No, they don’t. It’s the same as 1948. The Jews got 20% of the land, the Palestinians 80%. But that wasn’t 💯. So instead 7 Arab states attacked the survivors of the Holocaust. The irony is mind boggling. 78 years later, it’s no less mind boggling.

They're trying to convince the world that Israel, this yellow dot, a state the size of New Jersey and the only Jewish state in the world, surrounded by Muslim nations, is the “occupier.” Do they realize how stupid they sound?

Honored to have my research mentioned by @netanyahu in his address to the UNGA. Israel has in fact implemented more civilian harm mitigation measures (many that no nation has ever even imagined/attemped) than any military in history. The other facts in his speech were also spot on. Israel has not only implemented extraordinary precautions in urban warfare to prevent civilian harm while Hamas has done everything it can to increase civilian harm, there is no genocide, actually the opposite of genocide in Gaza, Israel provided tons of food, water, medical supplies, facilitated immunizations for the entire populations, field hospitals, built new water lines, electricity, got patients to hospitals outside of Gaza, and much more.

HAMAS ISN’T EVEN HIDING IT ANYMORE. On October 7, Hamas terrorists filmed parts of their own attack. Years later, denial and minimization still persist. Now Hamas has released propaganda showing children with weapons and participating in militant activity. The accompanying Arabic audio glorifies martyrdom and explicitly invokes the Al-Qassam Brigades. International law is clear: armed groups must not recruit or use children in hostilities. Recruiting or using children under 15 to participate actively in hostilities is a war crime under the Rome Statute. And yet most people will never see this footage. So make them see it. Share the video. The next time someone reduces this war to the line “Israel kills children,” show them the children Hamas puts into its war.

The man is a 24 carat hypocrite. He will make a fortune from these sordid revelations. That IS profiting from the life and death of his sister. Bloody shame on him

Holy smokes. Wake up people.
BOMBSHELL: Motaz Azaiza admits he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten in the streets of Gaza on October 7, and deliberately never published it, to protect the identities of the people beating them. He did post other October 7 footage that day, celebrating the attack. He quietly deleted it later. Azaiza is an influential "photojournalist" from Ghazza. TIME named him to the TIME 100. He was nominated for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize. CNN, the Guardian and Sky all interviewed him. Ms. Rachel Griffin-Accurso, who has 16 million subscribers, made a video for preschoolers introducing "my friend Motaz." She deleted it later. Two weeks ago, he did a 3 hour and 38 minute interview in Arabic. He made a number of EXTRAORDINARY admissions. 🧵

I look at those two "filmmakers" and their film, NAZA. Absolute lies from beginning to end. My country was the one torn apart on October 7. But it did not begin there. For decades, we Israelis have been targets of Islamist terrorists and extremists in Gaza and around the world. Let me ask you something. Have you ever imagined seeing your friend beheaded? Your children bleeding to death? Your grandmother burning to death? What other extremist ideology has produced this much terror, this much evil? For three years, I have lived with the atrocities of October 7. I put my life aside to create a record that could never be erased or forgotten. I went to sleep with these images every night, crying out to the world: Do not forget. I have seen things I cannot even write about. I have watched atrocities that words cannot describe. Here in Israel, we have respect for the dead. We have never wanted to publish images of the bodies of those who were murdered. Their families do not deserve to live with those images forever. If the full footage were released, many people would be psychologically harmed by images the human mind cannot process. We never wanted war with Gaza. Lebanon did not interest us either. For years, we begged our government to end the constant attacks - decades of rockets and incendiary kites while we remained trapped in a disastrous policy of restraint that helped bring October 7 to our doorstep. What would you do if a terrorist wearing a green headband broke into your home, abducted your wife and children, dragged them into a dark tunnel, starved them, and murdered them with his own hands? What if your neighbors were murdered in their beds? If your daughters were raped? What would you do? Again and again, we watched a world driven by antisemitism blame us and turn the predator into the victim. We watched you threaten us, isolate us, condemn us. We buried our dead and stood up again. Together. United. We fought back. We rose from the ashes and took back our skies. We lost soldiers. We lost our sons. In a war we never asked for. We watched people celebrate the massacre against us and hit "like" on photos of our kidnapped children. And now we have watched people from within our own society sell their souls for money and sell us out for applause - the same kind of applause heard in Khan Younis when a crowd cheered as members of the Bibas family were returned in coffins. We survived that cursed day. We stood up again. We fought on every front. Thousands of terrorists were eliminated. The IDF paid a devastating price while taking measures intended to avoid harming civilians. Had we not been stopped again and again, we would have continued to act against the Islamic regime - the head of the octopus behind so much of our suffering. Many of us also fight on the information front, as platforms blur our evidence and silence us while Iranian agents and bots distort the truth. Many of you know me through my documentation of October 7. The stories and testimonies will continue to be told. We will not surrender to pressure or vested interests. Deep down, you know the truth. September 11, October 7, January 8, and the atrocities in Sweida - we have seen the bodies, the blood, and the horror. We know what murderous Islamist jihadists are capable of. And still, they receive applause from comfortable seats in Venice and elsewhere around the world. You have always looked away from our losses, just as the world now looks away while innocent Iranians are executed day after day. Make no mistake. We are the ones condemning you. And in the name of every victim whose suffering you chose to ignore, we will never forgive you. There is only one truth. You will never erase it. We never asked for war. But when war comes knocking at our door, we will be the ones who win. This is me in 2023, looking at what they had done to us, realizing my life had changed forever.

