My speech at the UN Human Rights Council about their recent report on Israel on behalf of the @UNWatch :

I ask the UN, the Arab League, and everyone who had waving the Palestinian flag since October 7:  

Where is the flag of Yemen?

In my country, half a million people have died in the last 10 years.

The biggest famine and humanitarian crisis in modern history.

Why does no one care when half a million Yemenis die?

What about Sudan? In less than two years, more than 150,000 people have been killed.

Where is the Sudanese flag?

What about Syria?

Half a million people were killed.

Where is the Syrian flag?

High Commissioner, why is it that when Arabs kill millions of Arabs, no one bats an eye?

Where is the outrage?

Where are the protests?

High Commissioner, may I ask why your report mentions Israel 188 times — yet fails to mention the Islamic Republic in Iran even once?

How can you speak about the conflict while ignoring the party who armed, trained, and funded the terror proxies — Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis — who have been bombing Israel thousands of times?

Why don’t you mention that the Houthis in Yemen have spent millions of dollars firing missiles at Israel, instead of feeding my starving people?

And why is Qatar sitting here as a member of the Human Rights Council when they host the Hamas terror leaders in luxury hotels?

Their response?

Silence.

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work.

So, let’s get to it. https://t.co/EodmVsbE9o

There are so many great reasons to be on Signal.

Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.

Don’t sleep on this opportunity…

Thousands of Qurans are being burned in honour of Salwan Momika.

29th of January may end up becoming a special day, one that Muslims would hate.

I found the Facebook account of Ahed Azmi Qadi, the @WCKitchen employee who was also a terrorist who participated in the October 7th massacre.

Let's see what he's posted🧵

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

Elon, here you go again making false and completely unfounded accusations without providing any specifics. That’s the kind of response one would expect from a conspiracy theorist. What oligarch? What treason?

Let me help you out with the facts: I don’t take/have never taken money from any money from oligarchs Ukrainian or other otherwise.

I do run a nonprofit foundation. The https://t.co/NG8p90Oe28 to help Ukraine defend itself from Russia’s unprovoked attack on Feb 24, 2022. I served in the military for nearly 22 years and my loyalty is to supporting the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. That’s why I reported presidential corruption when I witnessed an effort to steal an election. That report was in classified channels and when called by Congress to testify about presidential corruption I did so, as required by law.

You, Elon, appear to believe you can act with impunity and are attempting to silence your critics. I’m not intimidated.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

America, this is your next four years, or longer. Oligarchs protected by Trump accusing former public officials of the gravest crimes without evidence or even pretense to provide any. Trial by social media, which of course is owned by said oligarch. Russia in the Wild West 90s.

I'm leaving Twitter. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Threads, if you like.

UNRWA was meant to operate for only two years, providing assistance to 199,000 Arab refugees in the Gaza Strip from the War of Independence and about 500,000 additional individuals registered as war refugees.

A thread 🧵

[עמיחי שיקלי - Amichai Chikli @AmichaiChikli]

Bill Clinton delivered one of the most important speeches I’ve heard on the recent history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Here are the key points from the speech:

Part 1 - October 7:
"I understand why young Palestinian and Arab Americans in Michigan think too many people have died since... I get that.

But if you lived in one of those kibbutzim and in Israel right next to Gaza where the people there were the most pro friendship with Palestine most pro two-state solution of any of the Israeli communities were the ones right next to Gaza and Hamas butchered them..."

[Hussain Abdul-Hussain @hahussain]

Islamist #Iran regime’s Morality Police harassed an Iranian student for not wearing her hijab properly. In defiance, she stripped down to her underwear and walked around.
If this report is true, this lady is braver than whole Middle Eastern nations who have yet to bring down their Islamist regimes.
Do we know her name?

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Kicking a patron out of a restaurant for no reason other than their Jewish ancestry is blatant antisemitism.

No one should be turned away because of their faith. This kind of bigotry has no place in California.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

My heart is shattered… The Islamic Republic has executed Jamshid Sharmahd, a German citizen with a U.S. green card. They abducted him, tore him from his family and life. His daughter, Gazelle Sharmahd, bravely stepped into the fight, becoming her father’s voice. She stood up against the Islamic Republic’s tyranny, against the U.S. and Germany’s appeasement, against the silence and indifference of the world—all to save her father. She fought tirelessly, hoping her love could shield him from their cruelty.

And now, they’ve stolen him forever.

The Islamic Republic understands no language of peace or diplomacy. Their language is that of hostage-taking, execution, assassination, and murder. This is not just one family’s tragedy. It’s a warning to all who believe in justice, and a call to stand up, to end the terror, and to end this cycle of horror and heartbreak.

The Hamas terrorist who led the murder of Israelis in a shelter fleeing the Nova music festival—and who dragged Hersh Goldberg-Polin into Gaza—worked for UNRWA. Israel calls on UNRWA to urgently investigate.

But UNRWA knew. ⬇️

I'm calling to indict @UNLazzarini for war crimes.

[Aviva Klompas @AvivaKlompas]

🔴 #BREAKING The IDF confirms that the terrorist who commanded the attack that led to the abduction of Hersh Goldberg-Polin and other hostages was an @UNRWA employee.

Muhammad Abu Attawi was a Hamas Nukhba Force commander who led the killing and kidnapping of Israelis from a roadside bomb shelter near Kibbutz Re’im on October 7. He had been employed by @UNRWA since July 2022.

La respuesta de Israel ha comenzado. Dios proteja a la Fuerza Aérea de Israel, sus pilotos y aquellos encomendados en la tarea de borrar del mapa al régimen de los Ayatollah. Sin piedad contra las bestias islamistas.

"We're withholding our endorsement because our owner is frightened of government retaliation if Donald Trump wins" is a more forceful and eloquent statement than any newspaper editorial ever written.

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Fighter? lol

This tunnel rat died with stolen money, food, a passport with a UNRWA logo, and a wife carrying a $30,000 purse.

Israel rightly rejected a bogus ceasefire and prosecuted Sinwar into his ignoble and pathetic end. 🇮🇱

🇵🇸 Hilo. Esta foto de gazatíes mostrando las banderas blancas ante las FDI me devuelve a las preguntas de siempre: ¿Es posible la paz con los palestinos? ¿Puede haber una Gaza sin Hamas?

Mucho cuidado con las utopías que ponen en peligro la seguridad. Voy con algunas ideas:
