@bpschut Iedereen die niet zowel Israël als Oekraïne of het Iraanse volk ondersteunt is voor mij ongeloofwaardig. Geen concept van vrijheid, zelfbeschikkingsrecht, nationbuilding in 19e en 20e eeuw en ga zo maar door.

Of course it makes the world better off. For a while. But how long before they’re back doing all of that? Reinvigorated because they survived what USA had to throw at them. Not good.

@TimesRadio @afneil Yeah destroying their capacity to make drones, missiles, decimating their air force and navy , stopping them funding terror doesn't leave the world better off....? I'm shocked at this statement.

@Boreout Europa valt al om als er één keer wordt geblazen. Alleen Amerika kan ons behoeden voor een wereld vol waanzinnige, autocratische regimes met kernwapens. Maar in Europa denken domme lui als jij dat vrijheid gratis is.

Trump denkt echt dat de NAVO gewoon een ordinaire knokploeg van de VS is. De VS gaat daar nog flink spijt van krijgen, straks helemaal alleen in de wereld.

The Iron Dome isn’t necessarily to protect Israel. It’s there to protect the people constantly attacking Israel. If Israel didn’t have a way to shoot down missiles, they would have to neutralise the threat, at all cost. If every missile from Hamas hit homes, and killed people—I don’t think there would be a Gaza left. Despite what you hear, Israel consistently fights with one arm tied behind its back. It literally tells people where—and when—a strike is coming. They actually care about human life. Defences like the Iron Dome allow them to endure more, before acting. It makes them long suffering—even as the world lies about their military conduct. Israel’s enemies are genuinely retarded. They will continue firing projectiles forever, no matter how often they lose. No matter how many deals they’re offered. Leftists think it’s a good thing to remove Israel’s defensive weapons. Doing that is begging to see more brutal wars, with more casualties, more often. But hey, I don’t expect these people to think about the consequences of things.

AOC has committed to voting against any spending on arms for Israel, including "defensive" capabilities like the Iron Dome, at tonight's NYC-DSA electoral forum

An Arab commentator shocks the interviewer: "Israel was here before all of us. The Jews are the world's first religion. Islam didn’t exist 4,000 years ago. There was the Kingdom of Israel. This land belongs to the Jews. Never been a country called Palestine" This must go viral.

@LauraStarink1 Je belichaamt zelf de zwakte en lafheid van een Europa dat denkt dat vrijheid gratis is. Oekraine laten vechten met de handen op de rug gebonden. Iran is de grootste bondgenoot van Rusland, maar je haat tegen Israel en Amerika (Trump) maken je blind daarvoor. Teleurstellend.

Iran en haar proxies zijn gedecimeerd. De dreiging van een NoordKorea in het MiddenOosten is voorlopig van de baan. De olieprijs zakt weer. Al het defaitistische gejammer van Europa zegt veel over de gevaarlijke zwakte en inmiddels institutionele lafheid van dit continent.

TOTAL FAILURE: Iran’s trump card was taking the global economy down with them if they were attacked. The IRGC has been decimated and will never recover. And they can’t even keep oil above $100.

If the IRA had 150k missiles on England's border + fired 14k at civilians, or parachuted into Glastonbury, murdered teenagers, dragged their bodies through belfast with Irish people spitting on corpes, kidnapped babies and partied around their coffins - Ireland would be a crater.
James Melville 🚜@JamesMelville

Parts of Gaza, Lebanon and Iran are being flattened. Thousands of innocent children have been killed. Millions of people displaced. And before anyone says “But, Hamas, Hezbollah”…Imagine if Britain had done the same to Ireland after the IRA bombings? You cannot justify this.

There’s a lot of hatred towards Israel right now, and I think a lot of people are looking at this situation with absolutely no historical perspective. No country on Earth would tolerate what Israel has lived with since 1948. We’re talking about a country that was invaded the moment it was created. Multiple wars. Suicide bombings. Bus bombings. Rockets fired into civilian neighborhoods. Children growing up with bomb shelters as a normal part of life. Sirens going off and people having seconds to run for cover. Hostages taken. Civilians massacred. And people expect them to just sit there and do nothing? Americans talk big about freedom and security, but the truth is Americans could not live like that for 70+ years. If rockets were being fired into Texas or California for decades, if terrorists crossed the border and killed 1,000 Americans in one day, the response would be overwhelming and it would not even be debated. It would be finished quickly and decisively. But when Israel responds, suddenly the world holds them to a completely different standard than every other country on Earth. Another thing people don’t want to talk about is history. The Jewish connection to that land is not something that started in 1948. It goes back thousands of years. Archaeology, recorded history, ancient kingdoms, temples, language, culture - all tied to that land long before most modern countries even existed. Meanwhile countries like America, Australia, Canada - we can’t even make that same historical claim to the land in the same way. So if we’re going to be honest and fair, we have to be consistent. Either every country has the right to defend its citizens and exist in security, or they don’t. But singling out one country in the world and expecting them to live under constant attack, constant terrorism, constant threats of destruction, and then condemning them every time they respond is not fairness. That’s politics.

@CKrullemans @dirkvdbogaert Antisemieten als Dirk denken dat Auschwitz een soort opvoedingsinstituut voor de 'betere mens' was. Nou Dirk, zie het meer als een soort militaire academie, zodat elke smeerlap zoals jij, of ze nu Belg, Iraniër of neppalestijn zijn, het voor de kiezen kan krijgen wanneer nodig.

I'm trying to imagine the alternative history of WW2 if it looked like this war, and what the coverage might look like "It's January 11th, 1942, one month after Hitler declared war on the United States. Hitler, Goering, Bohrmann, and Himmler were all killed in an allied bombing attack on Hitler's headquarters, along with fifty other members of the German High Command. 95% of entire German navy is resting at the bottom of the North Sea. The Luftwaffe is no more. Allied aircraft achieved complete air superiority over Germany within 48 hours of the war's start. Still, many sophisticated commentators are saying that the Third Reich has the upper hand, because they have shut down travel through the Danish straits."

Misschien niet oninteressant: de initiatiefnemer van de uitbreiding van de doodstraf, Limor Son Har-Melech MK, overleefde zelf een terreuraanslag. In 2003, 7 maanden zwanger, werd haar auto door 🇵🇸 beschoten; haar man stierf. Zij moest via spoedkeizersnede bevallen. De moordenaar, een lid van de De Al-Aqsa-martelarenbrigade, werd vrijgelaten in het kader van van de ruilacties om de gijzelaars van 7/10 te bevrijden.

@joelpollak We have lived under Israeli rule since 1967, with no Palestinian independence in sight. More settlements are being constructed. At what point do we have to accept that we are living in a "one state solution" but without citizenship?

Appeasing the antisemitic left. It’s not a two-tiered system. It’s the same for all enemies of the state. Israeli murderers are tried in civilian court; they are citizens. Palestinian murderers are tried in military court because they are enemy combatants in a disputed territory.
Rep. Dan Goldman@RepDanGoldman

Absolutely abhorrent. This law unambiguously creates a two tiered system of justice based entirely on which form of extremism is deemed acceptable. I pray Israeli courts do the right thing and strike it down. Israel’s future must remain democratic. Its survival depends on it. nytimes.com/2026/03/30/wor…

