It’s stark when you see it like this, isn’t it?

@ZoSokiedoky @Jennnyyyyyy 31. If you were going by adding increments there is no logical reason to start at 3, but even if you do so you can add 1 more than the number you are on and still get to 31 (ie 3+4, 7+8 then 15+16=31) and as @ZoSokiedoky pointed out you also get there by doubling the increments.

@Jennnyyyyyy Not enough information If you're doubling the increments the next (4-8-16-32...) number would be 31. If you're going by adding increments of 4, (4-8-12-16...the next number would be 27 One more number is needed to be sure.

I bet you can't guess it right 😋 Difficulty - Hard 🤯

@jvgraz @Deconn Of course there is such a country as Israel.

@Deconn So? There's no such country as Judea. There's no such country as Samaria. For that matter, there's no such country as "Israel".

Reminder: every single person in this painting is Palestinian.

@havivrettiggur @polphiloecon @EylonALevy Pardon my ignorance but what is the QT?

@polphiloecon @EylonALevy Reread the QT to understand the accusation. It isn’t just that Khan is a slimebag.

It really is unbelievable. And there’s no accountability. No real authority. You’d need a political vote among states to fix this corruption. If you’re not popular — for instance, say you’re Israel right now — then nothing in the system even pretends to be capable of giving you real transparent justice. Before you hit reply with your hot take on Israel, read the QT. This isn’t how an actual ICC worthy of the name would operate. Israel will survive this. The ICC will not survive if this rally is what it has become.

If you're shocked by today's stabbing terror attack on British Jews, you must have been living under a rock for the past few years. Not a single one of the men who drove through North London in 2021 shouting “F*** the Jews, f*** their daughters, f*** their mothers, rape their daughters and free Palestine" were prosecuted. Not one. So why is anyone surprised when British Jews are stabbed in broad daylight a few years later? The message went out loud and clear that anti-semitism was allowed on our streets. You reap what you sow. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Today, a man ran through Golders Green, a Jewish neighborhood in London, stabbing Jews outside a synagogue in broad daylight. The UK PM called it "utterly appalling." Here's what's actually appalling: For two years, Western streets have hosted marches calling for the elimination of Israel. Universities have celebrated it. Politicians have legitimized it. The media has normalized it. You don't get to spend two years mainstreaming the idea that Jews and their state have no right to exist and then act shocked when someone takes the message literally. Words have consequences. "From the river to the sea" isn't poetry. "Globalize the intifada" isn't a metaphor. When you spend years telling the world that Jewish presence in the Middle East or in Golders Green is a problem to be solved, don't be surprised when someone shows up with a knife to solve it. The ideology and the blade are the same weapon. One just has a longer handle.

Do you see that tiny RED dot? That’s Israel, the only Jewish state in the world. They want you to believe that the tiny RED dot is the oppressor and colonizer, and that the GREEN Muslim countries surrounding it are the oppressed. Do they realize how ridiculous they sound?

Why is the Mayor of London—who should be worried about knife crime, policing and the Tube—visiting with Europe's top Israel hater to “discuss Gaza”? When Britain's Islamists are stabbing, shooting and firebombing Jews, why are those in power sending cues that embolden the hate?

Islamic Republic: Activates terror cells to target British Jews and Iranian dissidents on UK soil, incites operatives in UK to acts of violence. Makes total mockery of UK sovereignty. UK: Summons Iranian ambassador for a chat. That'll show them. mako.co.il/news-world/202…

