“2,200 American servicemen killed at Pearl Harbor — we go on to kill 3.5 million Japanese, including 100,000 in one night. 2,800 Americans in 9/11 — we go on to kill 400,000 people in Afghanistan and Iraq. We weren’t accused of genocide.

If Mexico had elected a jihadist cartel to run their country and they incurred into Texas, and on a per capita basis killed 35,000 people, a population of the University of Texas, and on the way back, took the freshmen class at SMU hostage and hid them under tunnels, what would we do? It’d be the great Sonora radioactive parking lot.

But Jews are not allowed, and Israel is not allowed to prosecute a war. And they are prosecuting a war more humanely than we have done.

The ratio of combatants to civilians — of civilian death to combatant mortality — is lower than it was in Mosul, lower than it was in Japan, lower than it was in Germany.

So there’s just a different standard for Jews and Israel when it comes to prosecuting a war. They’re allowed to fight back to a truce.

But unlike America or any other Western nation that is attacked as viciously, they're not allowed to win a war. It's a double standard.”

Israel brought international journalists into Gaza to view the large stockpiles of aid that the UN failed to distribute, while screaming about famine. Now they have been exposed, UN have resumed distribution, with 270+ truckloads of aid delivered yesterday and today.

BREAKING: Father Tony Boutros, Greek Catholic leader in Sweida, Syria, is calling on the world to save Christians and Druze from an Islamist genocide:

“Look at the massacre they are committing against us. We need protection to continue living.”

[Ridvan Aydemir | Apostate Prophet @ApostateProphet]

BREAKING: The Greek Orthodox leadership in Suwayda, Syria, issued an URGENT statement as the Druze and Christians are brutally attacked by Islamists.

"Glory to God in all things

I direct this message to the entire world and call upon them to urgently intervene to stop the terrorist massacres in Suwayda.

I direct this humanitarian plea to those of sound minds who love peace.

The ongoing war in Suwayda Governorate is a war of annihilation
killing both young and old.

Therefore, I raise my voice loudly to the international community and to the United Nations to help us.

I hope this cry reaches the whole world.

Issued by
The Archdiocese of Bosra, Horan, Jabal al-Arab, and the Golan – Greek Orthodox."

A Message to the Dutch People.

- from Loay Alshareef لؤي الشريف @lalshareef

As I walked peacefully to give my speech in Amsterdam, I encountered a group of pro-Hamas supporters. They shouted, yelled, and chanted “Free Palestine” at me.

I replied, “Yes, free Palestine…from Hamas.”

Muslim Brotherhood and radical Islamist accounts on Arabic social media quickly twisted the narrative, falsely claiming that I provoked them by approaching their protest.

This is a complete lie. They attended the CIDI conference and attempted to intimidate me and other speakers.

But let me be clear: they might intimidate a young, uninformed Dutch Gen Z or a white European who knows little about the Middle East, but they cannot intimidate an Arab Muslim who has defeated the radical ideology of hate that Hamas represents.

Dear Dutch people: these pro-Hamas supporters and radical Islamists are misusing the liberal freedom you offer them. One day, they will turn it against you, as they have done in other places.

They are not fighting for a bright future for the Palestinians.

They support Hamas, while I support the Palestinians to live in dignity, side by side with the Jewish people.

Listen to the voices from the Middle East.
Listen to those who know the reality.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

The Islamist regime of Syria has entered the southern city of Sweida and is currently attacking the Druze and Christian population.

Sweida is the only place in Syria where Christians and Druze can live free of Sharia law. They are now facing genocide at the hands of these barbarians. Pray!

[Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem @IndigenousCFI]

We, Indigenous and First Nations leaders representing communities across Canada, are writing to express our deep concern regarding the upcoming October performances by the Irish band Kneecap at History (Toronto) and the Vogue Theatre (Vancouver).

These venues are located on the ancestral homelands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples in Toronto, and the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations in Vancouver.

Out of respect for Indigenous communities and the lands where these events are scheduled to take place, we are asking that both Live Nation and the Vogue Theatre’s operator, the MRG Group, refuse to provide Kneecap with a space to openly promote discrimination.

Kneecap has outwardly supported antisemitism, genocide, and the indiscriminate murder of civilians. Allowing them to play in Canada would be a stain on our country’s reputation. 

