Norman Finkelstein claims that "Hezbollah represents hope"
Weird. I thought no one supports Hamas. Of course, terrorism supporters never disappoint

Finland cuts all funding for UNRWA

Four stabbed at Amsterdam Centraal – attack livestreamed on TikTok - "the Dutch outlet VKMAG and others have identified the perpetrator as Angelo Bryson.    Bryson is a personal trainer and known as the personality Superhuman Unchained.  According to Hungarian Conservative (HC), he describes himself as an influencer, entrepreneur and motivator with the slogan “discipline over motivation”.  HC writes that his profile also increasingly focused on Islam, Palestine and North African politics.  The Dutch website GeenStijl reports that Bryson recently converted to Islam and regularly participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations.   Copenhagen Radio writes that he is an immigrant who recently converted to Islam, and that he has modelled his streaming career on the “genocide grifters” Sneako and Hasan Piker."
Damn Mossad false flag!

@freedomtoffend.com on X - "Are Jews simply fair game at the University of Guelph, Sheridan College and Humber Polytechnic?  I taught for roughly 15 years with an exemplary record, no disciplinary history, and no history of Muslim students accusing me of discrimination or mistreatment.  Then came one disputed screenshot of a LinkedIn exchange. The original exchange no longer exists.  I was suspended and ultimately fired.  Now compare my accuser, Prof. Wael Ramadan.  Ramadan has operated an enormous public political platform—thousands of posts and roughly 85,000 followers. I have preserved material he posted or reposted containing explicitly anti-Jewish rhetoric, including a video/comic describing Jews as “subhuman” and material featuring a Hamas figure calling Jews “devil worshippers.”  A Rate My Professors review accused him of antisemitism and warned Jewish students to examine his social-media record. Three human-rights complaints concerning him were filed and dismissed. Yet I can find no evidence that Sheridan ever disciplined him over this material.  And Ramadan was not some unrelated professor.  He was one of my accusers.  So maybe somebody should start asking the people who actually made the decisions.  Ask Melanie Spence-Ariemma how she managed to occupy overlapping roles in the process—as complainant, institutional accuser and senior decision-maker.  Ask Bill Rosehart, then Provost of the University of Guelph and now President of the University of Waterloo, why he participated in terminating a professor he had never spoken to—not once.  Ask why the institutions relied on a report they commissioned while allowing anonymous hearsay.  Ask why the disciplinary hearing was cancelled.  Ask why the people ending a 15-year teaching career apparently did not think it necessary to speak directly with the professor whose career they were ending.  Ask why the appeals process did not provide anything resembling a meaningful hearing.  And above all, ask this:  Why was a professor with a tiny LinkedIn following, no disciplinary history and no comparable record of hostility toward Muslim students destroyed over one disputed screenshot, while his accuser—with thousands of political posts and an enormous following—continued teaching without apparent discipline?  What neutral principle explains that?  Universities can issue all the statements about antisemitism they like. Judge institutions by what they do, what they punish—and what they tolerate."

Hen Mazzig on X - ""We don't want no Zionists here"  Democratic Congressional candidate Brad Lander, who is Jewish, is cursed at and thrown out of a protest in NYC.   Lander went along with extreme rhetoric against Israel and AIPAC during the primary to win votes, something he admitted made him "queasy" because it played into antisemitism.   Maybe the fact that he's being harassed anyway is a sign that next time, he should just stick to campaigning on his actual views."
CulexInTexas on X - "By "Zionist" they mean Jew. All Jews. Brad lander is a Jew. He can't be "anti-Zionist" enough for them ever because they want him and all Jews dead."
Mariama James 詹 瑪 麗 on X - "Not one person said stop, what are you doing, that’s Brad Lander. He’s been standing with us. He helped us to oust Goldman. Mamdani & Sanders endorsed him, nothing. As some of us have been trying to tell yall the past couple years, zionist is coded language, a dog whistle for Jew or ally to Jews and this movement/organization has a major institutional racism problem. This video reminded me of “good ppl on both sides”"

