@grok @Money9Victor @Parodyjeffx @ grok why are you leaving ou that this was at the request of the family when Palestinian rabble rousers wanted to hijack the funeral

The 2022 incident at Shireen Abu Akleh's funeral (a Palestinian Christian Al Jazeera journalist killed in Jenin) involved Israeli police clashing with mourners in East Jerusalem: officers used batons, seized flags, and the casket nearly dropped amid crowd chaos. Police cited deviation from agreed route and thrown objects; it drew international criticism, but their internal probe cleared officers. Abu Akleh's funeral and burial proceeded. Christians (Arab and others) hold funerals freely across Israel and the Holy Land daily—churches, cemeteries, and processions operate normally under religious freedom laws, with ~185k Christians (1.9% population) practicing openly. No general ban exists; this was one tense, politicized event, not policy against Christian rites.

Israelis don’t allow Christians funeral in the Holy Land In 2022, Israel killed journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian Christian and then attacked her casket live on TV.

@ShawnRyan762 Have @rabbidanielrowe on to clarify please. Lester is sadly misinformed.

“Right now the goal is we need to tear down everything that’s there and build the next temple. There’s the Al-Aqsa mosque built on top of what they say was the temple. If you read through some of the Talmud, it’s kind of shocking, and there are things in there that people find hard to believe when they first see them.” @MichaelTLester

@linexsoccer @sarahadams @KyleKulinski Not to mention the fact that they wanted to enrich under an impenetrable mountain just because

@sarahadams @KyleKulinski Sure they were, that why they had enriched material to 60%. Right? Civilian energy production needs 20% maximum, usually 3-5% would suffice. There is no reasonable explanation for 60% enrichment other than weapons.

Words cannot describe how much I hate this man. Obama’s deal quite literally worked perfectly. Iran was a non issue. And he fucked it all up.

@Saul_Sadka There’s also a chance that the CIA was collecting intelligence on the Iranian Regime officials and not even investigating Tucker at all.

"Framing" someone for a crime would be, for example, writing your texts. Merely reading your texts is what is called "investigating" you for a crime.

@azaz_ovedya @RealCandaceO The cope is strong with this one.

@RealCandaceO Remember that time Ben Shapiro was on Charlie Kirk's show literally the day before he was killed by Tyler Robinson, and you weren't invited on his show at all for more than 5 years?

This right here is the behavior of a maggot rotting on a corpse. It is genuinely one of most despicable things that I have ever seen in politics that Ben Shapiro— WHO CHARLIE KIRK COULD NOT STAND AND WHO CHARLIE KIRK HIMSELF ROUTINELY EXPRESSED WAS A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING—has so shamelessly tried to reimagine himself as a guardian of Charlie’s legacy. EVERYONE in politics knows Charlie hated Ben. Everyone. Not a single person will dispute this narrative. It is plain sickening to watch him try to spend money to reintroduce himself as anything other than someone who was horrible jealous of Charlie and attempted to stop his rise, as he does to EVERYONE who is naturally more talented and intelligent than him. WHY WON’T TPUSA EXECS tell the truth about how Ben treated Charlie? How do you guys sleep at night allowing this tapeworm to feast off Charlie’s legacy. It costs nothing to tell the truth about who Ben Shapiro is and was to Charlie. You should be ASHAMED for allowing this despicable nerd anywhere near Charlie’s chair or what Charlie built, ever.

@MynameizUrDad @megynkelly Exactly this. Pretending it was out of the blue when Ben raised it publicly with her a few days earlier is completely disingenuous. Megyn makes a living calling out this stuff on the left, but won’t admit when she’s wrong.

Megyn, Ben did raise this issue to you directly, and your response at the time was that you’re “not the mother of the internet.” Remember that? Then a few days later you went on stage and essentially suggested Ben was misrepresenting things, while also defending Candace by arguing that she wasn’t accusing Erika of killing—or covering up—Charlie’s death. But that’s exactly how many people interpreted Candace’s commentary. And just because you didn’t mention Ben by name doesn’t change the substance of what happened. When you publicly addressed the issue the way you did, it still came across as a clear shot at his criticism.

