EXCLUSIVE - Hegseth said today that “family after family” of the service members killed in the Iran war told him: “Finish this. Honor their sacrifice. Do not waver. Do not stop until the job is done.” But a father who met with Hegseth tells @Petereporter he never said that

Narrator: It was, in fact, true of most Israelis
Bevan Robert Jones@ThriveCentreZA

@ori_goldberg I'm not sure it's fair to Israelis to pitch Netanyahu as the quintessential Israeli. Netanyahu is a cold, calculating psycopath whose only desire is to eradicate non-Jews and enlarge the state of Israel. Surely that cannot be true of most Israelis.

It’s just an extension of the Gaza logic, the society as a whole is guilty by association and therefore not allowed to have anything beyond Stone Age life.

Nobody in the United States is more maniacally determined to police speech and punish difference of opinion than the US's campus Israel fanatics. Their cause is so poisonous and unpopular they are forced to harass, intimidate, persecute critics of any sort.

Here's what Columbia PhD students say about Jews and Israelis behind closed doors.🧵Since 10/7, grad students in the union have: - Convinced @Columbia's anthropology dept. to NOT discipline instructors for discrimination if it's Palestine-related (#10 below) - Said Persian Jews were "one of the most fascist" demographics in America (#17) - Shot down a resolution to condemn "anti-Israeli hatred" and national origin discrimination because "I don't want to normalize Israel as a 'nation state' " (#12) - Complained about "Zionist arbitrators" inside Columbia's anti-discrimination office during workplace retaliation cases (#11) - Openly discussed going "on the offensive" inside classrooms and doing "teach-ins in our classes" on Palestine (#10) - Said they were "very tempted" to try to claim a piece of Columbia's $21 million antisemitism settlement fund, even though this student was not Jewish (#16) These PhD students have current or past research and teaching positions at Columbia, including with undergrads. If you think you've seen all the antisemitism, pro-terror, and anti-Israel activity from Columbia there is to see, buckle up. I've reported some of this in @TheFP previously, but here's a fuller picture.

WATCH: Journalist @samhusseini calls out the Russian and Chinese governments for claiming that the reason they didn't veto the resolution endorsing the so-called “Board of Peace” at the UN was because “the Arabs” (including the PA) told them not to “There's a divide between the Arab people and the Arab governments...” “Any Arab government that so much as looked at the United States in the wrong way — be it Iraq, or Syria, or Libya, or whoever — got decapitated...” “This is a ridiculous statement, to cite these quislings of the United States as representatives of ‘the Arabs’ after any independent Arab governments have been decapitated...” “Iraq was decapitated with the acquiescence of the Chinese and Russian governments...”
Decensored News@decensorednews

MUST SEE: Musician and activist Roger Waters questions Russian ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy about why Russia didn't veto the US's resolution at the UN Security Council in November endorsing the so-called “Board of Peace.” “No matter what we think, no matter what we do, we can't be more Palestinian and more Arab than Arabs themselves,” Polyanskiy says. “It’s their region.” “Palestinians were asking us not to veto this resolution... Palestinians who work in the UN. And they represent—they are supposed to represent their country. The whole Arab group, the Palestinian, Islamic group, by the way, was also asking us not to veto this resolution...” “[Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour] said this is the first [step]... this is the first step, he said. ‘Let’s try it, let’s put it in motion, and then we’ll see how it develops.’...” “The golden rule is to listen to the region. And of course when Palestinians asked us not to veto it, what could we do? We had to abstain...” This is original, unedited audio from a podcast recorded last month (details below).

“Plaintiffs are entitled to their own interpretive lens equating anti-Zionism (as they define it) and antisemitism. But it is another matter altogether to insist that others must be bound by plaintiffs’ view”

Efforts to shut down pro-Palestinian speech face series of setbacks in court in the US. Rulings in cases alleging antisemitism on US campuses say common pro-Palestinian speech is constitutionally protected theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

Huh? FIFA is rejecting calls to ban Israel by saying "the final legal status of the West Bank remains an unresolved & highly complex matter under public international law." …But in 2024, the International Court of Justice ruled Israel's occupation of the West Bank is illegal.
Rob Harris@RobHarris

NEW: FIFA rejects calls to ban Israel: "Should take no action given that, in the context of the interpretation of the relevant provisions of the FIFA Statutes, the final legal status of the West Bank remains an unresolved & highly complex matter under public international law"

I don’t get why Japanese speakers struggle so much with word-final consonants. It’s literally the same sounds they pronounce at the beginning and in the middle of words. It’s not like they pronounce アイス “aiu”, like how they say “aisu” for “ice”
Kuuhaku@Kuuhaku3993

I don't get why English speakers struggle so much with the "tsu" sound. It's literally the same as in the word "sports". It's not like they pronounce it "spors" like how they say "soonami"

@matnequa @patapackala “Tsunami” and アイス are both loanwords subject to phonotactic constraints in their respective languages

@patapackala @AlCabbage045 well, my friends usually call me beth :) but my real issue with the original post is with the equivocation of "errors" resulting from a second-language accent & those resulting from a phonotactic constraint on borrowings!

“Baal” is an ironic insult here. In the Iron Age, he was the national gold of Tyre and other Phoenician city-states in what’s now Lebanon, and was seen as a rival to Yahweh in Israel
