The truth. This book, written in Latin in 1695, describes the region called Palestine at that time. Author Adriani Relandi was a geographer, cartographer, traveler, philologist. He understood many languages, including Arabic, Ancient Greek and Hebrew. He described nearly 2,500 settlements mentioned in the Bible, and made an approximate census according to settlements. His notes; 1. Palestine is mostly empty, abandoned, sparsely populated. The main population is concentrated in Jerusalem, Akko, Tsfat, Jaffa, Tveria and Gaza. 2. The majority of the population is Jewish; almost everyone else is Christian. A very small part is Muslim, mostly Bedouin... (Relandi refers to Muslims as nomadic Bedouins who come to cities only as seasonal workers in agriculture or construction.) 3. The only exception is Nablus, inhabited by about 120 members of the Muslim Natsha family and approximately 70 Samaritans. 4. About 5,000 people live in Jerusalem; almost all Jews, and a few Christians. 5. The names of most of the settlements are of Jewish origin, and some have Greek or Roman Latin names. Apart from the city of Ramla, there is no Arab settlement whose original name is Arabic. Place names derived from Jewish, Greek or Latin are usually adapted into Arabic and meaningless... 6. Approximately 550 people live in Gaza, half of whom are Jews and half are Christians. Jews were successful in agriculture, especially vineyards, olives and wheat, while Christians were engaged in trade and transportation..." ( Thanks to John Abeles )

Hello Mrs. Owens, You told millions of people that Tyler Robinson "wasn't even there." That you felt "confident stating that Tyler Robinson did not kill murder Charlie Kirk." He was on camera. Prone on the Losi rooftop at 12:22. Shot at 12:23:28. DNA on the screwdriver at 30 quintillion to one. DNA on the rifle at 1.7 octillion to one. He told his family what he did. His parents helped him surrender. He texted his roommate: "I am, I'm sorry." He engraved "Hey Fascist! Catch!" on the ammunition a month before he used it. You said police "didn't even question" Lance Twiggs. He was interviewed twice. FBI the morning after. Joint state-federal team seven months later. His own attorney. Voluntary phone surrender. You laughed when you said it. You told Shawn Ryan a shaped charge killed Charlie. That PETN was in his microphone. The medical examiner says gunshot wound. Bullet fragments were recovered from his body. A .30-06 Mauser with Robinson's DNA was found in the woods. Neither side — not prosecution, not defense — has mentioned explosives. Not once in four days. You said the shot came from below. The Losi building is above the amphitheater. You called Erika Kirk a "clinical psychopath" to an audience of millions. You said the assassination was "an occult ritual." You said Charlie was "sitting in a pentagram." You told people Israel killed him because he refused Netanyahu. You made over a hundred episodes. You built a franchise on a dead man's name. And the hardest fact of all: Tyler Robinson's own defense lawyers — the people whose entire career is on the line to get him acquitted — have refused to make a single one of your arguments. Not one. They're challenging DNA methodology. They are doing their jobs. You were doing something else entirely. Charlie Kirk changed my life. He platformed my work when nobody knew who I was. He had my back when I was doxxed. I was the ten-thousandth most important person in his world and I will never be able to repay him. So I did what I know how to do. I read every transcript. I watched every hour of testimony. I cataloged your claims and I held them up against what was said under oath. Every single one failed. I don't know why you did this. I'm not going to speculate on your motives, because that would make me exactly the kind of analyst I've spent my career refusing to be. But I know what you did. You told people confident lies about a dead man's murder, and millions of them believed you, and some of them turned that belief into threats against his widow. The trial continues. And every day of sworn testimony is another day your words get tested against reality... under oath, on the record, where it counts. I'll be here for all of it... because just as Charlie defended me, I will do what little I can to defend his legacy and @TPUSA and @MrsErikaKirk from evil.

