While the UN shamelessly serves Hamas by demonizing Israel and the Jewish people, remember this brutal moment.

During an emergency session of the Human Rights Council, a circus packed with the world’s worst tyrants and abusers, absolute panic broke out among Palestinian UN staffers.

British Colonel Richard Kemp destroyed their lies in real time.
He refused to accept the disgusting false narrative that paints Israel as the “Islamophobic aggressor” and Hamas baby-killers, rapists, and murderers as the poor “victims.”

This was a rare and glorious takedown: one honest British colonel stood alone and silenced the entire hall of hypocrites, the same people who cheer Hamas’s slaughter of Jews, then scream “genocide” the moment Israel dares to defend its citizens.
The absurdity is breathtaking.

The UN doesn’t care about human rights. It exists to protect terrorists and blood-libel the Jewish state.

BREAKING from @Jerusalem_Post: A Palestinian man from Gaza has formally demanded that the International Criminal Court investigate 14 Hamas leaders for crimes committed against Palestinians.

The man lost his wife, children, and other family members during the war in Gaza. He argues that if Hamas had not committed war crimes against Palestinians, particularly the crime of using civilians as human shields, his family and countless other Gazans would still be alive.

War crimes and crimes against humanity listed in the submission include using civilians as human shields, attacking civilians, causing great suffering, destruction of property, excessive incidental death, injury, or damage, conscripting children, murder, extermination, torture, persecution, and more.

The Hamas leaders named in the submission are Izz al-Din al-Haddad, Khaled Mashaal, Mahmoud al-Zahar, Mohammed Odeh, Muhannad Rajab, Khalil al-Hayya, Mousa Abu Marzook, Ghazi Hamad, Izzat al-Rishq, Fathi Hamad, Nizar Awadallah, Husam Badran, Zaher Jabarin, and Basem Naim.

For decades, innocent Palestinians have paid the price for Hamas's genocidal war against Israel. They deserve justice.

The submission was filed on behalf of the Gazan man by American attorneys @ElliotMalin and Eli Rosenbaum and French attorney @sarah_scialom.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for mainstream media outlets to explain the contradictions in their Gaza reporting.

How do you reconcile claims of famine and starvation with a mass marathon being held in the same territory?

The genocide narrative is fading as the truth comes to light, the world has been sold a carefully curated version of events.

The reporting on Gaza stands as some of the most expensive propaganda ever pushed.

New UK screen time rules just dropped — and they’re stricter than most parents expected.

From 27 March 2026, England says: zero solo screens for under-2s (except quick video calls with family), and max one hour a day for 2–5 year olds — no screens at meals or the hour before bed. Co-view everything, stick to slow-paced content, and ditch fast social-media clips and AI toys completely.

The science is sobering: toddlers’ brains process info up to 10 times slower than adults. Fast-paced screens push them into fight-or-flight mode — racing heart, surging energy — while they’re sitting still. Researchers at the University of East London say this mismatch can wire kids for more tantrums and emotional struggles later. Using screens to calm meltdowns? It often backfires long-term.

As a parent, it’s brutal — we all know that explosion the second you take the tablet away.

But this feels like evidence finally catching up with what our gut has been telling us.

How are you handling screens with little ones — strict limits, co-viewing, or mostly winging it?

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

Well that ends the debate on deaths in Gaza.

Hamas itself is admitting that 80% of casualties were combatants.

There was never a genocide.

You have been lied to and manipulated.

Absolute panic erupted among Palestinian UN staffers during this brutal takedown by British Colonel Richard Kemp.

He refused to play along with the disgusting false narrative that paints Israel as the evil “Islamophobic aggressor” and Palestinian-Muslim terrorists as poor “victims” of oppression.
This was a rare historic moment at the UN: one honest British colonel stood up and silenced the entire room of hypocrites who cheer Hamas’s baby-killing, rape, and murder of Jews — then scream “genocide” the second Israel defends its people.

The sheer absurdity of UN bureaucrats losing their minds when someone dares to tell the truth about Islamic terror is peak clown world. Colonel Kemp spoke facts they can’t handle.

Share this widely. The world needs more voices like his.

[Troy Black @AuthorTroyBlack]

I used to consider myself a moderate supporter of Israel.

But not anymore.

I started listening to those who bring constant criticisms against Israel, and the more I listened and researched, the more I started to recognize a pattern.

Some of the criticism was factual and necessary. But much of it was based on exaggeration or untruths.

Even the most famous viral photo of the emaciated child in Gaza...the media quietly later admitted to be based on false information.

I kept listening, thinking, "If they are so passionately against Israel, they must know something I don't."

Then, it finally hit me. The thread tying it all together was not a love for people or the truth, but rather a deep seeded hatred of Israel.

So, now I'm not as moderate as I used to be. Those speaking the loudest against Israel have caused me to be more extreme in my support for Israel. Not because Israel is perfect, but because of justice. From what I can see, they get more unjustly attacked than any culture or nation alive today.

