Links - 8th November 2025 (2 - General Wokeness [including AAUP])

Thread by @EmmaJanePettit on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "There’s been a burst of debate around viewpoint diversity (an always controversial topic) in our pages and elsewhere. Will thread and describe the key arguments below… First, writing for the @AAUP's magazine, Lisa Siraganian at Johns Hopkins outlined seven theses against viewpoint diversity.  She argues it's incoherent, a partisan Trojan horse, and antithetical to academia's truth-seeking mission.
@AAUP Siraganian's essay was met with lots of criticism - from @TheFIREorg, @AEI, and Michael Clune in @chronicle, among others.  Their critiques varied. But essentially, they argued that Siraganian had lost the plot: Public trust in college has cratered. Entire disciplines have Strayed far from their fact-finding mission. Expanding the Overton Window of acceptable views is necessary to take higher ed off life support, they argue. A few links:
Siraganian responded, arguing that her critics were dismissing the broader political project at play:  "Contriving a smashup between 'viewpoint diversity' and academic freedom has been part of the right’s political project for a very long time."
But @asymmetricinfo isn't buying it. She highlights the fundamental agreement between higher ed and the public that many professors arguably ignore:  The public gives them money. They expect something in return - something other than ideological siloing.
My 2 cents, as someone who covers academic culture, is that I've made this point (less bluntly) to professors I interview, who are sometimes surprised they have this reputation. Or they insist higher ed isn't actually that left-leaning. (To which I say...let's look at the data.) When you work in any industry dominated by certain political assumptions and convictions, it can lead to a fishbowl effect. You stop seeing how others see you, and you start seeing the outside world through specific distortions. (Journalism is no different, of course.) But anecdotally, since the election, I've certainly heard more people I interview express the opinion that viewpoint diversity is needed in the academy.  It seems - again, anecdotally - that at least some profs are rethinking where and how higher ed went off-track"

Meme - American Assoc...: "Fascism generally doesn't do great under peer review, but perhaps it's the intellectual values of academia, which emphasizes critical inquiry & challenges traditional norms, that may be inherently less appealing to those with a more conservative worldview."

Meme - Steve McGuire @simcguire79: "After Charlie Kirk was assassinated, the AAUP published a statement condemning the wave of cancellations that ensued but saying nothing about the assassination itself. Then their president was caught on social media claiming Charlie's killer was a "right-wing kid." Now they mock Greg because FIRE is willing to defend the free speech rights of TPUSA chapters. Partisanship has eaten the AAUP alive."
Greg Lukianoff on X - "The self-congratulating fantasy in which a guild that exists to defend a trillion-dollar industry represents the forces of light against any critic—who by the way would have to be a fascist to see the obvious and systemic problems in higher ed—is not only deeply anti-intellectual, it's childish."
American Association of Univers... @AAUP: "Oh Greg, there's got to be right wing ideologue, Young Americans for Liberty, or Turning Point USA chapter out there that needs your urgent support..."

Tim Carney on X - "This is a memo to all Republicans: Please make sure universities get no federal funding, because the people who run them not only hate you, but reject you as legitimate players in our democracy."

University Professors' Union Backs Ideological Conformity in Higher Education | National Review - "Academics have long tried to have it both ways in claiming to support diversity and robust debate while excluding views that challenge left-wing orthodoxy. Now an influential academic publication is abandoning all pretense.  The American Association of University Professors (AAUP), a major union of academic professionals, states that it aims to “champion academic freedom, advance shared governance, [and] organize all faculty to promote education for the common good.”  And yet, AAUP’s magazine published an article titled “Seven Theses Against Viewpoint Diversity” by Lisa Siraganian, a professor at Johns Hopkins University and the president of her university’s AAUP chapter. It became the subject of some heated criticism, and a Chronicle reporter wrote a Twitter/X thread that fairly described some flaws in the article, particularly by pointing out that the broader public accurately perceives academia as leaning left... It is difficult to identify what is most wrong in the AAUP’s post. By arguing that academia skews left because “fascism” doesn’t survive intellectual scrutiny, the AAUP suggests that anyone who isn’t sufficiently progressive is a Nazi who needs to be ejected from higher education. Could there be a more stark confirmation of the public’s perception of universities as ideological hubs unaware of their own internal hegemony? Still, the AAUP applauds itself, its affiliates, and university culture as practicing “critical inquiry.”  It isn’t clear what the “intellectual values of academia” mean anymore given the affirmative action policies that undermine meritocracy, and the proliferation of pseudo-disciplines like “gender studies.” And while the AAUP believes that “peer review” is a rigorous process, it now functions as a mechanism to enforce a left-wing consensus. After all, purportedly “academic” articles that have been published in peer-reviewed or refereed journals include “Unsettling SpongeBob and the Legacies of Violence on Bikini Bottom,” “Refusal to forgive: Indigenous women’s love and rage,” “Queering Queer Conversations,” and “A decolonized mental health framework for black women and birthing people.” Supposedly serious “intellectual” institutions in the academic orbit are corrupted by progressive politics. For example, the American Psychological Association — which develops the APA style that is used in some universities, journals, and a range of scholarly works — issued an “apology to people of color” in 2021 for its “role in promoting, perpetuating, and failing to challenge racism, racial discrimination, and human hierarchy in U.S.” The APA encourages scholars to use “bias-free language” and follow its “inclusive language guide.” It also published an “Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Toolkit for Journal Editors” this year that instructs editors to “promote citation justice” by “including citations from underrepresented scholars to address citation bias” for the sake of fostering “equity and diversity in scholarly discourse.”  Similarly, as an effort to counteract the Trump administration’s anti-DEI initiatives, Nature Reviews Psychology recently declared that “scientists can demonstrate their commitment to DEI through actions that are not mandated by institutions,” therefore it explicitly advised authors to begin “diversifying citation practices.” In other words, purported scholarship should pick sources based on an author’s identity traits as opposed to the quality of argument or evidence.   In sum, the AAUP’s self-regard was unjustified and its insult was a confession that confirmed what conservatives have long said: Academia lacks ideological diversity, in part because its left-leaning members gleefully define any right-leaning individuals as moral dangers and systematically purge them from the institutions — be it through the admissions process, the peer-review system, the employment search, or the tenure track. The AAUP was right about only one thing: academics do in fact “challenge traditional norms,” but only insofar as they are attempting to coerce everyone to subscribe to progressive beliefs."

The Review: The AAUP’s revised concept of academic freedom - "the AAUP has in the last two years come to emphasize the corporate over the individual aspects of academic freedom, as in Committee A’s 2024 pronouncement that an “appropriate larger group, such as a faculty senate or a department,” can require DEI statements from faculty members for hiring or promotion. In a similar vein, the AAUP now believes that individual faculty members can be forced to conform to the terms of an academic boycott so long as “there was a democratic process followed” — or at least so Rana Jaleel, the chair of the AAUP’s Committee A on Academic Freedom, told me in 2024. In both cases, academic freedom as an individual right is subordinated to one or another vision of social justice, so long as that vision has some kind of majority support."

Geoffrey Miller on X - "Your periodic reminder that the leading American academic guild, @AAUP, has been entirely captured by leftist ideologues who view anyone to their right as a 'fascist'. 100% bubble, 0% self-awareness."
Megan McArdle on X - "I get a version of this response every time I write about viewpoint diversity, and it is mind-boggling to watch people simultaneously insisting that academia is super-open-minded and empirical and in no way a progressive bubble, and also that conservatives are all fascists."

