This is a devious rhetorical trick. Labeling someone a “Nakba survivor” is designed to evoke instant sympathy and a false sense of moral clarity, but it is little more than taxpayer-funded propaganda.
Consider the absurdity: roughly 99% of Palestinian Arabs alive in 1949 survived the war and its displacements. Calling the displaced a “survivor” stretches the word beyond recognition. It is a newly coined term, crafted in academia and activist circles long after the events.
Its real genius lies in creating false equivalence. It places ordinary Palestinian civilians who were displaced amid a war their own leaders launched on the same moral plane as Holocaust survivors (of whom only about one-third emerged alive).
It airbrushes away the ~6,000 Jews killed in 1948, elevates the ~12,000 Arab deaths, and erases the thousands of Jews forcibly expelled from the Old City of Jerusalem and other areas.
By anointing the displaced as sacred “survivors,” the term invites us to forget that the Nazi-aligned Palestinian leadership rejected the UN partition plan, chose war to prevent any Jewish state, and promised quick victory while urging Arabs to flee.
It glosses over Israel’s Declaration of Independence, which explicitly invited Arab inhabitants to “participate in the upbuilding of the State on the basis of full and equal citizenship.” And it conveniently overlooks the ~150,000 Arabs who stayed put, accepted Israeli citizenship, and whose descendants now form over 20% of Israel’s population.
This is international grievance politics pushed by the Mayor of New York City, who genuinely believes that Palestinians should be able to “return to their homes” – a nonsensical idea designed to justify perpetual victimhood and violence.
The move weaponizes real civilian hardship while inverting roles: turning a war of choice and rejectionism into an unprovoked “catastrophe” inflicted by the intended victims. It sustain grievance and does not nothing to advance peace.
The elevated diction, ideological certainty, references to patience and inevitability, and almost mythic intimidation reminds me of Brother Mouzone from the Wire. He speaks like someone who sees violence as disciplined doctrine rather than emotion.
You touch us, and we’ll make you regret it in ways you cannot imagine. Slowly. Everywhere. You still haven’t seen anything yet. We are the falcons of the Middle East. We banned the Muslim Brotherhood. We expelled the Islamic regime’s representatives. We are not Keir Starmer’s Britain, folding every time the Muslim Brotherhood in London barks louder. We are not Emmanuel Macron’s France, sipping coffee while negotiating with terrorists in Tehran.
And the UAE knows patience. For even the desert waits in silence before the storm rises. "As the eagle rises against the wind, so shall the steadfast rise through fire."
@iandmacomber@AnthropicAI@tryramp@Rich_Barton Would have been nice if the data was more segmented. Something like, which vendors do midsize accounting firms in New York use. What are their switching patterns.
@User_panui 1000 זה לא מעט, ארוחה טובה בתל אביב, שני דוחות חניה, אבל זה לא המון ביחס לאיש מקצוע זמין, שיש לו גישה לכל הדוחות הקודמים ויודע לתת לך את עצת הזהב. השאלה האמיתי היא מה עוד הוא יכול לעשות עבורך באותו סכום.
Insane that we'll end up producing 99% of our energy from space, and send it down as intelligence. Literally no other way to send this much energy back — intelligence ended up being the densest form of energy we discovered.
✨ Announcing NanoClaw v2, in partnership with @vercel.
We completely rebuilt how NanoClaw agents communicate with the outside world. v2 brings agent-to-agent communication, human-in-the-loop-approvals, support for 15 messaging platforms, and more.
A thread on what's new:
I know you think you are smart, but everyone knew you were a foreign asset and you were used as a counter-intelligence asset (as I described in my article on the war, Tucker was the Iranian spy). You got used as a counter-intel asset to convince them nothing was happening.
You got used to kill the Iranian leadership. You personally were one of the key reasons they believed nothing was happening. Which gave them the confidence to convene a meeting with their entire high command. You did your job well, being a traitor.
Imagine thinking that you'd get a prime time slot with the president on the eve of a war, after repeatedly humiliating him and him calling you a retard multiple times publicly. You are as arrogant as you are stupid.
But now your usefulness has ended, and its time to go. Good luck my guy, you are going to need it. Thanks for helping us kill all your friends tho, you did great work.
