No ICC arrest warrant for Bashar Assad, who killed hundreds of thousands of civilians
Richard Spector retweeted
Kill 26,000 people, execute children and women in Iran, forcibly displace 7 million Syrians, fund and plan the October 7th genocide in Israel, support terrorists in Yemen, Gaza and Iraq, and chant "death to America." Then, die in a helicopter crash, and the UN will stand for a minute of silence—not for your victims, but to mourn you. And then they expect us to trust the UN and ICC?

3. Soviet–Afghan War (2,000,000 dead)
4. The Nigerian Civil War (2,000,000 dead)
5. The Second Sudanese Civil War (1,500,000 dead)

18. The War in Darfur (300,000 dead)
19. The Russian invasion of Ukraine (300,000 dead)
20. The First Congo War (600,000 dead)
21. The Colombian conflict (400,000 dead)
22. The Mexican drug war (300,000 dead)
23. The Tigray War (350,000 dead)
24. The War in Afghanistan (250,000 dead)
These are only the wars he has seen that are an order of magnitude or more worse than the current Israel-Hamas War which wouldn't even make the top 100 (figures are median estimates).
So then why, of all the misery he has seen in his lifetime, does this seem "the worst" to him?
If he "had a dog in the fight" his obsession with this one conflict would make sense. But as he correctly notes, he doesn't.
So what is it about the one out of the hundreds of armed conflicts he has seen that makes the one with the Jews in it "the worst"?

The 🇬🇧 Eurovision audience gave Israel the maximum 12 points!!
The way Brits feel about 🇮🇱 is not something that can be determined from looking at the few thousand people who bring their hatred onto the streets each week.

UK public vote goes to…. ISRAEL! Shove that up your lefty terrorist loving pipes and smoke it…. 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

A point that Israel’s critics don’t realise about Israelis:
We like living.
We don’t like dying.
Our enemy, radical Islamic Hamas, loves and celebrates death.
You see candy handed out after innocent civilians are slaughtered.
Their “martyrs” are promised dozens of virgins in their afterlife.
We have none of this.
We go to war, never with joy or frivolity;
only solemnly, understanding our noble duty to defend our lives and freedom.
Every Israeli mom that gives birth to a baby boy begins at that very moment to repress nightmares of that knock one day on her door, to be notified by officers of her boy falling in battle.
We have a citizens’ army. Everybody’s kids go and serve together, merit-based.
You have the boys of CEOs, teachers, merchants and policemen serving all in one platoon.
So it’s very personal for us.
We’re not sending “other people’s” boys to war.
It’s us. It’s me.
I served, fought and lost my closest friends.
My children will have to serve too.
So for all of Israel haters out there that are portraying us as a blood-thirsty nation just looking to kill Palestinians:
if you think your lies will stop us from defending our homeland—you’re dead wrong.
🇮🇱
Richard Spector retweeted
You can choose to believe bullshit or truth
This is the truth of Hamas and Palestinian society
Chanting Allahu Akbar and spitting at the corpse of a raped woman whose body they’ve kidnapped and kept as a trophy
This is who Israel is defending itself against
Islamic fundamentalists that will rape your women too and seek to destroy you
Live in denial if you want
Engage in suicidal tendencies that pretend this isn’t a war against an evil civilisation
But it’s coming for you and it looks like this
You better pray Israel wins this war as they are your first line of defence

Ron she is dressed up as a princess for Purim. She begged for a picture with daddy in her costume. Her father, Dolev, was stolen by the Hamas on 7.10 and has been rotting in the tunnels of Gaza for 170 days. Ron wishes Daddy will meet their new baby, born during his captivity. 💔

Ok. So I am blocked by @garylineker
As is @JakeWSimons @stephenpollard
So is @SussexFriends
A question.
If you fight antisemitism - have you been blocked by Gary Lineker?
We have four already. Retweet this - lets see how many we can find?

Israel turned Gaza into an open-air prison!
A prison with 4 sides, of which Israel can control only 3.
A prison, from which crossings to Israel amounted to 672.000 people last year.
A prison, from which exports to Israel and the West Bank amounted to 10.133 trucks last year.

Here's a major coffee chain in Jordan 🇯🇴 serving a new “Holocaust coffee” (that's the name!), with the slogan “I feel the Arab taste”.
It is served with blue and white marshmallows (Israel 🇮🇱 flag) which are burned before serving.
Genocide coffee ☕

Israel Defense Forces while conducting Operations in the Northern Gaza Strip have Discovered the Skull of 23-Year-Old Shani Louk, with IDF Officials stating they now believe she was Beheaded with her Body being Paraded through the Streets of Gaza; Shani’s Family had recently received Hope she had Survived the Music Festival she was Kidnapped from in Southern Israel on October 7th due to Contact from claimed Members of Hamas, but this now appears to have been Lies.
RT @DouglasKMurray: Anyone in any doubt about what those marching today are calling for should know this. There would be peace tomorrow if…

"If you have a rifle ... you should either kill a Jew or give it to Hamas,” terrorist supporters chanted in Ramallah.
They said Jew. Not Israeli.

3 questions for the global far left:
1/14
Here’s the 1st question: How many Jews need to die before you stop blaming us for everything that happens? Because on that dark Saturday 2 weeks ago, 1,400 were murdered. How many more do you need? Ten thousand? 6 million?