PALESTINE - HISTORICAL TRUTH. The entire Palestine cause is pure propaganda. Like it or not, there has NEVER BEEN a sovereign nation called PALESTINE in all of recorded history. No government, borders, currency, or capital ever existed. Conversely, the Jewish people’s connection to the land reaches back nearly four thousand (4000!) years to Abraham, who entered Canaan around 2000 BC. Centuries later, after the Exodus from Egypt, the Israelites under Moses and Joshua returned and took possession of the land. Around 1000 BC, Israel was united under King Saul, followed by King David, who established Jerusalem as the capital, and Solomon, who built the First Temple. After Solomon’s death in 931 BC, the kingdom divided into Israel in the north and Judah in the south — the latter enduring until the Babylonian conquest in 586 BC. Centuries later, the region came under Persian, Greek and Roman rule. Roman occupation began in 63 BC when Pompey entered Jerusalem. The Second Temple was destroyed in 70 AD by Titus following the First Jewish Revolt. After the Bar Kokhba revolt was crushed in 135 AD, Emperor Hadrian renamed the province Syria Palaestina, seeking to erase the name of Judea and invoking Israel’s ancient foes, the Philistines. This accelerated the Jewish Diaspora, as Jews were slain, enslaved or scattered across the empire — though a Jewish remnant always remained in the land. In the 7th century AD, Muhammad began preaching around 610 AD, and Islam spread rapidly after his death in 632. Muslim forces captured Jerusalem in 638 AD, and by 691 the Dome of the Rock had been constructed on the Temple Mount, where the Jewish Temples had once stood. This began many centuries of Islamic rule over the city. Over the following centuries, the territory came under Byzantine, Islamic, Crusader, Ottoman and British control, yet never became an independent Arab state. During the late Ottoman and British Mandate periods, Arab migrants from neighbouring lands — attracted in part by Jewish agricultural revival and economic opportunity — settled there and became part of the population later known as Palestinian Arabs. The League of Nations Mandate of 1922 formally recognised the historic connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and Britain’s responsibility for establishing their national home. When Israel was proclaimed in 1948, it was not the creation of a wholly new nation, but the restoration of the Jewish homeland possessed by their ancestors for millennia. The surrounding Arab nations rejected the UN partition plan and launched war instead of establishing the proposed Arab state; from 1948 to 1967, Jordan and Egypt controlled territories that could have formed such a state, but none was created. Thus, the modern Palestinian claim to ownership of the Land of Israel rests not upon historic national sovereignty but upon a modern political identity. Many Palestinians descend from Arabs displaced in 1948–49, while Palestinian national identity became increasingly crystallised during the 20th century, particularly with the formation of the PLO in 1964 and the leadership of Yasser Arafat. Their claim therefore derives from modern political nationalism rather than continuous national sovereignty, whereas the Jewish claim rests upon three to four millennia of covenant, continuity and internationally acknowledged historical connection. God’s promise to King David: “And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies … Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.” — 2 Samuel 7 Parousia2030. Maranatha. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇮🇱

I want to tell you about Karin Journo. She was only 24 years old. She loved life, loved to smile, and brought light wherever she went. On October 7, despite having a broken leg from an injury just days earlier, Karin went with her friends to the Nova music festival to celebrate and dance. At 6:30 a.m., as the rocket fire began, she called her mother and said they were shutting down the party. At 6:58, she sent her the location of the festival and said they were already on their way to the car and would be heading home. But Karin never made it home. At 8:42, she sent a message to the family WhatsApp group: "Mom... Dad, if I don't come home, know that I love you." Her mother immediately called her. "Where are you? You said you were on your way home." Karin answered: "Mom, they're shooting at us. Mom, I'm scared. I'm terrified." That was their last conversation. Because of her broken leg, Karin could not run. As terrorists opened fire across the festival grounds, she and several other young people took shelter inside an ambulance. The ambulance was hit by an RPG. Everyone inside was killed and burned. That evening, Karin's parents desperately searched for her among the wounded, going from curtain to curtain and calling her name. She wasn't there. For 11 days, her family waited without knowing what had happened to her. On the 11th day, officials came to their home and told them Karin had been identified. Her mother refused to bury her unless she knew for certain it was her. Karin had several small tattoos, and she asked to see any sign that could identify her. Then she was told there was nothing left to see. Karin had been identified by DNA from three teeth. Three teeth. That was what her family buried. After 137 days, Karin's watch was found. It was completely burned. A beautiful 24-year-old woman, full of life, left home to dance with her friends. What remained were three teeth and a burned watch. We will never forget.

Children As Young As Five Are Being Promised As Brides In Britain Ayaan Hirsi Ali's newsletter this week put a number in front of the public that deserved far more attention than it has received. Between 2021 and 2025, Britain's Forced Marriage Unit received at least 100 referrals involving children aged 12 or under. Sixty-two were 10 or younger. Twenty-seven were five or younger. These are Home Office figures, obtained through a Freedom of Information request, not campaigners' estimates. A referral does not always mean a wedding took place. The Home Office defines it as information about an actual, potential or suspected forced marriage, and officials note that cases involving very young children often involve a promise of future marriage rather than an imminent ceremony. That caveat should not bring anyone much comfort. A promise made over a five-year-old still fixes her future before she can read, before she can choose a friend, before she has any capacity to understand what has been decided for her. The scale runs deeper than the headline number suggests. Nine referrals in 2022 alone involved children 12 or under with no overseas element at all. No flight abroad, no wedding conducted in another country and quietly ignored on return. Arranged, and in some cases carried out, entirely on British soil. Whatever explanation is offered for this practice, distance is not one of them. The breakdown by background, reported by GB News from Forced Marriage Unit data, shows Pakistani nationals accounting for 41 per cent of cases, Bangladeshi nationals 9 per cent, and Afghan nationals 7 per cent. Dr Taj Hargey, founder of the Oxford Institute for British Islam, has said such cases should be "condemned without fear of upsetting anyone" by Muslim communities themselves, and that such practices deserve total condemnation. A reformist Muslim academic naming the problem plainly is worth more than a dozen politicians speaking in euphemism. Dame Jasvinder Sanghera, who fled her own forced marriage at fourteen, calls the number of very young children involved "deeply disturbing." She has also warned that many cases never reach the authorities at all, which means the true figure is almost certainly higher than what any FOI request can capture. Dr Rakib Ehsan makes the same point: most of these children never enter the system in the first place, because a referral depends on someone, a teacher, a neighbour, a relative, being willing to raise the alarm. That willingness is precisely where the failure sits. Sanghera has specifically flagged the return to school each September as the moment a child who has quietly vanished from a classroom becomes visible again, assuming anyone is looking. A missing pupil is not a mystery. It is a data point that schools, social services and police already hold the tools to notice. What they have lacked, repeatedly, in this case as in others, is the willingness to ask an uncomfortable question about a specific community for fear of where the answer leads. Forced marriage has been a criminal offence in Britain for over a decade. Since 2023, the law closes the previous loophole that let sixteen and seventeen year olds marry with parental consent. None of that legislation reaches a five-year-old quietly promised to a future husband inside her own home, because no ceremony has yet occurred for any law to punish. The gap between what the law criminalises and what is actually happening to these children is exactly where this practice survives. Britain does not need a new definition of forced marriage. It needs professionals willing to ask why a child has stopped turning up, and to keep asking until they get an honest answer. "The breakdown by background shows Pakistani nationals accounting for 41 per cent of cases, Bangladeshi nationals 9 per cent, and Afghan nationals 7 per cent."

They were literally offered a state less than one year prior to this. Clinton presented his final "bridging proposals" (The Clinton Parameters) to both sides in December 2000. Palestine would retain 92% of the West Bank, and all of Gaza. Israel voted to accept, then Palestine collapsed the talks. This remains the closest moment to Palestine obtaining statehood, since the entire Arab world invaded Israel the day it came into modern existence. It was brokered by America, and this is how America was thanked.
Mass celebrations break out in the West Bank and Gaza, and Palestinians cheer, dance, and distribute free sweets. Palestine is the only known place on earth to see overwhelming popular celebration of yesterday’s attacks, although Yasser Arafat condemned the attacks and denied responsibility yesterday.
