Video from the “House against Hate” march in London today. I want to be clear: I am against the radical far right. Against racism. Against xenophobia. In a world where Jews were truly part of this coalition— where antisemitism was treated with the same urgency as every other form of hatred— I would probably have been there too. That is not the world this march represented. Waving the flags of the Islamic Republic regime in Iran is standing up for everything you should be against if you care about human rights.

“Met Police can go to hell.” Palestine Action and its supporters have sent a clear message: they have nothing but contempt for Metropolitan Police frontline officers. When a group of extremists takes to the streets to defend a soon-to-be proscribed terrorist group and protest against those who risk their lives to keep our streets safe, it is a frighteningly clear indication that something has gone very wrong in this country. The authorities have a lot to answer for. This ban on Palestine Action — as called for by CAA and others — is a good start, but it should have happened a long time ago, as should bans on these kinds of protests. This must be the start of a clampdown on lawlessness and extremism if it is to be of any consequence.

ARE YOU AN "ANTISEMITE?" Any opposition to judaism, jewish power, jewish agendas, or jewish supremacy—IOW any opposition to jews—is by definition "anti" semite, or "against jews." However, jews have implanted in people's minds the conflation that "anti-semite" means "jew hater." So people resist being called an antisemite on those grounds. Nobody wants to be known as a jew hater. But in resisting their label on their terms, you're ceding to their definition—which just reinforces it. You are empowering them over you and implicitly admitting that you agree that antisemitism is jew hatred. Do you see how that's a strategic blunder? Embrace antisemitism. Accept it. Again, antisemitism, rightly understood, is simply opposition to their evil schemes, beliefs and behaviors. It is opposition to their hatreds they heap upon us. Yes, opposing israel & zionism is antisemitic. Yes, opposing their wars and genocides is antisemitic. Yes, being against their bribery & blackmail of your leaders is antisemitic. Yes, noticing their disproportionate infiltration & representation in all our institutions is antisemitic. Yes, sharing the Talmud is antisemitic. Yes, fighting back against them is antisemitic. And definitely, definitely proclaiming "Christ is King" is antisemitic. Opposing them for anything on any grounds is both necessary and righteous. We should ALL be against them. Against all their evil beliefs and unrighteous behaviors. Jesus Himself was antisemitic. He opposed them. So it's your Christian duty, and your obligation as a child of God. They first set themselves in opposition to all of us. As St. Paul observed, 'they k*lled Christ and are the enemies of all mankind.' They are anti-goyim. The reality is we don't hate jews, and certainly not for simply being jewish; but jews hate us, and they hate us simply because we are NOT jewish. They also hate us for opposing them. How dare a slave stand up to its master! The chutzpah! They unleash their poisons upon us because THEY hate US. Every Accusation Is A Confession.

Horrendous. Heartbreaking news from Amsterdam. Is this what we have become? Modern day pogrom as we are remembering Kristallnacht. I am in Texas and it is middle of the night here as I write. Friends from Europe are texting and calling me about the horrendous situation in Amsterdam. In the night of November 7 in Amsterdam there were widespread and terrible raids on Jewish people. After the soccer game Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv, large groups of radical moslims violently attacked Jews, injured them, ran over them with cars… 💔 How is this possible? Why did it take the police so long to get there ? Even on European soil we fail to protect human dignity. Is this what we have become ? It's just terrible! Revolting! Imagine you are Jewish. And you know this: as soon as you walk out of your house to go running, go grocery shopping, go to school or to the synagogue, this can happen to you. How would you feel? I spoke about this situation of terrible discriminations this week in parliament. Worrying about antisemitism is not an exaggeration. Fighting it is our responsibility. The Dutch local government has failed. My thoughts are with the victims. I am furious with the Dutch local government. This is what we have become. Because we have forgotten that this violence is still possible if we are not honest, vigilant and decisive. If people who live in Europe are capable of this horrible attacks, it says a lot about how europe failed to impose its values even on its own soil. And there are still people who will think speaking of hatred against jewish people is an exaggeration. It is not. This is the week of the Kristallnacht commemorations. October 7 was until now the Kristallnacht of our time. November 7 must be the last one. Assita Kanko