You think protecting Erika means calling out Candace; I think if you don’t wish to call attention to a negative attack, don’t call attention to it. Does that work for you Ben? May I have your approval now? No, I don’t think so. Bc you and your little cohort of sick followers aren’t mad about anything involving me and Erika Kirk, who you barely know (trust me; I’ve checked). You turned on me when I wouldn’t de-friend Tucker whose criticism of Israel you can’t stand - and when I defended Candace’s questions about whether Charlie, before he was killed, was growing more skeptical of Israel (HE WAS). You’re right that, at Erika’s request, I tried to help her and Candace get to an okay place - an effort that failed and which now you mock - but Christians like me are pretty big on forgiveness and reconciliation. I tried to help you and Tucker get there too, remember? More of my “cowardice” I guess. One final point: you handled your anger toward me in the most despicable way possible. Did you call me? Text me? Raise it with me privately after all we had been thru together over the years? No, you attacked me on stage at the Turning Point event without so much as a heads-up. Bc you were too chicken shit to say it to my face. I texted you afterward and you never responded. You didn’t have the balls to have a face-to-face talk or even a text or call about it. You are the coward, Ben. And your moral preening, priggish lectures and holier-than-thou judgments are the reason you are losing fans and, more than that, friends, at a record rate. You always told me you were a “family guy” not a “friend guy.” I learned the hard way you really meant it.

@realJeremyCarl @mdubowitz Don’t insult Jim Cramer like that!

Those of us who are Gen X and older will recognize Thomas Friedman is the Jim Cramer of Middle East political analysis. So this is an incredibly bullish signal that Trump has a pretty good idea of how to end the war with Iran.

@Jason You are looking for @mdubowitz

Who are the best experts on Iran?

@Jason @havivrettiggur

@cenkuygur Churchill and Roosevelt killed even more. Does that mean they were wrong?

It is an empirical fact that Netanyahu has killed more people than, more civilians, more reporters and more human rights workers. He’s subjugated 5.5 million Palestinians for decades, committed a genocide and attacked seven of his neighbors. And dragged America into several wars.

Who has done more damage to the world?

@sarahadams @KyleKulinski And refused zero enrichment

@KyleKulinski He greenlit October 7th, keep up 🤦🏼‍♀️

How the fuck did he choose war when he was attacked first??? Clearly the US and Israel chose war you freak

@angertab Don’t forget when he described the Wagner group casualties video as Israeli special forces.

Other claims by Doug Macgregor include: - US Aircraft carriers can not be defended against Iranian ballistic missiles (not true) - US SOF Operators died in Gaza prior-to Israeli ground operations post 10/07 (not true) - The war in Ukraine was not started by Russia (😂)

@nasdaily I have far less capital but have been adding TTD and SHOP. Worried we may be early.

Just spent $1m buying SaaS stocks because: 1) markets are being irrational 2) the "vibe code everything" yourself is hype. 3) valuable companies are heavily discounted 4) people underestimate distribution.

@rabbidanielrowe @History__Speaks My six year old can read this stone. It was carved in Jerusalem before the Temple was destroyed. It marks the place where a priest stood to blow the trumpet to announce the Sabbath, exactly as described in the Mishnah. It’s been the same language and same Shabbos for 2000 years

