You mean like Britain imported you, Mehdi? The hate preacher who called non-Muslims cattle. Who compared gays to paedophiles. Who was fired from every platform. Who called 250,000 raped British girls bullshit. You want to talk about mistaken imports?

You are not a journalist. You are a hate preacher who fled to America because Britain saw through you. Now you squat on the platform built by the South African you despise, spewing poison you would not dare say to a room full of parents in Rotherham.

The trenches are open. Step in.

The truth will bury you so completely that you will have no choice but to slither away into obscurity. Just like your failed TV shows. MSNBC. The Intercept. Every platform that touched you died. You are poison. You are misery with a microphone.

Keep spreading your shit. I will be right behind you.

The Subtext: What Mehdi Means

Mehdi says: "The biggest mistake was importing this racist South African."

Mehdi means: I am furious that I cannot control him. I am furious that he owns the platform I need. I am furious that he amplifies the truth I spent my career burying. I call him racist because I have no other word. I call for his deportation because I wish I could deport his voice. I am jealous of his success. I am terrified of his reach. I am a failed journalist attacking a successful entrepreneur because he exposed me as the liar I am.

You’re about to be introduced to a statistical concept you are pretending to not understand

[Christian @InTheTrenchesUK]

Mehdi Hasan says we are "too dumb to understand" that we should care about absolute numbers, not which community rapes more.

Let me make this simple for you, Mehdi. So simple even you can understand.

The white Christian rapists were arrested. The Pakistani Muslim rapists were protected. By people like you. Who called critics racist. Who called victims liars. Who created the climate where 250,000 girls could be raped while police looked away.

We are not hiding behind statistics. We are exposing your cover-up. The statistics prove the cover-up. The disproportionate rates prove the protection. The silence proves the complicity.

You say "tell the victims their suffering doesn't matter." We are telling the victims we believe them. You are telling them to shut up because naming their rapists is Islamophobia.

You are not defending victims. You are defending rapists. You are not anti-racist. You are pro-rape. You are not a journalist. You are an accessory after the fact.

The day you acknowledge Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs exist, you will have credibility. Until then, you are just a man who called 250,000 raped girls liars, screaming into the void, wondering why no one believes you anymore.

You exposed yourself. We just wrote it down.

[Dan Senor @dansenor]

Mr @NYCMayor — You have accused @danielsgoldman of supporting a genocide and working with “monsters” to destroy our democracy. These are not respectful “political disagreements about some of his votes.” You use very specific rhetoric that has very dangerous effect. If it really is just a matter of “disagreements on votes,” you would tone down the rhetoric.

Dear U.S., UN, Western, and humanitarian officials and leaders: Please visit the Al‑Ahli Hospital in Gaza City and see the situation firsthand. Hamas’s intelligence operatives, internal security, and al‑Qassam fighters are using parts of the complex to interrogate and torture anyone they suspect of supporting the upcoming June 26 anti‑Hamas protests. Medical facilities in Gaza are not meant to be sanctuaries for Hamas. They are provided with necessary supplies and equipment, funded with Western taxpayer dollars, to treat civilians, not to provide cover for an Islamist organization that the international community designates as a terrorist group. Get them out of the hospital. Stop allowing a place meant for healing to be turned into a site of fear and abuse.

Please meet Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Mamdani-endorsed DSA candidate for Congress:

A self-proclaimed communist born in Florida to Dominican (or Haitian, it’s not clear) immigrant parents, she converted to Islam claiming that Palestine is the most important issue in her life.

Said she uses the American flag as a napkin.

Attended a rally one day after October 7 celebrating the slaughter of Israeli civilians.

Calls white women ‘ugly colonizers.’

Called for the defunding the police and abolishing prisons.

Said not a single deportation, including of criminals, is justified.

Hates the police calling them ‘pigs’, calls U.S. service members war criminals and says the U.S. is a disgrace of a country.

She’s only running in NY because she knows she wouldn’t stand a chance in Florida.

Do you really think someone like this has the best interests of Americans in mind?

This is an antizionist outside Parliament yesterday wearing a T-shirt with plane hijacker Leila Khaled on. The ‘debate’ about Israeli influence on UK politics inspired this. Actual terrorist supporters.

How is this allowed on your platform, @elonmusk and @nikitabier?

[S Sebag Montefiore @simonmontefiore]

Today an observer might notice several signs of the crisis in British democracy and in the civil societies of the West played out in London: this morning, a prime minister is deposed just two years after his election to make way for the seventh First Lord of the Treasury in ten years, one of whom he know little. This afternoon, our great parliament is scheduled to seriously debate a motion that seems to echo the darkest recesses of anti-Jewish conspiracism.

Just over a century ago, operatives of the Okhranka, the secret police of Russian Tsar Nicholas II, forged a manifesto that they called the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which they had plagiarized from pamphlets published in 19thcentury France and Germany, and which promoted an antisemitic conspiracy that a clique of Jews were wickedly conspiring to control Western societies using secret power and money. The Protocols were believed by the Tsar himself to be real – after he was overthrown by the Bolsheviks, he sought explanations for his downfall – and soon after they were published across the Western world – until The Times of London revealed the astonishing story of the forgery. Nonetheless they were translated into German and other languages – promoted by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis during the Third Reich – while in the 1920s the book was translated into Arabic where it was propagated by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and widely believed, later quoted in Hamas’s 1988 Charter wherein Article 32 declares: "Their (the Jewish people’s) scheme has been laid out in the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion,' and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying.”

