Israel’s Arab parties went from 10 seats to 19. Their leaders refuse to call Hamas a terrorist organization. And yet they ran, their voters voted, and they won 19 seats in Israel’s parliament. The election committee tried to disqualify them. The Supreme Court unanimously overturned it. You can strongly oppose everything Israel stand for and still recognize this for what it is: A pretty remarkable example of democracy.

If this is true it will be truly telling. I mean, if the story in this tweet is true. The reality is obvious, but whether it is captured in private notes remains to be seen.
🇩🇪🚨MEGA-ESCÁNDALO: La ganadora de las elecciones de BERLÍN, del partido de ultraizquierda Die Linke confiesa por error que Hamás controla su partido y teme por su vida💣 Un error acaba de generar una crisis de seguridad impresionante. La revista Der Spiegel —un medio, cabe destacar, de marcada tendencia izquierdista— ha sacado a la luz un documento interno que prueba cómo Die Linke ha sido secuestrado por el islamismo. Su candidata a gobernar Berlín, Elif Eralp, envió por accidente a la redacción las notas privadas de una entrevista donde confiesa estar coaccionada y aterrorizada por Hamás que opera dentro de su propio partido. Resulta que luego de una entrevista, el equipo de la candidata revisó la transcripción. Durante este proceso, Eralp hizo comentarios internos que debían quedar en la más estricta confidencialidad. Sin embargo, el documento con las acotaciones sin borrar fue devuelto a los periodistas. El contenido de esas notas es dinamita. Cuando Der Spiegel le preguntó por Ibrahim Ibrahim —un propalestino simpatizante de Hamás que celebró la masacre del 7 de octubre—, la respuesta pública iba a ser esquiva. Pero en el margen del documento filtrado, Eralp escribió la verdad: «Hay un PROBLEMA. [...] mi marido no, y yo tampoco, quiero nombrar nombres concretos, él tiene miedo de esta gente y yo también». La filtración expone la cruda realidad del islamoizquierdismo en Alemania: Eralp llegó a comparar el nivel de amenaza de estos militantes pro-Palestina con el del Crimen Organizado e implora abortar la publicación: «No puedo poner en peligro a mí misma y a mi familia por Der SPIEGEL. ¿Qué hacemos ahora? ¿Anulamos toda la entrevista?». El mayor chiste de toda esta situación, sin embargo, quedó plasmado en una de las frases que Eralp sí quería publicar. En un alarde de desconexión absoluta, la candidata afirma en la entrevista: «Lo que sí puedo decir con total claridad es que, como alcaldesa gobernante, velaré por la seguridad de todas las berlinesas y todos los berlineses». Una promesa que resulta irrisoria viniendo de una dirigente que, en el mismo documento, reconoce en secreto que ni siquiera puede proteger a su propia familia de las bases de su partido. Luego del escándalo, Eralp ha anunciado que procederá legalmente contra Der Spiegel y presentará una queja formal ante el Consejo de Prensa por haber citado sus anotaciones internas. Esta maniobra judicial evidencia de inmediato lo susceptibles y completamente desbordados que están en realidad estos cuadros dirigentes frente a situaciones de crisis. La izquierda radical berlinesa creyó que podía capitalizar electoralmente el extremismo islámico; hoy, los documentos demuestran que es el extremismo quien los tiene de rehenes.

Patrick was one of those icons who we somehow all took for granted would always be with us. I grew up as a fan, and was later gifted the privilege of becoming a colleague and friend, working with him for many years on “American Dad!”, “Family Guy”, and “Ted”. He was that rare actor who could take any bit of dialogue and elevate it, making a good writer sound great, and a great writer sound masterful. He was also as humble as they come. I remember exchanging emails with him a number of years ago when he was beginning day 1 of a new film. He commented to me that he always walked onto a new set feeling like the biggest novice there. My stunned reaction was the same as anyone’s would be. I said, “Patrick, if you feel that way, the rest of us are screwed.” We have lost a legendary actor today, and for many of us, a good friend. He will be deeply missed by the entire planet.

The @NYTimes jumps on the stupid "Palestinians cannot vote" meme. When the Palestinians elected Hamas, did Jews who live in what they consider their territories have a chance to vote? Canada is heavily affected by US policy. Should Canadians get to vote? Has anyone even suggested that Cypriots who live under Turkish occupation but aren't Turkish citizens vote in Turkish elections? As always, the rules for Israel are different.

This video from Iran shows everything you need to know about the regime. A lone woman, already on the ground, surrounded by men, beaten by an armed IRGC thug with his rifle butt. In Iran, the IRGC doesn't protect people — it hunts them. Women are kicked, blinded, imprisoned and killed for the crime of wanting freedom. This is what oppression looks like in Iran. Iranian women face guns, batons and death just for demanding a normal life. She survived this beating. So many others like #MahsaAmini, #ArmitaGaravand did not. Designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization. Be the voice of Iranian women.

They called it apartheid. The ballot box called them liars. Arab and Muslim parties are winning 17 seats in Israel’s parliament, the Knesset. Arab turnout was above 70% in town after town. Wait, I thought Zionists were racist, so how come these “racists” are giving parliamentary seats to Arabs and Muslims, who, in turn, came out to vote? Some villages hit 90% turnout. They democratically participated and voted in a Zionist democratic system they believe in? Arabs now hold about 14% of Israel’s parliament. Muslim MPs hold about 4% of Britain’s. Odd kind of apartheid, where the “oppressed” vote harder than London does.

Israel’s apartheid is so genocidal that Arab/Muslim votes will decide their election 🤡

😡 Oh, so it wasn’t just the BBC then? How am I not surprised!? Turns out TAXPAYER FUNDED civil servants were also working inside ITV and Channel 4 during general elections, helping prepare news coverage, fact check politicians and assess party manifestos. And apparently they weren’t just checking statistics either. They were organising interviews and helping put together stories on immigration. One even went looking for people to interview about how cutting immigration could hurt businesses. Sorry, but since when was any of that their job? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Looks like election interference to me. There’s a HUGE damn difference between checking statistics and helping produce the news millions of people watch when deciding who to vote for. And this has been going on for at least 11 YEARS.. across FOUR general elections! ‼️ 2015 ‼️ 2017 ‼️ 2019 ‼️ 2024 Were they doing the same during the 2016 Brexit referendum? Almost certainly. 😡 We’re constantly told these broadcasters are independent and impartial.. yet they’ve had civil servants working behind the scenes during elections. And WE’RE PAYING FOR IT! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Who authorised this?? How much has it cost us? I think the public deserves some bloody answers and an independent investigation into the BBC, Channel 4 and ITV. Because if civil servants have been influencing election coverage, that’s not impartial journalism. That’s propaganda being funded by taxpayers, and there’s absolutely nothing democratic about it. @reformparty_uk @ZiaYusufUK @TiceRichard @LeeAndersonMP_ @SarahForRuncorn @danny__kruger @AndrewRosindell @RobertJenrick @SuellaBraverman @ThatAlexWoman @Iromg @GoodwinMJ

A lot is now being explained The BBC has betrayed the British public Shame on them !
Civil servants were embedded inside the BBC newsroom working on coverage of politically sensitive subjects including immigration, small boats and Covid. And we are supposed to believe nobody saw an obvious problem with this? We all knew the BBC was a voice box for the government. Now we have the evidence.
