An incredibly moving moment in Tel Aviv last night . Boy George invited survivors of the Nova music festival and bereaved family members on stage during his second concert in Israel. Together, they sang “We Will Dance Again,” in memory of those murdered on October 7. Emotional moments đŸ€đŸ˜ą

I AM A MUSLIM. I AM A ZIONIST. AND I MAKE NO APOLOGIES! This message is for those who seem to get stomach pains every time I declare myself a Muslim Zionist. Those who endlessly question my beliefs, challenge my identity, and desperately try to prove that a Muslim cannot be a Zionist. Let me make myself absolutely clear. I proudly support Israel. I fully support the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and their mission to defend Israel and protect its citizens. I support the fight against Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and every radical Islamist terrorist organization threatening Israel and the free world. I have lived under Islamic extremism. I know what these ideologies do to societies, minorities, women, and freedom. My Islam does not command me to hate Jews. My conscience does not permit me to excuse terrorism. I don't need anyone's permission to be a Zionist. I don't need lectures about my own religion. STOP TRYING TO CONVERT ME TO YOUR POLITICAL BELIEFS. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. I stand with Israel, the Jewish people, and the IDF. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. Unapologetically. I am not asking for your approval. I am telling you where I stand. END OF DISCUSSION.

On a very tense day here in Israel, just wanted to share a beautiful moment I just experienced. I was at my brother’s house in Judea, what the world would disingenuously call the West Bank. We had a huge BBQ and a celebration of my mom’s birthday. Happy birthday, mom! Anyway, we were driving home and as we approached the checkpoint, I did what I always do. I rolled down my window, thanked the soldier standing there and made a comment to brighten their day a little. Usually I make a joke or give them a donut or something, but this time, I turned to the Ethiopian female soldier and with a smile on my face, I asked her, “So did you vote yet?” She retuned the smile and to my surprise, said no. I asked her why she hadn’t voted! Her answer? “Hakol Bidey Shamayim”, “It’s all in the hands of God.” I loved that this visibly secular woman replied like that, but I pushed back and said, “Ok, but Ein Somchin Al Hanes”, “We don’t depend on miracles.” Meaning, it’s nice that you have faith in God, but we also have to do our part and vote. I didn’t have to explain myself. She immediately replied “That’s true. You’re right. Ok, I’ll vote.” The entire exchange took about 12 seconds but it reminded me how special it is to live in this country. Driving with my family in an ancient land, encountering an Ethiopian soldier whose family likely sacrificed a lot to be here and who is now protecting me, engaging her in conversation about Jewish theology, and changing a stranger’s mind about her role in building the future of the Jewish state and the Jewish people. I replied and may or may not weighed in on who she should vote for. 😁 We laughed and I continued on my way. I love my country. I love my people! We are going to be ok. No matter what, somehow, everything will be ok. (Image generated by AI.)

What Israel did in Gaza may well go down in history as the most humane and precise urban warfare environment the world has ever known—the very opposite of genocide. The entire purpose of a genocide is to push civilians into the killing zone. Think about what happened in the Holocaust, where children in line at Auschwitz were given bars of soap, where inside of the gas chambers there were fake shower heads. What was the point? It was to trick and induce civilians to get in to the killing zone so that you could kill more of them more efficiently over time. Israel has done the very opposite—warning civilians and then manning humanitarian corridors with its own soldiers, risking its own sons’ and daughters’ lives to ensure that civilians get out of the killing zone. We see two remarkable things in Gaza. First, according to preeminent urban warfare scholars like John Spencer, Richard Kemp, and Andrew Fox, Israel has the lowest militant-to-civilian kill ratio in the history of urban warfare. Genocides have extreme civilian-to-militant kill ratios. Hundred, thousand, ten thousand-to-one. That’s the point of a genocide. Here we have a militant-to-civilian kill ratio of may be two-to-one—not consistent not just with law of war violations—but much less with genocide. Second, and more importantly, all genocidal regimes get better over time at killing civilians. Again, think about the Holocaust. The Nazis started with firing squads killing 20, 30, 50 people at a time and realized that was too inefficient. Then they got these vans and filled them with exhaust pipes, and they would kill more people. And they said, “We’re never going to get to six million killing them this way.” That led them to construct these massive gas chambers and crematoria—the architecture of true genocide—to kill thousands and thousands of people cheaply and efficiently a day. Israel has done the opposite. Even if you believe Hamas’ numbers, the scale of civilian death in Gaza went down over time. Israel got better and better and spent hundreds of millions of shekels learning how to become more efficient at preserving innocent Palestinians’ lives. Again, the very opposite of genocide.

