BREAKING: New Palestinian public opinion poll released by PCPSR — the first since October 7th. Main findings: 🔸️72% support the 10/7 massacre 🔸️Support for Hamas triples in West Bank (82% supported the massacre) 🔸️Support for "armed struggle" rises ten pts to +60%

@EFischberger - Eitan Fischberger

🔸️Only 10% of Palestinians think Hamas committed war crimes. Relatedly, 85% did not see any of the footage released from 10/7. 🔸️When asked about their own preferences for the party that should be in control in the Gaza Strip after the war, 60% (75% in the West Bank but only 38% in the Gaza Strip) selected Hamas 🔸️For the Arab/regional actors, the highest level of satisfaction went to Yemen (80%; 89% in the West Bank and 68% in the Gaza Strip), followed by Qatar (56%), Hizballah (49%), Iran (35%), Turkey (34%), Jordan (24%), Egypt (23%), UAE (8), and finally Saudi Arabia (5%). 🔸️If new presidential elections were held today and only two candidates, Mahmoud Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh, the voter turnout would be only 53%, and among those who would participate, Abbas would receive 16% of the vote and Haniyeh 78% (compared to 58% for Haniyeh and 37% for Abbas three months ago).

X: It's time to talk about 'Transphobia' 1. This word has been imbued with so much power that it shuts down all thought and debate. 2. A phobia is an IRRATIONAL fear of something, that is out of proportion to the actual danger presented by that thing.

@Psychgirl211 - Dr P

3. Most phobias have their roots in our evolutionary biology - we tend to be phobic of things that could kill or harm us: snakes, insects, heights, germs, etc. 4. In every human society, about 98% of murders, rapes and violent crimes are committed by men. Most victims are female

@Psychgirl211 - Dr P

5. Evolution has, therefore, endowed women with a keen awareness of the danger posed by men. Fearing males is an adaptive survival response. 6. To help keep us safe, we've also evolved an almost instantaneous ability to recognise human males, regardless of how they 'present'.

@Psychgirl211 - Dr P

7. Women are now being told we must shut off a psychological and biological response mechanism that has evolved over millions of years. 8. When we object, we're accused of 'Transphobia'. However, our fear of males is an entirely RATIONAL and NORMATIVE response.

@Psychgirl211 - Dr P

9. As a clinical psychologist, I have treated and helped people with all manner of phobias, which were interfering with their daily lives. 10. But it is neither irrational nor out of proportion for women, in general, to be afraid of men.

@Psychgirl211 - Dr P

11. We need to reject the entire premise of 'Transphobia'. It is a meaningless word, used, cave-man like, to bludgeon women into passivity and submission. 12. If, without any rational basis, we hated 'Trans' people, the correct word would be TRANSODIUM, not Transphobia.

@Psychgirl211 - Dr P

13. It's probably too late to reframe the meaning of the word but ladies especially, can we stop being terrified of being called 'Transphobic'? 14. Its use has been a masterful example of psy-ops, by the TRAs against us.

@Psychgirl211 - Dr P

15. And if it wasn't for the 'phobia' (ie inbuilt danger-recognition system) of our female progenitors, none of us would be here today. 16. Should you be scared of a man in a dress in the loo, or changing room, or hospital ward next to you? Hell yes, you should!

Some have remarked that kids easily complied with the Covid rules. They stayed home, masked up, got vaxxed, etc. But now these same kids are flouting the rules to join antisemitic rallies, bully, some calling for genocide.  From rule followers to rule breakers. But are they? 🧵

@MSmelkinsonPhD - Margery Smelkinson, Ph.D.

These outcomes may be different but the reasons behind them are the same.  They are doing what's in fashion.  They are doing what is aligned with the groupthink.  They are buying what they are sold in the media.  They are silencing and ostracizing dissenters.

@MSmelkinsonPhD - Margery Smelkinson, Ph.D.

They are told that demonizing others is a form of social justice. From Covid to now, it has become clear that we are raising a generation of people that cannot think for themselves and can be easily manipulated. The evident dangers of this are now undeniable.

Oakland, CA - employees at Farley's East coffee house (33 Grand Ave.) are filmed denying a Jewish woman's access to a bathroom after she complained is was filled with antisemitic graffiti. After FINALLY allowing her inside the restroom, the employees start on fanatic rants including "it’s not 1948” and “you can’t steal private property like in Israel." All three employee need to be fired - this is INEXCUSABLE!

