A woman who believes passionately in #FreedomOfSpeech and #FreedomOfExpression. Logic and pragmatism should win the day.






In 1977, the head of the PLO's military department gave an interview to a Dutch newspaper and said something that should have changed everything. He said Palestinian identity is emphasized for political reasons only. That a separate Palestinian identity exists for tactical reasons. That there are no real differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. His name was Zuher Mohsin. He wasn't a dissident. He wasn't breaking ranks. He was one of the architects of the movement and he said the quiet part out loud. Eight years earlier, Golda Meir had said the same thing and been destroyed for it. But that's not even the beginning of the story. The PLO was founded in 1964. Three years before Israel controlled the West Bank or Gaza. Whatever it was built to liberate, it wasn't land Israel acquired in 1967. Before Arafat, there was no Palestinian national identity. Not because the people weren't real. Because the identity hadn't been built yet. And Arafat built it the same way you build a city — founding story first, then institutions, symbols, a flag, a claim of ancient dispossession, and enough foreign funding to make it stick.

In the year 2000 there were half a million Muslims in Europe. Today there is 46 million. The great replacement is a conspiracy i promise🙄


t.co/oUMayrOZvr Muslims are crying “Islamophobia” after Marco Rubio officially announced that pro-Hamas foreigners and those who desecrate the American flag will be denied green cards. This is not Islamophobia. This is basic national security and common sense. If you support a terrorist group that rapes and murders Jews or you burn the American flag, you have no right to live in America. America First means keeping America safe from jihadists and their supporters. Thank you, Marco Rubio.


This image is perfectly emblematic of the modern West. Weak men, seated in the ruins of a civilisation built by better men.