I was shopping in Brighton and antizionists tried to stop me buying Israeli goods from Waitrose. They said I’d be “racist” to buy them. I asked if it was xenophobic to boycott a whole nation. They had no answers. So I bought LOADS of Israeli products and they were NOT happy.

I am not Jewish. But I am a proud Israeli citizen. I live in Tel Aviv. Despite the world having extremely opinionated views about the country I live in, few people I have come across on X (that don’t live here) know little of substance about Israel apart from their warped sense of history and reality. This is the first post of a series I will write entitled Everything You Think You Know About Israel is (Probably) Wrong. The points are not in any particular order. Spread the word. Most Israelis (just over 50%) are not white. The devastating impact on European Jews of the Holocaust meant that the newly formed Israel in 1948 was largely populated by Jews fleeing persecution in Muslim-ruled countries predominantly in the Middle East and North Africa. These are known as Mizrahi Jews and when the State of Israel was formed they made up 80% of the Jewish population living here. Jews have had a continuous presence in the land of Israel since around 1208 BCE, that’s 3,200 years — long before the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The Muslim faith, in contrast, dates back 1,400 years (610 CE). Yes, when they lost majority rule in the 7th-century Muslim conquest they were not in the majority for centuries, but still lived in their ancestral homeland. Arab terrorism against Jews existed before 1948. In 1929, for example, 67 Jews were killed in the Hebron massacre, attacked and slaughtered by the Arabs they lived and worked beside. My wife’s great-grandfather Ben-Zion Gershon (who was a local doctor that often treated the Arab community without accepting payment) was tortured, had both his eyes gouged out and was then murdered. This was after his daughter Esther was raped in front of him, and his wife Zahava had both arms chopped off and was left to die. This was just one of many similar massacres inflicted on Jews that day. I will continue this series over the coming days.

đŸ‡”đŸ‡ž ÂżRecuerdan el Hospital Europeo en Khan Younis el pasado mayo? Israel atacĂł un objetivo especĂ­fico allĂ­, y el mundo se indignĂł. Los palestinos negaron la existencia de un tĂșnel subterrĂĄneo. La ONU y los gobiernos europeos se apresuraron a condenar a Israel por atacar un "hospital". IndignaciĂłn, titulares, acusaciones de crĂ­menes de guerra
 el guion habitual. Luego llegĂł junio. Las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI) llevaron a los medios internacionales al mismo lugar y les mostraron el tĂșnel
 un centro de mando completo de HamĂĄs, justo debajo de la sala de urgencias. Armas, habitaciones, infraestructura. Y sĂ­, allĂ­ encontraron y confirmaron el cuerpo de Mohammed Sinwar, el mĂĄximo comandante militar de HamĂĄs y hermano de Yahya Sinwar. El ataque que acabĂł con la vida de uno de los artĂ­fices del 7 de octubre fue quirĂșrgicamente preciso y totalmente justificado. SegĂșn los Convenios de Ginebra de 1949, los hospitales y otras instalaciones mĂ©dicas pierden su estatus de protecciĂłn cuando se utilizan con fines militares, como centros de mando, depĂłsitos de armas o transporte de tropas. Al convertir deliberadamente el Hospital Europeo en una base de HamĂĄs, los propios terroristas lo despojaron de toda protecciĂłn legal. Ni una sola disculpa por parte de la ONU ni de los gobiernos europeos que se apresuraron a condenar a Israel. Ni una sola admisiĂłn de su error. Simplemente pasaron a la siguiente ronda de acusaciones. Este es el patrĂłn. HamĂĄs oculta su infraestructura terrorista bajo instalaciones civiles, utiliza hospitales como escudos, y la comunidad internacional ataca sistemĂĄticamente al defensor por responder, solo para demostrar una y otra vez que estĂĄ equivocado cuando surgen las pruebas. ÂżCuĂĄntas veces tiene que suceder esto antes de que el mundo deje de caer en la trampa? âŹ‡ïž đŸ€đŸ€đŸ€đŸ€âŹ‡ïž đŸ€” Israel Sector News

