Links - 27th December 2025 (2 - Hamas Attack Oct 2023)

Meme - Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby: "BREAKING: Islamists at the University of Toronto are demanding the Nova Exhibition-showing the horrors of the October music festival massacre-be shut down. They want it censored because it shows the brutal reality of the attack they've spent 19 months glorifying."
"TRAUMA AS PROPAGANDA: MANUFACTURING CONSENT FOR ISRAEL'S GENoCiDE"
This is rich, given terrorism supporters manufacture consent for their anti-Semitism all the time. Of course, lying to support the Palestinians is good, but telling the truth to support Israelis is bad

Schools in Palestine defy Labour calls on ‘anti-Semitic’ textbooks - "A report has found a significant amount of material allegedly promoting terrorism and anti-Semitism in textbooks for the 2025-2026 school curriculum of the Palestinian Authority (PA).  It found that books used in the West Bank and Gaza for the new school year include harmful material, despite international pressure and commitments from the PA to reform the curriculum.  The report by the international research group Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) found numerous examples of what it said was violent anti-Israel and anti-Semitic material in textbooks.  These include a Grade-7 teacher guide describing Israelis “bashing children’s heads in front of their mothers” and mutilating women for jewellery, while instructing students to visually recreate the event with drawings. A Grade-8 Arabic Language textbook for 14-year-old Palestinian children is alleged to feature a text that glorifies suicide bombers wearing “explosive belts” and praises Palestinians’ daggers slashing Israelis’ throats. At the same time, a Grade-12 textbook is alleged to include a poem that urges students to “return” to Israeli cities “with a weapon in your hand”.  One science textbook includes an illustration showing a slingshot, regularly used in the Palestinian intifada against Israel, to illustrate Newtonian physics.  IMPACT-se points out that foreign aid for education in the Palestinian Authority is used not only to fund teachers and schools, but also education sector civil servants responsible for drafting, approving, and delivering a harmful curriculum. The UK previously ended direct funding for PA education in October 2021, due to the presence of materials “not acceptable to the House or to the Government”. The London and Tel Aviv-based IMPACT-se says its analysis of the new academic year’s textbooks suggests that the PA has ignored calls from the UK Government to reform the curriculum.  This had been one of the primary reforms requested by the UK and other international partners as part of its recent recognition of a Palestinian state."
Why are "Zionists" so bloodthirsty?

Britons willing to end friendships over opinions on Gaza, poll finds - "Research by the think tank More in Common UK found 43 per cent of Palestine supporters would end a friendship with someone who supported Israel.  Some 46 per cent of those who supported Israel said they would do the same if a friend showed support for Palestine. The study also found that 44 per cent of people felt the UK was unsafe for Jewish people, while 37 per cent said it was unsafe for Muslims. Researchers said the findings also suggested the public’s “patience for disruptive protest is wearing thin” because of the conflict."

Hen Mazzig on X - "BREAKING: An Israeli tourist in Athens who was arrested after he was attacked with flagpoles by a group of assailants was taken to court over "war crimes." This despite the fact that he was discharged from the IDF 8 years ago due to injuries. Protesters came to the courtroom and verbally attacked and jeered the Israelis, making sexual remarks. They tried to prevent the defense attorney from representing them, bringing her to tears with their abuse. Police did nothing to stop the attacks.  An Israeli attacked abroad was dragged to jail and in front of a judge to answer for war crimes he was considered guilty of by virtue of his nationality alone.   Make it make sense."

SPECIAL REPORT: The peace campaigner who came to kill - "Eight months before Machmud arrived at Batia Holin’s home to kill her, the two had jointly launched an exhibition aimed at promoting peace and unity between Israelis and Palestinians.  After connecting through a Facebook group for residents on the Israel-Gaza border, the pair spent months sharing pictures on WhatsApp of daily life from both sides of the fence. This seemingly heartfelt exchange blossomed into a poignant exhibition entitled Between Us, dedicated to bridging the divide. Due to the dire risks involved, they never spoke directly. ‘Normalisation’ (interacting with Jews) is the most serious crime a Gazan can commit.  “We didn’t discuss politics,” Batia tells me as we walk along the Gaza barrier fence on the outskirts of Kibbutz Kfar Aza, where Machmud – who told her he was a 28-year-old photographer from the Gazan town of Shuja’iyya – was one of 300 Hamas terrorists who breached the border on the morning of October 7 and entered her kibbutz. The 71-year-old, who has lived on the kibbutz for more than 50 years, has dedicated her life to coexistence. The idea of collaborating with a Palestinian across the border, someone who experienced the same sights and sounds yet lived a vastly different reality, deeply resonated with her sense of purpose.  “Machmud and I wanted to show the world that, despite the circumstances in which we live, we share the same hope for a brighter future. That despite the obstacles, most people on both sides of the fence just want to live in peace.” Their exhibition opened in Israel on 4 February 2023 in nearby Kibbutz Nahal Oz (where 14 people were killed and seven abducted), with plans for it to tour the United States. One of its most striking exhibits was photographs of the Mediterranean Sea, showing the same beach border from opposite perspectives: one looking north, the other south... Today, in the wake of such unimaginable brutality, Batia’s dreams seem heartbreakingly naïve. Her faith has been so profoundly shattered that she fears there may not be a single adult in Gaza who shares her vision of peace. “The hardest feeling is the sense of total betrayal,” she tells me.   “The sense that everyone in Gaza was involved, even those who claim to oppose Hamas. I realise how awful that sounds. It truly is awful. But I cannot think anything else today. The past 17 years since Hamas took over Gaza have been difficult and it’s got worse over time. Before the attack, people called life here 90 percent heaven, 10 percent hell. Now it just feels like hell.”  Batia heard Machmud’s voice for the very first time at 10am on October 7 when she received a phone call from an Israeli number she did not recognise. He told her he was inside the kibbutz and asked if Israeli soldiers were nearby.  “I was so confused,” recalls Batia with a shudder. “At first, I thought Machmud must have heard about the attack and was calling out of concern. It didn’t take long to realise he had a different reason. He wanted to cause me harm. I didn’t speak to him. I just hung up...   On 3 February 2024, exactly one year after Batia and Machmud’s exhibition, Batia, who is staying with family in Kibbutz Shefayim near Tel Aviv with fellow survivors from Kfar Aza, opened a second photography exhibition called The Dream And Its Break. It is in four parts, entitled The blackened present, Shattered dream, Garden of remembrance and Hope, let it be. “It tells the story of how my 50-year dream of peace was broken in a single day,” Batia says, her voice heavy with sorrow."

Yossi BenYakar on X - "https://t.co/YeKL4ZIwUh FLASHBACK: The panic at BBC and CNN is real. One of their primary "sources" in Gaza—Islamic Jihad spokesperson Tariq Salami—was captured and interrogated by Israel. He didn't just confess to terror operations; he exposed the exact playbook they use to manipulate Western media:
The Rules of the Game:
- When their own rockets misfire and hit a hospital? Blame Israel immediately.
- When they turn schools into ammo depots? Frame Israel for "War Crimes" when they respond.
- When they massacre civilians? Call it "Resistance."
He specifically confirmed that the Al-Ma’madani hospital blast was an Islamic Jihad rocket. He knew it. The media knew the narrative was false. Yet they coordinated to pin it on Israel anyway. This is not journalism. This is a joint operation between terror groups and the newsrooms that protect them."

Yossi BenYakar on X - "The October 7th terror attack on Israel didn't just happen in Israel. It emboldened every Islamist who was hiding in plain sight. In the UK, they are now openly calling for Jewish blood and hunting for Jews in the streets. And the police? They appear to be afraid to intervene.   How long can a country survive when its police are more afraid of the mob than they are committed to protecting its Jewish citizens?"

McGill faculty votes to boycott Israeli cultural and academic institutions : r/canada - "'Roberts has been at the centre of the discussion of academic freedom since he posted, “Nothing short of ‘full economic and military support for Hamas and Hezbollah’ is appropriate” on X.'
Holycrap these people are extremists."
"Hilariously followed by saying his comments "were meant as a critique of Israel’s invasion of Gaza and not support for either group.""
"This is/was one of Canadas leading academic institutions. Pretty crazy."
We're still told that no one supports terrorism, when so many people explicitly do

