From a Jew whose mother was born in a concentration camp —Tamas Vajda Let’s just say it plainly: I’m not here to comfort your conscience. I’m not here to decorate your moral decay with kosher sprinkles. And I’m certainly not here to apologize for existing. You’ve made your position clear. You want dead Jews or, at the very least, silent ones. Quiet ones. Ones that don’t raise their voices, don’t raise their fists, don’t raise their flags. We tried that. We tried being meek, compliant, grateful. We lit candles in basements. We whispered prayers behind closed doors. We hid our children. We swallowed humiliation like bread and called it survival. And still - you hunted us. You gassed our parents. You mocked our pain. You flattened our homes, stole our names, and then asked us to sign guestbooks at our own memorials. Now you want us to go back to that? You, the “enlightened” world, who can’t decide what a woman is but has bold opinions about Jewish self-defense. You, who cries for the “Palestinian cause” while your cities crumble and your values rot, drunk on identity politics and TikTok revolutions. You, who funds terrorists with one hand and lectures us about “restraint” with the other. How generous of you to let us die with dignity. Except this time - we won’t. We’ve had our fill of your tolerance theater. We’re full up on your performative outrage, your fake tears, your fetish for “Jewish trauma” -as long as it’s historical, sanitized, and buried six feet under. Well, sorry to disappoint. We’re alive. And we’re not in the mood to die quietly. Yes, we are angry - incandescently angry. But don’t mistake that for hatred. Because here’s the part you always miss: We still light candles. We still sing on Shabbat. We still name our children after those who never had graves. We still plant trees. We still build schools. We still write poems, cook for strangers, and cry when rockets fall. We haven’t forgotten how to love. We just learned how to survive with a spine. The world taught us brutality. But we answered with resilience. The world tried to strip us of our humanity - and we responded by becoming guardians of it. Yes, we carry rifles. We also carry stretchers. Yes, we fight wars. We also offer aid -even to those whose leaders pray for our destruction. And every time you paint us as monsters, we keep showing up with bandages. We are not the problem. We are the proof. The proof that you can endure every empire, every exile, every pogrom, every gas chamber - and still choose life. But don’t confuse that choice with passivity. We’re not your punching bag. We’re not your scapegoat. We’re not your lesson in historical guilt, your moral mascot, or your diversity hire. We are a people who’ve buried enough children. And we are done listening to sermons from those who never sent theirs to war. You ask, “Why are Jews so angry?” Because we know the price of silence. Because we’ve read the footnotes of your history books -the parts you leave out. Because every time we dare to live with pride, you paint it as provocation. Because you chant “From the river to the sea,” and pretend it’s poetry, not a death sentence. Because we come back from the ashes - and that offends you more than our deaths ever did. So no -we won’t go back into your moral cage. We’ll build. We’ll sing. We’ll protect. We’ll celebrate life even when surrounded by those who worship death. And if that makes you uncomfortable? Good. Maybe you’ll finally pay attention. Because we’re not going anywhere. Not for your comfort. Not for your approval. But for our children. For our future. For our eternity. Am Yisrael Chai

It's hard to beat Israeli technology! TEL AVIV, Israel - The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners. It's an armoured booth you step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on your person. Israel sees this as a win-win situation for everyone, with none of this crap about racial profiling. It will also eliminate the costs of long and expensive trials. You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter, an announcement: "Attention to all standby passengers, El Al is pleased to announce a seat available on flight 670 to London. Shalom!

I’ve seen some posts from folks upset that palestinians weren’t allowed to vote in Israel’s elections. Well, no, they weren’t. Canadians are not allowed to vote in US elections, either. Gazans have their own elections, apparently every 20 years or more.

Here’s why they’re recommending that Americans stockpile 90 days’ worth of food, water, and essential supplies. Don't panic but pay attention! ‼️

One of the best @yohaysponder clips I’ve seen in a while.

Imagine you are a dental hygienist and live in Sweden.. You are employed to help “migrant children” with their dental issues. As part of your job you examine the wisdom teeth development of the kids and you notice that 80% of those “kids” have fully formed wisdom teeth, implying they are not kids at all but adults older than the age of 18. You tell the Swedish Migration Agency and they advise you to put it in writing. When you send exact details, with examples of specific patients you are suspended, investigated and fired for disclosing private information relating to patients. This happened to Bernt Herlitz in 2017. When he appealed the unfair dismissal he ultimately lost and was fined about $50,000. He and his family faced financial hardship and almost lost their home, until some generous benefactors raised money for him. Bernt remains unemployed today, despite staff shortages for dentists in his area in Gotland. At the time, Sweden scoffed at the tests and claimed they were “discriminatory” but since then they have quietly brought in mass dental testing, for those whose age is in doubt, by the National Board of Forensic Medicine. Bernt deserves a medal. Not vilification and unemployment.

The rage here isnt about Palestinians own government not holding elections. Its anger that they can't vote in another country's elections. Palestinianism is an exception to every rule. The most entitled, deluded ideology ever invented.

Am Yisrael Chai Vekayam! Keith Siegel, held 484 days hostage by monsters in Gaza, is home, holding his first granddaughter. Mazal Tov! This is what winning looks like!

Apparently, your lies and lunatic statements know no borders, even when you can no longer cross them yourself. We used to endure your lies in the UN halls in New York. After your U.S. visa was revoked, yesterday we had to hear them over Zoom. And we’re not the only ones fed up. Many here at the UN are tired of the hatred and incitement you spread. History remembers those who chose to stand with murderers and rapists.