Opinion | Two Champions of Academic Freedom Go to War - "Not for the first time, the AAUP — or at least its X account — has accused FIRE of mainly supporting right-wing causes, defending the token liberal here or there to keep up appearances. Lukianoff, by the same token, implied that the AAUP avoids defending conservatives. Is there any merit in either charge? FIRE told me that they don’t track data about the political affiliations of the professors they defend. But even a cursory glance at their record confirms that they have very often stepped in on behalf of faculty members associated with the left, and not just since the second Trump administration. In 2017, they intervened at Drexel University in the case of George Ciccariello-Maher, a left-wing faculty member accused of anti-white racist speech. In 2022, they sued Florida over the Stop WOKE Act’s restrictions on teaching about race and sex. More recently, they have chastised colleges for punishing or threatening to punish faculty members accused of making tasteless comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk; for banning teaching about “transgender topics”; for prohibiting a Black student group from hosting a “Black 2 Class Block Party”; for canceling drag performances, and so on. They filed an amicus brief in Mahdawi v. Trump, arguing that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents’ detention of a Columbia University student and pro-Palestinian protester was unlawful, and joined Stanford University’s student paper in a lawsuit against the secretary of state, Marco Rubio. The AAUP’s construal of FIRE as primarily devoted to right-wing causes is difficult to square with the evidence. For its part, the AAUP seems to have declined involvement in any number of high-profile speech furors over the last several years in which the targets of censorship were on the right or were accused of racism. In 2022, the Georgetown University law professor Ilya Shapiro was investigated for several months by his employer for a tweet deemed racist. In another case, the University of Michigan music professor Bright Sheng was penalized by his employer for showing a 1965 film version of Othello featuring Laurence Olivier in blackface. These were open-and-shut violations of academic freedom. FIRE intervened in both cases; the AAUP in neither. In fact, the AAUP’s Academe blog published an open letter condemning Sheng... the AAUP’s repeated response to questions about political bias in academe — “fascist ideology does not do very well in a peer-reviewed process,” in Todd Wolfson’s words, or “fascism generally doesn’t do great under peer review,” in the words of the AAUP’s X account — certainly give the impression that something like an official AAUP position is emerging. That position has two planks. First, it refuses to grant any legitimacy to the notion that some disciplines might be afflicted by a disabling degree of political homogeneity; after all, those complaining about being kept out are “fascists,” who by definition have no place. Second, it insists that if conservative ideas are underrepresented, that is only the result of good epistemic hygiene, as enforced by peer review. Ideas are not rejected for being conservative, but for being wrong. This is a convenient theory for defenders of the status quo, but it’s almost certainly incorrect. In fact, there is good evidence that political homogeneity and a commitment to activist politics has impaired the truth-seeking mission of some fields. The question of how ideological diversity, or its lack, affects knowledge production in fields like political science, social psychology, and sociology is a live and important one; Wolfson and the AAUP X account’s dismissiveness is unwarranted.  That said, the more incendiary part of the AAUP’s rhetoric — the accusation of fascism — in fact names a sticky problem for the viewpoint-diversity movement. As Nicolas Langlitz explains in our pages, since “the quest for diversity was inherently limitless,” it “would eventually have to include even the most extreme positions.” He quotes a group of German social psychologists: “We do not know how much diversity would be necessary to reduce these [liberal] biases. Would it be enough to include liberals and conservatives? Or should communists, fascists, and even terrorists also be included?”"

Steven N. Durlauf on X - "This statement is disgraceful, hardly unique, and indicates why the AAUP has nothing to offer in fighting the unprecedented threats to academic freedom that are occurring.    Make no mistake, issuing statements such as this indicates the AAUP does not intrinsically give a damn about academic freedom. To suggest that conservatives are somehow as less committed to the values of the academy is to define conservative scholars as suspect.  As the author knows full well, such statements are evidence in support of claims that universities are ideologically biased against conservatives.  And on the merits, the claim is as idiotic as one that says   Leninism generally doesn’t do great under peer review, but perhaps the intellectual values of academia, which emphasizes critical inquiry & challenges traditional norms, make it inherently more appealing to those with a more liberal worldview.

Jack Goldsmith on X - "perfect, and perfectly revealing, in every detail"

Stephen R. C. Hicks on X - "What an (a) odd and (b) disturbing response to a criticism of AAUP's ideological biases.
(a) Fascism has done well under peer review, as Heidegger, Schmitt and other fascists have generated whole industries of academic literature by current-generation sympathizers and critics.
(b) Note the slide in a single sentence from Fascism to conservative, as though those are substitutable labels. Could be sloppiness by the sentence's author, but more likely is the usual rhetorical trick of package-dealing.
(I'm a liberal, and AAUP's anti-conservative bias is obvious to me.)"

Itai Sher on X - "The AAUP responds to a thread on viewpoint diversity & whether academia skews left with “fascism doesn’t do great under peer review” and an attack on the conservative worldview generally I think the AAUP needs new leadership; at least someone else to run its social media account"
Anna Su (theannasu@bsky.social) on X - "With friends like this academics don't need enemies. A very big disservice to the profession when it's at its most precarious"
David Decosimo on X - "The AAUP is crashing out. What was once a storied organization for defending the principles essential for truth-seeking & knowledge-production has become a tired embodiment of the bigoted, ignorant, partisan, self-deluded, anti-intellectual grift currently wrecking academia. Sad."is

Steve McGuire on X - "Talk about saying the quiet part out loud. What a disastrous position for the faculty union to take. And then people will deny that there’s significant discrimination against conservatives in higher ed."
Once again, "this is not happening, and it's good that it is"

Jay Bhattacharya on X - "This is as pure a distillation of academic bigotry as one could ever expect to see openly expressed. The bigotry undermines science. Academic group think supported unscientific ideas like lockdowns, mask mandates, immunity denial, vax mandates and so much covid era nonsense."

James Surowiecki on X - "I have many problems with MAGA, obviously. But one of the biggest problems with it is that it's essentially incurious and intellectually lazy, which is how you end up with mindless tweets like this."
i/o on X - "I'm not going to disagree with this, but I am going to "both-sides" it: One of my complaints during the Great Awokening was about how intellectually lazy and incurious the wokes are. Most of their online discourse could be reduced to a few dozen stock ideas, phrases and bullet points. I remember once watching this YouTube lecture by a morbidly obese Chicanx assistant professor at some Cali state school and after about 20 minutes of it suddenly realizing that the entirety of what I had just listened to was nothing more than boilerplate — a repetition of the most vapid woketarded articles of faith you could imagine. It occurred to me that this woman had probably never possessed a single original idea in her entire academic career, and, as an affirmative action mediocrity, there was probably no incentive for her to develop that ability. After all, her exalted station on the intersectional pyramid rendered her nearly immune from the possibility of criticism (or, as she would put it, "violence"). As retarded as much of MAGA is, I would be the first to acknowledge that at least that their retardation isn't propped up and rewarded and subsidized by our most esteemed institutions. For this reason, I doubt I'll ever despise them the way that I despise the wokes."

