DISTURBING.
Flotilla activists illegally infiltrated restricted areas, sexually assaulted and raped military and security personnel with dogs and cats. 15 times.
The infiltrators shot at officials with rubber bullets at close range and broke their bones.
The pictures are too gruesome so we won't share any.

@Lauraoiq @MorEdge_Insight @Goyionist @CopyOfOne The real problem is the normalization of the brutal atrocities committed on October 7th. These actions should never be justified, excused, or accepted by any civilized society.

🚨 EXTREMELY GRAPHIC CONTENT 🚨
Imagine doing this to innocent people, and then still pretending like you’re the victims?
What’s equally as bad is that they’ve somehow managed to manipulate millions of dumb people into believing them.

@TomLondon6 The Palestinians are suffering terribly.But Hamas are not good to the Palestinian people we saw that they did when they took control- they killed so many Palestinians! Sinwar a/k/a the Butcher of Khan Younis, for killing Palestinians not Israel’s.
English
@TomLondon6 Because it’s questionable- I don’t know what to believe. Israel was attacked, they defend themselves/they r always big bullies.If they wanted genocide they would just bomb ¬ put out leaflets & put their soldiers at risk on the ground. Lots of fake videos coming out of Gaza.

I'm Jewish, British & 64
All my life, I wondered how the Holocaust could have happened. I understood that Hitler & other leaders were EVIL, but how did millions of ordinary people go along with it?
NOW, seeing how so many in the West rationalise & defend the Gaza Genocide, I think I have my answer and it is profoundly disturbing

@koshercockney Britney is not a war crime. I would have played Baby Shark on repeat.

@proudmomjac @MoishIndig @NYCMayor I would assume it’s because he controls all the power in NYC for the next few years. He and his wife have certain presumptions of the Jewish population. Instead of enforcing hatred maybe educating and coexisting would be the optimal choice.
English
@MoishIndig @NYCMayor Why do u pander to the worst antisemite who is making Jewish lives unsafe in NYC?!!!!. He thinks Israel shouldn’t exist and he only associates with self loathing Jews like yourself. You are an embarrassment.

Great to join @NYCMayor Mayor Zohran Mamdani at the Pre-Shavuos / Jewish American Heritage Celebration Reception at Gracie Mansion

@removeMeOff @Steph_benshimol My concern was never about religion or prayer. It was about adults gathering outside a school,looking through windows,making children uncomfortable, &potentially blocking emergency access.Safety around schools should not be controversial
English
@koren15500 @Steph_benshimol For the love of god Joy Karen, she said the girls leave at 12:30 and the men pray at 1:30. WTF are you not understanding? Or are you just used to being so ignorant.

This is the Muslim employee of the Girls school for 26 years. There has never been any incidents with the next-door mosque. Jewish and Muslim live in peace.
English
@PeterMM61 @Steph_benshimol @TheKvetcher @Mottel As a mother I think it’s very creepy having people looking through the windows, & chanting that disrupts classes. I guess since it’s a Jewish school it could be considered targeted.
English
@Steph_benshimol @TheKvetcher @Mottel Who said anything about terrorism? You brought it up. Does that mean you associate Muslims with terrorism?
English
Al Madina Islamic
Center Mosque has been at this location from 2016. Every Friday they pray at 1:30 for 5 -10 minutes and coordinate as not to interfere with the Yeshivas Friday 12:15 Dismissal .
English
@Steph_benshimol @TheKvetcher @Mottel I think it’s creepy, the windows are eye level, the chanting disrupts classes, & it’s blocking emergency access. Regardless of religion although it’s a bad climate people feel threatened- they are children. It could be deemed harassment. Why don’t they pray in front of the mosque
English
@mobizness @Steph_benshimol The mosque is nearby but they choose to pray in front of an all girls Jewish school - with low, eye-level windows, on a narrow sidewalk. The complaints are it blocks the street, but it’s really creepy because they stare through the windows, and the chants disrupt classes.
English
@Steph_benshimol I’m so confused is it a mosque or Jewish school, both look similar but video interview looks like he’s saying is a mosque?
English
@eautogo @anaraintuitive @ChabadLubavitch @haim_2010 @NYCMayor Actually I think his story is related to the Nakba. Both are a reaction to when the Arab nations declared war on Israel.Many people lost their multigenerational homes. What he wrote is exactly how I remember it as a child.However you view it war is never pretty and people suffer
English
@koren15500 @anaraintuitive @ChabadLubavitch @haim_2010 @NYCMayor You do realize that he's not Palestinian? He has no connection to Palestine nor the NAKBA? His family were refugees directly from Iraq. Why did you even bother sharing this garbage? I don't need some foreigner telling me my history when I got it directly from the source.
English
I have largely remained silent in public since January 1 because I believe criticism should be constructive and focused. But this post about the Nakba is deeply disturbing, not only because of its one sided and dishonest characterization of history, but also because it attempts to delegitimize Israel as a state even before 1967.
You cannot have it both ways. You cannot argue that the “settlements”, which began after 1967 following Israel’s victory in a war against neighboring states, are the root cause of the conflict, condemn them relentlessly, and justify marches through Jewish neighborhoods in New York over so called “illegal” land sales in the West Bank, while simultaneously condemning the very founding of the State of Israel itself through a one sided narrative built on distortion and falsehoods.
It is also worth noting that while thousands of Arabs lived within Israel between 1948 and 1967, Jews were expelled from areas captured by invading Arab armies from neighboring countries. Those expelled included Jews whose families had legally owned and purchased land for hundreds of years.
Take, for example, the Tzemach synagogue in Jerusalem. In 1847, more than a hundred years earlier, followers of Chabad Lubavitch established and purchased the synagogue in Jerusalem’s Old City. During the 1948 war, the Old City fell under Jordanian control. The Jewish population was expelled, and Jews were denied access to Jerusalem, including the Tzemach Tzedek synagogue.
I really do not want to get too deep into the history because that is not my main point here. There can be disagreements and different perspectives about what happened and to whom, but the focus should be on achieving a long term peace in Israel and the region.
The tweet’s one sided narrative deepens division instead of advancing peace, coexistence, and understanding, and it should never have been posted by the mayor of New York City.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
English
@anaraintuitive @ChabadLubavitch @haim_2010 @NYCMayor Good thing the NAKBA was so important to us that our great grandparents and grandparents who were subjected to Jewish terrorism since before 1948 made sure to pass the story down to us so we may never forget. Bat zona, you're losing. The damage has been done. It's irreversible.