I’m hearing from first-year students who, while studying for exams in their dorm room, are being confronted with terrifying chants of globalize the Intifada - a call for the murder of Jews. I’m now receiving calls from their parents who are frightened to learn that Hamas supporters are being allowed to camp out in Harvard Yard - in brazen defiance to the university’s explicit guidelines - and are chanting in support of terrorism and call for the murder of Jews. The last two nights at the Harvard Chabad Seder table, along with Jews around the world, we read the words of the Passover Haggadah how “in each and every generation they rise up against us to destroy us. And the Holy One, blessed be He, rescues us from their hands.” That those who seek the destruction of the Jewish people are receiving support from Harvard students and other university students around the country - as we heard today from Hamas, should shake every moral person to their core. We call on University leadership to remove these Jew haters and Hamas lovers who are continuously and brazenly violating university code of conduct, not to mention their own humanity. - Rabbi Hirschy Zarchi, Jackie and Omri Dahan Harvard Chabad Jewish Chaplain

In this clip High School Children in Kassala, Eastern Sudan are out furiously protesting the fall and genocide of Al Fashir. Sudanese are repeatedly lectured that they must simply accept they have to co-exist with this UAE sponsored genocidal militia that its dismantlement is “unrealistic” with those who call for it demeaned as “War mongers”. The same people who tell Sudanese that they must surrender would be outraged if you suggested Ukrainians do the same. Why do Sudanese not have a right to resistance and liberation why should they have to settle for continued terror at the hands of a foreign proxy militia?

A new wave of violence in Syria. Sunnis are not spared. 🇸🇾 On June 14, local clashes broke out in various towns in Idlib and Aleppo, during which “regime elements” were lynched in response to the lack of justice from the new Syrian authorities. While it is true that some of those killed were involved in crimes during the previous political regime, the STG’s supporters are using the demand for justice as an excuse to intensify the constant wave of hatred—no longer directed solely against minorities, but also against Sunni citizens who do not support the new authorities in Damascus, who have been killed with impunity in recent hours.

Amruta Fadnavis, Maharashtra CM's wife spoke about TCS case She says, "The accused is a monster in human form. There can be no forgiveness for such crimes. Such people deserve the strictest possible punishment. But as a society and as families, we also need to remain alert because, in most cases, the accused are people known to the victim, often those whom we trust the most, who commit such acts. Along with this, schools should conduct more awareness programs on good touch and bad touch... My advice to the government would be that people committing such crimes should never be allowed to come out easily. They must be given the harshest punishment at the earliest. If you ask for my personal opinion, those who commit atrocities against small children should be punished publicly on the streets. But since we live in a democracy, we cannot take the law into our own hands. However, the government, police, and judiciary must not spare such people and should ensure the strictest punishment for them."

This is how fake news is spread: I said yesterday on a TV broadcast that the right of Jews to live and not be murdered in terror attacks prevails over the right of Arabs in Judea and Samaria to travel on the roads without security restrictions. That is why checkpoints should be placed on roads where regular terrorism and shooting by Jihadists are committed against Jews. But the Israeli radical Left selectively cut a section out of my statement, purposefully misquoted even that, and removed the context in order to slander me as if I had made a racist declaration that Jews deserve more civil rights than Arabs. This is exactly how the Left continues to fan the flames of incitement in the world against the Israeli government. Because of their cynical strategy, we are now witness to a surge of Israel haters attacking me and the State of Israel. The Left continues to cause harm to the State, just as they have hurt the economy, our social cohesion, and the IDF over the course of the last 8 months. Shame on them! All Israel sympathisers, SHARE NOW

