Incredibly, @FranceskAlbs really said this👇

"The former bodyguard of Ismail Haniyeh, leader of Hamas, was given asylum and citizenship in the UK — then “plotted” huge foiled terror attack targeting Jews in Europe last year" thetimes.com/uk/crime/articl…

Make it make sense; why didn’t Cairo also speak to Doha and here them to tell the Hamas leadership not to go forward with an attack that would plunge the whole region into a huge war? Why didn’t western intelligence pick up on this warning? Cairo must have known that a big attack would create disaster in Gaza and potentially affect the Sinai. Why not make sure it didn’t happen?

If Macklemore really wants to show solidarity with Palestinians he should perform at this 22,000 capacity venue in the Palestinian city Rawabi, in the West Bank, which I’ve visited twice (this is my photo). It’s the biggest open air venue of its sort in the Middle East and hosts international acts. And since he’s such a big advocate for gay people he should definitely sing “Same Love”. He could even replicate his 2014 Grammy’s performance when a bunch of same sex couples got married.

New Macklemore single just dropped. All proceeds to UNRWA to pay for the salaries of the October 7 murderers on their books and fund textbooks to indoctrinate the next generation to aspire to the same.

As I’ve noted before, I didn’t fully get this until Oct 7. When Jews are attacked, not only are they considered uniquely undeserving of sympathy, but it excites bloodlust and emboldens more hate and attacks. Why? Because if you think of yourself as not being racist as most people like to do - even more so if your identity revolves around being an “anti-racist” - then to deal with the cognitive dissonance of justifying or celebrating attacks on Jews, and be able to continue deluding yourself that you’re a righteous person lording it over those who are not, you have to convince yourself the Jews are not actually victims, that attacking them is a morally incumbent act and that they had it coming. And in order to believe that, you have to tell yourself the Jews are evil. The reasons change throughout history - they’re Christ-killers, well-poisoners, baby-killers, race-contaminators, communists, capitalists, settler-colonialists etc but whatever the haters tell themselves to feel good about attacking Jews and that this time they’re in the right side of history, makes them hate Jews more and spurs them on. That’s why John Minto said on Oct 7 the Hamas attacks were understandable and was organising an anti-Israel rally 2 days later. And that’s why I say I don’t know where and how all this ends. Because it seems to be this self-perpetuating ratcheting spiral.

#FreeIran. This courageous woman deserves western support. But all you hear is crickets from progressives on any Islam-based injustice or misogyny. They are not serious people.

The truth about the Palestinian “Nakba,” by the numbers: The popular picture of the Nakba is hundreds of thousands of innocent people driven far from their homeland, never to return. The actual 1948 numbers tell a more complicated story for both Palestinians and Jews. On the eve of the war, Mandatory Palestine had roughly 1.2–1.3 million Arabs and 600,000–650,000 Jews. After the fighting: • Approximately 150,000–160,000 Palestinians remained inside the 1949 armistice lines of the new State of Israel and later received Israeli citizenship (or residency that converted to citizenship). • Roughly 400,000–460,000 Arabs already living in the West Bank and about 80,000 already living in the Gaza Strip remained in their original homes. These areas lay outside the Israeli armistice lines and came under Jordanian and Egyptian control. • Roughly 270,000–280,000 who left what became Israel went to the West Bank. • Roughly 160,000–200,000 who left what became Israel went to the Gaza Strip. Most of those who left what became Israel therefore stayed inside historic Palestine. The farthest plausible relocation from a depopulated village in what became Israel to Gaza or the West Bank was only 120–140 miles. Those who left historic Palestine entirely (beyond Israel + West Bank + Gaza) numbered on the order of 250,000–300,000. Principal destinations were Lebanon (~100,000), Syria (~75,000–90,000), and Transjordan/East Bank (~70,000–100,000), plus smaller numbers in Egypt and Iraq. This is a local relocation - still within the surrounding Levant area, many of which, their ancestors came from. Jews were displaced too. Historians estimate 60,000–70,000 Jews became internally displaced within the territory that became Israel during the 1948 war (Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City, Gush Etzion, and other isolated communities). A much larger Jewish displacement followed. Rising hostility, riots, asset seizures, and official policies after the war led 800,000–850,000 Jews to leave or be expelled from Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Syria, and elsewhere. The majority went to Israel, where they were granted citizenship and absorbed. Two refugee populations emerged from the same war. One remained registered as refugees for generations. The other was absorbed by the new state that received them. The distances, destinations, and outcomes were not the same as the simplified picture often presented. And the distorted narrative does more harm towards the cause of peace than good.

Unlike @AbdulElSayed, I’m an Arab who is actually from Israel. My family lived through the establishment of the state of Israel and what he calls the “Nakba.” The Holocaust was nothing like the events of the “Nakba” where my grandfather was told to flee by Arab leaders (not Jews) so the Arabs could “defeat the Jews.” He refused, and all the Arab residents who stayed were given citizenship. Those who fled, a large number by choice, were not permitted to return, as often happens in war. That is a catastrophe, a “nakba” of their own making. But there was no choice in the Holocaust, there was no citizenship for those who stayed. You are intentionally comparing a war and a genocide. They are not the same. Your vile attempt to co-opt the largest massacre of the Jewish people in history, the systematic murder of six million people simply because they were Jews, for your own dystopian pro-terror Muslim Brotherhood agenda is despicable. I see through you Abdul. You may be able to fool Western Americans with your garbage, but we know who you really are. یا کذاب ابن کذاب