Most Trekkies Are Republicans, Star Trek Can Embrace It Or Die - "A solid five to ten percent of Star Trek’s audience is female. That’s great, but 5% is not enough to fuel an entire franchise... In the past, Star Trek often explored ideas outside mainstream thought. For instance, the first officer on Deep Space Nine is a former terrorist, in a time when America was hyper-sensitive to terrorist violence. That worked for the show because even though Kira’s past might have seemed edgy and unacceptable to older male audience members, it appealed to younger ones willing to consider the consequences of living a life of violence. Kira’s past as a terrorist was never glorified or endorsed, only explored. It allowed Trekkies with more flexible minds to consider the world from a point of view they’d never seen before. That made it relevant in the current time but also timeless since there’s nothing about Kira’s past that’s specific to the real world in which her character was written. That’s not what Star Trek is doing now. Pronoun culture is not counter-culture, and it’s definitely not timeless. It’s of the moment and the prevailing message in most mainstream entertainment. If you’re being pressured to add pronouns to your LinkedIn profile, that’s as mainstream as it gets. Adding a non-binary teen to Star Trek: Discovery and lecturing the audience on gender pronouns probably appealed to a couple of aging hippy Boomers on their way out to a No Kings protest, but it caused most men to switch off. The mistake people make when talking about this subject is in assuming Star Trek started out with a progressive bent, just because it considered liberal views. That’s wrong. Star Trek was above liberalism, conservatism, and all types of isms. That was the point of the series, and that’s why it has had such enduring and broad appeal. Early Trek would never have lowered itself to subscribing to any sort of limiting set of modern ideologies. Instead, the show’s beating heart was its willingness to explore ideas outside the mainstream, whatever they might be, and then let its audience decide for itself if those were ideas worth having... In the 1960s, an interracial kiss was outside the mainstream. Now that it’s so mainstream, it’s no longer interesting. If Star Trek had made an episode where it lectured the audience on the importance of interracial mating, it would now be cringey and irrelevant. Trek was much too smart for that. Or it used to be. Now, Star Trek seems to think that espousing the views shared by the late-night talk shows watched by your grandma is edgy rock and roll. Where Trek once examined complex ideas outside the mainstream, it now demands its audience adhere to ideas from the mainstream. Ideas that its core audience, men, hates. They’ve accelerated that male audience alienation strategy with the upcoming series Starfleet Academy, a spinoff of Discovery. Star Trek’s new series has commercials featuring Klingons wearing skirts, lectures about climate change, and plenty of the current-year political jargon your average Karen soaks up from CNN.
Fan Replacement Theory In Action
Most other modern, male-audience franchises have the same problem, and they’ve all tried to solve it not by making stories that reflect the values of modern men, but rather by trying to replace their male viewers with female ones who will think the right thoughts. It doesn’t work. It never has, not even once. The best example of this is Star Wars, which has been obsessively focused on attracting female viewers for years now... Star Wars has proven you can’t convince women who share your politics to take over the viewing spots once held by men. That means Star Trek is stuck with males as its only significant demographic at the same time it’s doing everything it can to make men hate it."

Dan Eriksson on X - "So today, a socialist mayor in Germany was stabbed and is now fighting for her life. The media chorus was instant: Nazis are back. Hate is rising. Democracy under attack. Then reality arrived. Her 15-year-old adopted black son was taken away in handcuffs. Earlier this year, police were called to the same address when her 17-year-old adopted daughter threatened her with a knife, according to Die Welt. This isn’t a story about “right-wing violence.” It’s a story about a society so obsessed with its own moral performance that it can’t even see the blade coming from within its own narrative."

NDP leadership rivals at odds over 'purity test' framing - "A schism opened between two of the top contenders in the NDP leadership race on Wednesday night, as Avi Lewis jabbed rival Heather McPherson over her use of a term he says has right-wing roots. Lewis said in a media scrum that he wasn’t a fan of McPherson’s repeated use of the term “purity test” to frame the party’s recent struggles in growing its appeal... McPherson said on Wednesday evening that she wasn’t going to drop “purity test” from her campaign lexicon. “There has been a problem where we’ve made politics small, we’ve excluded people from our party … and every single part of me wants to make that bigger party so that people see themselves there. And that means everybody,” said McPherson. McPherson had previously said at her late September campaign launch that the party needed to be less exclusionary as it embarked on a rebuild... Gazan, who is of mixed Indigenous, Chinese and Jewish ancestry, said that McPherson’s use of the term was a not too subtle call to put “white, male and able-bodied workers” at the forefront of the party. She added that the language disempowers minorities by “framing their calls for justice as ‘ideological purity’ instead of principled resistance.”"
If you use the term "purity test", you've failed a purity test

The NDP is debating building a big tent orreturning to labour roots - "“From knocking on around 10,000 doors myself … I can tell you that Canadians, at least in Vancouver, were super confused. Jagmeet seemed so angry at Justin all the time, and yet he was still supporting him and keeping his government in place,” said Lewis... Lewis has come out of the gate swinging, promising to break up major grocery, telecom and banking oligopolies, and slap a wealth tax on high-net-worth Canadians. He says that the revenue accrued from making those at the top pay their fair share will help fund big-ticket social policies like a national rent cap, public option for groceries, and expanded national prescription and mental health care coverage... Clement Nocos, director of policy and engagement at the Broadbent Institute, says that image does matter in social democratic politics, as shown by the frequent criticisms Singh received for wearing expensive suits and toting luxury items... Nocos said this criticism was unfair, as Singh has explained that he dressed meticulously to overcome implicit racial bias. He nevertheless conceded that Singh’s sartorial choices weren’t always “communicated properly” to the public and ended up becoming a distraction."
"Building a big tent" just means identity politics on steroids and the opposite of what it pretends to say

Toronto kids’ agency has own anti-racism group – no whites allowed - "The group, called the CABR (confronting anti-Black racism) strategic advisory circle, differs from City Hall’s dedicated CABR unit, made up of a handful of staff at Toronto’s social development division. (There is a third body, the CABR advisory committee, which meets every few months and reports to council.) A document says membership is limited to no more than 20 “Black staff within children’s services,” a municipal division based out of Metro Hall that helps place kids in child care, assists agencies with programming and services, and also oversees the dozens of Toronto Early Learning and Child Care Services centres, or TELCCS, run by City Hall. That “terms of reference” document, which the Sun obtained in a freedom-of-information request, says the advisory circle’s role is to provide “advice on the development, implementation and evaluation of initiatives, policies and programs” for children’s services. The group “employs an anti-oppression framework,” the document adds."

Trans Grooming in Schools

"In the last decade, therapists promoted the gender dysphoria craze, which led to a 4,000 percent increase in diagnoses for teen girls. A growing army of young women who regret their medical transitions, “detransitioners,” tell strikingly similar stories. Very often, when they trace their lives back to the junction where things sped dramatically off course, there stood a shrink playing railway signalman, flipping the switch.

This shouldn’t surprise us. The human brain is perhaps the world’s most complex and least understood organic structure. Fixing the problems of the human mind is incomparably more difficult than setting a broken bone. We can’t expect therapists to fail less often than medical doctors. But we can expect more transparency and humility than practitioners typically bring to discussions of therapy’s limitations.

“In psychotherapy, psychologists help people of all ages live happier, healthier, and more productive lives,” declares the American Psychological Association.

There is, alas, no proof that they accomplish any of that in aggregate. Wanting to help is just not the same as helping...

There’s a problem with in-school therapy, an ethical compromise, which arguably corrupts its very heart. In a remarkably underregulated profession, therapists still have a few ethical bright lines. And among the clearest is—or was—the prohibition on “dual relationships.”

As psychologist and author Lori Gottlieb explains, “The relationship in the therapy room needs to be its own, distinct and apart,” she writes. “To avoid an ethical breach known as a dual relationship, I can’t treat or receive treatment from any person in my orbit—not a parent of a kid in my son’s class, not the sister of coworkers, not a friend’s mom, not my neighbor.”

This ethical guardrail exists to protect a patient from exploitation. A patient may reveal her deepest secrets and vulnerabilities to her therapist. Anyone possessing this much knowledge of a patient’s private life may be tempted to exert undue power. And so the profession makes “dual relationships” off limits.

