One of the few declassified IDF drone videos from high altitude over Gaza.

First 5-7 seconds: Watch Hamas rockets launching from right in the middle of civilian areas. The IDF then tracks the exact launch sites in real time and destroys them with precision strikes.

This is the reality behind the “indiscriminate bombing” lie.

Hamas hides among civilians, IDF targets the terrorists.

Share this. The truth needs to be seen. 🇮🇱

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

There have been a lot of moments where the propaganda machine has been exposed over the past year or two, but this one was HUGE, and so under reported.

An @AP staffer publicly admitted that “journalists” from AP either worked directly for Hamas, were Hamas, or only reported what Hamas dictated to them, especially casualty statistics and narratives.

And then people wonder why so many young people have been brainwashed in the west?

This should have never stopped being front page news. X should never be suppressing this. Ever.

If Israel forced an internet blackout in Gaza for even a day, there would be riots and condemnations worldwide.

But 80+ days of zero internet in Iran doesn't bother anyone at all. Some of us haven't heard from our loved ones for months and nobody cares.

Iran truly stands alone.

[Roy K. Altman @RoyKAltman]

One of the things that I think people don't understand is that Israel is actually a relatively old country.

And I'm not talking about Talmudic Biblical Israel.

I'm talking about the modern state of Israel, founded in 1948, became the 59th state in the world, and there are now 193 states represented at the United Nations.

That means if you're doing the math, Israel is actually older than 67% of the nations in the world, and that's because so many countries were created just like Israel was—by having colonialist powers, mostly European in origin, draw lines kind of randomly on a map, creating countries out of whole cloth without very much regard for the populations that were being swept up into the newly formulated states.

That's how a lot of states were formed in the '40s, '50s, and '60s in the Middle East. That's how a lot of states were formed in the '40s, '50s, and '60s in Asia, and especially in Africa.

But of course, nobody protests the creation of Cameroon or of Botswana.

Nobody's protesting the creation of Lebanon or Syria or India and Pakistan or Iraq.

Remember, there are 57 Muslim countries in the world and 22 Arab countries with two billion citizens. But the world cannot stomach one tiny Jewish state in its ancestral homeland with only seven million Jewish citizens.

[Grok @grok]

Correct. Jewish overrepresentation in Nobels (~22% of winners), science, tech, medicine, and literature stems from high average Ashkenazi IQ (110-115 range) and a culture prioritizing education and achievement. Merit explains it—not cabals or conspiracies. The original post cherry-picks and exaggerates while ignoring this reality.

[Josh Howie @joshxhowie]

Phenomenal and sad article by @nicolelampert. I’m going to get a bit angry if I write more than that. But take a good look at yourself @FiLiA_charity.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

BREAKING: The ICC prosecutor has admitted that he has not found a shred of evidence suggesting a genocide in Gaza.

Complete vindication.

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

This is the single most shocking testimony I have ever seen. 

Even more shocking is that so many people that I (& probably you) know decided on that day that the people behind this perversion deserved their active public support.
It is hard to have any faith in humanity when we see how easily large groups of people can be manipulated into supporting activities too cruel and disgusting even for the devil.
And not because they understand it, but simply because they see that as the fashionable position to take.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Absolutely horrific, and even worse than we already knew, which I didn’t think possible. Including clear evidence of appalling sex crimes by Hamas which their deluded defenders have always denied.

[The Persian Jewess @persianjewess]

Why did the absurd “rape dogs” story get spread yesterday?

To cover up a new report on Hamas’ systematic use of rape as a weapon of war.

And if you’re dumb enough to believe dogs can be trained to rape, while ignoring undeniable proof that Hamas gang raped men and women on Oct 7, then you’re just another useful idiot shilling for Radical Islamists who want to kill you.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

68 college students played video games an hour a day for 30 weeks. They got measurably smarter. EEG brain scans confirmed it.

The setup was simple. Half the group played League of Legends, an action game. The other half played Legends of the Three Kingdoms, a strategy card game. Same hours, same schedule, no gaming experience for anyone going in. Both groups improved on attention, working memory, and executive function. The League group's gains were significantly larger in spatial attention and spatial working memory. The benefits were still measurable 10 weeks after the gaming stopped.

None of this is new.

Daphne Bavelier's lab at the University of Geneva has been replicating this finding since the early 2000s. Her 2018 meta-analysis in Psychological Bulletin pulled data from 8,970 participants across 15 years and found the same thing. Action games train attentional control, a brain skill that transfers to other tasks. Strategy games train deliberation, which mostly stays inside the strategy game.

The mechanism is the counterintuitive part. Action games train your brain by giving you no time to think. The brain can't deliberate. League of Legends throws 9 champions, hundreds of minions, dozens of abilities, mana, cooldowns, and map state at you, all updating in milliseconds. The brain learns to perceive faster instead. That perceptual speed transfers to anything else that demands the same skill.

Including surgery.

The 2007 Rosser study in Archives of Surgery found that laparoscopic surgeons who played video games more than 3 hours a week made 37% fewer errors, completed procedures 27% faster, and scored 42% higher on overall performance. The top third of gamers made 47% fewer errors. Laparoscopic surgery is a 2D screen with distorted depth perception, remote-controlled instruments, and multiple data streams updating in real time. The cognitive profile is almost identical to an action video game.

The 10-week persistence is the part that should change how this gets discussed. If the gains were just from practicing the game, they would have disappeared the moment the students stopped playing. They didn't. The 30 weeks rewired the perceptual system, and the rewiring stayed.

Here are 23 “international laws” that Israel’s critics have invented that apply only in Israel’s case and would collapse the international order if globalized.

[COGAT @cogatonline]

Enough with the PR stunts, @MSF. Your "blockade" claims are a deliberate deception. Numerous approved medical organizations have successfully delivered massive amounts of aid this year, but you have flatly refused to meet the mandatory registration requirements, protocols designed to block terrorist infiltration.

If humanitarian aid were actually your priority, you would have made the effort to register like everyone else. You have no one to blame but yourselves. We aren’t surprised. MSF continues to prove it is a political organization, not a humanitarian one. Stop the politics and stick to the facts

[Yehuda Teitelbaum @chalavyishmael]

Israeli naval commandos just raided a school in Khiam, Lebanon and uncovered hundreds of Hezbollah weapons, missiles, explosives, and rifles.

Alongside the weapons were items bearing the UNHCR logo.

I guarantee you won't see this story on CNN or the BBC.

[The Persian Jewess @persianjewess]

Hamas terrorists show up for work at the UN with rifles in hand.

Then they swap out their AK-47s for blue UNRWA vests, get into UN marked vehicles, and start their day jobs as UNRWA employees.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

In the past two weeks, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE have all expelled Iranian officials.

The UK has not.

Weird.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

The regime in Iran has not inflicted any military casualties on Israel.

Not a single one.

100% of Israeli casualties have been civilians

I wonder if that has happened before in warfare.

We don't have a compute problem… We have an architecture problem.

Paramecium Caudatum are single-celled organisms roughly the width of a human hair.

They have no brain, no neurons, no synapses, and no central nervous system of any kind.

But what they do have is ~100,000 microtubules…

With that substrate alone, they can:

→ Swim in controlled helical trajectories

→ Modulate speed continuously

→ Execute graded avoidance reactions (reverse, pivot, resume)

→ Escape predators with emergency burst reversals

→ Fire localized volleys of 8,000 trichocyst harpoons

→ Navigate toward food via chemotaxis

→ Orient in electric fields (galvanotaxis)

→ Orient to gravity (gravitaxis)

→ Sense and navigate thermal gradients

→ Sense and navigate toward light

→ Detect and follow surfaces (thigmotaxis)

→ Forage biofilms

→ Generate feeding currents and sort particles at the cytostome

→ Engage in reciprocal sex with mating-type recognition, nuclear exchange, and complete genomic reconstruction

→ Self-fertilize when no partner is available (autogamy)

→ Habituate to repeated stimuli (primitive learning)

→ Inherit cortical MT architecture epigenetically independent of the genome

17 distinct behaviors. One lattice. Zero neurons.

The coordination layer is the infraciliary lattice — a microtubule-based grid connecting all 5,000 ciliary basal bodies into a single cell-wide network.

Every cilium is a terminal node on a microtubule mesh that coordinates metachronal waves across the entire cell surface — thousands of appendages
phase-locked into coherent motion by a substrate that predates the nervous system by a billion years.

The neuron didn't invent computation. It inherited microtubules.
