The word “Nakba” (catastrophe) wasn’t invented by Palestinians to describe Jewish “ethnic cleansing.” It was coined in 1948 by a Syrian Arab historian, Constantin Zureiq, in his book The Meaning of the Disaster. He used it to describe the humiliating failure of the Arab world — their leaders’ arrogance, their lies to their own people, their military incompetence, and their refusal to accept a Jewish state. Zureiq wrote that the Arabs had “imaginary victories” and put their public “to sleep” with boasts — until the real disaster hit: they couldn’t wipe out the Jews. The original Nakba wasn’t about refugees. That a rebrand from several decades later. It was about the Arab leaders’ catastrophic decision to launch a war of extermination ... and lose. They’ve spent 77 years rebranding their own failure as Jewish guilt. That’s the only real "Nakba" they can’t forgive.


A flag featuring swastikas and a Star of David flew over NYU during graduation today. The specific building it was flown over was named after a Jewish donor to the school. Does no one feel shame anymore?

One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026!




🚨 🇮🇱 🇱🇧 Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that communities south of the Litani River would never be allowed to return home, displacing hundreds of thousands of people. Ex-IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus argued that this would simply be an unfortunate reality wherein Israel has to choose its own survival over that of southern Lebanon. Legal analyst Dimitri Lascaris argued that the directive is actually nothing short of state-sponsored terrorism, something he says is part of an Israeli tradition he witnessed personally on the ground. @JConricus, @DimitriLascaris


To summarize the evening: the mob came to a Synagogue, forced a Jewish day care to close early, came with a Hezbollah flag, cheered for intifada, and said "we don't want no Zionists here". We cannot normalize this behavior.





🇱🇧🇮🇱 Israel bombed 21+ Lebanese villages in a single day while a ceasefire was active. Bint Jbeil. Tibnin. Kafra. Deir Qanoun. Towns across the entire south hit back to back. Is this what they call a ceasefire?
