youthful beauty of her face, or create a family from the age of fourteen, believing that she would not give birth to slaves.

On September 1, 1821, Samothrace was devastated by the Ottomans through a general massacre led by the Turkish Kara Ali. Approximately 10,000 men & boys were slaughtered. Women & children were sold in the markets of Constantinople & Smyrna (Holocaust of Samothrace).

On June 4, 1821, the Turks carried out a massacre against the Greeks of Kydonies in Asia Minor (modern-day Ayvalık). They did pogroms at shops and homes, looting them, while seizing women and children to sell as slaves. Simultaneously, they conducted a general massacre of the population, and the town was set ablaze and completely destroyed.

On September 1955 in Constantinople 4,348 Greek businesses, 110 hotels, 27 pharmacies, 23 schools, and 73 churches were damaged or destroyed. The exodus of Greeks from Turkey, reduced the community of over 150.000 (who have already left from the Fall), to fewer than 2.000 today.

Muslims commited GENOCIDES and Islamized the Anatolia, Antioch and Seleucia.

From the Hellenism of the East (Thrace, Asia Minor, Pontus), around a million people were exterminated (1914-1924). In the Pontus region alone, 353,000 people were slaughtered. Because they stole our lands. Smyrna, Aydin, Kydonies, Prousa, Nicaea (Asia Minor region), Trebizond, Kerasounta, Samsounta, Oinoe, Paphra, Ordou, Amaseia (Pontus), provinces of Derkon, Metron, Herakleia, Myriophytou, Kallipoleos, Ainos, Tyrolois, Saranta Ekklision, Adrianople (Eastern Thrace).

I hate Islam with all my heart because I am Greek and because I know my own history.

I strongly suggest that you study my history so you can avoid these atrocities becoming your history too.

Algunas cosas de la final con España:

-El dolor es grande porque la expectativa era grande.
-Pero el orgullo es mayor.
-El pecho ya estaba lleno antes de la final.
-Argentina perdió bien y no suele pasar de forma habitual.
-España fue el protagonista absoluto del juego y es un justo campeón.
-El planteo inicial de Scaloni tuvo una falla: nadie se encargó del 10 de España, Dani Olmo. Se movía libre, recibía y crecían desde ahí.
-Eso provocó, a mi entender, el mayor error del DT: la salida de Nico González en el ET. Era fundamental que ingrese Paredes, pero sacar a Nico metió todavía más atrás al equipo.
-Faltó dinámica en el medio, algo que a España le sobró.
-Argentina no cuidó las pocas pelotas que tuvo.
-Lentos MacAllister, Fernández y De Paul. Paliza del mediocampo español.
-El mejor partido de Dibu en el mundial.
-Paredes y Enzo se pasaron de rosca. Hay errores que a este nivel no podés cometer.
-Lautaro se quedó sin final. Me da mucha bronca y me resulta inentendible, aunque lo pueda explicar desde lo táctico y los lesionados.
-Las lesiones fueron cayendo de manera escalonada y obligó a cambios demasiado temprano.
-Mas allá del desgaste, que se te lesionen los dos centrales titulares es de una mala suerte pocas veces vista.
-Medina y Simeone entraron muy bien.
-Vamos a recordar la última toda la vida, Giuliano.
-Enorme partido de Tagliafico.
-No quiero hablar mas del partido, porque hay otras cosas que me dejó el mundial.
-Menotti, en 2019, dijo: “Es una obsesión que yo tengo: sigo soñando con una selección de la gente. Quiero que nos represente y nos identifique”.
-Se cumplió, Flaco
-Y la vara del éxito, que habitualmente se mide en trofeos, se elevó a otro nivel imposible de imaginar.
-Lionel Messi venció al rival más imbatible de la historia: el tiempo.
-A los científicos: estudien a Messi. Indaguen en su genética. Que sea la fuente de un nuevo Actrón.
-Es muy difícil imaginarte sin la 10, capitán.
- ¿Te acordás cuando en Qatar dijiste “ya está” y no estaba nada?
- ¿Te acordás cuando retiraste al equipo porque le estaban pegando a tu gente en Brasil?
-¿Por qué crees que hoy estamos todos llorando con vos?
-Esta Selección Argentina es una poción que mezcla lo que somos y lo que fuimos.
-Y el alquimista siempre fue Lionel.
-Fuimos privilegiados por verte con esa camiseta. Y mirá que era pesada eh.
-Y si este es el final, que así sea. El mundo no sabrá si detenerse o llover.
-Mientras tanto, nosotros nos quedaremos acá, todos juntos, para contener el dolor por lo inevitable y el silencio que provoca el respeto.
- “No pienses que voy a dejarte. Porque estarás conmigo. Me llevo tu sonrisa tibia, tu mirada errante. Desde ahora en adelante, vivirás dentro de mí”.
-Este mundial demostró que nadie, en su sano juicio, debería querer enfrentarse a un argentino herido.
-No podemos pedirles más nada, muchachos.
-A un pueblo que vive fútbol, que consume fútbol, que sangra fútbol, le pagaron con fútbol. Y con algo más también.
- ¿Cómo va a ser solo fútbol si lograron que los que no miran fútbol lloren de emoción?
- ¿Cómo va a ser solo fútbol si logra que un padre, que carga un dolor imborrable, le lleve con orgullo una bandera a su hijo caído en la guerra?
-Esos chicos representaron a todos, porque en cada una de sus familias, desde chiquitos, hubo una parte de todos.
-Hoy nos tocó perder, pero les puedo asegurar con plena convicción, que vamos a volver.
-Merecer este amor que se ganaron no es para cualquiera, muchachos.
-Gracias por todo y a erguirse vertical, con la frente en alto, más allá del mal, más allá de la caída.
-Porque no es lo mismo que vivir, honrar la vida (y esta camiseta).

To remind everyone what really happened that night:

• They cut off testicles and shoved them into the victims's mouths.
• They stabbed pregnant women in the womb and raped them.
• They beheaded people.
• They gouged people's eyes out.

French authorities worked overtime to keep these details away from the public.

And apparently, the mastermind behind this atrocity will soon walk, because European leaders are cowards and traitors who will never do the right thing.

It’s amazing how many people on this platform have clearly never watched a real negotiation with a terrorist regime or any terrorist entity for that matter. This isn’t sunshine and rainbows. It’s pressure, consequences, and making it unmistakably clear that if the Iranian regime won’t change their ways, they highly risk being ended.

Let’s get something straight, because this keeps getting butchered, the civilization he is talking about ending is the Islamist regime, the assholes that took over 47 years ago and literally ruined the original Persian civilization in Iran that no one in the west seems to ever show empathy for. That distinction shouldn’t be this hard. And no, they shouldn’t be forced to be subservient to terrorists for another 50 years because you with 50,000 followers on some social media echo chamber said so.

While some rush to defend a failed terrorist state, that same regime has been hanging teenagers this whole past week. I’ve seen zero concern over that, they’ve also been sending 12 year olds to be cannon fodder. Spare me the outrage.

And to those immediately spiraling into “this means nuclear war,” please chill and relax a little. All this literally is ending a future nuclear threat. Not every hard-line equals global catastrophe. That’s not how this works. You’ve grown so used to watching terrorist pandering that you don’t even recognize what resolve looks like. The regime are paper tigers let them fold or make a choice that will lead to their ultimate demise.

As Winston Churchill put it, “We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.”
