@realMaalouf Will Muslim women be asked to take off their hijabs in solidarity with ex-muslim women like me who face apostophobia and honor-based violence including honor killings?

This is absolutely devastating news. We Iranians called Senator Lindsey Graham "Amoo Lindsey" (Uncle Lindsey) because of his staunch support for Iranian freedom. My deepest condolences to Senator Lindsey Graham's family and friends. I'm so so sorry for your loss. 🇺🇸 🕯️

@cenkuygur You're vile.

Lindsey Graham has moved on to the next step in his journey, trying to convince Hades to attack Zeus and Poseidon. He says it’ll only take a couple of weeks and won’t require any ground troops. And there’s no way Poseidon can close the Strait.

In 1995, an American president needed two Hebrew words to bury an Israeli prime minister. In 2026, Israel needs the same two for a Baptist son of a South Carolina pool hall: Shalom, chaver. Israel has lost its greatest friend on Capitol Hill, Senator Lindsey Graham. That isn’t an exaggeration; it’s the consensus of the Israeli opposition and coalition, who rose in unison this morning to eulogize the beloved senator. Born and raised in his beloved South Carolina, Graham grew up living in a cramped room behind his parents’ combined pool hall, bar and liquor store. Later becoming a lawyer and enlisting in the U.S. military, he entered Congress in 1995, becoming the first Republican to represent South Carolina’s 3rd District since Reconstruction. In 2003, he moved up to the Senate, where he and John McCain became a trio with Joe Lieberman—dubbed the “Three Amigos” by Gen. David Petraeus on one of their endless trips to Iraq and Afghanistan. Hawks, travelers and crossers of aisles for wars worth fighting. Especially Israel’s. Sander Gerber, his partner on the Taylor Force Act, once quipped that the senator was “more pro-Israel than AIPAC,” while Christians United for Israel counted him among Israel’s most stalwart allies in Congress. His evangelical base—a pillar of both South Carolina politics and American Zionism—wasn’t a constituency he courted so much as one he belonged to. Addressing AIPAC’s annual dinner on March 22, 2010, he told the room the evening was about “our best friend in the world, the State of Israel”—and had every member of Congress present stand while he pledged that Congress had Israel’s back and would not let it down. In the same speech, he declared Jerusalem the undivided capital of Israel and the eternal home of the Jewish faith, said it was sometimes better to go to war than to allow a second Holocaust to develop, and closed with “never again.” He more than lived up to the commitment. From Obama’s JCPOA—which he fought—to Donald Trump’s short-lived rapprochement with Tehran this past month, through the Taylor Force Act, the anti-BDS legislation, the embassy move and the Golan recognition he personally championed, Graham operated on a single axiom, the one the Hebrew press identified this morning as his signature line: Israel’s security is America’s security. He applied it without exception. In 2013, he threatened to sink Chuck Hagel’s nomination as the most anti-Israel defense secretary in American history; in December 2014, standing in Jerusalem beside Netanyahu, he promised on Iran sanctions that “the Congress will follow your lead”—a sentence no other American senator would say to a foreign leader, and Graham said it on camera. Just 15 days after the October 7 massacre, Graham was in Tel Aviv leading a bipartisan delegation—noting that “10 percent of the United States Senate is in Israel.” Destroying Hamas, he made clear, was nonnegotiable, and he had stark words for Tehran: “We’re here today to tell Iran, we’re watching you”—if the war grew, it was coming to their backyard: “There won’t be two fronts, there will be three.” He told the room exactly why it had happened, insisting no one would ever convince him the massacre was about anything but stopping reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Israel—the very normalization project he had spent the preceding months building. He wasn’t shy about Biden’s flip-flopping either. When the administration threatened to withhold weapons over Rafah, Graham hauled Lloyd Austin before the Armed Services Committee and asked whether he’d have supported Hiroshima and Nagasaki—then demanded to know how Washington could dictate terms to a country whose neighbors want to kill all the Jews. He called Biden’s approach “ass-backwards.” When the ICC prosecutor moved on Israeli leaders, his warning was five words of pure Graham: “If they do this to Israel, we’re next.” When Israel launched Operation Rising Lion on June 13, 2025, his reaction was five words: “Game on. Pray for Israel.” The tweet drew fury from all directions—including from Meghan McCain, his late best friend’s daughter, who informed him it was not a game—but it was, in its way, the most honest sentence of the war: the fight he had demanded since at least 2010 had finally arrived, and he was not going to pretend otherwise. By August, he was telling South Carolina Republicans that if America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us. By 2026, per The Wall Street Journal, he was shuttling to Jerusalem to coach Netanyahu on making the case for war to Trump. In January, no sooner had he disembarked than he posted: “I just landed in Israel, the one and only Jewish State, and America’s strongest ally and friend since its founding.” He returned once more in February 2026—Netanyahu, Defense Minister Katz, the General Staff—the final visit of several dozen across the decades. In March, amid the MAGA backlash over the Iran war, he gave the line that now reads as a valediction: “I will be with Israel until our dying day.” Far too soon, that day arrived. It found him the same as always: back from an ally’s capital, stalwartly defending a country’s right to freedom and safety, and scheduled for Sunday television to explain why.

