Just because I follow you doesn't mean I agree with anything you say. I also enjoy intense arguments that really just boil down to semantics. Lawyer of course.

The young man on the left is 19-year-old Shalom Lapid. On the right is Mordechai Lapid, a world famous Jewish refusenik who defeated the Soviet Union and risked his life to leave Russia and come to Israel so he can live as a Jew.

On December 6th 1993 a Palestinian car drove by them and sprayed the family car with bullets. The father Mordechai and his son Shalom died from their wounds, and three other children were injured.

The doctor that arrived on the scene was it close friend of the family; his name was doctor Baruch Goldstein.

After his friend died in his hands, many said Goldstein was deeply traumatized by this event.

Thres months later, on February 25th 1995 Goldstein would carry out the most heinous terrorist attack ever carried out by a Jew. He would shoot Muslim worshipers while they were praying in a mosque in Hebron killing 25 Muslim worshipers and injuring over 100.

Goldstein was very rightfully condemned by every single Jewish organization, rabbi, and the Israeli government.

At no point did ANYONE say that "Goldstein had close family friends who died in his hands after being murdered by Palestinians".

Why? Because there is never an excuse for terrorism.

Seeing so many media outlets whitewash the heinous attack on Temple Israel in Michigan is appalling and a direct continuation of what they have done to legitimize the horrors of October 7th carried out against the Jewish state of Israel.

When Israel targeted a piece of infrastructure in Iran (maybe a data centre) there was articles about how Iranian bots pushing Scottish independence went offline, this is one of them (now back online), and due to the new feature we can all see it now, rather funny tbh.

⭕ Jew hatred is being normalized in America. Vile displays like this don't even bother people anymore. Dark times are ahead of us, and the Jews need to be prepared.

[Dr. Adi Schwartz @Adi_Schwartz]

My initial thoughts on Trump's 21-point plan to end the war, as published in The Times of Israel: (see below)

The most problematic aspect is the immediate start of reconstruction. This would effectively turn the war into just another round of fighting. All the rest - the other clauses stating that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel - are beautiful words that will be dissolved, because no one except Israel has an interest in seeing that happen. Preventing or conditioning reconstruction is the only leverage Israel will have left once the fighting ends.

Therefore, reconstruction must be conditioned upon de-facto changes on the ground. I would demand that in any area where reconstruction begins, there will be no more refugees, no refugee identity cards will be distributed, there will be no refugee camps, and UNRWA will cease to operate. It must be made clear that as part of whatever new authority will govern Gaza, whether temporary or permanent, international or Palestinian - the residents of Gaza have no right to “return” to Israel.

This would be the beginning of the path for the Palestinians toward genuine recognition of Israel. Without a deep change in Palestinian society, Israeli soldiers’ blood will, regrettably, be in vain, and we will all meet again in the next round. If we allow the reconstruction of the Strip without a change in the Palestinian ideology , how can we expect anything to emerge from Gaza but hatred and violence?

All you need to know about the so-called UN report that accused Israel of genocide is that it was written by three ‘independent’ commissioners. The first is Miloon Kothari, a man condemned in 2022 for his blatant antisemitism by the UN Secretary General and every major Western Democratic Country. Even the head of UNHRC called him an antisemite which is akin to being labeled a Jew hater by Joseph Goebbels.

The second of the three ‘independent’ members is Chris Sidoti, a retired left wing Australian lawyer on the council of the Australian Centre for International Justice (ACIJ). They describe Israel as a “settler-colonial apartheid regime” and support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Like Kothari, he was condemned for his blatant antisemitism in 2023.

The third member of the ‘independent’ UNHRC commission that accused Israel of genocide is its Chair, Navi Pillay. A South African ANC activist she has in the past accused Israel of ‘Palestinian organ stealing’, ‘genocide’, ‘targeting children’ and, of course, being an “apartheid regime”.

Her commission, has over the years been labelled a "kangaroo court" by the U.S., UK, Germany, Australia, Italy, and others for its "open-ended mandate" and "disproportionate focus on Israel" amid other global humanitarian crises. Judge for yourself whether she’s independent. Her most recent statements include the following;

“On 7th October 2023 Israel launched its military offensive into Gaza”

“Israel’s military offensive in Gaza amounts to collective punishment, a war crime."

"The occupation is not temporary; it is a permanent regime of domination."

All three resigned in July 2025 in a move designed to avoid the US sanctioning them on account of the transparent weaponisation of the commission against Israel. Those resignations take effect in October which explains the timing of their self described ‘independent report’.

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

You all think this is funny. This isn’t funny. The entire edifice is rotten and failing. The new UN standard for calling a war “genocide” - at least if Jews are involved; they’re not claiming this in Sudan or Ukraine or Yemen - is “knowing not all deaths will be combatants and doing the war anyway.”

By that definition, every war is a genocide. Every. Single. War.

But it’ll still work. The actual argument is irrelevant. No one, no journalist and no scholar and no politician, will bother with the staggering incoherence of this report, with the collapse of international law into pathological stupidity.

The point is the libel. And all the institutions will play their role.

This is that how the world works now.

At least, again, when Jews are involved.

Checking sources is a superpower--you would not believe the stuff people sneak into things.

As one example: the book "Keeping Track" is by far the most influential anti–ability grouping book. Key to its argument is a claimed finding that 90% of students can master course material under the right circumstances to argue that all students should be placed into the same courses.

Where does that footnote - footnote 7 - lead? Benjamin Bloom's "All Our Children Learning." Not to a specific page. Not to a specific note within it. The entire book.

