BREAKING: Palestinians themselves just shattered the media narrative that Israeli ‘settlers’ randomly attacked innocent olive harvesters. They’re so proud of their attack that they just released a video of them undertaking it.

BREAKING: More video evidence is released showing the attack by Palestinian terrorists in the West Bank. Why would WaPo completely leave this out?

This was the moment that the media turned against Israel, and it happened just 10 days into the war. On October 17, 2023, an explosion occurred at Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza. Major outlets immediately pushed it as an Israeli strike. Hamas sources were quoted instantly claiming hundreds of dead. The truth? An Islamic Jihad misfired rocket had landed in the hospital's parking lot. But that correction was published days later, and got only a fraction of the views. Initial reports have no time for verification. And by the time the facts actually come out, most people have already scrolled past, shared the clip, or made up their minds. It’s a pattern that repeatedly fuels anti-Israel narratives. Watch how it happened, and why it still matters. @Erin_Molan

As usual, several things can be true at once: 1. A small group of Israeli settlers are violent thugs and should be arrested. 2. There’s a coordinated effort to label every West Bank incident as “settler violence.” 3. These aren’t olive harvesters.

Nothing but love and respect for the important work Hen does. But, I really wish we would stop responding to accusations of European colonialism by pointing out that not all Jews came from Europe. Jews are not originally from Europe. Full stop. Ashkenazi Jews are not any less indigenous to the Land of Israel than Mizrahi or Sephardi Jews. The fact that Jewish populations spent centuries in exile across different continents does not somehow change the geographic origins of the Jewish people. Every time we respond by emphasizing that some Jews never lived in Europe, we inadvertently concede the premise that Ashkenazi Jews are European colonizers, or at least suggest that there is a shred of truth to that accusation. Signed, A Sephardi Jew.

🔥🔥🔥 From the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board: "It’s possible that the Nobel Committee will someday bestow its peace prize on a less worthy recipient than Navanethem “Navi” Pillay, but we doubt it. The Oslo worthies this year have honored an 85-year-old South African whose career has been marked above all by hatred for Israel and the Jews who support it... Ms. Pillay has lobbied to lower the threshold for claims of genocide. Why? Because a looser standard would allow Ms. Pillay’s South Africa, which hosted Hamas delegations in the weeks after Oct. 7, to pursue more easily its vendetta against Israel." wsj.com/opinion/navi-pillay-…

This is why they killed him. They couldn't beat him.

Fire. BLM lied to you.

I just read that a historian who set out to prove that Leonardo DaVinci was not Jewish ended up instead proving that in fact he was born to a Jewish teenager named Caterina, who was captured by the Tatars and sold into slavery. Around 1439 she was shipped across the Black Sea to Constantinople, then sold to Venetian merchants and taken to Venice, then on to Florence by about 1442, in the household of Donato and Ginevra. Donato had traded in the Levant and the Black Sea and already used Circassian slaves in textile work. In Florence she did household and workshop service and was rented out as a wet nurse. The Tablet article says she was also used as a sex slave, and that she already had children by the time Piero “borrowed” her as a nurse for his daughter and then freed her after Leonardo’s birth. She would have been about 15. The historian Carlo Vecce found an emancipation act in the Florence State Archives dated November 2, 1452, about six and a half months after Leonardo’s birth on April 15, 1452. It was drafted and signed by Leonardo’s father, the notary Piero da Vinci, acting as solicitor. It frees a woman named Caterina, described in Latin as filia Jacobi eius schiava seu serva de partibus Circassie: “daughter of Jacob, his slave or servant from the parts of Circassia.” Apparently, Circassian women were especially sought after. “Caterina” was a name often given on forced conversion to Christianity. “The most probable hypothesis, given what I found, is that Caterina was Jewish.” His background: Carlo Vecce is a historian and philologist. He is Professor of Italian Literature at the University of Naples “L’Orientale,” and a specialist in Renaissance literature and civilization. His doctorate, at the Catholic University of Milan, was on that field. Since 1994 he has been a member of the Commissione Vinciana, the official body for Leonardo studies, and he has edited Leonardo manuscripts — the Libro di pittura (Codex Urbinas) and the Codex Arundel — plus a Leonardo biography and a reconstruction of Leonardo’s library. In 2023 he was named a corresponding member of the Accademia dei Lincei in the class of moral sciences, under philology and linguistics.

After the Green Party's "Zionism is Racism" vote, the Leader of Haringey Council, which is controlled by the Greens, wrote to various Synagogues in the borough to "reassure" them. I want to show you Highgate Synagogue's reply. I believe it is worth reading in its entirety.

The world demonizes Israel 365 days a year. Perhaps, for just one day—October 7th—the critics of Israel could take a vacation from their hysterical hatred of the world’s only Jewish State and find it within themselves to express condolences for the thousands of Israelis murdered, maimed, mutilated, raped, and abducted at the hands of Hamas.

How anti-Israeli is Wikipedia? So anti-Israeli that on October 7, October 7 is not mentioned.

Today marks 3 years since 46 Americans, as part of a much larger group of over 1,200 victims, were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists.    Mass raping, kidnappings, executions, and torture were widespread by Hamas that day. Yet, politicians, antisemites and other activists in the U.S. have elevated, glorified, and whitewashed that worst form of toxicity and evil ever since.   Thanks to President Trump, every one of the 254 hostages, living and deceased, is finally home.   October 7th was the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust, and served as confirmation that Never Again is Now.

On this 3rd anniversary of the 10/7 massacre, my commitment to our ally remains unchanged. Israel has my full support for what’s necessary to prevail and erase the last 2,000 Hamas cowards. The world cannot ever forget the horror of that day.

The Green Party are keeping tabs on current and former footballers for the sin of liking social media posts that are a bit too Jew-y. They’re insane.

Mamdani’s antisemitism plan doubles Partners Against the Hate to $6.4 million. One anchor in that program is the Arab American Association of New York. Anchors get the city money and regrant it. AAANY’s 2025 Form 990, Schedule I, is where it lists grants over $5,000. Same page: CAIR-NY, $57,779, PATH PROGRAM. JFREJ Community, $58,084, PATH PROGRAM. About $223,500 to CAIR-NY since 2021. About $222,000 to JFREJ over the same years. Every check labeled PATH. City anti-hate money, passed through AAANY. These are the regrants, not a new earmark. The rollout named @JCRCNY. The 990 names CAIR-NY. docs.candid.org/990/113/1136…

If you’re actually pro-Palestinian, why don’t you know what Palestinians have faced in Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, etc? No outrage. No talking points. Not even basic knowledge of what happened. Because for a lot of people, the conversation was never really about Palestinians—it starts and ends with Israel. You can’t claim to care about a people while ignoring their history everywhere else.

Lots of @TheGreenParty officials posting about how they “don’t agree” with the motion. We are often asked: “What would you have done when they came for the Jews?” Well, your party just did. So either own it or leave it. Enough with the empty posturing.

The main entry on Wikipedia—one of the most visited sites on the internet and one that reportedly feeds into the ways that artificial intelligence tools answer questions from users—essentially blames Israel for being attacked on Oct. 7, the bloodiest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Jew-hatred watchdogs and pro-Israel groups have long accused the crowdsourced encyclopedia, in which almost anyone can post to the site, of antisemitic bias. But the fact that its main entry on the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attacks states in its first sentence that the terror attacks were “a series of coordinated armed incursions from the blockaded Gaza Strip” adds insult to injury, experts told @JNS_org. 🧵
