I was right about Birmingham - "I’d been to Handsworth and seen a community that did not represent the full breadth of British society. It, like too much of Birmingham, resembled a segregated community. That’s not the kind of country I want, for anyone. I want a country where fellow Brits live side by side in mixed communities, with a strong sense of national togetherness and unity. The Mayor of the West Midlands, the Bishop of Birmingham, a series of local MPs, the BBC, and others all lined up to say I was wrong. The local MP, Ayoub Khan, described my views as “a far-Right cliché” while simultaneously organising a petition to prevent Israeli fans from attending the forthcoming game between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Many, including the BBC and ITV, misquoted me or ignored my point that it is not about the colour of one’s skin; it was about making communities well-integrated. I faced the inevitable accusations of racism. There was also the drivel about diversity being our strength. The mainstream media ferociously tried to shut down the debate and destroy my reputation. And that’s what’s happened time and again for decades to anyone voicing the mildest critique of extreme levels of immigration. Some others continue to attack me. Handsworth is a model community, they say. Villa Park is a few streets from Handsworth: a week after my remarks were reported, West Midlands Police have now in effect declared those streets a “no-go zone” for Jews. My comments weren’t based on a few hours in Birmingham; I’ve known the city my whole life. They were based instead on a deep concern for the lack of action by successive governments to tackle the abject failure of integration. There have been at least six serious reports in the last 20 years, including by respected figures like Baroness Casey, saying much the same thing as I did. They have all ended on a dusty shelf, largely unimplemented. Why? Partly, because of the fear of our gutless political class to stand up and speak out. These people don’t care about the Jewish population. They are shameless cowards, more concerned about retaining respectability amongst the liberal elite. Take the Prime Minister himself. Last night, he tweeted his outrage over West Midlands Police’s decision. But last week he denounced me for crossing “a red line” in discussing integration in Birmingham. Once again, he’s happy to criticise the police, but runs scared of even acknowledging, let alone tackling, the big problems we face. Keir Starmer isn’t a bystander. He’s the Prime Minister. What is he actually going to do? Bury his head in the sand when it gets uncomfortable. Grandstand rather than lead. His words today are totally hollow. He’s a hollow man, running a purposeless Government. So I won’t be silenced now for what I believe. I will stand up for what is right, just as I resigned from the last Conservative Cabinet rather than put my name to a failed immigration policy. During my speech at the Conservative Party Conference last week, I said that “a Britain where our Jewish friends are afraid is just not Britain”. I meant that. The same goes for football. A football in which Jewish fans aren’t welcome in the away stands just isn’t football. What should we do? The immediate answers are obvious. Send in as many police officers as required to get the 1,000 or so Maccabi fans in. Sack the Chief Constable if he won’t change his mind. Deal with the extremist Imams in Birmingham who have spent the past few days fomenting hate, including by revoking visas and withdrawing charitable status. We must also tackle head on the vile sectarian MPs who have polluted our politics. But the longer term strategy for tackling this problem is harder. Thirty years of mass migration have changed our country in ways that we’re only beginning to feel the consequences of. Unintegrated communities will continue to be hotbeds of extremism and division until we achieve the integration that politicians claim they seek to accomplish. Our country cannot have no-go zones. It cannot have sectarian MPs. The time has come for muscular action to make integration a reality. There are 30 years of reports chock-full of recommendations, just waiting on a shelf to be implemented."
Police apologise over claim that Jews supported Israeli football fan ban - "A senior police officer has apologised to members of the Jewish community after he wrongly told MPs they had not wanted Maccabi Tel Aviv fans to attend the Aston Villa match last month. Mike O’Hara, assistant chief constable for the West Midlands Police, had claimed during a grilling in Parliament that representatives of the Jewish community were consulted on the ban."
Ben Green on X - "It’s insane how this keeps getting worse for West Midlands Police. 🤯
Latest revelation: UEFA recommended that Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel Aviv go ahead with both sets of fans in attendance. 🤔 As well as ignoring UEFA, West Midlands Police also lied about:
The evidence received from Amsterdam Police.
The Amsterdam “Jodenjacht” - Jew Hunt - in November 2024. Claimed the violence was instigated by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans.
Made up an entirely fictitious game between West Ham and Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2023.
Claimed they had consulted the local Birmingham Jewish community. Forced to apologize for this lie.
What is going on here?!"
