Today is Thursday, March 19, 2026 — and Kathy Hochul is the WORST governor in America. Zohran Mamdani is the WORST mayor in America. If you agree, R/T

The argument that America is only in the Middle East because of Israel is not just wrong. It is historically illiterate in a way that requires active effort to maintain. America’s strategic interest in the Middle East predates the modern state of Israel entirely. Franklin Roosevelt met with Saudi King Ibn Saud in 1945, three years before Israel existed, to establish America’s foundational relationship with Gulf oil. The Truman Doctrine, the Eisenhower Doctrine, the Carter Doctrine, all of them were built around one thing: keeping Soviet hands off Middle Eastern oil and keeping the global energy supply out of hostile control. Israel wasn’t the variable. Oil was the variable. Geography was the variable. The Middle East sits at the intersection of three continents and controls the energy supply of the entire industrialized world. America would have a vital strategic interest in that region if Israel had never existed at all. Now let’s talk about every single American entanglement in the Middle East and ask honestly how many of them were about Israel. The 1953 Iran coup was about British oil interests and Soviet encroachment. No Israel. The 1958 Lebanon intervention was about Arab nationalism and Soviet influence. No Israel. The tanker wars of the 1980s were about keeping oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz during the Iran-Iraq war. No Israel. The 1991 Gulf War was about Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait and threatening Saudi Arabia. No Israel. In fact Israel stayed out of it entirely at American request even after Saddam fired Scud missiles at Tel Aviv. America fought that war to protect Arab oil states, not Israel. The 2001 Afghanistan invasion was a direct response to September 11th, which was planned in Afghanistan by a Saudi national running an organization funded by Gulf money with ideology rooted in Egyptian and Saudi Wahhabism. No Israel. The 2003 Iraq invasion, whatever you think of it, was about weapons of mass destruction claims, regional dominance, and finishing what 1991 started. Israel didn’t ask for it and wasn’t the justification. And now Iran. America’s conflict with Iran began in 1979 when the Islamic Revolution took 52 American diplomats hostage for 444 days. Before Israel had anything to do with it. Iran has killed over 500 American soldiers through proxies in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iran plotted to assassinate a Saudi ambassador on American soil. Iran directed attacks on American embassies and bases across the region for decades. Iran was months from a nuclear weapon that its leadership had explicitly said it would use to threaten America’s allies and eventually America itself. Every single one of those is an American interest, an American grievance, and an American reason to act that has nothing to do with Israel. The argument that Israel is why America is in the Middle East doesn’t just get the history wrong. It inverts it. America was in the Middle East before Israel existed, stayed in the Middle East for reasons entirely independent of Israel, and has fought its bloodiest Middle Eastern conflicts against enemies who were America’s enemies first and Israel’s enemies second. The people making this argument aren’t missing a few facts. They are constructing an alternative history from scratch and hoping nobody checks it. The tragedy is that millions of people are accepting it without checking it, because it has been repeated loudly enough and long enough that it feels true even though it isn’t. Israel is not why America is in the Middle East. Oil, geography, Soviet containment, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and 47 years of Iranian aggression directed specifically at the United States are why America is in the Middle East. And if your entire case against this operation ultimately boils down to “this is Israel’s war,” you have disqualified yourself from serious analysis. Not because the statement is offensive. Because it is ignorant.

Apparently this guy from Bob Vylan doesn't want people to know that his real name is Pascal Robinson-foster after his performance at Glastonbury yesterday It would be terrible if everyone Re-tweeted this

I’m sharing with you this text that Mid-career MPA Harvard student Sofia Ilan sent me. Long story short - Susan Akram is no longer appropriate for her position as BU's Director of the Human Rights Law Clinic! “I don't tend to share too much on social media, but this is an important one. Let me start by saying, wars are bad. Humans losing their lives is tragic. And sometimes I close my eyes and want to believe it was all a bad dream. But it wasn't. My beloved country is at war. Not with my beloved Palestinian neighbors, but with Hamas. It fights the war of the entire liberal world against Jihadism, extremism, and violence. Last Thursday I attended a "talk on the history of Palestine", with two guest professors from outside of Harvard. What caught me completely off guard was hearing from BU's Director of the Human Rights Law Clinic, Susan Akram, that Hamas and Hezbollah are NOT terrorist organizations, but legitimate "resistance movements". You see, according to this distinguished "Human Rights" professor, if you are a baby born on the "wrong" side of the world, it's legitimate, to cook you alive in the oven until you become ash. If you are a woman, it's perfectly "legitimate" to rape you and cut off your breasts. That, ladies and gentlemen, is LEGITIMATE. It's absolutely striking that even in 2023 professors are abusing their academic speech to promote Jihadi ideas. No wonder only last week a group of students chanted "Globalizing intifada" next to John Harvard's statue. A call for global war. I left absolutely heartbroken and devasted.” @Harvard

