This Day May 10 1994, Yasser #Arafat admitted the “peace process” was a farce. While Arafat played the peacemaker in English, he continued inciting, funding & glorifying terror in Arabic.

#Gaza Genocide, famine, ... marathon. 2,500 Palestinians ran yesterday. "Facts are stubborn things." — John Adams, 1770. 2 500 Palestiniens ont couru hier. Les faits, eux, ne plaident pas. #SilenceIsNotAnOption 🇮🇱 ⚠️ Stop whitewashing islamist terrorism

Marathons and starvation don't get along that well. Exactly the point.

Jetzt ist der #Sumud-Flotilla Fanbase aber jeder Schalter durchgeschmort. Wie ich das in den Anfängen der sog. "Querdenker" schrieb, so auch jetzt: Diese Leute sind später für nichts mehr zu gebrauchen und auch nicht mehr zurückzuholen. PS Wer hat ihm das Ding gestrickt? Muddi? Himmel!

More Victory Day weirdness from Russia: Citing security concerns, Izhevsk did its parade yesterday, 2 days early, without any prior announcement. The governor showed up at the veterans' rehearsal and told everyone that this would be it. The region has been under repeated drone & missile warnings.

Zum Jewish American Heritage Month veröffentlichte die US-Ausgabe der Kindersendung Sesame Street Anfang Mai auf X einen harmlosen Clip mit der jüdischen Schauspielerin Kat Graham. Ausreichend, um den antisemitischen Reflexapparat in den sozialen Medien anzuwerfen.
