🔴🧵 Colombia appointed a new religious affairs director who appears to have a rabbinical ordination he got at an online store and a doctorate from a mystery institution, and uses his AsAJew status to call Ashkenazi Jews Khazars and Israelis Nazis 👇 Image
Image While he calls himself Rabbi Dr. Richard Gamboa Ben-Eleazar, these honorifics have very much been cast in doubt as he takes a position that would allow him to regulate the Colombian Jewish communities he appears to despise.

🔴 Mahmoud Khalil's group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest, is more than just a student group -- they think they're revolutionaries. This is not to be dismissed. They seek the destruction of Israel and US, praise October 7 and terrorist orgs, and study terrorist literature👇 CUAD supports armed violence. This statement was part of an apology to a member named Kymani James after they issued what appeared to be an apology on his behalf when he said that Zionists should die. Image

🧵 The harsh truth about the hostage deal:

The truth about a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas is that there will be loss and sacrifice regardless of the terms and decisions. The hostages must be returned. Every second a deal is not made and risks their lives and is torture for them and their kin. Their families and loved ones have every right to demand any cost to have them back in their arms or to give them their last respects.

🔴 I’ve just retuned from serving as a reservist infantryman in Gaza for a second time. Here are my ten takeaways from the experience👇 1️⃣ The IDF is winning, but the war isn’t over

Hamas’s capabilities have been severely degraded since last time I was in Gaza. The group seems only able to field tactical attack + PR stunts. That said, without decisive action, this weakness will not translate into victory.

What is a provocation ritual?

No such ritual exists. Why make it up, and cast Jewish religious practice as aggressive and alien to the setting?

Posts like this are part of the attempt to delegitimize Jewish identity, religion, and history for cynical political gain. The “provocation ritual” is actually the practice of dancing with a Torah, which is done on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, which is a celebration of the Jewish bible and the beginning of a new cycle of readings.

A title only has so much room, and the Washington Post used their precious space to romanticise and downplay the actions of an archterrorist. Image I’ll never understand the sycophancy that some offer for terrorists. Image

Want to spread false info on the Internet? A good case study is @cjwerleman's claim that 40% of Palestinian minors detained by Israeli security forces are raped, almost 100% tortured. Emulating this process, you too can also spread false info. Thread >>>
@cjwerleman Your objective is to make a claim that is politically/ideologically useful. But what's useful isn't always supported by reality. How to get useful info? Good false information is based on previous false info, which is as well. You essentially make Matryoshka dolls of false info.

The problems of misinformation and disinformation regarding conflict between Israel and Gaza, are unfolding out of the pages of the New York Times.

The slow leak of corrections also shows the issues with understanding a conflict from the amount of bodies, and without context. The New York Times published a front page with a collage of child casualties of the recent Gaza-Israel conflagration. Slowly, we are discovering errors and misrepresentations in the piece, which actually serves as a microcosm of the information problems with Gaza.