With that being said, I am also a supporter of truth and justice for all people and nations. Whatever level of injustice is being done against Palestinian civilians, I want it to stop. But whatever injustice is being done against the Jews, I want it to stop too.

Truly loving people does not mean picking and choosing who we love. It means letting go of our hatred and offense and being willing to lay our own lives down for the sake of others.

"Why does our top performer get the worst reviews?" the boss asked.

I was reviewing their annual performance data.

"Show me," I said.

She pulled up the ratings.
Diana: 2.8 out of 5.
Below average on "collaboration."
Low marks for "team player."

"What's her actual performance?" I asked.

"Exceeded every target.
Landed our biggest client.
Trained three new hires."

"So why the low scores?"

"Her peer reviews are dragging her down."

I scanned the comments.
"Too direct."
"Challenges ideas too much."
"Not supportive enough."

"Let me talk to Diana," I said.

"I used to give honest feedback," Diana told me.
"Said our pricing model was broken.
Got dinged for 'negativity.'"

"What happened with the pricing?"

"They finally fixed it six months later.
After we lost two major accounts."

"What else?"

"I questioned why we needed
eleven approvals for a simple contract change.
Manager said I wasn't being collaborative."

"Are you still giving feedback?"

"No. I learned my lesson.
Now I smile. Nod. Say everything's great.
My reviews are improving."

"But nothing's actually improving?"

"We're making the same mistakes.
Just with better vibes." She chuckled.

I went back to the boss.

"Your review system doesn't measure performance," I said.
"It measures compliance."

"That's not true."

"When was the last time someone
got promoted for challenging bad ideas?"

Silence.

"When did someone get rewarded for preventing a mistake?"

More silence.

"You've trained your best people to stay quiet.
And your mediocre people to stay nice."

A few months later, they redesigned the system.

Added a category: "Constructive Challenge."
Points for identifying problems early.
Rewards for preventing costly mistakes.

Diana got promoted.

"What changed?" I asked the boss.

"We stopped confusing agreement with alignment.
Stopped mistaking silence for harmony."

"And?"

"Turns out our 'difficult' people
were our most valuable.
They actually cared enough to speak up."

Here's the truth about performance reviews:

Most companies don't reward performance.
They reward performance theater.

The person who says the meeting was great
beats the person who says it wasted an hour.

The person who agrees with bad ideas
beats the person who prevents disasters.

You think you're measuring contribution.
You're measuring conformity.

And your best people?
They've already figured out the game.

They're just deciding whether to play it
or find somewhere that values truth over comfort.

@Iffybiker @Quietdespairing @DovForman It has been commemorated different ways in schools I have taught in. One collapsed the timetable for the day & had activities each lesson - guest speakers, worksheets, video activities, debates, assemblies etc. Another just used history lessons for the week.

[Dov Forman @DovForman]

This year, Holocaust Memorial Day, on the 27 of January, will pass quietly in hundreds of British schools.

Not because the Holocaust is no longer relevant, and not because it is no longer important, but because too many educators now fear the reaction it might provoke, from parents in their communities and even from colleagues in their own staff rooms. According to new figures released by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, the number of schools marking Holocaust Memorial Day has more than halved since October 7.

That fact alone should trouble us deeply. It is a stain on this country.

Holocaust Memorial Day exists to remember the six million Jewish men, women and children who were systematically murdered for no reason other than that they were born Jewish. It is not a political gesture. It is not a commentary on today’s conflicts. It is an act of human memory, and a moral one at that. When we begin to treat remembrance as something that must be justified, balanced or quietly avoided, we reveal how fragile our commitment to it has become.

My great-grandmother, Lily Ebert, survived Auschwitz. For decades of her life, she devoted herself to speaking to people all over the world about what she had witnessed and endured in what she called “hell on earth.” She answered their questions, listened to their fears, and tried to explain, with remarkable strength and gentleness, how ordinary societies slide into extraordinary evil. When she said “never forget,” she did not mean “unless it becomes uncomfortable.”

The Holocaust did not begin with gas chambers and death camps. It began with words. With lies. With the spread of conspiracy theories. With the slow normalisation of hatred. With the othering of Jewish people. With people deciding that certain lives mattered less than others. And, crucially, with silence, with decent people looking away because it felt easier than speaking up.

This is precisely why Holocaust education matters. It teaches young people where prejudice leads when left unchallenged, how democracies corrode from within, and what happens when lies become louder than truth. My great-grandmother always believed that education was the solution, that knowledge could be a shield against hatred.

But what happens when education itself becomes the problem?

What we are seeing now is that the sharp rise in antisemitism is not happening despite decades of Holocaust education, but in part because so much of it was never truly believed in to begin with. For too many academic institutions and teachers, Holocaust remembrance and education about anti-Jewish racism became a tick-box exercise, something done because it had to be done, not because it was understood, valued or defended. It was procedural, not principled. Now, when that education becomes inconvenient, when it carries social cost, when it risks controversy, when those teachers have an excuse and a reason not to teach it, it is quietly dropped. And that tells us everything.

