My one-point plan for ending the war in Gaza:
1. Gaza should have a government that makes peace with Israel and ends all claims against Israel.

In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.
I will release it!

This country drinks the ocean
From 0% to 80% of the country drinking from the ocean in just 20 years. This is the story!

Israel:
- was invaded by an army that is larger than most European armies
- fought a war against an enemy that embeds in civilian homes and doesn’t wear uniforms
- issued evacuation notices
- paused the war for vaccinations
- facilitated humanitarian aid
- kept the internet on
- has more rigorous rules for engagement than NATO
- has lawyers who review every single military engagement decision
- primarily inflicted casualties on fighting-age males
- ended the war the instant they got their hostages back
"Gaza genocide" is a conspiracy theory that requires you to believe that none of the above is true.
A lie doesn't become truth just because a certain number of people believe it.

I’m trying to put together a list of UNRWA teachers who have condemned the October 7 Massacre. I want to show how mad UNRWA teachers were when they found out that their former students invaded Israel and took hostages. I have zero names so far. Please retweet to help me.
In Geneva today, I told the press that letting @UNRWA implode because of the fierce disinformation campaign, the Knesset legislation, and the suspension of funding by key donors will have grave consequences.
It would create a dangerous vacuum in the occupied Palestinian territory.
It will also send shockwaves through Jordan, Lebanon and #Syria.
This would create an environment in which children are deprived of #education + people lack access to basic services. Such an environment would be fertile ground for exploitation & extremism.
This is a threat to peace & stability in the region + beyond.
Dismantling UNRWA abruptly will only deepen the suffering of Palestine Refugees, it will not cancel their refugee status.
Alternatively, UNRWA can be supported to progressively conclude its mandate within the framework of a political process leading to empowered & prepared Palestinian institutions within the “two-State solution”.

Most of the terrorists who invaded Israel on 10/7 were alumni of UNRWA schools. UNRWA employees participated in the massacre. UNRWA teachers celebrated the massacre. Hamas guys make sure that their family members get UNRWA jobs. But the White Savior figurehead leader of UNRWA wants you to believe that if UNRWA implodes it will cause “more despair and extremism.” It’s an unbearably stupid argument that works on people who choose to be dumb.
At the #Munich Security conference today, I told the media that @UNRWA is at a key turning point with two prospects:
1) Let UNRWA implode because of the Knesset legislation &the suspension of funding by key donors with the risk of creating a vacuum +potentially sowing the seeds for more despair & extremism in the future.
Or
2) Let the Agency progressively conclude its mandate within a political framework where it would play a key role by providing its critical services, building capacity & finally handing over its public-like services to empowered Palestinian institutions at the end of such process.
