A 🧵 On Ben Shapiro, A Voice Of Reason And Common Sense When Both Are Needed More Than Ever

For years, the conservative movement has had one standout figure known for his relentless ability to debate, shut down arguments, and shape conversations. He became widely recognized for the phrase he popularized, “Facts don’t care about your feelings.” That person is, of course, Ben Shapiro.

Now, in a time when there is a deep divide on the right, it is only fitting that we remind ourselves of the story of this great man and his achievements.

It will no doubt infuriate some, but… well… facts don’t care about your feelings. 1. Ben Shapiro was born in 1984 in Los Angeles, California.

He showed strong academic abilities early on and ended up skipping both third grade and ninth grade.

He went on to attend UCLA, where he earned a degree in political science, and later completed his studies at Harvard Law School.

While he was still a college student, he started writing political commentary and sent his work to major publications.

By the time he was seventeen, he had already become a nationally syndicated columnist, making him one of the youngest people in the country to earn that distinction.

The Reality of Women’s Freedoms in Most of the Middle East - Selfies at Private Beach Clubs Don’t Quite Cut It 🧵

In recent days a trend has emerged where people who cannot stand the idea of Israel’s unique secular freedoms post selfies from private beach clubs or isolated luxury resorts elsewhere in the Middle East, trying to suggest it is somehow the same.

That could not be further from the truth. Across much of the Muslim majority Middle East, millions of women still live under laws and customs that dictate how they dress, where they go, and even what they can study.

Here is a closer look at what women’s freedom really means in some of these countries 🧵: 1. Qatar

• Under Qatar’s male guardianship system, women often need permission to marry, travel, or access certain jobs.

• Human Rights Watch notes that domestic abuse laws are weak and rarely enforced.

• Women are expected to dress “modestly,” covering shoulders, cleavage, and knees in all public spaces.

• Revealing clothing is banned, and violations can result in fines or expulsion for foreigners.

• Despite modern architecture and luxury tourism, women’s freedoms remain tightly restricted by law and culture.

Marco Rubio: A Common-Sense Political Leader, Named Greatest Secretary of State by Trump, and a Potential Future President 🧵 1. Marco Rubio is one of the most recognisable figures in American politics today. Since becoming Secretary of State, he has shown little patience for politically correct talking points, handling his duties with a level-headedness long missing from American and global politics. Above all, he champions a common-sense approach.

This is Faraj Al-Shamie, father of Jihad Al-Shamie, who carried out a terrorist attack and murdered two Jewish people at a synagogue in Manchester.

Although his Facebook profile describes him as a “digital creator,” Faraj Al-Shamie appears to be a doctor by profession.

Considering that he named his son “Jihad,” and given his son’s actions, it is perhaps not surprising to learn that Faraj Al-Shamie also celebrated the events of October 7th, as shown in the screenshots of his posts attached in the replies below 🧵

Is this someone who should be entrusted with the care of Jewish patients as a doctor? Or, in fact, with the care of anyone who openly supports the Jewish people and their communities?

In addition to that, how did this family go under the radar of our intelligence services in the UK? It's the politically correct, deranged liberalism of this country that has led to this.. 1. His statement on the events of October 7th:

Reports have surfaced of Gaza being stocked with iPhone 17s, which is ironic for many reasons including the fact that Gaza is meant to be "worse than the Holocaust"

Anyway here’s a little secret that might make Gazans and their "Anti-Zionist" supporters very, very uncomfortable... Much of the tech and innovation inside Apple products comes from Israel.

Apple is known for incredible design and software, but a significant portion of the behind the scenes tech is powered by Israeli innovation.

Here’s how it drives iPhones, Macs, and more 🧵: 1. Apple’s Herzliya R&D center, located in Israel’s “Silicon Wadi,” is one of its largest research facilities outside the United States, employing over 2,000 engineers and researchers.

Established in 2011, it has grown into a critical hub for developing cutting-edge technologies.

The center specializes in wireless connectivity, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 5G modem development, ensuring seamless communication for iPhones and iPads.

Additionally, teams in Herzliya focus on power management systems, optimising battery life across Apple’s ecosystem, and contribute to the design of custom chip architectures that power devices like the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

When Integrity Defies Groupthink: Some familiar faces who stood their ground in the midst of woke hysteria 🧵

In an age where public figures in film, music, comedy and literature almost instinctively bend the knee to collective groupthink, it is important to recognise the rare few who refuse to play along. Most celebrities dutifully parrot the slogans of political correctness, cancel culture and what now passes under the banner of “woke” ideology.

Just days ago, more than 1,200 actors proudly signed a pledge declaring they will boycott Israeli film institutions. It is yet another tired display of herd mentality, where careers are built on conformity rather than courage.

But in this thread I want to draw attention to the exceptions, the individuals who chose principle over popularity, who stood their ground instead of bowing to the mob. They are proof that integrity still exists, even in an industry addicted to virtue signalling. 🧵: 1. J.K. Rowling

Few examples of standing against the tide are as high-profile as JK Rowling. When she expressed her views on biological sex and the importance of protecting women’s spaces, the backlash was immediate and fierce.

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint publicly distanced themselves, yet Tom Felton remained supportive, praising her respectfully.

Rowling faced death threats, calls for boycotts, and widespread vilification, but she refused to stay silent. She published essays defending her position and even pursued defamation cases in court.

Her career and empire continue to thrive, proving that conviction can outlast public outrage.

Here is just one of many examples of @jk_rowling showing that she will not cower in silence or respond robotically to difficult questions. Instead, she speaks her mind clearly and unflinchingly, saying exactly what she believes, regardless of the backlash:

Here Are Some Uncomfortable Truths About How Society Thinks in Blind Conformity 🧵:

1/ The situation with Iryna Zarutska, and the fact that what happened to her is not causing the same level of mass outrage as what happened with George Floyd, is a clear demonstration of how strongly the media and certain movements shape narratives and actively program society through groupthink.

The exact same thing happened with the BLM movement and George Floyd. The reaction was a result of carefully curated media coverage and amplified narratives, which drove people to respond in unison, not because the incident itself was unique, in fact, it wasn't, but because it was positioned in a way that demanded collective outrage.

Mainstream coverage of the attack on Iryna, near non existent by comparison to other events: 2/ If fewer of the 'right people' speak up then stories like this quickly become buried. On the contrary, if mass outrage is rallied by influencers, media personalities, or activist groups, the story is amplified endlessly, plastered across headlines, and turned into a global cause.

Roger Waters, Mocking Ozzy Osbourne and Facing Long-Standing Antisemitism Accusations🧵

1/ Roger Waters, formerly of Pink Floyd, has once again made headlines. In a recent interview, he openly mocked Ozzy Osbourne, who recently passed away, while also admitting that he does not care for Ozzy’s band Black Sabbath or the contributions they made to music over the years.

Jack Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourne’s son, publicly responded to those comments and rightfully so. For years, Waters has shown complete disregard for his fellow musicians in the music industry as well as his own fans. His arrogance, bitterness, and alleged antisemitism have had such a profound impact that some people have openly admitted they will refuse to listen to his work with Pink Floyd ever again.
2/ Here, Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife, offers her thoughts on Waters. Sharon, having made a name for herself in the music industry, most notably as Ozzy’s manager, has great insight into what was happening behind the scenes over the years in regards to things Roger Waters has allegedly said and done.

🧵The Truth Behind 'Palestinian Journalists' and Al Jazeera

Today, September 1st, 2025, the terrorist-apologist media outlet Zeteo is "going dark," along with many other media outlets, in an attempt to further push the narrative that Israel is indiscriminately killing innocent journalists.

Anyone with a fully developed prefrontal cortex understands the truth behind this and why the entire "killing journalists" narrative is completely and utterly nonsensical.

Many of the so-called "journalists" have been exposed as operatives for Hamas and other terror groups.

Here’s a look at some verified instances, along with a closer examination of the big pink elephant in the room: Al-Jazeera. 1. Anas al-Sharif, an Al Jazeera correspondent in Gaza. Documents captured by the IDF in Gaza prove he was a Hamas military operative, listed in their terrorist rosters.

He was killed in an airstrike targeting a Hamas cell, where Israel identified him as the head of such a unit.

Addressing the "Of the Synagogue of Satan!!!" Trope

You’ve probably seen this making the rounds a lot recently, especially from none other than Candace Owens. It seems to be her favorite way of smearing every Israeli and Jew at the moment. So here I want to address this ridiculous claim directly and hopefully make clear why it is so deeply flawed.