Leading Palestinian Activist Dismisses Mark Ruffalo Remarks on Gaza and Paramount - "It was a coincidence that I found myself talking to one of the leading advocates for Palestinian rights in Gaza this weekend, Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib. Alkhatib is a senior fellow at the think tank The Atlantic Council in Washington D.C. and has a new book out called “Hamas and its Two Million Hostages,” which argues for ending Hamas rule in Gaza and empowering Palestinians to have agency in their own land. I was interested in learning about the book and he agreed to meet via Zoom. But over the previous two days, a controversy had broken out over remarks made by progressive activist and actor Mark Ruffalo regarding Gaza and Paramount’s proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. Ruffalo came under intense fire from Paramount itself — and by Sunday, four leading Jewish organizations — for tying the merger to the Ellison family and what he called Israel’s “genocide” in Gaza “which was built on an apartheid system of oppression powered by Oracle.”... “It’s mixing topics that do not need to be mixed,” he said. “It’s using the Palestinian issue as a cudgel that has little to nothing to do with a foreign policy subject. And it is meant to invoke a classic scare tactic – [that] of the omnipresent rich Jews who are in control of every aspect of society. “It’s bullshit to say Oracle is enabling genocide,” he went on. “There’s an abundance of capabilities that the US, NATO and foreign countries, the UAE, the Saudis, the Qataris, the Turks [use] – they contract with all of them. He went on: “I might not like the consolidation of the studios. It may be fair for some to push back on the consolidation of the media – that’s an entirely valid argument on its own. But to connect it to Gaza, and to proclaim that Larry and David Ellison are uniquely guilty of empowering Israel and enabling its activities against Palestinians and therefore this consolidation with Paramount is inherently evil – is clearly a manipulative effort by Mr. Ruffalo.”... Alkhatib is a somewhat unique figure in Palestinian policy circles because of his strident criticism of Hamas for what he believes was a disastrous decision to attack Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which brought so much suffering to his people and set back hopes for an independent Palestinian state. He was raised in Gaza and says he lost 30 family members to Israel’s war in the territory. He also says he lost hearing in his left ear due to an Israeli shell. Nonetheless, he advocates for what he calls “radical pragmatism.” In that vein he is unsparingly critical of the pro-Palestinian progressive movement in the West which, he believes, absolves Hamas of its responsibility by focusing single-mindedly on Israel’s actions and thus undermines Palestinian agency. He was typically unsparing of Ruffalo who he accused of grandstanding, and “a cadre within Hollywood who have promulgated the genocide narrative, without thinking critically about its implications, what it means.” “There are those who seek to make a point and there are those who try to make a difference,” he said. “It appears that time and time again Mr. Ruffalo is someone who is making a point at the expense of making a difference for the people of Gaza.”... “This is not about explaining the deal, but the furtherance of his already robustly radical platform and agenda. That has been about virtue signaling, not meaningfully moving the needle on this subject.”"

Meme - Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo: "The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life. This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle's business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven't given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn't move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede."
Eve Barlow @Eve_Barlow: "I'm so relieved for Mark's former friends."
Haim gozali @HAIM_GOZALI: "Mark Ruffalo says he's done talking to Jewish actors. Hey Mark, if that's really how you feel, maybe you should stop playing the Hulk too. After all, the character was created by two Jewish legends, Stan Lee and Jack..."

