@Emer49034181 @MrPitbull07 @DeborahMeaden No foreign government can save children whose parents have decided to sacrifice them for their ideology. Jewish parents did everything they could to save their children.

@MrPitbull07 @DeborahMeaden If he were alive today he would be appalled at his government’s inaction to save the children of #Gaza #Iran #Lebanon

He saved children from the Holocaust without speaking a single word. The world remembers Marcel Marceau as the master mime. The man in the striped shirt and white face paint. The artist who could make you see invisible walls and feel imaginary wind. For decades, he performed on the greatest stages of the world, moving audiences to tears without uttering a sound. But long before the applause, before the spotlight, before the fame, he was simply Marcel Mangel. A Jewish teenager in occupied France whose father had just been taken. It was 1944. His father, a kosher butcher in Strasbourg, had been arrested by the Nazis and deported to Auschwitz. He would never return. Marcel knew his family was being hunted. He changed his surname to "Marceau" and made a decision that would define the rest of his life. He joined the French Resistance. His mission was unlike anything most soldiers faced. There were orphanages scattered across France, filled with Jewish children whose parents had already been murdered or deported. These children were next on the Nazi lists. Someone had to get them out. Someone had to lead them across dangerous territory to neutral Switzerland, where they might have a chance to survive. Marcel volunteered. The journeys were terrifying. He would gather groups of children—sometimes as young as four or five—and lead them through forests and mountains toward the Swiss border. Nazi patrols were everywhere. A single sound could mean death for everyone. One child's cry, one moment of panic, and they would all be discovered. How do you keep frightened children quiet when their lives depend on absolute silence? Marcel understood something others didn't. Fear makes children cry. But wonder makes them hold their breath. During those dangerous treks through the darkness, Marcel would use his gift. He would perform for the children. Silent pantomimes that transformed terror into enchantment. He became a character they could follow, a game they wanted to play. In the moonlight, he mimed catching invisible butterflies. He pretended to trip over imaginary logs. He acted out stories that made the children smile even as they walked through the night. He made silence feel like magic instead of a rule they had to follow. Over the course of the war, working alongside his cousin Georges Loinger and other resistance fighters, Marcel helped save dozens of Jewish children. He didn't just guide them through forests. He forged identity documents, altering birth certificates and creating false papers that gave these children new identities and new chances at life. After the liberation, Marcel Marceau became one of the most celebrated performers of the 20th century. He toured the world. He influenced generations of artists. He received standing ovations in every language. But he rarely spoke about what he had done during the war. When asked why he chose silence as his art form, he often referenced his father, murdered in Auschwitz. He once said that the survivors who returned from the camps could never find words for what they had experienced. "My name is Mangel," he explained. "In German, it means 'the lack.' I mime the lack of words." His silence on stage wasn't just performance. It was remembrance. Marcel Marceau proved that art can be more than entertainment. In his hands, it became survival. It became resistance. It became a way to transform fear into hope, to lead the vulnerable to safety, to speak volumes without making a sound. He didn't need weapons to be a hero. He didn't need speeches or slogans. He just needed to move, and in moving, to give frightened children a reason to trust, to follow, and to believe they might see tomorrow. The applause that followed him for six decades was deserved. But the silence he kept about his greatest performance—the one that saved lives in the darkest forests of Europe—might have been the most powerful act of all.

@HarrietHarman She was - you weren't. You betrayed women, Jenni Murray didn't. Until you acknowledge that you've gone wrong and that she stayed true, you're not fit to comment on her life.

Impossible to overstate the importance of Jenni Murray to the movement of women that changed our politics, economy & our society; that changed our lives. She was the broadcasting wing of the women’s movement. We all owe her. RIP. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@FayeRCTribunal Got them all, though I admit I needed the clues. It's shocking how quickly we forget specific events, people etc - there have been so many of them. Love your pseudonym - and best of luck for the judgment!

A hint: ‘enjoy your erasure’, ‘dogwhistle!’ and ‘…those she enables, and those who enable her, disgust me, and should disgust this house!’

“They [men] have decided that it is entirely right and proper for men to fight for their liberties and their rights, but that it is not right and proper for women to fight for theirs.” (Emmeline Pankhurst) - Guess who the pseudonym Faye Russell-Caldicott is dedicated to?

@IsabelleForger @veguigui Oui mais là n'est pas la question: on a vu la même chose à Bondi. Un seul musulman qui a été très courageux, certes, mais on a quasiment ignoré des juifs qui l'ont été aussi ce jour-là. Ce n'est pas pour dénigrer ni Mme Ibn Ziaten ni M El Ahmed, c'est juste un fait.