Israel won its war, but the West’s is only just beginning - "Who won the war? We’d have to say Israel, but it was a close-run thing. While the IDF concentrated on the traditional military objective of killing the enemy, the strategy of Hamas focussed on propaganda. The respective results tell their own story.  While Hamas has been roundly defeated on the ground, much of the West now agrees with them: jihadism may have its drawbacks, but the real menace is Israel.  If Western powers are the real losers of this conflict, our social defeat is only beginning. After the Second World War, the political scientist Leo Strauss argued that the victorious United States had absorbed the moral relativism of its enemy.  “It would not be the first time that a nation, defeated on the battlefield and, as it were, annihilated as a political being, has deprived its conquerors of the most sublime fruit of victory by imposing on them the yoke of its own thought,” he wrote. What on Earth would Strauss have made of the Israeli triumph, which left the West enthralled by the agenda of jihadism? All over Britain, cosplayers celebrated the second anniversary of October 7, defying pleas from our eunuch Prime Minister to respect the dead of Manchester.  Two weeks earlier, that same eunuch Prime Minister received congratulations from the jihadis after recognising a Palestinian state without calling upon them to surrender. And they had assumed that their only “friend” was Jeremy Corbyn! The celebrities who spent two years demanding “Ceasefire Now” fell conspicuously silent when Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu secured a ceasefire now. Clearly, they had been hankering only after the kind of ceasefire that followed an Israeli defeat. Or to put it another way, a victory for Hamas.  Was any of this a surprise? The information warfare has been intense. In the heat of battle, the United Nations turned itself into a disinformation machine, endorsing lies of “genocide” and “famine”. Meanwhile, our media erased Hamas, exposing audiences only to pictures of suffering Palestinian civilians. Did nobody wonder how the dead and wounded jihadis had vanished? Any conflict with one side removed makes tragic collateral death feel like “genocide”. A study by Fifty Global Research Group showed that 98 per cent of mainstream English-language news reports cited Hamas numbers, of which just two per cent were acknowledged as unreliable. By contrast, Israeli figures were cited in only five per cent of reports, and half of those questioned their credibility. No wonder support for the only democracy in the Middle East was left at rock bottom.  Driven by complacency, naïveté and self-regard, the West has driven itself mad. As the dust settles, international isolation may be Israel’s challenge, but that country is resilient. We, on the other hand, have been left with a social rot accelerating our collapse from within.  The excuse of “Gaza” may pass, but after decades of reckless immigration, political sectarianism is here to stay. The hard-Left mobs and Muslim Brotherhood fanatics have won control of our streets, vowing to maintain their aggression regardless of the ceasefire. The Palestine flag now competes with the Union Jack. We don’t know who we are any more.  Donald Trump’s genius has left Israel in a position of great strength. Its society is resilient, its economy booming, its demographics young and growing, its enemies castrated. In the West, meanwhile, we are in great jeopardy on all those counts. Israel’s war may be over, but for us, it is only beginning."

John Spencer on X - "Did Israel win the war in Gaza? Yes, and. 🧵 From a war studies perspective, war is an act of force to compel your enemy to do your will. It is the pursuit of political objectives.   Israel's war goals after the October 7th Hamas invasion/attack was 1) return all hostages 2) destroy Hamas military capabilities and political rule in Gaza 3) ensure no threat to the State of Israel comes from Gaza again.  The 20 point plan, now a UNSC resolution and mandate framework, returns all hostages, approves the continuation of Israel's work to disarm Hamas, eliminates Hamas political rule in Gaza, and creates international ownership of stability inside Gaza.   Yes, how it is implemented will determine ultimate victory of keeping Hamas out of power in Gaza, but once the 3 remaining hostages have been returned, objectively, Israel achieved its goals in the war.  Yes, there are years of work to be done to demilitarize, deradicalize, rebuild every facet of Gaza...but now there is an international mandate for many nations to assist Israel to do that work.The initial phase of the Trump 20-point peace plan was signed by representatives of the United States, Israel, Hamas, Egypt, Qatar, andTurkey on October 9, 2025.   A subsequent "Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity" was signed by the leaders of the United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey on October 13, 2025 - https://whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/10/the-trump-declaration-for-enduring-peace-and-prosperity/  The broader 20-point plan that outlines a transitional authority (a "Board of Peace") to govern Gaza and an international stabilization force (composed of troops from Muslim-majority nations) to oversee security and the demilitarization of Hamas. This larger framework gained an international mandate through a U.S.-sponsored UN Security Council resolution on November 17, 2025.  As a reminder, the 20 point peace plan states:
1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.
9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the "Board of Peace," which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of state to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform programme, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump's peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.
13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarisation of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration programme all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbours.
15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilisation Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.
17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF."

Kosher🎗 on X - "Posting again, please 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚 because there is still a lot of people lying about the War in Gaza, they also have no clue what they are talking about. The ICJ did NOT find that there was a Genocide in Gaza, not even a “PLAUSIBLE” one as people keep trying to twist and use.  Don’t believe me? Hear it from the President of the ICJ"
"The court test for deciding whether to impose measures uses the idea of plausibility, but the test is the plausibility of the rights that are asserted by the applicant, in this case South Africa, so the court decided that the Palestinians had a plausible right to be protected from genocide, and that South Africa had the right to present that claim in the court. It then looked at the facts as well, but it did not decide, and this is something where I’m correcting what’s often said in the media, it didn’t decide that the claim of genocide was plausible. It did emphasize in the order that there was a risk of irreparable harm to the Palestinian right to be protected from genocide. But the shorthand that often appears, which is that there’s a plausible case of genocide, isn’t what the court decided."
Terrorism supporters keep on lying as usual

Caitlin Johnstone on X - "They were killed by Israel in an Israeli air strike. That’s why to this day Israel refuses to release the evidence supporting its claim that Hamas killed them."

Mo Ghaoui on X - "Grift #9562626: The “100% profits to Gaza” = "100% I told you so"  🔴Swedish Investigation shows, that no money was sent to Gaza, despite millions earned in profit ..  Mohamed Kiswani's exucse was: "it has been very difficult to get emergency aid into Gaza due to the Israeli blockade"  ** It seems it is only difficult when accountability is requested, but when people are asked to donate, it is fine, in fact people were encouraged with a promise of 100% profits from this company going ot gaza.  Financial statements, when released should show as I suspect, high dividents, operational costs and very low portion left to be sent, ofcourse, after the very very very urgent funds are needed by 2 years gap??  This, will be buried too, like other donation scams Because real victims are voiceless, perpetrators are beyond accountability, and their grifted followers will deny being scammed, because it says a lot about their level of critical thinking."

Time to ban Fox News and the Daily Mail for spreading lies

‘We Occasionally Misjudge’: Pulitzer Board Told Me I Was Out of Line When I Asked Why the Organization Gave an Award to Palestinian ‘Poet’ Who Made Hateful Comments About Israeli Hostages - "After the five- or seven-member juries select the three finalists, they are kicked up to the Pulitzer board to select a winner. The 19-member board, composed of establishment journalists and a few academics, is overwhelmingly liberal—many members are nakedly partisan Democrats—and the prizes, which reflect their worldview, long ago became an object of derision among conservatives, and as irrelevant to the average American as the standings in Major League Soccer.  But even by that standard, this year’s award for Commentary managed to generate some attention.  The prize went to the Palestinian "poet" Mosab Abu Toha for his essays in the New Yorker. The board praised Toha for documenting the "physical and emotional carnage in Gaza" in a way that combined "deep reporting with the intimacy of memoir to convey the Palestinian experience of more than a year and a half of war with Israel." Abu Toha is currently a "visiting scholar" at Syracuse and was previously a "visiting poet" and "librarian in residence" at Harvard.  It took about a half second for Abu Toha’s public remarks objecting to the media’s "humanization" of Israelis abducted by Hamas to emerge... magine for a moment a Pulitzer going to an extremist Israeli settler poet who had minimized and mocked the suffering of civilians in Gaza; who put "Palestinian" or "innocent civilian" in quotation marks the way Abu Toha does "hostages." You can’t, because it would never happen.  Last week, Damari denounced the Pulitzer Board for giving Abu Toha the prize, calling out the Pulitzers for elevating "a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered."... The nominating jury that made him a finalist included Zeba Khan, the founder of Muslims for Obama; Jon Allsop, who has raised the prospect that the Israeli military is deliberately targeting journalists and cheered the "consequences" the Biden administration imposed on the Jewish state; and Julia Preston, who resigned from her job at the liberal Marshall Project because the organization doesn’t allow staff to engage in partisan political activity, citing her belief that Trump is "an existential threat to our democracy."... I received an email from Miller, subject line "Confidentiality," alleging that my emails violated the confidentiality agreement I signed when I became a Pulitzer juror and that, while jurors are selected "for their character, expertise and integrity … Unfortunately, we occasionally misjudge." Miller is right about that. She and her colleagues have misjudged, starting with the minor issue of what the confidentiality agreement actually says. As part of providing my services to the Pulitzers, I agreed not to discuss deliberations over the National Reporting category, nor to reveal the finalists before the winner was announced. I did not agree to refrain from reporting on a separate category in which I had no role.  The Pulitzer board’s position that any reporter who participates on one of its many juries is prohibited from doing any reporting about the organization itself—even when one of its awards has become an international news story—is preposterous. Here we have an institution, ostensibly committed to supporting "fearless" journalism, trying to strangle reporting about what was known to the jury and when—and which board members cast votes on this award...   In media interviews, meanwhile, Abu Toha has continued to shed light on the board’s most profound misjudgment of honoring an apologist for terrorism, lying on MSNBC "

i/o on X - "Sam Harris on pro-Hamas demonstrators in the US: “Our streets have been filled with people literally tripping over themselves in their eagerness to demonstrate that they cannot distinguish between those who intentionally kill babies and those who inadvertently kill them... If you’re waving the flag of people who murder non-combatants intentionally, killing parents in front of their children and children in front of their parents, burning people alive at a music festival devoted to peace, and decapitating others and dragging their dismembered bodies through the streets — all to shouts of ‘God is Great’... If you have landed, proudly and sanctimoniously on the wrong side of this asymmetry, this vast gulf between savagery and civilization, while marching through the quad of an Ivy League university... I’m not sure it matters that your moral confusion is due to the fact that you just happen to hate Jews — whether you’re an antisemite or just an apologist for atrocity is probably immaterial. The crucial point is that you are dangerously confused about the moral norms and political sympathies that make life in this world worth living.""

