I give up. The bots just won't stop. It's insane. I'm just a guy expressing opinions on this hellsite. I'm a nobody. Why am I getting over 700 replies, most of them insults. I can't use Notifications to respond to actual people; the bots have swamped my Mentions and rendered them unusable.
I have changed who can reply to my Starlink/StarShield posts to people who I already follow. This sucks. Why are people this way. This hellsite sucks. Why am I still paying $11 per month for the stupid blue check that I use solely for the ability to edit posts.

On this day—October 25, 1929
The Shaw Commission arrived in Jerusalem to investigate Arab massacres of Jews across Mandate Palestine. This was two decades before Israel’s independence.
Arabs had killed 133 Jews brutally with axes, knives, and clubs in places like Jerusalem, Hebron, and Safed. Homes were looted, synagogues were destroyed, and survivors were raped and mutilated.
The massacres were ongoing. There were another 57 Arab attacks against Jews as the Commission sat. The Grand Mufti later invoked the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and compared himself to Jesus, claiming Jews had denounced him.
The Commission found the Arab attacks on Jews were driven by hostility to Jews in general and the notion of Jewish sovereignty anywhere in the Land.
This was the conclusion before there were any “settlements,” “occupation,” or even a State of Israel.

I said I wasn’t going to weigh in on who should be prime minister of Israel as that is a decision for Israeli citizens. I did, however, want to share one point of view from the perspective of someone who has an understanding of how Israel is perceived in America.
Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have caused Israel enormous reputational damage with their statements and actions which are presented in the global media as representing the voice and will of all Israelis.
As such, a government formed without Ben-Gvir and Smotrich will send a message to the rest of the world that Israel is turning a new page.
This will allow Israel to rebuild lost credibility, increase the opportunity for an expansion of the Abraham Accords, and enjoy a better relationship with Democrats and Republicans and Americans at large.

🫒Estimated olive harvest figures in Judea and Samaria to date:
* ~220,000 dunams harvested so far
* ~100 coordinated olive harvesting sites operated under the protection of security personnel in Judea and Samaria
* The estimated yield harvested stands at ~22,500 tons of olives, from which ~5,500 liters of olive oil have been produced, with a value of 225 million NIS.
Incidents receiving media attention account for only a small percentage of the olive harvesting areas in Judea and Samaria. The vast majority of coordinated olive harvesting operations protected by security personnel are proceeding as planned, without unusual incidents.

Don’t be distracted. This just shows he is on the admin’s script: keep blathering about Starlink and “terms of use/service,” don’t engage on Starshield, which is the issue and which — as Musk himself says — the Trump administration controls. nationalreview.com/corner/th…
Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.

It’s hard to find any instance of a US President being as clueless as Obama in his Belfast speech. Analysis in @Jerusalem_Post is filled with facts-something Obama was devoid of.

⭕️ Following the terror attack on Friday, in which 2 IDF soldiers fell and additional soldiers were wounded, security forces launched a targeted operation in the area of Hebron from which the terrorists emerged, with the aim of dismantling terrorist infrastructure and preventing future attacks. To reduce the risk to civilians, civilians were permitted to temporarily leave the area through designated screening points. No civilians were forced to evacuate.
In a separate activity, illegal structures were demolished at the site in Hebron where the attack took place. During the attack, the terrorists concealed themselves behind these structures and fired toward IDF soldiers. The demolition of the structures was intended to remove a security threat.
All other structures demolished in the area were also built illegally, and their demolition was carried out in accordance with international law in order to enforce law and order and remove potential security threats.

I've now catalogued 5,300 confirmed Gaza combatants killed by name, mostly from Hamas & PIJ's own martyr notices, and closing in on 6,000. Analysis & results in process. The evidence documents systematic military use of hospitals, schools, etc. and other human shield practices.

Eventually, every key IDF airstrike in Gaza will be proven to have killed combatants. Airwars is updating its incident reports as Gazans acknowledge their combatants. An airstrike at Kamal Adwan Hospital was initially reported as killing 2 civilians—now we know both were Hamas.

If you care about Ukraine’s children why are you throttling Starlink/Starshield and leaving them defenseless against Russian drones and missiles? This baby died while you were restricting them.

