The "Nakba" according to its Author

To know what "the Nakba" was, it is good to read what the person who coined the term said:

"Seven Arab states declare war on Zionism in Palestine, stop impotent before it, and then turn on their heels. The representatives of the Arabs deliver fiery speeches in the highest international forums, warning what the Arab states and peoples will do if this or that decision be enacted. Declarations fall like bombs from the mouths of officials at the meetings of the Arab League, but when action becomes necessary, the fire is still and quiet, the steel and iron are rusted and twisted, quick to bend and disintegrate. The bombs are hollow and empty. They cause no damage and kill no one.

Seven states seek the abolition of partition and the subduing of Zionism, but they leave the battle having lost a not inconsiderable portion of the soil of Palestine, even of the part "given" to the Arabs in the partition. They are forced to accept a truce in which there is neither advantage nor gain for them...

In short, the Zionist home in Palestine is today closer to realization than ever before. On the other side, the very being of the Arabs has never before known such fragmentation and collapse as in this battle.

In addition to the material collapse is the collapse of values which is shown [in various ways. It is shown] by the doubt of the Arabs in their governments and by their accusations of their leaders and rulers, even by the doubt of many of them in themselves and in their potentiality as a nation. [It is also shown] by the despair in their breasts, by their refusal to meet the danger, and by their shrinking before the magnitude of the blow. Indeed, this moral and spiritual relapse is more important than the material loss, no matter how great the latter might be; for if the resolu- tion of a people crumbles and its confidence in itself is lost, it loses the best that it possesses and is impotent to rise after a fall or to shake from itself the dust of humiliation and defeat.

These are some aspects of the disaster which has overtaken the Arabs in this battle of the Palestine war. These and others, which are on the tips of all tongues, which throb in all hearts, and which every one of us sees and hears [cited] in these critical days, are sufficient to indicate the seriousness of the trial and the intensity of the tragedy...

When the battle broke out, our internal propaganda began to tell us about imaginary victories and to benumb the Arab peoples with the easiness of our military struggle and our ability to overcome and conquer -- until the disaster struck, accompanied by a bitter reaction...

When we view this disaster and appraise its extent and its results, it is also right and fair for us to know that it is only one battle in a long war. If we have lost this battle, that does not mean that we have lost the whole war or that we have been finally routed with no possibility of a later revival...

By advocating that we take far-reaching action and that we view the war in its entirety instead of confining ourselves to the present battle, I do not mean that we should merely await the course of events and depend on favorable circumstances...

I hope that, in the above discussion, I have hit on the truth in describing our present disaster in Palestine and that I have made clear its seriousness and gravity, and the intensity with which it now afflicts us and will afflict us in the future. I also hope that I have pictured the disaster as it really is and that I have outlined the course which we must take in relation to it and the viewpoint from which we must look at it, for this is the necessary first step in analyzing a problem and studying the ways of solving it...

However, whether we are able to strike this crushing blow successfully and establish a united, democratic state in Palestine or whether we prove impotent and have partition imposed on us by the Zionists and the rest of the world, the struggle must go on...

The present struggle, which we have described and whose principles and conditions we have drawn up, is necessary for the battle we are now waging. However, the war waged to uproot Zionism and to conquer it completely will not be finished in a single battle. On the contrary it will require a long and protracted war. To put it briefly -- and in all frankness and sincerity -- this war will not lead to the victory of the Arabs as long as they remain in their present condition. The most that they will be able to accomplish under the circumstances is to guard against the immediate Zionist evil and to protect as much of the Arab being as possible. The road to final and complete victory over this evil is different. The road to this victory lies in a fundamental change in the situation of the Arabs, and in a complete transformation of their modes of thought, action, and life."

--- The Meaning of the Disaster, Constantine K. Zurayk aka Constantin Zureiq (1948), 1956 translation by R. Bayly Winder

There's also quite a lot of racism in the pamphlet, but basically the "Nakba" (disaster) was the failure of the Arabs to eradicate the Jews.

A Salient Example of Hajj Amin el-Husseini’s Canonical Islamic Jew-Hatred—Introduction, Text, and Commentary (6/6)

Finishing this series, I am giving it the "Islamic Jew Hatred" label.

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6

This bit contains the citation about Palestine being considered a Islamic waqf (which again appears in the 1988 Hamas Charter) which can never be given to non-Muslims (which explains the Israeli-Palestinian conflict).

A Salient Example of Hajj Amin el-Husseini’s Canonical Islamic Jew-Hatred—Introduction, Text, and Commentary (6/X)

"The missionary Gregory Wortabet‘s mid-19th century account from Jerusalem (published in 1856) confirms Lane‘s reference about the apparent commonality of Muslims equating their domesticated asses (donkeys) with Jews, accompanied by "opprobrious epithets"—and often abuse—of either, or both. Wortabet cites another Jew-hating motif from canonical Islam‘s repertoire, the alleged poisoning of Muhammad by a Khaybar Jewess, as a possible rationale for such chronic Muslim attitudes toward Jews. His anecdote also documents the pejorative reference to Jews as "hogs" (pigs), in accord with Koran 5:60.

The Jew is still an object of scorn, and nowhere is the name of "Yahoodi (Jew)" more looked down upon than here in the city of his fathers. One day, as I was passing the Damascus gate, I saw an Arab hurrying on his donkey amid imprecations such as the following: "Emshi ya Ibn-el-Yahoodi (Walk, thou son of a Jew)! Yulaan abuk ya Ibn-el- Yahoodi (Cursed be thy father, thou son of a Jew)!" I need not give any more illustrations of the manner in which the man went on. The reader will observe, that the man did not curse the donkey, but the Jew, the father of the donkey. Walking up to him, I said, "Why do you curse the Jew? What harm has he done you?" "El Yahoodi khanzeer (the Jew is a hog)!" answered the man. "How do you make that out?" I said. "Is not the Jew as good as you or I?" "Ogh!" ejaculated the man, his eyes twinkling with fierce rage, and his brow knitting. By this time he was getting out of my hearing. I was pursuing my walk, when he turned round, and said, "El Yahoodi khanzeer! Khanzeer el Yahoodi! (The Jew is a hog! A hog is a Jew!)" Now I must tell the reader, that, in the Mahomedan vocabulary, there is no word lower than a hog, that animal being in their estimation the most defiled of animals; and good Mahomedans are prohibited by the Koran from eating it. The Jew, in their estimation, is the vilest of the human family, and is the object of their pious hatred, perhaps from the recollection that a Jewess of Khaibar first undermined the health of the prophet by infusing poison into his food. [emphasis added] Hence a hog and a Jew are esteemed alike in the eye of a Moslem, both being the lowest of their kind; and now the reader will better understand the meaning of the man‘s words, "El Yahoodi khanzeer!"

Moshe Perlmann, an eminent scholar of Islam‘s Medieval era anti-Jewish polemical literature, made this rueful summary observation in 1964:

The Koran, of course became a mine of anti-Jewish passages. The hadith did not lag behind. Popular preachers used and embellished such material.

The numerous salient examples of Islam‘s canonical Jew-hatred punctuating Hajj Amin el- Husseini‘s 1937 declaration validate Perlmann‘s concise overarching assessment of these foundational Islamic sources, and their tragic application across space and time, into the modern era.

El-Husseini‘s promulgation of jihad and canonical Islamic Jew-hatred in pursuit of the destruction of Palestinian Jewry, and later, the nascent Jewish State of Israel, has reverberated across the ensuing decades. Consider two complementary fatwas, one written January 5, 1956, by then grand mufti of Egypt, Sheikh Hasan Ma‘moun, and another January 9, 1956, signed by the leading members of the Fatwa Committee of Al Azhar University—Sunni Islam‘s Vatican— and the major representatives of all four Sunni Islamic schools of jurisprudence. These rulings elaborated the following key initial point: that all of historical Palestine—modern Jordan, Israel, and the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria, as well as Gaza—having been conquered by jihad, was a permanent possession of the global Muslim umma (community), "fay territory"— booty or spoils—to be governed eternally by Islamic law.

Muslims cannot conclude peace with those Jews who have usurped the territory of Palestine and attacked its people and their property in any manner which allows the Jews to continue as a state in that sacred Muslim territory. [As] Jews have taken a part of Palestine and there established their non-Islamic government and have also evacuated from that part most of its Muslim inhabitants. . . . Jihad . . . to restore the country to its people . . . is the duty of all Muslims, not just those who can undertake it. And since all Islamic countries constitute the abode of every Muslim, the Jihad is imperative for both the Muslims inhabiting the territory attacked, and Muslims everywhere else because even though some sections have not been attacked directly, the attack nevertheless took place on a part of the Muslim territory which is a legitimate residence for any Muslim… Everyone knows that from the early days of Islam to the present day the Jews have been plotting against Islam and Muslims and the Islamic homeland. They do not propose to be content with the attack they made on Palestine and Al Aqsa Mosque, but they plan for the possession of all Islamic territories from the Nile to the Euphrates.

Although free of eschatological references, the January 1956 Al Azhar fatwas‘ language and arguments—pronounced from Sunni Islam‘s most esteemed religious teaching institution—are otherwise indistinguishable from those employed just over three decades later by Hamas (in its 1988 covenant), revealing the same conjoined motivations of jihad, and conspiratorial Islamic Jew-hatred.

Koran 3:112, which affirms the curse of permanent abasement upon the Jews for transgressing Allah‘s will, and killing his prophets, is featured before the pre-amble to Hamas‘ foundational Covenant—it is literally part of the very first statement of the document. Article 7 re-states the canonical apocalyptic hadith of Jew annihilation requisite to ushering in the messianic age, which concluded Hajj Amin el-Husseini‘s 1937 declaration:

...the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to realize the promise of Allah, no matter how long it takes. The Prophet, Allah's prayer and peace be upon him, says: "The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, so that the Jews hide behind trees and stones, and each tree and stone will say: 'Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,‘ except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews." (Sahih Muslim, Book 41, Number 6985)

Jihad is the other pillar of Hamas‘ foundational ideology featured in the 1988 Covenant. Article 15 (subtitled, "Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine is a Personal Duty") elucidates classical jihadist theory, as well as its practical modern application to the destruction of Israel by jihad:

The day the enemies conquer some part of the Muslim land, jihad becomes a personal duty of every Muslim. In the face of the Jewish occupation of Palestine, it is necessary to raise the banner of jihad. This requires the propagation of Islamic consciousness among the masses, locally [in Palestine], in the Arab world and in the Islamic world. It is necessary to instill the spirit of jihad in the nation, engage the enemies and join the ranks of the jihad fighters. The indoctrination campaign must involve ulama, educators, teachers and information and media experts, as well as all intellectuals, especially the young people and the sheikhs of Islamic movements...It is necessary to establish in the minds of all the Muslim generations that the Palestinian issue is a religious issue, and that it must be dealt with as such…

Recent polling data indicate that these traditionalist Islamic views—espoused across a continuum of 75 years by el-Husseini, Al Azhar University, and Hamas—resonate with the Palestinian Muslim population. American pollster Stanley Greenberg performed what was described as an "intensive, face-to-face survey in Arabic of 1,010 Palestinian adults in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip." As reported in July, 2011 these data revealed that seventy-three percent of Palestinian Muslims agreed with the dictates of the apocalyptic hadith (Sahih Muslim, Book 41, Number 6985; included in both el-Husseini‘s 1937 declaration, and the 1988 Hamas Covenant) calling for the annihilation of the Jews, to bring on the messianic age. Eighty percent supported the destruction of Israel by jihad, and the need to recruit the entire global Muslim community, or "umma" in this quintessential Islamic cause.

Almost four decades ago Bat Ye‘or published a remarkably insightful analysis of contemporary Islamic Jew-hatred, in particular, its annihilationist predilection. She hypothesized that the rise of Jewish nationalism—Zionism—posed a predictable, if completely unacceptable challenge to the Islamic order—jihad-imposed chronic dhimmitude for Jews—of apocalyptic magnitude.

The pejorative characteristics of Jews as they are described in Muslim religious texts are applied to modern Jews. Anti-Judaism and anti-Zionism are equivalent—due to the inferior status of Jews in Islam, and because divine will dooms Jews to wandering and misery, the Jewish state appears to Muslims as an unbearable affront and a sin against Allah. Therefore it must be destroyed by Jihad. Here the Pan-Arab and anti-Western theses that consider Israel as an advanced instrument of the West in the Islamic world, come to reinforce religious anti-Judaism.

Bat Ye‘or‘s 1974 observations have now been confirmed by the first thorough textual analysis of the exclusively Islamic sources utilized in a critically important 1937 pronouncement by Hajj Amin el-Husseini. One can only speculate as to why such an investigation was not conducted decades earlier."

From the footnotes:

29. See Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 55, Number 546 http://bit.ly/16GJkUY (pp. 770-771); and The Life of Muhammad—A Translation of Sirat Rasul Allah, pp. 239, 248, 255. The Abbasid Caliph al-Mamun (who ruled from 813–833), allegedly had a Jewish notable drowned for referring to Muhammad as a liar. Immediately thereafter, it is also claimed, al-Mamun recounted for those present (The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism, p. 222)

the story of al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad, a friend of the Prophet—how, (when he was on one of his journeys), he was accompanied for a whole day by a Jew. When evening came, al- Miqdad remembered the saying handed down from the Prophet: "No Jew meets with a Muslim in privacy unless he has some scheme to trap him."

Links - 18th October 2026 (2 - Hamas Attack Oct 2023 [including Hamas Media Coordination])

Mossad Commentary on X - "🚨 GAZA PHOTOGRAPHER ADMITS HE WITHHELD OCT. 7 FOOTAGE
Prominent Palestinian photographer Motaz Azaiza says he filmed Israeli hostages being abused by crowds on Oct. 7, but deliberately did not publish the footage because he feared Israel could use it to identify and target those involved. He also delivered unusually harsh criticism of Hamas:
• “Show me one Palestinian in Gaza who was protected by Hamas’s weapons. No one.”
• He says Hamas had a chance by Oct. 11, 2023 to accept a deal involving disarmament that could have prevented massive destruction and loss of life.
• He describes a Hamas-run WhatsApp mechanism used to intimidate journalists, circulate their personal details, and coordinate attacks against anyone who crossed the organization.
• Gaza photographers, he says, learned to lower their cameras whenever civilians criticized Hamas because publishing such footage could make them targets.
Azaiza was named to TIME’s 100 most influential people and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Now he is describing, in his own words, how much of Gaza’s story never made it onto your screen."

Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X - "Motaz Azaiza is forcing a reckoning the “pro‑Palestine” movement never anticipated. Because he’s celebrated by activists, politicians, and journalists and can’t be smeared as a “Zionist shill,” his admission carries weight: Gaza’s journalism space functioned under Hamas’s control, and any reporter who deviated from the group’s narrative risked “disappearing behind the sun.” That single truth reshapes how we understand the stories pushed out of Gaza since October 7 and explains why dissent against Hamas’s rule never surfaced publicly. Western journalists and outsiders, unaware of this coercive ecosystem, ended up amplifying Hamas’s information warfare rather than scrutinizing it."

Leslie Kajomovitz on X - "Listen to Motaz Azaiza in an another interview call Jews dogs, and be more explicit about his excitement at seeing the hostages being brutalized in the streets of Gaza on October 7th. In this interview, he is more explicit also on how the only reason he didn't participate was because he was afraid of Israel, not because he didn't want to. In the same interview he speaks of many things, but in it, he does something he didn't do in his last interview. He confirms he was a member of Hamas before he went to university and joined Fatah. Later he "realized" he "can't be affiliated to any group," because neither faction "works for the sake of Palestinians" @StateDept @SecRubio did Motaz Azaiza disclose his membership with a terror organization in his immigration forms? Why is Motaz Azaiza in America?!? FYI: @EFischberger @EYakoby @chalavyishmael @MaxNordau"

S Sebag Montefiore on X - "BOMBSHELL: Gaza Photojournalist Reveals Hamas Ran a WhatsApp Group to Control War Coverage Motaz Azaiza — once the face of Gaza's war reporting, with nearly 20M followers — says a Hamas-linked WhatsApp group called "Smart" directed media coverage and organized attacks on journalists who broke from its line."

Eyal Yakoby on X - "Motaz Azaiza just admitted that Gaza’s journalists were all in a Hamas WhatsApp group called SMART—where they “managed the discourse and the narrative.” Journalists coordinating the narrative with Hamas should be a massive international scandal. Instead, there’s not a word."
Josh Wolfe on X - "This is INSANE. should be front page news of every US paper. Chance the NYT even mentions it once?"

Eitan Fischberger on X - "So it turns out that Hamas runs a WhatsApp group with all of Gaza’s journalists, where Hamas “managed the discourse and the narrative.” These outlets have "journalists" in Gaza: Reuters, AP, NYT, CNN, Wapo, PBS, NPR, BBC, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, and Drop Site News"
Eylon Levy on X - "Hamas won the information war. Now it’s bragging. Because it’s already won. And nobody will admit they got duped."

Nazi Hunters on X - "“Women here!” “Take off your pants!” “Take off your clothes!” “Spread your legs!” “Don’t make trouble!”
This is the translation guide that Hamas terrorists carried and used during the October 7 massacres, helping them to pronounce these instructions in Hebrew so they could kidnap, rape, and slaughter Jews more efficiently. Never forget."

Alessandra on X - "After 9/11, I believed what they said that Muslims didn’t support. Religion of peace they said. 10/7 seeing so many cheering it on showed me muslim communities have a large scale problem with support for violence & terrorism & hatred of non Muslims which they refuse to address"

Meme - "GENOCIDE? UNRWA, the United Nations agency responsible for Palestinian refugees, released its report on the number of Palestinian refugees
IN 2022 REPORT BEFORE THE HAMAS ATTACK ON ISRAEL THERE WERE 5,747,065 PALESTINIAN REFUGEES REGISTERED WITH UNRWA
IN 2025 REPORT THERE WERE 5,795,136 PALESTINIAN REFUGEES REGISTERED WITH UNRWA

IF THE UN'S OWN NUMBERS ARE SHOWING THAT THE PALESTINIAN POPULATION IS GROWING, HOW ARE PEOPLE CLAIMING THAT THERE IS A GENOCIDE?"
The terrorist supporter cope is that genocide isn't defined by killing everyone in sight. But given how loosely genocide can be defined nowadays, wanting to destroy a group and giving one member of it a condom and telling him to use it is also "genocide"

Meme - Barak Ravid @BarakRavid: "Netanyahu: "Israel rejects the Gaza Board of Peace 15-point document. The IDE will not make any withdrawal until Hamas disarms. I mean the heavy weapons, the less heavy weapons, all the weapons. And we are talking about real disarmament, not fictitious disarmament""
Ilan Goldenberg: "There's no example in history of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration working when one side insists on the other's total surrender before taking any steps. This isn't a recipe for "real disarmament." It's a recipe for perpetuating the stalemate in Gaza. Bibi knows it."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know: "Germany and Japan are a counterexample: both surrendered unconditionally in 1945, after which Allied-led demilitarization and reintegration succeeded, producing stable democracies. This contradicts the claim that no DDR has worked after a demand for total surrender."
Everystein Singleberg Timeowitz

Uri Kurlianchik on X - "I'm so tired of hearing Gaza was a defenseless ghetto. At 40,000+ militants, one of the world's largest military tunnel networks, and thousands of rockets, Gaza had a bigger and stronger military than most European states. Gaza was never a concentration camp. It was a fortress."
David Boxenhorn on X - "A fortress, supplied by its enemy. Who would believe it?"
Uri Kurlianchik on X - "To quote he who should not be named, "if all the water in all the seas was turned into ink and all the trees into paper, this would still not be enough to write down the madness happening in Israel every day.""

Meme - Hussain Abdul-Hussain @hahussain: "One of the “children of Gaza” Israel killed, shown in this video doing what all children his age do, firing RPGs on Israelis. Wait, why?"

Meme - "Sacrificing your own Civilians on purpose to build a narrative. #GazaGenoLIE"

Meme - Aizenberg @Aizenberg55: "Hamas' May 2026 Gaza fatality list shows an even higher share of combat-age males among claimed war deaths, at a ratio to females. Hamas' own data, which includes some natural deaths and fatalities caused by Hamas itself, sharply contradicts any notion of "genocide.""
"Gaza War Fatalities Per Hamas - May 2026 by Age & Sex
72,835 fatalities as of May 2026
75% of fatalities ages 13-55 are male representing 26,000 excess fatalities
High teen male deaths = child soldiers
69% of fatalities ages 13-17 are male representing 2,900 excess fatalities"
When terrorist supporters go on about how Israel is killing "children", they're really admitting that Hamas uses child soldiers. But of course, Israel is to blame

Meme - Aizenberg @Aizenberg55: "13-year-old Muhammad Al-Qattani was portrayed as an innocent child killed in an IDF strike. But he was another child soldier recruited by Islamic Jihad, probably at age 12. The militarization of Gaza's children by Hamas and PU is never mentioned by those "NGOs" and "experts.""
When terrorist supporters accuse Israel of killing children, at least some of those "children" are actually enemy combatants. But of course, self defence is "genocide" if left wingers hate you, because they want you to be murdered by your enemies as they cheer

Eitan Fischberger on X - "For nearly three years, CPJ helped push the incendiary narrative that Israel was systematically slaughtering journalists. Now CPJ just announced that it has removed another 22 people from its database. Twenty were removed after new research established “engagement in combat," meaning terrorism. That’s on top of 8 it had already removed after determining they were Hamas or PIJ combatants. So CPJ has now removed 28 supposed journalists for literal participation in hostilities. And understand how absurdly narrow CPJ’s standard is. Affiliation with Hamas or PIJ doesn’t disqualify you. Even membership in an armed group doesn’t automatically disqualify you. CPJ only draws the line at actual engagement in combat. Yet even by that ridiculous standard, 28 names failed their test. The review began after Hamas and PIJ themselves published obituaries identifying supposed “journalists” as combatants. And those obituaries keep coming. CPJ’s credibility should be in tatters — for good."

Dr. Maalouf ‏ on X - "I was today years old when I learned that an estimated 20,000 deaths from natural causes in Gaza are counted as genocide victims. Apparently, Hamas hasn’t released the natural death numbers since 2023 and automatically includes anyone who dies in the total ‘genocide’ figure."

Olivia Kelly 💋 on X - "96% of Jews in Poland were murdered by the Nazis. That is genocide. 3% of Gaza’s population, mostly male combatants, died in the war they started. That is not genocide."
The cope is that genocide isn't defined by killing everyone in sight. Given how loose the definition of genocide is these days, if you make comments about destroying members of a group and then give one member of the group a condom and sternly tell him to use it, that is also "genocide".

Open Source Intel on X - "NEW: Footage from central Gaza shows an armed operative using a child to carry weapons into a residential building."
AG on X - "Worth noting that the human shield strategy would be pointless if they believed Israel was willing to just target indiscriminately. The only reason to do this is because Hamas/PIJ believe that having a child act as a human shield makes an Israeli action less likely."
Clearly, the fact that the IDF kills some children shows that they're guilty of "genocide"

Senior Hamas official sparks outrage in Gaza after referring to war casualties as 'material calculations' - "A senior Hamas official has drawn widespread anger from Gaza residents after referring to the high death toll in the Strip as “material calculations.” In a recent interview, Qatar-based Hamas senior official Sami Abu Zuhri remarked that the number of births in Gaza — around 50,000 — exceeds the number of war casualties, which he claimed demonstrates that the losses do not reflect the broader picture of the conflict. He added, “The martyrs [killed in the war] — the wombs of Gaza’s women will give birth to twice as many. This is the price that must be paid. If we thought in material terms, we would not be able to hold onto our land.”... During an anti-Hamas protest held yesterday in Khan Younis, demonstrators directly condemned Abu Zuhri’s remarks, chanting: “Oh Abu Zuhri, you disgrace, even the child wants to live.”"
Clear proof that Israel wants to kill as many Palestinians as possible

Barry Andrews MEP on X - "The updated @Google satellite images of #Gaza are quite incredible, for all to see..."
Gravimetric on X - "I'm glad you posted this because I just spent an hour on google maps, looking at Gaza. It showed me that you and the rest of the "Free Palestine" crew are clearly cherry-picking images and only posting images of the destruction. I made sure that every image I looked at was taken in 2026 and what I saw is that the majority of Gaza remains untouched by Israel. I encourage anyone reading this to look for yourself and you'll see that these liberal lunatics are lying and only posting images that back up their "genocide" nonsense. Has Israel blown shit up, yes. But it's nowhere near as bad as they're saying it is."
Edward Baker 🐇 on X - "You know what's weird? Use GoogleEarth and scan up the seaside. No destruction (a few marine ports, yes), but basically untouched. Why? You can't tunnel near the sea. Water table is too high."

Gazan Maastricht University student faces no criminal investigation over October 7 video - " A Gazan student at Maastricht University who appeared to suggest in a video that he had been involved in the October 7 attack on Israel will not face further criminal investigation. The Public Prosecution Service (OM) and police found no reason to investigate the matter further. After reviewing the video, authorities concluded that no criminal offenses had been committed, including involvement in a terrorist attack, glorification of terrorism, or incitement. Media outlets reported that the student published a video to Instagram on September 26 in which he was watching footage of the attack on TV and saying “this is me” when masked Hamas fighters were on screen. The video has since been deleted."
Time to import more Palestinians

Pro-Palestine protesters defy police over Oct 7 march - "Pro-Palestinian protesters are planning a “provocative” pro-Palestinian march on Oct 7 in defiance of the police... A spokesman for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “Organising a march on the anniversary of the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust is an outrageous provocation. “It is impossible not to remember how Palestine activists demonstrated on the day of the attack back in 2023 before Israel had even responded. “That’s because the motivation of these hate marches has always had less to do with solidarity with Gaza than with hatred for the world’s only Jewish state. “Almost 60 per cent of Jews would not feel comfortable disclosing their Jewish identity at university, according to our representative polling. This event will do nothing to alleviate those concerns. We are writing to several institutions, including the universities involved, to demand accountability.” Last year, hundreds of students across Britain held Pro-Palestine protests on Oct 7, chanting “long live the intifada”, “from river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and “occupation is a crime, get your hands off Palestine”. The march took place six days after a terror attack at Heaton Park synagogue, which caused the death of two people and the perpetrator."
The cruelty is the point

Ghadi Abou Mjahed on X - "Japan and Germany were completely destroyed in WW2, yet their kids didn’t become terrorists. Stop making excuses for Arabs."

Facebook - "In 1945, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Berlin and Dresden lay in ruins. Millions were dead and millions more were homeless. Within a generation, Japan and Germany had become two of the richest, most peaceful democracies on earth. Suffering is real. It has never forced anyone to become a terrorist. Rebuilding is a choice, and so is killing."
Comments: "And they weren’t perpetual refugees"

Kamel Amin Thaabet on X = "The savagery of October 7 caused too much cognitive dissonance with the progressive image of noble white-hearted Palestinian and wicked Israeli. They NEED the genocide narrative as a psychological corrective to return equilibrium to their internal worldview."
David Bernstein on X - "It's also why they tore down Israeli hostage posters. They have a psychological need to see Palestinians only as victims, and Israelis only as perpetrators."
It's also why many terrorism supporters, if they're not praising it as "resistance", claim that Oct 7 was done by the IDF and go on about the Hannibal Directive. Of course, some of them switch between the two, so it is literally "this is not happening, and it's good that it is", as is usual for left wingers

Leviathan on X - "The students of Rick Hansen Secondary School @RHSSStormPDSB in Mississauga are being encouraged to wear their keffiyeh to school to commemorate the October 7th terrorist attacks."
Clearly, schools are just teaching their students "empathy", and no one supports terrorists or terrorism

Mark Changizi on X - "Iranians show footage of piles of bodies to document the January massacre by the Islamic Republic. Because that’s what one does when documenting mass killing. The Holocaust? Mass graves and piles of corpses. Rwanda? Mass graves and human remains. Cambodia? Killing fields filled with skeletons. Srebrenica? Mass graves — so many bodies that investigators could reconstruct how perpetrators dug them up and moved them to secondary graves to hide the crime. Mass killing leaves bodies. But Gaza?

Jeremy Diamond on X - "We found 24/40 deaths can be traced back to Israeli military actions. That includes direct IDF strikes/gunfire, but also when Israeli military actions led captors to kill their hostages. That's not just us saying that: the IDF has acknowledged that in many of these cases"
Mehdi Hasan on X - "A majority of the hostage deaths can be ‘traced back to Israeli military actions’! Good job Netanyahu! Good job IDF defenders in the West! 👏🏽👏🏽"
Julie Roginsky on X - "This take is embarrassing. Every single hostage death can be traced back to Hamas taking these people hostage."
Terrorist supporter logic: if you try to rescue hostages and the terrorists kill them, it's your fault

Universities finally sound ready to tackle campus antisemitism: Ivison | National Post - "The macabre spectacle of planned pro-Hamas vigils at universities across Canada on Wednesday “honouring our martyrs” may wipe away the last vestiges of public trust in our seats of higher learning. The fact that remembrance on October 7 is being devoted to the perpetrators of murder and rape, rather than their victims, is a sign of how far universities have allowed a Marxian secular worship of “the oppressed” to justify bullying, intimidation and harassment of Jews in Canada... as a review of antisemitic incidents at Toronto Metropolitan University last year by Justice Mary Lou Benotto found, the absence of clear enforcement, combined with ambiguity around free expression, has contributed to the perception that disruption and discrimination carry few consequences. It is possible that individual students were sanctioned after the TMU review, which followed on from the violent disruption of two Jewish-linked events. Pages of the report were redacted on privacy grounds. But the Benotto review concluded that the deteriorating campus climate was the result of the absence of decisive action by the university. The consequences of this inaction are evident in the findings of the Campus Anti-Semitism and Student Experience (CASE) report, commissioned by the federal government. It found 84 per cent of the 900 Jewish students interviewed said antisemitism on campus is a serious problem; 95.7 per cent said they had experienced or witnessed it; 70 per cent said their university does not take antisemitism seriously; and 68 per cent said their campus is not a safe or inclusive place. More than half of those students avoid wearing or displaying Jewish symbols — a damning statistic in a country that trumpets its diversity credentials... York University removed an anti-Israel encampment almost immediately, while other campuses, such as McGill, tolerated them. They quickly became the focal points for antisemitism."

Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X - "Is Hamas Becoming a Global Identity Vehicle? Support for Hamas has morphed into a transnational phenomenon that is not just about being “pro-Palestine.” Instead, Hamas and what it represents have become a form of rebellious identity expression and a vessel for a sprawling mix of grievances: ideological, economic, cultural, and psychological. Its jihadist violence is being repackaged as a catch‑all outlet for anti‑Western, anti‑capitalist, anti‑white, and antisemitic politics. Whether it is leftism or Islamism, the “resistance” narrative that Hamas ostensibly represents has become quite a normalized interpretation of how to think about October 7 and the past two decades in Gaza, while erasing Palestinian agency, responsibility, and accountability. The inability to truly understand the complexities and actual details of the Israel and Palestine conflict is why so many support Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the Iranian regime, all of whom are somehow seen as correcting or challenging white-centric dominance and colonialism. The third anniversary of October 7 exposed the scale of this shift. Large crowds in American and European cities used the worst day for Jews since the Holocaust and the most disastrous day in Palestinian history to flaunt their support for violent Islamist extremism. To understand the extent to which the “pro-Palestine” industrial complex has mutated and created out-of-control monsters, consider how incredibly damaging and self-sabotaging the pro-Hamas rallies and actions were. They deliberately chose to brand the Palestinian cause as inseparable from the bloodshed, hostage‑taking, and fascistic jihad of 10/7. These Western pro‑Hamas demonstrators are erasing any distinction between Palestinians and a terror organization that has devastated Palestinian society far more than it ever harmed Israelis. Their behavior naturally triggers an instinctive backlash: a hardening of attitudes, a dismissal of Palestinian suffering, and a collapse of sympathy for legitimate Palestinian grievances. Compounding the problem is the statistically confirmed fact that large segments of the Arab, Muslim, and Palestinian diaspora communities have been unable or unwilling to counter this trend. Some have joined it outright, embracing the “resistance” narrative or hiding behind slogans like “this didn’t begin on October 7” to avoid confrontation with the anti‑Zionist machinery that dominates the “pro‑Palestine” space and to not be called “Zionists” or “traitors” by other members of the community. With diaspora communities paralyzed, universities compromised, and basic civic norms eroded, national‑level responses are now essential. Support for Hamas remains strong three years after October 7 and is growing more entrenched. Think ahead five or ten years: persistent economic strain, deeper ideological radicalization, and expanding networks of Islamist and far‑left extremism. What happens when those marching for Hamas begin entering governments, militaries, financial institutions, and other levers of power? What happens when already‑radicalized youth, with no off‑ramps, continue believing the West, Jews, and Zionists are their mortal enemies? Even if a tiny fraction – less than one‑tenth of one percent – turn to violence, the resulting instability could eclipse that of ISIS and al-Qaeda combined. A coordinated national strategy is overdue – not to suppress legitimate debate on Israel and Palestine, but to draw firm boundaries and stop tolerating the intolerable. This video shows just a small sample of pro-Hamas rallies in major US and European cities two days ago, on October 7."
We are still told that no one supports Hamas

Thread by @MorEdge_Insight on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Someone asked me on DM what roof tapping is. This is what it is. Israel fires a small warning shot onto the roof of a building Hamas is using. No warhead meant to bring it down. Just the knock. Get out. Then the calls, the texts, and the leaflets. Then, if the fighters are still in there, the real strike. This clip is Al Jazeera, live from Gaza, a correspondent in a press vest, and the knock lands on the tower behind her while she is on air. She ducks. The building is still standing. That’s the whole point of the tap. No other army does this. Not the Americans. Not the British. Not the Russians. Not the Arabs who spent the day firing the rockets. Hamas puts the launch sites and the commanders in the apartments, and Israel still knocks on the roof before it hits them. Then the same footage gets played as proof of a war crime. Watch it again. The warning is the explosion. And then come the leaflets. After the knock on the roof comes the paper. The whole sky fills with them. Arabic on one side, a map on the other, the block you are in, the road out, the time you have. So many millions are dropped you can film them falling and write “the whole sky is leaflets” across the clip. Phone calls. Texts. Roof taps. Then this. Israel tells the entire building to empty before it hits the men who turned the building into a launch site. Hamas tells the building to stay, films the paper coming down, and calls the warning a war crime. No other army on earth drops a sky full of instructions on the people it is about to strike. The leaflets are the proof. They just get edited out of the story."

'Palestinian Rachel Dolezal' outed as white woman of 'significant privilege and wealth' - "A woke anti-Israel teacher and activist who claimed to be part black and Arab has been dubbed the “Palestinian Rachel Dolezal” after she was outed as being a white, Jewish woman who hid her privileged identity as she led antisemitic protests.   Hannah Gann, a Philadelphia teacher, was forced to confess she was a “white woman of significant privilege and wealth” after fellow lefty activists grew suspicious of her background and confronted her... Gann has been a ringleader for anti-Israel protests based in the Philadelphia public schools, according to a local watchdog group, who branded “Philadelphia’s Leading Antisemite” on a mobile billboard parked outside the school where she worked...   “I watched her sudden transformation after she returned to Philly from the Peace Corps [in Rwanda]. She was clearly making herself look darker using makeup and fake tan, and speaking using [African American Vernacular English],” the classmate said.  In one video from December 2025, the activist teacher wears a keffiyeh and has a “blaccent,” which she did not use in per apology post...   The LARPing activist frequently referenced family in Palestine, including a grandfather who was revealed to have been born in Baltimore, the Inquirer reported, citing a document compiled by the Philly Palestine Coalition (PPC).  The PPC said that as “a teacher of predominately black youth, [Gann] has gained the trust of young people on the basis of a sense of shared oppression. She has served as a mentor to at least one young white person, who was manipulated by Hannah on the basis of a fake identity. “Her access to vulnerable young people, especially black youth, is deeply concerning, given her pattern of lying and manipulation,” the PPC added.  She also successfully solicited money by claiming she was broke because of sending cash to her relatives in Palestine, according to the PPC. In reality, much of her family still lives in Israel, according to the Inquirer.  She also grew up in remarkable privelege. Her father is a noted tax lawyer who previously worked for the Treasury Department and her $1.8 million family home is in Falls Church, Virginia — the second wealthiest suburb in the nation.  Gann also appeared to bolster claims about her race with subtle disguises – critics accused her of wearing bronzer and other makeup to appear darker, along with donning golden hoop earrings and clawed acrylic fingernails.   Gann also spoke with what stunned critics called a “blaccent” which was audible across her numerous preachy Instagram videos where she lectured about racism and imperialism, all from her supposedly personal experience.  But those affectations were gone in her apology video – no accents and no black lingo to be heard. Her hoop earrings, however remained.  And a listen back at her old videos after the truth was exposed seemed to make her fraud obvious, as she appeared to weave in and out of her affected accent — sometimes sentence by sentence.   The race-faker was outed after a showdown with members of two local activist groups — the Racial Justice Organizing Committee and Philly Educators for Palestine... Gann, who was listed in materials for a 2024 West Philly “teach-in” on “scholasticide” in Gaza as a Palestinian-American, also stunningly admitted that she even hid her pro-Palestinian activism from her family in order to keep living the lie.   “I hid the truth or outright lied about my background to everyone in my life,” she said, adding that the deception included her own family.  Gann arrogantly confessed she “allowed half-truths and obfuscations to grow into outright lies” because she “genuinely wanted to commit to the work I was doing.”... while Gann’s position was not nearly as prominent as Dolezal’s, it was shocking nevertheless in her West Philadelphia community – where she was such a prominent anti-Israel voice that her activism was documented by multiple antisemitism watchdog groups.  A box truck drove around her neighborhood in 2024 calling her: “Hannah Gann: 10th grade teacher and Philadelphia’s leading antisemite” – and it was paired with a photo of her screaming at a 2023 anti-Israel rally.  That rally was dubbed “pro-Hamas” by another antisemitism awareness group, Canary Mission, which posted footage of Gann helping lead the rally just weeks after Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,200 people in their Oct. 7 attack on Israel.   “I know every martyr’s life is precious,” Gann said the rally, evoking the term Hamas uses to describe its dead killers.  “When a Palestinian child picks of a rock or a slingshot in the face of Israeli tanks or machine guns, we owe them that same energy,” she screamed to a cheering crowd. “We owe them to take it to these streets and f–k the police until Palestine is free.”  That rally was held outside a Jewish bakery.  Other alarming acts included Gann saying a Jewish teacher — who complained about classroom banners calling for Israel’s destruction — was “lying and playing the victim,” along with her joking about firebombing Jewish-owned business.  Gann, who teaches at the Workshop School, a project-based Philadelphia School District high school, also defended Keziah Ridgeway, a fellow Philadelphia teacher the school district disciplined for private, pro-Palestinian social media posts."
Left wingers love to larp as the oppressed, because they know victim culture rewards "victimhood" and "oppression"

 Rafael Medoff | Facebook - "THE TERRORIST WAS THE VICTIM —AND THE VICTIM DIDN’T EXIST
Neria Leiter, the son of Israel’s ambassador to Washington, was severely wounded this week by a Palestinian Arab terrorist who rammed his car into the vehicle in which Leiter was a passenger. Soldiers on the scene killed the terrorist.  But here’s how the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency, Wafa, reported the news:   “Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday shot dead a Palestinian near Beit Ur al-Tahta village, west of Ramallah, according to the Health Ministry. The Ministry announced that the gun-toting Israeli soldiers opened fire at vehicle near the village, killing 29-year-old Mahmoud Mohammad Suleiman.”  While decent people around the world are praying for the recovery of the latest Jewish victim of Palestinian Arab terrorism, Palestinian Arabs are being told by their government that the terrorist actually was an innocent victim of “gun-toting” Israelis—and Neria Leiter doesn’t even exist.  In Washington yesterday, Ambassador Leiter—whose son Moshe was killed by terrorists in Gaza in 2023—spoke of Palestinian Arab terror as “the unimaginable reality we have been living with in Israel.”  Part of what makes it so unimaginable is that a regime which signed a peace agreement with Israel thirty-three years ago justifies the terrorism, erases the Jewish victims, and rewards the terrorists.  In accordance with its Pay-for-Slay policy, the PA will reward Mahmoud Suleiman’s family with an initial payment of 6,000 shekels (about $2,000), followed by a monthly payment of 1,400 shekels ($461) for the rest of their lives. That’s nearly half the average monthly salary of residents of the PA-governed areas.  Is it any wonder that so many Israelis doubt the Palestinian Authority is sincerely interested in peace?"

Palestinian journalist Rula Jebreal calls Hakeem Jeffries an ‘AIPAC monkey’ — claims she didn’t mean it in a ‘racist way’ - "Palestinian journalist Rula Jebreal took heat from black lawmakers Friday after she referred to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) as an “AIPAC monkey.”... Ali interjected to note that using the term “monkey” has “terrible racial connotations … but I think you caught yourself and said you didn’t mean it with any racial animosity.”   Jabreal attempted to clarify: “There are these three monkeys – one, I cannot hear, I cannot see, I cannot speak – it reminds me of these three monkeys.”   The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) rejected Jebreal’s defense.   “To be clear, there isn’t a non-racist way to call Leader Jeffries—a Black man—a ‘monkey’ or ‘errand boy’”...   Rep, Ritchie Torres (D-NY) similarly argued in an X post that “calling a Black man a ‘monkey’ is racist. Full stop.”  “If Wajahat Ali and Rula Jebreal were on the far right, no one on the far left would have any trouble condemning them for dehumanizing a Black man in racist terms,” the black congressman added. “The silence is deafening.”  Jebreal later issued a backhanded apology on X.   “I am disgusted and horrified that Hakeem Jeffries is taking money from AIPAC amidst Israel’s genocide in Palestine,” she wrote. “That said, a term that I used to describe him was inappropriate and offensive and should never have been used.  “I apologize unconditionally.”"

Pensioner receives police payout over ‘thought crime’ tweet - "A retired special constable has been given compensation of £20,000 after being wrongly arrested over a social media post warning about rising anti-Semitism.  Julian Foulkes, from Gillingham, Kent, was handcuffed at his home by six officers after replying to a pro-Palestinian activist on X.  Kent Police officers searched his home and commented on his “very Brexity” book collection. The force detained the 71-year-old for eight hours, interrogated and issued him with a caution after officers visited his home on Nov 2 2023.  Earlier this month, Kent Police confirmed that the caution was a mistake and had been deleted from Mr Foulkes’s record. Tim Smith, the force’s chief constable, later phoned Mr Foulkes personally to offer an apology for the “ordeal he endured”.  Now, in a letter sent to Mr Foulkes’ solicitors, the force reiterated Mr Smith’s apology for the “distress caused by the actions of his officers” .  It also confirmed Kent Police would agree to an out-of-court settlement after Mr Foulkes launched a legal challenge, supported by the Free Speech Union (FSU), against the force for wrongful arrest and detention... Police body-worn camera footage captured officers scrutinising Mr Foulkes’s collection of books by authors such as Douglas Murray, a Telegraph contributor, and issues of The Spectator, pointing to what they described as “very Brexity things”.  Mr Foulkes’s X post replied to an activist threatening to sue Suella Braverman, the home secretary at the time, for calling pro-Palestinian demonstrations in London “hate marches”.  In the post, sent two days before police visited his home, Mr Foulkes wrote: “One step away from storming Heathrow looking for Jewish arrivals…”  Mr Foulkes’s X post was referring to news reports of an anti-Semitic mob that stormed an airport in Dagestan, Russia, looking for Jewish passengers. On Nov 2, six officers arrived at Mr Foulkes’s home, armed with batons and pepper spray. He was arrested, fingerprinted, photographed and swabbed for DNA.  After his home was searched, the retired special constable was locked in a police cell for eight hours and interrogated on suspicion of malicious communications.  Fearing that further escalation could impact his ability to visit his daughter, who lives in Australia, he accepted a caution despite having committed no offence... Mr Philp also called on the Government to support his proposed amendment to Labour’s Crime and Policing Bill, and “abolish non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs)”.  The amendment will seek to block police forces keeping records on individuals who have not broken the law but are accused of expressing views or behaviour deemed offensive."

Palestine Action activists ‘attacked guards with kebab skewers’ - "Palestine Action activists armed with “large kebab skewers” attacked security guards during a break-in at an Israel-linked weapons manufacturer, a court has heard.  Qesser Zuhrah, 21, Zahra Farooque, 26, Kamran Ahmed, 29, Heba Muraisi, 31, and Liam Mullany, 34, went on trial at Woolwich Crown Court on Friday charged with criminal damage and violent disorder over the break-in in the early hours of Aug 6, 2024. The court heard that a security guard suffered a 4cm laceration to his head after being attacked at an Elbit Systems site in Filton near Bristol. The firm’s parent company is based in Israel and manufactures defence technology equipment, including drones. The five defendants are accused of being part of a “black team”, wearing black jumpsuits, whose role was to overwhelm security guards so a “red team”, wearing red jumpsuits, “could break into the factory and start smashing up property”. Opening the trial, Deanna Heer KC, the prosecutor, said: “The black team did that by threatening, intimidating and, if necessary, assaulting the guards by throwing fireworks at them, brandishing weapons such as whips and hammers and large metal kebab skewers.”  Ms Heer added: “The attack was carefully planned, not only had the premises been targeted in advance, but willing participants had been identified and a step-by-step plan of action devised and agreed upon. Everyone taking part knew what their role was and what was required.”  Footage of the break-in, shown to jurors, appeared to show black team members lighting fireworks and flares and firing them at security guards, while others cracked whips and raised kebab skewers as they swore and shouted at guards to “back off”... The prosecutor said Nigel Shaw, a security guard, had suffered the laceration to his head after being struck by members of the black team, who all wore masks... All five defendants deny charges of criminal damage and violent disorder."
Clearly, it was self-defence, like the sledgehammer. Why are Zionists so terrified of accountability?!

Police foil Yom Kippur terror plot in Manchester - "A spokesman for the CAA said: “For the second Yom Kippur running, Jews in Manchester have been targeted by terrorists.  “This year, the attack was foiled. But the attacks keep coming. That’s because essentially nothing has changed in law enforcement policy since this time last year.  “The Government has found plenty of time for signalling faux virtue on foreign policy but has yet to take the fight to Islamists and other extremists fuelling the life-and-death anti-Semitism crisis right here at home.”  The CAA said it was grateful to the authorities for their “vigilance”, but added: “The Jewish community cannot rely on that forever.”  “The authorities need to get lucky every time and the terrorists only once. Until the threat itself is confronted, British Jews will never be safe.”"
Damn Mossad!

NHS consultant shared cartoon of Netanyahu operating Holocaust oven - "An NHS consultant shared a cartoon showing Benjamin Netanyahu pushing a coffin draped in a Palestinian flag into a Nazi concentration camp oven.  Dr Mazin Fageir, a senior trauma and orthopaedic surgeon and consultant at the Royal Free Hospital, London, shared the image in May 2021 of the Israeli prime minister operating an oven of the kind used during the Holocaust... The cartoon, which accentuates the Jewish leader’s ears and nose, was reportedly drawn by Vasco Gargalo, a Portuguese cartoonist... Dr Fageir, who remains registered with the UK General Medical Council (GMC), also responded to reports of a rocket hitting a house in Israel by saying: “Great news… May all the Palestinian rockets hit their targets, amen. Indeed Israeli terrorists will be wiped out one day and Palestine will be free.”  In 2021, the consultant wrote: “The two Jewish states in the history of mankind are of similar length, time wise, 70-75 years. The end of this terrorist state is nigh, very nigh indeed.” To mark the anniversary of 9/11 in 2024, he reposted an AI image of Orthodox Jewish men celebrating in front of the Twin Towers as a plane approaches.  The graphic refers to the debunked “dancing Israelis” conspiracy theory which claims Israeli men were seen standing on top of a delivery van in New Jersey high-fiving and smiling as the attack unfolded... In June, ministers accepted recommendations from Lord Mann, the Government’s anti-Semitism adviser, and recommended measures including mandatory anti-Semitism training and restrictions on political symbols.  However, the British Medical Association voted to oppose the recommendations and seek an “immediate pause”, warning of implications for freedom of expression."

Magistrate said Jews are attacked ‘when Israel wants to divert attention’ - "A magistrate who suggested terror attacks on Jewish people in Britain were timed to divert attention from Israel has been reprimanded for serious misconduct.  Ansar Gulzar was disciplined after four of his Facebook posts were judged to have shown he “held a prejudicial view of matters involving Jewish people and Israel”.  The Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) delivered the verdict after a campaign group complained about comments Mr Gulzar had made in the aftermath of an attack at a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur in which two people died.  On Oct 2, 2025, the day of the attack, Mr Gulzar wrote: “My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of Manchester. Every life matters. Question bothering me is why there is always an attack on a Jewish person when Israel wants to divert media attention?”  The JCIO judged that the comments had the “potential to cause emotional harm and undermine public confidence in the judiciary”. UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) said the statement advanced a conspiratorial narrative by suggesting that violence against Jewish people was connected to Israel seeking to manipulate media coverage.  In another of Mr Gulzar’s posts, from June 2025, he said: “America has a long & brutal history of slave trade. Africans were American slaves between 16th & 19th century. Americans are Israeli slaves from 19th century.”  A further post on Jan 17, 2026, was judged to have presented Israel as a uniquely manipulative force responsible for destabilising countries across the Middle East... Mr Gulzar, a member of the Buckinghamshire bench of magistrates, had also breached guidance on the use of social media, which advises judges and magistrates to avoid controversial social or political comment."
Clearly, Mossad is behind all of the attacks on Jews worldwide, so to keep Jews around the world safe, Israel must be destroyed

Ed Miliband’s silence on the crimes of Palestinians speaks volumes - "“We will never be silent about injustice,” Ed Miliband declared when he outlined new measures against Israel at the Labour Party conference earlier this week. But in truth Britain’s Foreign Secretary is rather partial about the injustices he chooses to be noisy about.  When the victims are citizens of the Jewish state, Miliband suddenly becomes cautious. Faced with an attempted mass killing of passengers on a Flydubai flight to Tel Aviv, he offered this bland statement: “Deeply concerned about the incident that occurred on the Flydubai flight to Israel.”  After all, it was only an apparent attempt to murder 174 people – not construction of new homes near the Dead Sea. He displayed no such caution in his speech to Labour conference. The Foreign Secretary paid lip service by condemning Hamas before clarifying that Israel is committing ethnic cleansing and war crimes. In practice, mentioning Hamas only made the situation worse: he equated the barbaric terrorist organisation with the state of Israel that was defending itself against it. It is true that Miliband did not remain silent when the Iranians slaughtered thousands of their own people in the streets. In fact, he spoke out loudly – but against any response.  It was he who, in the British cabinet meeting on the eve of the “Epic Fury” operation, is reported to have led the opposition to allowing the United States to use British military bases for attacks on the Ayatollah’s regime. Just last week, he held a friendly meeting at the UN with the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi,. Winston Churchill was lucky not to have a foreign secretary who met Joachim von Ribbentrop and prevented Roosevelt from using bases in London to prepare for D-Day. If Miliband truly believes that he “will never be silent in the face of injustice and suffering”, how does he continue to cultivate the Palestinian Authority, whose laws forbid the sale of land to Jews?... Did Miliband himself, with his immense sensitivity to human life, ever shout on the phone at the president of the Palestinian Authority over the law that allocates roughly 7 per cent of the PA’s budget to murderers of Jews, where the more you murder, the more you receive? Did he freeze aid budgets until the Palestinian education system in the West Bank stops, in the words of former Labour MP Joan Ryan, “teaching a curriculum which incites violence and terrorism and spreads anti-Semitism”?  There is an attempt at ethnic cleansing between the Jordan River and the sea, and it is by the Palestinians against the Jews. There is a fierce debate between Israel and Britain regarding the future of Judea and Samaria. This is a legitimate political debate. There is violence by Jewish extremists against Palestinians in the West Bank. This is a despicable phenomenon, although even in the West Bank it is not the worst instance of violence. Palestinian terrorist organisations try to murder Israelis every single day, yet Miliband hardly bothers to condemn it. Labour has – in practice if not in rhetoric – consistently acted to preserve Hamas’s rule in Gaza even after the atrocities of October 7. They have done this by demanding time and again for the war to stop before the terrorist organisation has been eliminated. Now, it is doing its best to establish a terror state five minutes away from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. It is no wonder that no government formed in Israel after October’s elections, no matter how Left-wing it may be, will be able to allow the establishment of such a state. When it slaughters Jews, Miliband is sure to do his best to prevent Israel from fighting it. If someone got their news on world events exclusively from the British Foreign Secretary’s X account, they might think that the greatest evil empire in the world is Israel, followed – after a massive gap – by Russia, Iran, and perhaps North Korea. The reason for this assault on the Jewish state is political: the strengthening of the Green Party with its fiercely “anti-Zionist” platform. That is why the campaign against Israel has ratcheted up with the arrival of party conference season. Miliband will run every red light on his way to stopping the Greens. If Labour were led by the successors of Harold Wilson, Tony Blair, and Gordon Brown, it would be busy moving toward the centre and caring for the average Briton. It would be busy eradicating the anti-Semitism spreading throughout Britain, and would do all in its power to ensure the four independent “pro-Gaza” MPs elected in 2024 would be defeated at the next election.  But the current Labour Party is the heir of Jeremy Corbyn. Its current stance should require the party to apologise for expelling him from its ranks: today, there are very many Corbyns within Labour’s ranks.  Miliband is not the first Jew to joyfully point a false and accusing finger at his own people. If he comes to Jerusalem, he should watch out for heckling directed at him. If he went to Ramallah and didn’t have the security that goes with being Britain’s Foreign Secretary, as a Jew he would have to fear much worse."

Simone Rodan-Benzaquen on X - "The German Greens have officially distanced themselves from the Green Party of England and Wales over its "Zionism is Racism" resolution. translated: "This resolution contradicts the principles of the European Green Party (EGP), which is committed to a two-state solution and peaceful coexistence in Israel and Palestine. The resolution also runs counter to our convictions and core values as Bündnis 90/Die Grünen: we stand firmly for Israel's right to exist.. » The EGP brings together 39 independent Green parties.

Jewish students at UK universities sent death threats - "The messages, which have been seen by The Telegraph, include: “calm yourself f----t Jew bag”, “I am gonna murder this racist p----k” and “tell me where he lives and where I can find it, leave it to me”... He added that individuals left sticky notes on his university corridor stating: “We are watching you Israeli” and we are “coming for the Israelis”. Mr Barstys is not Israeli, but Israeli students live on his corridor... Another testimony in the report was an incident at the University of Birmingham, where a kippah-wearing student and his housemates were reportedly followed home by four university-aged men.  The men allegedly climbed onto the railings outside his house and started shrieking: “Dirty Jews” and “Jews live here” to passers-by walking down the residential student hotspot of Selly Oak, according to the report... Bracha Jacobs, a Jewish student, claimed anti-Semitism had become normalised among students and “religious students expect to be heckled, harassed, and honked at in the street” while walking to and from campus”. She said Jewish students had been stopped and asked whether they “had any diamonds”, while walking home from a community Friday night dinner.  Jewish students have also been told to “go back to America,” “go back to Poland,” and “go back to Auschwitz” and have been identified by their so-called “Jewish noses” while out at bars and nightclubs in the city.  Another was told by a lecturer that their name was peculiar and “very Jewish”. They even suggested the student shorten it... At City St George’s, footage has emerged showing a student chanting in Arabic “Al Yahud Bara Bara” which translates to “Jew, get out! Get out!”"
It's all their fault for being "Zionists"!

Queen Bee on X - "Interesting history lesson, Mayor. You left out one rather awkward detail:  Oswald Mosley was not some creature who appeared fully formed from the "political right". He had been a Labour MP, sat on Labour’s NEC and was a member of the Fabian Society before founding the British Union of Fascists.  Even George Bernard Shaw, one of the great Fabian luminaries, was still publicly praising Mosley in 1932, after the BUF had been founded.  Which does rather spoil the neat little morality tale in which fascism belonged exclusively to “the other side”.  History is considerably more inconvenient than a mayoral tweet.  We see you."

Captain Allen on X - "Israel was never “given” to the Jews. And the Jews certainly never “stole” it.  They were already there. A continuous presence in Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed, and Tiberias ran through the Roman expulsions and the Crusader and Arab massacres. And in every century, some of the Jews who had been driven out came back.   Zionism did not invent that return. It accelerated it once pogroms in Europe and the Arab world made staying impossible and the United States shut its doors in 1924.  Centuries of neglect under Ottoman rule left the Land mostly arid desert and malaria swamps while being sparsely populated. Jews legally bought large tracts at premium prices from absentee Arab landlords in Beirut, Damascus, and Cairo. The rest was state land that passed from the collapsed Ottoman Empire to the British Mandate.  That Mandate was conferred at San Remo in 1920 and approved by the League of Nations in 1922 as a reconstitution of the Jewish national home and attached a duty to the British to facilitate immigration and close settlement. The 1939 White Paper broke it, and shut the gate on Jewish refugees in the years they were being slaughtered by Nazi bullets and gas in Europe.  The offers of a split came from everyone except the Arab leadership. The Zionist Congress accepted the Peel partition in 1937. The Jewish Agency accepted the UN partition in 1947. The Arab Higher Committee rejected both, and five Arab armies invaded in May 1948 after Israel declared independence and asked the Arabs who stayed to remain as citizens.   Arab Secretary General Azzam Pasha said the war against the Jews would be one of “extermination.”  The country that survived that war was not handed over in a ceremony and not taken from an empty map. It was defended by the people the international agreement had already named, after the other side chose a war over a border."

 If you have wondered why @MetPoliceUK ’s policing of antisemitism and support for terror has been so poor, here is why.  As we have seen at recent protests, anti-Israel demonstrators are now freely showing their support for Hizballah, an antisemitic Iranian proxy that is proscribed as a terrorist organisation under British law.  With the head of MI5 warning about the significant risk posed to the UK by Iranian-backed groups, it has never been more urgent that police understand the very real threat that support for Hizballah and other Islamist terror groups poses to us all.  Here is newly-emerged jaw-dropping footage from London’s Trafalgar Square on 28th September, where a vigil for Hizballah’s leader was taking place in broad daylight.  The video shows what happened when someone tried to inform the police that Hizballah is a terrorist organisation.  How is the Metropolitan Police supposed to protect us when they don’t actually educate their officers on the law?  While these police officers did not conduct themselves satisfactorily, we are posting this video principally because of what it says about the training and priorities of the Metropolitan Police as an institution, and we have therefore chosen to blur their faces."

A Salient Example of Hajj Amin el-Husseini’s Canonical Islamic Jew-Hatred—Introduction, Text, and Commentary (5/6)

Haggai Ben-Shammai‘s 1988 essay "Jew Hatred in the Islamic Tradition and Koranic Exegesis" 91 rivets on two key examples of Jew hatred in the Koran (and Koranic exegesis)—the "curse against the Jews" (in Koran 2:61, repeated elsewhere), and Koranic verses (most notably, 5:82) rationalizing why Jews were to be held in greater contempt than Christians. Ben-Shammai highlights the centrality of the Jews‘ "abasement and humiliation," and being "laden with God‘s anger" in the corpus of Muslim exegetic literature on Qur‘an 2:61, including the hadith and Koranic commentaries. Despite the literal reference of 2:61 to the Israelites in the wilderness during their exodus from Egypt, he notes,

to all of the Muslim exegetes, without exception, it was absolutely clear that the reference was to the Jews of their day. The Arabic word translated as "pitched upon them" also means, literally, that the "abasement and poverty" were decreed for them forever. The "abasement" is the payment of the poll tax [jizya] and the humiliating ceremony involved. As for the "poverty," this insured their remaining impoverished forever. There are traditions which attribute this interpretation to Muhammad himself.

The terrifying rage decreed upon the Jews forever is connected in the hadith and exegeses to Koran 1:7, where Muslims ask Allah to guide them rightly, not in the path of those who provoke and must bear His wrath. This verse is in turn linked to Koranic verses 5:60 and 5:78, which describe the Jews‘ transformation into apes and swine (5:60), having been "cursed by the tongue of David, and Jesus, Mary‘s son" (5:78). Ben-Shammai explains the primary reason for this "fearful decree," which resulted in the Jews being "so terribly cursed":

[F]rom time immemorial the Jews rejected God‘s signs, the wonders performed by the prophets. They did not accept the prophecy of Jesus whom the Koran counts among the prophets. But this is all part of the Jews‘ nature: they are by their very nature deceitful and treacherous.

Indeed according to the sira of both Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Sa‘d, just before subduing the Medinan Jewish tribe Banu Qurayza, and orchestrating the mass execution of their adult males, Muhammad himself invoked Koran 5:60, addressing these Jews, with hateful disparagement, as "You brothers of monkeys" (Ibn Sa‘d‘s account adds, "and pigs"). Muhammad also repeats the Koranic curse (of verse 5:78) upon the Jews in a canonical hadith, "He [Muhammad] then recited the verse [5:78]: '...curses were pronounced on those among the children of Israel who rejected Faith, by the tongue of David and of Jesus the son of Mary‘."

Although the Jews initially longed for Muhammad to triumph over the pagan Arabs, "Would that Allah send this prophet of whom our Book says that his coming is assured" (according to a tradition cited by Ben-Shammai), realizing that Muhammad was not one of them, Ben-Shammai observes, quoting from Koran 5:64,

they then denied him out of jealousy of the Arabs, though they knew in truth he is the prophet. Furthermore, this Jewish trait brought them to grave heresy. They thought that they would succeed not only in leading humankind astray but also in fooling God . . . (5:64). "The Jews have said, God‘s hand is tied. . . . As often as they light a fire for war, God will extinguish it." Exegetes cite traditions which prove that the Jews always hated the true prophets and put them to death. Therefore they always failed in their wars and their Temple was destroyed time and again.

Ben-Shammai‘s analysis of Koran 5:82 links this verse to Koran 3:54-56, and in turn to the tradition, "The Christians are to be above the Jews until the day of Judgment, for there is no land where the Christians are not above the Jews, neither in the east nor the west. The Jews are degraded in all the lands."...

Ben-Shammai, arguing for prolonged historical continuity, "As has been stated, this tradition (i.e., of more intense Muslim-Jewish hatred) has remained alive to this very day," refers to the travelogue accounts of Edward William Lane, which record Lane‘s observations of Egyptian society, originally published in 1835. But Ben-Shammai fails to discuss a remarkable essay by the polymath Arabic writer al-Jahiz (d. 869), composed a millennium earlier, which bolsters his argument by illustrating the anti-Jewish attitudes already prevalent within an important early (i.e., mid-9th century), Islamic society—the seat of the Abbasid-Baghdadian Caliphate.

Al-Jahiz‘s essay—an anti-Christian polemic believed to have been commissioned by the Abbasid caliph al-Mutawakkil (d. 861), who inaugurated a literary campaign against the Christians L59— explores the reasons why the Muslim masses prefer the Christians to the Jews...

Al-Jahiz offers two primary explanations for this abiding hostility of the Muslim rank and file toward the Jews. First was the "rancorous" relationship between the early Muslim community, exiles from Mecca, and their Jewish neighbors in Medina:

When the [Muslim] Emigrants [from Mecca] became the neighbors of the Jews [in Medina] . . .the Jews began to envy the Muslims the blessings of their new faith, and the union which resulted after dissension. They proceeded to undermine the belief of our [i.e., the Muslim] masses, and to lead them astray. They aided our enemies and those envious of us. From mere misleading speech and stinging words they plunged into an open declaration of enmity, so that the Muslims mobilized their forces, exerting themselves morally and materially to banish the Jews and destroy them. Their strife became long-drawn and widespread, so that it worked itself up into a rage, and created yet greater animosity and more intensified rancor. The Christians, however, because of their remoteness from Mecca and Medina, did not have to put up with religious controversies, and did not have occasion to stir up trouble, and be involved in war. That was the first cause of our dislike of the Jews, and our partiality toward the Christians.

However, al-Jahiz then identifies as "the most potent cause" of this particular animus toward the Jews, Koran 5:82, and its interpretation by the contemporary (i.e., mid-ninth-century) Muslim masses. It is also worth noting that al-Jahiz (described as a "skeptic," who harbored "indifferent views toward religion in general") included these sociological observations that reveal the interface between Islamic religious and indigenous (and indigenous ethnic/racial discriminatory attitudes toward) Jews expressed a millennium before any secular Western European antisemitic ideologies would be exported to the Muslim Near East:

Our people [the Muslims] observing thus the occupations of the Jews and the Christians concluded that the religion of the Jews must compare unfavorably as do their professions, and that their unbelief must be the foulest of all, since they are the filthiest of all nations. Why the Christians, ugly as they are, are physically less repulsive than the Jews may be explained by the fact that the Jews, by not intermarrying, have intensified the offensiveness of their features. Exotic elements have not mingled with them; neither have males of alien races had intercourse with their women, nor have their men cohabited with females of a foreign stock. The Jewish race therefore has been denied high mental qualities, sound physique, and superior lactation. The same results obtain when horses, camels, donkeys, and pigeons are inbred.

Al-Jahiz‘s contention that the Muslims harbored greater enmity toward the Jews than the Christians is supported by the independent observations of another Arab author active during the beginning of the ninth century in Iraq, the Sufi theologian al-Harith al-Muhasibi (d. 857). He maintained that because the Jews stubbornly denied Muhammad‘s truth, they were "in the eyes of the Muslims worse than the Christians."

One thousand years later, Lane‘s testimony on the difference between the attitude of Egyptian Muslims toward the Jews and the Christians again highlights the influence of Koran 5:82:

They [the Jews] are held in the utmost contempt and abhorrence by the Muslims in general, and they are said to bear a more inveterate hatred than any other people to the Muslims and the Muslim religion. It is said, in the Koran [quoting 5:82] "Thou shalt surely find the most violent all men to those who have believed to be the Jews . . . "

Lane further notes:

It is a common saying among the Muslims in this country, "Such one hates me with the hate of the Jews." We cannot wonder, then, that the Jews are detested far more than are the Christians. Not long ago, they used often to be jostled in the streets of Cairo, and sometimes beaten for merely passing on the right hand of a Muslim. At present, they are less oppressed: but still they scarcely ever dare to utter a word of abuse when reviled or beaten unjustly by the meanest Arab or Turk; for many a Jew has been put to death upon a false and malicious accusation of uttering disrespectful words against the Koran or the Prophet. It is common to hear an Arab abuse his jaded ass, and, after applying to him various opprobrious epithets, end by calling the beast a Jew.

@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."

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."

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

In Guelph, a Jewish place of worship near that city's university has been vandalized with antisemitic graffiti twice this year."

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!

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