Dr Rahmeh Aladwan rants at ‘Jewish lobby’ after being suspended - "An NHS doctor who was suspended for anti-Semitic comments responded by attacking “the Israeli and Jewish lobby” in a rambling social media post.  On Wednesday, Dr Rahmeh Aladwan was banned from practising medicine for 15 months by a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service panel.  The panel had heard that the British-Palestinian NHS doctor and trainee surgeon had made a series of “anti-Semitic and pro-terrorism” comments on social media, and concluded that a lengthy suspension was necessary, in part to reduce the risk to the public... The hearing was also told that she had described the Royal Free Hospital in London as a “Jewish supremacy cesspit” and expressed support for Hamas and Palestine Action... In September, Dr Aladwan escaped suspension at a fitness to practise tribunal, despite the hearing being told that she had made “slit your throat” gestures to Jewish protesters, and claimed that the Holocaust was “a fabricated victim narrative”."
Clearly, she meant "Zionist", not "Jewish"

Pro-Palestine activists descend on Tesco in row over suspended worker - "Tesco has been targeted by pro-Palestine activists for suspending a worker who refused to handle Israeli products.  The anti-Israel BDS movement – which stands for boycott, divestment and sanctions – has called for the retailer to “withdraw disciplinary action” against a member of staff at its supermarket in County Down, Northern Ireland.  The group claimed Tesco had suspended the worker “for refusing to handle blood-soaked Israeli goods”, adding that the person now “faces disciplinary action for having a conscience and not supporting genocide”... Left-wing activists from campaign group People Before Profit said it was standing in “full solidarity [with] Tesco workers and all those facing victimisation at work for refusing to handle Israeli goods”... In July, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign organised 20 events in towns and cities over the course of a weekend, including outside Sainsbury’s stores.  At the time, the group said it wanted to raise awareness over the amount of Israeli food being sold in supermarkets, saying that grocers must stop “profiting from Israel’s colonisation and military occupation of Palestinian land”... Some supermarkets have already bowed to pressure to pull Israeli produce from shelves.  In June, Co-op announced it would stop stocking Israeli-sourced products, citing “internationally recognised community-wide human rights abuses and violations of international law”."
Weird. Left wingers used to say if you couldn't do your job, you should be fired

The Liberal Misinformation Bubble About Youth Gender Medicine

Clearly, whatever supports the left wing agenda cannot have been politicised: 

The Liberal Misinformation Bubble About Youth Gender Medicine - The Atlantic
How the left ended up disbelieving the science 

"Allow children to transition, or they will kill themselves. For more than a decade, this has been the strongest argument in favor of youth gender medicine—a scenario so awful that it stifled any doubts or questions about puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones...

But there is a huge problem with this emotive formulation: It isn’t true. When Justice Samuel Alito challenged the ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio on such claims during oral arguments, Strangio made a startling admission. He conceded that there is no evidence to support the idea that medical transition reduces adolescent suicide rates.

At first, Strangio dodged the question, saying that research shows that blockers and hormones reduce “depression, anxiety, and suicidality”—that is, suicidal thoughts. (Even that is debatable, according to reviews of the research literature.) But when Alito referenced a systematic review conducted for the Cass report in England, Strangio conceded the point. “There is no evidence in some—in the studies that this treatment reduces completed suicide”...

Here was the trans-rights movement’s greatest legal brain, speaking in front of the nation’s highest court. And what he was saying was that the strongest argument for a hotly debated treatment was, in fact, not supported by the evidence.

Even then, his admission did not register with the liberal justices. When the court voted 6–3 to uphold the Tennessee law, Sonia Sotomayor claimed in her dissent that “access to care can be a question of life or death.” If she meant any kind of therapeutic support, that might be defensible. But claiming that this is true of medical transition specifically—the type of care being debated in the Skrmetti case—is not supported by the current research.

Advocates of the open-science movement often talk about “zombie facts”—popular sound bites that persist in public debate, even when they have been repeatedly discredited. Many common political claims made in defense of puberty blockers and hormones for gender-dysphoric minors meet this definition. These zombie facts have been flatly contradicted not just by conservatives but also by prominent advocates and practitioners of the treatment—at least when they’re speaking candidly. Many liberals are unaware of this, however, because they are stuck in media bubbles in which well-meaning commentators make confident assertions for youth gender medicine—claims from which its elite advocates have long since retreated.

Perhaps the existence of this bubble shouldn’t be surprising. Many of the most fervent advocates of youth transition are also on record disparaging the idea that it should be debated at all. Strangio—who works for the country’s best-known free-speech organization—once tweeted that he would like to scuttle Abigail Shrier’s book Irreversible Damage, a skeptical treatment of youth gender medicine. Strangio declared, “Stopping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on.” Marci Bowers, the former head of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the most prominent organization for gender-medicine providers, has likened skepticism of child gender medicine to Holocaust denial. “There are not two sides to this issue,” she once said, according to a recent episode of The Protocol, a New York Times podcast.

Boasting about your unwillingness to listen to your opponents probably plays well in some crowds. But it left Strangio badly exposed in front of the Supreme Court, where it became clear that the conservative justices had read the most convincing critiques of hormones and blockers—and had some questions as a result.

Trans-rights activists like to accuse skeptics of youth gender medicine—and publications that dare to report their views—of fomenting a “moral panic.” But the movement has spent the past decade telling gender-nonconforming children that anyone who tries to restrict access to puberty blockers and hormones is, effectively, trying to kill them. This was false, as Strangio’s answer tacitly conceded. It was also irresponsible.

After England restricted the use of puberty blockers in 2020, the government asked an expert psychologist, Louis Appleby, to investigate whether the suicide rate for patients at the country’s youth gender clinic rose dramatically as a result. It did not: In fact, he did not find any increase in suicides at all, despite the lurid claims made online. “The way that this issue has been discussed on social media has been insensitive, distressing and dangerous, and goes against guidance on safe reporting of suicide,” Appleby reported. “One risk is that young people and their families will be terrified by predictions of suicide as inevitable without puberty blockers.”

When red-state bans are discussed, you will also hear liberals say that conservative fears about the medical-transition pathway are overwrought—because all children get extensive, personalized assessments before being prescribed blockers or hormones. This, too, is untrue. Although the official standards of care recommend thorough assessment over several months, many American clinics say they will prescribe blockers on a first visit.

This isn’t just a matter of U.S. health providers skimping on talk therapy to keep costs down; some practitioners view long evaluations as unnecessary and even patronizing. “I don’t send someone to a therapist when I’m going to start them on insulin,” Olson-Kennedy told The Atlantic in 2018. Her published research shows that she has referred girls as young as 13 for double mastectomies. And what if these children later regret their decision? “Adolescents actually have the capacity to make a reasoned logical decision,” she once told an industry seminar, adding: “If you want breasts at a later point in your life, you can go and get them.”

Perhaps the greatest piece of misinformation believed by liberals, however, is that the American standards of care in this area are strongly evidence-based. In fact, at this point, the fairest thing to say about the evidence surrounding medical transition for adolescents—the so-called Dutch protocol, as opposed to talk therapy and other support—is that it is weak and inconclusive. (A further complication is that American child gender medicine has deviated significantly from this original protocol, in terms of length of assessments and the number and demographics of minors being treated.) Yes, as activists are keen to point out, most major American medical associations support the Dutch protocol. But consensus is not the same as evidence. And that consensus is politically influenced.

Rachel Levine, President Joe Biden’s assistant secretary for health and human services, successfully lobbied to have age minimums removed for most surgeries from the standards of care drawn up by WPATH. That was a deeply political decision—Levine, according to emails from her office reviewed by the Times, believed that listing any specific limits under age 18 would give opponents of youth transition hard targets to exploit.

More recently, another court case over banning blockers and hormones, this time in Alabama, has revealed that WPATH members themselves had doubts about their own guidelines.

In 2022, Alabama passed a law criminalizing the prescription of hormones and blockers to patients under 19. After the Biden administration sued to block the law, the state’s Republican attorney general subpoenaed documents showing that WPATH has known for some time that the evidence base for adolescent transition is thin. “All of us are painfully aware that there are many gaps in research to back up our recommendations,” Eli Coleman, the psychologist who chaired the team revising the standards of care, wrote to his colleagues in 2023. Yet the organization did not make this clear in public. Laura Edwards-Leeper—who helped bring the Dutch protocol to the U.S. but has since criticized in a Washington Post op-ed the unquestioningly gender-affirmative model—has said that the specter of red-state bans made her and her op-ed co-author reluctant to break ranks.