@veguigui Latifa Ibn Ziaten a une attitude très digne pour quelqu'un qui a payé le prix fort en perdant son fils qui s'était engagé pour la France. Elle n'attise aucune haine, bien au contraire. J'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour elle. Elle doit rester un exemple pour tous.

Avant de mourir de chagrin, Samuel Sandler était invité sur une radio, aux côtés de Latifa Ibn Ziaten dont le fils avait été également tué par Merah, et le journaliste étonné de voir que Latifa était invitée dans de nombreux collèges à témoigner alors que les demandes d’interventions pour Samuel étaient rares, l’a interrogé à ce sujet. Celui-ci a répondu, des sanglots dans la voix : - Vous savez, la vie des enfants juifs, ça n’intéresse pas grand monde… On est toujours là. Les femmes juives violées, les juifs assassinés dans le monde, les juifs bombardés en Israël, ça n’intéresse pas grand monde, dans le meilleur des cas, ça provoque la liesse dans le pire. Si le niveau de complotisme à l’égard des juifs était redirigé vers n’importe quelle autre culture ou ethnie, ça provoquerait des éclats de rires tellement c’est caricatural. On ne nous voit pas comme des humains lambda, on nous voit comme des monstres. Un jour, fatigués d’endosser tous les crimes de l’humanité, nous quitterons l’occident, comme nous avons quitté les pays musulmans dans lesquels nous étions pourtant installés bien avant l’avènement de l’islam, et ce jour là, quand la haine des juifs véhiculée par les islamistes et reprise en coeur par les médias et l’extrême gauche, pourra sa lâcher sans vergogne, nous ne serons plus qu’une légende.

@m4xim1l1an @Rondo2 @RoyKAltman Because it's about intent: you can try to commit genocide and fail. Failure isn't a plausible explanation for the IDF though: if Israel had wanted to kill most of the Gazan population, it had the means to destroy them all from the air. They chose NOT to commit genocide.

@Rondo2 @RoyKAltman Genocide is not a numbers game. Bosnian genocide was considering a genocide with 8k-10k casualties. There could even be zero deaths and still be a genocide. You sure you are in the right topic? Seems you are not prepared

As we see videos circulate online of Israeli airstrikes inside Iran, I would remind people about what the German Air Force chief said of Israeli Air Force strikes targeting Hamas in Gaza. The German Air Force chief went to Israel and reviewed their military plans, reviewed all the protocols they go through before every strike. As we do here in America, Israel has lawyers who review every strike for legality before it's conducted. And the German air chief said it is the most moral air force in the world. Israel has done more, he said, to preserve innocent Palestinian lives than any other air force would do in the circumstances. And we know that from the facts that have come out. Israel sends hundreds of thousands of text messages, issues hundreds of thousands of leaflets and flyers, issues maps on all of its websites which show the Palestinian civilians which areas will be attacked at which days and on which times. I was a football player. When you're on offense, surprise is the name of the game, and that's no less true in the military. Israel has relinquished the power of offensive surprise in order to preserve innocent Palestinian lives by telling Hamas exactly where it means to assault before it issues its orders. It has done so at great cost to the lives of its own soldiers in order to preserve and protect innocent Palestinian lives. What other country in the world would do that?

@WingsScotland @prideukorg's question is rhetorical, as they block most replies, so here's one back: gay boys get beaten up in male toilets, so are they saying gay men should also use women's facilities to keep them safe from other men? And do women get no say in this at any point?

I’m not sure I’ve EVER read a credible report of a transwomen being beaten up in the Gents. Not a single solitary one ever. Have I just missed them all?

@HerrBroFessor @omid9 @parisa22 I’m pretty sure we can assume not

@omid9 @parisa22 Yea I think we all want to know now Omid😅... I'm guessing this is just you being facetious since Djalili is not exactly an uncommon surname in Iran 😅, but really, is he you're uncle?

Breaking: Djalili to replace Larijani. “After the death of Ali Larijani, Saeed Djalili to assume leadership, more ideological but 100 times less competent.” That’s my uncle for you. Says it was the zero hours contract and extensive funeral coverage that attracted him. timesnownews.com/world/middle-e…

@omid9 Where does that put you in the line of succession, Omid? Can we expect you to be named Ayatollah in the next few days? Best of British to you!