Dara hua musalman? "I gave Sajid and Jawed 5000 Rupees as one of the ladies in their home was pregnant. I also gave them tea and yet they killed my sons Ayush and Ahaan" ~ Mother of the two kids. What is the psyche of these people to do such a thing to children. You can Harbour hate for people whom you have issues with and have had confrontations with however to be blinded in hate to the degree that you cannot distinguish between the kids and mercilessly slaughter them is grand master levels of fucked up. They were a kafir's children and they did not feel guilty since the Qur'an says you should kill kafirs or that kafirs do not have rights. There are enough verses of the Qur'an that propagate violence against non-Muslims. After slaughtering them, they sat there drinking the kids' blood. Even Mohammed didn't do that after slaughtering 900 Jews of the Banu Qurayza tribe in a single day. It may have to do with heightened religiosity during Ramadan? Maybe they were instructed to do so by Muhammed in their dream? "If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant." ~ Karl Popper

An IRGC-affiliated terror group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Apparently, their actual target was not the ambulances but the Machzike Hadath synagogue next door. They have previously attacked synagogues in Liège and Greece on Wednesday, as well as carrying out an arson attack on a synagogue in Rotterdam. They claim they chose the synagogue because of a century-old link with a rabbi who later moved to Israel, though he was not, as they claim, the “first chief rabbi of Israel.” The synagogue itself is certainly not a “main bastion of support for Israel,” but a small local synagogue used mostly by ultra-Orthodox Jews. The Jewish and Persian-exile communities in the UK have been begging the government to make the IRGC illegal in the UK due to its persistent and credible terror threats against British citizens. They pleaded with the police to deal with activists who have been using their platforms on IRGC-sponsored media to spread deranged conspiracies about Jews in Britain, specific schools and synagogues, and even individual families. But the police failed to act, and when Jewish groups attempted private prosecutions against these psychopaths, the CPS and the courts failed too. They failed—and now this.

So I’ve had a minute to think about this ego driven vanity clip #MeghanMarkle dropped for #asever and I have questions. •this seems like a rebrand. Why are there no new products? These are the same products since launch. Same packaging. She has not added anything new besides limited edition crap. •why does it feel like a low rent fashion reel? She wears no less than 8 outfits worth over $100,000, never MIND the jewelry. What is “as ever” about this? She picks up a few jars of as ever spread-BFD, it could be any brand. There’s nothing about this that makes you connect to the brand. •the acting is horrid. She looks so pretentious and awkward-she REALLY should have hired another person to be the face of the brand but we all know her ego would have never allowed that. Markle was a bad actor then and is still a bad actor. •is she selling clothing? Jewelry? It’s just so disjointed and Markle heavy that the focus is on her, not the brand. Brands do rebrands when they want to target a new audience, launch new product, recover from a PR crisis, or to stay fresh and relevant. This is not accomplishing those things-it’s weird and just an excuse for Markle to be on camera in a bunch of designer clothes she can now write off as a business expenses. I see you, girl. #MeghanIsTheProblem #MeghanMarkleIsAGrifter

DISGUSTING: Dr. Mustafa Barghouti has doubled down on the remarks that sparked outrage in Gaza. In another podcast, he repeated the same disgusting claim: that Israel killed 22,000 children in Gaza, yet Palestinians "produced" another 82,000 children—and, in his view, that somehow constitutes "resistance." Many families in Gaza who lost their children have condemned those remarks, accusing him of exploiting their unimaginable loss for political rhetoric. Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, along with many Hamas leaders, has literally referred to Palestinian children as "products." No child is replaceable. No grieving parent wants to hear their murdered son or daughter reduced to something that can simply be "produced" again. Every child is irreplaceable. Every life is sacred. Anyone defending or excusing that rhetoric should be ashamed.

Recently, Athena Forum Director Faika ahmed abd elrhman spoke at the Hanus Days Festival in Bratislava on reality, freedom and human dignity. She spoke about the many, many women across Europe who have been viciously attacked and subjected to a social and professional death sentence for standing up for women's rights. Women who are feminists, oftentimes lesbians, former leftists, accomplished professionals. Who have been likened to extremists - in reports, dossiers and media coverage -, have been made physically unsafe, existentially destitute and emotionally abandoned by their political allies and often closest comrades, friends and family. And about the perpetrators who are orchestrating an inquisition akin to a holy war. Against those who are disobedient and refuse to follow blatant lies, who do not support harmful social changes and medical interventions, and continue to stand for women's rights. And the values that ground those who perpetrate the persecution, those who follow them, and those who watch; in horror, with fascination, indifference or in silence. And about the current state of “the progressive project”, which once understood freedom as the collective struggle to improve the material conditions of life. Today, freedom is conceived as the individual right to define oneself independently of social and biological reality. Subjective identity has replaced objective reality, bodily integrity has given way to radical autonomy, exploitation has become self-empowerment and agency. Alongside this paradigmatic shift, another intellectual current is reshaping our understanding of what it means to be human, to be embodied, to be women and men, of the fabric of the society in which we are embedded, and the proper role of the state. Moving away from accepting the givenness and limits of the human condition and towards maximising autonomy, choice and technological control. Link to the full speech and discussion below ⬇️