The Alabama litigation also confirmed that WPATH had commissioned systematic reviews of the evidence for the Dutch protocol. However, close to publication, the Johns Hopkins University researcher involved was told that her findings needed to be “scrutinized and reviewed to ensure that publication does not negatively affect the provision of transgender health care.” This is not how evidence-based medicine is supposed to work. You don’t start with a treatment and then ensure that only studies that support that treatment are published. In a legal filing in the Alabama case, Coleman insisted “it is not true” that the WPATH guidelines “turned on any ideological or political considerations” and that the group’s dispute with the Johns Hopkins researcher concerned only the timing of publication. Yet the Times has reported that at least one manuscript she sought to publish “never saw the light of day.”

The Alabama disclosures are not the only example of this reluctance to acknowledge contrary evidence. Last year, Olson-Kennedy said that she had not published her own broad study on mental-health outcomes for youth with gender dysphoria, because she worried about its results being “weaponized.” That raised suspicions that she had found only sketchy evidence to support the treatments that she has been prescribing—and publicly advocating for—over many years. 

Last month, her study finally appeared as a preprint, a form of scientific publication where the evidence has not yet been peer-reviewed or finalized. Its participants “demonstrated no significant changes in reported anxious/depressed, withdrawn/depressed, somatic complaints, social problems, thought problems, attention problems, aggressive behavior, internalizing problems or externalizing problems” in the two years after starting puberty blockers...

The reliance on elite consensus over evidence helps make sense of WPATH’s flatly hostile response to the Cass report in England, which commissioned systematic reviews and recommended extreme caution over the use of blockers and hormones. The review was a direct challenge to WPATH’s ability to position itself as the final arbiter of these treatments—something that became more obvious when the conservative justices referenced the British document in their questions and opinions in Skrmetti. One of WPATH’s main charges against Hilary Cass, the senior pediatrician who led the review, was that she was not a gender specialist—in other words, that she was not part of the charmed circle who already agreed that these treatments were beneficial.

Because of WPATH’s hostility, many on the American left now believe that the Cass review has been discredited. “Upon first reading, especially to a person with limited knowledge of the history of transgender health care, much of the report might seem reasonable,” Lydia Polgreen wrote in the Times last August. However, after “poring over the document” and “interviewing experts in gender-affirming care,” Polgreen realized that the Cass review was “fundamentally a subjective, political document.” 

Advocates of youth gender medicine have reacted furiously to articles in the Times and elsewhere that take Cass’s conclusions seriously. Indeed, some people inside the information bubble appear to believe that if respectable publications would stop writing about this story, all the doubts and questions—and Republican attempts to capitalize on them electorally—would simply disappear. Whenever the Times has published a less-than-cheerleading article about youth transition, supporters of gender medicine have accused the newspaper of manufacturing a debate that otherwise would not exist. After the Skrmetti decision, Strangio was still describing media coverage of the issue as “insidious,” adding: “The New York Times, especially, has been fixated on casting the medical care as being of an insufficient quality.”

Can this misinformation bubble ever be burst? On the left, support for youth transition has been rolled together with other issues—such as police reform and climate activism—as a kind of super-saver combo deal of correct opinions. The 33-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani has made funding gender transition, including for minors, part of his pitch to be New York’s mayor. But complicated issues deserve to be treated individually...

Acknowledging the evidence does not mean that you also have to support banning these treatments—or reject the idea that some people will be happier if they transition. Cass believes that some youngsters may indeed benefit from the medical pathway. “Whilst some young people may feel an urgency to transition, young adults looking back at their younger selves would often advise slowing down,” her report concludes. “For some, the best outcome will be transition, whereas others may resolve their distress in other ways.”

I have always argued against straightforward bans on medical transition for adolescents...

However, the revelations from Skrmetti and the Alabama case have made me more sympathetic to commentators such as Leor Sapir, of the conservative Manhattan Institute, who supports the bans because American medicine cannot be trusted to police itself. “Are these bans the perfect solution? Probably not,” he told me in 2023. “But at the end of the day, if it’s between banning gender-affirming care and leaving it unregulated, I think we can minimize the amount of harm by banning it.” Once you know that WPATH wanted to publish a review only if it came to the group’s preferred conclusion, Sapir’s case becomes more compelling.

Despite the concerted efforts to suppress the evidence, however, the picture on youth gender medicine has become clearer over the past decade. It’s no humiliation to update our beliefs as a result: I regularly used to write that medical transition was “lifesaving,” before I saw how limited the evidence on suicide was. And it took another court case, brought by the British detransitioner Keira Bell, for me to realize fully that puberty blockers were not what they were sold as—a “safe and reversible” treatment that gave patients “time to think”—but instead a one-way ticket to full transition, with physical changes that cannot be undone.

Some advocates for the Dutch protocol, as it’s applied in the United States, have staked their entire career and reputation on its safety and effectiveness. They have strong incentives not to concede the weakness of the evidence. In 2023, the advocacy group GLAAD drove a truck around the offices of The New York Times to declare that the “science is settled.” Doctors such as Olson-Kennedy and activists such as Strangio are unlikely to revise their opinions...

I am not a fan of the American way of settling political disputes, by kicking them over to an escalating series of judges. But in the case of youth gender medicine, the legal system has provided clarity and disclosure that might otherwise not exist. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s oral questioning in Skrmetti and the discovery process in Alabama, we now have a clearer picture of how youth gender medicine has really been operating in the United States, and an uncomfortable insight into how advocacy groups and medical associations have tamped down their own concerns about its evidence base. Those of us who have been urging caution now know that many of our ostensible opponents had the same concerns. They just smothered them, for political reasons."

Migrant responsible for killing 269 people in deadly bombings wins appeal after being refused asylum - "A Sri Lankan national who faced arrest in connection with the devastating 2019 Easter bombings has succeeded in his appeal against the Home Office's rejection of his asylum claim. The man, identified solely as 'YA', secured victory at the immigration Upper Tribunal in Birmingham after challenging the initial decision. The Islamic State-claimed attacks in Sri Lanka resulted in 269 deaths, with British nationals among the victims."
Mad Dogs & Englishmen.NMA. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 on X - "So a guy who was questioned by Sri Lankan police over the worst Islamist massacre in their history (269 dead, churches blown up on Easter Sunday) simply gets on a plane while on bail, flies to Britain, claims “the police are persecuting me,” and a British judge says “yep, sounds legit, here’s your indefinite leave to remain.” This isn’t asylum. This is state-sanctioned suicide. We’re not a serious country anymore. We’re a giant battered-women’s shelter with an open border and a judiciary that thinks “human rights” means importing people who were suspects in mass murder because feelings. The 269 victims, including six British citizens, don’t get an appeal. They’re dead. But the bloke the police wanted to talk to about the bombs? He gets a new life in Birmingham on the taxpayer, forever. If you’re not furious, you’re not paying attention."

Matt Goodwin on X - "What you are witnessing in the UK --the daily rapes, the assaults, the loss of control--is not simply about mass immigration. Be clear about the cause. It is the logical end point of suicidal empathy. Today's ruling class believe that true virtue lies not in protecting our own people and children but sacrificing them on the altar of showing empathy to outsiders. If you do not want to live like this then you need to replace the ruling class. There is only one party, one vessel, that you can use to do just that. It is currently number one in the polls. And it terrifies the ruling class which is why they are now constantly attacking it and its leader. Do not lose focus. Register to vote. And Vote Reform."

BRITAIN IS BROKEN 🇬🇧 on X - "🚨 Never forget when labour told you that illegal immigrants have MORE RIGHTS than British citizens 🇬🇧 Labour MP Bridget Phillipson is asked if she agrees that the rights of illegal migrants are more important than the rights of the people of Epping. "Yes, of course we do""