@Aizenberg55 @threadreaderapp unroll

@No4167 Why is the question addressed only to women? Men can get breast cancer too. And isn't the BRCA gene associated with other forms of cancer as well, not just breast cancer? I'd have thought the first recommendation would be to stop ingesting large amounts of oestrogen.

One red flag of AGPs is asking women to share their female health issues with them. Discussing female health issues with women. He recently found out his biological mom died of breast cancer and has been discussing his high risks for it for many days now.

@DarrylWhitwort2 @MaleHumanPerso1 @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today Again, not something I know much about, but the fact that family farms have almost disappeared in the US makes me feel there are other aspects to this.

@RoseAlannis @MaleHumanPerso1 @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today Or food security & protection of rural economies in Europe as a political pilar of the [EEC] EU to halt any revolt against democracy has lead to laws that disenfranchise family farms & benefit instead corporations, which has lead to the political centre collapsing.

“Legitimate opposition to the existence of Israel.” Nick Robinson says the quiet bit out loud. Imagine someone saying “legitimate opposition to the existence of Britain.” @BBCr4today

@DarrylWhitwort2 @MaleHumanPerso1 @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today *abetted, obviously. No edit function is irritating.

@DarrylWhitwort2 @MaleHumanPerso1 @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today There's a worrying tendency to romanticise the troubles by those who are too young to have lived through them, aided and abetter by those who have most to gain by minimising how evil it all was.

@DarrylWhitwort2 @MaleHumanPerso1 @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today That's pretty much my position (minus the vote and the business!) On a wider point, it terrifies me how often in history a seemingly minor event or decision has set the course for disaster, like how Lincoln's death has led to racial inequalities & civil strife in today's US etc.

@RoseAlannis @MaleHumanPerso1 @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today We are all soldiers of fate. I voted remain but respected the outcome. And tried to say to people if their business was affected to try & be as dynamic as possible. For the first time ever, I did not vote Labour. My business has been sunk. I am being dynamic.

@DarrylWhitwort2 @MaleHumanPerso1 @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today Replica guns are almost reasonable in NI! It's not long since it was real guns.

@RoseAlannis @MaleHumanPerso1 @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today 2/ The Northern Ireland one was rather debauched in some senses. People got rather upset that other parties were parading [replica] guns about. And in fairness it is somewhat OTT.

@DarrylWhitwort2 @MaleHumanPerso1 @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today I was just outside the time limit. THey've changed the rules since, and if you were EVER registered to vote, you can now register again. But then I couldn't. Even though I live in the EU and am personally affected by the decision to leave.

@RoseAlannis @MaleHumanPerso1 @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today You were allowed to vote if you were abroad. Many did. Nobody was denied a vote. From 2016 below:

@DarrylWhitwort2 @MaleHumanPerso1 @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today That depends on the country concerned: I had no vote in Northern Ireland, being abroad. But as I suggested earlier, the definition of "country" here seems to be a movable feast.

@MaleHumanPerso1 @RoseAlannis @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today Exactly. And even those abroad had the right to vote & they did.

@DarrylWhitwort2 @andrew_lilico @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today Exactly. As well as a long history of every other muslim-majority country in the region doing exactly that.

@andrew_lilico @RoseAlannis @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today In this sanitised or white cube you seem to be suggesting no. In every other version outside of your point it is in fact exactly what it represents because there is no-one with a valid claim to that legitimacy.

@MaleHumanPerso1 @andrew_lilico @DarrylWhitwort2 @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today So taking over by winning a war is a more legitimate way of creating a country than voting for a confederation? Ok, I can see that. A vote can be undone. In which case, Israel having won all the wars she waged, there is no possible case for Palestinians to oppose that. Right?

@RoseAlannis @andrew_lilico @DarrylWhitwort2 @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today It's not a confederation at all. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland didn't vote. UK citizens in the UK voted all with exactly equal weighting. Scotland doesn't exist as a sovereign country and nor do England, Wales or Northern Ireland.

@andrew_lilico @DarrylWhitwort2 @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today Well Allison Pearson can defend her own opinion, but mine is that wanting to end a union, like GB or the EU, is not like wanting to displace millions of people because their very presence is offensive to another group of people.

@DarrylWhitwort2 @RoseAlannis @eldkona @AllisonPearson @BBCr4today Incorrect. At the outset it was claimed that there could be no such thing as legitimate opposition to the existence of Israel, nor indeed any such thing as legitimate opposition to the existence of Britain.