For all the fans of “It’s A Wonderful Life” and Jimmy Stewart . . . Just months after winning his 1941 Academy Award for best actor in “The Philadelphia Story,” Jimmy Stewart, one of the best-known actors of the day, left Hollywood and joined the US Army. He was the first big-name movie star to enlist in World War II. An accomplished private pilot, the 33-year-old Hollywood icon became a US Army Air Force aviator, earning his 2nd Lieutenant commission in early 1942. With his celebrity status and huge popularity with the American public, he was assigned to starring in recruiting films, attending rallies, and training younger pilots. Stewart, however, wasn’t satisfied. He wanted to fly combat missions in Europe, not spend time in a stateside training command. By 1944, frustrated and feeling the war was passing him by, he asked his commanding officer to transfer him to a unit deploying to Europe. His request was reluctantly granted. Stewart, now a Captain, was sent to England, where he spent the next 18 months flying B-24 Liberator bombers over Germany. Throughout his time overseas, the US Army Air Corps' top brass had tried to keep the popular movie star from flying over enemy territory. But Stewart would hear nothing of it. Determined to lead by example, he bucked the system, assigning himself to every combat mission he could. By the end of the war he was one of the most respected and decorated pilots in his unit. But his wartime service came at a high personal price. In the final months of WWII he was grounded for being “flak happy,” today called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). When he returned to the US in August 1945, Stewart was a changed man. He had lost so much weight that he looked sickly. He rarely slept, and when he did he had nightmares of planes exploding and men falling through the air screaming (in one mission alone his unit had lost 13 planes and 130 men, most of whom he knew personally). He was depressed, couldn’t focus, and refused to talk to anyone about his war experiences. His acting career was all but over. As one of Stewart's biographers put it, "Every decision he made [during the war] was going to preserve life or cost lives. He took back to Hollywood all the stress that he had built up.” In 1946 he got his break. He took the role of George Bailey, the suicidal father in “It’s a Wonderful Life.” The rest is history. Actors and crew of the set realized that in many of the disturbing scenes of George Bailey unraveling in front of his family, Stewart wasn’t acting. His PTSD was being captured on film for potentially millions to see. But despite Stewart's inner turmoil, making the movie was therapeutic for the combat veteran. He would go on to become one of the most accomplished and loved actors in American history. When asked in 1941 why he wanted to leave his acting career to fly combat missions over Nazi Germany, he said, "This country's conscience is bigger than all the studios in Hollywood put together, and the time will come when we'll have to fight.” This weekend, as many of us watch the classic Christmas film, “It’s A Wonderful Life,” it’s also a fitting time to remember the sacrifices of Jimmy Stewart and all the men who gave up so much to serve their country during wartime. We will always remember you! Postscript: While fighting in Europe, Stewart's Oscar statue was proudly displayed in his father’s Pennsylvania hardware store. Throughout his life, the beloved actor always said his father, a World War I veteran, was the person who had made the biggest impact on him. Jimmy Stewart was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1985 and died in 1997 at the age of 89. H/T @mustangmarine

Thread. 1. Over the past month, the Hamas atrocities have revealed a shifting of worldviews in the West in ways that were not as broadly recognized as before the attacks, although the signs were there. Many now ask, “How did we get here?”

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

2. I believe the Harry Potter series and the @jk_rowling disavowal saga offer a window to the rise of a worldview in the West incapable of condemning the Hamas atrocities.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling 3. Here is my thesis: many former Harry Potter fans have adopted the worldview of the antagonist character Voldemort, and this mirrors growing adoption in the West of a worldview incapable of condemning evil.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling 4. The Harry Potter series takes place in a world of magic people hidden among the ordinary “muggle” world. It involves an existential battle between good and evil with a host of smaller battles among various characters personifying the imperfect human condition along the way.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling 5. It is well-written, and for many in a whole generation, it was their first foray into relatively heavy reading for young adults.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling 6. You can see how this series would captivate young adults seeking escapism from normal young adult stress, especially for LGBT-identifying youth. Such readers would obviously be likely to identify with a magic community hiding its identity from the “normal” world of the 2000s.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling 7. However, and painting with broad brush, many if not most trans-identifying or adjacent former fans now disavow author JK Rowling over her defense of sex-based differences and rights.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling 8. The evolution of both the attachment of trans-identifying readers to Harry Potter and their eventual disavowal of JK Rowling is reviewed in detail in the podcast The Witch Trials of JK Rowling by @meganphelps. I won’t rehash that here.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 9. What I do want to highlight here is that not only have many readers disavowed JK Rowling, they have also adopted the worldview of Voldemort, the leading antagonist in JK Rowling’s work.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 10. Voldemort seeks to subjugate the muggle world and root out any muggle blood from the magic community. He describes his worldview in the first book when he invites Harry to join him, saying, “There is no good and evil, there is only power and those too weak to seek it.”

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 11. Voldemort is a textbook critical theorist. He doesn’t believe in objective good or evil. Instead he views the very concept of good and evil as at most a tool of those in power to maintain such power through purported social moral justification.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 12. Under such worldview, nothing can be objectively good, and nothing can be objectively evil. Instead, the only absolute lens through which to judge the world is power. The ascendant oppressor-oppressed lens (which focuses of who holds power) applies this same view.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 13. The readers who disavow JK Rowling largely do not view the world through the lens of good and evil. They view it through the oppressor-oppressed lens, with themselves being the oppressed.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 14. Under such lens, they can “contextualize” any evil action (such as death threats against JK Rowling) so long as it serves the ends of the oppressed. It such case, in their view, the action is not evil.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 15. This ideology propelled Voldemort to power, as he continued the similar critical theory ideology pushed by another evil character Grindelwald a few generations prior.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 16. Grindelwald also sought subjugation of the muggle world. In today’s speak, we would call it “decolonization” of muggles. His “contextualization” for such efforts rested on the magic community’s historic “oppressed” status at the hands of the muggle world.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 17. Notably, protagonist character Dumbledore (an academic intellectual) was initially enamored by Grindelwald’s grandiose plans until eventually disavowing the objectively evil means by which Grindelwald used to impose his worldview.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 18. In the real world today, the same readers who disavowed JK Rowling now largely fall into groups who “contextualize,” rather than condemn, the Hamas atrocities. You see this, for example, in the “Queers for Palestine” movement.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 19. Their refusal to condemn the Hamas atrocities relies on the same worldview as Voldemort. It is the fruit of a critical theorist worldview that does not believe in objective good or evil.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 20. The rapid disavowal of JK Rowling by her readers is likely associated with the rise of a critical theory worldview among such readers.

@CreedVol - CreedVolunteer

@jk_rowling @meganphelps 21. If you adopt the worldview of Voldemort, it makes sense that you will eventually disavow JK Rowling. If you deny the existence of good, you will eventually disavow all that is good. If you disavow good, you will eventually justify evil. END.

Judge: “You are a violent, abusive and dangerous individual who was, and still continues to be, completely obsessed with your victim. You made threats to her so that she had no choice but to invite you to her home, where you violently orally raped her. You did this to exert power that you thought you had over her despite her begging you not to. Your belief was that it was your right to have sex with her, whatever her wishes.” • Canterbury 2017 (1) (Trial began 6 February 2017, not reported in media) Canterbury court.

A sexual object who you manipulated, controlled, assaulted and ultimately raped. One thing missing from this case is remorse and you continue to deny the allegations. As the trial proceeded your behaviour was not only that of slightly amused indifference but I detected on occasion you were aroused when your victim recounted the sexual acts you had committed upon her.” • Cardiff 2017 (2) Cardiff court.

In the course of the trial it was alleged that the man told his wife that because they were living together, he could have sex with her whenever he wanted — as if she was a “commodity”.

@yaelbt - Yael Bar tur

I’ve heard a lot of people complain recently that they can’t criticize Israel without being accused of being an antisemite. In fact, it’s very easy to criticize Israel without being called an antisemite, I do it all the time. Here's a helpful guide: 🔷 If you advocate for an “Intifada”, which means a violent uprising against the Jews in their homeland – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say Israel is “Occupying Gaza” without knowing that Israel forcefully removed all 9,000 of its residents from Gaza in 2005, and since then the only Jews living in Gaza have been 229 hostages that Hamas kidnapped - you’re an antisemite 🔷 If you chant from the “River to the Sea”, meaning the elimination of the sovereign state of Israel and home to its 9 million residents – you’re an antisemite 🔷 If you think indiscriminate violence against civilians by a bloodthirsty mob is a form of "resistance" – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say there is “ethnic cleansing” without understanding that Israel does everything to minimize civilian casualties including pleading with the local population to evacuate before an attack - you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say there is “genocide” without saying that if Hamas lay down it’s weapons today there would be peace, but if Israel does the same it will be eliminated - you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say “Free Palestine” without acknowledging the Palestinians refusal to in fact “free Palestine” themselves by signing all the offers Israel offered it over the years asking for only peace in return – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say Israel is a “white supremacist” country despite more than half of Israeli jews being from Arab and north African countries – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say Israel is a “settler colonialist” state, despite Jews being indigenous to the land and Israel being a sovereign country for 75 years – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say indiscriminate violence against civilians by a bloodthirsty mob is a form of resistance – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you call Israel an Apartheid country without acknowledging that Arab-Israelis have equal rights and freedom of religion in Israel, and are freer here than in any other Mid East country – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you refuse to acknowledge the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and instead call it “the situation” or “the tensions in the Middle East” – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say you oppose Israel because you stand with Muslims, but never made a peep about hundreds of thousands killed in Yemen, Syria, Sudan, Iran etc. – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say you stand with Palestinians, but don’t demand rights for Palestinians in Syria and Lebanon where they have none -- you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you refuse to believe the IDF, but think Hamas is a legitimate source of information – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you believe everything Hamas says, except their charter where they say they want to kill all Jews - you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say murdering 1,400 men, women and children and kidnapping 229 is a response to Netanyahu being “right wing” – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If your response to a massacre is to call for a "ceasefire" instead of the immediate release of the hostages and dismantlement of the perpetrators - you may not be an antisemite, but you're really dumb. 🔷 If you say Israel attacks indiscriminately, and not in precise airstrikes against Hamas targets that happen to be purposly placed in schools, hospitals, and mosques – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say Israel attacks just to “punish” Palestinians, and not in order to prevent more harm to Israelis from stockpiled weapons and terrorists – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If the only Israeli perspective you are willing to listen to are a few fringe Israeli academics or artists who hate their country – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say you “stand firmly” against antisemitism when the perptrator is someone from across the political divide, but mix words over Palestinians massacring Jews in Israel – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say you oppose “victim blaming” but feel the need to put horrors of October 7th “in context” whenever they are mentioned – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you’ve ever said “believe all women” but demand to see autopsies before believing women were raped in front of their friends’ eyes – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you’ve ever proudly declared that “hate has no home here” but don’t speak up against harassment of your Jewish friends– you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say you support indigenous people yet don’t care that Jews have had a steady presence in the land of Israel for thousands of years - you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say you're an LGBTQ+ ally…I can’t even do this one, it’s too stupid. 🔷 If you’re more concerned with exactly how many babies were beheaded instead of why the babies lost their heads – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say people are brainwashed by watching Fox News, but that Palestinians who are fed a steady diet of Jihad-glorification and Jew-hatred in their textbooks and children’s shows are freethinking freedom fighters – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say Gaza was “stolen” from a country called “Palestine” and not won in battle against Egypt, who controlled Gaza until 1967 when they tried to destroy Israel – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say Arab terrorism against Jews is solely a response to settlements, meaning it only began in 1967 when Israel won a war against Jordan (West Bank) and Egypt (Gaza) after they tried to destroy Israel – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say there was a sovereign country called “Palestine” with a president and a flag before 1948 instead of the British Mandate of Palestine – you’re an antisemite (and also ignorant). 🔷 If you say poor living conditions and lack of food in Gaza are the fault of Israel and don't mention Hamas spends billions of foreign aid dollars on weapons I you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say Israel cuts off electricity to Gaza, without acknowledging that Israel itself provides the electricity in the first place, and that Hamas repurposes virtually all the electricity and fuel for terrorism – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you blame Israel for Gaza running out water, but not Hamas who ruins the water infastructure and takes the water pipes and repurposes them as rocket launchers – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you compare the bloodlust of Hamas, an elected government that controls Gaza, to a few fringe extremists who exist in Israel like they do in every society – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you are afraid to call out Hamas terrorism because you think it’s offensive to Muslims – you’re an antisemite, and also racist. 🔷 If you don’t call out Egypt, which shares a border with Gaza through which they could send relief and take all the refugees, but refuse to - you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you call to “end the blockade” without acknowledging that the blockade is only on 2nd use materials, and is a response to the smuggling of weapons aimed at Israel into Gaza – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you compare death tolls like they’re basketball scores without acknowledging that Hamas is the source, and that they use their own people as human shields, preventing them from leaving dangerous areas despite the IDF warning them to - you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say you worry about Palestinian refugees but not about tens of thousands of Israeli refugees from the north and south who have had to evacuate their homes because of Hamas & Hezbollah – you’re an antisemite. 🔷 If you say you’re not an antisemite but merely an antizionist, meaning you oppose the mere existence of a safe haven for the Jews in their ancestral homeland alongside it’s neighbors - well, you get the idea. If that doesn’t help – know also that you are also hurting Palestinian chances for afree and independent state. You are actively pushing for war and fighting from the comfort of your home, instead of peace and co-existence. How does that feel?

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

IMPORTANT: 🚨🚨🚨 A detransitioner has just filed a lawsuit against Dr. Jason Rafferty, Dr. Michelle Forcier, Thundermist Health Clinic, and others. This is a major development, as Rafferty is the author of the @AmerAcadPeds policy statement on "gender-affirming care." 🧵

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

The plaintiff, LU, had multiple psychiatric disorders, including dissociative identity disorder, ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder, when she sought help from Thundermist Health Clinic in Rhode Island.

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

She had just "escaped from over 18 years of physical, sexual, and psychological torment at the hands of a cult and its leadership, which began for her around age 6." Among other things, the cult had subjected her to conversion therapy to try to "cure" her of being lesbian.

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

In his clinical notes, Rafferty acknowledged: LU's "current goals are for... (testosterone) and 'top surgery' but describes internal turmoil between alters [multiple personalities] about meaning of gender identity that likely requires additional support and exploration."

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

Rafferty nevertheless approved her for hormones, stating: "it is this provider’s perspective that Testosterone would be indicated based on history, and with essential psychological supports in place."

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

After a brief hormone high period (T is thought to have antidepressant properties), LU "began experiencing dangerous mood swings, fits of anger, more frequent bouts of depression, and feeling even more disconnected from herself and her sexuality than she was prior to the [T]."

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

"The facial hair and other bodily responses to the testosterone were more severe than advertised, and she quickly realized that the treatment was not going as promised."

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

When LU inquired about discontining T, she was met with "cold, disinterested apathy" from Rafferty, according to the complaint. Thundermist allegedly provided her transportation to & from the clinic when she wanted to transition, but not when she wanted to detransition.

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

After seeing Michelle Forcier, who also ignored the red flags and approved her for T, LU moved out of state and began receiving mental health therapy. This helped her "see that her desire for a male body was not gender dysphoria but body dysmorphia brought about by...

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

a late puberty, childhood bullying, trauma from sexual assaults, and an unhealthy perspective that she could never achieve the beauty of all the women she encountered on social media and TV." By that point, however, the damage from T was done.

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

LU now suffers from "body disfigurement, ongoing estrogen deficiencies, painful premenstrual dysphoric disorder, suspected osteoporosis, development of painful skin nodules from testosterone injection sites, an onset of severe histamine sensitivity resulting in...

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

chronic severe allergies, suspected infertility, reduced sex drive, chronic hot flashes, genital pain and discomfort, chronic joint pain, and a host of emotional and/or psychological injuries including newly onset body dysmorphia,...

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

as to the changes testosterone brought about her body, [and] significant emotional distress impacting many of her relationships."

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

LU is represented by @detranslaw, a boutique law firm specializing in gender medicine, and is suing for medical malpractice, gross negligence, and lack of informed consent.

@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir

This thread is based on the legal filing, but there is also a piece about the lawsuit in the Daily Mail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12654975/Detransitioner-multiple-personality-gender-reassignment.html

And I'm not saying this as a professor. I should introduce myself. My name is Shai. I am a professor at Columbia Business School. I am Israeli." "But before all of that, I am a dad. I have two beautiful children. And I'm talking to you. I'm speaking to you as a dad." "And I want you to know we cannot protect your children from pro terror student organizations because the President of Columbia University will not speak out against pro-terror student organizations because the president of Harvard University, because the president of Stanford, because the president of Berkeley, they will not speak out against pro-terror student organizations." "Last Saturday, 14 US citizens were kidnapped into Gaza with 200 other Israeli, French, German, and other nationalities. 14 citizens of the US are right now kidnapped in Gaza, and yet the president of the university is allowing, is giving her support to pro terror students organizations. Columbia Professor Shai Davidai makes an impassioned plea for college presidents to stop sanctioning "pro-terror" demonstrations on campuses.

"Ethnic Cleansing!" : Literally Hamas's publicly-stated goal. To cleanse Israel of Jews. Meanwhile, Israel has a huge Arab minority (who are full voting citizens of Israel). /2

"Settlers!" : The entire massacre occurred within internationally recognized borders of Israel. /3

"Colonialism!" : Israel is the historic homeland of the Jewish people for over 3000 years, as one of history's most indisputable cultural and archaeological record proves. You aren't a colonist in your own land. /e

As Arabs, our message to the world cannot be restricted to eliciting global sympathy for the children of Gaza. We cannot depict ourselves as helpless children, behind whom we hide our failure to control our Hamas thugs who massacred 1300 non-combatant Israelis. This is a moral failure that the world sees but that we try to hide behind the “rights of the Palestinian people,” rights that none of us are willing to articulate. Free Palestine can mean anything, from an Arab Palestinian state living in peace next to Jewish Israel to an Arab Palestinian state instead of Jewish Israel. For Arab Israeli peace to happen, and since Palestinians are either children, or Hamas thugs, or useless corrupt Mahmud Silicon-Face Abbas, non-Palestinian Arabs should step up to save the Palestinians from themselves and save the region ongoing sorrow. We, Arabs, have to show the world that we are at peace with the idea of a Jewish state, that we are willing to concede what we believe – rightly or wrongly -- is ours (1948 territory), that we genuinely want bygones to be bygones, without secretly holding grudges and passing them to our children. We must seek a better future for ourselves and our kids, as well as for Israelis and their kids. The Palestine disaster (nakba) is not a disaster of land loss or military defeat. It is a disaster of absence of leadership that can articulate the Arab alternative to war and death. We ask the world to stop the Israeli war on Hamas, but what do we offer as an alternative to stopping the war? Just let those Hamas thugs who massacred 1300 Israelis get away with their crime (because there is a history of dispute)? Ask Israel to go back to October 6? Knowing that Hamas can break out of the Gaza fence and repeat its massacre any minute? Hamas must go. We Arabs must help get rid of it, and most importantly, we must show that we have a plan for the day after Hamas. Let’s learn from the mistake of Iraq and Arab Spring countries, that once what we have is gone, what comes next looks worse. Let’s preempt the worse by offering the better. As long as we, the Arabs, do not have answers to all these questions, the world will manage things without us. It does not matter if all of us, 1.3 billion Muslims, think that Israel is at fault. What matters is global perception, which clearly thinks that Islamist terrorism is the problem, not Israelis dancing at a music festival. And we, the Arabs, are not even talking to the world. We are talking to each other, patting ourselves on the back for being utopian and principled on Palestine, while we are in fact idiotically out of touch with reality. We insist on our backward message, then act surprised why many of our states are failing and why we are migrating in droves. Please stop treating Palestine like religion, like we have to stick to our principles to win credit in the afterlife and to garner social acceptance among each other (Arabs and/or Muslims). Please think of Palestine like a problem that requires troubleshooting, compromise, pragmatism, and most importantly, looking toward the future, not the past.

@RobertMSterling - Robert Sterling

It’s been amazing this week to watch the left invert every rhetorical device they’ve used since 2020, all to avoid having to criticize terrorists dedicated to Jewish genocide. It would be hilarious, if it weren’t so reprehensible. 2020: Silence is violence. 2023: People can’t be expected to comment on every situation. It’s okay to just keep silent, especially while events are still unfolding. ———————— 2020: If you’re nitpicking small details instead of focusing on the big picture, you’re doing so to avoid your complicity in atrocities. 2023: 40 babies weren’t actually beheaded. 40 babies may have been killed, and some of them may have been beheaded, but that’s not the same as 40 getting beheaded. Details matter. ———————— 2020: Universities must proactively take a stand and speak out in opposition to racism. “Academic freedom” is a false concept used to enforce oppression. 2023: Universities need to maintain neutrality and ensure that they do not make any statements that jeopardize the principle of academic freedom, which is a paramount virtue in the realm of scholarship. ———————— 2020: You must immediately and forcefully condemn an attack, even if investigations are ongoing. 2023: You can’t expect us to release statements opposing an attack within four days, when the facts are still being discovered. Israel hasn’t even allowed UN investigators at the scenes of these “alleged massacres.” ———————— 2020: People are responsible for their words, even if they are just working-class teenagers in small towns. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. 2023: Graduate students at the most prestigious university in the world are just kids and cannot be held accountable for statements they sign. This is cancel culture. ———————— 2020: Believe all women. 2023: Where is the physical evidence of these “alleged rapes”? ———————— 2020: It’s not enough to be non-racist. If you are not actively anti-racist, it means that you are, in fact, racist. 2023: How dare you question whether I support terrorists just because I haven’t actively spoken out against Hamas freedom fighters. ———————— 2020: We don’t get to tell people in affected communities how to deal with their pain in the aftermath of violence. 2023: It is Israel’s responsibility to ensure that violence doesn’t escalate. ———————— 2020: Anything that disproportionately affects one group of people is oppression and must be condemned. 2023: Settlers—a term that includes all Israeli Jews—are not civilians and are therefore all valid targets for attacks.

Dear Western funders of @UNRWA - What exactly did you think you were supporting all these years? When you sustained, nourished, supported and indulged Palestinians, generation after generation, in the belief that uniquely among the world’s peoples in the wake of WWII, they don’t need to accept new realities, new borders, and move on with the lives; that they possess a non-existent “right of return” into Israeli sovereign territory, that their land was “stolen” and that they have the right to take it “back” by “all means” - what exactly did you think the outcome would be? Peace? Two states? Ever since the publication of “The War of Return: How Western Indulgence of the Palestinian Dream has Obstructed the Path to Peace” @Adi_Schwartz and I met with numerous Western diplomats from the countries that fund UNRWA. We explained to them that the Palestinian ethos, as sustained by UNRWA, has always been focused on a singular goal: no free Jews in the land, no sovereign state for the Jewish people on any part of the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Hence “Free Palestine” and “From the River to the Sea”. We explained that by indulging Palestinians in the notion that the war of 1948 is not over, that they are somehow, now into the fifth generation “refugees” from that war, and that they possess a non-existent “right of return” into sovereign Israel, by which they can undo Israel’s existence, UNRWA and its funders are ensuring that there will always be new recruits for Palestinian terrorism, whether Fatah or Hamas. We explained the UNRWA provides ideological sustenance and international legitimacy through the letters “UN” and continuous Western funding, for the Palestinian belief that Israel is a temporary aberration in the region and that the clock on it could be turned back through “return”. Almost everywhere we were met with dismissal and disbelief - “it’s just about the occupation”, “they need better conditions in Gaza”. We begged those official to stop “Westplaining” and give Palestinians the respect of taking them at their words, actions and key decisions for over a century and realize they all amount to one thing - a singular dedication to eradicating the Jewish state. If anything will come out of the current hellscape, let it be that the world will see the Palestinian “cause” for what it is, stop indulging it, and maybe, just maybe finally lead them, 75 years too late, to “embrace defeat” (the name of John Dower’s book about Japan in the wake of WWII) and become a people focused on building a nation rather than destroying one.

Here's Judith Butler (hugely influential gender theorist) saying some nice things about Hamas and Hezbollah. "Understanding Hamas and Hezbollah as social movements that are progressive, that are on the left — that are part of the global left is extremely important."

Researchers say that L.A.'s bird species are remarkably segregated. In a new study, they argue that the difference in bird populations is a lasting consequence of racist home lending practices from decades ago, as well as modern wealth disparities.

Mary Lou Retton is in the ICU, uninsured, with severe breathing problems. This is awful, and I wish her a speedy recovery. Omitted from most coverage is that she is a millionaire Republican, willfully uninsured, likely unvaccinated, and I'm guessing COVID positive.

Ça y est l’information est sortie. C’est si macabre que personne ne voulait la donner avant d’avoir eu confirmation à 100%. 🔺 Des nourrissons, des enfants de moins de 2 ans ont été décapités par le Hamas dans le Kibboutz de Kfar Aza. C’est une horreur, un massacre. Pour ceux…
