The USS Liberty conspiracy theory asks you to accept that Israel, a nation of 2.5 million people fighting for its literal survival on six fronts simultaneously against 110 million Arabs equipped with Soviet tanks, Soviet aircraft, and Soviet warships, and with no formal American alliance, no American weapons, and no guarantee that anyone was coming to save them, is chose day four of that existential war to deliberately attack the one country on earth that might eventually become their ally, in broad daylight, in international waters, leaving 174 survivors who could identify the attacking forces, while fourteen separate investigations across two governments found zero evidence of intent, while Israel’s own military had accidentally bombed its own armored column the day before proving how catastrophically identification fails in wartime chaos, and while not a single one of the conspiracy theory’s proponents in nearly six decades of trying has ever managed to agree on what Israel was actually trying to accomplish by doing it.

Heavy lift.

We now know from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Israel that The New York Times was made aware weeks before publishing Nicholas Kristof’s explosive op-ed that the independent commission, an NGO, was investigating and going to report on Hamas’ systemic use of sexual violence against Israeli women, girls, and men.

Remember, initially, we all thought it was just women and girls, and that was horrible enough. We now know Hamas at gunpoint forced men to have sexual relations with family members in their homes, something we really haven’t seen in the world much since Rwanda. Horrible stuff.

And The New York Times, according to Israel and the NGO, was made aware that this report was going come out May 12th. The NGO, independent from the government of Israel, asked for permission to run an article detailing its findings in The New York Times.

The New York Times responded that they were not interested in running an article on Hamas’ use of sexual violence against Israelis. And then the day before—not a week before, not a month before, not a week after—the day before, on May 11th, The New York Times runs this explosive Kristof piece.

Remember, The New York Times had said it was not interested in this subject. Then, the day before the NGO released its report, the paper ran an explosive piece that blamed the victims. Now, the Israelis are the perpetrators of mass systemic sexual violence against Palestinians. It flips everything on its head.

Within the last 48 hours, we've seen:

1. A synagogue in Toronto vandalized

2. A synagogue in Montreal firebombed

3. Swastikas drawn on a Jewish family's driveway in Ottawa

4. Threats to attack Jews at the Walk with Israel event in Toronto today

This is our new normal.

“Hey Jew”

The protesters at the Walk with Israel Jewish community march in Toronto are clear about who they are targeting.

This isn’t political protest. It’s hate.

[Lebanese Zionist @Lebanon_Israel1]

The Arabs did not understand what they were creating. When Jews were kicked out of Arab lands with little money, no protection, and no future, many believed they were permanently removing their Jewish populations. They told the Jews to “go back to Israel,” convinced that the new Jewish state would collapse under the attacks of the ummah and that the Jews would not survive or fight back.

But when that effort failed, and Israel survived instead of disappearing, the narrative was reversed. The same voices that supported the ethnic cleansing of the Jews and justified the expulsion of Jews from Arab countries began accusing Israel of what they tried to do, while simultaneously telling Jews whose families were expelled from Arab lands to “go back to Poland.”

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

BREAKING:

Iran has launched ballistic missiles at Saudi Arabia

[Kassy Akiva @KassyAkiva]

To understand what's happening right now:

Iran threatened to attack Israel if Israel struck Beirut.

Israel warned it would strike Beirut if Hezbollah attacked Israeli cities.

Hezbollah then launched attacks on northern Israel.

Israel responded with strikes in Beirut.

Now, multiple Iranian missile barrages have been launched at Israel over the past 20 minutes.

At Nottingham girls high school she says they have replaced “controversial” books by “white male authors” such as Of Mice and Men and Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (a book about the Holocaust)

Short test: are you an antisemite?

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

Flashback:
This Palestinian Islamic leader publicly admitted that the conflict is not about a “land dispute.”
As Muslims, the Palestinians are simply waging holy war, aka jihad, against the Jews in Israel. As you can see in the video, their ultimate aim is world domination.

According to him, after they finish off the Jews, they will wipe out the rest of humanity.

@sendayan372610 @LizaRosen0000 Yet the only people Israel has “expelled” from Gaza were Jews in 2005, in an effort to give Gazans their own autonomy. Then Gazans immediately elected Hamas and began a missile campaign