Except that school counselors, school psychologists, and social workers enjoy a dual relationship with every kid who comes to see them. They know all a kid’s best friends; they may even treat a few of them with therapy. They know a kid’s parents and their friends’ parents. They know the boy a girl has a crush on, what romantically transpired between them, and how the relationship ended. They know a kid’s teammates and coaches and the teacher who’s giving him a hard time. And they report, not to a kid’s parents, but to the school administration. It’s a wonder we allow these in- school relationships at all.

he American Counseling Association appears to have noticed the obvious problem. In 2006, it revised the ACA Code of Ethics. While still prohibiting sexual relationships with current clients, it decided that “nonsexual” dual relationships were no longer prohibited—especially those that “could be beneficial to the client.”

As school counselors and psychologists came to see themselves as students’ “advocates,” they slipped into a dual relationship with their students: part therapist; part academic intermediary; part parenting coach. Today, school counselors and psychologists commonly evaluate, diagnose, and treat students with individual therapy; meet with their friends; intervene with their teachers; and pass them in the lunchroom. A teen who has just spent a tear-soaked hour telling the school counselor her deepest secrets might reasonably be fearful of upsetting anyone with that much power over her life.

But are school counselors and social workers exerting undue influence over kids?

Over the past two years, so inundated have I been with parents’ stories of school counselors encouraging a child to try on a variant gender identity, even changing the child’s name without telling the parents, that I’ve almost wondered if there are any good school counselors. One parent I interviewed told me that her son’s high school counselor had given him the address of a local LGBTQ youth shelter where he might seek asylum and attempt to legally liberate himself from loving parents.

There are good school counselors; I interviewed several. But the power structure’s all wrong. Grant a leader the powers of a monarch, and he may gift his subjects freedom—but what’s to tether him to his promises? That’s placing a whole lot of trust in an individual counselor’s conscience.

You might respond at this point: Fortunately, my child has never been to see the school counselor. But more likely, you don’t know. In California, Illinois, Washington, Colorado, Florida, and Maryland, minors twelve or thirteen and up are statutorily entitled to access mental health care without parental permission. Schools are not only under no obligation to inform parents that their kids are meeting regularly with a school counselor, they may even be barred from doing so.

As long as a parent has not specifically forbidden it, a school counselor may be able to conduct a therapy session with a minor child without parental consent. School counselors are encouraged to make “judgment calls” about what information, gleaned in sessions with minor children, they may keep secret from the children’s parents.

Even in states that require parents to be notified of their kids’ in-school therapy, school social workers remain free to meet informally with a child and inquire about her sexual orientation, gender identity, or parents’ divorce; such conversations often do not count as “therapy.”"

The Speaker of the Madrid Assembly ordered the removal of a Palestinian flag from the seat of a “Más Madrid” deputy, who skipped the session to join the Gaza flotilla. “She’s had that little flag for too long.

Hen Mazzig on X - "Israelis in Spain report frozen bank accounts amid new royal decree “against the genocide in Gaza.” Spain’s Banco Sabadell is facing accusations of discriminatory treatment after demanding that all its Israeli clients sign declarations confirming they have no business ties to Israeli settlements. The forms require transaction details, addresses, an end-user information, and a written confirmation that products “do not originate from Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.” A Sabadell representative said that activity has been restricted and that every payment now requires approval from the bank’s compliance department. Several companies have received warnings that funds from Israel will not be released unless the declarations are submitted, effectively freezing accounts and leaving clients unable to access their own money. Critics argue that the bank is applying the royal decree too aggressively, noting that it officially obliges only Spanish companies, not their clients, to confirm compliance. Do you think Spain applies the same rules to Lebanese businesses with ties to Hezbollah or Iranian companies linked to Tehran, or is this once again the privilege of the Jews? At this point, “Spain, antisemitic since 1492” should be the country’s new slogan."

Hamas sheltered in hospitals and schools. It's an active partnership in terror. The world MUST stop turning a blind eye. Where is the UN accountability?"

יוסף חדאד - Yoseph Haddad on X - "The Hague International Court ruled that Israel can’t stop UNRWA from operating in Gaza because it didn’t provide sufficient evidence that Hamas terrorists had infiltrated the organization and made it a ‘non-neutral body.’ I’m rubbing my eyes because I just do not believe it! What more evidence do you need?! Was it not enough for you that UNRWA employees participated in the massacre, kidnapped Israelis, and held hostages in their homes? Was it not enough to see that UNRWA infrastructure and schools in Gaza served as Hamas headquarters?! What would have been enough? How further must you see Hamas's infiltration of UNRWA for you to be convinced? Must they first change the color of the logo to Hamas green?! The Hague has long since lost relevance and has become a biased, antisemitic, terror-supporting body, and continues to prove it time and time again!"

Eylon Levy on X - "UNRWA has an amazing business model. It fuels wars then claims those wars make it necessary. Reminder: Most of the October 7 terrorists were graduates of UNRWA’s education system. For the sake of Gaza’s children, UNRWA must be dismantled immediately."

Vietnam, climate change, Gaza: the causes change but the impulse remains the same - "Whatever happened to Just Stop Oil?... if Greta Thunberg, the erstwhile child saint of the environmental movement, is anything to go by, many of them have simply laid down the placards which warned about the dangers of global warming and picked up the ones which proclaim support for Palestine. The pro-Palestine marches which have become a regular feature of weekend life in London are, of course, of a different order. There are international and military repercussions which follow from what they are demanding – as well as immediate consequences for religious communities within our own country. The gravity of those differences would suggest that the tenor of these demonstrations and the inclinations of their participants should be strikingly unalike: one cause pledges itself to protect all life on earth, while the other threatens its enemies with vengeance and death. And yet, it is impossible not to be struck by how similar they are. The students who are now shouting for a free Palestine (and sometimes, appallingly, for the death of “Zionists” – which is to say, Jews) and the elderly contingent (ex-CND?) who insist on being carried bodily from the scene, could just as easily have been yesterday’s throwers of paint and gluers of hands on a mission to save the Planet. I feel particularly qualified to comment on this phenomenon – the addictive attraction of mass movement solidarity – because I spent a good portion of my youth participating in it. As regular readers may recall, I was a member of the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley, the original student activist uprising which set the pattern for what became known as the international student revolution... the experience of solidarity itself, the camaraderie of being part of a movement which you believe to be morally righteous is unique. It is a kind of ecstatic revelation which once, I suppose, belonged to religious experience... It has certainly been the force behind some of the greatest – and some of the worst – social developments in history. It can be Wordsworth’s “very heaven”, or the malign terror that drives race wars."
As Dawkins observed, the retreat of Christianity has opened the way to worse

Why is the Intifada crowd silent on Sudan? - "For the past 18 months, the city of el-Fashir in Darfur has endured a brutal siege. Over two hundred thousand civilians are trapped, cut off from basic supplies, as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has seized control from the army. Hundreds of unarmed civilians have been murdered in ethnically motivated attacks. Many are being held hostage for eye-watering ransom payments. Some are being hunted down by armed militias. Researchers at Yale believe that the level of violence is comparable to that of the first day of the Rwandan genocide. It is impossible to estimate the death toll. Satellite pictures of el-Fashir show blood-stained sands and piles of burnt vehicles. The UN’s assistant secretary-general for Africa Martha Pobee says that “no one is safe”. We may be witnessing a a true genocide. In 2023, when el-Fashir was besieged, an estimated 15,000 people were killed and displaced. So where are the protests?... Some aid groups believe it to be the world’s worst humanitarian crisis... Fashionable conflicts all have a few things in common. Firstly, they need to be clear cut (or at least, advocates need to believe they are clear cut). In the case of Gaza, Israel has been branded the villain, and the Palestinians the victims. In Sudan, it’s hard for progressives to pick a side. The Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces have both inflicted harm on civilians. Neither group can be branded colonisers, and the whole saga has been buried in complexity far too confusing for the average student politician to understand via one Instagram infographic. Progressives also like to fashion foreign wars into proxy battles about British politics. The Israel-Gaza war serves these ends perfectly. The Jews in Israel are seen by most of the Left as a privileged group. Palestinians are cast as the persecuted ethnic minority. Fashionable assumptions about racism in the UK map perfectly on to the issue. There are also around four million Muslims in the UK, and many of them have come to interpret the war in Gaza as an assault on their faith. These factors have kept activists on the streets, week after week, regardless of positive developments – like the recent ceasefire in the region. The civil war in Sudan lacks these dimensions. It is not one ethnicity against another, or one privileged group against a minority. One of the most consistently targeted groups has been the small Sudanese Christian population, who have seen constant attacks on their churches, confiscation of property and the persecution of key religious leaders. But while one in seven Christians across the world live in situations with at least a “high” level of persecution, domestic protesters refuse to identify the group as one worthy of support. For two decades, Darfur has been the crisis progressives chose not to see. The silence of activists when faced with its tangled realities exposes a truth closer to home: the unrest we’ve witnessed in Britain these past two years was never about foreign policy. Some wars become fashionable. Those that resist neat slogans or Left-wing talking points are quietly abandoned to burn in the dark."

