לבנון נמצאת היום, לא מעט הודות לישראל, בסיטואציה היסטורית שבה הגורמים שחתרו תחת הריבונות הלבנונית במשך עשורים - סוריה, איראן והפלסטינים - פחות בעמדה לעשות זאת. לכן ישראל צריכה להבהיר בד בבד עם המהלך הצבאי שהיא מעוניינת במדינת לבנון ריבונית המסוגלת לשלוט על כל שטחה ולהבטיח שהוא אינו משמש בסיס למתקפות על ישראל ומוכנה בכל עת לקיים שיתוף פעולה ישיר ומתמשך מול ממשלת לבנון וצבאה כדי להבטיח את מימוש הריבונות הזו לאורך זמן ובאופן יציב.

Today, I am proud to be Israeli.
Despite all the shaming.
Despite all the UN "resolutions".
Despite all the academics.
Despite all the online pressure.
Israel is cleaning the Middle East from radical religious terrorists. One by one.
They will not thank us for it.
But someone had to do the job.
@BriannaWu@BriannaWu transphobia is vile and you already know that it's not part of the Jewish ethos. But that shouldn't even enter your calculus. Continue to support this campaign for the Iranian people, for freedom from tyranny and for a more stable ME.
This is Warrant Officer Ibrahim Kharuba, a Bedouin Muslim IDF soldier, who is nominated for the IDFs highest bravery honor. On October 7th, he was one of the few armed men protecting a group of female soldiers on Nahal Oz base. The terrorists recognized he was an Arab and told him to surrender, he responded: "never". Ibrahim fought till the last bullet.
Shortly before he was murdered, he told the women: "it was my greatest honor to protect you". They are alive because of his bravery.
This is what actual coexistence looks like, in case anyone was confused.
"My dad is Muslim and he does not hate Jews so this proves that Islam loves the Jews. Plus, I have a friend named Moses who is Jewish and I've never killed him, not even once. Another proof that Islam loves Jews. Finally, if Islam hates Jews, how could you, Dr. Saad, lived in Lebanon until you were 11? Please stop spreading Islamophobia."
In the UK, whilst the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust was ongoing, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign announced their intention to protest against *Israel*.
In the USA, the Columbia chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine reactivated on 7th October *just before* the massacre began.
This is not a coincidence. We need investigations into who funds and controls these fifth column organisations—and prosecutions for links to terrorism.
📢📢Help me pressure @Columbia University to provide answers by retweeting this post📢📢

Dear President Armstrong, COO Holloway, Dean Maglaras, and General Counsel Rosan,
I am writing regarding the social media posts by CUAD, a student coalition at Columbia University, promoting violence and terrorism. As your own official statement today acknowledged, these actions violate university values and are unacceptable.
However, it is equally unacceptable for the administration to claim that CUAD "is not recognized, authorized, or supported by the University" when, in reality, CUAD is a coalition of 94 recognized student organizations—a fact noted in public records, lawsuits, and a November 2023 Columbia Spectator op-ed. Columbia has clear authority to sanction these organizations, their leaders, and their faculty advisors.
Failure to act does not just endanger Jewish and Israeli students and faculty but may also violate federal law. The university has acknowledged that this coalition has endorsed a U.S.-designated terrorist organization that targets Jews and Israelis. Allowing this to continue unchallenged is a clear violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race and national origin.
Additionally, CUAD’s student leaders are well known, both to the university and the public, as documented in a recent @CanaryMission report detailing their support for anti-Jewish, anti-Israeli, and anti-American terrorism.
As a Jewish Israeli professor who has repeatedly raised concerns about the administration’s indifference to antisemitism on campus, I demand to know what immediate actions you will take against CUAD, its affiliated organizations, leaders, and faculty advisors.
Given the escalating rhetoric, I also request a meeting to discuss the safety of Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, and staff. Please provide your earliest availability.
I remind you that as a federally funded institution, Columbia University has an obligation to protect all students regardless of race, religion, sex, or national origin.
Finally, please keep a record of this email for potential future litigation.
Sincerely,
Shai Davidai

