Nurden Cross 🇿🇦 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 🎗️

Ik geloof niet in onschuldige Palestijnen. De Gazanen die nu massaal naar ons kikkerlandje komen zijn dezelfde mensen die op 7 oktober juichend de straat opgingen na de slachtpartij op honderden Israëliërs. Op beestachtige wijze uit het leven gerukt💔

Remember when the Free Palestine movement was shouting that the International Court of Justice found plausible evidence of genocide in Gaza? Then why are the President of the Court and the Chief Prosecutor saying there is no evidence? Could it be the same reason Free Palestine was shouting genocide libel even moments after the October 7 attacks? 🤔

Mariupol Half a million people used to live there. They had jobs, schools, restaurants, arguments about football, bad haircuts, mortgages, annoying neighbours, birthday parties, and all the magnificent, boring, irreplaceable machinery of a normal life. Then Russia arrived. Now Mariupol is a photograph that makes you look away. Apartment blocks reduced to their skeletons. Streets that go nowhere because the buildings at the end of them no longer exist. A port city on the Azov Sea that has been methodically turned into a lesson about what happens when nobody stops a man with tanks and no conscience. Five hundred thousand people. Gone, dead, or scattered across a continent. And JD Vance is proud of that. Not quietly conflicted. Not reluctantly neutral for strategic reasons a diplomat might one day explain. Proud. Visibly, performatively, almost joyfully proud that America withheld the weapons, blocked the aid, and let the rubble pile higher while his boss complimented the man doing the demolition. The Trump administration’s Christian base has found, at last, the hill they are willing to die on. Not their hill, obviously. Someone else’s. They have decided that their defining moral achievement, the thing they will tell their grandchildren about, is that they did not help. In a just world, that would be embarrassing. In this one, they’re giving speeches about it. Mariupol had half a million people. That number is apparently not the problem. The problem, according to Washington’s proudest Christians, was being asked to care. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@MadiBoity Not only useless…. dangerous! Dictator loading….

If this guy becomes SA president, I am checking out. I know Ramaphosa is useless as Zuma was, but this one is an embodiment of uselessness.

Genocide is what Hamas tried to do on October the 7th. What came after is war. The truth hurts.

I used to ask: Why is Islam spreading so fast? I asked this, not from a debate mindset, but from a broken one. I was watching my people cling to something that didn’t heal them, and trying to believe something I couldn’t make peace with either. And then my perspective shifted: •What if God didn’t lose control? •What if He’s setting the stage? •What if He allowed darkness to run deep—so when the light breaks through, no one can deny it’s Christ? Because right now, something is happening. Ex-Muslims. Underground believers. People having dreams. Families encountering Jesus. Voices are rising from the places the enemy thought he had locked down. And that changed everything for me. You’re not an accident. You weren’t placed in this tension by mistake. You were chosen to wake up in it, and speak out of it. I don’t have every answer. But I know this: Christ is moving in Muslim communities, and He’s not done. And when we see the full picture… it’s going to be undeniable.

@LCabonena Helen Zille without a doubt. I just wish politicians like her would have a mentorship programme in place to train up younger people to lead and serve with integrity and competence.

Who is it that has stood side by side with Islamists while they have terrorized across the world? Who has defended them? Who has called it resistance, anti-colonialism, and a fight for freedom? Let me answer. The left wing across the world. And then they have the audacity to call us fascists. Let’s talk about what fascism actually is. Mussolini - the founder of fascism - was a socialist his entire life. He founded fascism as a fusion of nationalism and socialism. It was not a right-wing movement. It was a left-wing movement that mutated. Adolf Hitler led the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Workers’ Party. Socialism was in the very name. And yet, for decades, the left wing has very successfully sold the narrative that fascism is a right-wing phenomenon. That it is those on the other side of the political spectrum who are dangerous. It is the most successful propaganda campaign in modern political history. Because who is it that censors today? The left wing. Who is it that silences people who think differently? The left wing. Who is it that uses state power, media, and institutions to control the narrative? The left wing. Who is it that marches side by side with those who execute homosexuals and oppress women? The left wing. That is fascism. And they know it. That is why they scream so loudly - while calling you a racist.❤️‍🔥🪽

Let us settle this once and for all. Who is going to get your vote??? 1= Herman Mashaba 2= Helen Zille.

