BREAKING: the Mossad has publicly confirmed for the first time that Israel has formally identified Qatar as responsible for hostile influence and incitement campaigns linked to the Gaza war. The confirmation came in a direct response to accusations by Mk Avigdor Liberman, who alleged that the Mossad continued relations with Qatar despite its role in incitement. He refered to the meeting in NYC two weeks ago. The Mossad's response makes clear that Israel demands Doha to change course: “The only media-related issue raised in the meeting was a clear and unequivocal demand by the United States and Israel that Qatar act regarding the negative coverage by Al Jazeera, which encourages hatred, antisemitism, and terrorism. And a clear demand that Qatar cease the dissemination of false narratives and incitement against the State of Israel worldwide, operated by Qatar across platforms.” More about this story here- nadave.substack.com/p/israel…

Today is Jewish Refugees Day. We remember 850,000 Jews forced out of Arab states and Iran in the 20th century. Communities 2,500 years old were destroyed. At the United Nations, I asked Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, and the others: “Where are your Jews?” Still waiting for an answer.

Behold revisionist history. On November 29, 1947, the UN approved a partition plan creating two states — one Jewish and one Arab. The Jews accepted it. The Palestinian leadership and Arab states rejected it and launched a war. That pattern hasn’t changed: • 2000 Camp David peace offer: rejected. • 2001 Taba talks: rejected. • 2008 Olmert proposal: rejected. @AndrewKnack also omits mention of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the decades of violence and refusal to accept any peace that includes a Jewish state in any borders. Solidarity requires truth — not rewriting a history in which Palestinian leaders repeatedly rejected statehood in their effort to destroy the Jewish state.
Tonight, I had the privilege to join the Canadian Palestinian Cultural Association at City Hall to proclaim November 29, 2025 as the International Day of Solidarity With The Palestinian People, here in Edmonton - Alberta’s capital city. This day was established by the United Nations in 1977, a date chosen to mark the anniversary of the UN’s resolution on the partition of Palestine. It is dedicated by the international community to reflect, remember and reaffirm our commitment to the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people. November 29 is a day for hope, for dialogue and for the pursuit of a just and lasting peace. And so today, the City of Edmonton stands in solidarity. Here in Edmonton, this solidarity is not an abstract concept. It is lived. It is vibrant. It is a core part of our city. We are gathered on Treaty 6 territory, a land with its own history of striving for rights and recognition. And it is on this land that a large and diverse Palestinian community has put down roots, enriching Alberta in countless ways.

Here are the tweets I wrote on October 7th after seeing half this app, including professors in my university, gleefully celebrate the massacre. There was no goodwill. Quite the opposite, in fact. The terrifying evil that erupted globally on that day changed how I view the world forever.
Kind of astounding how badly Israel has fumbled arguably the largest immediate reserves of international goodwill that any country has had since 9/11.

3/3 … “McGurk’s bottom line: ‘This war could have stopped at multiple times, if Hamas stopped the war and released hostages.’”
2/3 …until six weeks later, when it ‘fundamentally changed the whole thing.’ Back to the drawing board. Then on August 16, another deal was offered, this time one that ‘had about 95% of what Hamas wanted, and again they did not say yes, they did not answer.’

In my latest for the @nationalpost which I co-authored with Alan Kessel, we argue that Ukraine and Israel are fighting two fronts in the same war — and that for a variety of reasons — the West must support both. Am Israel Chai & Slava Ukraini! nationalpost.com/opinion/ukr…

Official Fatah statement against Hamas: ‼️ ”You didn't consult anyone before you went for 7/10. You are responsible and you are guilty of the greatest disaster in the history of the Palestinian people. You want Iran to rule over us. Your leaders live in 7-star hotels abroad, they also moved their families [from Gaza], and we are paying the price of the war.” Israel is blamed too, of course. But the PA’s attack on Hamas is devestating. Also encouraging.
עשו לעצמכם טובה וקראו את הודעת תנועת הפת'ח נגד החמאס. אילו היתה תקשורת ישראלית ראויה לשמה, היא היתה מציגה את המאבק הפנים-פלסטיני, מסבירה בפירוט את ההבדלים בין פת'ח לחמאס, את מאבקי הכוח, את הבדלי הגישות, המטרות, האידאולוגיות. ומנתחת את המשמעויות. אבל אין. אז הנה, תקראו. חלקים מההודעה הזו היו יכולים להיכתב ע"י דובר הליכוד, אחרים ע"י דובר צה"ל. אבל הם נכתבו ע"י דוברי התנועה הלאומית הפלסטינית. כמובן, גם ישראל לא יוצאת חפה מפשע. אבל מה שמעניין לקרוא הוא הטיעונים נגד החמאס - לא התייעצתם עם אף אחד לפני שיצאתם ל-7/10 אתם אחראים ואתם אשמים באסון הכי גדול בתולדות העם הפלסטיני. אתם רוצים להמליך עלינו את איראן. המנהיגים שלכם חיים במלונות 7 כוכבים בחו"ל, הם הבריחו החוצה גם את משפחותיהם, ואנחנו משלמים את מחיר המלחמה. ויש עוד. תקראו.

Rather than trawling the internet for truncated quotes, we might want to investigate why so many of our self-appointed humanitarians have spent decades fantasizing about the day when they could drag the Jews in before a tribunal to face the charge of being the real Nazis. 20/20

That’s not an 🇮🇱 flag they’re ripping from him. It’s a 🇨🇦 flag, in Canada. Lest there be any doubt who they’re coming for next. Hats off to @SalmanSima. He is a fearless defender of our western values because he has seen first hand the dangers of living under a malign regime.
This is an excellent point. As a proud Canadian I always put my country first. 🇨🇦 Here's how the crowd reacted when @SalmanSima was holding the Canadian Flag. This is even more horrifying to me because this happened today in Toronto, Canada in 2023. They're not just attacking other countries. They're attacking the Canadian flag. On Canadian soil.

Hospitals should never be used as a launchpad to commit mass atrocities of rape and murder. The Geneva convention only protects you if you at least make the slightest effort to respect it.

On November 21, following a strike on Al Awda Hospital where he worked, Dr. Mahmoud and two other colleagues were killed. Al Awda was one of the few remaining functional hospitals in northern Gaza. Medical facilities and staff should never be a target.

"Remember: there was a ceasefire on Oct. 6 that Hamas broke by their barbaric assault on peaceful civilians and their kidnapping, their killing, their beheading, their terrible, inhumane savagery. There was a ceasefire. It did not hold because Hamas chose to break it."
Every. Word. Of. This. I don’t care if you like Hillary or not, do yourself a favor and spend 8 minutes learning something.

IDF Unit 8200, Israel's NSA, has the relevant SIGINT intercept. Now that Biden, and implicitly the US IC, have accepted Israel's version of this awful attack, everybody in the media who jumped on HAMAS' claims needs to publicly correct the record, stat.
IDF releases a recording of an intercepted phone call between two Hamas operatives who discuss the failed Islamic Jihad rocket that landed on the Gaza hospital.
