Good people sometimes do bad things. Bad people sometimes do good things. One of life's challenges is to navigate this world trying to make the right decisions — to do good things. Look ahead, know that you won't always make the right decision, but keep on trying to do good things.

I did in the IDF, the commander was a Bedouin

In 1956, Nahal Oz security officer Roi Rothberg was ambushed and murdered by infiltrators from Gaza. His funeral was attended by Moshe Dayan. The general's words at the funeral read especially chilling after October 7: "Beyond the furrow of the border, a sea of hatred and desire for revenge is swelling, awaiting the day when serenity will dull our path, for the day when we will heed the ambassadors of malevolent hypocrisy who call upon us to lay down our arms... Let us not be deterred from seeing the loathing that is inflaming and filling the lives of the hundreds of thousands of Arabs who live around us. Let us not avert our eyes lest our arms weaken. This is the fate of our generation. This is our life's choice—to be prepared and armed, strong and determined, lest the sword be stricken from our fist and our lives cut down. The young Roi who left Tel Aviv to build his home at the gates of Gaza to be a wall for us was blinded by the light in his heart and he did not see the flash of the sword. The yearning for peace deafened his ears and he did not hear the voice of murder waiting in ambush."

It’s good to see the Tartan Army picking up where it left off in World Cups 28 years ago.

Israel's brief detention of Sumud flotilla influencers led to international headlines and state condemnations. 3 weeks ago, ten members of the Sumud Land Convoy were captured & imprisoned in Libya while on their way to Gaza. They're still there. No headlines. Little outrage.

Calling Israel's military response a genocide constitutes incitement to genocide under international law—following the precedent of the Rwandan Genocide that recognized genocide inversion as incitement—if three conditions hold: 1) October 7 was a legally-defined genocide 2) Israel's military response was not a legally-defined genocide 3) accusations of genocide against Israel circulated before, during, and after the October 7 genocide, were used to justify the October 7 genocide, and tended to treat Israelis as collectively genocidal as a population. All three conditions hold.

Congratulations Cabo Verde

When @BBCArabic was recently found using a terrorist as a source, many treated it as a shocking revelation. But it wasn't an isolated incident. For years, concerns have been raised about BBC Arabic's editorial standards, including its use of sources linked to extremist groups, the amplification of inflammatory rhetoric, and repeated failures to provide audiences with crucial context. These issues matter because millions of people rely on the BBC for accurate and impartial reporting. Trust in journalism depends on transparency. Audiences deserve to know who is being quoted, what interests they represent, and whether they have ties to terrorist organizations. 👉 Share now to help fight against anti-Israel bias in the media. 🔗 Read the full report at camera.org

Yet more evidence that he’s never met a dictator he didn’t like. This drivel will come back to haunt him. Everything he says about the Iranian regime couldn’t be more wrong.

While everyone was asleep, New Zealand scored the best team goal of the tournament so far

Bibi, look in the mirror. Your life's work is officially a catastrophic failure.For thirty years, you sold the Israeli public a brilliant illusion: 'I am the only global statesman who knows how to manage Washington. I am the only one who can stand up to American presidents. Trump is my best friend, the greatest ally Israel ever had in the White House, and together we will destroy the Iranian threat.' Look at where your hubris and pathetic manipulations have left us today. You dragged Israel into a high-stakes, devastating regional war with Iran, promising total victory and the collapse of the regime. And what did your 'best friend' do the second it became politically convenient for him? He completely boxed you out of the room. He sold down directly with Tehran, unfroze $24 billion, lifted the blockades, and signed a disastrous Memorandum of Understanding that leaves Iran's nuclear tracks wide open—all to lower gas prices for American voters before his midterm elections. And you? You didn't even get a seat at the table. You were reduced to a humiliated bystander, leaving a cabinet meeting to take a phone call where Trump screamed at you that you have 'no fucking judgment' because our jets dared to strike Beirut. Even worse, you have completely subordinated the sovereignty of the State of Israel to your own personal legal survival. You spent your strategic credit begging Trump for political cover and a future pardon in your corruption trials, instead of using that leverage to protect Israel's vital security interests. Because you are terrified of him, you stood at a podium yesterday and weakly claimed 'the main goals were achieved,' while your far-right ministers have to scream at you to 'bang on Trump's desk' because Hezbollah is still entrenched on our northern border. You completely misjudged Trump's isolationism, you got totally outflanked by Iranian diplomacy, and you turned Israel from an independent superpower into an American protectorate that gets thrown under the bus the moment the Washington clock runs out. You are old, you are tired, and you are trapped. You promised us total security and absolute victory. Instead, you gave us October 7, an endless war of attrition, and a historic American betrayal. Your 'best friend' just stabbed us in the back, and you are too weak to even call it what it is. The illusion is over, Bibi. It's time to pack your bags.

I can now confirm that Israel formally requested access to the Iran MoU and was denied. A remarkable and highly unusual development between close allies on an issue of such critical national security importance.

🇸🇩 "Operation 'Look Over Here Instead' continues to run flawlessly." While the world argues about Iran and Israel, Sudan’s civil war has quietly become the largest humanitarian crisis on the planet. Two generals are fighting for power. RSF vs SAF. Whoever wins, the civilians lose. Over 200,000 people are dead. 19.5 million face acute hunger. The RSF stands accused of genocide in Darfur. The SAF is backed by Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, Russia, and Pakistan while hosting multiple U.S.-designated terrorist organizations inside its own ranks, including IRGC-trained units. Some of the same countries demanding a deal with Iran are simultaneously arming and supporting the SAF. No Jews. No news. No wall-to-wall coverage. Just millions of people being slaughtered and starved while the world focuses on the story it prefers. We’ve been watching this unfold for years. The priorities are exactly as expected.

I suspect that many MPs wouldn't recognize an antisemitic trope even if they fell over it in the Members' Smoking Room. ‘Israel lobby’ debate ‘falls within’ IHRA antisemitism definition, says Lord Pickles thejc.com/news/politics/parl…

Remember: If it was a genocide, you wouldn’t have to lie.

Curious how supposed “Jewish-Muslim solidarity” invariably involves Jews with weak religious identity and antipathy to Jewish self-determination and Muslims with strong religious identity and proclivity for Muslim self-determination.

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has said: “Any deal with this regime will fail and is morally wrong” “The regime has the blood of thousands on its hands… Why come so close to leave it in place?” He’s right in my opinion.

And the next logical step is this: If Lebanon wants its land back from Israel, Hezbollah must surrender its arsenal to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). Until then, half a million Shia southerners will continue to live in tents even if the war has stopped.

1/ The @Independent's analysis by @Beltrew claims "ominous signs are coming from Israel and Hezbollah." But from the opening paragraph, it's clear who is cast as the villain. 🧵

Oh sure “Tom”. We heard nothing during the war from Al Jazeera and all its slave-state incarnations like AJ English and AJ , Russia Today, Quds News, CNN, BBC News, BBC News Arabic, ITV News, Channel 4 News, every newspaper, and the Press Releases from Hamas they relied on.

Everyone believes “war is bad” until Hezbollah terrorists drop thousands of rockets on Israeli cities. Then it’s called “resistance” because Jews are being killed, right?