@DanBurmawy I am a Christian and I 💯 agree with you. Jesus weeps…

When I converted to Christianity I first joined the Catholic Church. I ended up living for a few months at a monastery with priests, talking to them and learning from them on a daily basis. I noticed that they consider Protestants lost without Mary and the saints, and every now and then they would crack a laugh mocking their faith. Then I joined the Protestant church, and there I got to witness how Protestants consider Catholics infidels and pagans going to hell. I am not talking here about personal opinions of Catholics or Protestants, I am talking about the theology of both traditions. Even though the Catholic Church included Protestants in Vatican II, the sentiment didn't really change. I know for a fact that people who take the Protestant faith seriously would never step into a Catholic church, nor would they have spiritual fellowship with Catholics. When Catholics and Protestants do organize ecumenical events, they agree on certain conditions, on what can be said and what can't. Catholics won't invoke Mary; Protestants won't invoke justification by faith alone; and so on. Even within Protestantism, Baptists mock Pentecostals and Pentecostals mock Baptists. There is a silent agreement among followers of all religions that they don't accept each other's faith, and all of them know they mock each other behind closed doors. Why is it that only Jews are required to praise the name of Jesus, a figure they don't recognize as divine, and a figure on whose account they have suffered for centuries? Why do Tucker and the woke Reich go crazy every time Jews express their rejection of Jesus? Jews, as someone once said, are the only group of people demanded to be Christians. This is not fair. Muslims burn churches around the world every day and no one gets punished. But when a Jew does something and gets punished by the Israeli government, the world goes crazy. I am a Christian, and because I am a Christian I reject this double-standard BS.

South Africa took Israel to the International Court of Justice over a genocide that never happened. Meanwhile, in South Africa, violent attacks against migrants from other African countries continue. The audacity to lecture the world on human rights while people are being lynched in the streets.

Miss Israel bumped into Zohran Mamdani’s wife in a Cafe in New York. This is what happened.

Alright, but it *isn't* genocide because the elements of the crime are clearly missing. This is a blood libel that has caused Jews to be murdered. It must stop. Not a single accusation has been able to establish that intent is present to the standard required. Not a single one has used the appropriate legal analysis to make the legal conclusion that they do. Each accusation has systematically ignored the conduct of Hamas in relation to informing us about Israeli conduct and what is permissible. This violates the key provisions of the jurisprudence because it ignores the test that must be taken, known as the only reasonable inference test. Here, from Bosnia v. Serbia (2007), para. 373: “The dolus specialis, the specific intent to destroy the group in whole or in part, has to be convincingly shown by reference to particular circumstances, unless a general plan to that end can be convincingly demonstrated to exist; and for a pattern of conduct to be accepted as evidence of its existence, it would have to be that it could only point to the existence of such intent.” When each accusation ignores the conduct of Hamas, it fails to assess the reasonable alternative explanations. If there exists reasonable alternative explanations, such as human shielding (see: GCIV 28 & API 51(7)), weaponization of healthcare infrastructure (see: GCIV 19), diversion of aid (see: GCIV 23), it cannot possibly be genocide. We do know, with plenty of evidence, that each of these is relevant to the analysis because we know that Hamas has utilized human shielding (they admit to it and have done this for decades), have weaponized hospitals (Mohammad Sinwar was killed under the European hospital and we hear from Gazans about the presence of armed militants), and have diverted aid (Al Jazeera confirmed this just yesterday), then it cannot possibly be found that dolus specialis is present. If dolus specialis is not present, it cannot be genocide. Moreover, substantiality is very clearly missing. From, Krstić: "It is well established that where a conviction for genocide relies on the intent to destroy a protected group “in part,” the part must be a substantial part of that group. The aim of the Genocide Convention is to prevent the intentional destruction of entire human groups, and the part targeted must be significant enough to have an impact on the group as a whole. Although the Appeals Chamber has not yet addressed this issue, two Trial Chambers of this Tribunal have examined it. In Jelisić, the first case to confront the question, the Trial Chamber noted that, “[g]iven the goal of the [Genocide] Convention to deal with mass crimes, it is widely acknowledged that the intention to destroy must target at least a substantial part of the group.” The same conclusion was reached by the Sikirica Trial Chamber: “This part of the definition calls for evidence of an intention to destroy a substantial number relative to the total population of the group.” As these Trial Chambers explained, the substantiality requirement both captures genocide’s defining character as a crime of massive proportions and reflects the Convention’s concern with the impact the destruction of the targeted part will have on the overall survival of the group." In Sikirica the chamber stipulated that about 3% is not substantial enough to constitute genocide. In Gaza the death toll, including combatants and not accounting for live births (which outnumber measured death) is about 3.25%. If we want to discuss live births, we would see population increase over the course of the war. Per Save the Children, the UN, and Palestinian Ministry of Health officials the births throughout the war ranged from about 4,000 - 5,500 per month. 4,000(30)=120,000 5,500(30)=165,000 120,000-72,500=+47,500 165,000-72,500=+92,500 So, we can demonstrate that the population has not decreased as measured in death vs. birth, but the opposite. It is very clearly not genocide if you actually understand what genocide is and how it works. This is very clearly a blood libel that has caused the very harm you are saying you are speaking against, @shannonrwatts. I think your heart is in the right place, Shannon. But I also think that you are helping cause the very problem you are speaking against here by helping perpetuate the blood libel that is very clearly erroneous and has caused real and demonstrable harm against Jews. You cannot be an ally and spread the blood libel. And you must stop pushing it.