Senator Lindsey Graham passed away yesterday after a rapid illness. The greatest friend of Israel on Capitol Hill has left us.

@s_m_marandi typical barbarian

Too bad. I wanted him to see the oil market prices on Monday before going to hell.

@simonzielinski7 @neteD1yam lol I'd need cardstock. I'd go through pencils faster, the stationery industry would profit immensely, but one cannot put a price on the rizz (forgive me 😆) of channeling Elric.

@PolemicalComm @neteD1yam Have you tried rage writing? I imagine thicker paper would be more efficient but the emotional delivery on simple things would be Elric levels of epic lol

i hate it when people randomly use the word lowkey

@https_sow @jungkookasf @HoopsCrave How is that related to the core claim and rebuttal?

@PolemicalComm @jungkookasf @HoopsCrave Lol

Egypt has reportedly banned Lionel Messi from entering the country.

I hate Jude Bellingham! Thank you for your attention to this matter!😾 - PC

@pensandpoison omg we are cooked 😭 Neither is particularly good for literary fiction but at least the self-pub tried. The other guy did not give a damn 😭

If you're wondering why fewer people read literary fiction today, compare these two novel openings. One was originally self-published. The other reflects the dominant style in contemporary publishing. The difference is night and day.

@vamp1bella mind our business. mind yours

wtf do introverts even do?

Every time you see the genocide blood libel: challenge it. It only needs to be a flippant reply with the contempt the accusation deserves, but challenge it every time you see it. Do not let antisemitic blood libels pass unchallenged.

@Rem_princessex bugs

How can you hate the rain?

@unique2winner @DavidMKeyes you, sir, are a hero

@DavidMKeyes Muhammad, to k.ill him and nip Islam in the bud!

You need to be stranded on a desert island with one person for the rest of time. Who do you take?

@klara_sjo norway. f england

I'm torn if I should support Norway or England. I genuinely don't know.

@KaiUzama you go, queen!

@PolemicalComm Omg thank you !

My mum just reminded me of when my primary school teacher called my parents and reported I was holding students hostage 😭 We received results on a math test & you know how teachers would humiliate people who did poorly? I felt so bad for them so during break time I rounded up all the students that did bad & refused to let them go on lunch break, I decided I was going to start teaching them math *by force* & some kids were crying that they wanted to go and play. I kept asking them why they wanted to play when they were failing. I even recruited a class mate to catch kids that escaped. Omg I was a terrorist 😭 Eventually some students escaped & went to report me to the principal 😔

@Rem_princessex what's there to fear?

Ppl who keep tweeting with 0 likes fear no one 😭

I invite you to imagine how you would want our government to respond if a single rocket was fired into a neighborhood near you by an enemy sworn to kill you all. Now watch this video and remember it isn't rain you're seeing.

@simonzielinski7 @Vlamsss lol