Let’s be clear on something. If someone starts a war and then loses it, that’s not genocide. Furthermore, if the victim of this so-called genocide can make it end the second they want to, that too is not genocide. Hamas, with the support of the majority of Gaza (according to any and all polls) attacked Israel and lost. That’s not genocide. If any of Israel’s enemies put down their weapons and stop attacking Israel, there will be peace immediately. All Hamas had to do and has to do is lay down its weapons and the war ends. They don’t want to because they want to keep attacking Israel? When Israel retaliates, that’s not called genocide. And for all you morons saying Israel killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza, kindly answer me two questions: 1- What is your source for those numbers? Spoiler: I know the answer. It’s the Gaza health ministry. They’re the only source for Gaza numbers. Israel didn’t release any official numbers. Who do you think runs said ministry? If you guessed Hamas, you win 10 points. 2- If Israel killed all those tens of thousands of innocent people, since you know the exact numbers, tell me, how many terrorists did Israel kill? I ask because remember the Gaza health ministry? Yea, they don’t differentiate between civilian and terrorist. They also don’t differentiate between someone who died in war and someone who died from natural causes. In other words, when you go around claiming Israel committed genocide and killed tens of thousands of innocent people in Gaza, you are walking around quoting rapists and pedophiles who lie when they breathe. Israel has never started a war. Israel has also never lost a war. Oh, and one more thing. If Israel wanted to commit genocide in Gaza, if Israel wanted to kill every Gazan like these idiots claim, there would be no buildings standing and no Gazan breathing. Think. Use your brain. Even if you believe the ridiculous 70,000 number, divide that by the amount of bombs Israel dropped (assuming the math isn’t too hard for you.) and what you’ll get is the opposite of genocide. If Israel is so strong like you claim it is when you accuse Israel of retaliating disproportionately, then how did israel, according to Hamas’ own numbers not kill millions? Wanna know why? Because Israel never set out to commit anything even remotely resembling genocide. Israel never set out to flatten Gaza or kill all Gazans. Israel’s objectives for the war in Gaza are clear as are the objectives in Iran and Lebanon. Glad we cleared that up. Does this look like genocide to you?

@victorkafati @EylonALevy @lucyaharish @KseniaSvetlova @YonatanAdiri @Meravbenari @AbirKara2 Indigenous people can be forced out of their land and remain indigenous as they maintain their culture and traditions and prayers in their home language and their yearning to return home. We Jews have all that.

@Stevejfgb @EylonALevy @lucyaharish @KseniaSvetlova @YonatanAdiri @Meravbenari @AbirKara2 Being indigenous takes more than religion. It’s lineage and historical continuity. Religion isn’t a race and doesn’t come with some hidden DNA code.

I’m on an Israeli TV panel, which is such a wonderful reflection of Israel’s diversity. Host @lucyaharish is Arab. @KseniaSvetlova born in Russia. @yonatanadiri’s family is from Iran. @Meravbenari, mixed Iranian-Libyan heritage. I’m UK-born Britain, Iraqi heritage. @AbirKara2, Urfali background. This isn’t multiculturalism in the Western sense. And it’s definitely not “celebrating” diversity by platforming minorities specifically. This is just what Israel looks like. Everyone is a minority. We are a country based on a powerful national ethos: Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people, with full civic rights for its non-Jewish minorities. We are the “ingathering of exiles” dedicated to building an exemplary country that cultivates a new, creative, unpredictable form of Israeli identity out of the ersatz encounters between Jews from all over the world and our other cherished minorities. That is what makes Israel great. And it makes a mockery of the bullshit propaganda of the Antizionist hate movement about Israel as a white settler colonial state. They literally have no way to explain this panel. It would make their heads explode. Maybe that’s a reason for them to watch. Shabbat shalom ✌️

@victorkafati @EylonALevy @lucyaharish @KseniaSvetlova @YonatanAdiri @Meravbenari @AbirKara2 The Jews are indigenous to the land. They returned from exile into which our ancestors were forced.

@EylonALevy @lucyaharish @KseniaSvetlova @YonatanAdiri @Meravbenari @AbirKara2 The irony is that no one is indigenous by to the land. Btw @EylonALevy your british Iraqi.... don't ever forget that Ashkanazi

The difference between this awful event & the Palestinians that regularly smash Christian statues & other artefacts in the West Bank & Gaza is that this soldier will be punished for his crime & the Palestinians never are.

BREAKING: The Islamic Republic is preparing to hang eight women. Not a word from the international community or so-called human rights organizations.

@HFalconerMP @RedCrossLebanon You make Britain irrelevant in the Middle East by addressing Israel, a free democratic country, in the same way that you address Hezbollah, a proscribed terrorist organisation that follows the orders of the IRGC.

The UK is clear that Lebanon must be included in the ceasefire. I have seen the vital work of @redcrosslebanon in Tebnine; the killing of an aid worker is tragic. Ongoing strikes risk a humanitarian crisis. Hizballah must disarm and Israeli strikes stop now.
