EUROVISION 2025
Yuval Raphael is 24 years old, born in Pedaya, Israel and spent three years in Geneva, Switzerland as a child. She only began singing professionally in 2023 and has one of the most powerful and beautiful voices I’ve heard.

On October 7th she was at the Nova festival and took shelter in a bomb shelter near Kibbutz Beeri. For 8 hours she and 50 others were subject to shooting and grenades being hurled at them by Hamas.
Only 11 people survived out of the 50 who sheltered there.
Yuval is a young woman with strength and resilience and she needs our support and love during what I am sadly sure will be a hate fest in Europe. Europe has allowed itself to become what we promised we never would again.

I stand with Yuval.
Her voice is beautiful and she deserves to sing as much as anyone else.

Here is her story

The first video ends before she describes the conditions inside the bomb shelter to give you the decision to listen to the more upsetting content.

TREBLINKA THREAD 🧵 2

ARCHAEOLOGICAL & FORENSIC RESEARCH 🔬

Since Holocaust deniers are adamant that the Holocaust either didn’t happen or was a minimally murderous event it is vital that all of the evidence is collated and archaeological evidence is presented.

Complicating the excavations is the fact that in Judaism the intentional disturbing of the dead is prohibited new approaches have been developed to understand the death camps.

The most current scientific studies are being carried out by the Warsaw University of Technology and aim to confirm the location of the ‘New Gas Chambers’ and to analyse the road that connected Treblinka I and Treblinka II. The findings from the Warsaw University of Technology will be discussed below.

Since 2007 Treblinka has been subject to a programme of archaeological research. The video below features forensic archaeologist Dr Caroline Sturdy Colls who has done extensive studies at the Treblinka site. This video introduces us to the techniques she uses which respect Jewish law while gathering evidence and information on the site.

A wide range of interdisciplinary techniques have been applied to the site in order to understand the nature of this camp while observing religious and ethical considerations.

The techniques applied to Treblinka:

📍Archival research
📍Survivor Testimony
📍Witness testimony
📍Aerial photographic analysis
📍 Airborne remote sensing
📍Airborne LiDAR Survey
📍 Differential GPS surveys
📍 Ground Penetrating Radar
📍Resistance Surveys (Measurement of resistance to an electrical current: used to locate mass graves)
📍 Walkover surveys
📍 Topographic surveys
📍Geophysical investigation
📍Targeted excavation

📍ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES AND METHODS AT TREBLINKA 📒

📍Below is a link to a research paper by the incomparable Caroline Sturdy Colls who is the lead forensic archaeologist working at the Treblinka site.

📍The video below discusses the Treblinka I site which was the nearby quarry labour camp in which enemies of the Reich were sent. Some 10,000 people were known to have been killed at this site.
eprints.staffs.ac.uk/6032/1/Sturdy%…

Additionally recent research published in Nature by Joanna Drath et al presents the findings from skeletal analysis of victims of Treblinka I discovered in Mass graves at the site.

“In 2019, archaeologists uncovered a clandestine mass burial pit that contained commingled human skeleton remains at the Execution Site of the former Treblinka I camp. It was estimated that there were a minimum of forty-nine people in the pit. Within months, an
anthropologist performed biological profile assessments and detailed trauma analysis on the recovered skeletal parts. The main goal was to study perimortem trauma patterns to infer the cause and manner of death of the victims.”

Results from the anthropological investigation and forensic examination were compared with victim testimonies from Treblinka I and it was concluded that the deaths of the skeletons in the mass grave at the labour camp were the result of traumatic injury and not from condition as at the camp.