This is the truth -

My timeline since yesterday:

I know you’re all busy with the election but while reading research for my paper I stumbled on something that proved a profound point. I was reading a paper entitled “Genetic and Phylogenetic evidence for Jewish Holocaust victims at the Sobibor death camp” Archaeologists had discovered 12 intact skeletons. Whereas at Sobibor all other bodies had been burned these were whole. Detailed genetic tests were done and of the 12, one, a man designated S7 was listed. He was a Jewish man with the Ashkenazi haplogroup X2b7. At some point in time, I, a non Jewish woman in England shared a female ancestor with this Holocaust victim. It wouldn’t be noteworthy but haplogroup X2b is extremely rare in Europe. It is more widespread in the Near East and It accounts for 25% of Druze in Israel where this haplogroup is thought by scientists to have been founded. There was a woman in the region who passed on this genetic information and through mutations and migrations I ended up thousands of years later here and that man ended up a victim of atrocity. This to me anyway, shows the vagaries of human decisions and movements over the eons but also the nonsensical nature of hatred. Me and this man originate from the same female ancestor but he was murdered as a Jew and at the same time around 1942 my grandmother was working in the WLA and munitions factories helping the fight against Hitler. It struck me as profoundly and nonsensically human that from that same female ancestor thousands of years ago in what would become Israel two distinct lines would emerge. One accepted and one hated. How sad we are as a species. Sadder still is that the X2b7 haplogroup is now so rare as to be considered erased in Northern Europe.

I have to leave Australia so I can actually run a start-up exclusively for women while men who claim to be women have BREASTFEEDING PROTECTIONS IN LAW🤬 The current government, including representatives of the attorney-general, have no plans to fix it. They’re happy to admit it:

LGBTQ activist has a deer-in-headlights moment when Piers Morgan asks her to explain what “non-binary” actually means. When she can’t, she calls it “uncomfortably personal.” Then Riley Gaines finishes her off. PIERS MORGAN: “I just want to ask, what do you mean by non-binary?” ACTIVIST: “Um when I say I’m non-binary, I’m expressing my identity in a way that I have the right to do.” PIERS MORGAN: “What does that mean? There’s only one of you.” ACTIVIST: “Actually, they/them has been the collective they has been used to refer to individual people for centuries and still is. So, um, I mean, if you don’t understand basic grammar, that’s on you.” PIERS MORGAN: “I’ve got to be honest with you, I don’t understand the concept of what non-binary means… There’s one of you sitting here, and you look to me female. You’re a female?” ACTIVIST: “If you don’t understand what non-binary means…” PIERS MORGAN: “Are you a female?” ACTIVIST: “…then I’m not sure you’re in a position to lead a debate…” PIERS MORGAN: “But if you can’t explain it in simple language, then what’s the point?” ACTIVIST: “I don’t think that I’m here to discuss the contents of my identity.” PIERS MORGAN: “You raised this whole thing. I didn’t mention anything about what you were. You did.” ACTIVIST: “This has really become uncomfortably personal.” PIERS MORGAN: “Has it? You said it, not me…” That’s when Riley Gaines dropped the hammer. RILEY GAINES: “If you think this is uncomfortably personal, try undressing in a locker room with a 6’4 naked man.”

"Why can't Palestinians vote in Israeli elections?" Probably for the same reasons I can't vote in a Palestinian election. Of course, neither the Gaza Strip or the West Bank have held elections for quite some time, but that's a decision made by Hamas and the PA, not Israel.

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points. I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days. Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them. However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created. When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said. The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness. Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison? I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges. The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest. Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

Ralph Fiennes has been a very, very naughty boy! He had the absolute audacity to publicly defend J.K. Rowling, the author of a series that gave him one of his most iconic roles to date… that of Harry Potter’s nemesis, Voldemort. Everyone is expected to perfectly goose-step in line and denounce her for her original sin of ‘transphobia’ due to a series of Tweets. Fiennes is not the sort of man to get dragged along in pointless slacktivism on the internet. He doesn’t Tweet about how woke he is, he doesn’t run around with little rainbows on his lapels… no, Ralph Fiennes is an actual professional. No nonsense, old-school — you’re here to act, so act! I like that. He’s an admirable chap Meanwhile Radliffe, Watson and whatever-his-name-is who plays Ron, the ginger sidekick, have all spat out Rowling and publicly denounced her, because the Gods of Social Justice have put a fatwa on her name. Voldie: “I find the level of hatred that people express about views that differ from theirs, and the violence of language towards others, disturbing.” Beautiful! To the point. And oh-so true. It is disturbing how incredibly, extremely, over-the-top pissed people get at you when you go against the narrative and dare to criticise whatever’s the current hype. The very fact that Fiennes is now “under fire” for a comment so benign, in defense of a woman so marvelous, is… terrifying. Half the millennial cast of the Harry Potter universe wishes to all-but cancel the very Creator of their own universe, the woman to whom each of them owe their lucrative careers. Not Fiennes. Fiennes was somebody before Voldemort, and continued to be somebody after. He doesn’t need to defend or attack anyone. But he does, anyway, because he’s a decent human being.

The biggest communal Jewish body in the UK just voted that @TheGreenParty is RACIST. This should be a shameful moment of self-reflection for the Greens but it won’t be.

I am a working class woman. I have a lot in common with Rowling and feel very supported. 🤷