JD Vance in his own words: He was a proud “Never-Trump guy” He “never liked him” JD called him “America’s Hitler”, Used his brand new status as a new Christian (formerly atheist) to scold Christians who supported Trump. “Fellow Christians, everyone is watching when we apologize for this man. Lord, help us.” “Trump makes people I care about afraid. Immigrants, Muslims, etc.. I find him a reprehensible. God wants better of us.” Called Trump supporters racists, “there is definitely an element of Donald Trump support that’s based in racism or xenophobia”. Said he’d “definitely never vote for” Trump. Said Trump would lose. “we told you, Trump would be a terrible candidate.” Said “you’re an idiot if you voted for [Trump].” I don’t think you’ll find @davereaboi EVER saying such things about Donald Trump @RapidResponse47.
Imagine what kind of online brainrot it takes to convince yourself that anyone wants to read the dim-witted ravings of a complete nobody like “Dave Reaboi” on Substack. Never Trumpers like this loser are worst thing that ever happened to this country. Disgraceful.

As tough of a setback as this is for Jews, imagine how it must feel to be an Englishman today, reading about how your own government literally fed your own children to feral sexually aggressive mirpuris for the sake of maintaining community relations and not generating racism. We’re really incredibly fortunate as Jews that there is a Jewish state, even an embattled one, that is unequivocally dedicated to our safety and freedom and willing to go to superhuman lengths to fight for it. There are very few other people that have that. Seriously the situation in the UK is so horrific it’s almost indescribable.

Khaled Abu Toameh (@KhaledAbuToameh) – Prominent Muslim Israeli Arab journalist: "If Israel were an apartheid state, I would not be allowed to work for a Jewish newspaper or live in a Jewish neighborhood or own a home. The real apartheid is in Lebanon, where there is a law that bans Palestinians from working in over 50 professions. Can you imagine if the Knesset passed a law banning Arabs from working even in one profession? The law of Israel does not distinguish between a Jew and an Arab.” Israel sucks at "apartheid."

NEW: An urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Trump’s decision at the last minute: President Trump had intended to declare a complete ceasefire and end the fighting against Iran in exchange for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz. However, a tense phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dramatically changed the plan. According to White House sources, bin Salman begged Trump not to stop the war: “This is a historic opportunity – we must finish the job and weaken the Iranian regime once and for all.” In exchange for continuing the fighting, Saudi Arabia offered an unprecedented package of economic and strategic incentives. Key points in the offer: • $100 billion transferred directly to finance American war costs • Full and immediate normalization with Israel after the fall of the regime • Direct oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the port of Ashdod, turning Israel into a major energy hub • Investment of approximately $1 trillion in the U.S. economy + purchase of $500 billion in American weapons • Establishment of a new regional defense alliance, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other moderate countries under an American umbrella • Joint naval force to control the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb • Funding of strategic U.S. bases in Israel • Joint reconstruction fund for a post-regime “secular and moderate” Iran In the end, Trump announced a temporary ceasefire, not an end to the war as was expected. Senior diplomatic sources describe the move as “a historic turning point” marking the beginning of a new regional order.