I'm a middle eastern historian. My own family were made refugees. And this is my honest view of the Nakba (“catastrophe”) - the displacement of around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs during the 1947–49 war surrounding the creation of Israel. A thread. 🧵
English
@Linus200712345 @doitagain1940 The nakba wasn't some special event it was a result of one side losing a war they started. what do you think the arabs would have done to the jews if they won (and let me remind you that a not so small part of the arab Salvation army were former nazi soldiers, especially ss ones)

No?

@NYCMayor @arash_tehran The “Nakba” was when an Arab paramilitary group led by a former colonel in the Nazi Wehrmacht - with an official emblem featuring a sword stabbing a Jewish Star of David - failed to carry out a second Holocaust against Jews three years after the Nazi Holocaust

@JeffLonsdale History speaks for itself:

People shouldn’t start a war if they are not prepared for the consequences.
It’s enough with victim hood and time to move forward.

Their Nakba was that they failed to kill the Jews.
They deserve many more Nakbas if they refuse to live in peace.
Captain Allen@CptAllenHistory
This real-time 1948 article from The Economist completely destroys the modern “Nakba” narrative that was invented decades later as political propaganda. Straight from British eyewitnesses in Haifa, October 2, 1948: “Jewish authorities urged all Arabs to remain in Haifa and guaranteed them protection and security ... However, of the 62,000 Arabs who formerly lived in Haifa, not more than 5,000 or 6,000 remained. The most potent factor was the announcements made over the air by the Arab Higher Executive, urging the Arabs to quit ... those who remained and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades.” They didn’t flee because of “Zionist ethnic cleansing.” They fled because Arab leaders ordered them to get out of the way so their armies could “drive the Jews into the sea.” Then they lost the war they started — and spent the next 77 years rewriting history to blame the Jews. The “Nakba” you were taught? Pure revisionist fiction.
English
Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani put out a tweet today celebrating Nakba Day and now his supporters are waving Hezbollah flags in the middle of NYC as news broke today that Hezbollah leaders were just caught plotting to commit acts of Islamic terrorism and mass murder at multiple Jewish sites and synagogues in New York City this week.
Mamdani is an enabler of Islamic terrorism.
It’s only a matter of *when* we have a massive terror attack in New York.
Not *If*.
Many Americans will die. It will be horrible, and Mamdani will be implicated I predict. His purpose is to usher in the death of as many Americans as possible as a Muslim Communist.
He needs to be stopped.

The Nakba — a tragedy that displaced generations of Palestinians and left wounds that still endure. Memory is not erased by time, and dignity is not surrendered under occupation. #Nakba

Nothing like commemorating the failed attempt to murder 600,000 Jews three years after the holocaust
📣 “Nakba” debunked in 5 seconds:
1️⃣ Many Arabs fled because a full-scale war broke out after multiple Arab armies invaded the new Jewish state.
2️⃣ Some fled because Arab leaders and broadcasters exaggerated claims that Jews were massacring entire populations — creating panic that spread rapidly.
3️⃣ Yes, in some areas during an existential war, Israeli forces did expel Arab populations for military/security reasons.
But the myth that the entire Palestinian refugee crisis was a one-sided, pre-planned campaign of ethnic cleansing ignores the actual complexity and chaos of a war launched to destroy Israel in
#NakbaDebunked
English
Today is "Nakba Day," the day 78 years ago that five Arab armies invaded Israel.
May 15, 1948, was supposed to be the end of the Jewish state.
A civil war had already raged for 7 months triggering the flight of hundreds of thousands.
100,000 Jews in Jerusalem had been under siege for 5 months.
The day-old State of Israel was under an arms embargo.
So when the British-trained Arab Legion crossed the Jordan River, Syrian Renault tanks crossed the border, and Egyptian Spitfires bombed Tel Aviv, it was a time of hope and excitement across the Arab world.
But Nakba means “catastrophe.”
Not the catastrophe of them rejecting a Palestinian Arab state.
Not the catastrophe of them losing the UN Partition vote.
Not the catastrophe of triggering the refugee crisis that had already begin months before.
May 15 is not the beginning of the war or even the end of the war.
May 15 marks the catastrophe of the failed attempt to destroy the Jewish state, and the humiliation that followed.
It is not a coincidence that Nakba falls on May 15.
English
The Israeli Foreign Ministry acknowledges the Nakba happened — and then tries to justify why it happened.
Unbelievable.
Israel Foreign Ministry@IsraelMFA
To the Nakba glorifiers: The Nakba was the result of the Arab rejection of the UN Partition Plan & decision to launch war to annihilate the State of Israel. You can't start war, openly vow to “throw the Jews into the sea,” and then pretend being the victim of the conflict you started. The real forgotten victims are the 850,000 Jewish refugees expelled from Arab countries at the same time.
