Let us play a game of join the dots. Saturday 8 February 2025 - Hamas remind the world what Holocaust survivors look like Sunday 9 February 2025 - World recoils in horror Monday 10 February 2025 - Hamas suddenly decides not to release more hostages. Obvious really.

Since posting this yesterday, there’s been a semi-viral trend of people saying, “I’m not Jewish, but I speak up because…” Let’s keep this going. Tell us why you speak up. In a torrent of hate, vitriol, and global insanity, we have learnt from great minds before us that the best prophylactic for hate is to overwhelm with love.
I’m not Jewish, but there’s a reason that I’ve risked everything to speak up for the Jewish community. And when I say everything, I mean everything. I mean being blocked by friends that I grew up with, unfollowed by most friends and associates, accused of being a spy for the Mossad, IRGC, CIA etc, having my family accused of the same and having their lives put at risk to the extent of having to contact the FBI, being subjected to unthinkable smears, conspiracies, and rumors that are intended to blacklist me from everywhere and by everyone, but I still speak up despite it all, you know why? Because the same time that Jews had to watch their children being shot and kidnapped on October 7 Is the same time they had to watch half the world protest against the existence of their tiny Jewish state that is their only refuge from global genocide Is the same time they had to watch their friends, associates, celebrities, and the world’s body politic post paragliders in celebration of their massacre Is the same time they had to watch their synagogues go up in flames amid renewed pogroms in Europe Is the same time they had to be banned and blacklisted as persona non gratas of the world by trading the word “Jews” for “Zionists” Is the same time they had to be pushed back by human chains on college campuses and beaten unconscious for defying chants for their death Is the same time they had to watch a mentally ill rapper tell millions of his followers that he loves Hitler and supports the Holocaust Is the same time they had to watch the likes of Dan Bilzerian, Candace Owens, Jake Shields, and the rest of the “woke right” claim “Jewish supremacy” is the world’s biggest problem by citing obscure texts of the Talmud & claiming to “seek truth” while regurgitating antisemitic Soviet disinformation to justify their persecution Is the same time they had to watch the woke left claim that the victims of Islamist extremism deserved the October 7 horrors because their grandparents who fled Nazi Germany back to Palestine in refugee boats were actually “white colonizers” All while the world looks on and glibly asks, “what antisemitism?” That’s why I speak up. The most important thing I’ve realized is that nobody can take from you what doesn’t belong to them. They can silence, intimidate, threaten, and accuse you, but they can never take away the power of your voice when it bellows into the scorched earth the last hopeful, fragmented glimmers of truth. That belongs to you and nobody else, and in our lifetime, it may never be more important than now.

This is October 7th. They chanted "Allahu Akbar" as Jews were slaughtered. They kissed the floor as Jewish women were raped. They cried tears of joy as Jewish babies were killed. They celebrated as Jewish families were burned alive. Whenever you see them crying, remember this.

As a Lebanese, this is one of the happiest days in Lebanon’s history. As a Middle Easterner, this is one of the most transformative days for the Middle East. As a human being who holds peace before my eyes, this is the most important day for our region. Nasrallah and Hezbollah have terrorized the Lebanese people since the 1980s. He is responsible for the continuous downfall of Lebanon’s economy and sovereignty. He bears responsibility for countless assassinations of fine Lebanese men and women, solely for opposing his grip on our precious country. Nasrallah is also responsible for the slaughter of thousands of Syrian children, women, and men, as well as for other atrocities across the Middle East. Every Lebanese and every decent human being should feel joy at the downfall of one of the greatest evils of our time. Now, we have a real chance to look forward, ensuring Hezbollah’s weapons are handed over to the Lebanese authorities, and sitting down with Israelis and the West for genuine negotiations on normalization and peace between our countries—Israel and Lebanon.

“We also know very well that you didn’t see any antisemitism at all in the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn.” Today at @CommonsHomeAffs, Diane Abbott said she has not seen anyone glorifying Hamas during the weekly marches. Here is how CAA Chief Executive Gideon Falter replied.

Looking at these shameful pro-Hamas demonstrations in London and elsewhere yesterday it struck me that Israel must be the only country in the world that is attacked for being attacked by a murderous, fascist, infant-killing death cult -- then is further attacked for having the temerity to retaliate against those who would erase it from the earth.

For all those that have said “where’s the proof that children were killed, bro”…. Your prophet would be ashamed to call you Muslim and Islam the world over should denounce Hamas… the silence is deafening; the dancing in the streets is not.

Yet again dissappointed in MSM language & bias. No decent human spits on a innocent young woman (attending a peace festival) who you’ve just raped, murdered & paraded broken & naked for the world to see but in particular her parents! No decent human guns down pensioners waiting for a bus. Unarmed & defenceless. No decent human hides their militia in schools or hospitals & deliberately bombs ambulances. No decent human goes on the streets of London & celebrates this… it’s the cold calculated actions of terrorism from a group of people who would happily extinguish every gay person, every person that doesn’t believe in their particular god and then enslave every female, because they see women as subservient & second class. Isreal thou far from perfect, like everywhere else on this far from bloody perfect world, is a democracy, surrounded by nations that believe in shariah law (google what freedoms to voice your opinions that would give you!) lived in by a people who have been persecuted for a millennia. I’m so sick of virtue signally crap & manipulated news reporting. Today I’m thinking about the families of all those taken by Hamas.. a terrorist group who unashamedly use “terrorist” tactics. Please report correctly..

⚽️ Hey, @premierleague, why not dedicate a minute’s silence before the next games on the 21st to the Israeli victims of terror? It would send an extremely powerful message to the world from the top of the English game.

This testimony blows apart the usual defences, one by one. - “It’s disaffected Blairites”: this whistleblower voted for Corbyn - “It’s just opposition to Israel”. He describes classic racism directed at Jews - “It’s a tiny handful”. He says there were 100s of cases a week
🚨EXCLUSIVE: A new whistleblower, Tim Dexter, who left Labour complaints unit 3 months ago, tells me - Corbyn aides seized control of antisemitism cases in March - Karie Murphy's HR team "spied" on staff with internal software - Staff routinely "disappeared" due to breakdowns
