It was true after Jan 6 and it's true today. If you think it only applies to one side of the political spectrum, you haven't learned the heuristic yet. Go and learn. stephaniehuston.medium.com/how-you-can-re…

Brad Lander spent months groveling before the anti-Israel & Islamo-left crowd in a desperate attempt to be accepted as one of the "good Jews."
Turns out appeasement has no finish line.
"Grovel more, dhimmi."

Antizionism in academia has not only been tolerated – it's been enforced.
Speaking at the European Parliament in Brussels, philosopher and independent scholar Maarten Boudry (@mboudry) argues that the apparent academic “consensus” accusing Israel of genocide is not a true consensus at all – but the result of ideological pressure and what psychologists call a “spiral of silence.”
Behind closed doors, he says, many academics privately dissent.
But in public, almost none are willing to say so...

Stand up to hate.
Stand up to antisemitism.
We need more love in this world.

“Not interested in working for a jew” This kid applied to our job on handshake, we accepted him, and then he responded this. He probably knows nothing about Jews accept for what they tell him in college and on social media. Sad world.

Not a Good Jewish Girl✡️@estherzelda0514
I love it when people accuse me of using AI to write my posts. Being widely read and having decent grammar is so rare right now that only machines do it. It's like we as a society reversed the Turing Test so you're only human if you're an idiot. I read a lot of nonfiction, up to six books a month. I have a PhD. Even so, I make typos in my posts all the time. Yes, I sometimes look up things, but I already know what I'm looking up before I do, I'm just generally checking terminology, dates, and names. AI is powerful, but it's only as good as user input and its own training data. It makes the searches faster and more accurate, but it's no substitute for actual human knowledge.

@RBaruch May her memory be a blessing. Her heroism will not be forgotten.

June 14, 2017: our daughter Rebecca Baruch graduated from high school in the Netherlands. Weeks later she made aliyah. After a preparatory year, she joined the #IDF, serving for four years before returning to duty on the afternoon of October 7, 2023. Rebecca passed away on January 21, 2024. She is buried on Mount Herzl, the only female soldier of this war accorded that honor, plot 18A - third row from the top, third grave from the left. She lived it in service of something larger than herself. #RebeccaBaruch #AmYisraelChai 🇮🇱🕯️

Vivian Silver was murdered by the very people she devoted her life to helping. They used their personal knowledge of her and her neighbors' homes and routines to gleefully murder them.
AJ Edelman@realajedelman
Actually I have a story that you'll love about this. It's very heartwarming, and I'm sure quite moving for you, such an altruist. Just a few years ago there was a really wonderful woman named Vivian Silver. She was Jewish with a passion for helping Palestinians. She dedicated her life to assisting Arabs near the border where she lived in kibbutz beeri. She protested every war even when it was unpopular. She would personally drive Palestinians to medical appointments. She established economic cooperative centers. Vivian Silver was a Good woman. Then one day thousands of her neighbors, the ones she had cared for for decades broke into her home. Young men and children as young as seven participated in an attempted genocide and system of weaponized rape of her community. It took 5 weeks for a pathologist to identify her body in her own home. Yeah. You can write all the pretty words you want about visiting whoever you want. But at the end of the day in 30 years, you're still going to be making the same stupid 160 character arguments while my kids fight to protect people like Vivian. Maybe it's time to think in complexities larger than a sentence. After all, this is serious.

Two Jewish students built a business. A Cornell classmate rejected their job offer — in writing — because he was "not interested in working for a Jew."
They kept his name private. They just wanted proof that antisemitism is real, not imagined or exaggerated.
He outed himself.
And their reward for that restraint? They're the ones paying the price.
A flood of vile hate — most of it right here on X.
People aren't just defending him. They're saying Jew-hatred is justified.
These young men aren't asking for his punishment. They're asking for accountability for the hatred now being directed at them.
Elon — this is happening on X every single day.

@HarrisonHSmith The idea that Gabe is playing the victim and not the other kid is next level gaslighting.
Gabe refused to post the kids name or information, then the kid publicly says it's him, cries victim, and starts a GoFundMe.
Your followers can't be this dumb.

Amazing how fast it goes from
“Be a strong Jew. Make them afraid.”
To
“This guy just wants to destroy my business, and take down any Jewish person! 😭”
Attack, then play the victim. Classic!

My name is Gabe Einhorn. I’m a 24 year old founder, building VryfID, which verifies renters identity and income, then matches them with apartments they can actually afford. For landlords, this helps them fill units faster, increase occupancy, and raise NOI. I posted last week about an antisemitic incident, and since then it has blown up everywhere. Social media is flooded with people who hate Jews, and their only goal is to try to destroy us, as you see below. This guy just wants to destroy my business, and take down any Jewish person. Thank God, there are many good people out there who have been supporting me, and who are standing up to hate. If you are seeing this and want to be involved with what we are building, both with VryfID, as well as our fight against hate, please reach out.

I suspect Google will not take kindly to Mo Khan's open attempt to coordinate fraud (or his open bigotry). With any luck, all he'll end up accomplishing is bringing VryfID to the attention of more potential clients.

I'll do a full thread on it when the election gets closer, but the NY-13 primary astounds me.
It is going to be a battle between the gentrifiers and the poorer areas, with the gentrifiers loudly proclaiming that their whole purpose is to support those with less.

We now know from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Israel that The New York Times was made aware weeks before publishing Nicholas Kristof’s explosive op-ed that the independent commission, an NGO, was investigating and going to report on Hamas’ systemic use of sexual violence against Israeli women, girls, and men. Remember, initially, we all thought it was just women and girls, and that was horrible enough. We now know Hamas at gunpoint forced men to have sexual relations with family members in their homes, something we really haven’t seen in the world much since Rwanda. Horrible stuff. And The New York Times, according to Israel and the NGO, was made aware that this report was going come out May 12th. The NGO, independent from the government of Israel, asked for permission to run an article detailing its findings in The New York Times. The New York Times responded that they were not interested in running an article on Hamas’ use of sexual violence against Israelis. And then the day before—not a week before, not a month before, not a week after—the day before, on May 11th, The New York Times runs this explosive Kristof piece. Remember, The New York Times had said it was not interested in this subject. Then, the day before the NGO released its report, the paper ran an explosive piece that blamed the victims. Now, the Israelis are the perpetrators of mass systemic sexual violence against Palestinians. It flips everything on its head.

Everyone will have their take on the deal.
Mine is kinda what you'd expect.
1. Trump caved. The early-May naval attempt to break the closure of Hormuz -- Project Freedom -- could have worked. He didn't give it a chance.
2. He may nevertheless have done the right thing from an American perspective. On the larger chessboard, the one where America is curtailing Chinese lines of influence and supply on all fronts, he's gotten everything he needs. Iran's nuclear program is also set back dramatically. And worrying about gas prices come November is an extremely valid concern for an American president.
As I argued back in February, the US and Israel weren't fighting the same war. Roughly 80% of each side's war overlapped with the other's. But toward the end, their interests would diverge and America would bow out.
And so it was.
3. Israel remains in the region, Hezbollah remains ensconced in Lebanon and committed to murdering us all, Iran remains the same muqawama regime it always was, committed to mass-murder and mass-sacrifice of its own people. The decades-long war between the muqawama ideology and the Jews of Israel continues.
4. Israelis owe the United States a vast and abiding debt of gratitude for what it has done to Iran's missile and nuclear programs. That this finished on America's timetable rather than ours, that it was doing it for its own interests and not ours, these don't diminish the fact that we received from America more than we had a right to ask for.
5. And still, #3 remains true. We fight on. Because that regime is undeterrable, actually wants to destroy us all, and like the Nasserist ideology that once sent army after army at us to destroy us, will require a few more wars and perhaps another decade or two to defeat completely.
6. The new IRGC military dictatorship now in charge in Iran is built to survive catastrophe. But not to govern, reform or build anything of value.
Some commentators on the deal have suggested that the most damaging thing you could do to the Iranian regime at this point is send it back to its embittered people to try to govern the peace.
I think they might be onto something. It'd be a much safer and happier and more peaceful region if the regime falls from within and a new and better day dawns for the long-suffering people of Iran.

Revisionists have been wielding anti-Jewish discrimination as a weapon against Western powers for about a century. Its origins can be traced to Alfred Hess, the younger brother of Hitler’s deputy Rudolf Hess.
After serving under the Kaiser in World War I, Alfred returned to Alexandria in 1924. There, he helped establish the fledgling Nazi Party (NSDAP) presence in Egypt in 1926. He later moved to Cairo in 1927 to manage his family’s Hess & Co. branch, which served as the company’s regional headquarters and commercial base. In 1933, he formally founded the Landesgruppe Ägypten in Cairo.
The Hess family, wealthy German merchants with longstanding business roots in Alexandria, provided the networks and cover that facilitated Nazi engagement in the region. Through Alfred Hess’s connections, Nazi agents distributed antisemitic pamphlets on “the Jewish Question” and cultivated relationships among Egyptian elites. These networks quickly extended to Hasan al-Banna’s newly formed Muslim Brotherhood, established in Ismailia in 1928, and to the British Mandate’s leading Palestinian Arab figure, Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini.
Al-Banna’s Muslim Brotherhood became a major conduit for Nazi propaganda in the 1930s. It circulated Arabic translations of Mein Kampf and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, while mounting joint opposition to Jewish immigration, Zionism, and British rule. Nazi Germany provided both funding and ideological support to the Brotherhood, viewing it as a useful anti-British force. The Nazis also collaborated directly with the Mufti.
From their earliest contacts, these groups helped al-Husseini incite the 1929 Hebron massacre and riots, which ethnically cleansed centuries-old Jewish communities. They later coordinated the 1936–1939 Arab Revolt. In 1941, al-Husseini helped orchestrate the pro-Nazi Golden Square coup in Iraq, which triggered the Farhud massacre in Baghdad, a pogrom that killed hundreds of Jews and wounded over a thousand.
After the Farhud, Haj Amin al-Husseini fled to Germany via Iran. In Berlin, he used the Zeesen radio transmitter to broadcast Nazi propaganda across the Middle East, helped the Nazis recruit Muslim SS units, and continued close collaboration with Nazi elites.
The Muslim Brotherhood, the Palestinian nationalist project led by the Mufti, and the Nazis emerged from the same interwar period as a grotesque ideological triplet. It should therefore come as no surprise that segments of the ideologically captured far-right in the West today are simultaneously anti-Jewish and pro-Islamist. This alignment represents roughly a century of ideological convergence, cooperation, and shared anti-Western and anti-Jewish incitement.
This is why the term IslamoNazism has earned purchase, not merely as incendiary polemic, but as a historically grounded description of that specific convergence.
Visegrád 24@visegrad24
A Jewish woman and an Arab man from Hebron speak about how they remember the Hebron Massacre in 1929. The city’s Muslims launched an unprovoked attack on the Jewish population on August 24th, killing 69 people including women, children and the elderly.

