WATCH WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE THE “SETTLER VIOLENCE” CLIP.
Far-left activists, Palestinians and media cameras surround and provoke a Jewish resident — apparently waiting for the reaction they can film.
Then the context disappears.
The edited clip lands on Al Jazeera, Times of Israel and across social media as another example of “violent settlers.”
Sometimes the real story starts before the camera angle they want you to see.

🚨🇪🇺 EUROTRASH: EU POLITICIANS ACCUSED OF FAKING 'SETTLER VIOLENCE' INCIDENT IN ISRAEL TODAY
Earlier today, a delegation that included French Communist mayor Bernard Baudoux visited the village of Taybeh in Israel's Binyamin region WITHOUT coordinating with the IDF. Local residents told Channel 14's @eliya_aviv that footage shows the group faked a "settler violence" incident.
Left-wing outlets reported that the group, described as diplomats from France, Belgium, and Poland, was “attacked” by Jews, citing footage of Baudoux on the ground and a smashed vehicle window. Complicating the matter, the @IDF and the Israeli President @Isaac_Herzog were quick to hop on the bandwagon and condemn Jews.
Local residents provided footage and said it shows:
◾️ Baudoux lying on the ground before any Israeli residents had reached the scene
◾️ The only vehicle actually blocked belonged to the far-left activists who filmed the incident themselves
◾️ The radical activists that later told media it showed an attack on the delegation.
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office @IsraeliPM wrote, "These reports come amid concerns about a coordinated campaign to smear Israel and the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria during the annual olive harvest, relying on sensational headlines before the full facts emerge."
Baudoux, a French Communist Party official, has previously raised the 'Palestinian' Authority flag over his own town hall in France, and was escorted by members of the anarchist group "Torat Tzedek."

Today, we travelled through the West Bank on our way to Jerusalem, and I wanted to explain something that I suspect many people back in Britain know very little about.
Areas A, B and C.
Three different administrative zones, different authorities and a complicated system of security and control.
Area C in particular struck me as almost like the Wild West in places, with tensions over land, settlements and who actually exercises authority.
It's a fascinating and deeply complicated part of the world.
Don't just take my word for it. Go and look up Areas A, B and C in the West Bank. Understand how they came about and why they remain so controversial.

.@NYCMayor, not once do you say “Jews.” On Oct. 7, Hamas-led attackers murdered civilians, committed sexual violence, mutilated bodies and took hostages. You are weaponizing a day meant for mourning the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust to recycle your usual antizionist talking points.
The city with the largest Jewish population outside Israel deserves a mayor who can honor the dead without exploiting them.
This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.

Finally, the truth. An anti-Israel Wikipedia editor admits:
"I can honestly say that a good 10-15% of the active accounts since 7 October 2023 have either been my own sockpuppets or other users I have personally and intimately coordinated extensively externally (on sources like Discord) with to ensure the project has a pro-Palestine bias".

This whole Macklemore situation is so spiritually Palestinian.
Ed Sheeran became one of the biggest musicians in the world by writing good music, he built an audience, and people spend hundreds of dollars to come hear his music.
Macklemore gets invited onto that stage and decides to hijack Ed Sheeran’s concert for his political rally. Ed built the stage and brought the audience, and Macklemore decided he was entitled to commandeer it for his demented cause.
And when Ed Sheeran tells him this is a concert, not a political rally, and he doesn’t want to take sides, he becomes the villain.
This is Palestinianism. You build nothing. You bite the hand that feeds you. You leech onto things other people built and destroy them.
These parasites have hijacked every institution, every cultural event, everything other people built, and feel entitled to selfishly destroy it for their tribal clan politics.

The Committee to Protect Journalists and International Federation of Journalists named Ahmed Abu Mhadi as a journalist for the Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa TV. He was featured in a Guardian article about Gazan journalists killed in the war.
Today, Hamas announced that Abu Mhadi was a fighter in its Northern Brigade's Martyr Fawzi Abu al-Qara' Battalion. Video shows him in uniform, practicing preparing IEDs and drilling with firearms.
Since we published our audit of CPJ's database, another four terrorist martyr notices have been issued for supposed "journalists." Where is the accountability?

24 hours after I detailed the VP’s disturbing associations with Qatar (including, in some cases, relationships with people working explicitly on Qatar’s behalf), The Daily Caller, a publication majority-owned by Neil Patel, with Omeed Malik as an investor, ran a hit piece insinuating that me, an American citizen criticizing her own Vice President, amounts to “foreign interference.”
But WAIT. It gets better. Included in their “evidence” is the fact that someone who bought one of the channels I work with, also bought a house on the same street as the Israeli prime minister. OH NO! Clearly, FOREIGN INFLUENCE. 😂
Imagine being so fragile that this is how you respond to journalists who criticize you. 😂 What a thin-skinned coward JD Vance and all his beta followers are.
Thanks for revealing your true colors ✌️@DailyCaller

🎙️ DEEP DIVE WEDNESDAY:
THE PARTS OF THE “KIDS WITH KITES” STORY THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA LEAVE OUT
(Part of our new scheduled daily content lineup, always pinned.)
Defense Minister Israel Katz issues a stark warning over kites crossing from Gaza, and right on cue, international media frame the story around Palestinian children and their toys, while social-media talking heads roll their eyes at Israel’s concern.
But Gaza’s kite history isn’t hypothetical: organized kite-and-balloon units used them to carry burning material into Israel, setting hundreds of fires and burning thousands of acres.
Reducing this to “Israel versus kids with kites” is a false narrative created by deleting the history that makes Israel’s warning completely understandable.
This week’s Deep Dive Wednesday puts that history back into the story.