This is the real genocide the West doesn’t care about - "This bloodbath dwarfs Gaza in scale and contrasts with it starkly in terms of intent. No humanitarian corridors. No leaflets to warn innocents to flee. No provision of aid. Not even the pretence of drawing a distinction between civilians and combatants. Moreover, as I have explored before in these pages, the most cursory of glances at the UN’s flawed workings reveals that the Gaza conflict was a war, not a genocide. Yet where is the outrage? I’m being a little facetious. Nobody would be gullible enough to expect the Free Palestine mob to suddenly take to the streets with placards demanding an end to the genocide in el-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, Sudan. Nobody imagined that there would be chants of “death, death to the RSF”. We know by now that the selective empathy of the Gaza crowd is the servant of a cynical agenda. In truth, however, if you were going to wish death on anybody, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) would surely be up there. The bastard child of the feared Janjaweed militias has a well-deserved reputation for the most depraved war crimes – including rape and ethnic massacres. A society that had not been saturated with Israelophobic propaganda would surely show far more concern. After all, Darfur has suffered a true genocide before, in the early Noughties, which claimed up to 300,000 lives. It is officially commemorated on Holocaust Memorial Day. So much for Never Again... It’s true what they say: no Jews, no news. From one point of view, it is human nature to be preoccupied with relatable conflicts. When I was a foreign reporter, I was often dispatched to cover atrocities – the gruesome 2019 Easter Bombings in Sri Lanka come to mind – with clear instructions to concentrate on the Western, and ideally British, victims. It might not be noble but things have always gone that way. The brilliantly-titled book by the iconic foreign correspondent Edward Behr, Anyone Here Been Raped And Speaks English?, was published back in 1975. That is how the media works, largely because that is how people work. But human nature is insufficient to explain the swivel-eyed frenzy over Gaza, which rages on despite the ceasefire. After two years of wall-to-wall coverage of the conflict, much of it laughably biased, many ordinary folk suffer from compassion fatigue. We have reached a point where a fake genocide has stifled our sympathies for a real one. Meanwhile, the activists march on against a war that has ended and a genocide that never existed. What is their true agenda? Forget Sudan. Never mind Israel. To find out, ask them for their feelings about Britain and the West."

Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X - "No due process for Hamasniks in the West? If "pro-Palestine" imbeciles are going to justify Hamas's execution of Gazans by simply labeling anyone the terrorists kill as an "Israeli collaborator," then by the same logic, Western governments have every right to deport, imprison, and de-naturalize these activists by simply calling them "Hamas collaborators" and terror enthusiasts, which is actually often the truth and the case? The same people who cried about the rights of immigrants, visa holders, and international students to due process are the same ones who are perfectly fine with summary executions of Gazans, citing examples of the "French" and "Algerian" resistance movements doing the same. This cult deserves a taste of its own medicine, especially because the cultists regularly scream about the need to destroy the West and, with it, Western-style values of due process, trial, and the right to legal representation."

Terrorism supporters can't tell the difference between prisoners and hostages

Amit Segal on X - "As desperate as Israelis are for the hostages to come home, many in the Jewish state are distressed, to say the least, by the Palestinian terrorists being released in the deal. Given that it doesn’t receive as much attention as it deserves in Western media, I’ll take this moment to briefly explore some of the nearly 2,000 Palestinians being released from Israeli jails. Hilmi Abdul Karim Muhammad Hammash, who coordinated a 2004 suicide bombing on a bus in Jerusalem, killing 11 Israelis and wounding 50. Morad Bader Abdullah Adais. In 2016, he stabbed to death Dafna Meir, a 38-year-old mother to 6, in front of her teenage daughter, at the entrance to their home in Otniel. Jihad A-Karim Azziz Rom. 25 years ago today, IDF reservists Vadim Norzhich and Yosef Avrahami accidentally drove into Ramallah, and were detained by Palestinian Authority police. Once word got out that two Israeli soldiers were at the police station, a crowd gathered outside the station, before eventually breaking in, where they beat and stabbed Norzhich and Avrahami to death. Azziz Rom participated in the lynching, as well as the kidnapping and murder of 18-year-old Yuri Gushchin in 2001. Few, if any, Palestinian terror attacks are seared into the Israeli psyche as deeply as the Ramallah lynching, thanks to a TV crew capturing the moment Aziz Salha ran out to proudly show his blood-soaked hands to the Palestinian crowd outside the police station. (An IDF airstrike in Gaza late last year killed Salha.) That may be shocking enough, but for an even deeper understanding of how gruesome the murder was — and why it’s forever stained into Israelis’ memories — it’s worth reading the @Telegraph ’s report following the incident. “Two soldiers, held on the first floor, were beaten and stabbed to death. Television showed one of the attackers run to the second floor window and make a victory sign and then return to the fray. In the background, several men were seen pounding on something or someone on the floor. The crowd erupted into cheers. The attackers tossed one of the men out of the window, another out the door. One of the soldiers was seen dangling upside down, apparently attached to a rope. The crowd stood below, waving fists and cheering. The body was dropped into the compound, where the mob stamped on the corpse and beat it with the broken bars of a window grille… At 10.30 the mob dragged the two bodies to Al-Manara Square, the town centre, where an impromptu victory celebration began.” And those are just 3 of the prisoners Israel is releasing in order to bring the hostages home. Tomorrow, God willing, Israeli parents, spouses and children will embrace their loved ones once again after 738 days of hell. And somewhere else, the men who tore other families apart will walk out of prison to applause. That contrast says it all."

‘Death to the IDF’ chant wasn’t inciting violence, claim band at centre of Glastonbury anti-Semitism storm - "It emerged earlier that BBC boss Tim Davie was 'consulted on the IDF chant' while attending Glastonbury moments after the controversial performance. Mr Davie, who was visiting Worthy Farm at the time of the performance, was reportedly briefed on the situation by BBC staff, ultimately deciding that the performance should not be made available for playback. However, the performance was still allowed to go out on livestream, meaning the controversial 'death to the IDF' chants could be viewed for around five hours after the performance took place."