But why is the op to turn people against Israel? Two main reasons, aside from the weird ones. 1) To split Americans, especially Republicans (or MAGA or conservatives or "the Right"); 2) The US-Israel alliance is the foundation of a peaceful future for the free world. We've already talked some about (1) in the past. The idea is to use Israel as a wedge to divide Americans deeply. People who firmly oppose antisemitism will never respect or traffic with people who went into it again, and meanwhile, it's incredibly contentious. It was a safe bet by the enemies of America that a huge portion of the American conservative base, especially Evangelical Protestants won't turn against Israel and will turn against anyone who turns against Israel. This is a useful bit of knowledge for (very Russian-feeling) divide-and-conquer political warfare operation. [Our friend Insurrection Barbie (@DefiyantlyFree) did a splendid article on here a month ago outlining some of how this works in detail. You can be absolutely sure she hit a target by how they howled about it.] I won't linger on the split America / MAGA / GOP / conservatives / "the Right" part of this story here. We need to talk about (2). 2) The US-Israel alliance is the foundation of a peaceful future for the free world in the 21st century. As valuable as it is to break the "conservative side" and mentally poison Americans for a generation and maybe undermine Trump, the real agenda here is to undermine the foundation for the US-Israel alliance. That alliance, you need to understand, is the foundation for a peaceful, prosperous world in the 21st century. It's chief opponent is the "Multipolar World" model advanced primarily by Aleksandr Dugin and his surrogates in the Western media, to which the Russian government, Iranian regime, CCP, and World Economic Forum (yeah, that Leftist globalist thing...) are all fully committed. It increasingly appears the Vatican (partner of the WEF as well, at least through side channels like the Council for Inclusive Capitalism) is on board with this program too. Let's get real. Western Europe is failing and is on the precipice of disaster. The UK has joined them in this, as has much of the Commonwealth. Canada is openly making economic and SECURITY arrangements with the CCP. Australia is dipping from the former Western Alliance. South Korea got taken over by Leftists who want to give the country to China, and their former president is under persecution (as are Christians). In other words, what we have thought of as "the Western Alliance" for the last 75 years is coming apart, and the competing model is the "Multipolar World," which is ultimately giving the East to China and the West to Islamism for the remainder of the century (with maybe an extra step or two). We need a new Allied Forces in the world against this new Axis. Yes, btw, your favorite podcasters who are suddenly no longer making sense have joined the Axis Powers. That is how you should understand it. The goal is to diminish the United States while the various Axis Powers rise: Russia, Islamist network (centered in Iran), and CCP. The Multipolar World model demands at least three (and here, four) roughly co-equal powers with different spheres of influence in the world, not a US-led hegemony of freedom, opportunity, security, and prosperity. Russia gets the North. China gets the East. Islam gets the middle and Europe. America can dwindle and falter in the Western Hemisphere, pressured from both north and south and internally at ideological war. For this to work, America has to be diminished on the world stage. The plan there is to isolate and foment internal discord while increasing external pressure. Classic Woke strategy. America will be isolated from its old allies, will not get new allies, and will be seeded internally with division and strife until it cracks. Meanwhile the whole external world will pressure it to break sooner. In America, this agenda is actually called "America First," not as President Trump (probably unwisely) uses it but as the Panicans and Groypers have hijacked it. They are now clear that they mean America Only... and that they're working with Dugin. Dugin's model has always been to isolate America and split it apart from within, so we can see this model is not actually America Only