The claim comes from a misreading of Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 in the New Testament, where Jesus supposedly refers to certain Jews as belonging to “the synagogue of Satan.” Antisemites twist this into an attack on all Jews, including Israelis, as if they are inherently deceitful or evil. That argument falls apart for several reasons 🧵: 1. Historical Context:

These verses were written in letters to Christian communities in Asia Minor around 95 CE. They were aimed at a particular group of Jews who opposed the early church.

They were not blanket condemnations of all Jews.

Scholars, including contributors to the Jewish Annotated New Testament, explain the phrase as a rhetorical dig at local rivals, not a universal judgment.

Applying it to 15 million Jews today or 7 million Israelis is a wilful distortion that ignores two millennia of history.

Qatar’s Shadow Over London 🧵

Qatar, mainly through its sovereign wealth fund QIA and Qatari Diar, has become one of London’s biggest foreign property owners, controlling around 24 million square feet.

While this investment has boosted development, Qatar’s grip on major landmarks, financial hubs, and housing raises concerns about foreign influence over the city’s economy, identity, and future planning.

Given Qatar’s geopolitical complexities, including allegations of funding terror groups and hosting terror leaders, its vast control in London is even more troubling.

This thread will list key assets they own 🧵: 1. Harrods - Luxury Department Store

Fully acquired by the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) in 2010 for £1.5 billion from Mohammed Al Fayed. The QIA, managing Qatar’s sovereign wealth, retains 100% control, making it a flagship retail investment in Knightsbridge.

The Caveat of Holocaust Denial 🧵

In this final thread in the series on Holocaust denial this week, I want to focus on the perpetrators themselves.

Virtually no Nazi perpetrators on trial denied the systematic murder of Jews and many others, though most claimed they were “just following orders.”

Holocaust deniers often argue that these confessions were made under duress or that the accused were forced to admit to crimes that never happened. However, this argument runs into a simple problem. The perpetrators’ accounts corroborated one another, even when they were tried in different countries and on different continents.

Furthermore, the Nazis were meticulous record-keepers, documenting their crimes in ways that make denial impossible.

Here are some figures who confessed, along with their statements and the undeniable documentary evidence that confirms the horrors of the Holocaust. 🧵: 1. Rudolf Höss, Auschwitz Commandant

Rudolf Höss, commandant of Auschwitz, provided detailed testimony about the camp’s operations during the Nuremberg Trials.

“Don’t you see, we SS men were not supposed to think about these things; it never even occurred to us... We were all so trained to obey orders without even thinking that the thought of disobeying an order would simply never have occurred to anybody.”

Höss admitted to overseeing the deaths of approximately 2.5 million people, mostly Jews, through gassing and other means. His memoir, written before his execution in 1947, described the efficiency of the gas chambers and his role in implementing the “Final Solution.” He claimed he was following orders but expressed no remorse during his trial.

"The Abundance-Induced Overconfidence Phenomenon" 🧵

Have i just coined a term?

For a long time now I have been trying to find the right wording to accurately describe the fact that we are living in an era where the abundance of information we have access to is often misused by those who simply do not possess the intellectual capacity to process it appropriately.

I believe that "The Abundance-Induced Overconfidence Phenomenon" captures this very well.

This is why Holocaust denial is on the rise. It is why even some very prominent figures are asking, "Was Hitler really that bad?" and it is applicable to a whole host of other subjects that are entirely unrelated.

Here is a breakdown of what I think this phenomenon encompasses 🧵: 1. Information overconfidence

This occurs when individuals gain access to a vast quantity of data, for example through the internet or social media, and assume that the sheer volume of information equates to understanding.

They may skim articles, videos or online discussions and feel empowered to draw conclusions well beyond their actual expertise.

The risk is that they mistake availability for accuracy, and their confidence grows even as their comprehension remains superficial. In extreme cases, this can lead to the adoption of radical or unfounded beliefs simply because they consider themselves well-informed.

The Smell of Death – A haunting fact Holocaust deniers cannot warp into falsehood 🧵

This is my second post this week on the subject of Holocaust denial. You can find the first one in the “highlights” section of my profile. It addresses some of the most common tropes pushed by Holocaust deniers.