“This skeletal material represents the hard evidence of atrocities committed by Treblinka camp guards on their prisoners. This is the first time since the first half of the twentieth century that victims' remains have been physically examined. The non-invasive methods applied by scientists from 2007 contributed greatly to the knowledge of the spatial organization of the camp's structure, as well as the possible location of some of the mass graves, but they cannot fully replace the standard archaeological excavation. Thanks to the trauma analysis results, we may infer that the victims were brutally beaten around the time of death.
Many of them opposed the attack (as suggested by parry fractures and metacarpals fractures), which can indicate they knew what was going to happen to them. Some of the victims were likely killed by forcibly having their heads placed on a wooden block or a stone and hitting them with a tool such as a mallet. Others were hit on the top of their heads with a bat or a plank or a similar object. Some were shot in the back of their head and others were cut through the brain stem or beheaded. Interestingly, all of the noticed perimortem trauma lesions were later verified by survi-vors' testimonies and were proven consistent.
The variety in the manner of death we observed can suggest that there were multiple assailants during the killing, and possibly the murders took place in various locations. The material that we examined was exhumed from only one of many clandestine mass burial pits on the Execution Site of the Treblinka camp. The archaeological survey shows there are several more graves nearby our exhumed pit.
Our research shows that hard physical labor, poor sanitary conditions, overcrowding, poor nutrition rates, and epidemics were not the only reasons for the early demise of hundreds of thousands of people imprisoned by the Nazis during the Second World War in Treblinka. Many of the captives were brutally murdered by their guards, and those crimes deserve to be pro-secuted to bring justice to the victims and their families.”

TREBLINKA THREAD 🧵 1
This is the first in a series of threads about Treblinka.

Treblinka requires special consideration because of the number of Jewish men, women and children who took their final breaths in that place.

The Treblinka killing center opened in July 1942 and was dismantled in September 1943. An estimated 800,000 to 925,000 Jews, as well as an unknown number of Poles, Roma, and Soviet POWs, were murdered there using carbon monoxide from a Red Army tank engine.

The engine was brought in by the SS at the time of the camp's construction and housed in a room with a generator that supplied the camp with electricity. The tank engine exhaust pipe ran just below the ground and opened into all three gas chambers.

The evidence is voluminous and complex, that’s why the examination of the primary source evidence and the forensic archaeological evidence from the last few decades will have to be analysed in more than one thread.

Where people would deny the Holocaust it is the duty of the rest of us to furnish them with proof, and absolute proof exists.

📌What do I mean by absolute?

Well in the following threads you will see official Nazi documents, testimony from perpetrators, victim testimony, videos with local peasant farmers who witnessed the events from their land, archaeological findings and photographs and testimony from Polish grave robbers who in the years after the war went to the site and were met with fields of human bones during their search for valuables.

Holocaust denial is a sickness that feeds off ignorance and hate.
The greatest defence will always be truth and love.

This thread is dedicated to the memory of the men, women and children who were murdered there in 1942/43 be they the majority of Jewish victims, Sinti, Roma, Christian, Pole, Russian, Ukrainian or other

I will treat their memory with the same respect in this thread as i would if they were my own families. Below are images from the Treblinka Book of names.


PRIMARY SOURCE HISTORY 🧵

📎ABOUT TREBLINKA

📍Treblinka was designed as a Nazi extermination camp (Vernichtungslager) in occupied Poland during World War II.

📍The camp, constructed as part of Operation Reinhard, operated between July 1942 and October 1943.

📍There were six extermination centers, all of them in Poland, including Treblinka.

📍The other extermination camps were at Belzec, Sobibor, Chelmno, Majdanekand Auschwitz-Birkenau, all in Russian-liberated Poland.

📍Treblinka is near the Bug River, which, during World War II, formed the border between the Nazi-occupied General Government of Poland and the zone occupied by the Russians from September 1939 until the German invasion of Russia in June 1941.

📍In the spring of 1942, SS-Hauptsturmbannführer Herman Höfle sent a team of former participants in T4 action to find a suitable place to build extermination camps. All three: Bełżec, Sobibór and Treblinka were located along the Bug River, in forest complexes on the eastern border of the General Government. Such a location made it possible to mask the crime committed, and the people brought here had the impression that they had indeed found themselves in a transit camp and, after disinfection, they would go further east – to work.

📍The grounds where the extermination camps were established were sparsely populated and located relatively close to Lublin, where the headquarters of Operation Reinhard was located.

📍Treblinka was situated at the junction of the districts of Warsaw, Lublin and the Białystok District, with good railway connections with Warsaw, Białystok and Radom district.

📍There was already a railway siding leading to the gravel pit, and the whole area was patrolled by groups of guards from the penal labour camp, located only 2 km from the newly-built one

📍The Treblinka extermination camp was run by the SS, a Nazi paramilitary organization, with the help of Eastern European Trawnikis (Hiwis), who were collaborationist auxiliary police recruited directly from Soviet POW camps.