Birmingham’s Jews live in fear of city that’s become hotbed of sectarianism - "“I don’t feel comfortable as a very physically identifiable Jew walking around.” Over the course of three decades as a religious leader in Solihull, Rabbi Yehuda Pink has learnt to avoid Birmingham city centre. When The Telegraph visits, the day after a decision is made to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, it’s difficult to find any Jewish people on the streets... Michael Rowe, 25, who lives in nearby Edgbaston, is sitting on a chair with his hands folded calmly in his lap as he tells The Telegraph a woman shouted “we don’t want Jews here – we don’t want you here” from her car while he leafleted in Northfield in 2024. Gesturing to his kippah, he said: “I’m obviously visibly Jewish.” Two weeks after a terrorist carried out a car-ramming and knife attack at Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester, killing Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, Jews in Birmingham are increasingly afraid of being seen in their community. Arnie Kaplan, 73, who describes himself as a “proud Jew and proud Aston Villa supporter”, said some parts of Birmingham were like “1933 Germany” rather than 2025 Britain. “I have friends who have removed mezuzahs from their houses and there are people who do not wear the Star of David on their necks or Jewish school blazers.” When asked what kind of intimidation takes place, he said: “We have people who drive through Edgbaston in their cars shouting death to the Jews.” The effects of mass migration on Aston, the inner-city home of the Premier League football club, has been cited as a factor in the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from supporting their team at a match on Nov 6. Some 70 per cent of its residents are now Muslim, making it one of the most Islamic parts of the country. A majority, 69.8 per cent of residents are Asian, while 16.1 per cent are black. Just 7.6 per cent are white, and 44.3 per cent of the population was born abroad... “I’ll be very honest with you,” Rabbi Yehuda, the 55-year-old leader of orthodox Solihull Synagogue, said. “I myself hesitate to go into Birmingham. I would be afraid of being physically attacked and even more afraid that the police would not intervene were it be something that wasn’t physical, but someone being extremely aggressive and abusive.” Despite his reservations, he was angered by the decision to ban Israeli fans from Villa Park, calling it “pure discrimination”. “It’s sending a very pure message that while there’s anti-Semitism, the response isn’t to confront hate, it’s to restrict the victims.” And the Jewish communities’ fears are well-founded. After the ban, it emerged that Asrar Rashid, a Birmingham-based Islamic preacher, had previously given a lecture that “mercy has its time and place”. However, speaking in Amsterdam on Oct 1, he added of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, “we will not show them rahma”, which is Arabic for mercy, compassion and love. Birmingham had the fourth-highest number of reported anti-Semitic incidents of any city in the UK from January to June 2025, according to the Community Security Trust (CST)... Robert Jenrick was recently called “racist” for saying Birmingham was home to one of the “worst-integrated places” he had ever visited. But just 10 days later, the Conservative shadow justice secretary appears to have been vindicated after the police admitted they could not keep Israeli football fans safe at a match against Aston Villa. The area’s changing demographic has been accompanied by an outpouring of what critics, including Nigel Farage, call “sectarian politics”. Last year, the constituency, which includes Aston, was one of four to elect a Gaza independent running on an explicitly pro-Palestine ticket... The prohibition of Israeli fans at Villa Park has been praised by other pro-Palestine independents, with Zarah Sultana comparing it to boycotts of apartheid South Africa. “The same people who called Nelson Mandela a ‘terrorist’ now say we can’t boycott apartheid Israel,” she said. Formerly a Liberal Democrat councillor on Birmingham city council, Mr Khan attracted controversy following the Oct 7 terror attack when he said he had not seen evidence of whether Hamas terrorists had raped Israeli women. He later declined to take anti-Semitism training offered to him by the party after being cleared of wrongdoing in an investigation... He was also accused of a “grotesque minimisation of terrorism” by the Campaign Against Antisemitism in August after he equated Hamas hostage Emily Damari’s experience of being held captive to the lives of people in Gaza... The area was also where terror plot ringleader Irfan Naseer studied pharmacy at university. Naseer was given a life sentence in 2013 for plotting to detonate up to eight bombs in rucksacks in what he had boasted would be “another 9/11”, having been arrested in 2011 amid fears an attack was imminent. Last month, West Midlands Police raided a house in Aston in connection with a separate counter-terror investigation."

Palestinian Ministry of In...: "Ministry of Interior: The anticipated Israeli mechanism for distributing aid in Gaza is completely unacceptable, and we call on our people not to cooperate with it, as the occupation will use the aid distribution as a security and intelligence operation under the cover of the Israeli-funded "Gaza Foundation."
Ministry of Interior: We will not hesitate to fulfill our duty to secure and protect aid trucks, and we will not allow the creation of bodies collaborating with the occupation in areas controlled by its army. Anyone who cooperates with the occupation in imposing its agenda will pay the price, and we will take the necessary measures against them."

If you were, you'd be demanding the eradication of Hamas by any means necessary, and if you did that, you'd come to the ugly realization that most of them support the terror because they are a culture of death."

Hamas racing to entrench itself in Gaza - "The long-suffering staff of the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme thought they were finally safe. Having been bombed out of multiple facilities during two years of war, they were making the most of the newfound ceasefire to treat patients in their rented accommodation in Gaza City when armed men burst in. According to multiple sources, the gunmen were Hamas militants. Despite the clinic being a lifeline to hundreds, they violently evicted the staff and took over the premises, later moving in their own families. Just two days earlier, the terror group had been hiding in tunnels for fear of Israeli airstrikes; still fighting, but on the ropes. But within hours of the IDF withdrawal – step one of Donald Trump’s peace plan – the group was swarming back across the city and many other of the Strip’s key urban areas, as if the past two years had never happened. The attack on the mental health hub on Oct 13, condemned by the World Health Organisation, turned out to be an early stage of a ruthlessly efficient campaign of renewed domination. Reprisals, beatings, interrogations, disappearances and mass public executions became, almost overnight, the new reality for the exhausted population. The brutality prompted a spokesman for the Palestinian security forces in Ramallah to liken the behaviour to Islamic State. At the same time, Hamas has been recruiting, re-arming and reorganising, as well as repairing its tunnel network, The Telegraph’s analysis of open source data and interviews with security experts have found... Kobi Michael, a former head of the Palestinian desk at Israel’s ministry of strategic affairs, said Hamas showed every sign of racing to redefine the reality on the ground in post-war Gaza so as to make them impossible to dislodge, whatever the Trump plan says. “Every day they are making lots of progress,” he said. “Hamas has not changed its DNA; they do not intend to disarm themselves. They do not intend to leave the Gaza Strip and not be part of the day after.”... Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, an influential Gazan political analyst and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, said this week: “Now that they have given up the living hostages, the only bargaining chips that Hamas has is its dominion and control over the two million Palestinians who still live in the Gaza strip. In the two weeks since the ceasefire came into effect, Hamas have reopened their “interrogation” centres in Gaza’s main hospitals – a phenomenon The Telegraph documented during the war. Dozens have since been summoned for questioning, Gazans have claimed. Some have alleged that social media influencers and others who spoke out during the fighting, when Hamas was less able to mete out reprisals, have now gone silent or disappeared altogether. Analysts such as Mr Alkhatib have pointed out that Hamas has conducted the crackdown under a general banner of security and restoring order. Dedicated channels on platforms such as Telegram display an almost daily feed of videos showing transgressors having their legs broken with iron poles or their knees smashed to pieces... A lot will depend on the makeup and toughness of the proposed international stabilisation force. Israel has ruled out a role for Turkey, although the White House is pressuring Mr Netanyahu to be open-minded. Currently, Indonesia and Azerbaijan look the most likely nations to contribute troops. This has not inspired confidence that the force will have the teeth and aggression to force a proper disarmament. Israeli security experts look at the widely ridiculed UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, Unifil, which manifestly failed to stop the growth of Hezbollah. Hamas has recently put out social media posts asking civilians to inform them when they come across unexploded munitions – of which there is a vast amount in the Strip – leading to fears they will be repurposed for future fighting. Meanwhile, Gaza’s civilians, most of whom are homeless, continue to live on the edge of survival in overcrowded refugee areas as winter approaches. One man, who spoke anonymously for fear of reprisals, said: “There are tens of thousands of Gazans waiting to leave the hell of living in tents. “Reconstruciton will not happen until Hamas agrees to the terms of the deal and yet we see Hamas policing the road, armed men everywhere. “We didn’t expect to see this upon the signing of the peace. Gaza is in a dark cycle.”"