Meme>/a> - "The facts that Israelis and Zionists (95% Jews) are barred from certain cultural and sporting events around the world, NOT because they pose a threat, but due to risk of terror attack against them by "Free Palestine" movement, should tell you everything you need to know about who the victims and agressors are in this conflict"
Police force at centre of anti-Semitism row won’t commit to ‘intifada’ arrests - "A police force that banned Israeli fans from attending a football match has refused to commit to arresting all protesters who chant “globalise the intifada”. West Midlands Police (WMP) officers will not routinely detain activists who use the phrase, which has been widely adopted by pro-Palestinian protesters since the Oct 7 terrorist attack of 2023... “Police forces are terrified of standing up to extremists. But appeasing them will not make things easier later on. It will only make things deadlier.”... The Telegraph contacted all 43 police forces in England and Wales, and at the time of publication, only Lincolnshire Police confirmed it too would arrest anyone chanting “globalise the intifada”."

Hamas has NEVER attacked anyone in Europe, NEVER expressed a desire to do so, and in fact has always made it clear that they are fighting the Jewish supremacist colonizers and oppressors on their OWN SOIL in their own homeland of Palestine. watch out Europe. Israel is coming for you again for yet another false flag on your soil to whip up anti-Arab, anti-Muslim sentiments. here's a partial list to jog your memory [not including the ones we know they did but can't yet prove it].
Thread by @CarolineGlick on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Good morning. And a very good morning indeed, for the people of Gaza. These photos were taken this morning at the Tel Sultan Distribution Center in Gaza by American relief workers. What do you see? Do you see fear in the eyes of Gazans receiving aid? No, you see glee. You see gratitude and relief. That is because these people have nothing to fear. The American relief workers operating the site, and the IDF forces securing the distribution center are there to help them. And they know it. And they are happy and relieved. There are no Hamas terrorist there pointing rifles at them and forcing them to pay for aid they were supposed to receive for free. As these people were safely receiving the aid this morning, as they did yesterday, Hamas was trying to propagate yet another blood libel accusing our soldiers of shooting at the civilians at the food distribution centers. And why wouldn’t they? It worked so well yesterday, after all. Yesterday morning, Hamas disseminated its slanderous claim that Israel killed 31 people at an aid distribution center. And by the time the IDF finished its investigation into the allegations and was able to definitively deny them, the slander had been the top story by nearly every major news outlet in the U.S. and Europe for nearly a day. Here are a few of the most breathless accounts. So Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Fund safely provide aid free of charge. The Gazans receive it with relief and glee. Hamas propagates a blood libel falsely accusing Israel of murdering aid recipients in cold blood and CNN, BBC, Sky News, NBC and their comrades all breathlessly disseminate the blood libel immediately and without question. Why? Because they want to. And in the evening, a Hamas wannabe in Boulder, CO repeats the blood libel he saw on CNN and torches a group of Jews gathered in the park. They were in the park yesterday, as they are every week, to remind their fellow citizens of the plight of Hamas’s most suffering victims – the Israelis Has been holding hostage for more than 600 days. x.com/i/status/19292… CNN, which immediately published Hamas’s blood libel, did everything it could to hide the truth about the Boulder story. The headline hid that the victims were Jews targeted for being Jews by a terrorist who supports Hamas."
David Collier on X - "Gazans are stunned that the aid being handed out now is free. Because until now, Hamas controlled much of it and charged Gazans extortionate amounts. Now they can't. The big question: Why wasn't this reported (Why is Western media acting as a mouthpiece for a Jihadist mafia)?"
Opinion | The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s food aid program is effective - The Washington Post - "GHF has faced harsh criticism for its work in Gaza, with United Nations agencies and nongovernmental organizations publishing a letter in July urging donors and countries not to fund the foundation’s work and to instead revert to a solely U.N.-led response. I arrived in Gaza a skeptic of GHF but left an advocate. Simply put, the common portrayal of this organization radically distorts reality. I observed GHF’s relief operations firsthand. What I saw was not a textbook distribution — because no textbook exists for a war zone such as Gaza, where terrorist combatants hide among civilians. Instead, I saw GHF using unconventional means to successfully deliver food to civilians on a staggering scale under nearly impossible circumstances. It wasn’t perfect, but it was good... Relative to most other aid distributions around the world, GHF’s job is especially dangerous, requiring tenacity and elaborate planning from people who know how to conduct themselves calmly in a volatile setting. In crowds that can number in the tens of thousands, potentially infiltrated by Hamas terrorists, steady leadership and situational control are essential. I watched GHF teams, along with their Palestinian staffs, manage huge crowds with total professionalism. IDF shooting incidents have tragically cost some Gazans their lives as they seek aid, but Israel investigates these episodes and acknowledges mistakes. Civilian deaths reflect the sad reality of war, not Israeli policy... U.N. Secretary General António Guterres said recently, when discussing Gaza, that “we are seeing the last gasp of a humanitarian system built on humanitarian principles.” This view is rooted in the perspective that the U.N. is the only body capable of leading a principled humanitarian response in Gaza. The message is not helpful. If we are serious about humanitarian principles, we must start with the first one: saving lives and reducing suffering — even if it means abandoning traditional methods that didn’t work in this setting... Despite the challenges of working in such a dramatically changed landscape, GHF is putting food into the hands of hungry people, noting that it has distributed more than 167 million meals to date, and preventing Hamas from exerting control over the Gaza food supply. Meanwhile, the U.N.’s own statistics show that 82 percent of its trucks entering Gaza in August were “intercepted” — looted — “either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors.”... The Inter-Agency Standing Committee of the U.N. and its partners have long-established guidelines for the use of armed escorts for humanitarian convoys as a “last resort.” Don’t the people of Gaza meet the necessary conditions? The U.N. has used armed escorts for humanitarian aid in Somalia, Haiti and many other countries."
