Spain, a nation that pretends to social justice, sticking it's nose into every region but it's own. Forcibly evicting 87 year-old Maricarmen Abascal, a wheelchair user, from her Madrid apartment where she had lived 70+ years. nbcnews.com/world/spain/ange…

Brenda Power is a rare voice of moral clarity amongst the Irish commentariat on this issue. In under a minute she eviscerates Ireland’s hypocrisy. ‘There wasn’t a single peep of protest to the Irish cricket team voluntarily playing Afghanistan last month, where women are treated worse than battery chickens. It is the most extreme humanitarian crisis in the world right now, as far as I can see, the gender apartheid in Afghanistan. Not a word of protest.’ ‘Where was your indignation when we played [Afghanistan]? England wouldn’t play them, South Africa wouldn’t play them, New Zealand wouldn’t play them. The great humanitarians in Ireland had absolutely no difficulty. We’re hypocrites.’

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

Do you know about Jallianwala Bagh of South? In 1948,Nizam’s police made 200 Hindus stand in a line & sh0t them dead. Their crime? Refusal to pay Jizya tax. This happened in Bhairanpally. While Jallianwala Bagh is taught in schools, Bhairanpally massacre is ignored.

Pour yourself a cup of ambition today! Sept. 25 is Dolly Parton Day across California, a celebration timed to the date's nod to Parton's beloved hit song, "9 to 5." Dozens of cities and communities across the country are also celebrating. abc7ne.ws/YM6SBK

He's teaching English over there, which means there's going to be a small population of Laotian kids who speak English, like they are from Lafayette.

With great sadness, we received information about the passing of Auschwitz Survivor Julia Wallach, who died at the age of 101. Julia Wallach, née Kac, was born on 14 June 1925 in Paris as the only daughter of Polish Jewish immigrants. During the German occupation of France in July 1942, her mother Marie was arrested in the Vel’ d’Hiv roundup. Julia never saw her again. On 24 April 1943, Julia and her father Joseph were arrested after being denounced. They were imprisoned in Drancy. On 23 June 1943, they were deported to Auschwitz in transport no. 55. Julia was 18 years old. In the camp, she was registered as prisoner no. 46645. Her father did not survive. Julia owed her survival in part to one of her cousins, whom she met there, and who advised her never to miss work, under any circumstances, or she too would go "up the chimney". Julia listened and went to work, even though she was extremely ill with typhus. In January 1945, she was taken on an evacuation march. During the following months, she was transferred westward, including to Ravensbrück. In April 1945, she managed to escape during a death march and eventually reached American soldiers. After the war, she recovered the family apartment in Paris, married a fellow survivor, and raised two children. From the 1960s onward, and with growing intensity in recent decades, Wallach spoke regularly in schools and public events about her deportation and life in Auschwitz. In the 2020s her testimony reached wider audiences through films made by her granddaughter, filmmaker Frankie Wallach. In 2022, she was awarded the Légion d’honneur for her educational work. May her memory be a blessing. Photo: thelastones.org/temoin/julia…

If I say: *You can not remain silent as jalapeno sauce massacres ketchup. I accuse you of being complicit.* And then I offer: *Here. Take this red ketchup T shirt. Wear it everywhere. Take this red ketchup flag and wave it wherever you go.* That is forced pro-ketchupness.
If I say, "ketchup is the worst," that's just an opinion. If I say, "people who like ketchup are idiots," that's bullying. If I say, "because I don't like ketchup, no one should be allowed to have it," that's oppression. If I say, "people who eat ketchup are dangerous and must be controlled," that's racism, bigotry, and fascism. If I say, "anyone who defends ketchup should be silenced or locked up," that's the destruction of free speech and democracy.

This was not Yom Kippur. This is a protest that stole Yom Kippur’s language. Yizkor is a memorial for the dead of your own people. They turned it into a stage where "Jews" confess “the sin of genocide” and hand the microphone to Mahmoud Khalil a campus protest leader, not a mourner in that rite. That is not humility. It is political theatre in white clothes.Khalil’s line our taxes and votes are used to kill and displace flattens a war into one Jewish-American crime. Hamas, hostages, Hezbollah, Iran vanish. Only Jewish guilt remains. You can mourn Palestinian civilians without baptising a contested war as Jewish blood-guilt on the holiest day of the year. They chose the latter. A few hundred activists do not speak for Jews. They used Jewish sacred time for propaganda.

I agree with him but it’s just hilarious that this is almost verbatim what Jeffries said about his Kushner meeting and every left wing pundit’s head exploded
Reporter: Do you think you should be criticized for meeting with Trump? Mamdani: I campaigned on meeting and working with anyone that can help deliver for New Yorkers

🚨The Spanish government has APPROVED the 1st step in the extradition of pro-Pal millionaire Fergie Chambers. He’s accused by the US of funnelling millions to Hamas and they want Spain to deport him. Chambers funded Palestine Action but ppl keep telling me there’s no connection.

On Yom Kippur pro-Pals went to the famous Holocaust memorial on the banks of the river Danube in Hungary and compared the war in Gaza with the systematic murder of Jews. On the riverside are bronzed shoes of victims of shooting squads. The killers would use the laces of the children’s shoes to tie their hands before shooting them and their tiny bodies would fall into the river. Sometimes the fascists would tie a group of Jews together and only shoot one so the others fell into the freezing waters alive. If they lived the monsters would use them for target practice. They made them take off their shoes to sell them for profit after. 565k Hungarian Jews were slaughtered in the Holocaust. In less than a year. War is not genocide. I think pro-Pals target Holocaust memorials to both demonise Jews and cause deliberate pain. It’s despicable.

The Aardvark Society for the Preservation of a Safe & Swift Rafah Crossing has remained uncharacteristically silent. I don't know if I can, in good conscience, continue to support them.
One of the dumbest reels I've ever seen. I support 🇵🇸 but if every nature org in Britain spoke up about it, it wouldn't save a single Palestinian life but would reduce donations and distract