Georgetown Law’s student government is attacking my deputy chief counsel, Erielle Azerrad, for detailing the evidence about the Muslim Brotherhood.
I’m proud of her for speaking the truth.
These woke children expect indoctrination rather than actual education.
Their hysterical declaration contains no facts. Here are the actual facts:
The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization.
Egypt, Saudi Arabia & the UAE have all banned, designated, or imposed restrictions on the Muslim Brotherhood for terrorism.
What does it say that Georgetown Law is more embracing of Muslim Brotherhood terrorism than are Arab Middle East nations?
Hamas is a Muslim Brotherhood branch and is responsible for the greatest single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
A federal jury convicted the Holy Land Foundation and five of its leaders on 108 counts, and the HLF provided $12.4 million in support to Hamas. Federal prosecutors named CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator.
I chaired a hearing in August in which lead investigators testified about evidence in that case that included wiretaps, internal memos, and meeting transcripts.
Calling evidence “hate speech," trying to censor it, and trying to cancel opponents doesn’t change facts. And on that note, my staff and I are not going to apologize for educating people about those facts.
If Georgetown were doing its job—instead of sucking up Qatari money—it would be too.
Student law group at @Georgetown released a resolution ATTACKING Erielle Azerrad, the Deputy Chief Counsel for Sen. Ted Cruz, after she spoke at an on-campus event about the dangers of the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization.
They label her comments as "hate speech" and "Islamophobic" and are demanding that the university silence this speech.
Georgetown has been conquered. Sad.

🚨 COINCIDENCE? How did a photographer from Agence France-Presse (AFP), one of the world’s largest news agencies, capture a gunman in the middle of a terrorist attack near Judea Junction?
According to Israeli reports, the IDF is investigating whether the photographer had advance knowledge of the attack.
Was it extraordinary timing, or did someone know what was coming?

The Palestinian terror attack this morning would have been an even worse catastrophic event had the @IDF not acted so quickly. Will the media give this as much coverage as when olive pickers get detained for failing to report their activities?
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
I have just concluded a security assessment with the Minister of Defense, the IDF Chief of Staff, the Director of the ISA, the National Security Advisor, and the Commander of the IDF Central Command.
It appears that Hamas terrorists were planning a major attack aimed at murdering innocent civilians, as evidenced by the large quantities of weapons and ammunition discovered. Our brave soldiers thwarted this attack with courage and determination. I commend them for their actions and wish our wounded a speedy recovery.
I have instructed the IDF and security forces to immediately cordon off the city of Hebron and take additional security measures to prevent terrorist attacks originating from Judea and Samaria.
Our forces are operating with reinforcements to thwart terrorism and are carrying out extensive waves of arrests.
We will pursue Hamas terrorists and those who sent them, wherever they are and at all times.
You have nowhere to hide.

The American dream belongs to Wall Street, said no one ever.
The American Dream doesn’t belong to Wall Street. It belongs to the American people.
Thanks to President Trump and Scott Bessent, families don’t have to worry about getting out-bid on their dream homes by private equity barons. And we’re making those same big investors give financial support to families buying their first homes.

If these reports are true, this is a welcome development. It’s now been over a week since Starshield service in Ukraine was throttled, and innocent Ukrainians have bore the murderous brunt. We’ve spent that week trying to determine the party responsible, but they have yet to own the decision, if in fact one was made.
I have full confidence in the powers of the United States Government and SpaceX to solve this, if there are indeed no objections.
If there are objections, have the courage to raise your hand, and explain your justification for allowing Putin to continue to mow down toddlers in strollers in Ukrainian parks. Otherwise, let’s get this resolved!
Exclusive: President Trump called Elon Musk and asked him to reverse the Starlink restrictions on Ukraine. The system was working more normally Thursday. on.wsj.com/4ywvG3f

Today marks 100 days since CENTCOM forces resumed America's steel wall naval blockade against Iran. This effort has helped prevent Iran from exporting at least $25 billion worth of crude oil and constrained the IRGC's ability to fund proxy militias, criminal networks, and terrorism. There have been no exports or imports to Iran by sea except for the humanitarian aid U.S. forces have allowed.
