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 an easy way to know if someone has taken Qatari money: Have they said nice things about Qatar?
Qatar isn't Italy or Norway. It's just a little patch of sand with a few gaudy towers and 2,000,000 semi-slaves to serve its little theocratic tribal dictatorship with a population smaller than Lexington, Kentucky. So if you "like" Qatar, it's because they pay you.
Feel free to share examples of people saying nice things about Qatar in the comments.
So, if someone goes to Italy, and comes back gushing about how great the food is, they did not necessarily get paid to do this. However, if they have the same reaction to Qatar, they did.
Another example: if someone goes to California and reports that the climate was wonderful, he wasn't necessarily paid to say that. If he does the same in Qatar, he was.
Why is Heinz Ketchup Called "Tomato Seasoning" in Israel—and How Trump's Tariffs could end up being great for Israelis.
The victims might be the monopolies, Netanyahu and the public might be the victors. This presents huge opportunities for the savvy. Here’s how: (1/8)
When Israel announced a few days ago that it was cancelling all tariffs on American goods, it was essentially bluffing.
There have been virtually no tariffs on American goods for over 30 years. The total amount collected annually was around $40 million — about 0.02% of the Israeli government’s budget. (2/8)
One of the major issues with Israel’s otherwise thriving economy is the high cost of goods, especially groceries, which are on average 50% more expensive than in other OECD countries.
So why hasn't anyone taken advantage of the obvious arbitrage opportunity? If there are no tariffs on American goods, wouldn’t enterprising individuals flood the Israeli market with American products, bringing prices down to U.S. levels (plus shipping and local distribution)? (3/8)
We can learn some critical facts from the current clan-based protests in Gaza:🧵
1. The Gazans know they leaders failed. 2. How Israel has infiltrated the Hams command. 3. Why the clans are critical to the present and future. 4. How you can defeat ideas, actually. (1/5)
1. The people of Gaza fully understand that their Jihadi leaders have lost the war, and that their suffering continues only because they—and their children—are the final weapons in the arsenal.
This realization is crucial, as it is essential for both sides that the Gazan population—brainwashed into Jihad over decades—can never again be manipulated into believing that self-destructive attacks on their neighbors might somehow bring them joy. (2/5)
2. If hundreds are willing to protest publicly—despite the known predilection of their tormentors to execute all dissenters—we can be sure that thousands have betrayed they privately to the IDF. This would explain the sudden uptick in Israel's ability to pinpoint enemy leadership in the Strip. (3/5)
Ehud Olmert has revealed publicly for the first time the map of the peace offer that Mahmoud Abbas rejected in 2008 (the picture on the right is Abbas' sketch of it.
Abbas rejected this ridiculously generous offer and now there will never be a Palestinian state in any borders.
The best hope for the Arabs of the southern Levant is something modeled on the UAE, but demilitarized. Perhaps the "United Sheikhdoms of Palestine."
Each of the major cities (Gaza, Khan Yunis, Hebron, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Kalkilya, Nablus, Tulkarem, Jenin, Jericho), along with their hinterland villages, will decide how to run their own lives, and can federate to whatever extend they chose.
But the Israeli public is not going to be ready for anything more than that for a very very long time, and they have a veto.
I like how the comments are split between those accusing Olmert of being a foreign agent and those accusing Abbas of being a Mossad agent.
These are the 24 hostages still held in Gaza who will not be among the four released on Thursday. The remains of 34 others, who have been declared dead by the IDF, are also being held.🧵