In this thread, I want to touch on something very specific that stood out to me from conversations with family members, some of whom witnessed and experienced the horrors of the Holocaust firsthand, and then expand on this subject a little further.
1. It was my grandmother who was a Holocaust survivor, a subject that deserves a thread of its own, so I won’t be expanding on it much here.

After the war, when she was rescued by American forces, she eventually married and had children. She made a conscious effort to ensure her children were well informed about what she and so many others had endured. She even took them to visit Auschwitz at a very young age, multiple times.

The experience had a profound effect on her children, one of whom, of course, is my parent. But one thing stood out above all else, and that's the smell they encountered when walking through Auschwitz. Keep in mind this was the late 1960s and early 1970s, nearly two decades after the war had ended, and yet the smell was still overwhelming.

It was the smell of death... burnt flesh, decay, the remnants of mass murder, a reminder that the atrocities committed there could never be erased.

The following images are very disturbing, but necessary to illustrate the point and explain why such a smell was present at Auschwitz.. This is why:

The Reawakened Cancer of Society: Holocaust Denial and the Tropes Deniers Push 🧵

This will be part of a series of threads that I will be putting together about the Holocaust, the existence of which has in recent years become increasingly popular to deny.

If you are genuinely well educated about the subject and have had the opportunity to visit some of the concentration camps where people were murdered in the most horrific ways, you will know that this mindset of denial is utterly abhorrent and reeks of ignorance of the worst kind. Sadly, as some studies have shown, people are in fact becoming less intelligent (for example Bratsberg and Rogeberg, 2018), and this regression in intelligence runs parallel with the rise of Holocaust denial.

There are many tropes pushed by Holocaust deniers. In this thread I will touch upon a handful which I believe are among the most important to debunk. 🧵:

**NOTE: Spam this thread with pro-Nazi, Holocaust denying bull dung and your comment will be hidden and you will be blocked** 1. "6 Million People Didn't Die in Holocaust"

One of the most common tropes you will hear is, ironically, somewhat accurate, but not in the way Holocaust deniers expect. Why? Because the true number of victims was likely much higher.

Total estimates for all victims range from 9 to 11 million, with some sources suggesting up to 17 million when including broader categories such as civilian deaths from Nazi persecution.

Sources citing these higher estimates include Yad Vashem, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.

Greta’s Hypocrisy-Ridden Flotilla: A Gargantuan Waste of Time and Resources 🧵

Greta Thunberg and the Freedom Flotilla Coalition are planning a large-scale flotilla departing August 31, 2025, from Spain. Additional boats will join from Tunisia and other ports on September 4.

The "Global Sumud Flotilla" involves activists from 44 countries, dozens of boats, and hundreds of participants. Their stated goal is to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and challenge Israel’s naval blockade.

Israel’s blockade is maintained to protect its citizens from security threats. This makes the flotilla’s stated purpose highly controversial, as it directly confronts a policy that Israel considers vital for its national security.

With a little help from Grok AI, below is a logistical analysis and an assessment of why this effort is viewed as a waste of time and resources. 🧵: Logistical Overview

Resources and Scale:

Vessels: The flotilla comprises dozens of boats, potentially including vessels like the Madleen and Handala from prior missions. Chartering or purchasing such boats costs approximately $10,000 to $50,000 each, with fuel and maintenance for a 7-day journey (e.g., Catania to Gaza, ~1,200 nautical miles) estimated at $5,000 to $15,000 per vessel.

Aid Cargo: Previous flotillas carried limited aid, equivalent to less than a single truckload. Assuming 50 boats, each carrying 1 ton of aid (e.g., food, medical supplies), the total would be approximately 50 tons. This is a fraction of Gaza’s daily requirement of 500–1,000 trucks (each carrying 20–40 tons). The cost of aid, at $1,000 to $5,000 per ton, totals $50,000 to $250,000.

Participants: The mission involves hundreds of activists. Travel, accommodations, and provisions for 500 participants (assuming 10 per boat) are estimated at $1,000 to $2,000 per person, totaling $500,000 to $1,000,000.

Total Estimated Cost: Approximately $600,000 to $1,300,000, covering vessels, fuel, aid, and participant logistics, excluding donated resources or volunteer efforts.