Hola, soy palestino. đŸ‡”đŸ‡ž Y como la honestidad es poco comĂșn en mi polĂ­tica, permĂ­tanme confesar algunas cosas. 1947. La ONU me ofreciĂł un estado. Junto a Israel. Fronteras, independencia, reconocimiento. Dije que no. Mis lĂ­deres prometieron que la guerra "arrojarĂ­a a los judĂ­os al mar". En cambio, lo perdĂ­ todo y lo llamaron catĂĄstrofe. No porque no me ofrecieran un estado, sino porque lo rechacĂ©. 1948–2025. Los estados ĂĄrabes podrĂ­an haberme integrado, dado derechos, pasaportes, dignidad. En cambio, me encerraron en campos de refugiados durante generaciones, para que siguiera siendo un arma contra Israel. Construyeron palacios para ellos y cĂĄrceles para mĂ­. Me usaron como propaganda, no como personas. 1967. Tras otra guerra perdida, podrĂ­a haber construido un estado en Cisjordania y Gaza. En cambio, insistĂ­ en "ni paz, ni reconocimiento, ni negociaciones". Tres noes. Cincuenta años despuĂ©s, sigo sin Estado. Resulta que el rechazo no paga el alquiler. Oslo, dĂ©cada de 1990. Israel dijo: «IntentĂ©moslo». Me dio autonomĂ­a. Armas para la policĂ­a. Miles de millones en ayuda. ÂżQuĂ© hicieron mis lĂ­deres? Robaron el dinero, armaron milicias y lanzaron una intifada. Atentados suicidas en lugar de escuelas. Cohetes en lugar de fĂĄbricas. Gaza, 2005. Israel se fue por completo. Sin colonos, sin soldados. Tuve la oportunidad de convertir Gaza en un Singapur mediterrĂĄneo. VotĂ© por HamĂĄs. La convirtieron en Mogadiscio junto al mar. ÂżMiles de millones en ayuda? TĂșneles, cohetes y palacios para sus lĂ­deres, mientras mi gente come comida enlatada en la oscuridad. ÂżDemocracia? No he tenido elecciones en casi 20 años. HamĂĄs mata a los disidentes en Gaza. Fatah los encarcela en Cisjordania. Mis lĂ­deres cancelan elecciones porque estĂĄn demasiado ocupados luchando por el poder. ReligiĂłn. En lugar de construir un futuro, pongo a clĂ©rigos en televisiĂłn enseñando a los niños a odiar a los judĂ­os. Glorifico a los "mĂĄrtires" que hacen estallar autobuses. CrĂ­o a mis hijos con canciones de sangre y fuego en lugar de libros y ciencia. Cambio la esperanza por la guerra santa. Mundo ĂĄrabe. Los regĂ­menes ĂĄrabes me llaman "hermano". Pero pregĂșntenles cuĂĄntos palestinos pueden vivir libremente en LĂ­bano, Siria, Egipto o Kuwait. Me excluyen, pero celebran mi muerte, porque mi muerte es su excusa. Absurdo. Sigo diciendo que quiero "construir un estado". E irĂłnicamente, justo al lado estĂĄ Israel: el vecino que construyĂł una democracia prĂłspera, una potencia tecnolĂłgica, granjas en el desierto, ciudades de polvo. Sin petrĂłleo, sin riqueza infinita, solo coraje. PodrĂ­a haber aprendido, copiado, colaborado. En cambio, elegĂ­ la envidia y la rabia. ObsesiĂłn antijudĂ­a. PodrĂ­a haber aceptado a los judĂ­os como vecinos. PodrĂ­a haber dicho: "Dos naciones, dos estados". En cambio, repito: "Del rĂ­o al mar". En lugar de exhibir el honor, la hospitalidad y la rica cultura ĂĄrabe, mostrĂ© solo la cultura de la espada: la ira, el extremismo y la sangre. En lugar de gritar salaam (paz) a los israelĂ­es, gritĂ© muerte a los judĂ­os. Y luego finjo sorprenderme cuando los israelĂ­es no confĂ­an en mĂ­, cuando estĂĄn enojados, decepcionados y convencidos de que no quiero coexistencia en absoluto. Responsabilidad. Culpo a Israel de todo. Siempre. ÂżMis lĂ­deres roban miles de millones? Culpa de Israel. ÂżHamĂĄs dispara cohetes desde hospitales? Culpa de Israel. ÂżGlorifico la muerte mĂĄs que la vida? Culpa de Israel. La responsabilidad no es mi fuerte. Soy palestino. PodrĂ­a haber construido una naciĂłn, muchas veces. ElegĂ­ el rechazo, la corrupciĂłn y la guerra sin fin. PodrĂ­a haber vivido en paz con Israel, pero elegĂ­ vivir a la sombra de su destrucciĂłn. AsĂ­ que sĂ­, soy una vĂ­ctima. Pero con demasiada frecuencia, soy vĂ­ctima de mis propios lĂ­deres, de mis propias decisiones y de mi propia negativa a abandonar el odio. Y esa, querido lector, es la tragedia que nadie quiere admitir.