At a time when antisemitism is at its highest level in decades, and becoming increasingly violent, we should be strengthening Holocaust education, not retreating from it.

Too many teachers are being forced into silence by pressure from their communities and from colleagues. They are being told they must “balance” Holocaust remembrance with unrelated political narratives, as though the murder of six million Jews requires qualification, as though Jewish suffering must now come with footnotes.

Soon, there will be no survivors left. No living witnesses. Only last week, we lost Harry Olmer, a Holocaust survivor who endured multiple Nazi forced-labour and concentration camps. He was a personal hero of mine. I travelled to Poland with him in 2023 and heard his story first-hand. Soon, there will be no one left who can say, simply, “I was there.”

When that moment comes, all that will remain is what we chose to teach.

If we allow Holocaust education to wither now, at precisely the moment antisemitism is rising, distortion is spreading, and Jewish students increasingly report feeling unsafe, then we are not just failing the past. We are betraying the future. Because history does not repeat itself. People do.

And when we abandon the responsibility to teach our children the past with truth and integrity, we abandon the future too. If we teach children that history can be set aside when it becomes uncomfortable, we teach them something far more dangerous than any lesson about the past, we teach them that moral clarity is negotiable.

That is a lesson no school should ever impart.

It turns out “human rights activists” struggle with two things: Basic English and simple math.

Israel was at war with Hamas for over two years. About 60,000 people tragically died, many of them Hamas fighters.

That’s called a war. In wars, people die.

It is tragic.

And it is labelled by the activists: Genocide.

Iran, not at war, saw over 12,000 deaths in two weeks.

Do the math.

Stretch that rate over two years...and the numbers explode.

So at the same rate, that would be roughly 624,000 people over two years...

Iranians are dying at a rate 10 times that of Gazans.

In a situation that is not even a war!

And yet...no cries of genocide.

No protests.

No hashtags.

No red carpet pins.

No cases at the ICJ.

When the numbers don’t fit the narrative, the calculators go away, the dictionaries close...

Which tells us everything we need to know.

If mass death without Jews involved does not trigger protests, tribunals, or headlines, then this was never about genocide or justice.

It’s a performance.

Israel is the stage, Jews are the prop, and “human rights” is just the costume they put on to feel righteous.

🇮🇷 This is how an Iranian girl, a follower of Zoroastrianism, explains everything "on her fingers":

🔴"Hello, I am Iranian.
Everyone keeps asking the same question over and over: what's wrong with the leftists? Why are they so noisy, why do they support the Gaza Strip, but remain completely silent when it comes to Iran?

The answer is simple: because the truth exposes the lie. Because acknowledging Iran destroys the ideological fantasy they have built.

Let's be clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is not a victim of Western imperialism. It is a theocratic authoritarian regime that exists by exporting violence, funding Islamist groups, and suppressing its own people.

Yes, it funds Hamas.
It funds Hezbollah.
All these small proxy groups in the region and worldwide are financed with Iranian money — not government or regime money, but stolen funds: money taken from workers who today in Iran cannot even afford bread; from families destroyed by inflation; from women who are beaten, imprisoned, tortured, and raped for refusing religious submission.

And that is exactly why the leftists are silent: because Hamas feeds their narrative, but the Iranian people do not.

Because Islamist violence against Israelis can be turned into "resistance," but Islamist violence against Iranians reveals the truth.

At this very moment, as you read this, Iran — a country with over 92 million people — is being destroyed in real time.
Almost a complete blackout for more than 24 hours: no internet, no phone connection, no communication at all.

And — silence.

No "urgent protests" at Western universities, no hashtags, no statements of solidarity, no megaphones.

Because the suffering of Iranians does not fit their agenda.
Because modern leftist movements are no longer driven by human rights — they are driven by selective outrage and ideological loyalty.
They will scream about censorship — unless it is done by an Islamist regime.
They will condemn state violence to the fullest — but will never say a word if that violence is wrapped in religious language.

They chant "Free Palestine," but will never say "Free Iran," because that would require one difficult admission: that political Islam is not liberation — it is domination. And, by the way, this is happening in the West today as well.

The Islamic Republic is not anti-imperialist;
it is imperialist toward its own people.
Hamas is not an isolated resistance group;
it is part of a broader Islamist ecosystem funded, trained, and supported by regimes like the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Here is the part they do not want to hear:
You cannot claim moral superiority while justifying a regime that kills women and punishes them for refusing the hijab, kills protesters, cuts off the internet for a 92-million-strong nation, and uses foreign proxy groups to cover up its own internal collapse.

You cannot pretend to care about Palestinians while ignoring Iranians who are being shot, tortured, and killed by the Islamic Republic.

This is not solidarity — this is ideological blindness.
The Iranian people are not silent — they are forced into silence.

The silence of Western leftists is their choice: a choice to defend ideology, justify Islamism, and turn a blind eye to the suffering of millions because the pain of the Iranian people complicates the slogan.

History will remember this moment.
It will remember who spoke about universal freedom and who decided that some lives are less important than preserving a narrative.
Long live Iran."