Drop Site on X - "🔴 REPORT | Gaza’s rubble now exceeds 60 million tons, including 4 million tons of hazardous waste, according to official Palestinian figures presented this week by the Environmental Quality Authority during an emergency government meeting on the Gaza Strip, Al Araby reported. The authority reported that the destruction caused by Israel’s war has generated 50,000 tons of asbestos, and around 100,000 tons of explosives and unexploded ordnance. It warned that this massive volume of waste poses severe long-term environmental and public health risks. Officials also said the assault has destroyed 80 percent of Gaza’s water and sanitation systems, contaminated the coastal aquifer, and wiped out more than 2,000 industrial facilities. At least 700,000 tons of solid waste have accumulated in makeshift dumps after formal landfills and medical waste treatment sites were destroyed. Forced displacement from northern Gaza to central and southern areas has also spread contamination to new zones. As a result, large quantities of chemicals, oils, batteries, solar panel materials, and asbestos have leaked into the soil and surface water. Photo: @AbdSabbah91"
Hussain Abdul-Hussain on X - "The new Muslim Brotherhood narrative stipulates that Israeli control of half of the strip violates UNSCR 2083/Trump’s Peace Plan for Gaza.

The report also calls for the return of the last remaining hostage, Ran Gvili. Better late than never."
Internal Hamas Documents Reveal Terror Group's Infiltration of UN-Affiliated Aid Groups in Gaza - "Hamas operatives infiltrated dozens of U.N.-affiliated aid groups in Gaza between 2018 and 2022, embedding personnel into senior positions to direct humanitarian operations on the ground and ensure the groups served Hamas's interests, internal security documents uncovered by Israeli forces and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show. The documents, authored by Hamas's internal security apparatus, detail for the first time how the terror group systematically co-opted nonprofits affiliated with the United Nations and the governments of multiple Western countries, including the United States. They reveal how Hamas placed its allies into key positions throughout these nonprofits, ensuring they "can be exploited for security purposes in order to infiltrate foreign associations, their foreign senior personnel and their movements"... Hamas's scheme relies on a system of "guarantors," or local Gazans—primarily Hamas loyalists and intelligence operators—who serve as points of contact between aid organizations and the terror group's leadership. In order for NGOs to operate in Gaza, Hamas requires that its guarantors "hold senior administrative positions" within the aid groups. The arrangement ensures that Hamas has "access to the highest levels of the NGOs' local branches and operations," according to NGO Monitor's analysis of the documents. The guarantors also allow Western NGOs to informally coordinate with Hamas and bypass government restrictions on direct engagement with the terror group... The documents show that other terror groups have gotten in on the action as well: The United States-registered Catholic Relief Services hired a Gaza director whom Hamas identified as a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Every nonprofit operation in Gaza, NGO Monitor notes in its report, is "required to adhere to strict Hamas security protocols, which include regular engagement with the terror group's Ministry of Interior and National Security (MoINS) and Ministry of Social Development (MoSD)." Not a single aid group was "permitted to provide services or operate projects in Gaza without Hamas's approval and maintaining an ongoing line of coordination with the abovementioned Hamas ministries." The system Hamas established, in addition to allowing it to infiltrate nonprofit organizations, provided the terror group the ability to secure military positions under the cover of aid work... The new documents complement an earlier tranche of internal Hamas communications released in September that show that the International Committee of the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders knowingly set up shop in the same medical facilities the terror group used as command centers. Those disclosures generated allegations that the nonprofits knew they were operating alongside Hamas and allowed themselves to be pawns for the terror group, often while condemning Israel for conducting military operations at humanitarian sites. "By choosing to stay quiet and cooperate with the regime, NGOs not only provide cover for Hamas's abuses, they begin to internalize and adopt Hamas's own agenda and propaganda," according to NGO Monitor's analysis of the new documents. "The result is an aid sector that, in many cases, no longer acts independently or impartially, but instead functions within a terror-controlled system and becomes an integral part of misinformation and disinformation campaigns.""

