What did y’all think "globalize the intifada" meant? Vibes? Papers? Essays? 🧵
It meant this sweet young couple, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, gunned down at an American Jewish Committee event at the Jewish Museum by radicalized monster Elias Rodriguez, chanting “Free, free Palestine.” (1/20)
We need to know how it came to this—how did Jew-hate become so normalized that the killer can be assured of widespread support from certain quarters? And what future awaits Jews in the West? TL;DR: It's grim. (2/20)
Already, voices blaming Jews and Israel, rather than the killer or the people who radicalized him, are spreading across the internet. Naturally, the people spreading these lies are the ones who incited such actions. (3/20)
When Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in February 2024, hailed as a hero by large parts of the left for his impotent act, further violent acts were guaranteed. (4/20)
When Qatar-funded astroturfed protests on campuses across America started calling for "Globalize the Intifada," and the fact that not-so-coded calls for the murder of Jews were normalized and excused, the murder of Jews became inevitable.
When Qatar bought off every journalist and politician they could find to ensure they would face no consequences for trying to undermine the USA, violence was assured. (5/20)
When, just one month ago, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was nearly assassinated—burned alive in his bed on Passover—because of his Jewish faith, and the establishment media buried the story because it didn't benefit the anti-Zionist narrative they shared with the crazed attacker, more such attacks became likely. (6/20)
When, just the day before the attack, endless mainstream media outlets published the obvious lie that Israel was about to kill 14,000 babies, attacks on Jews became even more inevitable. (7/20)
When a bored college-radicalized trust fund kid, Luigi Mangione, decided to become a hero to the left by murdering a CEO, and then actually became a hero to the left, with mainstream figures like Taylor Lorenz elevating the murderer to the level of folk hero, and giving sad young men the idea that doing a Luigi was the way to win women's hearts, more left-wing political murder became inevitable. (8/20)
When the psychotic Kanye West began his campaign of threats against Jews, leading up to his latest "Heil Hitler" song, and prominent figures on the right—from Candace Owens to Joe Rogan—excused his behavior or even praised him as some free speech hero exposing nefarious Jewish schemes, the likelihood of such attacks approached 100%. (9/20)
When the US media establishment and parts of the Democratic Party elite made Mahmoud Khalil, a degenerate terror supporter, into a cause célèbre, the risk to Jews in the USA increased. (10/20)
When agents of Iran in the UK blurred the lines between Jewish and Zionist institutions—even kindergartens—while also openly calling for attacks on Zionists worldwide, and the UK police did nothing despite the obvious incitement to violence, violence against Jews in the UK became inevitable. (11/20)
When, as Drew Pavlou notes, left-wing influencer nepo babies like Hasan Piker hosted terror fans like George Ganitis (Bad Empanada), who encourages terror attacks against Israelis, and faced no consequences, Jews were going to get killed as a result. (12/20)
When the Nazi account of history was revived from the dead by self-taught morons, blaming Churchill and the Jews for starting World War II, platformed by mainstream figures like Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan, and faced no consequences, Jewish blood inevitably flowed. (13/20)
When Tucker Carlson could do more to popularize Hitler's own interpretation of WWII than any man since Hitler, but still stood on stage with the President's son, and got his own son a job with the Vice President, and be invited to the White House, Jew-hate was well and truly normalized on the mainstream right. (14/20)
When Joe Rogan could do the same and rely on the continued friendship of certain Jews, for their own personal benefit but to their eternal shame, the battle to keep Jew-hate away from the right was lost. (15/20)
The horror today is that nothing can be done. A large portion of a generation in the West has been radicalized by foreign-funded hate campaigns against Jews and Israel.
Enthusiasts of Islamic moral absolutism and Marxist social revolutionaries alike picked up the tools of postmodernist moral relativism and have used them to try and fracture the West from within. (16/20)
Almost half of the world's Jews now live in Israel—that number rises each year—and are protected under the umbrella of the IDF. The other half almost all live in Western nations: 6 million in the USA, and about 1.5 million in Europe.
These two groups face the same threat from radicals but for different reasons. In Europe and Canada, police forces tasked with controlling mobs are mostly institutionally captured by people either sympathetic to their cause or too afraid to resist pandering to the mob for fear of being accused of the ultimate crime, Islamophobia. (17/20)
In the USA, policing is mostly much more robust, but widespread gun availability means that lone wolf attackers are basically impossible to stop.
It will not work, but nevertheless, a large portion of the youth have been indoctrinated—tens of millions of young people in the West are sympathetic to political violence against Israel, Jews, capitalism, and the West. This is now baked into the future of the West.
These indoctrinated radicals, on the left and the right, won't be able to form an army and they don't agree on much (except Jew-hate), so there will be no Civil War II. But a globalized, decentralized intifada? That is inevitable at this point. (18/20)
No nation has done more to bring about this calamity than Qatar, which saw an open goal and stuffed it with as much money as the US education system could absorb. Their reckoning is coming.