It’s mad to give migrants leave to remain when we’ve no idea if they contribute - "Since 1997, Britain has been engaged in a vast demographic experiment. We have become a country not just of mass migration, but mega migration. In the 25 years before Tony Blair’s election, 68,000 more people came into the country than left it. In the 25 years after it, the figure was almost six million. But it will take just ten more years for migration to swell the population by a further 4.9 million. By the end of that period, in 2032, more than one in five people here will have been born abroad. Nobody predicted this. Nobody planned for it. Almost nobody wanted it. But it’s happened, and it’s too late to stop it. Or is it?... immigration on the present scale is immensely difficult to absorb, particularly since it is concentrated in certain places — especially London. It’s made our hellish housing crisis even worse. And there have been all manner of well-attested — and, in the case of the grooming gangs, frankly horrific — failures of integration. The main defence for mass migration has been that we need it to keep the economy and public services afloat. And that’s certainly true in part. For example, thanks to our extraordinary failure to train enough medics, only half of junior doctors in England are UK nationals. But the complacent assumption — baked into years of Treasury modelling — that migration is an unalloyed economic good has come under severe challenge. On Thursday night Andrew Bailey was asked — at the annual dinner of TheCityUK — whether increased migration was boosting the Bank of England’s (abject) growth forecasts. He paused: “Well …” In elliptical central-banker-ese, the governor explained that there is a puzzle. We have more workers. But the economy isn’t expanding. Indeed the Bank’s latest report shows that output per hour fell by 2.4 per cent in a year. So either the migrants aren’t enough to offset the sickness/laziness of existing employees. Or we’ve got the wrong kind of migrants. Of course, as the Bank acknowledges, the appalling state of our labour and population data makes the picture hugely hazy. Hazy enough to have started a grudge match between our CPS team and Prof Jonathan Portes, Britain’s most prominent advocate of mass migration, over exactly how much all these migrants are earning. But it is clear beyond doubt that very many are not earning enough — or not earning at all. Let’s go over the statistics. Astonishingly, just 12 per cent of visas issued between 2021 and 2023 were for skilled workers. Within that, 60 per cent — 254,347 — were for the health and care sub-route (slightly more than the 6,000 people a year the health department originally predicted). The overwhelming majority of these workers went into social care, and into low-paid jobs. The official Migration Advisory Committee puts the average salary on the route — even including any doctors, nurses, midwives, etc — at just £24,000. For the other 40 per cent of skilled workers, it was £45,000 — a cavernous difference. Those care workers were also allowed to bring dependants — in fact more dependants have come than actual workers. Sometimes the discrepancies are extraordinary. My colleague Karl Williams points out that in the first six months of 2024 we gave out 1,063 health & care visas to workers from Zimbabwe, and 10,670 visas to dependants of those workers and/or their predecessors. Some of these dependants, or those arriving via the family visa route, may themselves work, but there are shocking variations. More than half of women in the UK born in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh have never had a job here. Then there are students who come to do one-year master’s courses but spend most of their time as Deliveroo drivers — or even claim asylum. In short, there are hundreds of thousands of new migrants — though there is ferocious argument over the precise proportion — who will cost the country more than they contribute. This cost will, of course, be spread over very many years. And it is the subject of huge uncertainty. It may be that migrants’ wages increase after arrival, as Prof Portes argues. But conversely, the survey data from the ONS tends to undercount low-paid migrants, and OBR’s fiscal profiles cut off at the age of 82, excluding the cost to the NHS of extreme old age. That said, it is true that too many of those born here are not contributing enough, either. But why use migration to make the problem worse?"

Jonatan Pallesen on X - "New report: mass immigration to the UK has caused an increase in rents of £132 per month in England and £216 per month in London.

The Boriswave alone caused a (further) increase in rents of 3.7%"

Migrant jailed for 10 years over rape of 15-year-old girl - "A migrant who was granted asylum in the UK after several attempts to deport him has been jailed for more than 10 years over the rape of a 15-year-old girl. Anicet Mayela, 41, carried out the attack in December last year when inebriated and caused the teenage girl to become pregnant... He pleaded guilty to a single count of rape at the same court in April this year, but continues to profess his innocence and previously made an attempt to vacate his original plea, which was rejected by a judge in September... The judge said: “For her, it was her first sexual experience, and the misery that you caused to that child who became pregnant as a result must have been extreme... It is understood the Home Office initially refused Mayela’s asylum claim in 2004 but he successfully challenged the decision in the courts and was eventually granted leave to remain on appeal in 2010. According to an article published by the Institute of Race Relations (IRR), an “anti-racist think-tank”, in 2005, Mayela was served three removal notices and left with a broken hand during one deportation attempt. Another flight is said to have been grounded after the airline’s cabin crew refused to carry him... By 2005 he was being held in immigration detention centres while attempts were made to deport him but he was later released. Mayela, thought to be a former economics student, also appears to have supported protests outside the Campsfield House detention centre, where asylum seekers were being held in custody prior to deportation from Britain, following the death by hanging at the centre of a Turkish man in June 2005."

British Intel on X - "🚨🇬🇧 WATCH: THE REALITY OF BRITAIN IN 2025
Do not look away. This is the story they tried to soften, distort and bury. A 15-year-old British girl was raped in a Leamington park by two Afghan illegal migrants. The legacy media lied about who the attackers were. They even lied about the victim’s age to downplay the horror. She is now terrified to leave her home - another child whose life has been destroyed by a border policy that protects everyone except the British people. While our politicians preach “compassion”, British families are paying the price. While the media scolds concern as “bigotry”, children are being harmed. This is not an isolated case. This is what happens when a nation loses control of its borders - and its courage to speak honestly"

Afghan asylum seeker charted his journey across Europe posing in TikTok videos clad in designer gear and a gold watch before arriving in the UK where he raped a 15-year-old schoolgirl - "An Afghan asylum seeker jailed for brutally raping a 15-year-old British schoolgirl in a park charted his journey across Europe on TikTok. Often clad in designer gear with expensive trainers, this is the image that Jan Jahanzeb, 17, projected to the world once he arrived in Europe from Afghanistan. But behind the slick façade and boyish good looks, lurked a sexual predator who has now been jailed for 10 years and 8 months for the brutal rape of a 15-year-old girl in a park in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. Jahanzeb acted with his friend, fellow Afghan asylum seeker Israr Niazal, also 17, who was jailed for nine years 10 months for luring their victim away from her friends into a wooded area where they forced themselves upon her. Much of the content of Jahanzeb’s social media story is staged around parks and public spaces in Belgium as he poses shamelessly in selfies, sometimes showing off the star tattoos on his neck. Soon after leaving Afghanistan, he appears to have got a tattoo of three stars on his neck, which is a sign he was carrying money and could come from a middle class background in Afghanistan... The judge Sylvia de Bertodano at his sentencing told Jahanzeb: ‘You left Afghanistan after you say threats were made to you and your family, and you spent about nine months travelling to the UK. ‘You travelled through many countries, often on foot and I am sure that your journey was both difficult and dangerous. I accept that this amounts to a traumatic set of experiences for a young person. I am told that is possible that you are suffering from PTSD. ‘ But in many of his posts, dressed in designer gear and sometimes sunglasses, Jahanzeb appears not to have a care in the world as he preens at the camera, often accompanied by a backing track of Dari music... Ironically, given his crime, in another TikTok video which he reposts, he appears to be staking his claim for women's rights in Afghanistan. A poster of a schoolgirl being silenced with a man's hand around her mouth is accompanied by an anti-Taliban sentiment: 'May God destroy the oppressors, the poor virgins of our country, Amen', accompanied by Afghan flag and crying emojis... 'When you discussed the offence you tried to minimise your responsibility, blaming your co-defendant for getting you involved, and the victim herself for pushing you and kissing you, as well as the fact that you were drunk. 'You say that you are inexperienced in sexual matters; your reluctance to talk about it makes the truth of this assertion difficult to assess, although I do of course understand that given your age your sexual experience is necessarily limited.' Now, following Jahanzeb’s conviction for rape, he faces deportation back to Afghanistan at the end of his long sentence."

Queen Bee on X - "2 months ago, a monster, a white monster, raped 2 Sikh women and every MP was falling over themselves to condemn this horrific behaviour. Quite right too. He should be caught and face a life sentence. However, in less than 24 hours its been reported that 3 young teenage girls have reportedly been raped by 3 Afghan men, in 2 separate attacks, one being a horrific gangrape, and not one single MP, that I have seen, that commented previously, has said a word. They cant keep telling the British people that their women and girls matter so little, their lives are superfluous to their immigration agenda, and keep expecting endless amounts of tolerance. People are seething with rage. If these men cant be removed, they have to be prevented from coming in."

Furious Scots parents pull kids out of school & protest over 'unvetted' migrants attending English lessons - "Safety fears were sparked after videos were posted on social platforms showing a large group of men hanging around the school campus between classes. School bosses have now axed the lessons as parents questioned why there wasn’t more communication around the service, said to be funded by a charity... The mum-of-four added: “My main concern is the presence of individuals I believe to be men who have not been adequately checked by the council. “We don’t know their past histories, and that concerns me because they are sharing a space with my child. “My concern is purely about the safety of my child inside a ‘secured entry’ school where she can’t easily get out if something were to happen.”... “This is a massive problem. It’s a gigantic loophole for unvetted people to access children. Because if you enter a campus on an educational basis, you do not require a PVG by law. “If you go in there to fit a lightbulb as a tradesman, you need a PVG. That is utterly scandalous. It’s reckless and it’s an absolute dereliction of duty.”"

Council backs motion to stand up to far right as ‘Pink Ladies’ march through Whitechapel - " Tower Hamlets Council backed a motion affirming its dedication to stand up to the far right as a group of women known as the “Pink Ladies” protested in Whitechapel on 8 October. The group said they were in the area to demand action on what they called “violence against women by undocumented migrants”. The council said that the Pink Ladies’ framing “mirrors far-right narratives” that aim to demonise undocumented migrants. A spokesperson for the council expressed worry that the usage of terms like “illegal migrant violence” is more in line with political radicalism than with sound public safety rhetoric. Counter-protester and pro-Palestine activist, Pheobe Bloom told Eastlondonlines: “It is unacceptable to me that anyone would try to say that immigrants cause the most violence against women and girls when we know that’s not the case, it’s a rhetoric which has been used to demonise immigrants and remove them from our society.” “I think there are probably some [protesters] who are quite far right and have racist and unacceptable beliefs and genuinely hate migrants and believe in the white replacement theory,” she added, referring to the debunked “great replacement” conspiracy theory that white people are intentionally being replaced by other ethnicities... The claim that illegal migrants commit domestic or sexual violence at a higher rates than citizens or documented residents, however, is not supported by any reliable public data."

