24/ What makes the "Nakba" unique is only that it was never allowed to resolve. Arab states reject Israel’s legitimacy because its Jewish. International bodies such as UNRWA helped entrench a system where the conflict remained permanently alive rather than settled.

End.

France is a society that never recovered from leaving it all on the field to stop Germany in WW1.

Britain is a society that never recovered from holding the line (single-handedly, for a year) against Nazis in WW2.

Germany murder-suicided the European branch of the West.

This real-time 1948 article from The Economist completely destroys the modern “Nakba” narrative that was invented decades later as political propaganda.

Straight from British eyewitnesses in Haifa, October 2, 1948:

“Jewish authorities urged all Arabs to remain in Haifa and guaranteed them protection and security ... However, of the 62,000 Arabs who formerly lived in Haifa, not more than 5,000 or 6,000 remained.

The most potent factor was the announcements made over the air by the Arab Higher Executive, urging the Arabs to quit ... those who remained and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades.”

They didn’t flee because of “Zionist ethnic cleansing.”
They fled because Arab leaders ordered them to get out of the way so their armies could “drive the Jews into the sea.”

Then they lost the war they started — and spent the next 77 years rewriting history to blame the Jews.

The “Nakba” you were taught? Pure revisionist fiction.

If your nose is stuffed, try humming at 130 Hz with your mouth closed.

Google 130 Hz and play the video and then approximate the tune.

If your nose is so stuffed that nothing comes out, open your mouth as little as possible to be able to get a hum out. Hum this way until you can close your mouth.

Then keep humming with your mouth closed.

Stop if your nose gets runny.

The logic here is that you will get a 15-fold increase in local nitric oxide that can loosen up the stuffiness.

Report back here with your results👇

Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn't misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn't agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover. They're not broken. They're calibrated differently. They don't avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it's deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn't mean loneliness. It means higher standards. That's not antisocial behavior. That's emotional intelligence.

In 1705, an Irish woman named Marjorie McCall fell gravely ill with a fever in Lurgan, Ireland. Believing she had died, her family hastily buried her to prevent the spread of contagion. Her husband, John McCall, a local physician, had been unable to remove her valuable ring because her finger was badly swollen — a detail that soon attracted the attention of grave robbers.

That same night, body snatchers dug up the fresh grave. Unable to pull the ring from her finger, they began cutting it off. The sudden flow of blood shocked the still-living Marjorie out of her deep coma. She sat upright in the coffin and screamed, terrifying the robbers, who fled and reportedly never returned to their grim trade.

Covered in dirt and still wearing her burial clothes, Marjorie climbed out of the grave and walked home. When she knocked on the door, her husband John, still in mourning, jokingly remarked that if his wife were alive, he would swear it was her at the door. Upon opening it and seeing Marjorie standing before him — alive, bleeding, and in her shroud — he collapsed from shock and died on the spot.

John McCall was later buried in the grave originally dug for his wife.

Marjorie survived the ordeal, eventually remarried, and had several children. When she died many years later, she was laid to rest in Shankill Cemetery in Lurgan. Her headstone famously reads:

“Lived Once, Buried Twice.”

I stand with Jews. And I stand with policemen kicking attempted killers of Jews in the head.

Are Chinese people in Britain chased down the street for what Beijing does to Uighurs? Are Russians here hunted for Ukraine? Are Afghans attacked over how women are treated back home? No. But Jews are singled out, blamed, and targeted for Israel. The hypocrisy isn’t even subtle.