📍The camp consisted of two separate units: Treblinka I and the Treblinka II extermination camp (Vernichtungslager).

📍The first was a forced-labour camp (Arbeitslager) whose prisonersworked in the gravel pit or irrigation area and in the forest, where they cut wood to fuel the crematoria. Between 1941 and 1944, more than half of its 20,000 inmates died from summary executions, hunger, disease and mistreatment.

Evidence to fight Holocaust denial
BEŁŻEC 🧵

📍Out of the estimated 600,000 Jewish people deported to Bełzec only 2 survived.

📍This camp was second only to Auschwitz-Birkenau in numbers of people killed there and had the fewest survivors. A video about survivor Rudolph Reder is included in this first post in the thread.

There is a multitude of evidence to PROVE its existence and purpose though and I have collated this and provide important resources here. I don’t use AI and stand by my research. (If you would like links to the research please request as X doesn’t like us going off site)

BEŁŻEC - The 'Forgotten' Death Camp
On 12-25 October 1997 archaeological investigations were carried out at the site of the former Nazi extermination
camp in Belzec.

📍The document details the archaeological investigation conducted at the former camp of Bełżec. Bełżec was one of the first Nazi death camps built as part of "Operation Reinhardt" and an estimated 600,000 Jews were murdered at the site.

📍Archaeological investigations in 1997 and 1998 aimed to document the site. Surveying and soil sampling was conducted across 1,700 locations up to 6 meters deep.

📍Professor Gora inserted probes into the earth at numerous locations at the site and the results empirically prove that the site contained both buried and burned human bodies and showed the presence of layers of human fat in the soil samples.

📍Five mass graves were located, the largest measuring 36 metres x 18 metres and 6 metres deep.

📍Two of the graves contained unburned, naked human corpses beneath a layer of water at 3-4 metres below ground. At varying depths, burnt human ash, burnt wood, crushed pieces of human bone and skull bone with hair attached were found.

📍At the extremity of the drilling at one grave, several centimetres of burnt human fat (easily identified when mixed with yellow sand) were found.

📍Three of the graves contained a mixture of ash, carbonized wood and crushed bone.

📍One grave was so packed that the drill could not penetrate lower than 3 metres.


PRIMARY SOURCE HISTORY 📎

📍Bełżec Excavations
the results of the excavations at Belzec during 1997 and 1999, were contained in a publication by the group's leader Professor  Andrzej Kola, from the University of Torun, Poland. The publication was titled: 'Belzec - The Nazi Camp for Jews in the Light of Archaeological Sources - Excavations 1997-1999'. (Publisher: The Council for the Protection of Memory of Combat and Martyrdom ; United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Warsaw, Washington, 2000)

📍The  archaeological investigations carried out by Professor Kola and his team CONFIRMED OVERWHELMINGLY that mass murder was committed at Bełżec, and that there was an effort by the Nazis to conceal the enormity of the crime.

📍The excavations also helped to determine the locations of mass graves, and confirm the probable layout of the camp, during the first and second phases.

Humanitarian assistance by Israel a thread 🧵

Israel are giving aid and protection to the Druze of Syria while the rest of the world has covered their eyes and ears. Israel has helped in many of the biggest catastrophes and disasters in recent times.

Anyone who wants to Israel and the Jewish people’s belief that when you save one life you save the world, entire will be interested in this thread that highlights the expertise and energy that Israel puts into rescue and humanitarianism.

Today,
Hikmat al-Hijri, the spiritual leader of the Druze community in Syria said:

"There is no agreement or consent with the new extremist Syrian regime, and we will work for our interests as a sect.
We are in a phase of “to be or not to be” and we will move in the direction that suits the sect.”

10,000 aid packages have been delivered from Israel, and soon Druze workers will begin entering the Golan Heights for work.

Below is a list of some of the other humanitarian work Israel has done for the world in recent times: Assistance in Mozambique in 2019

The only known images of the process of killing during the Holocaust a thread 🧵 The photographs were smuggled out of the camp and given to Polish resistance fighters to show the world what was happening and to give testimony about the extermination.
 
A note, accompanying the photos, dated September 4, 1944 was signed “Stakło”, a pseudonym for Polish prisoner and leading member of the camp resistance, Stanisław Kłodziński.
 
The note read: Urgent…Sending you snaps from Birkenau – gas poisoning action. These photos show one of the stakes at which bodies were burned, when the crematoria could not manage to burn all the bodies. The bodies in the foreground are waiting to be thrown into the fire.

The Holocaust in History: TREBLINKA Countering revisionism with primary source material A thread of incontrovertible evidence from those who were perpetrators, witnesses and victims🧵

♦️Interview with Franz Suchomel (1907-1979)
Suchomel was a member of the SS Einsatzgruppen, he was involved with the T4 Aktion and then worked at Treblinka vernichtungslager.

In August 1942, Suchomel was transferred to the Treblinka extermination camp.
There he was responsible for handling incoming transports of Jewish victims as well as the confiscation and collection of valuables. He urged Jewish women on their way to the gas chambers disguised as showers:
"Dear ladies, quickly, quickly, quickly, the water is getting cold."

In the following videos he gives his testimony regarding his experiences in Treblinka

Treblinka was part of the Operation Reinhardt Death camps located in the East of Poland. The camp operated between 23 July 1942 and 19 October 1943 as part of Operation Reinhard, the deadliest phase of the Final Solution. During this time, it is estimated that between 700,000 and 900,000 Jews were murdered in its gas chambers making Treblinka the second biggest killer in the KZ system.

The trains with deportees destined for the death camp at Treblinka stopped at the Treblinka village station, some 4 km from the camp. The train, which was usually composed of close to sixty freight cars, was then divided into three sections, and each section was driven separately into the camp. Like in Belzec and Sobibor, from that point the train was driven by two German railway workers.
In Treblinka they were Rudolf Emmerich and Wili Klinzman.

The arrival of the first deportation transport from the Warsaw ghetto to Treblinka station was described by a Pole, Franciszek Zabecki:

“The first transport of "deportees" left Malkinia on July 23, 1942, in the morning hours. The train announced its approach not merely with a shriek of wheels as it crossed the Bug bridge, but with a volley of rifle and machine-gun fire from the security guards. The train entered the station. It was loaded with Jews from the Warsaw ghetto.... Four SS men from the new camp were waiting.
They had arrived earlier by car and asked us how far from Treblinka the "special train with deportees" was. They had already received word of the train's departure from Warsaw.... A smaller engine was already at the station, waiting to bring a section of the freight cars into the camp.
Everything was planned and prepared in advance. The train was made up of sixty closed cars, crowded with people.
These included the young and elderly, men and women, children and babies. The car doors were locked from the outside and the air apertures barred with barbed wire. On the car steps on both sides of the car and on the roof, a dozen or so SS soldiers stood or lay with machine guns at the ready. It was hot, and most of the people in the freight cars were in a faint.... As the train approached, an evil spirit seemed to take hold of the SS men who were waiting. They drew their pistols, returned them to their holsters, and whipped them out again, as if they wanted to shoot and kill.
They came near the freight cars and tried to calm the noise and weeping; then they started yelling and cursing the Jews, all the while calling to the train workers, "Tempo, fast!" Then they returned to the camp to receive the deportees.” (Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka: The Operation Reinhard Death Camps by Yitzhak Arad)

Some 20,000 Jewish arrivals were selected to work as ‘Sondercommando’ within the camp and were responsible for extracting bodies, burning bodies and managing the belongings of the murdered Jewish people. These bodies were exhumed in 1943 and cremated on large open-air pyres along with the bodies of new victims.

