Cleared for Publication: This is an IDF drone over central Gaza, cleared for release, and it is not ambiguous. A child is walking weapons down a residential street in Central Gaza and taking it into a civilian house. Laundry hanging in the window. Ordinary street. That’s the point. They do this because they’ve learned the only rule that matters to them. Put the rifles on a child and the jet won’t fire. Park the rifle in a family home and the next headline writes itself if that house is ever touched. The child is not an accident in the plan. The child IS the plan. They turn their own kids into couriers so that when the weapon is found later, the world can scream that Israel bombed a home and killed children. I have zero patience left for the people who watch this and still talk about “innocent civilians” as if the neighborhood is unaware. They ALL know. They have ALWAYS known. This is how they fight. They hide the war inside a child and then demand you treat the child as proof that you’re the monster. That’s not resistance. That’s using a kid as cover and daring you to do anything about it.

What really happened after the State Dinner. The lost Xi camera roll has been found.

That last graphic, on a logarithmic scale, with an easy trend line between war and genocide

The most striking chart I’ve seen in a while

When nations say they want to end trade with @Israel do they really know what the heck that means?

No one could ever imagine Morocco, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates would be more friendly to Israel than UK, Canada & Australia. But Muslim countries that fight Islamists increasingly embrace Israel, while Western governments that court Islamist voters increasingly condemn it.

Weird how many people who defended guy #1 are now defending guy #2. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

This should be pushed far and wide. Watched in every college class in the U.S. Thank you @billmaher The moral confusion is gross. "It is not a genocide, it is a counterattack in a war...Gaza equals genocide is a lie, an easily provable lie (as I have argued from first hand observations in Gaza). The fact that so many democrats go along with it is to me the party's worse moment since they undid reconstruction after the civil war...words have meaning...genocide, kill or try to kill an entire people, you can't just change the definition of genocide to mean counterattack in a war where people including civilians die, that's every war..."

Oh look, the middle eastern country we’ve actually gone to war for repeatedly is asking us to go to war for them. But it’s Saudi. No Jews no news.

Israel removed every settlement from Gaza in 2005. It got Hamas. Anyone who says settlements are the obstacle to peace has not been paying attention.

The Gaza war has been a terrible tragedy, sparked by the unconscionable horror of Hamas’s October 7 terrorist massacre but rooted in a much longer conflict in which terrible mistakes have been made on all sides—including multiple credible pathways toward Palestinian statehood that Palestinian and Arab leaders tragically rejected. After October 7, Israel had both the right and the responsibility to dismantle Hamas’s military infrastructure and avoid the urban-warfare trap Hamas had spent years constructing. Israel also made serious mistakes, including restrictions on humanitarian aid that worsened civilian suffering. Those decisions deserve scrutiny and criticism. But Hamas bears enormous responsibility for the catastrophe it deliberately engineered. For years, it built hundreds of miles of tunnels beneath Gaza—an extraordinary underground infrastructure capable of providing extensive protection from bombardment. Hamas explicitly said those tunnels were for Gaza’s civilians, even though the tunnels were everywhere and could have been used to save thousands of lives. That was not merely callous indifference. Hamas deliberately provoked a devastating war and then sought to turn the deaths of the people it governed into a strategic weapon. Yahya Sinwar’s own reported messages described Palestinian civilian deaths as “necessary sacrifices” and calculated that mounting casualties would increase international pressure on Israel. Hamas kept its fighters underground while civilians remained exposed above, embedded military operations within densely populated areas, and exploited the resulting deaths to advance its political and military objectives. The evidence points to the appalling conclusion that Hamas wanted enormous numbers of Gazan civilians to die because their deaths served its strategy. It embedded its terrorist infrastructure in civilian institutions and treated the people of Gaza as human sacrifices. This was horrific and unconscionable. Palestinians in Gaza are among Hamas’s greatest victims. War is terrible and must be avoided to the fullest extent possible. But Hamas’s strategy was to force Israel into a painful and costly urban war in one of the most densely populated environments on earth, where Hamas had deliberately embedded much of its military infrastructure among civilians. Israel took extraordinary—and by many measures historically extensive and deeply costly in terms of Israeli casualties—precautions to reduce unnecessary civilian casualties, but even extraordinary precautions cannot prevent innocent people from being killed in a brutal urban war, particularly when the battlefield has been deliberately constructed to place civilians in harm’s way. None of this diminishes the immense suffering in Gaza. Every innocent Palestinian and Israeli life lost is a tragedy. Israelis and Palestinians both deserve security, dignity, and a peaceful future. But “genocide” is not a synonym for a horrific war with terrible civilian casualties. It is a specific legal charge requiring proof of an intent to destroy a protected group, in whole or substantial part, as such. the evidence clearly does not establish that Israel possessed such an intent, and the demographic record certainly does not establish genocide on its own. What happened in Gaza was horrific enough without mischaracterizing it: a devastating war triggered by a monstrous terrorist attack, fought against an enemy that deliberately entrenched itself among civilians and viewed their deaths as strategically useful, with terrible mistakes and immense human suffering along the way. Cynically calling this tragedy “genocide” does not bring us closer to truth, accountability, reconciliation, or peace. On the contrary, it serves the interests of the adversaries of peace, justice, and meaningful accountability for the many mistakes and terrible decisions that have been made on all sides of this conflict for the better part of a century.