but America Isolated (and eventually destroyed). The thing is, American strength and resilience isn't the only impediment to this plan. The US-Israel alliance is a major impediment to this plan. If things go well, a free Iran will join that alliance. If things go better, so will India. If things go even better than that, so will an un-menaced Taiwan, along with Japan and maybe a righted South Korea (which is a tech supercorridor that cuts all the way across the Eastern Hemisphere, btw, and it's even sometimes called "Pax Silica" to replace Pax Americana). Not only does it cut across the hemisphere, though; it also occupies, controls, and protects the key transport, travel, and shipping lanes through the geographical center of the world (connecting almost 6 billion people). China, Russia, and the Mullahs want to control that, but if the US-Israel alliance succeeds and grows, they're out to lunch. Trump understands this. Netanyahu understands this. Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran also understand this. So do America's domestic enemies. You need to understand this, too. What's being fought for is control of the world stage for the 21st century and likely part of, if not most of the 22nd. Right now. That's what's at stake while you see your favorite podcasters piss and moan about everything they can in order to get in the way of what's happening. Either the world will fragment and allow the unchecked and uncheckable rise of Russia, CCP, and Iranian-style lunatic Islamism, or the US-Israel alliance will remain strong enough to defeat them and recruit other important giants into another century or two of a free, secure world in which lunatic dictators and ideological crackpots are sanctioned, disempowered, and on the run, if not destroyed. The US-Israel alliance is a devastating blow to the Multipolar World ambition because it puts American strength and interests, not to mention freedom and security, squarely in the middle of the world. And Israel is unique in that its central motivation is its own security against existential enemies, who it will always fight and, short of Armageddon, always defeat. US and Israeli primary interests align, as do our secondary and often tertiary interests. The alignment of interests there is key to the success of the alliance, although alignment of underlying values is as well. It's the same kind of alignment we used to have with Western Europe and the Commonwealth against Communism, but now that they've all but succumbed, we need a new plan. You can call it a new world order if you want, but the point is that we're already in a place of major change and have essentially two choices. Only one of them is good. If you want a peaceful, secure, prosperous 21st and 22nd century, or any hope of them, you need to be backing the US-Israel alliance because it's the keystone of that hope. If you want Western Europe and the Commonwealth to have any hope of being pulled back from the brink they're on, you need to be backing the US-Israel alliance because it's literally your only hope. You guys in those parts of the world are slated to join the Islamist and CCP wings of the spoils if this goes wrong. Enjoy your hijabs and social credit systems. So I repeat something I said that went viral yesterday. If you have turned against the US-Israel relationship, or more specifically against Israel itself, recently, especially since October 7, 2023, you are a useful idiot for the cause to destroy everything you hold dear. You have been the victim of a massive psychological operation to advance the interests of your enemies, and that's why you now agree with LEFTISTS on just about everything. It's not us; it's you. They buck-broke you, boys, and now you're a retard. (You will not be able to contact an attorney for this, and you are not entitled to compensation, but if you get your shit together soon enough, you can at least undo some of the damage and recover your future and soul before it's too late.) You should be supporting this alliance. You should be supporting a freed Iran to join this alliance. You should be supporting the destruction of the Multipolar World operation and vision. You should be supporting those who oppose Dugin and his surrogates. And so on, and so forth. The choice is yours. In Liberty.

