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 hereās 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.
Hereās how it drives iPhones, Macs, and more š§µ:1. Appleās Herzliya R&D center, located in Israelās āSilicon Wadi,ā 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 Appleās 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 š§µ
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 āwokeā 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. š§µ:
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 womenās 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 š§µ:
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 Accusationsš§µ
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 Ozzyās band Black Sabbath or the contributions they made to music over the years.
Jack Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourneās 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, Ozzyās wife, offers her thoughts on Waters. Sharon, having made a name for herself in the music industry, most notably as Ozzyās 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.

š§µThe 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.
Hereās 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
Youāve 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 āthe synagogue of Satan.ā 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 š§µ: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.

Qatarās Shadow Over London š§µ
Qatar, mainly through its sovereign wealth fund QIA and Qatari Diar, has become one of Londonās biggest foreign property owners, controlling around 24 million square feet.
While this investment has boosted development, Qatarās grip on major landmarks, financial hubs, and housing raises concerns about foreign influence over the cityās economy, identity, and future planning.
Given Qatarās 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 š§µ:1. Harrods - Luxury Department Store
Fully acquired by the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) in 2010 for Ā£1.5 billion from Mohammed Al Fayed. The QIA, managing Qatarās sovereign wealth, retains 100% control, making it a flagship retail investment in Knightsbridge.

The Caveat of Holocaust Denial š§µ
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 ājust following orders.ā
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 perpetratorsā 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. š§µ:1. Rudolf Hƶss, Auschwitz Commandant
Rudolf Hƶss, commandant of Auschwitz, provided detailed testimony about the campās operations during the Nuremberg Trials.
āDonāt 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.ā
Hƶss 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 āFinal Solution.ā He claimed he was following orders but expressed no remorse during his trial.

"The Abundance-Induced Overconfidence Phenomenon" š§µ
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 š§µ: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 ā A haunting fact Holocaust deniers cannot warp into falsehood š§µ
This is my second post this week on the subject of Holocaust denial. You can find the first one in the āhighlightsā 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 wonāt 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 š§µ
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. š§µ:
**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.

Gretaās Hypocrisy-Ridden Flotilla: A Gargantuan Waste of Time and Resources š§µ
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 Israelās naval blockade.
Israelās blockade is maintained to protect its citizens from security threats. This makes the flotillaās 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. š§µ:
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 Gazaās daily requirement of 500ā1,000 trucks (each carrying 20ā40 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 Wake-Up Call for Anti-Zionist Christians: Christianity in the Middle Eastš§µ
Christianity was born in the Middle East, but over the last century, the regionās 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 Egyptās 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.

From Starvation Claims to Genocide Accusations: How the Westās Collective Conscience is Driven by Selective Outrage and Groupthink, Not Factsš§µ
Itās 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 donāt matter. Nuance is gone. If you question the narrative, youāre 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 Iāve decided to break it down into a few chapters rather than using a standard numerical order.)**
š§µ:
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.
āGenocide,ā āa thousand dead,ā āstarvation.ā These claims are rarely questioned. Ironically, when it comes to starvation, the Gaza Ministry of Healthās own statistics reveal something that no major news outlet has addressed.
ā¶ļøAccording to the Gaza Ministry of Health, there have been 115 deaths from malnutrition since 7 October 2023, up to 25 July 2025.
By comparison..
ā¶ļøEthiopia recorded 74,583 malnutrition-related deaths in 2025 alone.
ā¶ļøAngola 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 Corbynās Record on Antisemitism: Decades of Denial and Division š§µ
Jeremy Corbynās 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. š§µ:1. Corbyn began his political journey in the 1970s as a socialist firebrand in Londonās 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.

The Lengths to Which the Far Left Will Go in Order to Distort or Entirely Dismiss Reality š§µ
Itās increasingly clear that many on the left hold such extreme views that they feel justified in lying to promote a version of reality that simply doesnāt exist.
You see it everywhere, from gender ideology to the IsraelāGaza conflict. Facts are far too inconvenient, so they gaslight anyone who dares to question their narrative.
Even worse, their actions are dangerous. By sympathising with perpetrators of horrific crimes in the name of virtue signalling, diversity, and avoiding the label of racism, they put innocent lives at risk.
It's completely delusional. In most cases, it borders on mental illness. Here are just a few examples š§µ:
1. A leftist activist who was less than honest about the identity of the men who sexually assaulted her. She later admitted that she lied because she didnāt want to fuel racial tensions. Never mind that her lies could have put the lives of other young women at risk and might have allowed the perpetrators to go unpunished.
What They Donāt Tell You About Dubai ā The āPorta Pottyā Scandal š§µ
Most people see Dubai as a glamorous place filled with wealth, supercars, and skyscrapers like the Burj Khalifa.
However, behind all the hype and pretentious Instagram photos of people looking away from the camera, staring into the distance from an infinity pool with some predictably lame caption about āchasing dreams,ā lies a reality thatās rarely discussed.
So, if youāve ever heard the term āporta potty,ā you might already have an idea of where this is going.1. A few years ago, stories began circulating about wealthy Middle Eastern men offering absurd amounts of money to Instagram models and influencers for āprivate trips.ā At first, it sounded like just another form of luxury escort work, but that changed once people saw the conditions attached.

John Paul II - The Only Pope of the Last 100 Years That Truly Matteredš§µ1. Born on May 18, 1920, in Wadowice, Poland. Karol Jozef Wojtyla grew up in a very devout Catholic family. When he was just 8 years old, his mother passed away, and when aged just 12, his brother Edmund, a physician, also passed.
Karol was then primarily raised by his father, Karol WojtyÅa Sr. a former army officer and a deeply religious man who instilled in his son a strong sense of discipline and moral integrity. Karol shared a very strong bond with his father, which left a lasting impression on him and would shape the man he would become.
As he entered young adulthood, Karol enrolled at Jagiellonian University in Kraków in 1938, where he studied philosophy and literature. However, his studies were cut short by the outbreak of World War II in 1939. Germany invaded Poland and the university was shut down by the Nazis. Karol was forced to work in a quarry and later in a chemical factory to avoid deportation and in order to be able to support himself.
Karol WojtyÅa pictured with his mother, at his First Holy Communion, and as a young man:

The Often Omitted Fact of Nazis Who Fled to the Middle East, Part III: MODERN DAY INFLUENCE š§µ
In previous threads, Iāve explored the history of Nazis who fled to the Middle East after the Second World War. I discussed the influence they had on Arab Muslim governments and societies, and how that legacy continues to shape modern-day terrorism.
In this thread, the third instalment in the series (though there are several, additional related threads), my goal is simple:
To present clear and compelling evidence of the profound impact Nazi ideology had on parts of the Middle East. This includes the spread of extremist beliefs and the troubling hypocrisy of those who try to label Israel as the ānew Nazis.ā š§µ:
