I’m not Jewish, but there’s a reason that I’ve risked everything to speak up for the Jewish community. And when I say everything, I mean everything. I mean being blocked by friends that I grew up with, unfollowed by most friends and associates, accused of being a spy for the Mossad, IRGC, CIA etc, having my family accused of the same and having their lives put at risk to the extent of having to contact the FBI, being subjected to unthinkable smears, conspiracies, and rumors that are intended to blacklist me from everywhere and by everyone, but I still speak up despite it all, you know why? Because the same time that Jews had to watch their children being shot and kidnapped on October 7 Is the same time they had to watch half the world protest against the existence of their tiny Jewish state that is their only refuge from global genocide Is the same time they had to watch their friends, associates, celebrities, and the world’s body politic post paragliders in celebration of their massacre Is the same time they had to watch their synagogues go up in flames amid renewed pogroms in Europe Is the same time they had to be banned and blacklisted as persona non gratas of the world by trading the word “Jews” for “Zionists” Is the same time they had to be pushed back by human chains on college campuses and beaten unconscious for defying chants for their death Is the same time they had to watch a mentally ill rapper tell millions of his followers that he loves Hitler and supports the Holocaust Is the same time they had to watch the likes of Dan Bilzerian, Candace Owens, Jake Shields, and the rest of the “woke right” claim “Jewish supremacy” is the world’s biggest problem by citing obscure texts of the Talmud & claiming to “seek truth” while regurgitating antisemitic Soviet disinformation to justify their persecution Is the same time they had to watch the woke left claim that the victims of Islamist extremism deserved the October 7 horrors because their grandparents who fled Nazi Germany back to Palestine in refugee boats were actually “white colonizers” All while the world looks on and glibly asks, “what antisemitism?” That’s why I speak up. The most important thing I’ve realized is that nobody can take from you what doesn’t belong to them. They can silence, intimidate, threaten, and accuse you, but they can never take away the power of your voice when it bellows into the scorched earth the last hopeful, fragmented glimmers of truth. That belongs to you and nobody else, and in our lifetime, it may never be more important than now.

Below we can see clearly what they don't report. (RTÉ and others buy Gaza footage from Al Jazeera, need we say more?) Another pat on the back for the your widely-praised (in Ireland, anyway) 'journalism', @rtenews 2/2

On Dec 22 the Jewish world lost one of the most inspiring figures in the Soviet Zionist movement, Eduard Kuznetsov. He will be forever remembered as a coorganizer of the unimaginably daring plan to hijack, in June 1970, a small, empty airplane in Leningrad & fly it to freedom. The plot was called “Operation Wedding.” It’s a breathtaking story just waiting to be turned into the next Netflix blockbuster series. For their participation in the plot, Eduard — then a 30 year old who had already served 7 years in the gulag for ‘anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda’ (editing a dissident publication) — and another co-conspirator, the 43 year old Mark Dymshits, a former military pilot, were sentenced to death by firing squad. Seven defendants, ages 21 to 30, were sentenced to 10 to 15 years in labor camps, with two receiving shorter sentences. With two exceptions, all the defendants were Jews. Eduard passed away on the 54th anniversary of the start of their sham trial—almost to the day. I was fortunate to have had the chance to interview him & other participants in Operation Wedding & wrote about it for @Tablet on the 50th anniversary of the trial, exactly 4 years ago. Here’s a 🧵with some excerpts from the piece:
