And after Clinton - Olmert offered a Palestinian state in 2008, 93.7 % of the West Bank with land swaps. Abbas didn’t accept it. Pals have been always very clear- they don’t want any deal but ‘from the river to the sea’. We just need to listen.

Oh how stunning and brave to walk out on the Israeli PM. 🙄 National leaders that delegates chose NOT to walk out on at this week's UN General Assembly: Masoud Pezeshkian, President of Iran - where 40,000 innocent civilian protesters were slaughtered in the street Ahmed al-Sharaa, President of Syria - an Islamist terrorist who fought with Al Qaeda in Iraq Emmerson Mnangagwa, President of Zimbabwe - accused of mass atrocities under Mugabe, including deaths of thousands in the 1980s I wonder what it is about the Israeli PM that bothers them so much... 🤷🏻‍♀️

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.

Next season preview on @netflix :

Al-Nablus University in the West Bank sets up an exhibition celebrating the 9 August bombing of a Sbarro restaurant in Israel, in which 16 civilians were killed. The Palestinian Authority makes the effort to build a mock Sbarro storefront and include props of mutilated body parts, to trumpet the perceived success of Palestinian resistance against Israel. Visitors are required to walk over Israeli and American flags to enter and leave the exhibition.

It is particularly amusing to hear @KingAbdullahII of Jordan speak so passionately about international law and the rights of Palestinians in Judea and Samaria. In July 1988, on the orders of his father, King Hussein, Jordan collectively and unilaterally revoked the citizenship and rights of Palestinians living in Judea and Samaria - in complete violation of international law. Overnight, Palestinians in Judea and Samaria lost the right to vote or run for the Jordanian parliament, work in the Jordanian civil service, or receive funding from the Hashemite Kingdom. Their Jordanian passports were confiscated or not renewed. They were classified as foreign nationals. Their entry into Jordan and their ability to remain there were restricted. Tell us more about international law.

“People were moving towards us” and at the same time - “I was threatened as I was ALONE and vulnerable”. Should the logical thinking be a prerequisite for consulting? Or can it be ‘switched-off’ when FAFO strikes?

Shame on you @TheEconomist Spewing anti-Israeli script for 3 years, and now attacking the tv series that shows the horrors and the heartbreak on that day.

"I think, after liberation, we will form our Zionist hunting squads. And we will be making people pay for their crimes. But after they're off our land." Not sure this Laith Marouf guy is a big fan of peaceful coexistence.

The most striking chart I’ve seen in a while

@CNN any reaction on this? You’ve been amplifying Hamas script for 3 years - as confirmed by ‘journalist’ you have cited. I hope your editors involved in this blatant incitement will be prosecuted.

This is the question that has a magic effect when arguing with liberal friends - they shut up and start to search frantically on their phones… A good follow up - ‘why Egypt didn’t open the border in 2023 for women &children’- with video of the fortified border…

Zohran took a pic smiling with a guy who personally filmed the torture of Israeli civilian hostages on October 7, very cool!

Remember when @DavidLammy was scolding Israel for shuttering Al Jazeera's offices? Well, yeah. Egg on the face again for @UKLabour.

There is another story of October 7 that deserves to be told: what ordinary Israelis did when their country was attacked. Thousands dropped everything. Israelis abroad rushed home, many to report for reserve duty. Civilians drove south into danger to rescue strangers. Within hours, volunteers created war rooms: locating the missing, evacuating families, housing the displaced, delivering food and equipment, helping wounded soldiers and supporting families who had lost everything. Restaurants became kitchens. Hotels became homes. Volunteers helped farmers. Tech workers built systems connecting those who needed help with those who could provide it. Hundreds of thousands volunteered. October 7 exposed Israelis to unimaginable horror. But it also revealed the extraordinary resilience of Israeli society and its deep sense of mutual responsibility. When systems failed, ordinary people stepped in. When strangers needed help, strangers came. They didn’t wait to be told what to do. They simply did what was needed. #October7Heroes

I can't begin to describe how genius Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister were. At the time Yes Minister was broadcast I often watched it at the home of someone who was at the level of Sir Humphrey in one of the ministries. He always confirmed its accuracy. Later I worked as a consultant at the highest levels of the civil service and it was attitudes toward Israel and Jews I experienced, only at the very top, which formed part of my decision to move my family to Israel.

Azaiza, “journalist” on UNRWA payroll, admits spreading Hamas script & no siege before October 7: "Yes. The last two years, it wasn't really a siege. Something eased." "The country's standard improved. A lot of new projects opened. Travel got easier.“ "Things eased a bit. The country moved a bit."

Israel: 0.01% of the Earth’s land. Jews: 0.19% of the Earth’s people. In 2024, 1 of every 26 articles on Earth was about Israel. That ratio is a warped fixation.

5 years ago I spoke with Jewish NHS doctor at the social event. When conversation turned to Judaism and Israel, he proclaimed in a very pompous manner: “first I identify as a doctor, next I identify as a man, next I identify as a human, and only after that I identify as a Jew”. I wonder how he is being treated right now in antisemitic NHS - does his ‘low-priority Judaism’ makes him feel better protected?

Translation: Lady Gaga walks on earth, enjoying the sunlight and breathing air. 🚨The earth, sun and air also exist in Israel. Don’t be like Lady Gaga.

Anyone surprised the Guardian behind this blood libel is not bothered by anonymous testimonies and lack of proof? Their editors should be prosecuted for defamation too. “Confronting the director, Drucker lambasted a method relying solely on 24 unverifiable anonymous testimonies: "You bring no proof. We have neither their names nor their units, no way to know if they were exposed to the facts. There's nothing concrete to verify or refute your claims."