Meme - Bella Morris @Belorris: "Mothers in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran love their children as much as you love yours."
Michal/Michele @MichalSabra: "Mothers in Gaza don't love their children at all."
"I salute every mother of a martyr who urged her children to wage Jihad."
"My four children are martyrs I have no children left"
One cope I saw for a version of the first video turned into a meme was that by Jihad they meant struggle, not violent Jihad. Too bad this version includes the word "martyr" too.
The woman in the second video goes on to proclaim "I am proud of them. Alhamudillah. Oh Allah reward us for our calamity and grant us a better replacement. Listen Netanyahu we are ready to sacrifice more. More and more and more. Ya Allah take from our blood and souls and our children. And I also have two grandchildren. They are ready for the sake of Allah. It's all for the sake of Allah. Allah is the greatest and to him we give praise x2. Alhamudillah. And this is a zaghroota (sound made during celebration) for all the martyrs. Parade and celebrate the martyrs. Allah is the greatest and to him we give praise x3."
"Why are you so happy?"
"Why? I celebrate my children entering paradise! And I will join them. This is an honour for me!"

Human rights commissioner to intervene in appeal of VIU student suspended over Palestinian protests - "A Vancouver Island University (VIU) student has filed an appeal of a Supreme Court ruling upholding her two-year suspension for actions during Palestinian solidarity protests, and now the B.C. human rights commissioner will act as an intervenor.  Sara Kishawi, a Palestinian-Canadian was suspended by VIU in October 2024 for her actions during on-campus protests.  She filed with the BC Supreme Court to overturn her two-year suspension arguing that VIU acted outside of the scope of its authority, the university fettered its discretion in using a decision matrix, the decision was disproportionate and that the decision limited her Charter rights to engage in political expression.  Ultimately, a Supreme Court judge upheld the suspension, saying that Charter rights do not apply to student discipline...   “Freedom of speech and assembly are essential parts of our democratic rights,” said Kasari Govender, human rights commissioner. “My intervention will clarify that universities have an obligation to balance these values when deciding how to respond to protest activities on campus.”... Kishawi was suspended after four incidents between May and June 2024.  The first on May 15, when a group allegedly entered the roof of a building to hang a banner using rope and duct tape and the group refused to leave or identify themselves when asked by a security manager.  Then on May 16, a group brought a ladder to rehang the banner that had been blown back over the railing by the wind. Kishawi said she did not recall involvement in this incident.  On June 28, a group of students including Kishawi entered a building for a sit-in which the university said was loud and disruptive.  The final incident was when two people, including Kishawi, reportedly entered an employee-only area and wrote graffiti on two doors and an after-hours drop box and hung signs using duct tape. Kishawi said she did not recall this incident."
In BC, free speech means that you can vandalize and break into restricted areas if you push the left wing agenda. But if you peacefully and nonviolently express your opinion criticizing the left-wing agenda, you are violating human rights and must be crushed

Jewish prayer scrolls smashed, torn from residence doors at Wilfrid Laurier University - "Wilfrid Laurier University in southern Ontario is investigating after two Jewish prayer scrolls were smashed and torn from residence doors during the Jewish New Year holiday of Rosh Hashanah... A national report released in August found that 95.7 per cent of Jewish students had experienced or witnessed at least one antisemitic incident... In Guelph, a Jewish place of worship near that city's university has been vandalized with antisemitic graffiti twice this year."
Damn Zionists suppressing "pro-Palestine speech"!
Damn Mossad!

Steeve Strange on X - "In Gaza there are 0 Jews, being gay is a crime, and no elections have been held since 2006. THAT is apartheid. In Israel, 2 million Arabs are eligible to vote, serve as elected officials, and Tel Aviv has a Gay Pride parade. Stupid liberals scream "apartheid" at the wrong side."

Ivie Ani on X - "If you can’t say “Free Palestine” or speak out on any injustices against humanity across the world or at home without fear of losing a job, an opportunity, a connection, a title, or a platform, then you’re not free either and that’s the point."
From the people who spent years screeching that freedom of speech didn't mean freedom from consequences and canceling people for tweets
Of course if you go to jail for shattering a police woman spine with a sledgehammer that's an infringement on your freedom of speech but so-called White supremacists can't be allowed to peacefully gather because they are "hateful" and attacking them is free speech

Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia: New Hybrid Group Threatens and Confounds European Security Landscape - "Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya (HAYI), an ostensibly Iran-linked organisation that announced its presence online in March, has claimed these two incidents in addition to more than a dozen arson and sabotage attacks against Jewish, Israeli, or Western-affiliated institutions in Europe in what appears to be a retaliatory response to the United States-Israel war with Iran.   As of this publication date, HAYI has claimed 17 total incidents in the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Macedonia, and Greece, while British law enforcement officials have detained at least 28 people in connection with the London attacks alone. The attack on 29 April prompted the UK to raise its threat level to severe. Definitive verification of HAYI’s responsibility for each attack from law enforcement appears to be ongoing. British security officials have said they are investigating whether there is a connection between HAYI and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps... It is not yet clear whether the Golders Green stabbing suspect was paid to carry out the attack, or whether HAYI falsely claimed responsibility as part of a disinformation effort. However, HAYI’s claim of responsibility, combined with its use of drones to threaten the Israeli Embassy in London in a separate incident in April, marks a clear escalation in tactics. Notably, before the Golders Green stabbing incident, HAYI-claimed tactics were limited to arson and sabotage of institutional buildings — essentially symbolic targets, and most importantly, nobody was injured.   This now apparent escalation in approach has also been coupled with a ratcheting of rhetoric in their propaganda. For example, in a recent online communique, the group singled out US President Donald Trump and his family for “retribution”, in contrast to the language of previous messages, which were more generalised (Figure 1)."
Proof that Mossad was behind Golders Green!

Jon Pegasus on X - "Aaron Bastani promoting the antisemitic "false flag" conspiracy for the Golders Green ambulance attack."
Lowkey too<. Clearly Mossad is so sophisticated that they hired 4 Muslims to do it to cover up their involvement, and erased all the evidence/i>

Vince Fiorito | Facebook - "Profit was the motive for attacks against Jewish schools and synagogues, not antisemitism. Police continue to investigate who paid for these attacks.  Since Zionists used these attacks to lobby the government to create laws cracking down on protests demanding Canada impose punitive measures against apartheid Israel, the most likely explanation is that these are false flag attacks and that Zionists or the government of Israel are behind them.  Also it's proof that many of our political leaders are either Zionists or gullible genocidal exterminator enablers. 😢"
Clearly, Iran could not have hired them and it must be Mossad

PALESTINIAN MOM: “It’s Beautiful To Have Many Kids & Push Them To Death” - "a Palestinian female TV host shared a “beautiful idea” on a Libyan TV show.  “Why do Palestinians give birth to so many children?” she asked.  “I heard a beautiful answer!” she said excitedly. “We give birth to so many children so we can push them to death, to martyrdom.”  The Palestinian guest then interjected with a nostalgic story about his late grandfather who used to say: “They [Israel] have nuclear bombs and we have ‘offspring bombs.'”  “They use the children for the resistance,” the woman responded. “They sacrifice them for martyrdom.”"
Proof that Israel is evil and massacring Palestinian children and is committing genocide

Marina Medvin 🇺🇸 on X - "Remember when a Palestinian explained to a Fox News host that “the children are the most expendable. You can have more.”"

Oli London on X - "Transgender man stands on top of an NYPD car and screams “Free Palestine” while clutching a Christian cross and Palestinian flag."
Dave Rubin on X - "Ok, I’m upping the amount. 50K for this freak to go to Gaza and try this stunt…"

Zeek Arkham 🇺🇸 on X - "As a former NYPD lieutenant, I’ll give you the inside scoop on these protests:  Cops hate them. No one wants to work these details. You actively try to avoid the desk in order to not be notified of these.  You get to the detail and usually the “Free Palestine” crowd is on one side of the street and the pro-Israel side is on the other. You then spend the next couple hours trying to stop the “Free Palestine” crowd from physically attacking the pro-Israel crowd.  After that, the “Free Palestine” crowd will march and shut down traffic. Along the way, they’ll disrupt sidewalk cafes, random passersby, and anyone who they think might be Jewish.   Then they’ll find a place to stop, where they’ll harass cops, take their names and shield numbers, and threaten to doxx them. They’ll even pick fights with cops and do things so the cops will be forced to move in and arrest them. That’s where they’ll film their infamous YouTube videos highlighting “police brutality.” Mind you, the cops have been actively trying to protect them the entire time, but propaganda is needed.  After a 15 hour day, the cops are finally cut loose, waiting for the impending CCRB accusations.  … and everyone wonders why recruitment and retainment are down."

Dan Burmawi on X - "Palestinianism is a dumping ground.  A catch-all container for every resentful ideology, every broken theory, every radical cause.  Marxists, postcolonialists, jihadists, queer activists, anarchists, environmentalists, anti-capitalists, and antisemites, they all pour their agendas into it.  It’s the perfect host, just vague enough to absorb anything, just angry enough to justify everything.  Muslims use it to legitimize jihad and martyrdom under the guise of resistance to occupation.  Marxists use it to revive class warfare under the guise of anti-Zionism.  Postcolonial theorists use it to attack the West.  Intersectional activists use it to link Palestine to trans rights and racial justice in a grotesque logic of shared victimhood.  Academics use it to inject critical theory into international politics.  Antisemites use it to camouflage their hatred as humanitarianism.  Palestinianism is where incompatible ideologies suddenly find unity.  What binds them isn’t a coherent vision of justice, but a shared enemy: Israel, the West, the Judeo-Christian world, the structure, the order.  Palestinianism has become the dumping ground where failed ideologies go to be reborn."
The left wing agenda is all connected

Firdaus Wong Tells Malaysian Muslims: You Cry For Gaza, But You Dehumanise The Rohingya Next Door - "A Malaysian Islamic preacher has urged his own community to extend the same compassion they show oppressed Muslims abroad to Rohingya refugees living in Malaysia.  Firdaus Wong Wai Hung, president of Multiracial Reverted Muslims (MRM), made the remarks at the New Muslim Community Conference, where he urged Malaysians not to strip Rohingya refugees of their humanity...   Wong drew a direct line between the dehumanisation of Rohingya refugees in Malaysia and historical atrocities — including the Nazi treatment of Jews and the ongoing situation in Palestine — and asked why Malaysian Muslims, who are vocal about injustice overseas, apply a different standard to refugees living among them.  He acknowledged that Rohingya do not hold the same legal rights as Malaysian citizens, but said that distinction applies to policy, not to humanity.  Wong also noted that even within Islamic tradition, the rights of prisoners of war — to food, shelter, and protection from torture — are clearly established, and that refugees deserve no less...   Public sentiment toward Rohingya refugees in Malaysia has reached what human rights groups describe as a historic low — and the government has moved with it.  Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced an agreement with Myanmar’s military-backed administration to deport approximately 5,000 refugees.  The first phase, involving nearly 1,500 individuals, is scheduled to begin on 29 September.  Amnesty International Malaysia and Human Rights Watch have condemned the plan, warning that returning refugees to an active conflict zone puts lives at direct risk...   Critics argue that the Palestinian cause involves state-sponsored occupation and ethnic cleansing, while the Rohingya situation in Malaysia is a question of immigration law and national resources — and that conflating the two is a false equivalence."
"Humanity" is only a thing when you can hate Jews
Even if the Rohingya were trying to destroy Malaysia, just like how Palestinians are trying to annihilate Israel, this wouldn't justify their hypocrisy

Nancy Mace on X - "A 14-year-old girl in Gaza was traded for two bags of flour. Rape victims are being married off to their rapists in Gaza. Where are the feminists? Where are the Democrats who never miss a Gaza protest? Where are the Queers for Palestine?"

Pete North on X - "t bores me (as much as it bores you) to have to write about the Israeli conflict, but I am sick to death of the "Free Palestine" death cult. The reason you can tell Palestine supporters are antisemitic, is because they can muster obscure details about what happened in the region in 1916, 1949 and 1967, but couldn't tell you the first thing about any other regional war or post-imperial injustice - of which there are many. They are simply opposed to Jews having a homeland.   What you also notice is that they tend to be far leftists who don't even believe in borders and dispute anybody's right to a homeland (unless they fit the preferred victim criteria). It enrages them that Arabs were driven out (after the war they started), but don't care if Brits are made a minority in Britain. They are as much anti-civilisation and anti-West as they are anti-Israel.       I'm not interested in protracted debates about how Israel came about. Most of it was decided and pretty much settled before I was even born. What exists now is a functioning first world democratic state. The troubles there now are the same ones that have been bubbling throughout my lifetime, over what should be done about the Arab enclaves.   There are been several opportunities to formalise a state, but each time the hand of compromise has been slapped away by Palestinians, preferring instead to wage a pointless genocidal war of terror on the Jews. Consequently, I have no sympathy for their plight. Gaza could have thrived as a city sate - but they chose death instead.   I sometimes think people don't really know what war is. It's that thing when you set out to destroy your enemies. There are several ways of prosecuting a war, but it's usually inadvisable to start one unless you can win it.   On that basis, you might think Hamas was pretty dumb to provoke one of the most effective armies in the world, but Hamas aren't stupid. They understand that propaganda is also a weapon of war, by which you can leverage the gullibility and idiocy of people against your enemy.   This is quite a costly strategy in that provoking Israel to such an extent was always going to result in a sustained and uncompromising reply. Hamas, of course, knew this but they simply didn't care. They were prepared to sacrifice tens of thousands of their own people, playing the long game, in the somewhat plausible belief that they could turn international opinion against Israel.   That has worked a number of times in several wars, and its part of the reason the West could not sustain wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Israel is different though, because for Israel, it is not a war of choice. It is a fight or die equation where the opinions of others don't come into it.    For a time, though, Israel had reason for concern. International public opinion was turning sour - which is still dangerous for them. But I think that's probably over now because we can see Palestine supporters for who and what they are. Every single one of them has outed themselves as a first order moronic bigot who latches on to every other moronic cause.    We also see, in Britain particularly, supporters of this cause are also people who would do to us what Hamas did to Jews on 7/10 if they could - and have a track record of trying. It's the same people who've been grooming and raping teenage girls across England.   While pro-Palestine demonstrations have been large - often comprised of foreigners and subversives, they are still a minority. Most are just gullible students who will grow out of it eventually when they learn how the real world works. The vast majority of people in the UK don't care all that much. I certainly don't.   What Gazans are living through is exactly what they asked for, and far less than they deserve - especially after cheering on the psychopaths who paraded the corpses of the women they raped. One can only admire Israel's restraint. In the end, the war is one of civilisation versus Stone Age barbarism.
There's a Part 2 to this. Nobody who utters the words "Free Palestine" ever bothers to articulate what that actually means. To Islamists, that means a "Palestine" free of Jews, while to the average pro-pal activists, they don't have any concept of what it means because they've never looked at a map or given it a nanosecond's thought.  More sophisticated advocates for "Palestine" might suggest that it consists of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and that it requires the removal of all Jewish settlements in the region. Sounds very reasonable doesn't it?   That, though, has been offered to Palestinians several times. But such a peace would be disastrous to the Islamists. It would mean no international refugee status, no more aid funds to divert into Cayman Islands accounts, and would means doing the hard work of governing and peacebuilding instead of letting NGOs do all the work. They would have to do as the Jews did and build a country. More to the point, it would mean giving up on their religious imperative to kill all Jews.   If you bribed them with enough money, they might agree to this (which was actually tried) but soon after you get another Islamist group sponsored by outside Islamic influences to keep the grift going. Immediately afterwards, the terrorist attacks start up again, and Israel again has to close its borders and retaliate when it gets serious. Soon after, we are back here again.   In this universe, though, the West Bank becomes an existential military threat to Israel, - as a staging area for an invasion that could cut Israel in half. There is only one way Israel could agree to this and that is to ensure such a state is a protectorate that is never allowed conventional weapons of any kind. But even then, as we've seen with the Houthis, they can do an awful lot with unconventional weapons such as drones and Toyota pickups.   Before long Iran, Turkey, or one of the Arab petro-states would be funnelling weapons into the province for their own geopolitical ends. Setting yourself up in the Arab world as the enemy of the Jews is pivotal to maintaining your grip on power. Israel would have to pre-emptively invade, and then it's back to how it is now.   Not in a billion years can Israel allow such a strategic vulnerability to develop on its very doorstep. There is no scenario where giving Palestinians a state results in peaceful coexistence - and since this is an existential matter for the Jewish people, they are right to ignore their critics."

Anthony Rispo | Facebook - "The problem with this “Free Palestine” cult is very simple, but it’s also very complicated. They view what Israel has done to defend itself from a death cult as a “genocide.” But they fail to acknowledge that “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” is a call to annihilate the state of Israel. Like, an actual genocide.  To disentangle the reasons why these brainwashed, morally inverted idiots believe this requires one to enter a psychotic house of mirrors of conspiracy theories about the Jews as colonizers, and it’s exhausting.  These people are exhausting. They think they’re so virtuous, and they’re not. They don’t even know what they’re talking about.  I’m so over them."

Andy Ujku-Dardania | Facebook - "One of the most infuriating sense of entitlement in a movie I have ever watched was from The Hamburg Cell (2004).  It’s towards the beginning when 9/11 hijacker Ziad Jarrah arrives in Germany from Lebanon and is not particularly religious at that point. He’s hadn’t fallen in with the jihadist crowd yet.  He’s at a mosque with other Muslims and they’re all introducing each other and where they’re from. Ziad says he’s from Lebanon and almost immediately he incurs the wrath of a Palestinian man there who castigates the Lebanese for abandoning Palestine.  The exchange devolves into a shouting match between the two as Ziad angrily asks; “What do you want me to do? You want me to blow myself up”?  And the Palestinian guy incredulously says; “Yes, you should blow yourself up!” The fight is broken up by the other mosque attendees and that’s the end of it. But my God the sense of entitlement on that guy.  You want a total stranger who’s not even from your country to become a suicide bomber because you’re too chickenshit to do it yourself?  I find this level of entitlement to be a central feature of people from the global south. They think because you’re better off, you owe it to them…up to and including your life. It’s a very selfish and self-serving mindset."

Alan Shatter on X - "The Spanish government denied overflight permission to the plane flying Israeli rescuers to Columbia to provide humanitarian help and rescue services after the recent earthquake. Following their arrival they rescued from the rubble of a building a 3 year old girl buried for 5 days. The scandal ridden, incompetent Spanish socialist government, Ireland’s primary EU ally in demonising Israel,  deserves no credibility when it pretends dedication to human rights."

