This is simply magnificent.
Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important. #Shakespeare #ianmckellen #stevencolbert

ONLY. IN. ISRAEL. Moshe was on the 67 bus in Jerusalem. He asked Miriam if he could use her charger and was smitten by her. The rest is history. They got married. The bus company heard this & sent a 67 bus to the wedding to drive them home. WATCH to see for yourselves…

Last night this happened again, but in the Jerusalem and Be’er Sheva areas. Almost every night this past week, millions of Israelis have been the target of Houthi terrorists, forced to run to shelters.
🚨Millions of Israelis are currently in shelter as Houthi terrorists in Yemen launched a missile attack, triggering sirens across Israel.

Understood. But then you always had a soft spot for the Nazis and were even in cahoots with the Abwehr, German military intelligence, in 1938/39 as World War Two approached.
We’ve been dealing with occupying imperialists for 8 centuries. So yes, we’re not fans of Israel.

My cousin in Pittsburgh texts: "So it turns out running an 81 year old, replacing him four months before election day, and then having that replacement refuse to give interviews for three of those months is a terrible strategy. Who knew?!?"

Saudi Arabia has banned all public displays of support for Palestine, Hamas and Hezbollah. If you violate the law, you will be arrested! When will the West?

Israeli ambassador @IsraelinOZ details for the first time how two of his own relatives were murdered on Oct 7. Also, why calls for ceasefire are unhelpful, Aus needs to do more to fight antisemitism & why he’s ignoring the Greens. Exclusive @SkyNewsAust skynews.com.au/world-news/gl…

France’s political establishment unites to deny Le Pen’s National Rally an overall majority in Sunday’s run off for the French parliament. As it always does. But this time the alternative to the NR will sometimes be the New Popular Front, dominated by the hard left/communists. So it might not work as it usually does. Which is why many commentators in Paris not ruling out an overall majority for NR, which means President Macron would have to invite it to form a government. At the very least the NR will be easily the largest party in the National Assembly.

Bill Clinton on Palestinians: “I killed myself to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza... between 96 and 97% of the West Bank, compensating land in Israel, you name it.”

Congratulations to Hamas leader Khaled Mashal on reaching a net worth of 5 BILLION dollars while more than half of his own citizens in Gaza live under the poverty line. It pays to be a mass murderer terrorist .

*WHEN A FLY FALLS INTO A CUP OF COFFEE . . .* *The Italian –* throws the cup, breaks it, and walks away in a fit of rage. *The German –* carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it and makes a new cup of coffee. *The Frenchman –* takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee. *The Chinese –* eats the fly and throws away the coffee. *The Russian –* Drinks the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no charge. *The Israeli –* sells the coffee to the Frenchman, sells the fly to the Chinese, sells the cup to the Italian, drinks a cup of tea, and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee. *The Palestinian –* blames the Israeli for the fly falling into his coffee, protests the act of aggression to the UN, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, the German and the Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give away his cup of coffee to the Palestinian so there will be peace.

Getting fairly fed up with these "not in my name" Jews who denounce communal organisations and call for ceasefire without thinking through the implications. Certain Hamas would not make a distinction if they were in the firing line. 1/2

Those who demand a ceasefire in Gaza demand Israel should not defend itself. No country can accept that & neither can Israel. My video at the Gaza border today.