The Home Office is facing outrage after revealing around 170 dangerous foreign nationals cannot be deported from the UK with more than half linked to terrorism or extremist activity"

It's reasonable to give British people greater priority for social housing - "There has been controversy on social media in recent months about the proportion of social housing which is occupied by people born overseas, and the number who are not UK nationals (two different things). Hopefully this post will give people easier access to the data and trends on on both... ets look at the proportion of social tenants where the head of the household (the “Household Reference Person” in census jargon) was born overseas, with data from Census 2021. I have mapped it at the level of the parliamentary constituency, but finer-grained data is available, down to the level of the neighbourhood. There is massive variation around the country: Less than 7% were born abroad in Wales, while it was 20% in England as a whole and just under half (47.6%) in Greater London. This last statistic, about Greater London, is the one that has triggered lots of debate online... If people are UK Citizens they have the same rights as other people - but from an economic point of view, people becoming British nationals doesn’t make much difference to the effect on the scarce supply of housing. In greater London the number of socially rented properties is very similar to 2001: it was 801,000 in 2001, fell to 781,000 by 2010, and recovered to 793,000 by 2022. Having 377,000 occupied by people born overseas (or 183,000 who arrived since 2001) still means those properties are not available for other people... Of course, we can build more council houses, but this is not cheap, particularly in expensive cities like London. Through the Affordable Housing Programme 2021-26 the government is investing £11.5 billion across the country to build about 180,000 affordable homes of various kinds. Across England and Wales as a whole, people born overseas were a bit more likely to be in social housing than people born in the UK: 18% compared to 17% in 2021. On the one hand, that rather undermines the argument of those who still think migration is ‘rocket fuel for growth’. If our long term policy had been selecting high wage migrants to make Britain the grammar school of the western world, then the share of migrants in social housing would be much lower than for those born in the UK. Instead, it is slightly higher. The cash benefits system sees similar trends: the proportion of non-EU nationals who have been in the UK for more than five years who are in receipt of benefits is higher than for UK nationals - 28% vs 25%. The truth is that a significant chunk of UK immigration is not for work, and that a large chunk of those who are coming for work are coming for low wage work, or to work in the grey economy, just as was the case decades ago. But the distinction between UK nationals and every other nationality lumped together conceals much more than it reveals. There is massive variation between people from different countries. Western Europe, Canada, New Zealand, the USA all see low proportions in social housing. In contrast people from countries like Afghanistan, Ghana, Jamaica and Somalia, the proportions are very high (36%, 37%, 41% and 72% respectively). There is big variation within regions: looking at South Asia, rates varied from 6% for people from India to 15% for people from Pakistan to 34% for people from Bangladesh. While the average for people from Africa was 32%, the range ran from 9% for South Africa, to eight times that for people from Somalia... Social housing by nationality... The share of new social lettings in England to lead tenants who are not British nationals climbed from a bit under 6%, to just under 10% in 2021/22... it was 17% across Greater London but as high as 40% in Brent, and above 20% in several London Boroughs. In places like Manchester it was over a fifth, and not far off a fifth in places like Sheffield and Birmingham. It was also high in smaller cities like Ipswich, Oxford and Leicester... Obviously the discussion about giving British nationals greater priority for social housing is part of a wider debate about the purpose of social housing. Since the 1977 Housing Act the allocation of social housing has been needs-based rather than contribution-based or desert-based. This is a big change. In the early and middle part of the twentieth century, social housing often charged higher-than-market rents, but offered high quality housing to replace slums, and the selection of tenants was made on the basis of who was reliable and deserving. It often came with a hefty side order of methodisty / fabian social reform. As a young man in post-war Castlemilk my father had to travel a long way to go to the pub, because Glasgow banned pubs on Corporation property between the 1890s and the 1960s. But social housing gradually came to be allocated on the basis of what people needed need not what they were seen to deserve or have earned - a process accelerated by the 1977 Act. This radically changed people’s incentives in the process. The Hills Report (p100-111) published under the last Labour government found that social tenants had employment rates lower even than equivalently disadvantaged people who were not in social housing. This may reflect the greater difficulty of moving for work for social tenants, or the incentives set up by social housing itself, both to enter the system and move within it. While employment rates have improved since 2010, households in social housing are still much more likely to be workless than private renters or those paying mortgages. In cities like London the net result is that large numbers of workless households are housed in expensive properties in the centre of the city, while many other people commute a long way and pay a lot to be there for work. This has inevitably led to a ongoing debate about whether there are better ways to help poor households and working people facing high costs... migration policy has been off track for a long time"
Left wingers don't think nationality should determine eligibility or priority for voting or benefits, because they don't think nationality makes sense in the first place

France bolsters Christmas market security over ‘very high’ terror threat - "rance will tighten security around Christmas markets after its interior minister warned of a “very high” terror threat.  In an urgent letter sent on Wednesday, Laurent Nuñez ordered state officials to treat festive gatherings as high-risk targets and mobilise intelligence agencies accordingly.  He cited how Christmas markets were targeted in last December’s deadly attack on the German city of Magdeburg and the 2018 shooting in Strasbourg, according to the letter seen by BFMTV, the French broadcaster.  Regional authorities across France have been told to step up crowd management measures, restrict vehicle access around major events and monitor all relevant video surveillance networks.  The instructions apply not only to police but to “all actors in the security sector”, including local mayors, private security, transport operators and volunteer groups.  Police and soldiers must also provide a “visible and deterrent presence” across crowded public spaces, the minister said.  The heightened security concerns follow Paris’s surprise decision to cancel its traditional New Year’s Eve concert on the Champs-Élysées because of security concerns."

Howard Anglin on X - ""The cancellation of New Year’s Eve on the Champs Élysées is confirmation that Paris is no longer is in control of its public space. ... France’s open-door policies have had consequences. The once grand avenue des Champs-Élysées will stay half-abandoned on the night that once defined it."  A state that cannot guarantee the safety of its public spaces is no longer fully sovereign, psychologically or actually."

Croatian Catholic nun stabbed by migrant who shouted Allahu akbar - "A Catholic nun was stabbed with a sharp object in Croatia’s capital by a man who allegedly shouted “Allahu akbar” during the attack. She survived and is receiving treatment at a Zagreb hospital.  The victim, identified as 34-year-old Sister Marija Tatjana Zrno, was attacked in the Malešnica neighborhood on Friday afternoon and later transported to the Sisters of Charity University Hospital"

Ursula von der Leyen on X - "When we launched Global Gateway for Africa, we aimed to invest €150 billion in the continent. 4 years on, we’re well on track to exceed that goal. With 120 billion of investments for Africa. And more coming. For good, local jobs ↓"
Eva Vlaardingerbroek on X - "Europeans have to work so Ursula von der Leyen can invest 120 billion Euro in Africa whilst simultaneously importing millions of unskilled military aged African men into Europe who come and live on our welfare system. This woman truly hates us."

Hungary is paying €1m a day to block illegal migrants. What a bargain - "When national tourist boards produce videos extolling their country’s attractions, they normally highlight the beaches or the nightlife. A new video promoting holidays in Hungary, however, boasts of something rather different.  The absence of illegal immigrants.  Hungary, this government-approved video proclaims, is “the safest place in Europe” – because “we refuse to let illegal migrants in”. Even more startlingly, it adds that, because of this refusal, the EU forces Hungary to “pay a fine of €1m to Brussels every day”. That’s equivalent to around £875,000. Yet the people behind the video don’t seem to be complaining. In fact, they clearly think it’s a bargain. In the words of Viktor Orban, Hungary’s prime minister: “We’ll pay it. For our safety, and yours. Better than living in fear.” Unsurprisingly, the video’s message has not gone down well with Left-wing Eurocrats. Daniel Freund, a Green MEP from Germany, snorted: “I don’t think anyone has ever understood the Christmas story less than Viktor Orban.” After all, he said, “Christmas is literally about people from the Middle East seeking shelter.”  Well, yes – but the shelter they were seeking was still in the Middle East. Joseph, Mary and the donkey did not pay a criminal gang to squeeze them aboard a rubber dinghy, so that they could illegally enter a country in another continent. And, when they arrived in Bethlehem, they did not sexually assault any 14-year-old girls, or stab a member of the stable’s staff to death with a screwdriver. Herr Freund’s analysis, therefore, is not entirely watertight. Or have I misunderstood his meaning? Is he perhaps suggesting that European countries should take in every military-age man who tries to breach their borders, on the off-chance that one of these men turns out to be the son of God?  Such a prospect, I fear, is somewhat remote. Of the countless “people from the Middle East” who have come “seeking shelter” in our own country since the small boats crisis began, few, to my knowledge, have done much to spread the word of God. Or at least, not the Christian one. So in Britain, if not in Brussels, quite a few people may rather admire Hungary’s stance – and feel that, in the same position, they too would happily contribute to a fine of €1m a day. To put that fine in context: it’s less than a sixth of the sum Britain spends every day on migrant hotels.  Imagine if every country in the EU decided to pay a daily fine, rather than accept illegal immigrants. For one thing, it would make Brussels an awful lot richer.  It’s a wonder the Eurocrats are complaining at all."