Anna Nina@annaninii

Giovanni di Lorenzo sitzt bei Hotel Matze und seziert in zweieinhalb Minuten den Untergang der deutschen Sozialdemokratie mit einer Präzision und Offenheit, die man sich auch von seinen eigenen ZEIT-Redakteuren wünschen würde! Sein Befund ist von brutaler Einfachheit: Die SPD hat aufgehört, ihre eigenen Leute zu verstehen. Nicht aus Versehen. Aus Verachtung. Die Partei, die einmal wusste, was einen Vorarbeiter in Gelsenkirchen nachts wach hält, hat sich in die Sprachlabore der Berliner Moralpädagogik zurückgezogen und von dort aus begonnen, ihrer Wählerschaft (Ex-Wählerschaft) zu erklären, wie sie zu reden, zu denken und sich zu verkleiden hat. Di Lorenzo bringt die Beispiele, an denen sich die ganze Erbärmlichkeit dieser Entwicklung ablesen lässt. Enkelkinder, die das Wort "Indianer" nicht mehr sagen dürfen. Eine Seniorengruppe, die bei der BUGA keinen Sombrero tragen soll, weil irgendein Befindlichkeitswächter Gefühlsverletzungen wittert. Ein ZDF, das mit seinen Nachrichtenformaten sprachlich so weit vorgeprescht ist, dass sich die Zuschauer in ihrem eigenen Sender nicht mehr wiedererkennen. Was hier stattgefunden hat, ist die feindliche Übernahme einer Volkspartei durch die Seminar-Bourgeoisie. Anpassungsdruck bei Sprache, bei Sitten, bei allem, was das Alltagsleben der Normalbürger berührt. Und das Perfide daran: Die woken Milieus leugnen bis heute, dass dieser Druck existiert. Oder sie erklären ihn für "maßlos übertrieben" 🙃 Oder beides gleichzeitig, je nach Tagesform. Di Lorenzo nennt das Ergebnis "Reaktanz". Ein psychologischer Fachbegriff für etwas, das sich viel einfacher sagen lässt: Die Leute haben die Schnauze voll. Sie gehen nicht auf die Barrikaden. Sie gehen einfach. Leise. Zur AfD. Ins Nichtwähler-Lager. Irgendwohin, wo ihnen niemand erklärt, dass ihr Sprachgebrauch eine Zumutung ist. Und die SPD steht bei 13 Prozent und betreibt Ursachenforschung wie ein Arzt, der sich weigert, den Patienten anzuschauen. Was di Lorenzo hier beschreibt, ist der Preis der Luxusverwahrlosung. Eine Partei, die den Kontakt zu ihrem eigenen Milieu für ein Distinktionsprojekt geopfert hat. Wer seine Wähler für rückständig hält, hat keine Wähler verdient.

The best antidote for the far-right in Europe is for the mainstream parties to start looking different from each other again. Conservatives should move to the right, social-democrats to the left and the liberals should finally be liberals. No one needs cloned technocratic parties.

The internet censoring in Russian urban areas has done more to rattle the status quo than hundreds of thousands of dead Russian soldiers and a million emigres. This tells you everything you need to know about solidarity in Russian society - there is none.

Amazing how reality punches straight through the narrative. A country that literally shares a border with Israel… Has a majority population of Palestinian origin… Sits in one of the most unstable regions on Earth… And yet - it’s still standing. That country is Jordan. Let’s get brutally honest about why. PEACE OVER CHAOS In 1994, Jordan signed a peace treaty with Israel. Not protests. No chaos. A real agreement. Secure borders No staging attacks from either side Intelligence + counterterrorism cooperation Result? While neighbors burned - Syria collapsed into civil war, Iraq got ripped apart by insurgency and militias - Jordan stayed intact. STABILITY ISN’T FREE — IT’S BUILT Jordan isn’t some rich powerhouse. ▶️ ~11.5 million people ▶️ ~50–70% of Palestinian origin ▶️ Lower-middle income ▶️ No oil wealth By every “activist logic” metric… it should have fallen. It didn’t. Why? Because it made strategic deals that actually work. HARD REALITY: MUTUAL BENEFITS This is what cooperation looks like in the real world: WATER One of the most water-scarce countries on Earth Receives 50–100+ million cubic meters annually from Israel ENERGY Israeli natural gas powers ~60% of Jordan’s electricity TRADE Industrial goods, agriculture, infrastructure support SECURITY Joint intelligence Border control Counterterrorism coordination Translation: No rockets. No terror launchpads. No chaos spillover. THE RESULT? No ISIS takeover. No Iranian proxy domination. No collapse into failed-state status. While others chose ideology… Jordan chose survival and stability. HERE’S THE PART PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO SAY Jordan has a massive Palestinian population. Yet instead of turning itself into a frontline battlefield, it built a system that keeps its people alive, functioning, and sovereign. That’s not betrayal. That’s leadership. FINAL THOUGHT You can scream slogans all day. Or… You can build agreements that deliver: Water Power Security Stability One path gets people killed. The other keeps a country standing. Jordan chose correctly.