Our concerns are grounded not only in the band’s recent performance at Coachella, which included messaging that incited hate and bigotry, but also in publicly available videos and images where band members have expressed support for groups that Canada recognizes as terrorist organizations, including Hamas and Hezbollah. They are not promoting activism, but propagating violence, terror, murder, and hatred. 

Under Section 83.03 of the Canadian Criminal Code, it is a criminal offense to promote hate or support terrorist organizations, either directly or indirectly—including the glorification or symbolic endorsement of such groups.

By allowing Kneecap to perform on Indigenous lands, Live Nation and the MRG Group are not only endorsing rhetoric that promotes division, hate, and glorification of terror—they are violating the spirit and obligations of the Treaties of Peace and Friendship. These treaties are not confined to government institutions; they govern how we, as treaty partners, must relate to one another across all areas of society.

Excerpts from article by Carl Ginsberg. Long, but so good. Repost if you can. Everything we need to say is there.

TO THE ANTISEMITES OF THE WORLD

You say we run the banks. You say we control Hollywood. You say we dominate the media. You say we have too much influence, too much power, too much pride. But you never ask how, or why. So, let me tell you.

We were banned from owning land, so we learned to live by our minds. We were blocked from trade guilds and professions, so we became merchants, scholars, doctors, and lawyers.

Our commitment to education didn’t come from privilege — it came from necessity. From exclusion. When we were barred from universities, we built our own yeshivot. The Torah became our moral anchor; the Talmud, our intellectual training ground. When we were mocked for being ‘bookish’, we made knowledge our defence. The insult became our armour.

In medieval Europe, Christians were forbidden by the Church to lend money with interest. But kings still needed loans and someone had to do the collecting. So they turned to the Jews — already despised, already othered. We became moneylenders not by ambition, but by force. Then we were hated for it.

In America, we were shut out of ‘respectable’ jobs. So we went west and helped invent Hollywood — not to brainwash, but to dream. To tell stories. To make magic.

When Ivy League schools capped Jewish admissions, we founded Brandeis. When hospitals wouldn’t hire Jewish doctors, we built Cedars-Sinai. When law firms closed their doors, we opened Skadden and Wachtell. We weren’t trying to dominate — we were just trying to live.

We were expelled from Spain. Massacred in Poland. Hanged in Iran. Lynched in Georgia. Bombed in Germany. And yet, we survived. We learned. We remembered.

We built hospitals when we weren’t welcomed in yours. We built advocacy groups to defend ourselves when no one else would. And when no country would have us — we built our own.

Then Came October 7, 2023.

You say you hate Israel because of its policies. Because of land. Because of borders. But on October 7, 2023, Hamas didn’t target soldiers. They didn’t storm checkpoints or military outposts. They raped women. They beheaded babies. They burned families alive. They slaughtered civilians in their homes, bombed shelters and slaughtered young people at a music festival. It was the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. And as our dead lay unburied, the world didn’t mourn with us — it rallied against us.

So, no — this isn’t about borders. You hated us before 1948. Before the State of Israel existed. Before a single border was drawn.

What you hate is that the Jew now has power. A flag. A standing army. A government. A home. You preferred us weak. Wandering. Apologizing. Dependent on your pity or permission to live. Israel is not a gift. It is a necessity.

We didn’t colonize the land — we returned to it. Jews have lived in Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed and Tiberias for over 3,000 years. We prayed toward Zion for centuries. We spoke Hebrew while the world told us to forget.

We built a nation while surrounded by enemies, embargoed by the world and haunted by the ashes of Auschwitz. Israel was not built because of the Holocaust. It was built because of 2,000 years of exile, genocide and betrayal — and it is the only insurance policy against the next one.

Never Again is not a slogan. It’s the Iron Dome. It’s the F-35. It’s the 18-year-old girl in olive green standing guard, so toddlers in Sderot can sleep.

[Daniel @VoteLewko]

The Nazi Party banned Jewish performances in early 1934, preventing Jews from performing on stage or screen. These policies were right at the beginning of Nazi rule and prior to WWII, in an attempt to exclude Jewish people from cultural and professional life

2025 Melbourne is starting to look like 1934 Germany.