‘Post second Temple Talmudic Judaism’ is totally continuous with Second Temple Judaism. As we know from Josephus, Talmud and the New Testament, the dominant factions were those that saw Jerusalem and its Temple as sacred, and were ‘Pharisaic’ aligned in maintaining the canon we now call Tanakh. They kept the Kosher dietary laws as per the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, they desisted from work on the Sabbath, maintained purity laws, mikva etc, recited Shema and placed it in every doorpost (mezuza), in tefilin etc as we do. They also maintained the interpretations and legal decisions of the ‘judges’ as per Deut. 17 which in second Temple times meant laws such as the festivals of Purim and Hanukkah, washing hands before eating bread, Synagogues and the structure of services, public readings of Torah etc. They maintained the festivals as outlined in Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy and so on. ‘Talmudic Judaism’ is simply operating without a functioning body of the ‘judges’ (שופטים) or ‘elders’ (זקנים) and recording their opinions and debates without having an authoritative body in the Temple grounds to reach a definitive ruling that the whole nation is bound by. It is simply continuing the same Judaism without a Temple or Sanhedrin. Put it differently: a second Temple Jew today could come to my home and eat our kosher food, rest with us on the Shabbat, have matza and no leavened bread on Passover, go to familiar Synagogue services in Hebrew and wear tefilin and tzitzit to pray. Most Israelis may not be fully religious, but they agree that Judaism is the faith of the Jewish people. The state of Israel has a rest day from sundown on Friday until nightfall on Saturday. Its national holidays are the Biblical ones, its capital city is Jerusalem, its marriage laws go through the Rabbinate, and its language is Hebrew and so on. So the Jewish people certainly have maintained a continuous unbroken polity across time and space. Our texts to this day are the texts of our ancestors, our faith is the faith of our ancestors, and our prayers face the same Temple our ancestors stood in. You can wish that away. But wishing doesn’t change the reality. Throughout almost every generation our ancestors risked enormous amounts and paid a very heavy price to keep the Jewish people and Jewish faith alive and to pass it on to the next generation. That is why we are here 2,000 years after the exile having never abandoned their faith, their practice and their daily prayers and dreams to come home.

No I won't have, because you are spewing romantic myth, not history. Post-Second Temple, Talmudic Judaism is radically different than the religion you're referring to, and nobody - much less the mostly secular Israeli Jewish population in 2026 - has 'substantive cultural continuity' with people living over 2,000 years ago. Culturally speaking, Israeli Jews have infinitely more in common with say Turks and Chinese (in 2026) than e.g. the Jews of e.g. the Hasmonean Dynasty. In terms of deconstructing Zionism - and pointing out the absurdity of Zionist claims to indigeneity based on claims of 2,000 year old ancestry, and "substantive cultural continuity" with cultures we don't even know much about - the enterprise is a worthy one. Denying that the people who founded Israel were indigenous to the land, recognizing that they were instead colonizers - colonizers motivated to found an ethnostate by the bestial persecution and genocide they had endured, but colonizers all the same - doesn't mean that it's acceptable to ethnically cleanse people. It doesn't even mean we can have a one state solution tomorrow or 5 years from now (the attitudes of both peoples would need to change dramatically for that to be practical). But it would be a political blow to Zionist expansionism, e.g. in "Judea and Samaria;" and it would also be the cold historical reality.

@grok @Malcolm_Pal9 How did it get the name?

@grok @Malcolm_Pal9 Was Herodotus referring to the Gaza area historically occupied by philistines or the Jerusalem hebron Nablus area

@Malcolm_Pal9 @grok is this true or is it reddering to the area of the biblical philistines?

@RachelGur @havivrettiggur Get this man a collar stay! (He’s great)

For all those who asked, here is a clip of @havivrettiggur responding to masked protesters interrupting his lecture at Haverford College on February 1, 2026. Enjoy and learn.

@MomentMagazine @jfunders @Spokoiny @SefariaProject @Hartman_Inst @pardesinstitute What a ridiculous out of touch list

From rabbis to entrepreneurs–who are the most innovative Jews of the last 50 years? In Moment's latest "Big Question,” we asked a variety of Jewish voices to weigh in. @jfunders CEO Andrés @Spokoiny gives his picks. Read the entire list. momentmag.com/50-jewish-inno…

@EricRWeinstein Goy is exactly like Jew. Totally depends how it is used.

Never. But it is a topic of great confusion. Goyims is first of all just wrong. Goyim is a Hebrew masculine plural already. So I would say Goyim. Never Goyims. And in order to understand Jews, you need to know context. If someone says Goy or Goyim, what is the context? Is it slang? In the speaker knowledgable or ignorant? Is it Hebrew or Yiddish? Israel is itself a “Goy”. Heroic Oscar Schindler is too. As is Nick Fuentes. But not in the same sense. So it’s confusing. Yet I would use the same word for all three. How is that possible? Goy means nation. “The Holy Nation” or “goy k'dosh” is how HaShem/g-d sees Israel in Exodus 19:6. But the myriad haters of Jews and their bot armies want to confuse the many uses of this word, which is dangeous. So we should fearlessly sort it out. There is nothing to be ashamed of here. Let’s get @grok to weigh in and do this as a proper dialogue. Am I misrepresenting this @grok?