The entire Free Palestine movement is a scam. They were screaming genocide hours after October 7th happened. You can have your own opinions but you can’t make up your own facts.

BREAKING: Jane Street posted a $15 billion loss in July amid the collapse of Situational Awareness, per FT. The firm disclosed the loss to lenders as part of a deal to shift its $11 billion public debt pile to private investors.

Here is the full letter Leopold sent to his LPs last night. Rumors of his demise are greatly exaggerated.

Clocking in to do some investing. Then you see this tweet. ✌🏼

On October 20, 2023, just seven days after the most horrific massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, Zohran Mamdani took to the streets and accused Israel of genocide. The IDF hadn't even begun its ground entry into Gaza yet that day. Mamdani is a lying piece of shit, always was.

Important reminder - very quickly after Oct 7, even before the war in Gaza expanded, Mamdani already cried “genocide” leading antisemitic demonstrations in NY. It wasn’t true then and it’s not true now. He would just prefer for Israel to never defend itself

Looks like SpaceX ate the Taco Bell lettuce

Ok, let’s see how this works. I need way more followers and I also would like 1,000 likes for posting: DEPORT SNEAKO. If you are pro Israel let’s go!

.@RoKhanna, the public deserves answers—not carefully worded talking points. The alleged incident occurred on July 8. You gave an interview to Reuters on July 9. The story was published on July 11, followed by your social media campaign and national TV appearances. A few straightforward questions: Why wasn’t this trip publicized in advance? For a politician as media-focused as you, the silence before the trip—and the publicity afterward—deserves an explanation. You say this was a serious 90-minute detention. Why did you say nothing about it on your own X account for approximately three days, even though you had already given Reuters an interview the next day? What changed between July 9 and July 11? When reports emerged that you allegedly declined requests to meet with former hostages and hostage families during this trip, you responded, “I have met with Israeli hostages.” That does not answer whether you met with any of them during this visit. Which hostages were you referring to? When and where did those meetings occur? Did you meet with any hostages or hostage families during this trip? If not, why didn’t you answer the actual allegation directly? You have publicly said you were detained by armed settlers and the IDF. What specific actions by the IDF constituted your detention? Who physically blocked the road? Did Israeli soldiers order you to remain, or otherwise prevent you from leaving? The IDF disputes that account. Will you release the complete, unedited video so the public can see the sequence for itself? Your delegation reportedly remained at the scene for roughly 90 minutes. How much contemporaneous video and photographic evidence was recorded? Will you release all of it—not selected clips, but the complete record? Who paid for this trip: your congressional office, your campaign, another organization, or someone else? Will you release the travel and funding disclosures so the public can verify the answer? Finally, will you release the contemporaneous text messages, emails, photographs and videos generated by your delegation during those 90 minutes? If your account is accurate, full transparency should only strengthen your credibility. These aren’t partisan questions. They’re the questions any member of Congress should be prepared to answer after making serious public allegations involving a foreign government. Transparency shouldn’t require this many questions.