HOW DO WE STOP THE BOATS? I get asked this question constantly. “Send in the Navy!” “Turn the boats around!” “Put more patrols in the Channel!” My opinion is different. Having spent weeks on the ground in France, watching this unfold with my own eyes, I believe the answer is far simpler. France has played an absolute blinder. Conditions in the migrant camps are appalling. Filthy, overcrowded slums that make France look like somewhere nobody wants to stay and Britain look like the land of opportunity. Clever, when you think about it. Then comes the next stage. Buses transporting migrants, gendarmes walking groups towards the beaches like they’re on a school trip, and French vessels accompanying boats across the Channel until British authorities take over. I’ve documented enough of this to form my own conclusions. So here’s what I would do. Stop handing France millions. We’re paying for a system that clearly isn’t delivering. Detain everyone arriving illegally, Identify, photograph and document every arrival. Return every person to France Invoice France for the costs. Yes, I know they probably wouldn’t pay. End the perception that arriving illegally guarantees accommodation, financial support and a permanent future in Britain. Make the journey pointless, and you destroy the smugglers’ business model. People are paying thousands because they believe reaching British shores is the finish line. Remove that incentive and why would they keep handing their money to criminal gangs? I believe crossings could fall dramatically within weeks if that message became a reality. No Navy warships required. No dangerous confrontations at sea. Just a government with the backbone to enforce its borders. It is not racist to believe your country should control who enters it. It is not racist to demand that immigration laws are enforced. And it is certainly not racist to believe that the British people and their interests should come first. I’ve watched this operation from the beaches, the camps and the water. Throwing more money at France isn’t my answer. Remove the incentive. Enforce the law. Break the business model. It’s time to put Britain first.