Messages sent to Washington said mediators had been too lenient with Hamas on disarmament and enforcement... The critique centers on Hamas’s conduct since the ceasefire. The warnings cite armed street displays, extortion of merchants, assassinations of clan rivals, and categorical refusals to disarm... A Saudi official underscored the red line, arguing Hamas “has inflicted enormous harm on the Palestinian people” and “will sabotage any force” that tries to restore order. He added that without a serious move to end Hamas’s influence in Gaza, “there is no chance of its rehabilitation and reconstruction.”"

Bonchie on X - "They all made fun of Jared Kushner, but he has now secured two major Middle East peace deals where all his predecessors failed. What does that say about those predecessors and their supposed “expertise,” along with a press who gargles credentials while ignoring results?"
Clearly, it's more important to trust the "experts" who are "qualified" than to look at results

Melissa Chen on X - "I scanned the signs and flags at the London "pro-Palestine" protests that took place AFTER the peace agreement was reached. Not a single placard denouncing Hamas who are now killing Gazans. The whole thing is a ruse. There are two kinds of people here:
a) people who wish Israel to be wiped off the map and Marxists who pine for the downfall of Western civilization
b) people who have turned "free free Palestine" into their whole personality. These are folks who like being activists because it gives meaning to their lives and will go on to the Next Thing™ soon
I'd see things differently if they celebrated the ceasefire, showed gratitude to Trump and all the other peacemakers involved, or denounced Hamas for executing Gazans as we speak."

Basil the Great on X - "🚨LABOUR SAY THEY PLAYED A KEY PART IN GAZA PEACE PLAN - TREVOR PHILLIPS DESTROYS HER
"We played a big part behind the scenes"
"What part did you play?"
"We recognised a Palestinian State"
"The Americans have said that made the deal MORE DIFFICULT"
Labour are liars."

Meme - Ibrahim Zabad @lbra...: "Given that it is Israel that is the occupying power and the country that is launching a genocidal war against the brutalized, starved, incarcerated Palestinians, it makes sense that Isreal should let them move into Israel. You can realistically expect Egypt to contribute to your genocidal war and ethnic cleansing campaigns. Why doesn't Isreal just take them?"
Daniel Rubenstein: "You think it makes sense for Palestinians to move into the country that you say is carrying out a genocide of Palestinians? You're being deeply unserious. Please choose a coherent argument and get back to me."
The cope is that Egypt letting them in would allow Israel to ethnically cleanse the place. This confirms that terrorism supporters, like Hamas, want Palestinian people to die to make Israel look bad Also, weirdly, terrorism supporters don't object to Palestinian people moving even further from Palestine, to Western countries

Roshan M Salih on X - "The Palestinians must reject this surrender deal."
leekern on X - "1. Yes, it’s a surrender deal. That’s what happens when you start a war with another country and lose. That’s what happened with Hitler and the Nazis and that’s what’s happening with Sinwar and the Palestinians
2. You’ve clearly been lying for two years when you say there has been a genocide. You communicate it hasn’t been genocide but a war - a war you want them to keep fighting
3. You’re a psychopath who wants people to die whilst you tweet for likes from whatever rat hole you live in"

Officer Lew on X - "The Left cheered more for the Assassination of an innocent man, than a ceasefire for what they've "protested" for the last 2 years."
In fact, they're upset over the Gaza ceasefire, because it means they need to find a new schtick. Of course, Charlie Kirk was a substitute for "Zionists" for a few weeks

Israel War Room on X - "BREAKING: Hamas senior official Mohammed Nazzal says Hamas intends to maintain security control in Gaza and won’t disarm — a blatant rejection of @POTUS’s Gaza plan. He also says Hamas wants a truce of “at least 3-5 years.” Hamas doesn’t want peace. It wants to end this war intact so it can rebuild for the next one."
Time to blame Israel again for not wanting peace
We're told that Resistance is a Right so Hamas disarming is bad and against Palestinian human rights

Shabana Mahmood: Some pro-Palestinian protesters don’t want peace in Middle East - "The Home Secretary said the decision by some activists to continue their protests after Donald Trump’s peace deal called into question their desire to end the Gaza war. During a statement on the terror attack on Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester, she said: “Protests have continued, both before the peace agreement and after the peace agreement in the Middle East. “I think we can conclude that not all of those protesting truly wish to see peace in the Middle East – but that is for them to answer to what their motivations really are... She confirmed that the Government was considering new powers to ban demonstrations outright and criticised “un-British” pro-Palestine protests that went ahead two days after the Manchester attack, despite appeals by her and Sir Mark Rowley, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, for people to show respect to the Jewish community... She said that sections 12 and 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 would be changed to allow officers to consider the cumulative impact of frequent protests when deciding whether to enforce conditions such as a change of route or time of the events. Ms Mahmood described the attack by Jihad al-Shamie, 35, as “an evil act of anti-Semitic terrorism”. Greater Manchester Police has said it believed he “may have been influenced by extreme Islamist ideology”. She said: “The reality is, we now face a domestic terrorist threat in this country that is more complex, less predictable and harder to detect than ever before. That threat will never be defeated unless we address the hate that fuels it.”... “I would note for this House that the first people that Islamists often suppress, hurt and damage are their fellow Muslims as well. It is in everyone’s interests to fight Islamist extremism wherever it is found.”"

