'Israel, the Dreyfus of Nations': Interview with Joël Rubinfeld – Part 1 gatestoneinstitute.org/22483/joel-rub…

Die Hochschulleitung der Kunsthochschule Burg Giebichenstein in #Halle muss Verantwortung übernehmen und erkennen, dass sie innerhalb ihrer Studentenschaft ein massives #Antisemitismus-Problem haben. Volle Solidarität mit der Jüdischen Gemeinde Halle!

You never see this. You never see celebrities show genuine care for a cause that neither benefits them, nor earns validation from their tribe for performing allegiance to the script. For feigning concern over narrowly-chosen victims—while ignoring global deprivation that doesn’t sell—because it earns them applause in a culture of moral narcissism. I don't know that I've ever seen non-Iranian celebrities wearing pins or showing public solidarity to us in this way, despite Iranians being the victims of the worst massacre of our time. Hard to believe, isn't? In a world of a selective humanity, moral performance, and stomach-turning hypocrisy, they are beacons of light.

Israel will transfer jet fuel to Germany at Berlin’s request, following the crisis in Hormuz. The Ministry of Energy confirmed that there are “production surpluses available for export,” and Foreign Minister Saar informed the German Minister of Economy of the decision. In addition, the possibility of assistance regarding natural gas will be examined.

Imagine, if you will, the Middle East as a neighborhood. On one side of the street, you’ve got the United Arab Emirates. The UAE is that guy who used to live in a tent but won the literal geological lottery and decided, instead of buying a fleet of gold-plated jet skis and retiring, he was going to build a cyberpunk forest in the middle of a literal furnace. The UAE is what happens when a country looks at a desolate, 120-degree sand dune and says, “You know what this needs? A climate-controlled indoor ski resort and a branch of the Louvre.” They’ve basically speed-run three hundred years of Western development in about forty. They’ve got high-speed rail, Mars probes, and a vibe that says, "We’ve decided that having a functioning economy is more fun than shouting at clouds." Then, you’ve got Iran. Iran is the neighbor who lives in a house where the plumbing hasn’t worked since 1979, but they refuse to call a plumber because they’re convinced the plumber is a CIA plant sent to steal their spiritual purity. Iran is governed by a group of guys whose primary policy platform is "Being Extremely Grumpy About Everything." They’ve spent forty years trying to convince the world that the pinnacle of human achievement is a very specific type of frown and a centrifuge that occasionally makes scary noises. Iran isn't hitting the UAE because they’re neighbors. They’re hitting them because the UAE is a walking, talking existential crisis for the Ayatollah. See, the Islamic Republic’s entire brand is built on a single, desperate lie: “You can either be a good Muslim, or you can have nice things. You can’t have both because the nice things are poisoned by the Great Satan.” Then the UAE shows up, sipping an iced latte, signing the Abraham Accords with Israel, and partnering with Washington. They’re proof that you can keep the faith, keep the culture, and still participate in the "Western Civilizational Package" without the universe exploding. To Tehran, the UAE is a giant, neon-lit middle finger. Every time a new tech startup opens in Dubai, an Angel gets its wings and a Mullah loses his mind. Iran looks at the UAE and sees a glitch in the Matrix. It’s an extension of the Western order, that place where "openness" isn't a dirty word, and "integration" isn't a conspiracy. Because if an Arab Muslim state can be successful, modern, and friendly with the West, then the last forty years of Iranian "revolutionary" suffering have been a pointless, self-inflicted wound. And nothing stings more than watching your neighbor throw a block party with the people you’ve spent your whole life telling everyone are "monsters." Iran isn't just fighting a war over borders or oil. They’re fighting a war against the terrifying possibility that people actually like air conditioning and international trade more than they like miserable, state-mandated martyrdom. The UAE is the living, breathing proof that Iran’s founding ideology is just a very expensive, very depressing hobby. So yeah, Tehran strikes. Because when you’ve built your entire identity on being the "Alternative to the West," nothing is more dangerous than the guy next door who just figured out how to be the best version of it.

Sergey Brin, Google’s co-founder, wore the Lion and Sun Iranian flag at the Met Gala yesterday. Thank you Sergey! 🇮🇷

.@lalshareef: “Several Arab states promised that if UAE 🇦🇪 is attacked, they will send support. None. Only Israel 🇮🇱 stepped in. Even people who used to hate @netanyahu, now say ‘he is a great man, a great leader’. He proved that he stands by his allies.”

I have some things to say.

The UAE is a model for the future of Arab and Muslim nations: building bridges with Jewish and Christian countries, choosing modernity over fanaticism, and peace over endless war. That is exactly why the Islamist mullah regime attacks them. The UAE represents the secular, prosperous Muslim society Islamists fear most. Just in February, the UAE pledged $1.7 billion to help rebuild Gaza. Yet the so-called “Free Palestine” movement is celebrating attacks on them. That tells you everything. This movement was never about helping Palestinians. It is about serving the Islamist “Axis of Resistance.” As an Arab Muslim, like millions of Arab Muslims, I stand with the UAE 🇦🇪

😱 Je suis littéralement choquée ! Le représentant d’Israël Noam Bettan est obligé de répéter sa chanson « Michelle » avec son équipe qui lui simule des huées et des cris hostiles… Tout ça pour s’habituer au public qui pourrait être contre lui le soir de l’Eurovision. Il dit que « ça l’aide vraiment beaucoup ». Pression mentale + physique complètement dingue. C’est inadmissible en 2026. 🤯 #Eurovision2026 #NoamBettan #Michelle

The deafening lies about Israel and the Jews jns.org/opinion/column…

Anti-Zionists who condemn antisemitic crimes are gaslighting us jns.org/opinion/column… Attempts to separate the movement to accomplish the genocide of half the world’s Jews in Israel from attacks on them elsewhere have zero credibility.

Good Afternoon from Mount Lebanon 😎