A Simple Question.. 🧵

If not all Muslims are extremists and not all Muslims support terrorists like Hamas, and if they believe Israel is committing genocide and that Hamas are “freedom fighters,” then why has the name Yahya surged in popularity in the UK? 1. This is the same man who said the following when asked a question:

A Wake-Up Call for Anti-Zionist Christians: Christianity in the Middle East🧵

Christianity was born in the Middle East, but over the last century, the region’s Christian population has dropped from about 20 percent to just 4 percent.

Today, amidst the current war in Gaza, a trend of anti-Zionist Christians has emerged. It is quite possibly one of the most out of touch stances Christians can take, as it is simply a rejection of Jewish history, which in turn indirectly erases the history and validity of the Christian religion.

In this thread, let's take a closer look at how accepting Middle Eastern countries are of Christians. In turn, this will provide much-needed insight into what would likely happen if the anti-Zionist notion came to fruition. 1. Egypt: Around 10 million Coptic Christians, about 10 percent of Egypt’s population, face persistent persecution.

After the seventh-century Arab invasions shifted Egypt to a Muslim majority, modern-day attacks on churches, kidnappings, and discrimination in jobs and education have continued.

The rise of groups like the Muslim Brotherhood has often made the situation worse, increasing pressure on Christians and pushing many to emigrate.

Trump’s UK Triumph: Everything You Need to Know and How He Schooled Starmer on His Own Turf 🧵 1. President Donald Trump’s visit to Scotland on July 25, 2025, once again showed just how commanding his presence can truly be.

Unlike any other diplomatic visit, it wasn’t the leader of the host country who welcomed the President. No, it was the President of the visiting nation who received the UK Prime Minister as a guest on his own soil, at his Turnberry estate.

From Starvation Claims to Genocide Accusations: How the West’s Collective Conscience is Driven by Selective Outrage and Groupthink, Not Facts🧵

It’s clear the West has completely lost the ability to think critically when it comes to the situation in Gaza.

Talk of genocide and deliberate starvation is repeated on loop, not because it has been definitively proven, but because it fits a story people want to believe. It fits a narrative where many feel they are part of something bigger than themselves, something that perhaps fills a void in their empty lives. Harsh? Maybe. But nonetheless true.

Facts don’t matter. Nuance is gone. If you question the narrative, you’re labeled a Nazi or fascist, which is ironic given the history of the Middle East, about which most people seem ignorant.

This thread aims to show how easily emotions can overpower facts when people stop questioning the story they want to believe.

**(note: A less traditional approach, as I’ve decided to break it down into a few chapters rather than using a standard numerical order.)**

🧵: Starvation Claims and Selective Outrage

One of the most disturbing truths about the Israeli Gaza conflict is how easily the media swallows and repeats information from the Gaza Ministry of Health, a Hamas run organisation. This information is rarely questioned and often taken at face value.

“Genocide,” “a thousand dead,” “starvation.” These claims are rarely questioned. Ironically, when it comes to starvation, the Gaza Ministry of Health’s own statistics reveal something that no major news outlet has addressed.

▶️According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, there have been 115 deaths from malnutrition since 7 October 2023, up to 25 July 2025.

By comparison..

▶️Ethiopia recorded 74,583 malnutrition-related deaths in 2025 alone.

▶️Angola estimates between 33,000 and 35,000 malnutrition-related deaths in 2025 alone.

These figures highlight a significant disparity and raise questions about the scale of the crisis as it is frequently presented. Perhaps if the mainstream media provided more context, the collective groupthink of the masses would not be so easily manipulated.

Inside Corbyn’s Record on Antisemitism: Decades of Denial and Division 🧵

Jeremy Corbyn’s career is a decades-long saga of controversy, during which he has been regularly accused of abhorrent antisemitism. He, of course, denies these allegations.

Here is a look at his career as a politician and what has led to the development of these opinions. 🧵: 1. Corbyn began his political journey in the 1970s as a socialist firebrand in London’s Labour scene.

He was elected to Haringey Council in 1974, and quickly immersed himself in activism, supporting groups like Anti-Fascist Action, the Anti-Apartheid Movement, and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

However, his strong support for a united Ireland is what drew a lot of criticism, particularly due to his associations with the IRA.
