We are living in the generation of the strongest Jews in history. Witnessing it unfold is not just surreal—it’s a privilege.
The UN worked with Hamas for years as it built terror tunnels under schools and hospitals while it fired rockets into Israel from civilian populated areas —yet refuses to work with an agency that's better at keeping aid from Hamas. Let that absurdness sink in.
One day, we will learn the true extent of the UN's complicity in what we are seeing unfold in Gaza.
This UN official is saying that the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state isn’t enough. That state needs to have no military restrictions. Lunacy.
"Demilitarisation of Palestine"? As Israel commits genocide in its most sadistic forms, are new conditions being quietly slipped into the defunct peace process? And still no word on justice, accountability, or reparations, without which peace is unacceptable (post-WWII history…
Welcome to the embarrassing, pathetic, ineffective & highly destructive state of "pro-Palestine" activism 2 years after October 7, where a simple condemnation of a terrorist group, Hamas, that destroyed Gaza & decimated Palestinian lives, is still refused & too much to ask for.
Hamas slaughtered, mutilated, raped, and kidnapped more than 1,500 Israelis and then hid behind civilians in Gaza while it stole thousands of tons of humanitarian assistance provided by Israel. Remember that, @CNN?
Starving Gazans is what Hamas wanted all along, and the UN made sure to hand it over on a silver platter.
When we mean that October 7th elevated the tolerated ceiling of antisemitism in the West exponentially, this is what we’re referring to:
The UN is starving Palestinians in Gaza to protest new distribution methods outside its jurisdiction—methods that reportedly reduce diversion to Hamas. That’s where we are.
Hundreds of trucks worth of aid is sitting inside Gaza, as we reported days ago. Five separate routes were offered to the UN to distribute this aid, I’m told. Palestinian civilians are in desperate need of this humanitarian support.
Yes, while the UN is actively preventing humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, while it alleges that Israel is pursuing a policy of mass starvation. Hamas has no reason to acquiesce.
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.
Here’s what seems to be happening in Gaza: Hamas claimed that 15 civilians were killed by IDF forces at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution site. Without independent verification, this claim was quickly picked up by media outlets around the world. In response, the…
Nearly 1,000 trucks of humanitarian assistance are waiting at the Israel-Gaza border, waiting to be let in. Who is holding up the convoy? The UN. You'd think if starvation and genocide were happening in Gaza, the UN would let the aid in. Ask yourselves why it isn't.
The same type of moron that thinks the UN Human Rights Council would condemn Israel more frequently than it would Iran, Iraq, Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, and Syria combined.
Imagine what a brainwashed moron you have to be in order to think that every aid agency on earth is lying and only the country slaughtering thousands of children is telling the truth.
Israel investigates. It finds itself at fault. Provides an explanation, and apologizes for the error. This isn’t a genocide. It’s the consequence of fighting an undesired war in one of the densest urban settings in the world. Stop swallowing Hamas propaganda.
IDF finished its inquiry into the mortar hitting the Catholic Church in Gaza City. “During operational activity by IDF troops in the area of Gaza City, the church was accidentally hit due to an unintentional deviation of munitions. The impact caused damage to the structure and…
The source for this is the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry.
15 people have died of starvation in Gaza in the past 24 hours — including a 6-week-old baby. Mothers and fathers have no food or water to survive or feed their children. Families waiting in line for humanitarian aid are being indiscriminately shot. This is a moral catastrophe.…
This is deeply wrong on multiple levels. The United States and every democratic country should condemn any foreign arrest of a citizen based solely on politically motivated, third-party accusations of war crimes, especially when there is no connection to the detaining country.…
🔴 Deeply troubling: Two Israelis — an IDF soldier and a civilian — were detained in Belgium after an anti-Israel NGO accused them of war crimes. They were in the country as tourists attending the Tomorrowland music festival. Belgian authorities acted on the complaint under a…
Hard to envision when a majority of Palestinians celebrated or viewed positively the October 7th Massacre.
There is only one solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Equal rights for all, supremacy for none.
So sorry it’s inconvenient for you to remember my murdered relatives while you march in support of people who want to kill me, too.
Germany’s citizens are, not without missteps, navigating tricky questions of history, identity and geopolitics in their concerns about Israel’s war in Gaza. Its politicians have some catching up to do econ.st/3THvD2N Illustration: Peter Schrank
