Spanish 🇪🇸 commentator refuses to introduce Israeli 🇮🇱 athlete.

RTVE commentators had no issue introducing the athletes at the European Athletics Championship, until it was Omri Shiff's turn.

Trying to deal their own sort of punishment, the commentators spoke on a different athlete while the camera slowly passed by the Shiff of Israel. As soon as the next competitor was on screen, they resumed introductions.

Omri's name was never said. The omission spoke volumes. But he exists, representing his home. There is no crime for that.

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.

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.

They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.

Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

Shameful - perhaps someone was right when they said 'if you can, do; if you can't, teach'.

[Jewish Teachers Los Angeles (JewTLA) @JewTLA]

Last night, at an official UTLA House of Representatives meeting, 160 credentialed teachers — the people who teach your children — spent thirty minutes denouncing me by name, declared that Zionism is racism, and then voted to expel me. I never said a single word the entire meeting.

For two hours I sat silently as an observer, which is my right as a union member in good standing. Then someone noticed I was there. What followed was half an hour of teachers explaining how terrible I am, how Zionism is racism, and how I had personally tried to get them fired — stories I don’t recognize and that anyone who knows how schools work would find laughable.

Then they voted out the only Orthodox Jew in the room.

No charges. No process. No hearing. Just organized hostility, a vote, and a gavel.

I’ve been doing antisemitism accountability work in K-12 education for years. I file complaints. I document. I publish. I name names. Apparently my silent presence on a Zoom call is a five-alarm emergency.

I want to be clear about what happened: a union used official meeting time to conduct a public denunciation of a Jewish advocate, then expelled her for the crime of showing up and saying nothing.

I’ve been kicked out of better places.

But I’ve never been more certain the work is landing.

The longest line of sight ever captured in the world was between the mountains Karagöl in Turkey and Shkhara on the Georgia-Russia border, 15th December 2024.

At a distance of 493 km (306.4 miles), it’s the equivalent of seeing Ben Nevis from the hills of central Wales!

[David Buik @truemagic68]

The whole ethos of BBC Today Programme has changed out of all recognition. It has become a magazine programme. Nothing wrong with that. However, it's a far cry from the days of Robert Robinson, John Timpson, Sue McGregor and Brian Redhead. Maybe change is a progressive innovation