People saying they could tell it was me in my ‘disguise’ on that speech like I’m out here hiding my involvement 😂 I’m not ashamed in any way about being part of this, actually standing up for the country with decent ordinary people. We had fun with it, and I’ll put my face to it full front and centre with pride. We have to stand up for our people now more than ever. #patriotplatform #speech #establishment #traitors #werecomingforyou

There is a transformation taking place across this country and it is terrifying the authorities. Why? Because it is countrywide, community led, does not have easily identifiable leaders and is patriotic, nationalist AND Christian in nature. The Patriot platform events that were unexpected, quiet, peaceful and very sizeable. Community protests in Crowborough and Wisbech were very well attended. The protest in Telford, also peaceful but large. And then yesterday saw the largest group Christian baptism take place in Bridlington with 550 people taking part. It’s a growing societal upsurge in recapturing our identity, reclaiming our towns and rejecting what is being done to us. And the fact that it’s peaceful, silent and unprompted scares the bejesus out of the authorities because they can’t clamp down on us. It’s fabulous. I’ll be discussing this and related topics on @UKLiveOnline at around 10:25/10:30am tomorrow morning.

My entire timeline is full of people who are not Jewish and not from Israel but proudly announcing that they are Zionists and that they stand with the Jewish people and the State of Israel. I can’t explain in words how heartwarming it is to see this. God bless all of you. đŸ‡źđŸ‡±â€ïžđŸ™
The “I’m not Jewish, but I’m a Zionist” trend is one of the most moving things I’ve seen on this platform.

I just had to write this song! Because seriously, what a joke the world has become! What an unbelievable comedy the entire situation has turned into! The hypocrisy, the double standards, the absurdity of it all! And the most frightening part? So many people don’t even realise where they’re leading themselves. As far as I’m concerned, everyone blindly supporting the pro-Palestinian movement without questioning its slogans or contradictions has joined the circus. And what a spectacular circus it has become! Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the greatest comedy show on Earth! And I’m absolutely delighted to be standing on that stage, dressed as a clown, singing, laughing, and pointing at the absurdity unfolding before our eyes. I don’t think I’ve ever had so much material to laugh about in my entire life! The only problem is that behind all this comedy, the consequences are very real. So laugh, ladies and gentlemen. Laugh while you can. Because the joke is on YOU! But hey
 I’m still a Jew! And that, ladies and gentlemen, is no joke! Yehuda Meitav

As a Muslim Arab, I am disgusted and heartbroken by what I saw across Western cities on October 7, 2026: people celebrating the October 7, 2023 massacre. Glorifying the murder, rape, and kidnapping of civilians is morally bankrupt, inhumane, and a disgrace to humanity. This wasn’t an ISIS or Al-Qaeda camp. This was in Western cities: people openly celebrating a massacre carried out by the filthy Muslim Brotherhood terrorists of Hamas against Jewish children, women, and civilians from all around the world in Israel. Utterly shameful. How did we reach a point where this needs to be explained? An eight-month-old baby was kidnapped. Women were raped. Children were murdered. Families were slaughtered. Human beings were dragged from their homes. No cause justifies this. No country justifies this. No grievance justifies this. Nothing justifies raping a woman. Nothing justifies kidnapping a baby. Nothing justifies murdering innocent people. And to see people in Western cities celebrating, glorifying, excusing, romanticising, or sanitising this horror in the name of “democracy” and “freedom of speech” is beyond disgusting. It is morally bankrupt. Shameful. Depraved. Inhumane. Heartless. Indefensible. What breaks my heart most is that we are even having this conversation. When did rape require a political explanation? When did kidnapping babies become something to celebrate? When did massacring Jews become something people could cheer for in the streets and still pretend they were standing for humanity? There is nothing progressive about celebrating barbarity. There is nothing courageous about glorifying terrorism. There is nothing democratic about cheering a massacre. This is not humanity. This is a moral disgrace. And the fact that anyone can celebrate such suffering should make every decent human being, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, or otherwise, feel both heartbroken and furious.