None of the foundation’s success in providing over 840,000 meals so far seemed to translate on social media, where images of the aid handout were rapidly turned into memes comparing Gazans waiting for food to Jewish prisoners waiting at Auschwitz."

Terrorism supporters are going to need to find a new cope
Clearly, the fact that so many "credible" NGOs accuse Israel of genocide proves that they have committed genocide
Columbia’s own task force has finally admitted the truth. In a 70-page internal report, Columbia confirms that Jewish and Israeli students were harassed, isolated, and targeted. Not by fringe activists, but by the professors paid to teach them. Here’s what Columbia itself now admits:
• Israeli students were publicly called murderers in class
• Jewish students were told their people survived the Holocaust just to commit genocide
• A rare class on Zionism was disrupted simply for not being hostile to Jews
• Professors read private emails from Jewish students out loud to shame them
• Classes were canceled so students could protest Israel
• Others were held in “Zionist-free” protest camps. Open ethnic exclusion
• A required class of over 400 students was told Israel is “so-called Israel” and that Jewish donors were laundering blood money
• One professor denied Hamas sexual violence, calling the reports “exaggerated or fabricated” during a class on advocacy • Graduate students were told to “teach for Palestine” in every subject
• A professor claimed Theodor Herzl was an antisemite and that Eastern European Jews were not really Jewish
• Anti-Israel messaging was forced into astronomy, architecture, photography, nonprofit management, and more. Wherever they could inject antizionist hate, they did
• Columbia’s task force confirmed that swapping the word Jew for Zionist does not make it any less antisemitic
Columbia admits it has no full-time Middle East faculty who are NOT antizionist. In other words, every professor teaching the region wants to dissolve the world’s only Jewish state in the Jewish ancestral homeland. And the faculty behind it? Still employed. Still spreading antizionist hate. No accountability whatsoever. This report is not reform. It is a signed confession. Columbia engineered a campus-wide assault on Jewish identity and called it education. Bookmark this post. Spread the truth. Stop pretending this is a debate. This is a moral collapse. And it happened at one of America’s most "elite" institutions. No one gets to say “we didn’t know.” Now you do. (link to full report in comments.)"
Israeli students @Columbia were called out in class by faculty as occupiers and murderers. Jewish students were personally degraded as faculty turned the classroom into a kangaroo court, putting Israeli students in particular on trial for their identity in front of their peers. Faculty also used tropes to attack Jewish donors as "laundering blood money" and portray Jews as part of a system of "white supremacy, patriarchy and capitalism." @Columbia not only tolerated antisemitism, it hired and platformed faculty who masked it in academic jargon. A @Columbia faculty member READ A CONFIDENTIAL STUDENT EMAIL aloud in class. This is not only a grotesque violation of student privacy, it breaks all student-teacher trust. He weaponized the power imbalance of the classroom to punish dissent and silence Jewish students. Faculty also promoted antisemitic encampments; some moved classes there knowing "Zionists were not welcome." The message: if you're Jewish or Israeli, your access to equal education at @Columbia is conditional—on your silence, your politics, and your willingness to be excluded. We wish we could say @Columbia has moved past this. But the recent promotions of MULTIPLE faculty members involved in exactly some of the egregious incidents tell us otherwise. Columbia just got an F grade from @StopAntisemites. They deserve it. Read the full report :"
Steve McGuire on X - "“Another student, who had emailed a teacher objecting to the way she was framing the conflict in the Middle East, came to a subsequent class and heard his email, which he'd considered private, read aloud (without his permission) to the class by the teacher, who offered a line-by-line response.”"
Mark Zlochin - מארק זלוצ'ין༝ on X - "Turns out the source of these fake news is @julianborger from @guardian. Notably, in the body of the article he does initially write “treated”, rather than “hospitalized”, but even there he misrepresents what UNICEF actually said and casually inserts “severe” before “acute malnutrition”, because… why not? And then he immediately escalates it to “hospitalized” — even though, as I showed below, fewer than 1% of the identified children actually required hospitalization."
"Correct. It's catching a lot of bad/manipulated statistics and and bad journalism that fails to catch the poor reporting. When there's a fire hose of misinformation and no one wants to check it there can be a niche for someone who actually checks."
"If you're paid to advocate, you're already saying your biased and lack objectivity. You're just finding sources that already confirm your own biases."
"Oh, so reporters at Al Jazeera work for free and therefore have no biases?"
"Do you think there's no difference between the two? Its stated purpose is literally to shill for Israel."
"There's a major difference between the two. Honest Reporting is very open about its goals and objectives. Al Jazeera is the propaganda arm of one of Hamas's major state sponsors."
"Except that doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to provide misleading news, because the overwhelming majority of news they released was actually true. Whereas honestreporting goal isn't news, it's propaganda."
Bias only affects those who don't push the left wing agenda.
