I always warned you that allowing the "Palestine" riots to fester would lead to pogroms.
European governments are led by cowed imbeciles, who are afraid of using the violence needed to defeat those, who work to destroy Europe: russia, trump, Palestinians, musk, etc.

French journalist Paul Amar:
“They came prepared. They had the addresses of town halls. They had addresses of Jewish shop owners.
In a street in Marseille, all businesses owned by Jews were set on fire. Businesses run by Muslims weren’t”

According to the Palestinian Authority's official school textbooks for grades 6 through 9:
• The Canaanites were Arabs
• Palestine grew tomatoes and potatoes in the 600s
• Muslims invented zero and reached America in the 800s
• The Third Crusade was in 1291, sent by "Britain"
• George Washington declared independence at the "Third Philadelphia Congress"
• World War I was fought by the Axis
• Israel burned al-Aqsa
• A terrorist who killed 13 children on a bus killed "soldiers"
• Ancient Israel did not exist
This is what UNRWA and PA schools are teaching to children.
Let's take a journey through the Palestinian Authority's fantasy world.

Antisemitism is hate. Hate crimes demand accountability.
New Yorkers deserve an Attorney General who will take action against hate crimes.

For decades, Israeli regional strategy was based on the premise that the way to secure peace was through giving up land. Now they're testing the opposite proposition, that you get peace through taking the land your enemy uses to attack you and threatening to take more if they can't behave themselves. Wonder what brought about this change. The world may never know

🇱🇧🇮🇱 During a tour yesterday by Defense Minister Israel Katz of the western sector of the security zone in Lebanon, he was briefed on several key developments and figures. The briefing also outlined the military operation the IDF is expected to carry out if Hezbollah violates the ceasefire.
- The IDF controls a security zone covering approximately 700 square kilometers—nearly twice the size of the Gaza Strip. The zone stretches from the Mediterranean coast in the west to the Beaufort Castle, the Ali Taher Ridge, and the outskirts of Mount Hermon in the east. According to the briefing, the IDF is maintaining a strong defense of communities in the Galilee.
- Under the “Silver Plow” plan, initiated by the defense minister with the backing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, more than 60 Lebanese villages within the security zone, up to the Yellow Line, have reportedly been completely destroyed. These include Bint Jbeil and sites described as major symbols of Hassan Nasrallah and Hezbollah. Three Christian villages remain in the area and are receiving support from Israel.
- Approximately 23,000 homes have been destroyed. Among the affected locations is Mansoura, a 1,200-year-old Shiite village that reportedly became a Hezbollah stronghold, complete with tunnels and weapons stockpiles. The village is now uninhabited, and all its homes have been destroyed.
- Approximately 200,000 Shiite residents of the security zone remain displaced and have not returned to their homes.
- All strategic and tactical tunnels are being located and destroyed. Additional weapons and military equipment are discovered daily and either destroyed or seized.
If Hezbollah violates the ceasefire, the IDF is expected to launch an operation to seize the Nabatieh area, followed by a ground offensive westward along the Litani River toward the Mediterranean coast. The stated objective would be to encircle and isolate approximately 2,000 Radwan Force operatives currently located in 140 villages between the Yellow Line and the Litani River, after the civilian population has been evacuated northward.

Stabbed. Robbed. Pushed onto the tracks. The subways have become a mess. Let’s stop the violence at the gates.

“From the river to the sea” isn’t so fun when it’s the Seine to the Mediterranean, huh?

Sure, saving everyone aboard Flight FZ1073 was nice. But Mehdi Hasan getting absolutely pulverized by the internet in response is still far and away the best part of this whole thing

People think the conflict will end when Israel’s enemies starts seeing them as peace partners, but maybe the conflict will end once Israelis start seeing their “peace partners” as enemies.
Israeli officials were caught off guard when Riyadh refused to approve a civilian rescue flight out of Saudi Arabia, per i24NEWS correspondent Amichai Stein. Political and security figures had been confident the Saudis would agree. El Al submitted a proposal, so did the Israeli Air Force, and an unmarked aircraft was floated as an option. All were turned down. The stranded Israelis ultimately flew out on a FlyDubai flight.
Hero pilot Captain Smit Machchhar likely faces a long and grueling recovery. Can we organize a gofundme or unlimited Abulafia bakery or something? Let’s turn this nightmare into a blessing

Deleted this post because I got this wrong — YCombinator has no affiliation with YC Bench.
Abhorrent behavior by @Mostaphabenh but not attributable to YC.
Mea culpa — I got this one wrong. YC Bench is apparently not associated whatsoever with @ycombinator.
Thanks to those who pointed it out.

And everyone was saying this in 2024. The way to end the war required Hamas to surrender. Every time the administration pressured or blocked Israel, Hamas became more recalcitrant, knowing its strategy of putting civilians in harm’s way was working.

As a former NYPD lieutenant, I’ll give you the inside scoop on these protests:
Cops hate them. No one wants to work these details. You actively try to avoid the desk in order to not be notified of these.
You get to the detail and usually the “Free Palestine” crowd is on one side of the street and the pro-Israel side is on the other. You then spend the next couple hours trying to stop the “Free Palestine” crowd from physically attacking the pro-Israel crowd.
After that, the “Free Palestine” crowd will march and shut down traffic. Along the way, they’ll disrupt sidewalk cafes, random passersby, and anyone who they think might be Jewish.
Then they’ll find a place to stop, where they’ll harass cops, take their names and shield numbers, and threaten to doxx them. They’ll even pick fights with cops and do things so the cops will be forced to move in and arrest them. That’s where they’ll film their infamous YouTube videos highlighting “police brutality.” Mind you, the cops have been actively trying to protect them the entire time, but propaganda is needed.
After a 15 hour day, the cops are finally cut loose, waiting for the impending CCRB accusations.
… and everyone wonders why recruitment and retainment are down.

A man in Mexico risks his life to save someone, then casually goes back to work.
The business actually gave the man a $20,000 reward for saving the girl.
He was in the crowd at a big Lucha Libre wrestling event recently and they showed him on-screen along with this video. The crowd gave him a big cheer.
The world needs more celebrating normal folk doing good things for sure.

THESE ARE THE LUNCH/BAR TAB RULES
1. Law students NEVER pay if out with a lawyer
2. If there are two lawyers, the senior lawyer pays
3. A junior lawyer MAY pay only if he insists because he is trying to make a show of appreciation or respect, and refusing his offer would be an insult. Only applies if it is a two lawyer lunch.
4. If two equal lawyers, the one in his home town pays. Splitting is allowed if they are both from town, or both not from town. Otherwise, he who gets his card to the waitress first, wins.
5. If more than two lawyers, and splitting the check would result in something other than a 50-50 split (because you have an associate with you or whatnot) he who is responsible for more than 50% of the check anyway shall pay the whole check.
6. Except in scenarios 1 or 3, it is acceptable to allow the non payer to contribute the tip, but the tip must be excessive.
