Mistake to think Twitter is a medium for academic exchange. It's not, it's a madhouse, and everyone on it is mad, in both senses of word.

This is a fairly long film in terms of what X likes, but it is one of the most important and detailed videos that absolutely everybody should bookmark, watch and share.
This is the most detailed evidence-based film about the Origins of the Palestinian Cause, right from its Nazi roots.
I cannot complement the producer of this film, @rehoov, enough. This is a masterpiece of historical significance.
I hope people like @MOSSADil @marklevinshow @DefiyantlyFree @BillAckman @ACTBrigitte @jihadwatchRS and others may share this to a much wider audience. It is so essential that the truth is seen by everyone, and the lies exposed.

Does anyone seriously think that if Israel agreed to a Palestinian state along the ‘’67 borders that the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah would stop attacking Israel. Because if you do….

I haven’t seen the proposed deal (neither has anyone else), but it really doesn’t matter what’s in it, because it’s undeniable that Iran has emerged victorious. They’ve now learnt that they can close the straits and no one can, or will, do what’s required to open them. So, if the Europeans don’t lift the sanctions, close the straits. The Gulf states don’t bend to Tehran's will. Close the straits. I’m struggling, from a military perspective, to understand how the US entered this war without a strategy to deal with the straits. A strategy that would demonstrate to the Iranians that it was a weapon they couldn’t employ. But the reverse has happened. They’ve learnt how effective a weapon it is, and how easy it is to implement.

This is beyond embarrassing. Almost as bad, if not worse, than the minister who commenting on the plan he hadn’t seen.

Savvy Trevor Phillips takes the day off and leaves Wilfred Frost to hand village idiot Lisa Nandy her arse on a plate, he asks her if there are 700 vessels in the Russian Shadow Fleet how come the UK has stopped an awe-inspiring ONE of them in four years.
She says that shows how serious Keir Starmer's Government is on the matter....

This is either Israel attacking as many high value targets it can before a deal can be signed, or a signal to both Iran, and the US that it won’t be bound by any deal it wasn’t party to.

בתקיפה מדויקת בדאחייה שבביירות: חיל-האוויר תקף מפקדה של ארגון הטרור חיזבאללה
המפקדה שהותקפה שימשה את מחבלי ארגון הטרור חיזבאללה לקידום מתווי טרור נגד אזרחי מדינת ישראל וכוחות צה"ל הפועלים בדרום לבנון.
התקיפה בוצעה לאחר שמוקדם יותר היום (א'), ארגון הטרור חיזבאללה שיגר מטרות אוויריות לעבר שטח מדינת ישראל.
ארגון הטרור חיזבאללה ממשיך לקדם מתווי טרור נגד אזרחי מדינת ישראל וכוחות צה"ל.
צה"ל ימשיך לפעול להסרת כל איום על מדינת ישראל וכוחות צה"ל, ובהתאם להנחיות הדרג המדיני.

The anti-Israel crowd want nothing less than the complete destruction of the Israeli state. Because that’s what “restrain Israel” means. Stop Israel from doing that which is allowed to every other state; defend itself.

Step one in ensuring that any peace deal has a chance: restrain Israel.
Right now, Israel’s ability to conduct consistent strikes into Iran is heavily dependent on U.S. assistance.
As Israel’s own defense minister spells out below, Israel has different objectives than we do, and it’s clear they will not be inclined to adhere to a peace agreement.
The stated intent runs wholly counter to U.S. objectives, yet Israel cannot sustain wars on multiple fronts without financial and military support from the U.S.
Until they are able to do so, their actions will continue to interfere with our strategic goals and drag the U.S. into conflicts that don’t serve us.
Make no mistake—this is a threat to sabotage our deal. But we can remove the leverage:
Take away the military support we are providing Israel, immediately, to preserve the potential of ending this foolish war.

8/ The person running Doctors Without Borders @MSF_USA is Tirana Hassan, the former head of Human Rights Watch.
She has said nothing about her MSF staff systematically raping or exploiting underage Sudanese refugee girls.
Her silence protects the predators.

Iran launched multiple one-way attack drones in an attempt to strike commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. forces have downed all of them in recent hours as traffic flow through the strait continues unimpeded. The international trade corridor remains open for transit.

Another apology. But what strikes me about all this is just how much the middle classes in the UK look down on the working class. And that goes equally from those born working class and who become middle class.

This hasn't aged well. I swallowed Police Scotland spin about "misinformation" being spread about an incident where "a Bulgarian couple were approached by youths".
In fact, was the one assaulted and verbally abused by the Bulgarian couple.
Sorry Sophie from Dundee
But all credit to Dundee Sheriff Court for getting to the truth.

The best thing about @elonmusk becoming the world’s first trillionaire is the Left’s response to it. It’s good to know the politics of envy is alive and well.

Here’s a prediction. There’s not going to be a deal with an Iran. Trump is just manipulating the market.

Trump is an absolute bullshit artist. If, as he claimed, the US was already getting millions of barrels of oil out, why does the opening of the Straits feature so much in all the reports.

Gender ideology hits dog training. Pretty sure we’ll be discussing dog transitioning fairly soon.

I live down the road from WellBN and know some of the people involved in this. I have gnc kids who grew up in BandH (who were not affected). It's effing horrific, and @BrightonHoveCC has turned a blind eye.
Please read the whole thing which @nickwallis links to.

“If you’re asking biological related questions about how safe it is for a biological male to take drugs in order to lactate to feed a baby - & I cannot believe we’re having this conversation - then that person says, you’re vilifying me…”

During her tenure she fought for paid maternity leave for women and won
Here, she has some fresh words to say about the current commissioner Anna Cody 👇 (and the potential pregnancy of men 🤪)

Here is me, a lawyer, explaining genocide, @TuckerCarlson. Not an unqualified poli-sci prof who just hates Israel. Genocide has real meaning and real legal consequences. If you ever decide to stop making yourself and your show into a clown show, feel free to reach out.
