This week, @christopherrufo tackle the Indian Question. Among other things, this episode cuts to the heart of longstanding foundational political disputes that are simply unreconcilable, but which can longer be brushed aside. Namely that some people (perhaps most people) prefer to live in a homogenous society, and as America tips toward a majority-minority country, that fundamental preference is under threat. For a long time, liberals, who have more cosmopolitan preferences, have been able to pathologize the desire for homogeneity and subdue any explicit political effort to maintain a white majority in the country. A great many conservatives are no longer willing to be silent on this question. They are going to actively assert their preferences, and Indians, while relatively small in total number are nonetheless the fasting growing foreign born demographic in the country and the most conspicuous element of the 21st century mass immigration regime, and are therefore the inevitable flashpoint for this debate. *This episode we also took input from our Indian/South Asian friends @balajis, @razibkhan, @Indian_Bronson, and a secret 4th Indian.

seems to me the indian question of 2026 is the same as the irish question in 1890, the italian question starting in 1900, the greek question starting in 1910, the jewish question in the 1930s, and the black question that spanned slavery until the 1960s

Horrific scenes out of Kyiv this morning as Russia used a jet-powered drone to blow up Ukraine’s National Academy of Sciences. People are escaping through windows as the building burns. Just like they target kindergartens and schools, now they are bombing science.

Wiping Israel off the map used to be something that radicals would whisper in private. Now college students chant it at political rallies. If you think that Qatar isn't influencing American youth and the Left wing of the Democratic Party, then you haven't been paying attention.

when israel behaves the way it does, you dont need to blame a third party for all the bad press
הציבור הישראלי רוצה גם להלחם, לכבוש ולכתוש בלי להתחשב בדין הבינלאומי, וגם לא לשלם על כך מחיר. הציבור גם רוצה לא לשלם מיסים אבל לקבל שירותי רווחה מצוינים. מנהיג אמיתי היה מפסיק להשלות את הציבור. מדהים שגם אחרי שישראל החריבה את רוב עזה והרגה מעל 74,000 פלסטינים בעזה, רובם אזרחים אפילו לטענת ישראל, יש עוד מי שמעז לחזור לציבור ולהציע את הסחורה המיושנת של הסברה טובה יותר.

Addressing the Irish Parliament on October 12, 2023, Martin urged Israel to follow a "New Testament approach" to the 10/7 atrocities rather than an "Old Testament approach." His immediate reaction to Hamas's crimes was to denigrate Jewish scriptures. That's telling, I fear.
🇮🇪🇮🇱 Irish PM Micheál Martin tells me why Ireland has taken such a tough stance on Israel — and what’s behind the country’s strong response to the war in Gaza. In an exclusive interview at Fox News in New York, the Taoiseach condemned Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attack and defended Israel’s right to exist. He called Israel’s military response in Gaza “absolutely disproportionate” and pressed Israel to “change strategy.” I also asked @MichealMartinTD whether anti-Israel sentiment in Ireland has crossed into antisemitism. “We have no toleration for antisemitism, none," he said. ⚽️ Those tensions have now spilled onto the soccer field as Ireland’s players held a dramatic last-minute vote over whether to boycott today’s game against Israel amid mounting pressure at home. 🎥 Part of my exclusive @FoxNews Digital interview: Full story here 🔽 foxnews.com/politics/irish-p…

American Muslims love creating unique ethnic combinations that have never existed anywhere else before. Interestingly this seems to be a unique cultural phenomenon in America and does not occur as much in other countries.
Mamdani is the progenitor of the 'American Muslim race.' I have a theory that American Muslims will undergo ethnogensis and produced a vaguely Brown, Arab-Desi mixed ethnicity. I think Zohran already proved my prediction right. When speaking about his ethnicity, Mamdani is just Muslim, no one calls him Arab or Ugandan. Even the anti-Indian right wingers don't mention that he's Indian. The only relevant part of Zohran's race is Islam. He's racially Muslim. This is the future for all Muslim Americans.

