🎥WATCH: Footage reveals senior Hamas terrorists boasting about their meals in underground terror tunnels, while accusing Israel of “starvation.” The spread shown is not part of the humanitarian aid delivered. As Hamas hoards resources and hides underground, civilians above…

Hamas, emboldened by the idiotic letter this week from Western governments, row back on their agreements and harden their negotiating positions. No words. We are governed by morons.
🚨 Hamas has backtracked on several issues that were already agreed upon, including humanitarian matters. 🚨 According to Hamas's Tuesday response, they are now demanding that all humanitarian aid enter Gaza exclusively through the United Nations, despite previous agreements…

"Peggie had said, repeatedly, that it was a women's space and Upton was male. For that, she was suspended, interrogated, and accused of bigotry - not by patients, but by colleagues whose language around Upton bristled with reverence."

The entire officer corps of an average small-sized country. You might expect to lose 4,681 keen, enthusiastic junior officers in a long war, but 1,066 colonels-majors, presumably all staff-trained planners & career men must be particularly worrying.

Anybody who has ever used the term ‘lived experience’ in earnest to be deported.
What policy would instantly improve your country if adopted tomorrow?
When in 2022, you spread disinformation about the Convoy, "some protesters flew Nazi flags" (not true) while conflating a Charter based protest with your outrage over Jan 6th.. But then 3 short years later, encourage an insurgency against the President of the United States.
The posh opera pro-Pal is every bit as entitled as you’d expect. Apparently Royal Opera House director Oliver Mears who tried to grab the flag told him he’d never work in the venue again. Kudos to Oliver. I hope this is the last anyone sees of annoying opera pro-Pal.

Moore "So it's a really important conversation about what we're going to do and what's most effective and whether or not we want to punish Canadian consumers in an ineffective way just to act tough with no real benefit." @honjamesmoore
The number of casualties in Gaza provided by the “Gaza health ministry” is made up. The Gaza Health Ministry is run by Hamas. Hamas rapes and murders. Turns out they also lie. Shocker. The fact that the world believes them and repeats their lies is despicable.