Today E-Petition 752646 which has attracted 118,000 signatures and is scheduled for debate, is somewhat concerning because its careful wording has echoes of conspiracy theories under the guise of a scrutiny of lobbying and public debate that seems to propose witch-hunts and purity tests that have no place in British society.

The petition might be reasonable if a vast and powerful state was clearly influencing British life in a campaign of subterfuge, bribery and espionage and it proposed an investigation of malign state actors. This happens to be true of Russia, China and Iran at this moment and hopefully we are investigating those bad actors. But this petition claims to be …“concerned about reported Israeli state-linked and pro-Israel lobbying activity in UK politics…” I have no problem with criticism of Israeli government policy being a critic myself - but the call for an investigation “to determine the scope” and “scrutinise how pro-Israel organisations, networks, and lobbying efforts may shape government decisions, party policy, and public debate” is alarming because beneath its framing in the familiar language of balanced inquiry and human rights lurks the hint of hidden networks or control of politics and public opinion that echo historic antisemitic narratives and of course the world conspiracy and cosmic evil of the Protocols of the Elders.

The idea of investigating (‘scrutinizing’) British people who either have relationships with a longstanding European ally and fellow liberal democracy or its citizens in any field, political commercial artistic academic scientific military or even social, or those who wish to hold free opinions and make judgements without the menace of an ideological witch hunt is concerning. After all most countries in the world have some institutional and personal relationships in other countries without allegations of secret influence. But the petition drops its mask when it ominously mentions ‘public debate’.

So what 'public debate' would be ‘scrutinized’? Against whom could this ‘scrutiny’ be aimed and who would do the ‘scrutinizing’? It would certainly cast a shadow over beleaguered British Jews for a start but also the many British people who have the right to those views available to everyone in our civil society and liberal democracy and yes public debate. In an age when everyone is anti-racist and all public discourse is couched in terms of universal anti-racism and human rights, it has been clear for some time that we need to be wary of intolerance and ideological racism itself masked by exactly this jargon. It is one of the reasons that I argue that we need to evolve a much more focused definition of what now constitutes antiJewish hatred and a new vocabulary to confront it.

Therefore this debate is a sign of our times, an alarming one but it is also an important test of the Government’s and parliamentarians’ commitment to tackling antisemitism and extremism and a chance to make clear that conspiracy theories about control of political life and public opinion have no place in public discourse. Following the recent summit on antisemitism, the Prime Minister pledged that “tackling antisemitism requires sustained leadership, accountability and resolve.” I have no doubt that our admirable Parliamentarians will use this opportunity not to legitimize or amplify such calumnies but to challenge them directly, to maintain the respect for facts and truth that are essential to our success. I hope they will acknowledge the risks posed by the petition’s framing, and reaffirm that antisemitic conspiracies and purity witch hunts (sorry, ‘scrutiny’), regardless of how they are packaged, have no place in British politics and society.

[Naftali Bennett נפתלי בנט @naftalibennett]

שוחחתי עד שתיים לפנות בוקר עם חיילים ומפקדים שנמצאים כרגע בלבנון או יצאו ביממה האחרונה, והנה העובדות מהשטח:
1. החיילים רואים בעין מחבלי חיזבאללה מתבססים מחדש, מתקנים תשתיות, מתחמשים וחוזרים לפעול, ואסור לחיילים שלנו לפתוח עליהם באש.

2. הם רואים מחבלים מתצפתים על חיילי צה״ל (!) עם משקפת, ואסור להם לירות.

3. החלטות שפעם נסגרו בהחלטה של מ”פ בשטח, דורשות היום אישור אלוף. בגלל הסירבול הזה גם כשרואים מחבל רץ עם טיל כתף ממקום למקום, לא מחסלים אותו כי עד שמגיע אישור הוא כבר נעלם.

4. ⁠האויב מבין את המגבלות ומנצל את זה להתבססות מהירה שתביא לפגיעה בחיי חיילינו.

5. ⁠מטוסי חיל האוויר הפסיקו לחלוטין לפעול.

6. ⁠היו ארועים עם פצועים, וזה דרש חילוץ עם הפעלת מעטפת אש מסיבית. לא הפעילו אש מסיבית בזמן החילוץ, וזה הביא לפגיעה בחיילים שלנו.

כשנתניהו וישראל כץ פרסמו אתמול ב23:00 בלילה שלצה״ל יש חופש פעולה בלבנון - הם לא אמרו אמת.
זה לא נכון.
האמת היא שידי הבנים שלנו בלבנון קשורות.

זו תמונת המצב מהשטח ברגעים אלה ממש.

זאת הפקרות.
אין דבר כזה לשלוח את הבנים שלנו מול מחבלי חיזבאללה עם ידיים קשורות!

תשחררו עכשיו, ברגע זה, את ידי החיילים שלנו!

I have also spoken to Israeli soldiers on the ground in Lebanon and discussed Bennett’s observations with them. Their response: “Spot on.”

Bennett is correct.

Who do you include in the “you guys” category? Do all ≈960,000 Jewish NYC residents qualify as “monsters”?

And for those of us “monsters,” is there a methodology to determine who gets the incitement treatment vs the low-key coffee shop denial?

Surreal headline, amazing that this even needed to be done.

This was never a left vs right issue but a battle for common sense. And common sense won.