Skilled Migrants Aren't Interested in Germany - "Germany faces a fundamental migration dilemma. Refugees from poor and war-torn countries flock to it as a haven while skilled professionals from outside of the European Union—workers the German economy sorely needs—tend to shun it...  “Germany is child-friendly!” according to Make It in Germany, a portal funded by Germany’s ministry for migration and refugees, the purpose of which is to attract foreign nationals to Germany...   It should be clear, however, that this offer isn’t meant for the often impoverished, usually undereducated refugees fleeing countries like Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq. These nationalities constituted most of the nearly 250,000 asylum applicants last year. That’s almost 28 percent more than 2021 (though just a third of those filed during the migration crisis year of 2016.) The newspaper Bild reflects the ire of many ordinary Germans: “They are often without proper education, without a job. But they have the right to welfare support, housing, clothing.” In 2022, every third day saw an attack on the accommodations of refugees.   Indeed, Germany is a prime destination for people fleeing war and destitution: 1.3 million people entered Germany last year—among them 1.1 million people from Ukraine, 140,000 of which have since returned to Ukraine. (In contrast to people living in countries with repressive governments, Ukrainians cannot apply for asylum but can receive temporary protection status.)  Yet, in a dark irony, Germany, a country with a declining native population and anemic labor market, badly needs qualified workers—in some cases, qualified with just a basic knowledge of the German language—to fill around 778,000 vacancies...   In a U-turn from a decade ago or so, Germany has realized that it needs prodigious labor reinforcement from abroad to plug the gaps and has sent out word that they are welcome. And, in fact, there has been a positive response—mostly though from professionals within the EU. Romanians, Poles, Spaniards, Italians, and Bulgarians above all flock to Germany, which the EU’s freedom of movement principle makes relatively easy for a fellow EU citizen.  But since all of the EU 27 members are currently experiencing more deaths than births—Germany’s fertility rate of 1.58 children per woman as of 2021 may be a hair above the EU average of 1.53 that same year, but it is still far from the 2.1 birth rate necessary for a population to grow—the entire continent is waking up to the fact that their economies will require ever more foreign workers as populations age and the downward demographic curve steepens. In Spain and Poland, people are having even fewer babies than Germans. This means that in the near future, Germany will not be so free to draw from the European pot as it does now...   In contrast to EU labor migrants, the number of qualified workers from non-EU countries is paltry, even if it has been ticking up. In 2021, it tallied just around 40,000 people—led by professionals from India and followed by the United States, Turkey, and China. German Finance Minister Christian Lindner recently experienced an embarrassing moment in Accra, the capital of Ghana, in Western Africa, when not a single college student in a full auditorium raised a hand when he asked who would consider working in Germany. “Oh, wow! Okay,” Lindner responded...   German wages may be much higher than in the global south, but compared to many European and North American countries, they’re low—and taxes are high, schools are overcrowded, and the urban housing market is very tight. Linda Teuteberg, a foreign affairs expert for the liberal Free Democratic Party, said Germany’s “top ranking in taxes and other levies discourages people from coming to our country. The skilled workers our country requires … who are highly qualified and speak English go where there is more left over after taxes.”"
Weird. We're told that the European quality of life is superior. Skilled migrants must be stupid.

Study finds Dutch avoid living near Moroccan and Turkish neighbors - "A recent Dutch study revealed that a significant portion of citizens deliberately avoid neighborhoods with high concentrations of residents of migrant origin, with Moroccan and Turkish communities singled out most frequently... many participants without migrant roots were willing to travel an additional ten minutes daily for shopping if it meant avoiding areas where a quarter of residents come from immigrant backgrounds, particularly Moroccan or Turkish."

Migrant schoolboys 'gang rape teacher and hold her as sex slave' - "A teacher was allegedly raped and abused by a gang of migrant youths who blackmailed her into letting them use her apartment for parties and forced her to pay for food, taxi rides, and tobacco. In a case heard at the Vienna Regional Court, in Austria, the female teacher's sickening ordeal lasted from July 2024 until January this year.   It's reported that the main male defendants, a 15-year-old Iraqi, a 17-year-old Romanian, and a 15-year-old Afghan, have all pleaded not guilty to the central charges, which include rape and sexual coercion. It's alleged that the horrifying ordeal for the woman came to an end when the two 15-year-olds broke into her home when she was away and stole jewellery and watches before setting fire to the home. Austrian media reports the youths have admitted to burglary but deny intentionally starting a blaze. According to the public prosecutor's office, the teacher had formed a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old former student in April 2024. It was said the youth was "sexually self-determined" and that the woman was no longer teaching the teenager, so prosecutors said "so there was no longer any authority relationship". According to Austrian news site Orf, the following month the 16-year-old brought friends, including the defendants, to the woman's apartment. The court heard the 15-year-old Iraqi "terrorised' the teacher upon learning about her relationship with the 16-year-old and threatened to post photos of her meeting the group outside her school... the defendants were alleged to have continued to harass the woman and in November filmed a sexual assault which took place on her terrace. After the video was filmed the woman feared it would be shared and was forced to make her home free for the youths to use for parties, as well as pay for taxis, food and cigarettes."

Migrant who raped boy at Austrian pool has sentence cut - "The migrant who raped a young boy in a swimming pool because he 'had not had sex for four months' has had his sentence reduced and will soon be free.  The Senate of the Supreme Court of Austria has ruled that the sentence of 20-year-old Iraqi asylum seeker, known only as Amir A, will be reduced from seven to four years after he raped a ten-year-old boy who suffered horrific injuries as a result... Amir A's lawyers had sought a retrial after successfully arguing that the original trial had not done enough to discover if he knew for certain that his victim was saying no.  The appeal had shocked legal experts because as a 10-year-old minor, the victim could never have given his consent to sex. Now judges at Austria's Supreme Court have found the asylum seeker guilty for a second time - and jailed him for seven years.  The rapist had been taken to the Austrian capital's Theresienbad pool in December last year as part of his integration programme.  But he dragged his victim into a changing room where he locked the door and subjected him to a sickening sexual assault.  The court heard that the schoolboy needed urgent medical treatment for agonising injuries sustained in the attack... He first confessed to the rape, saying he knew it was wrong but did it anyway because it was a 'sexual emergency' because he had not had sex for four months.  His lawyers later changed his story claiming there were doubts over whether he knew the victim had denied consent.  He was found guilty of serious sexual assault and rape of a minor.  The boy, named only as Goran, was awarded 5,000 Euros (£4,190) for his pain and suffering."

42% of Young Muslims Support Extremism, 57% Favor Sharia: Europe Must Confront the Failures of Integration and Immigration - "French Institute of Public Opinion made a recent survey highlights troubling stats: 42% of young Muslims in France (15-25 years old) endorse extremist views, while 57% support establishing Sharia law over national law. With a Muslim population of around 6 million in France, these figures are very scary: integration has failed, multiculturalism has failed.  Europe's face is changing as ethnicity is determining voting across bureaucratic elections and political outcomes. Political Islam is gaining strength in areas where the state has retreated and the left continues to endorse: guilt, appeasement, tolerance. These conditions are ripe for radicalization.  With the growth of political Islam, Europe is still divided, fragmented and unwilling to react to the problem. As examples of civilizations falling in silence seem just before, we have self-censored and keep clear of looking islamophobic, racist or a bigot, to stifle reasonable debate about the entrenched growth of political Islam. While political Islam is growing it is not growing by violent means but through demographic change, cultural change, and the growing strength of a voting bloc with ballots."

Majority of young French Muslims put sharia above national laws - "It is thought to be a steep rise from three decades ago, when just 36 per cent of French Muslims aged 18 to 24 felt that sharia should take precedence.  François Kraus, the historian who wrote the study, suggested the findings pointed to “a process of re-Islamisation” driven by younger generations.  He said: “This survey very clearly outlines the profile of a Muslim population increasingly structured around rigourist religious norms and tempted by an Islamist political project.” “Fundamentalism has won over the minds of more than one in three Muslims,” said Mr Kraus. Some 38 per cent of those surveyed approved of all or part of “Islamist” positions in 2025, double the proportion who expressed such views in 1998... “There is a need for radicalism which is expressed through a much stronger religious rigour... which is not limited to faith, but translates into a desire to govern society, or at least the behaviour of Muslims in France, according to Islamic precepts.  “It also translates into a very violent gender separatism. You have 45 per cent of young Muslims who refuse to ‘faire la bise’,” Mr Kraus said, referring to the customary French cheek-kiss greeting.   Sharia has provisions that are incompatible with French law, including unequal inheritance for women, corporal punishment for crimes, and strict limits on freedom of expression and sexuality.  The report also revealed a dramatic increase in Mosque attendance, which rose from 7 per cent in 1989 to 40 per cent today. Meanwhile, strict fasting during Ramadan jumped from 51 to 83 per cent and the proportion of young women wearing the veil has nearly tripled.  Social habits have also changed: alcohol consumption among Muslims under 25 has fallen from nearly 30 per cent in 2011 to just 12 per cent today. Only 12 per cent of young Muslims now want Islam to adapt to modernity, down from 41 per cent in 1998.  France has Europe’s largest Muslim cohort, making up around 7 per cent of the French population up from less than 1 per cent 40 years ago. The revelations follow a confidential report presented to Emmanuel Macron, the French president, in May.  It warned that Islamist networks, particularly linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, were practising “entryism”, infiltrating schools, associations, and local institutions in order to “change them from within”.  In July, Mr Macron announced he would be imposing “restrictive measures” to better combat Islamism, via financial sanctions and increased surveillance of organisations... Chems-Eddine Mohamed Hafiz, the rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris, suggested that the figures reflected anger among young French Muslims, 66 per cent of whom feel they have been victims of racism, according to an earlier poll.  “As an imam, I talk to a lot of young people. They tell me that they are constantly stigmatised,” he told Charlie Hebdo magazine."
Weird. Lee Kuan Yew was excoriated for saying Muslims need to be less strict and integrate more