Thread by @mishtal on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "BREAKING: Mohsen Mahdawi has been presented to America as a peace activst.  We uncovered 15 years of previously unseen evidence - and it tells a very different story.  Today we publish our report. This is just some of what we found.  Thread ⬇️ ⬇️⬇️
Along with @raychfeldman, I went digging through years of archive material and social media posts.  Let us start long before he came to the U.S.  It is 2010 - his patience is wearing thin - and he promises that "soon, very soon, we will annihilate the Jews"There are plenty of posts from this period that glorify violence - but this footage from 2013 is still exceptional.  In a TV interview, Mahdawi suggests that if Palestinians “think a little”, they will see they have “the capacity and conviction to resist, to kill and to wound.”
An image of its time. Posted by his cousin to Mahdawi's timeline, with Mahdawi tagged in the image. A blurry photograph of a man holding a Kalashnikov who looks remarkably like Mahdawi.  Can we be 100% certain it is him? No. But take a look.
Mahdawi is now on U.S soil, but that does not stop him. Mahdawi explicitly praises the armed wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad - calling them lions and describing those pursuing resistance abroad as “mere dwarves.”Mahdawi tells the story of an uncle who inspired him toward education. But before that story appeared for a U.S. audience, Mahdawi described him differently in Arabic - as the man who taught him nationalism, to arm himself with "faith as with a rifle”, and “the first bullets.”The glorification of terrorists continued. In 2018, Mahdawi cursed and threatened Palestinian security forces. Their offence? Helping Israel capture a Hamas terrorist who had murdered a rabbi.  Mahdawi branded them “traitors.”Throughout this period, Mahdawi continued to praise numerous terrorists who were killed.  In 2021 he honours Fadi Washaha - a terrorist with a long history of armed violence involving guns, grenades and attacks at “zero distance.”  Mahdawi called him his “brother in struggle.”Mahdawi founded and led the Columbia University protests, standing alongside those calling for an intifada. He even spoke alongside Nerdeen Kiswani at a Within Our Lifetime event.  Here he speaks to the crowd directly in front of a banner declaring “BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.”Mahdawi claims he stepped back from the movement - but his social media posts in October 2024 were still offering full support for the Columbia protests. He also says he withdrew before the encampment. But here he is inside it.
It gets worse. December 2024 - a decade after Mahdawi moved to America.  HHe posts a video in Arabic and describes “armed resistance in the West Bank or Gaza” alongside the overseas “popular resistance” that “we began and are still engaged in.”  His words below ⬇️⬇️
Even after the arrest it continued. 2026: Mahdawi had left a Facebook group he created that glorified Palestinian terrorists. In 2026, he chose to rejoin it - reassociating himself with the group and becoming an administrator once again.
Then there is Mahdawi's family. He posted on instagram about how their lives were "stolen" - but when we traced them - we found the image was very different. Each of them were tied to armed resistance.
Finally, the story at the heart of Mahdawi’s transformation. He says his best friend was shot dead in front of him as a child - and he held his blood-soaked body - and his uncle then spoke by his graveside. Our investigation shows chronology makes his account impossible. This is only some of what we found - there is far too much to document in a thread.  The full investigation, with the evidence and sources, is in our report.  Read the introductory article and download the report here: ⬇️"

Yehuda Teitelbaum on X - "Hi @jstreetdotorg, Any regrets about supporting a college student who posted "For soon, very soon, we shall annihilate the Jews."?"
Yehuda Teitelbaum on X - "Hey @bradlander, remember your friend Mohsen Mahdawi, who you called a “powerful example” of compassion and peacemaking? Here’s Mahdawi promising that “soon, very soon, we will annihilate the Jews.” Still honored to call him a friend, Brad?"

Open on X (Translated) - "Festival of Open 2026, Albanese: "I agree with those who think we need to stop sending weapons to Kiev" - The video"
Nathan Ruser on X - "In a surprise to no-one who's paid passing attention to Francesca Albanese through her many years of supporting and spreading Assad's propaganda, she has plenty of deeply idiotic takes that support murderous dictators. Here's another for the pile.   Her support of Palestine is perhaps the only group of deeply oppressed people where I haven't seen her side with the oppressors. Certainly not the rule."
Kevin Yam 任建峰 on X - "Even in the case of Palestine, Francesca Albanese’s position is consistent with her other pro-murderous dictator views insofar as it’s never really about human rights and always actually about being reflexively anti-Western.  There’s a Chinese saying translating roughly as “A long road reveals a horse’s power, a long time reveals a person’s heart” (路遙知馬力、日久見人心) - this is so true of Francesca Albanese."
Left wingers just hate the West