#Williamsburg in #Brooklyn is over. Anyone yearning to move there for its cool is a fool. @Hermes_Paris @Hermes galeriemagazine.com/hermes-u…

Within decades the Holocaust will become just a moment in history and denial will most likely be above 50% of the worldwide population. It’s not going to get better but worse.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

yes this is just a staggering lie

All these stories about warnings. How come US intel didn’t pick up on this or other intel? This needs to be a key question of any reporter looking into this How come it wasn’t shared or known by western intelligence Go and look Come and see

Funny how @KingAbdullahII failed to mention how Jordan illegally occupied the West Bank from 1948-1967, formally annexed it in 1950, and ethnically cleansed the territory of Jews in the Old City of Jerusalem. In all that time, they never created a Palestinian state. Then, in 1988, King Hussein, his father, stripped West Bank Palestinian residents of Jordanian citizenship overnight, another illegal move. Now King Abdullah comes to the UN lectures about “de facto annexation” and international law? King Abdullah doesn’t want you to know that that reason they didn’t declare a Palestinian state (and the reason Egypt didn’t either when they controlled Gaza), is because there was never a national identity known as “Palestinian” in the Arab world. This concept only developed with the PLO and Yasser Arafat in the 1960s.

Dear @RoKhanna and everyone echoing him, Marwan Barghouti was convicted in an Israeli civilian court of five murders in three terrorist attacks, including the killing of a Greek Orthodox monk, as well as attempted murder and membership in a terrorist organization. He rejected the court’s jurisdiction and refused to mount a legal defense. The judges nevertheless acquitted him of 21 other murders for lack of sufficient evidence. He was sentenced to five life terms plus 40 years. He will rot in prison until his dying day, and then be sent to hell where he belongs. Thank you for listening to my TED Talk.

It is shocking … it doesn’t matter whether your CNN or Fox news, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a republican or democrat, this is really important. …This is Robert Malley, Biden's special envoy on Iran, meeting with Masoud Pezeshkian, the so-called president of the Islamic Republic. Malley is not a journalist. Yes, he is a private citizen today, but he is also a former U.S. government official. He should have more sense than to sit down with officials whose regime sent assassins to kill an American citizen on American soil. The FBI arrested them. All three attempts on my life happened during the Biden administration, while Malley was the envoy. He should know better. Malley has a soft for Islamist regimes. During Woman Life Freedom, right after both men and women were getting shot in the streets, Malley reduced the anti-regime protests to: people of Iran want «respect and reform» from the regime. It created a huge outrage. I launched a petition calling on him to resign because of his fondness for the Islamic Republic. In just one day, the petition received more than 100,000 signatures. The State Department reached out and asked me to take down the petition. I didn't. It's still there, and I paid a huge price for it. Iranians continue to reject this regime. In January the regime murdered thousands of protesters over a weekend. I find it hard to believe Malley can be so insensitive to the plight of Iranians

Before calling for Marwan Barghouti's release, @RoKhanna should watch this footage to know why Marwan is serving five life sentences. Tel Aviv. March 5, 2002. It's shortly after 2 AM. The Seafood Market restaurant is still packed for "Mediterranean Night." Irit Rahamim is there with her friends celebrating her bachelorette party. She's supposed to get married the next day. Then Ibrahim Hassouna arrives, armed with an M16 assault rifle, hand grenades and a knife. He opens fire from a pedestrian bridge overlooking the crowded restaurants, then moves toward the Seafood Market, continuing to shoot. He throws two grenades toward people fleeing the restaurant, but neither explodes. He enters the restaurant and continues shooting and stabbing people. Inside, people are screaming and diving under tables. An Israeli American eyewitness later describes men and women clinging to each other "for dear life." Rahamim calls her fiancé, believing she's about to die and will never see him again. One of the patrons, William Hazan, is stabbed in the back. He manages to pull out his gun and fires at the attacker. Hazan later tells Israel Radio that he shot and killed him, although police also report confronting and shooting the gunman. The footage you're watching shows the aftermath. Shattered restaurant windows. Bodies lying outside, some covered in plastic sheets. A wounded person being rushed away on a stretcher. Ambulances leaving the scene while armed police search the area for additional attackers. Three people were murdered. Yosef Habi, 52. Eli Dahan, 53. Salim Barakat, 33, a Druze Israeli police officer who confronted the attacker. Another 31 people were wounded. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, affiliated with Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the massacre. An Israeli civilian court convicted Marwan Barghouti for his role in all three murders. Evidence presented during his trial indicated that he had approved the operation but requested that it take place in the West Bank rather than inside Israel. And the Seafood Market terror attack accounted for only three of his five murder convictions. Yoela Chen was a 45 year old mother of two. In January 2002, she was traveling to a family wedding when gunmen opened fire near Givat Ze'ev, killing her and wounding her aunt. Barghouti was also convicted for his role in her murder. Father Georgios Tsibouktzakis was a Greek Orthodox monk from St. George's Monastery. In June 2001, he was shot dead while driving on the Jerusalem to Ma'ale Adumim road. Barghouti was convicted for his role in that murder too. Yosef Habi. Eli Dahan. Salim Barakat. Yoela Chen. Father Georgios Tsibouktzakis. Five people with names, families and lives that ended in attacks for which Marwan Barghouti was convicted. Five murder convictions. Five life sentences, plus another 40 years. Today, Congressman Ro Khanna called for Marwan Barghouti's release. Continued below 👇 1/2

This has to be the dumbest, most disingenuous pro-Hamas talking point of them all.
