I wonder if in another 80 years Jewish people won't even be mentioned when discussing the Holocaust

hamas saying naama and the girls were taken in uniform is literally the bluntest lie in history

i’m still reeling from the way all the people who ignored the last 15 months of antisemitic hate crimes and dog whistles and discourse because it suited them personally finally found their voices when the guy they don’t like threw up a nazi salute, meanwhile protesters at pro-palestinian marches have been throwing up all the damn nazi salutes with virtually no one on the left caring

can you imagine the left having consistent morals ever or is fighting antisemitism just another way for these people to virtue signal

An aquarium in Japan was closed for renovations, and their resident sunfish got depressed not seeing visitors. So the staff put some uniforms with printed faces against the tank, and it immediately recovered.

"Let me tell you a harsh truth about the Middle East and Trump's statement regarding Gaza: relocating Gazans to a safer place might actually be a good idea.

First, it would allow for faster rebuilding and recovery of Gaza. Second, it would eliminate the presence of Hamas terrorists. Moreover, Gazans living in other countries might gain exposure to different educational systems, ones that don't glorify death or antisemitism.. and come to understand the benefits of peace for all.

But why do countries reject the idea of accepting Palestinians, labelling it ethnic cleansing, and exaggerating the situation?

The reality is complex.

Many nations lack the economic resources and security infrastructure to accommodate such large numbers.

They know that some Palestinians have been subjected to radical ideologies under Hamas, making it difficult to vet individuals and determine who might pose a threat.

Years of exposure to hate speech, poverty, and extremist environments make it challenging to predict who might turn to crime or violence.

Hosting Palestinians would require significant international funding for security, large areas already built (not hotels), psychological and physical healthcare, education, social services, and media outreach.

History also adds to these concerns.

In Lebanon, Palestinians played a role in triggering civil war.

In Egypt, Hamas supported ISIS.

In Syria, Palestinians formed a 60,000-member militia allied with Assad, killing thousands of Syrians.

In Kuwait, they sided with Saddam during the invasion.

And in Yemen, they currently back the Houthis in targeting Saudi Arabia.

The solution must be approached logically, not emotionally.

It has nothing to do with Israel itself.

If you examine the situation, Israel wouldn't take Gaza even for free under any condition; it just wants Gaza free of hostages and rocket launches targeting its schools and hospitals.

The real question is whether all the corrupt Palestinian leaders genuinely want a state, or if they merely use the idea of statehood as a rhetorical tool to create obstacles, resist peace or normalization, and fill their pockets and bank accounts.

Leaders corrupt or committed?''

Don’t use the phrase “Punch a Nazi” if you aren’t willing to work with Jewish people and actively educate yourself about antisemitism and how baked in it is in Western culture.

I see the phrase get tossed around a lot - usually when people are talking about far-right white supremacists and how their toxic views (rightfully) shouldn’t have a place in our society. But when I see people saying “Punch a Nazi,” rarely are they (actively) including Jewish people in the list of people who will be victims

I’m learning Hebrew because I’m planning on making aliyah. I’m learning Hebrew because I can’t see my life continuing in diaspora.

I want to come home.

Very conflicted rn. I’m glad that people are outraged at Elon’s Nazi salute and are acknowledging the Jewish voices calling this out as antisemitism. I’m glad y’all are concerned about people in power very obviously paralleling 1930s Germany.

At the same time, I’m fucking furious with all of you. For a while now, but especially the last year, Jewish people have been calling out for you to acknowledge this, to see the signs, to get upset. Antisemitism has gone through the roof. Jewish schools are getting shot at and fire bombed. Jewish business are getting graffitied. Newspapers are sharing antisemitic rhetoric blaming us for all kinds of shit. Politicians have been saying all of this exact stuff, but since there wasn’t a salute to go along with it nobody cared. Here’s the scariest part though: people are accepting this as normal.

Accepting, ignoring, and normalizing this shit is what led to the Holocaust in the first place. People talk about it as if it happened suddenly, but it didn’t. It took years to subtly ramp up the antisemitism. We asked you to care back then too, but we weren’t taken seriously. Look what happened then.

So yeah, it’s nice to see that you all care about what Elon did, but it sucks that you only listen when it suits your narrative. Let this be your wake up call. Open your eyes, get loud, get angry, and listen to your Jewish neighbors when we say that the world is going in a dangerous direction. Antisemitism is real, it’s everywhere, and it sure as hell isn’t new.

dimwit leftists will really cheer on AOC for telling the singular prominent organization that opposes antisemitism "You are not to be trusted. You work for them." and still think themselves such good sweet kind allies to jews

Everything about the spectacle reeked of choreography: the green military-style uniforms forced upon them, the framed certificates they were compelled to hold aloft like unwilling contest winners, and the stage constructed for no other reason than to parade captives in front of the cameras.

This wasn’t just a release of hostages; it was a grotesque theater performance — Hamas’ carefully crafted attempt to project an image of power while simultaneously masquerading as benevolent.

The four young Israeli women — Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag — soldiers kidnapped from the Nahal Oz army base in southern Israel on October 7, 2023 — were the reluctant stars of this PR charade.

And yet, somehow, some in the media managed to swallow this sham whole. They didn’t just cover the hostage parade; they gave it legitimacy as if parading captives before the world wasn’t an affront to the very humanity Hamas so desperately wants to feign.

The BBC, for example, falsely claimed during a live report showing Hamas’ sickening PR stunt that the Israeli hostages were wearing the same IDF uniforms they had been kidnapped in. This, of course, was a blatant misrepresentation. As even Hamas’ own wealth of body camera footage from October 7 makes chillingly clear, the four were abducted from their beds and paraded through Gaza’s streets in bloodied pajamas and underwear — not military fatigues.

The truth behind Hamas’ choice to dress the hostages in army-style uniforms couldn’t be more transparent. It was a deliberate ploy to insinuate that these women were legitimate military targets. And yet, the BBC and others, including Australia’s ABC News played right into this lie, lending credence to Hamas’s narrative.

Media Rehabilitate Released Terrorists

As part of the first stage of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, Israel has agreed to release approximately 1,900 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for 33 Israelis taken captive during Hamas’ terror attacks.

Saturday marked the second round of this so-called “first stage,” with 200 Palestinians walking free. Among them were more than 120 individuals serving life sentences for carrying out deadly attacks on Israelis — a reminder, if one were needed, of the kind of people Israel is being asked to trade for the return of its citizens.

And yet, outlets like The New York Times and the Associated Press went out of their way to engage in some serious image rehabilitation for the unrepentant mass murderers released, including when both chose to describe a terrorist serving a life sentence for attempted murder and planting an explosive as an “Islamic Jihad activist.”

Yes, “activist” — a term typically reserved for those campaigning for political or social change — was somehow deemed an appropriate label for a terrorist whose “activism” involved planning mass-casualty attacks on innocent civilians.

Meanwhile, CNN saw fit to elevate Haaretz journalist and terrorism apologist Gideon Levy, presenting his fringe views as though they reflected Israeli society. Incredibly, Levy was given a platform to draw a grotesque equivalence between the Israeli hostages and the released prisoners, referring to both as “hostages” and telling his CNN hosts they “may call” the convicted terrorists that.