This evening, Israeli residents set fire twice to the perimeter of the UNRWA Headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem. This took place while UNRWA and other UN Agencies’ staff were on the compound. While there were no casualties among our staff, the fire caused extensive damage to the outdoor areas. The UNRWA headquarters has on its grounds a petrol and diesel station for the Agency’s fleet of cars. Our director with the help of other staff had to put out the fire themselves as it took the Israeli fire extinguishers and police a while before they turned up. A crowd accompanied by armed men were witnessed outside the compound chanting “Burn down the United Nations” (see video below 👇 from Israeli media). This is an outrageous development. Once again, the lives of UN staff were at a serious risk. In light of this second appalling incident in less than a week, I have taken the decision to close down our coumpound until proper security is restored. Over the past two months, Israeli extremists have been staging protests outside the UNRWA compound in Jerusalem, called by an elected member of the Jerusalem municipality. This week, the protest became violent when demonstrators threw stones at UN staff and at the buildings of the compound. Over the past months, UN staff have regularly been subjected to harassment and intimidation. Our compound has been seriously vandalized and damaged. On several occasions, Israeli extremists threatened our staff with guns. It is the responsibility of the State of Israel as an occupying power to ensure that United Nations personnel and facilities are protected at all times. UN staff, premises and operations should be protected at all times in line with international law. I call on all those who have influence to put an end to these attacks and hold all those responsible accountable. The perpetrators of these attacks must be investigated and those responsible must be held accountable. Anything less will set a new dangerous standard.

‼️🇮🇷🇺🇲 Benjamin Netanyahu warned the security cabinet: “We may have to face the Iranians alone.” It became known that at yesterday’s cabinet meeting, the Israeli Prime Minister stated: “We may reach a situation where we will have to confront the Iranians alone, without U.S. support, with all the accompanying costs, armament problems, and global isolation. We do not want to reach this point, but we know it is possible.” In parallel, at the meeting, the Chief of the General Staff of Israel, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, warned those present about the expected agreement (with Iran): “As we see it now – almost every agreement is a bad agreement.” This reveals significant concern and realism within the Israeli leadership regarding potential confrontation with Iran. Netanyahu and the military command are preparing for a scenario where Israel may have to act with limited or no U.S. support, highlighting growing tensions and differing priorities between Washington and Jerusalem.

The case of Débora Rodrigues is a brutal example of what happens when the judicial system abandons impartiality and turns into a tool of political repression. The disproportionate sentence imposed on her, comparable to those given for violent crimes, has no reasonable justification in a democratic state governed by the rule of law. It is a judicial aberration that reveals the vindictive nature of those in power in Brazil today. Even if Débora had committed a serious crime, her punishment should have followed principles of proportionality, considering her clean record and personal circumstances. But as far as we know, her "great threat" was a symbolic act—a peaceful protest. A 14-year sentence is not justice; it is institutionalized torture. Those who condone this, whether through silence or justification, must understand that tomorrow they could be the next target. Today it’s Débora—tomorrow it could be any citizen who dares to challenge the establishment. Brazil is moving toward a regime where political dissent is punished with the harshest penalties, while criminals allied with those in power receive pardons and privileges. If lawmakers do not take a stand against this injustice, they will be signing the death sentence of Brazilian democracy. You are absolutely right to bring this case to the international community. History shows that authoritarian regimes only retreat when faced with both external and internal pressure. This is no longer just a political issue—it is a humanitarian one.