ספוילר: ניהול הסברה לא יחזיר אותנו להיות מדינה אהובה בעולם. שום הסברה לא תתקן הרחבת התנחלויות, עקירת קהילות, הפקרתן לאלימות והפעלת מנגנוני מדינה נגד קומץ מתנגדים. ישראל מכורה לכיבוש, מעתיקה אותו לגזרות נוספות, מצדיקה אותו בחזון משיחי וחותרת לפאשיזם. זאת המציאות, והעולם מבין היטב.
העובדה שישראלים נוחתים בהולנד ומחטטים להם בתיקים כדי לחפש ולהחרים מוצרים מהתנחלויות, היא כשלון מדיני שלא היה שום דבר דומה לו בעבר. בדיוק כמו העובדה שמאוריציוס מסרבת לתת למטוסים ישראלים לנחות בגבולה. בדיוק כמו העובדה שמליאת האו"ם מתרוקנת כשראש ממשלת ישראל עולה לדוכן. בדיוק כמו העובדה שאד שירן צריך להתנצל בפני מעריציו על כך שהוא לא מספיק אנטי-ישראלי. אנטישמים היו תמיד, כסף קטארי ואיראני הסית נגדנו תמיד, אבל ישראל ידעה בעבר לחסום ולעצור אירועים כאלה. בעבודה מדינית נכונה, בניהול הסברה נכון, אפשר לעצור את הגל האנטי ישראלי ולהחזיר אותנו להיות מדינה אהובה בעולם. זה לא יקרה עם הממשלה הזו. התיקון יתחיל עוד חודש.

Hard to explain to anyone who’s never been to Gaza how jarring this is. Gaza had a population density in range of Greater London or Hong Kong. 87% lived in urban areas. They now mostly live in tents. By the sea. Half of them: children. Waiting for fourth displaced winter.
Years from now, my grandkids will ask me how humanity allowed Gaza to happen. I still don’t have an answer for them 💔 nitter.net/mhmd_s09/status/209257…

Despite the fines and mounting pressure, Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair continues to honour Palestinian children killed in Gaza. This time, it’s Lana, 12, and Bana, 8, who were killed alongside their family in an Israeli attack earlier this month.

I’ve seen NAZA. It is not about Gaza or even about IDF rules of engagement. It is 100% a film about Israeli society. It is about how the most liberal, educated and enlightened socioeconomic elites among us could carry out such mass killing, some even while being well aware of it.

Remember what I said last week, they're going to try and blackball Azeez Al-Shaair if he doesn't back down. He's a team captain, a pro-bowler, and in his prime. He's one of the best linebackers on the planet. They'll try to ruin his career because he stands with Palestinians.
Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was told by an NFL official to remove the name of Wafaa Akila, an 8-year-old Palestinian girl killed in Gaza, from his eye black during the Texans’ Week 2 game or he would not be allowed to continue playing, according to a league source. According to Reuters, Wafaa Akila was killed earlier this month by an Israeli airstrike. nyti.ms/4yWHU5I

Abdul El-Sayed on America: This is a country where there is no ethnic identity, there’s no religious identity, there is just a national identity. And I didn’t appreciate it as much until I went to grad school in the UK, where I’d meet third generation Pakistani kids and I’d be like, "You’re British." They’re like, "I’m not British. I’m Pakistani." I was like, "Yes, but you’re British. You have a British citizenship." They’re like, "Yes, I’m a citizen of the United Kingdom, but I’m not British. I’m Pakistani." And so America to me is the notion that we can come together around our differences to build something that’s greater than the sum of its parts because we believe in the process by which we do that thing. It’s funny, you know, my dad, I don’t think he’s been to Egypt in like 20 years. And he still has an accent. He still looks the way he looks. And you watch him watch the Lions on Sunday and you’re like, that’s a full-blooded American.

If one massacres 1,000 people and plunge them into a massive war, where young people are called up to fight for years, you get right wing young people It’s a lesson. Don’t murder 1,000 people in a single day, don’t massacre young people at a music festival and force their brothers and sisters to arms for years of grueling war If you murder people and all their families have to go off to war then the young generation will become steel and they will vote “right wing” because you have turned them into steel through the fire of war Being a nice progressive lefty is a privilege of not having to shoulder a rifle to defend one’s home ; put people under rocket fire for years and they will vote accordingly
In most countries, young voters are more left-wing than their right-wing elders. In Israel it's the reverse.

Mamdani is the opposite of the values that made NYC the greatest city in the world. Grit, sacrifice, entrepreneurship, making it from the bottom to the top.
It's been so inspiring to see the greatest city in the world showcase its values, strengths, and ideals. I was honored to be at Gracie Mansion for "Building an Economy for the Many," hosted by Mayor @ZohranKMamdani, to hear @sanchezcastejon, @miaamormottley, @antoniolscosta, and many other dynamic leaders address the most pressing issues facing their citizens — expanding the horizons of what's possible with imagination. So proud of NYC!