It was obvious from October 8, as Jew-hating protests ran rampant around the world, that the Jews of Israel would be safer than Jews in the West—better facing Hamas from behind the IDF than their Western fan clubs behind various incompetent and lightly armed police forces. (19/20)
So what can be done? The answer, unfortunately, is not positive. Things will definitely get worse, perhaps much worse, and it might be a generation until this evil works its way out of the system.
In Europe, Jews should leave. It's that time again, folks. There is no sugarcoating this—it's that final scene from Fiddler on the Roof again: Pack your bags, and remember that Anatevka wasn't that great anyway. Nobody is going to protect you from the mobs who will get bolder and more violent as the 21st century rolls on and your home nations deal with their own decline.
In the USA, Jews need to get guns to protect themselves and buckle up for tough times. Things will get worse before they get better. But again, the best protection against Jew-hate is to get behind, literally, the Israeli Army: Only they are actually "fighting" antisemitism. (20/20)

There’s a special place in hell for the editors & journalists who took Hamas’ photos of children with congenital conditions (and parents with double chins) and broadcast them to their already radicalized audience with the message, ‘Look what the Jews did.’
Remember their names.
One of the many consolations of the demise of the newspaper industry is that this is the last generation of journalists.
This was a coordinated, Qatar-run campaign designed to help Hamas in its bargaining efforts. By spreading these libels, they not only harmed Israel and the hostages, betrayed Trump, and endangered Jews worldwide—they also guaranteed more suffering for the people of Gaza.
It incentivized further immiseration of the Gazans by Hamas.
This insane and completely baseless "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"-level conspiracy wasn’t just broadcast on LBC—the producers liked it so much, they clipped it and shared it across all their social media platforms. If any other minority were slandered like this, the UK police would be knocking on doors and making arrests.
Historically, spreading lies about how Juice crave gentile blood was always, always, a preamble to their murder. This time will be no different, and LBC and all the rest will share in the blood-guilt.
We can only assume that the originator of the conspiracy knows so little about Judaism that they assume that since Christians have "Sunday School" to learn about their faith, Jews would have "Shabbat School." Evil and stupid stuff from LBC.
Why, one might ask, would anyone believe such nonsense? Such a stupid lie so easily disproven? And then broadcast it to millions?
The 15,000,000 Jews alive today are the product of 40 generations of people who said "no," often at great cost. Evolutionary selection pressures made them countercultural contratians.
They aren't "chosen"—that's a misunderstanding of the theology. They are the "choosers." (1/3)
And this—not any extra level of innate intelligence (some Asian groups are smarter on average), nor in-group clannishness (many cultural groups are far more nepotistic)—is the reason Jews have had an outsized impact on so many fields of human endeavour. (2/3)
The many agreeable Jews willing to go along with the crowd—follow Jesus & his disciples, or Muhammad & his—are not the ancestors of modern Jews. If you're a Jew today, it's because there is a 40-generation-long chain of contrarians baked into every cell of your body. (3/3)
As Francesca Albanese tries to revive BDS—just as Arab states clamour for peace & trade with Israel—few have noticed that next week (July 9) marks 20 years since the BDS movement set out to defeat Israel by isolating & boycotting it. 🧵
So let’s review the results: (1/8)
Over that period, Israel has overtaken all the major European nations in terms of GDP per capita and now boasts the sixth highest GDP per capita in the world, of all nations with 10 million population or more. (2/8)
Far from being isolated, the Israeli passport is now one of the most powerful in the world: Israelis enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 170 countries, ranking 19th globally, and that is set to expand along with the Abraham Accords. (3/8)
There are three goals for the war. Forcing Israel to end the war prematurely means you can only pick two:
1. Bring home the last 20 hostages (and the 30 bodies being held as bargaining chips).
2. Ensure Hamas can never again pose a strategic threat to Israel.
3. Free the two million Gazans from Hamas— a prerequisite for any form of meaningful rebuilding.
Israel has already achieved point 2. Hamas is now permanently boxed in behind a large buffer zone, and even a small IDF presence with close surveillance ensures they can never rearm or threaten Israelis again.
So, from a purely cynical Israeli perspective, a deal that ends the hostage situation in return for allowing Hamas to remain in some form of power might be acceptable. True, they won't be able to claim "Total Victory" while Hamas still rules the rubble and terrorizes its own people—but Total Victory would have come with Total Responsibility, and a new set of risks. For most Israelis, “We reduced them to a harmless (to us) rabble” is victory enough.
The people who have been clamoring for a ceasefire since 2023 always supported Hamas. They never cared a jot for the Gazans, whom they saw only as useful tools. If they had even an ounce of humanity—or even common sense—they would recognize that Hamas is now only a threat to the Gazans themselves, and that a Total Israeli Victory is what they should be calling for too.
Note that this would be the same policy Israel took in Lebanon and Iran. Bringing about regime change immediately via military force is neither easy nor desirable. Better, reduce the enemy threat to you to something manageable in the long term, and let the locals fight it out.