The Genesis of the British Fury

I have lived in the UK all of my life. I'm 42 now and there have been many changes. Some have been good and some have been for the worse. I want to reach people and ask they stop the violence. Protest is a right but wanton violence and aggression should have no part in it. It will change nothing.
The only thing you are doing by looting shoe warehouse and vape shops is disrupting peoples livelihood and making yourselves look like arses and most fundamentally you are giving carte blanche to the government to impose more draconian restrictions and to label anyone with genuine concerns as racist or far right.
The successive governments in this country are to blame, the uniparty policies of the neverending technocrats and bureaucrats. Men and women without a spine between them and not an ounce of integrity at all.
They have imposed the idea that people don't need to unite under a unified banner to live in peace within a nation.
That's because they are not nationalists but internationalists. To them the World is one giant nation where people should be able to move hither and thither. It is a place where they gain enormous wealth and luxury while using punishing economic strategies to manage the societies ever lower.
Unfortunately for those of us who took our first breath under British skies and our first step on British soil that isn't how we view this country. Our home.
When I visited other towns and cities as a child there was a common thread, a heritage and history, a culture an understanding. That may be insignificant to the internationalist but not to many of us. Our ancestors tilled the soil, paved the roads, built the infrastructure, worked in the pits an mills. They built this land generation after generation and passed on the legacy and the achievements for the next generation to build on. That isn't to suggest the work and history of those from the commonwealth who made their home here wasn't respected or valued. Over the years our histories became interwoven. The uniting banner of 'Britain' and our particular ways remained intact. With new peoples to uphold the legacy. Over the past two decades the rate of change has been incredible. Towns and cities, village and hamlet have been changed. Peoples without a history have arrived in tens of millions, with allegiances all over the globe and we now have many banners. The unity has been compromised. There is no one language, no one history. There is no one culture, indeed no one view of law or religion. We have no common thread to weave. With the great movements of peoples whole areas of people who identify with each other have come about, whole towns and villages have become a nation within a nation with their own customs and cultures and languages and religions. The descendants of the people who had built those areas having moved away to new regions without a link to their past.

With the application of identity politics a divide has been created from above. People are told that because of their skin colour or history that other people have always hated them and they should in turn view themselves as the victims of the other groups. Humas are a tribal species, this sort of narrative works well to create the in group and outgroup dynamic that benefits those who thrive on divisions. Mistrust and historical grievance have been taught to two generations of children who believe they are disenfranchised BECAUSE of the privileged group. They are angry. They have been taught to be angry. The issue is not individual people but ALWAYS Government initiatives.

At the same time there have been huge issues from the gangs in certain towns and cities that harmed young women, a rise in certain crimes. All of this could have been managed by the Government if they had identified and managed the issues according to standard procedure and well established laws. Instead government, media and local authorities obfuscated and concealed problems. Once they came to light the British were angry at both the crimes and the handling by successive governments. These issues were well within the capabilities and competence of the establishment and the mishandling was a CHOICE.
The media began labelling anyone who talked about the issues as far right and purges on social media of those who discussed issues started to happen. Any incident which involved certain groups was treated as a PR exercise instead of treating every citizen equally regardless of background the establishment decided to deepen the divides artificially.
Nobody could reasonably believe that every Muslim is a criminal or a radical but that is what the government put forward. We were told that we were suffering from a new malaise, that of Islamophobia. The real malaise was chronic mismanagement due to a patronising policing, political and judicial system. Each of these and the media treated some groups as being less responsible than others. They did this openly and consistently.
The British people became the enemy of the establishment. A notable example of the worldview came from MP Naz Shah who said that the victims of grooming gangs should remain silent for the good of diversity. This is not how an established legal system works. This is how you empower bad actors to do more bad things while punishing the victims of crime. If they had instead applied the law without bias then bad actors may have been deterred. What is the law but a system of deterrence via threat of punishment for crime?
With that threat removed, or at least diminished for certain groups there is less incentive to change.

🧵 ‼️The Fatwa F02301 against Hamas and it’s significance ‼️🧵

As you read please ask why the USA continues to support the Hamas group over the Islamic council that denounce Qatar and Hamas in this Fatwa. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Everything that we have seen since October was denounced last March by the IFC

On 9th March 2023 the Islamic Fatwa Council issued a Fatwa against Hamas.
The Fatwa was issued in The Islamic Seminary of The Holy City of Najaf, Iraq.

Since none of this research has been cited by the UN, USA, ICJ, ICC, EU or any media organisation I thought I’d do it. How sad that it’s a woman from rural Durham doing this and not a government or Media organisation.
Let’s look at some facts and a lot of research:

What is a Fatwa?
It’s a religious edict with instructions made my an Islamic cleric or leader. It is a formal legal ruling based on Islamic law that is meant to be binding on Islamic peoples and courts. They have the equivalence of the Supreme Court.

Who are the Islamic Fatwa Council?
An organisation that describes itself as : The global governing judicial body specialising in issuing and deducing Fatwas based on Islamic law. The IFC transcends borders and represents all sects of Islam because it is comprised of Islamic scholars and legal experts from across all Islamic sects
