They’re either morons, or they prefer keeping Hamas.
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.
Absolutely amazing tweet by Nassim Taleb - completely wiping out the history of massive Turkish genocide against Armenian and Greek Christians, not to mention the barbaric ISIS mass murders of Christians
Was listening to @dansenor interview Ron Dermer. Asked what “pro-Israel” means to him, Dermer said: When you hear something terrible about Israel, you’re willing to give Israel the benefit of the doubt, look further into it before instantly believing. A timely observation.
Deportations to Treblinka extermination camp began on this day in 1942. Treblinka was only operational for a little over a year: between July 1942 to August 1943. Within that time, an estimated number of 870,000 Jews were murdered in the camp. Only 67 people are known to have…
Texas is actually one of the more fair maps in America; Democrats got 40% of the House vote & 34% of House seats; reasonable Compare to California, where Republicans got 40% of the vote and 18% of the seats. Or Illinois, where GOP got **47%** of the House vote and 18% of seats
This is not democracy.
Woke Right is the toxic feminization of young men, podcasters, and moral grandstanders. tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
Isn’t the more obvious issue boys growing up without fathers at home? There are whole studies that have been devoted to this subject.
Anyone speculating that we'd have better marriages, fewer boys struggling in school, etc if men just did more housework/childcare needs to actually address that dads are doing more now than they ever have. nytimes.com/2025/07/23/opi…
Open a Bible. Zionism cannot be separated from Judaism.
This graffiti, on the gate of a residential estate in a heavily-Jewish neighbourhood, illustrates the kind of awful discourse that British Jews have to put up with. The Jewish community is constantly being lectured about what Judaism and Jewish identity should and should not be,…
Today, @Columbia finalized discipline for the May 2024 Alumni Weekend Encampment. Mahmoud Khalil participated in that encampment, including fighting with Public Safety officers and crawling into a tent that was being confiscated. Why didn't Columbia discipline him?
.@WSJ front page describes “clashes between Sunni Muslim Bedouins and Druze” which show “the challenges faced by the young government in Damascus.” That seems like a really sanitized way of saying Druze are being slaughtered, and the government is part of the problem.
Yes, Hasan Piker has outed himself as a simple antisemite, but ignore that for a moment. There's something much more interesting happening here: The "proposal," as though new and groundbreaking, that Israeli Jews will one day get up and flee if they're just terrorized and…
Hasan Piker is the most insidious Antisemite influencer Here, he says Israelis should "go back to Brooklyn" and calls them "inbred" All pushed/promoted by @Amazon's streaming service! Check link in replies for a interactive investigation into his chat over a 12 month period⬇️
Hamas
Please tell me, what kind of person starves children to death? What kind of person shoots starving children?
The only reason lies about Israel are so effective is because so many people want to believe the worst about Jews.
“I condemn the killing of all civilians” is his answer because he does not see Jews in Israel as civilians.
Mahmoud Khalil refuses to condemn Hamas because he IS a terrorist sympathizer not because DHS ‘painted’ him as one. He ‘branded’ himself as antisemite through his own hateful behavior and rhetoric. It is a privilege to be granted a visa or green card to live and study in the…
Haaretz already took that lane. The Times of Israel should reclaim its self-respect.
Why are Israeli publications quoting Hamas terrorists as fact?
How many anti-Zionist falsehoods can be squeezed into one tweet?
Mahmoud Khalil & I got to meet up in my office earlier today. I met with him in detention when he spent 104 days behind bars—targeted by Trump for speaking out against Netanyahu’s vicious war in Gaza. Silencing dissent is un-American. We must defend the right to speak freely!

We’re #1! We’re #1! (Can we fix that?)
The DC area officially has the worst traffic in the nation, according to a new report. READ MORE: bit.ly/3UruVqy
This is who Democrats want to tie themselves to, someone who won’t criticize Hamas.
BREAKING: On a Zoom call tonight, Mahmoud Khalil revealed that his meetings with multiple Democrat lawmakers confirmed what he sees as a shift in his favor. According to Khalil, “Palestine is becoming mainstream,” and members of Congress are now “awakened” to what their…