BREAKING: An expensive Australian trip last week by UN official @franceskalbs—who told Hamas they have “a right to resist”—was funded by Palestinian lobby groups in breach of the UN Code of Conduct. We filed papers calling for her removal. Press release: unwatch.org/calls-to-oust-u-…

Dr Enrico Asher with Israeli President Isaac Hergoz who thanked them profusely for volunteering in a high-risk area. Dr Asher and Dr Natalie Marks are in Israel treating the wounded.

I want you to imagine with me that Jews are a family of 100 people. This family lost 30 to the Holocaust. 20 to pogroms across the Arab world in the 20th century. 20 to other pogroms in Russia, Eastern Europe and other parts of Europe. 10 others to wars and terrorism since the establishment of Israel. Now, the remaining family members have had some of the survivors, their children and babies, raped, murdered and kidnapped. And the world still vilifies, criticises, attacks, and holds that family to inhumane standards, expecting them to give up their right to self-defence whilst facing unimaginable horrors. They have our babies in dark hell-holes and use them as bargaining chips while the world bullies us. Never have I seen that much hate towards any other group of people.

We now have proof that World Health Organization is a terrorism sponsoring organization. .@WHO staff in Gaza should be arrested and stand trial for aiding terrorists.

About October 7. Journalist, historian and former war correspondent @wierdduk from Dutch newspaper @telegraaf wrote this comment today after seeing the awful images at the Israeli embassy👇🏽 "I watched the uncensored footage of the terror attack by Hamas on Oct. 7. Footage from the terrorists' gopro's and cellphones, dashcams and security cameras. This is necessary because October 7 has already disappeared from the media and public eye. 1 have seen a lot in my life, been in wars, but this is another level of horror, comparable only to the atrocities committed by IS and Nazi executioners. 45 minutes of horrific footage of a veritable orgy of slaughter: of killing and burning babies, children, entire families and groups of friends, elderly people. And each time that cry, in triumph: "Allahu Akbar!" The jubilant terrorists, euphoric as they shoot another child. Calling their parents, crying with joy: "Mom, I killed ten of them with my own hands! Their blood is still on my hands!" I will never forget this: two brothers and their father, still in underwear because it is early in the morning, run to a shelter, screaming with fear. A terrorist throws a grenade. The father dies on the spot; the boys emerge from their hiding place in panic: "Daddy, Daddy! The terrorists push them into the house. The one boy in shock: "Daddy is dead, I think we are going to die too." His little brother can no longer see with 1 eye: "I can't see anything," he cries. His brother cares for him, then falls to the ground, crying: "God, why am I still alive?", while a terrorist loots the refrigerator. Where are these little boys now? In Gaza, held hostage, grieving and in agony? Anyone who says "yes, but ..." deserves a place in the deepest caverns of hell. Oh yes, NOS was also invited, but the editors did not even respond." He concluded. Let’s never forget that never again is now. And a responsibility for each of us. In the meantime some leading European politicians still hesitate to call Hamas a terror organisation. 💔 Remember them.

The family of fallen Israeli soldier Jonathan Isaac who was killed in Gaza donated his organs and saved the lives of six people including a baby. May his memory be a blessing 💔

His heart was transplanted to a 46-year-old man; one of his kidneys to a 10-year-old boy; his second kidney to a 50-year-old man; his lungs to a 36-year-old man; his liver to a 51-year-old man; a segment of his liver to an 8-month-old baby girl. WE CHOOSE LIFE!

Was just evacuated from the #DNC after pro-terrorist, anti-#Israel protestors grew violent, pepper spraying police officers and attempting to break into the building. Thankful to the police officers who stopped them and for helping me and my colleagues get out safely. (1/2)

These two women (probably students) just defaced the Israeli product section at our Columbia University @Columbia @BarnardCollege store. They also tried to intimidate our cashiers. Please help identify them.

Today Alexandria Ocasio Cortez watched the footage of the horrific October 7 massacre. She hasn't made a single statement since then. Remember when she was moved to tears when she felt pressured to vote for Iron Dome? Yet she couldn't shed a tear for murdered Israeli kids.

Wow In the Radiolgy dept. Violates MRI safety for sure 🤔🤔

Pro-Israel DC rally ends with singing of G-d bless America. I don’t remember hearing that one at any of the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas rallies.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 Soldiers wearing civilian clothing to deceive the enemy IS A WAR CRIME.