Hatzalah were among the first to respond on 9/11. Volunteer Hatzalah units across NYC self-dispatched within minutes, arriving at the towers before most other EMS units could fully mobilize. 8 Hatzalah volunteers were killed in the line of duty when the towers collapsed. Hatzalah continued assisting in rescue and recovery efforts alongside the FDNY, NYPD and other EMS units for days after the terror attack.

War Resolve In the past, casualties were the important and real limiting factor in any war. Today, people are worked up over a transitory increase in the price of gasoline and the most evil regime on earth is banking its survival on the West being more concerned about money than lives. Consequently they even execute teenagers without fair trials to create fear among the population to prevent an uprising. And the global anger is over gas prices not the executions. It will take resolve to see it through. The Iranians appear to have enough command and control left to launch desperate attacks on the region and suppress people at home. The aims of the operation have not been met until that chain is broken and the regime can no longer inflict terror on the world. And that may well take another month or so to accomplish and so the world will have to decide if it can withstand a temporary bump in gas prices to rid us of one of its most evil actors whose despicable actions are even more evident each passing day. Hopefully we can find that resolve because the good of ridding the world of this regime, ending its terror network and ending its threats against the West far outweigh a spike at the pump that will quickly be forgotten once this is finished.

This sad, broken, stupid person was director of the national counterterrorism center? Really? His whole letter is just an argument that it's all one giant Israeli conspiracy. And it isn't even a good version of that argument. It's just a crazy reddit post on federal stationery. He got completely lost down that rabbit hole. Lost enough to taint his own wife's death with this garbage. No, Israeli officials didn't dupe Trump into an anti-Iran posture that Trump has championed consistently since long before ever running for office. And no, Israel didn't dupe America into the Iraq War in 2003. Israel actually told America in real time not to go to Iraq because it was taking its eye off the real threat in Iran. That was Prime Minister Sharon's argument. (Yes, Netanyahu once gave testimony in Congress in favor of the Iraq war. He was a private citizen at the time. If that was enough to drag America to war, you've got bigger problems than Israel.) But it gets so, so much worse. This poor sod literally claims he lost his wife to "a war manufactured by Israel." But he lost his wife in Syria fighting ISIS -- a fight he actually supports in this very letter. So which is it? It's tragic reading this kind of insane babble from a broken man. More to the point, this isn't a man capable of understanding or articulating policy. He certainly wasn't in the room when any of these decisions were made. If he was, he wouldn't be telling old lies about old wars. It's good that he's quitting. When all you can see is the demonic specter of the "Jew" blocking out everything else in sight, you no longer have much to offer your country. No, America isn't this stupid. No, Israel isn't this nefarious or powerful. And no, your wife didn't die for Israel, but for America. What a sad, broken, stupid, incompetent man you had running your counterterrorism, America. And what a sad, pathetic party the Republican Party will become if this is its future.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

Gold Star wife here. When ISIS killed your wife, you supported going after the people responsible. You understood exactly why we were fighting and never called it “Israel’s war.” My husband, Alan, was killed by Iranian proxies in Iraq. And now, after decades, the fight is finally leading back to the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world. You understood it when it was your loss. Now you’re minimizing it when it’s mine. You don’t get to redefine this war just because it’s not your grief anymore.

The young man on the left is 19-year-old Shalom Lapid. On the right is Mordechai Lapid, a world famous Jewish refusenik who defeated the Soviet Union and risked his life to leave Russia and come to Israel so he can live as a Jew. On December 6th 1993 a Palestinian car drove by them and sprayed the family car with bullets. The father Mordechai and his son Shalom died from their wounds, and three other children were injured. The doctor that arrived on the scene was it close friend of the family; his name was doctor Baruch Goldstein. After his friend died in his hands, many said Goldstein was deeply traumatized by this event. Thres months later, on February 25th 1995 Goldstein would carry out the most heinous terrorist attack ever carried out by a Jew. He would shoot Muslim worshipers while they were praying in a mosque in Hebron killing 25 Muslim worshipers and injuring over 100. Goldstein was very rightfully condemned by every single Jewish organization, rabbi, and the Israeli government. At no point did ANYONE say that "Goldstein had close family friends who died in his hands after being murdered by Palestinians". Why? Because there is never an excuse for terrorism. Seeing so many media outlets whitewash the heinous attack on Temple Israel in Michigan is appalling and a direct continuation of what they have done to legitimize the horrors of October 7th carried out against the Jewish state of Israel.
The man who rammed his truck into a Michigan synagogue on Thursday had four family members who were killed in an airstrike in Lebanon the week before, a Lebanese official and a Michigan imam said. nyti.ms/4cM3BOq

Oct 7 cleaved the world in two for me. First there was the unspeakable, ever-worsening horror of what had happened. And then there was the different kind of horror as I realized that people I knew—people I was close friends with and related to— were supporting the murderers and rapists. I stopped being able to socialize with these people. I knew from their social media feeds, where they blithely put up Palestinian flags and Valentine hearts to Gaza, where they stood. I was and remain disgusted by their cowardice, especially as I think they are all just going along with the crowd. This was another “Coexist” bumper sticker or BLM sign they could put in their window. This changed everything for me. It’s why I started writing again. It’s why I wrote an essay for Quillette about a 30-year-old rape. It’s why I became obsessed with the notion that we should tell the truth and why I put up an American flag on my barn. It’s why I started reconsidering Christianity. Because these people—and they are all on the left, in the atheist, activist, preening tribe I come from—are morally bankrupt cowards, and I don’t want anything to do with them. I reject their entire aesthetic, which is what it is—a vibe, a look, a posture—not a moral system or even an intellectual engagement. And it didn’t stop with Oct 7. It was absolutely a red line.
“Fact is, October 7 should be a red line for all civilizations, and it must remain a red line for us. We should not hesitate to state and restate that fact—that unqualified condemnation of that day is a basic human litmus test” commentary.org/seth-mandel/o…