Some thoughts on the US President's proposal for Gaza:
1) Look here at the attached image of one of the hostage release productions. What the President correctly sees is that Gaza has no objective geographic problem. It is not some windswept landlocked area facing droughts. It is located on a beautiful part of the Mediterranean with soft sands from the Egyptian Delta. It sits at the cross roads of two ancient trade routes. Connected by train through Israel to the Red Sea, it could provide competition to the Suez Canal (is this also part of the thinking?). It has energy reserves. It has everything it needs to be a major trading and tourism hub (and a US military base?).
The only problem Gaza has is politics - its people are committed to an ideology of destruction (sustained in that by organizations like UNRWA) - meaning destroy what the Jews have built next door rather than build for themselves. What the President seems to notice is that Gaza's inhabitants could have built for themselves something remarkable on this strip of land, and instead they chose - and it is an ideological choice - to turn it into an integrated weaponized landscape for the singular purpose of destroying Israel.
So the President sees what Palestinians, Egyptians, even Jordanians, should have long ago seen - Gaza is an extremely valuable piece of land - if, and that's a big if - the politics can somehow be moved from ones of destruction to construction, figuratively and literally.
2) However, the Arab world is no stranger to grand US building project ideas intended to help settle Arab refugees and move on from war. What the Arab countries have done in the past with such grand US ideas, beginning in the 1950's is take the money, hijack the agency though which it was to be done (UNRWA), build nothing, and keep the Arab refugees generation after generation turning them into a people - the Palestinians - tragically organized around the idea of no Jewish state.
This means that any grand project depends on taking advanced actions that will not allow it to be hijacked. As the US defunds UNRWA it must avoid repeating a situation where western money flows, but the politics of destruction remain. Perhaps, this is why the President speaks of the US taking over the territory immediately.
3) How can the politics of destruction be changed? The key is to end the lie and the scam of perpetual Palestinian refugeehood and the violent vision of "return" which underpinned the October 7th attacks and massacres, and which for generations have sent Gazans the message that Gaza is not their home, but a launchpad from which to "liberate Palestine from the River to the Sea".
How? transmute any notion of refugeehood and "right of return" into property rights in Gaza.
Gaza's inhabitants, regardless if they are given temporary or permanent refuge in other Arab countries, and even if they just remain in Gaza, must be struck from UNRWA's records as refugees and must each individually recognize that they possess no such thing as a "right of return" into Israel.
In return for that, and only after this is done, each Gaza resident receives a unit of property rights (such as an apartment) to be realized when Gaza is rebuilt. That right can then be realized or sold, but it is a simple property right in Gaza, where Gaza is home, not a destructive vision of "return" to somewhere else.
4) Finally, if I were Jordan, I would finally recognize how valuable Gaza is and I will make a play for it - offer to provide temporary or permanent refuge to Gazans - and in return take over Gaza as a Jordanian foot in the Mediterranean. I would then offer Israel to give back the Arabs of the West Bank the Jordanian citizenship that was stripped of them in exchange of Israel allowing two train routes from Jordan into Gaza through the West Bank and from the Red Sea, creating competition to the Suez Canal. (and if I'm Egypt, I would try to prevent Jordan from doing this, and offer to take over Gaza myself).
Bottom line: what the President's proposal served to highlight is this: Gaza is an incredibly valuable piece of territory. Whoever can figure out how to change its politics from the current ones of obsessive destruction to forward-looking construction, will benefit greatly themselves and will benefit the region more broadly.
This is what famine looks like:
Healthy little girls, recorded in a lavish spectacle, celebrating death.
The throat-slit choreography — performed with delight — is especially groovy.
"He said he was Thai, but the terrorists didn't listen."
Among Hamas’s long list of atrocities, the story of the Thai hostages was meant to go unnoticed. Unlike the Israeli hostages that Hamas carefully parades before cameras, 5 Thai hostages were released last week with little media attention.
Why? Because their suffering exposes a truth that #Hamas and its defenders desperately want to hide.
Watchara Sriuan (33), Bannawat Seatho (27), Sathian Suwannakham (35), Pongsak Tanna (36), and Surasak Lamnau (32) were not Israeli. They were not soldiers. They were farm labourers—men who had traveled to Israel simply to support their families.
Yet, on October 7, Hamas slaughtered 39 Thai people with knives and garden tools. They kidnapped 31 more.
Most were eventually released in November 2023. But not all. Two were killed in captivity. Five were freed after 16 months. One, Nattapong Pinta, is still missing.
We live in an era where simply describing reality is considered dangerous by some.
The reality is that Hamas murdered Thai workers out of Islamist ideological hatred.

Nothing ever shocks me anymore.
Johannah King-Slutzky, the one who infamously begged for “humanitarian aid” for the violent, pro-Hamas rioters who took over Hamilton Hall, has been REWARDED by Columbia with a TEACHING position. This is someone who was ARRESTED at the encampment and suspended—and now she’s been entrusted to teach “CONTEMPORARY WESTERN CIVILIZATION”, a MANDATORY course for ALL undergraduates.
Columbia must be completely defunded and stripped of accreditation—this is absolutely disgusting.
Repost this if you agree. Let’s make sure EVERYONE knows what an absolute shithole Columbia has become.
ADMIN POST.
Salwan Momika, an Iraqi Christian refugee, flees the open persecution by islamists of minorities, and seeks asylum in Sweden.
Sweden, which quickly became the rape capital of Europe through mass Islamic immigration, daily bombings, no go zones, instead of helping him, did everything in their power to deport him back, to appease the rabid islamists they'd imported en masse.
He was due in court today for burning a book, literally a book, Sweden has no blasphemy laws, but of course they went after him for appeasement yet again.
Last night he was gunned down live on air, again, a country that needs a license to own firearms, yet islamists have easy access because authorities are cowards.
As the legacy media and politicians sided with islamists to appease out of cowardice.
Tommy offered the hand of friendship to this brave Christian refugee, and told his story to the world.
RIP Salwan, we won't forget you, sorry European "leaders" failed you, like they have so many.
@AndrewGold_ok What are you doing supporting those morons at @Patreon. Go to Substack which values and protects free speech. Or more to the point in this case: wouldn’t prosecute you for ridiculous and falsified reasons.
How did Europe mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day this year?
- Poland: Threatened to arrest Netanyahu if he visits Auschwitz
- Belgium: Threatened to arrest Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli if he attends the European Parliament's ceremony
- Ireland: President does Holocaust inversion and his security violently drags out Jews who dared to oppose his antisemitic rhetoric.
Great job making Jews feel safe and welcome on the continent!
Your Met Police allowed thugs to threaten to rape Jewish daughters in the middle of a Jewish area, and get away with it. All charges dropped.
Fuck you.
@TStranske @havivrettiggur@Hertsnik@ChrisVanHollen The concept of "right" to any land is, at best, misguided. No people has ever had a right to any land.
The appropriate concept would be that of "claim" — does a people have a legitimate claim to a land.
