[Elder of Ziyon 🇮🇱 @elderofziyon]

Off the top of my head, here are three things that @EuroMedHR has accused Israel of doing that is beyond the scientific abilities of everyone else:
1. Transplanting organs from dead Palestinians, dug out of graves, into living Israelis.
2. Creating a weapon that completely vaporizes Palestinians so there is no body left to bury.
3. Training dogs to rape people.

But they have "human rights" in their name so they must be credible. At least enough to be published by the @nytimes.

The Greens can’t be antisemitic because Zack Polanski is a Jew. However, Kemi Badenoch’s Conservatives can be racist and Zia Yusuf’s Reform can be Islamophobic.

I don’t make the rules.

.@zarahsultana I assume this is a different Zarah Sultana MP to the one who was recently filmed clapping along to loudspeaker chants for intifada, on a street in Surrey.

Marches and banners in the UK calling for ‘intifada’ haven’t helped anyone in Gaza. They’ve put anti-semitism at the heart of identity politics and made this country unsafe for Jews. It’s shameful.

Qatar was far more angry when Israel fired one missile at Hamas leaders in its territory than when Iran fired numerous missiles at U.S. troops in its territroy.

What a great U.S. ally.

So leftist think anyone can murder CEOs in the street if they don’t like them but freak out when a murderous dictator gets blown up?

They’re just really bad people.

Piers Morgan tried to silence British lawyer Natasha Hausdorff but her words deserve to be heard everywhere.

She brilliantly dismantled the lies spread by Hamas supporters, exposing how the so-called “anti-Zionist” narrative is nothing more than recycled antisemitism dressed up as activism.

With precision and courage, Natasha tore apart the false accusations of colonialism, apartheid, and genocide showing they’re just modern versions of ancient blood libels against the Jewish people.

Make this speech go viral. Share the truth. Do you think Piers Morgan is being objective or just echoing Hamas’s false narrative?

[Aimen Dean @AimenDean]

On October 7, 2023, Hamas, an authoritarian, Iranian-backed militia that has ruled Gaza for 17 years, launched a carefully planned massacre. It killed 1,200 civilians, and took 250 hostages. It did so with full knowledge that such a move would trigger devastating retaliation. And it did. A brutal, urban war erupted. Tens of thousands have since died, many of them civilians, many of them militants. The war was horrific, tragic, and yes, entirely avoidable.

And yet, within days, hundreds of thousands marched across Western cities, not to denounce the massacre that sparked it all, nor to condemn the authoritarian militia responsible for using civilians as human shields, but to demand an end to what they instantly branded genocide.

By mid-May 2025, London had seen at least 27 mass marches in solidarity with Gaza. One of them numbered over a million people.

In contrast, during the darkest years of the Syrian civil war, when Assad used chemical weapons, barrel bombs, siege warfare, and starvation to subdue his population, London’s largest Syria-related protest peaked at 900 people. Most saw a few dozen.

That contrast tells us something deeply uncomfortable.

It’s not just about numbers. It’s about selectivity, and what it reveals.

Syria:
•650,000 dead
•14 million displaced
•100,000 executed in Sadnaya prison
•150,000 missing
•Genocide by starvation, siege, and sarin gas

And yet, no mass marches. No relentless protests. No weekly hashtags. No demands that the UN or the ICC act “now or else.”

Why?

Because this isn’t about genocide. If it were, Syria alone would have moved the Earth.

This is about something else.

What we are seeing is not solidarity - but a displaced moral fixation. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has become a symbolic canvas onto which all manner of disillusionment, guilt, and anger are projected. It is less about the facts on the ground and more about what the conflict represents.

To the radical left, Israel is a proxy for everything they despise: Western power, capitalism, nationalism, military strength, and in many cases, Jews themselves.

To the Islamists, it is the embodiment of a theological rupture, a state they believe should not exist.

To the bored and chronically online, it is a cause that offers identity, belonging, and purpose.

The result is an emotional obsession with Israel and its perceived sins. Not a principled stand against human suffering, but a ritualized spectacle where moral outrage is directed surgically at a single actor, regardless of the broader context.

And this obsession demands casualties - not for empathy, but for affirmation. The dead become evidence that the world is unjust, that the system must be torn down, that the protestor is on the side of the righteous.

Thus, death becomes currency, and only some deaths are accepted at full value. Syrian deaths are geopolitically inconvenient. Uyghur deaths are economically awkward. Rohingya deaths are logistically distant. But Palestinian deaths - so long as Israel can be blamed - are perfect.

It is why Egypt, which has sealed its border with Gaza and refused to accept refugees, is barely mentioned.
It is why Assad, praised openly by Hamas leaders like Yahya Sinwar, is never held to account in these circles.
It is why Iran, the primary funder and arms supplier of both Assad and Hamas, remains a shadowy afterthought.

We are not witnessing solidarity with Palestinians. We are witnessing a hijacking of their tragedy to service a very different political agenda - one that is less interested in peace or justice, and more interested in purging the West of its sins, real or imagined.

It’s not that these protestors don’t care. It’s that they’ve been trained - by ideology, by social media, by tribalism - to care in highly specific, narrowly sanctioned ways.
Care that flatters their identity.
Care that tells them they are good - because they are angry.

And in that economy of virtue, Gaza is profitable. Syria is not.

The latest inflammatory statements by several ministers, with Israel Katz leading the charge, are yet another example of our greatest curse in this war:

An army with truly phenomenal, unprecedented capabilities, trapped under the command of a clinically incompetent government.

[Anisopoikilocyte @Anisocyte]

There’s an effort to frame this as a basic industrial dispute, when it goes much beyond that.

People have asked questions re why the PA situation has inflamed doctors and why it spills into the pay dispute.

I want to start with explaining PAs compared to doctors’ training:

Israel now faces a brutal choice. It can yield to a manufactured global outcry – or it can stay the course. That will mean withstanding a torrent of diplomatic pressure, media hostility, and moral posturing from capitals far removed from the battlefield.

After years of concern about antisemitism on the Left, many Jews were gaslit and told antisemitism on the Right was the REAL worry. They used Charlottesville and Pittsburgh as proofs, and omitted mentions of Jersey City and Colleyville. 1/

Short🧵
1. For 30 yrs there were no Israeli checkpoints at all, one could drive from Gaza City to Ramallah without stopping. The orchestrated campaign of suicide bombing and other attacks (the 2nd Intifada) changed all that.

[Matti Friedman @MattiFriedman]

Through many tragic rounds of violence in Gaza, I’ve watched much of the press malfunction in similar ways, time after time. For anyone trying to understand current events and coverage, here’s a thread with some of my essays and articles on the subject.
