Kneecap made a special appearance at the Macklemore concert in Dublin tonight. “F**k Zionism” and “F**k Israel” rang out. The violent rejection of Jewish self-determination performed to thousands. How is this different to a Nazi rally.

Youssef Siher—a Palestinian who, unfortunately, was born in Italy—is mastermind behind the social media page "Movimento 17 ottobre" (October 17th Movement) and is currently under investigation for incitement to commit a crime. He is the one responsible for this chaos in Italy. Let’s make him famous.
Here is who creates chaos in Italy: 30 year old behind "October 17" platform has been identified and his premises searched. He is a second-generation Italian of Palestinian descent. Through the platform, he organized fluid protests—employing a "be water" tactic—with weekly Saturday gatherings across eight cities, a "Map of the Revolt", and a handbook titled "Revolution: Instructions for Use".

Harvesting olives is the new flotilla. Pro-Palestinian groups around Europe are paying for hundreds of activists to head to the West Bank in order to provoke confrontation.

In November of 2023 when dozens of Jewish children were languishing in captivity in the tunnels of Gaza, families came to UNICEF's Toronto office to BEG for these children.
Here is the response they got from UNICEF's Linton Carter:

The U.S. spends $8.53 billion a year on its military presence in Germany.
It spends $5.69 billion a year on its presence in Japan.
It spends $4.25 billion a year on its presence in South Korea.
But we only ever hear about military aid to Israel.
Isn't that weird?

Important update for constituents of Norwich South:
Today Israeli authorities barred me and other European elected representatives from entering the West Bank to meet Palestinian students and civil society leaders, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
We knew that by crossing into the occupied Palestinian territories, we risked being detained, interrogated and turned away by Israeli authorities. And that, alas, is exactly what happened.
For more than eight hours, we were held, interrogated and made to feel as though we had done something wrong simply by attempting to enter.
The simple truth is we had done nothing wrong. We went to show our support for the Palestinian people and highlight the terrible injustice and violence being perpetrated against them. We want to ensure that people back home do not look away from the reality of what is happening.
Ultimately, we went to show solidarity. But we left with an even greater determination to speak out. We will not be silenced, and we will not look away. None of us should.

The thugs forcing their way into the Ballon d’Or football gala in London tonight are chanting “Free Palestine”. Always pro-Pals at the centre of chaos.

Well done Lucie!
She was treated appallingly by the BBC and deserves her legal win.
I hope she won’t mind me saying that she was one of a number of Jewish people who have reached out to me in the last couple of years to thank me for standing up to the hate coming from the BBC crazies.
I’ll always be grateful and will never stop supporting you ❤️

The BBC has the same problem as RTÉ: activists trashing its reputation from within and bosses too craven to start turning the ship around.

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.