After decades of systematic demonization, delegitimization, double standards - responses to the October 7 massacre, that began across places & spaces on October 8 - of silence, denial, justification, attack of Jews…made very clear: clear: Antizionism is the ‘modern’ strain of an ancient ever-mutating hate anchored in lies, that always predicts the collapse of societies it plagues.
If you don’t believe me…ask @MarkRuffalo, who to ‘prove’ he’s not antisemitic, conflates criticism of 🇮🇱”the Jew” among nations with criticism of a Hollywood studios merger with an American Jewish family…because, as the antisemitism playbook always goes… 🇮🇱“the Jew” among nations is to blame for every evil & problem in the world, & the actions of every Jew in the world are connected to 🇮🇱“the Jew” among nations.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Why are people outside the United States disproportionately interested in a certain set of U.S. congressional candidates? 🧐

So wonderful to meet with @rubin_eric, Eddy, Michael, and Tim! Their organization, Project Max, does fantastic work to fight antisemitism in the sports world with the support of athletes. Antisemitism is an issue for everyone!

Two years ago today, Hezbollah murdered 12 #Druze children from the Israeli town of Majdal Shams. In addition, many other children were severely wounded, both physically & emotionally. Some of the children were playing football/soccer. Some of the girls had just left basketball practice to watch their friends/family play. Children, murdered on a soccer field.
All of us at @ProjectMaxClub remain committed to honoring the children and doing our part to make sure the world never forgets.
May the memories of the children of Majdal Shams forever be a blessing.

Iranians feel 'betrayed' by Donald Trump's peace deal:
Tens of thousands of Iranians who were murdered in January for demonstrating against the Iranian regime had 'not died for a nuclear deal or the Strait of Hormuz'. Crown Prince @PahlaviReza told me for the @DailyMail .

My full remarks at the Oxford Union debate over the motion: “This house believes Israel never truly wanted peace with Palestine”
Ladies and gentlemen,
Tonight’s motion is not merely wrong. It is intellectually unserious.
“This house believes that Israel never truly wanted peace with Palestine.”
Never.
That single word should immediately alarm anyone who values historical accuracy, nuance, or basic intellectual honesty.
Because “never” is not a casual word. It is absolute, total, and maximalist. To vote for this motion, you are not being asked to believe Israel sometimes undermined peace, or that Israel made mistakes.
You are not even being asked to believe Israel bears major responsibility for the conflict. No, you are being asked to believe that across nearly 80 years of modern history, across every Israeli government, negotiation, territorial concession, treaty, withdrawal, every diplomatic initiative – Israel, as a state, never really wanted peace. Not once.
Clearly, such a claim does not stand under the weight of history.
From the modern state’s inception – Israel accepted the 1947 UN Partition Plan despite receiving non-arable land with almost no resources.
The Arab leadership rejected it and launched a war instead. In 1993 and 1995, Israel signed the Oslo Accords, and received an intifada in response.
At Camp David in 2000, Israel offered 94-96% of the West Bank, 100% of Gaza, and a divided Jerusalem.
In 2008, Prime Minister Olmert made another proposal for 94% of the West Bank plus an additional 5.8% more territory in the form of land swaps.
The Palestinian leadership said no to all of these offers.
In 2005, Israel withdrew every soldier and civilian from Gaza. The response?
Gazans elected Hamas, and Israel received over 25,000 missiles over the next two decades — plus multiple wars and the October 7th massacre.
You may argue that Israel’s offers were imperfect, or insufficient… but you cannot honestly argue that these are the actions of a state that never wanted peace.
The problem with this motion however goes even deeper. What exactly is meant by “peace”? Peace is not simply the absence of war, it requires two peoples accepting each other’s right to self determination and national existence.
For much of the conflict, major Palestinian factions and surrounding Arab states have and still do reject Jewish self determination outright. In fact, some if not all of the proposition debaters tonight are on record opposing a two state solution…and yet we as Israelis are being asked to prove that it is us who are serious about peace?
On the question of the partition plan, the Secretary-General of the Arab League at the time, Azzam Pasha, warned that the establishment of a Jewish state would lead to what he called “a war of extermination and momentous massacre” of the Jews.
Other Arab leaders and factions openly spoke about driving the Jews into the sea, including Haj Amin Al Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem, who stated in 1948, “Arabs, rise as one and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion.”
This was never a dispute over borders… rather it was a rejection of Jewish sovereignty itself, even when their rejection ends up harming Palestinian society.
Today, we routinely hear slogans from the Palestinian movement globally, including this week at Oxford — such as “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” a phrase which by definition involves replacing Israel entirely with a Palestinian state stretching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
At protests around the world, including outside Jewish institutions and synagogues, activists have openly declared “We don’t want two states, we want all of it.”
So again I ask: what exactly does “peace” mean when one side refuses to accept that the other has any legitimate right to exist at all?