So let's dig in! What does Bloom say?

He notes his belief that around 90% of people differ in rate of learning rather than the level of learning theoretically possible, but that it will take some students more time, effort, and help to reach that level than others (sometimes prohibitively so). Some, he'll note, might take several years on high school algebra, while others can do it in a fraction of a year.

Then he provides suggestions. How do you structure a school so that students can learn at appropriate paces to meet his "90%" goal? He has a few ideas:
1. Give each student an individual tutor.
2. Let students go at their own pace.
3. Guide students towards or away from specific courses.
4. Provide different tracks for different groups of learners.

Did you catch that?

Bloom says: obviously kids learn at different paces, so if you want them to master the material, either let them rush ahead individually or group them by ability. If we do that, everyone's level will improve.

Oakes takes that, strip-mines the entire book down to a claim she paraphrases as "under appropriate learning conditions, more than 90 percent of students can master course material," and then uses it to argue that we should not let kids rush ahead individually or group them by ability.

This book has been cited more than 10000 times. It is by far the most influential single thing ever written on ability grouping. And it cites sources it knows nobody will examine to argue for the polar opposite of what those sources advocate.

Check sources.

@Aizenberg55 One response to intl recognition of Palestinian State: those countries cannot have diplomatic facilities in the territories, and their citizens cannot enter them. Relevant contact with Palestine can take place at the Palestinian embassies in those countries.

[The Professor @ProfFuzzyEars]

@DerekPederson3 Hamas still controls distribution - so merchants pay Hamas to acquire the aid from the UN, which funds Hamas. No matter how much is trucked in, Hamas ensures that it receives payment before the aid is distributed. To avoid this one can provide aid direct, which is what GHF does.

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

If you don’t understand how vile and sad this is, ignore for a moment the “dismantle America” bit and notice what she does to Palestinians. How she thrills to October 7 because “Palestine is the tip of the spear” for her own shtick. Because if Israelis can be scared, then all “colonizers are scared.” And then she herself is powerful, a soldier in a grand anti-colonial struggle, and not just one more anxious, uncomfortably safe dullard with nothing important to actually do or fight for in the empty, grinding treadmill of academia and consumerism.

What if Israelis are just people, and making them fear for their children’s lives is a great way to upend the Middle East and shatter the Palestinian cause for yet another generation? What if Hamas actually and explicitly seeks a genocide, brutally oppresses its own people, has disrupted every peace attempt in forty years, and eagerly and at a strategic scale sacrifices civilians on the altar of a supremacist religious vision? What if ordinary Palestinians don’t want to be the avatars of every ideological peccadillo on campus that promises to fill the echoing void of meaning that is the present-day culture of the West?

This professor thrills to the Gaza war because “Turtle Island” something something. Because her own life is a virtual existence, lived online and in inane academic gobbledygook, and so she assumes the rest of us are virtual too, NPCs in her roleplaying game.

Lonely people have a harder time feeling empathy. It’s hard to think of a sadder, emptier, lonelier person than this casually bloodthirsty little ideologue.

[The Professor @ProfFuzzyEars]

@academic_la Sounds like you are functionally describing a two state solution with strict ethnic segregation, with some vague rhetorical federal blanket encompassing them that would, I imagine, not actually control anything (e.g. army, taxes, foreign policy)

[Adam Ma'anit @adammaanit]

OK, I’ve seen enough of these smug “but Israel has previously cried wolf about Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions” takes (like @jonstewart does here), so let’s debunk this charge: 🧵 /1

[planefag @planefag]

I'm gonna spell this out just once, so people can link this tweet to the knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, shit-eating simian creatures that whine about BoOtS oN tHe GrOuNd as if America's going to conduct a land invasion of Iran with eleventy gorillion troops and fight in the caves for a generation:

Everything that makes Iran a problem comes from a factory, and those factories can be vaporized from the air.

Most US casualties in Iraq were caused by sophisticated off-route EFP mines mass-produced by Iran. The rockets fired at Israel in such massive quantities that it threatened to deplete Israeli Iron Dome interceptor stocks and overwhelm their systems? Mass produced by Iran. The drones and missiles the Houthis used to close the Bab-El-Mandab strait, and thus the Suez canal, one of the most economically vital sea lines of communication in existence? Mass-produced by Iran. The SRBMs being fired at Ukraine by Russia? Mass-produced and delivered to them by Iran. The massive heavy MRBM arsenal they've been attempting to mass-murder Israeli civilians with and have used to threaten and coerce everyone else in the region, reaching as far as southern Europe/Italy? Mass-produced by Iran.

None of this happens without Iranian mass weapon production, many millions of dollars in fiscal support and Iranian military advisors, leadership and intel support. You don't get the kind of problems in that region from six fucking clowns making home-made grenades out of soda bottles, bathtub explosives and rusty nails. Anti-ship ballistic missiles aren't cobbled together by fucking Jihad Cletus in his garage. Blow up the Iranian military-industrial complex, take out their nuclear program, and these problems go away. Forever. And if they try to build them again? You blow them up again.

There isn't a hole deep enough for them to climb in. We built a massive, 30,000 pound bunker-busting bomb to make doubly god-damned sure of it. There is never, at any possible point in time, any fucking reason whatsoever to put a single god-damned fucking "boot" on the "ground" in Iran.

Every single "Forever War" in the Middle East is caused and perpetuated by Iran, and the only consequences for us ending it would be a three percent bump in Lockheed Martin stock.

And that is *fucking it.*