White woman gropes black disabled boy in German anti-harassment campaign - "A German council has been criticised for a sexual harassment poster that depicts a white woman groping a black boy with a prosthetic leg.  The poster was put up in an outdoor swimming pool in the western town of Büren with the caption: “Stop! Grabbing is forbidden.”  At the foot of the poster, a turtle wearing goggles and rubber armbands informs the reader: “If something doesn’t feel right, you have the right to call for help by calling out my name: Tiki!”  The campaign comes after a furore in Germany over a recent incident where a group of Syrian men were arrested for groping girls at a swimming pool in the nearby region of Hessen.  But critics said the poster was a baffling attempt to make a politically correct statement about sexual harassment, by making the perpetrator a white woman and giving the victim a physical disability.  Official German statistics show that men are responsible for the overwhelming majority of sexual assaults in outdoor swimming pools. In 2024, 237 out of 367 recorded incidents were also committed by foreigners.  Rainer Wendt, the head of the German police union, warned the poster would likely embolden the far-Right Alternative for Germany [AfD] party, which is a vocal campaigner against “woke” values.  “This campaign has only one winner, the AfD. But there are many losers: women and girls. Their dire situation is being ridiculed,” he told the German tabloid Bild.   Manfred Pentz, the European affairs minister for the state of Hessen, said: “After the incidents we’ve recently experienced here, this must be a bad joke, which makes a mockery of those who have been affected. If it doesn’t fit into their world view, it isn’t allowed. Simply unbelievable.”... “Germany has a problem with Third World migrant men groping German women.  “So the German government has put up a PSA warning about white women groping vulnerable immigrant men who also have prosthetic legs for some reason.”"

Nine underage girls get sexually assaulted by Syrian migrants at swimming pool in Germany - "In a shocking scandal rocking Germany Gelnhausen, nine underage girls were sexually assaulted at the Barbarossabad swimming pool in the town of Gelnhausen, with the perpetrators identified as four Syrian men.  The heinous acts, reported on June 29th, have ignited fury across Germany, but CDU Mayor Christian Litzinger’s response has poured fuel on the fire.  In a jaw-dropping statement to Welt and Hessischer Rundfunk, Litzinger attributed the assaults to “hot weather” causing “frayed tempers,” dismissing the gravity of the crimes and sparking widespread condemnation. The assaults, described as a “nightmare” by lokalo.de, saw the victims, all minors, subjected to horrific abuse while pool staff allegedly ignored their cries for help, presumably out of fear of being accused of “racism”.  Instead of decisive action, the pool management reportedly sent the girls back into the water, a move slammed as “unfathomable” by incredulous social media users. Public outrage has surged, with posts on X decrying Litzinger’s comments as victim-blaming and culturally insensitive, many simply attributing the horrendous incident to unchecked immigration and citing countless other similar atrocities.  Police are now investigating, urging other victims to come forward, while city patrols have been increased. Yet, the question burns: who pays for this failure? For many, Litzinger’s words are not just tone-deaf—they’re an insult to justice itself."

Sweden child migrant tests 'reveal many adults' - "A Swedish investigation into migrants claiming asylum as children suggests that three-quarters of those tested were over the age of 18.  Sweden's national forensic medicine agency checked the age of nearly 8,000 people and found that some 6,600 were 18 or over.  The checks were only carried out in cases where there were doubts as to the person's age.  Child migrants are less likely to be sent back to their country of origin.  Between mid-March and late October, the agency (Rättsmedicinalverket) carried out a total of 7,858 age assessments."

Russian spies working with smugglers ‘to flood Europe with migrants’ - "Russian spies and hard-left humanitarian groups are working with people smugglers to flood Europe with illegal migrants, a Bulgarian minister says. Daniel Mitov, the interior minister, said his government had evidence that Russia’s foreign intelligence service had direct links with the criminal gangs facilitating illegal immigration into the European Union. He said Russian spies were helping people smugglers find weaknesses in the EU’s external borders, including Bulgaria’s border with Turkey, and were telling migrants how to exploit EU and UK asylum systems and avoid removal... The Bulgarian government also said that some non-governmental organisations (NGOs) were collaborating with smugglers “under ideological pretexts”. Mitov said British teenagers had been helping “neo-Marxist groups”. “Illegal migration inflows are an instrument for hostile regimes to destabilise the European Union and the United Kingdom,” he said. “They are aiming to destabilise the welfare systems. Plus, of course … through smuggling radicalised individuals, they create security issues for us.”... Mitov said Bulgaria had become concerned about the activities of some NGOs. He said: “They are neo-Marxist groups which are trying to justify their actions through philosophical or ideological constructs. Basically, let’s get all the poor people from the world and let them establish themselves here, the absolute freedom of movement, the non-existence of borders and so on and so forth... Two of the groups accused are No Name Kitchen, which operates across the Balkans, Mediterranean and Sahel migration routes to “defend freedom of movement”, and Mission Wings, a Bulgaria-based charity that primarily protects children. "

Swedish murder: Five teenagers found guilty over taxi driver's killing - "Four teenaged brothers and a 15-year-old girl have been sentenced by a Swedish court over the murder of a man she had accused of rape.  The victim, a taxi driver, was found hanged in a nature reserve in central Sweden in March.  The court in Uppsala found that because of the earlier allegations involving the girl he had been lured there with the promise of sexual favours.  He was then overpowered and his body was not found for another week."

Iraqi man arrested for pushing German girl (16) in front of train : r/europe_sub - "A 31-year-old man has been arrested in Germany for the death of a sixteen-year-old girl who was hit by a freight train. The man of Iraqi nationality is suspected of pushing the girl in front of the train.  The man has been admitted to a clinic. He had previously been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.  The incident took place August 11 at Friedland station in central Germany. The police initially said it was an accident.  But the Public Prosecution Service (OM) reported on Friday evening that the suspect's DNA was found on the victim's shoulder. The suspect and the victim did not know each other. "The amount of DNA involved is such that we rule out that this was caused by a light touch. The DNA must have been there by a firmer, more forceful touch," Bild quotes.  The Public Prosecution Service also says it has new information showing that the police had received a report shortly before the incident. A man is said to have caused unrest at the station. When officers arrived on scene, the suspect led officers to the girl's body. He was then interrogated, but released the same day due to insufficient evidence.  Asylum request was rejected at the end of 2022 An asylum request from the Iraqi was rejected at the end of 2022. The man could have been deported to Lithuania since March this year, writes Der Spiegel.  The Iraqi was reportedly arrested in July for not paying a fine. That same month, a request from the German immigration authorities to detain him pending his deportation was rejected by the judge, partly because the risk of flight had not been sufficiently substantiated.  German Interior Minister Daniela Behrens wants to investigate why the man was not deported to Lithuania. According to her, the case shows the problems surrounding European asylum agreements. "It is impossible to explain to citizens that people live in Germany for years, while a completely different EU country is responsible for them," the Social Democrat told broadcaster NDR."
Europe needs to let in even more asylum seekers so they can get the treatment they need

Naked African refugee terrorizes small German town again and again - "A naked refugee from Africa is continuously causing chaos in the small German town of Neuffen in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The man routinely strips naked and rampages through the town, with authorities “unable” to stop him for two years.  The town, like many German towns, is known as a tranquil place close to the city of Stuttgart. However, the town of 6,000 is no longer as tranquil as it used to be. The African refugee arrived from Africa two years ago, has a variety of mental issues, and easily loses his temper, according to Bild newspaper. Among his victims are children and the elderly...   Ahmad H. told the paper he saw the African man attack an elderly victim.  “The naked man pushed the man to the ground and hit him. I then armed myself with a street traffic sign and ran over,” said Ahmad...   The African man has struck fear in residents for his past actions, including targeting the elderly and children.  Dirk F., who is a neighbor of the man, said: “He’s also been standing naked in front of my door. He harasses and threatens other people, and the police are called repeatedly.”... other police sources have indicated the man is from the African nation of Togo. The man has reportedly been taken to a psychiatric hospital since the latest incident, but there are worries he could be quickly released again.  In fact, a police source from Neuffen said they expect the man to be released soon, which means the man could soon be back on the streets of the quaint town. "