A little history for those frauds wanting to “restore Palestine”: 1: Before Israel, there was the British Mandate, not a Palestinian state. 2: Before the British Mandate, there was the Ottoman Empire, not a Palestinian state. 3: Before the Ottoman Empire, there was the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, not a Palestinian state. 4: Before the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, there was the Ayyubid Arab-Kurdish Empire, not a Palestinian state. 5: Before the Ayyubid Empire, there was the Frankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, not a Palestinian state. 6: Before the Kingdom of Jerusalem, there were the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, not a Palestinian state. 7: Before the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, there was the Byzantine Empire, not a Palestinian state. 8: Before the Byzantine Empire, there were the Sassanids, not a Palestinian state. 9: Before the Sassanid Empire, there was the Byzantine Empire, not a Palestinian state. 10: Before the Byzantine Empire, there was the Roman Empire, not a Palestinian state. 11: Before the Roman Empire, there was the Hasmonean state, not a Palestinian state. 12: Before the Hasmonean state, there was the Seleucid Empire, not a Palestinian state. 13: Before the Seleucid Empire, there was the empire of Alexander the Great, not a Palestinian state. 14: Before the empire of Alexander the Great, there was the Persian Empire, not a Palestinian state. 15: Before the Persian Empire, there was the Babylonian Empire, not a Palestinian state. 16: Before the Babylonian Empire, there were the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, not a Palestinian state. 17: Before the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, there was the Kingdom of Israel, not a Palestinian state. 18: Before the Kingdom of Israel, there was the theocracy of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, not a Palestinian state. 19: Before the theocracy of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, there was an agglomeration of independent Canaanite city-kingdoms, not a Palestinian state. 20: Before the agglomeration of independent Canaanite city-kingdoms, there was God. The Kingdom of David — a historic map for those wondering how the region looked over 2,000 years ago.

The so-called “Greater Israel project” is a hoax. Israel has never sought to expand beyond its borders. If Israel hadn’t been attacked in 1948, no Arabs would have been displaced. If Nasser hadn’t massed troops in the Sinai Peninsula, expelled UN peacekeepers, and closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping in 1967, Israel wouldn’t have taken control of Sinai, which it later returned for peace. If Jordan hadn’t joined the war in 1967, Israel wouldn’t have taken control of the West Bank or Gaza, even though the West Bank is historically Jewish land, known for centuries as Judea and Samaria. If Syria hadn’t attempted ground attacks on June 8–9, Israel wouldn’t have taken control of the Golan Heights, which it later offered to return to Assad in exchange for peace, as Mubarak testified, but Assad refused. If Yasser Arafat hadn’t walked away from Camp David II in 2000, there would already be a Palestinian state. If terrorists hadn’t targeted Israeli civilians, there wouldn’t be a single checkpoint. And if, after Israel’s full withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, the Palestinians had chosen to build a thriving, peaceful society instead of launching rockets, there would have been no wars from 2006 to 2023. Every war, every occupation, every checkpoint has been a response, not a pretext.

The truth the world ignores about Gaza Hamas and Islamic Jihad built a 620 km underground tunnel network — turning the entire Gaza Strip into a massive military fortress. This is why large parts of Gaza were destroyed. Hamas didn’t build bomb shelters for civilians — they built a terror city underground and used their own people as human shields above ground. Destroying these tunnels is completely legitimate. The destruction of Gaza is Hamas’s fault — not Israel’s.

An MP is in the police van, and we have many in that parliament who must join him. We have been led by criminals for a long time, and this must come to an end.

@s_m_marandi Correction: the assault is NOT against the Iranian people — it’s is against the Iranian Regime. BIG difference! You are twisting the truth 🙄

The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan are assisting the Trump regime - and by extension Netanyahu - in preparing for an imminent major assault against the Iranian people. This is one act of treachery too many. The people of Iran will be unforgiving.

No you’re right it didn’t start on October 7th. Here’s a list of all attacks and massacres perpetrated by the Arabs against the Jews in the Middle East since 622 AD to present day. Don’t forget to bookmark this.

The main problem for the Palestinians is they want to murder Jews and Jews really don’t like being murdered. One of those two attitudes has to change for there to be peace.