For those who haven't been following -- and nobody's been following because nobody cares, least of all the journalists' NGOs -- Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been steadily releasing death notifications for one "journalist" after another, listing them invariably as fighters and commanders in the organizations' ranks.
It's dozens now. Maybe more.
But the "Israel targets journalists" meme is forever. The facts will never penetrate the thick fog of ideological confirmation bias that has overtaken the NGO and activism world and its journalistic arms in the mainstream media.
Literally no one cares about whether journalists were actually hunted down by Israel, as it was depicted by @pressfreedom and others, or whether Hamas used fake "journalist" claims to protect combatant commanders, counting on a global NGO and media ecosystem it knew was looking to confirm its biases.
No one will examine these falsehoods or report on them in a visible way because no one cares about the wellbeing of the real journalists, who are desperately endangered when combatant commanders are labeled "journalists" -- and even the world's major journalist advocacy groups decide to play along.
Aizenberg@Aizenberg55
🧵FAKE Gaza Journalist Alert: Helmi Al-Faqawi is listed by @pressfreedom as a journalist killed by the IDF at a "reporter's tent" at Nasser Hospital. But PIJ confirmed he was a commander—he used the hospital as a base. The 14th fake journalist outed in the last few weeks. 1/

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahiim;
I have arrived in Israel as the first President of the Republic of Somaliland to undertake a State Visit, and I am honoured by the warm welcome extended by my friend, President @Isaac_Herzog
For thirty-five years, the people of Somaliland have built a peaceful, democratic, and resilient nation. We asked the world: Do you see us? Israel answered first. Today marks a historic milestone in our journey and the beginning of a new chapter in the relationship between Somaliland and Israel.
To the people of Somaliland: I carry your hopes and aspirations with me. Generations have struggled, sacrificed, and persevered to bring our nation to this moment. We will seize this opportunity with confidence, wisdom, and determination, always guided by the interests of our people and our Republic.
Today, history is being written, and Somaliland stands ready to forge a shared future founded on friendship, cooperation, and mutual respect.

Being pro-genocide of Jews is not an excuse for fracturing an innocent person's spine with a sledgehammer.

If ‘activists’ cared about the human rights of Gazans trapped in the conflict, they would at minimum decry Hamas’s brutal public executions, maiming, and torture of Gaza residents on the open streets, for the whole world to see. But those episodes were met with silence and continue to be. It’s not a just cause. It’s warmongering for the eliminationist cause of designated terrorists vying for the destruction of Jewish sovereignty. The truth, put tersely, is ugly as sin.

One of the most troubling aspects of the Palestine Action/Elbit case is the moral psychology involved.
It is what happens when a political cause becomes a total identity and creates the opportunity for malign actors to exploit it.
Once “Palestine” is transformed from a cause into a sacred symbol of moral standing, ordinary ethical boundaries begin to collapse. Violence is described as “direct action,” criminal damage as “solidarity,” arrest as “repression,” and prison as martyrdom.
The worker in the factory, the police officer with a family, the public frightened by political violence, even the activist discarding their own future, all fade into a heroic narrative about resistance.
It is radicalisation. Outrage narrows the mind; group approval encourages escalation; online applause replaces conscience. The slogan provides moral permission, and the crowd offers emotional insulation. Every consequence is then reinterpreted as proof that the system is evil, making self-correction nearly impossible.
The most tragic aspect is how cheaply lives are destroyed. People with futures sacrifice them for a fantasy of moral purity. Supporters enjoy the warm glow of righteousness. The accused face the sentence, the criminal record, the terrorist notification requirements, and the ruin of adulthood.
You can care about Palestinians without excusing political violence. You can condemn civilian suffering without romanticising criminality or being duped by false propaganda narratives about “genocide”.
Having a just cause does not make a person just. Sometimes the most dangerous lie people tell themselves is that because they have chosen the “right side”, anything they do in its name must be good.