Terry Newman: A peace deal was signed. Why are protesters still out in the streets? - "On Oct. 10, a U.S.-brokered peace deal, backed by Egypt and Qatar, was signed by representatives of Israel and Hamas in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, though fragile ever since, came into effect. Despite this, protesters are still in the streets, and in Montreal, one well-organized group has made their goal quite clear — they state outright that this isn’t about a ceasefire, it’s about destroying Israel and “Nazi Zionists.” Upon visiting Dorchester Square in Montreal, for this past weekend’s Montreal for Palestine protest, it was obvious, excuse the metaphor, that the veil was clearly beginning to slip. Sunday’s afternoon protest was held in honour of Saleh al-Jafarawi , is referred in an Instagram post as “brave,” and someone who “shared the truth with a smile.” Montreal for Palestine’s chosen image for the event presents al-Jafarawi as wearing a press vest, with the words, “They Tried to Silence Him, But the Martyr Never Dies.” In actuality, al-Jafarawi was not a member of the press. He was a Gazan social media influencer who first broke on the scene in a self-recorded video where he celebrates the October 7 attacks while they are occurring. That’s not any kind of journalism I’m familiar with. But there’s more. Not only was the man who the protester group gathered in Montreal to celebrate not even a journalist, he was also a well-known propagandist. After the attacks, he created viral videos where he impersonated various figures including a journalist, a wounded patient, a fighter, and a doctor, to name a few. He was dubbed Mr. FAFO when days after his video celebrating October 7, he posted another video crying after Israel retaliated. Al-Jafarawi was reportedly killed on Oct. 12, during clashes in Gaza between Palestinian militants and Hamas. These protests held by Montreal for Palestine always begin with a series of catchy and emotional songs. In one, a woman belts out, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free…. Free. Free. Free.” In another, a man declares the Free Palestine movement is about “love,” “my loves,” and that “there isn’t a drop of antisemitic blood” in his body. But when the music ends, and the speakers take to the mics, the tone quickly shifts. The peace deal is still in effect, though fragile. And no one in the crowd would have learned the actual reason why, by listening to the speakers. One speaker told attendees in the square, “We see the ceasefire right now being broken and it’s really urgent, we need as much people as we can,” to support the people of Palestine. He did not, however, mention it was Hamas who violated the ceasefire. Hamas has been accused of “ blatantly violating the ceasefire agreement ” by firing rounds at Israeli troops, ultimately killing two IDF soldiers in Rafah. Israel retaliated Sunday night with airstrikes, killing 33 people, according to the Hamas-run healthy ministry. Attendees at the protest were then asked to stand on a set of elevated stairs in the square and take a printed picture of people the organizers claimed were “martyred” journalists, to hold in front of them for photos and video, which were later posted to Montreal for Palestine’s over 26,000 follower Instagram account, @mtl4pal. The speaker told attendees,”There are reparations that need to be paid … Ceasefire or not …You’re gonna pay the price.” Of course, none of the speakers noted that after the IDF began withdrawing from Gaza, Hamas carried out mass executions on a rival clan in the city to assert dominance. Still, the peace deal is still in effect, as a piece of paper, anyway. The protesters do not appear to like the press. One woman in the crowd approached me and asked, “Why are you recording us.” I told her I worked for National Post. She replied, “But with your phone? I answered, “Yes.” Her question immediately followed one of the group’s speakers telling the crowd that I was “sneaking around” “taking pictures and videos, and had attended the event because I was a “paid,” “Zionist mouthpiece.” Where did all the love go? Then the group’s intentions were made crystal clear. The speaker tells the crowd, “From the day one of the ceasefire… we announce that, we don’t trust Zionists. Those people have no promise. Those people are not saved. Those are the tumour of the world. Those are the cancer of the humanity. So, wherever there is a Zionist ideology, no stability. You will find the corruption … You will find everything bad.” “What do you expect from corrupted people? What do you expect from terrorists..? What do you expect from Nazi Zionists? Do you expect them to be fair? Do you expect them to be honest?,” he yelled. He continued, “Those people are journalists who are spreading anti-Islamophobia and anti-Palestinia.” As far as I could tell, I was the only journalist present, and as speaker yelled this, familiar members of the group starting circling me. It suddenly became clear why there were no other media present. He then tells the crowd that “It’s really ridiculous” that Zionists are saying Palestinians need to be protected from Hamas. The event ended with a call for Jihad. Hamas’ actions since the signing of the first part of the peace deal have proven, as expected, that the terrorist group was never interested in peace with Israel. Neither, it appears, is protest group, Montreal for Palestine, which has said this outright at their rallies, and posted to their Instagram, “We will not recognize i$r@₡1.” How U.S. President Donald Trump sees a straight line from allowing terrorist group Hamas to carry out mass executions in the region to the next phase of the peace plan which calls for Hamas’ demilitarization and loss of governance, is bewildering. A leopard doesn’t change his spots. Hamas will not go quietly. These groups in our cities will not stop. They’ve already told us. Maybe he doesn’t expect them to. But what’s next?"

Terry Glavin: In a war of 1,000 defeats, the one clear winner is Qatar - "So far there is only one clear winner in the war, whether it’s over or not. That winner is the House of Thani, the duplicitous and fabulously wealthy royal family that rules the Persian Gulf state of Qatar. Patron of the notorious Muslim Brotherhood, longtime luxury-villa host of the senior Hamas leadership and friend of the Trump family, the Qatari regime has donated billions of dollars to American universities and to Islamic charities in Canada in recent years. The event that caused Trump to turn the tide in the Gaza hostage crisis occurred on Sept. 9, when Netanyahu ordered an audacious Israeli Air Force strike on the Hamas leadership in Doha. The airstrike missed its primary targets, killing only a half-dozen minor officials, but for Netanyahu that wasn’t even close to the worst of it. Trump was furious, saying he’d been blindsided, and he forced Netanyahu to offer a humiliating apology to the Qataris. Trump then quickly moved to offer a hostage-release bargain to Hamas that Netanyahu had no choice but to accept. The ceasefire and hostage release arrangement was first developed by the French and the Saudis in July and later adopted by the UN General Assembly. Trump and Netanyahu had initially opposed it. After Sept. 9, everything changed."

Democratic Socialists of America denounces Israel-Gaza cease-fire deal, demands 'Palestinian liberation' : r/NewsWorthPayingFor - "The DSA declaration titled “Until Palestinian Liberation” came days after Israel and Hamas agreed to halt fighting and begin exchanging hostages and prisoners under a US- and Arab-brokered deal."
"So, by 'Ceasefire NOW!' we actually meant 'resistance by any means necessary'." These guys aren't anti-war; they're just cheering for the other side."
"The DSA was pro-Hamas the day after October 7th, they have never hidden their views. Reddit gaslights everyone into thinking there are very few Hamas supporters. I’m 35 now and I’ve noticed how progressives are masters of doing stuff like that. On the trans issue, they swore up and down that trans women in women’s sports was just right wing fear mongering and they just wanted to be left alone. These aren’t people with values, they only have identity groups they support and they bend their values however it is needed. Like how they used to do the whole 9 Nazis and 1 person sitting at a table until they started holding hands with each Islamists and anti semites. Suddenly that value no longer applied. The whole movement is built off of hypocrisy and naked tribalism, it is no wonder the world is shifting right now"
"No, they meant they wanted the Jews to lay down their arms to be executed by Hamas."

Meme - Israel: "I want peace with you"
Palestine: "I want peace without you Palestine:"
Israel: "not even negotiation?"
Palestine: "never"
Israel: "you aren't really in a position to-"
Palestine: "no peace, fight to the death"
Israel: "fine, have it your way"
Palestine: "no ceasefire now!"
Israel: "Ok, but you have to ceasefire too."
Palestine: "no"
Israel: "..."

Ceasefire is ‘oppressor’s term’, say pro-Palestinian protesters - "Several groups said the peace agreement brokered by President Trump last week was “not enough” and had done “little to change their demands”. The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) has encouraged students to walk out of classes on Thursday, boycott Barclays on Saturday and has planned a march on November 2. University societies described the agreement as a “so-called peace deal” and encouraged students to demand the sanctioning and boycott of “the Zionist state of Israel”... An Oxford University student who allegedly chanted about “putting Zios in the ground” has been arrested and suspended by the university. Samuel Williams, who studies philosophy, politics and economics at Balliol, was caught on video leading the crowd with slogans relating to Israel’s military offensive in Gaza on Saturday, days after the first phase of the ceasefire was accepted by both sides."
Terrorism supporters were demanding a ceasefire for months, so they were on the side of the "oppressors". Revealing that they're against peace.

MAZE on X - "Here's CNN's John King and Dana Bash just a few months ago on Trump's efforts to end the Israeli/Hamas conflict.
King: Trump only cares about building hotels in Gaza.
Dana Bash: People actually believed Trump would end the war. Trump doesn't understand the conflict.
Hey guys, when should we expect the apologies?"

HonestReporting on X - ".@BBCNews writes: “The body of another hostage… along with the remains of another person who was not a hostage.” What they don’t say: Hamas DELIBERATELY returns the wrong bodies to torment families – a grotesque act of psychological warfare. They did it with Shiri Bibas too."

Meme - Michael Elgort: "These two posts have 13 hours between them and were written by the same person. The difference is the upper was written after the ceasefire was approved, the lower was before. What do you notice?"
Alon Mizrahi: "Hamas has made a catastrophic mistake. A minute from victory, they threw it all away. Palestine now 'depends on Israeli whim alone. This is Oslo 2.0"
Alon Mizrahi: "A holocaust is being commited by Israel and the US establishments and all in the West continue as usual. This is the age of deranged indifference"
Terrorism supporters reveal that they really think they will win by shaming Israel into letting Palestinians murder everyone in Israel while not fighting back
