Today I step down as CEO of @nrgenergy and move to advisory status. It has been my privilege and honor to lead our 18000 employees on an amazing journey, united as 1NRG as our rocket ship soared. Look forward to watching the rocket ship continue to reach new heights.
.@JoelMartinRubin is correct. @RoKhanna doesn’t understand democracy and has Israel derangement syndrome.
Former State Dept hack doesnt understand how parliamentary democracy works….and never has anything to say about countries which never have elections.

No, Israel didn’t have a hand in the train crash in Spain. Thread (& full article below) 🧵
Let’s break this down.
Why the claims are false as well as how they are perfect examples of how conspiracy theories become self-fulfilling echo chambers made to confirm people’s predetermined beliefs.

After the Democratic Socialists of America threatened to pull their endorsement of LA mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, she changed her stance.
The DSA declared that she was not strong enough against Israel, and Raman has now come out and stated that she supports BDS, despite opposing it in 2020.
I guess morals aren't important when your career depends on the hateful mob of Free Palestine.

The usual spot on take from @JoelMartinRubin
There’s clearly a lot of confusion out there about the practical impact of yesterday’s Israeli elections.
Want some honest practical analysis about it? Here’s my take:
Despite the uncertainty over who the next Prime Minister will be, there is one certainty that we know to be true: Netanyahu’s majority in the Knesset is no longer and his parliamentary coalition size has dropped from a majority of 68 to a minority of 53-54.
The new Knesset, which will have 66-67 seats for the non-Netanyahu opposition, will be seated imminently and can immediately begin to pass laws, elect a Knesset Speaker, create commissions, etc, while Netanyahu remains as the caretaker PM and he and Eisenkot negotiate over the prime ministership.
There are a lot of commentators on this platform making sweeping generalizations about what the election means, how the Arab parties are being treated, and what the vote total implies. There are many stating that nothing at all has changed.
This last point is a dramatically incorrect take and nothing could be further from the truth.
The bottom line is that there will be a new Knesset run by the anti-Netanyahu majority while the negotiations proceed to see if there will be a new PM and what form a new executive branch of the government will take.
Remember, almost 80% of Israelis voted in this election and the dynamism of this vote - and the changes it is ushering in - are a clear sign that Israel’s democracy is strong and vital — and capable of change.

Have you noticed that more than 90% of the reports of "settler violence" come from two specific Palestinian villages?
Taybeh and Turmus’ayya.
Why? Because that’s where all the foreign activists are.
Why are they there?
Because Taybeh is a Christian village, and Turmus’ayya is full of Palestinians with American citizenship.
That’s it, it’s just to make provocations to trigger the Christian world and the American public.
Truth
From the WSJ Editorial Board:
"A carton of eggs in most parts of the U.S. now costs less than $2, but blaming Israel for America’s woes never goes out of style on the left. Most Michiganders are smart enough to know that Israel isn’t responsible for inflation, but the ad is intended to feed grievances on the far left and right.
As for the $26 billion in aid for Israel, this was part of a larger bipartisan foreign aid package that Joe Biden signed in the spring of 2024, which also included money for Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific. Most of the Israel money went to replacing the U.S. munitions Israel used to fight Hamas, supporting American troops in the region, or humanitarian aid for Gaza....
Mr. El-Sayed has no trouble condemning Israel and Jews who support it. But when it comes to condemning antisemitism, he does the equivalent of voting “present.”"

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.

How dumb do you have to be to complain about Palestinians who hold a Palestinian passport & are under Palestinian rule, not being able to vote for Israeli elections?
These are the same people who never complain that elections in Gaza and WB have not taken place in over a decade.

The ad isn’t just so clearly antisemitic that rent Michigan Ds are running from it, it was also so economically illiterate that anyone not overcome with animus could see the fallacy. AES needs this! It’s a perfect chance to Sister Souljah his bigoted hangers-on…

Even astrophysicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein has asserted that the claim by the Byline Times that Jason Arday has been “cleared” of plagiarism charges by a major journal is false.
This supposed “clearing” of Jason Arday for plagiarism is based on the fact that a single scientific journal decided not to retract a paper of his or take any further action such as issuing a correction.
The journal did not come out with a statement saying they had “cleared” him. Nor did they asses all the papers of his that show evidence of fraud or plagiarism. They apparently took yet another look at a paper to which they had already attached a correction.
But because the Byline Times is wedded to the narrative of claiming Arday was never at fault for anything, and because so is Bluesky, the claim flies unquestioned. Somehow these arguments never acknowledge that there is strong evidence that Arday stole another academic’s data and presented it as his own, which would be fraud.

Breaking: Switzerland just froze $1.52 million in funding to Doctors Without Borders following reports of at least 59 cases of staff sexually abusing Sudanese refugees in exchange for aid.
You wouldn't believe how common this is among international aid organizations

This year alone, more Christians have been killed by Muslims in Nigeria than Gazans in three years of war.
Not a single Muslim or pro-Palestinian activist has protested like they do for Gaza. Weird.

We're at the "asking El-Sayed about his well-documented connections to the Muslim Brotherhood is obviously racist and Islamaphobic, but it's ridiculous to even suggest that blaming military aid to Israel for the price of bananas reflects classic antisemitic tropes of blaming Jews for economic misfortune" stage of American progressive politics.

Exactly this from Micah Goodman ⬇️
"Do Israelis really not care what the world thinks about them? No. They care a lot. But what concerns them even more is what their enemies think. Israel’s problem is that it must cultivate two reputations, one for the West and one for the Middle East. These two reputations clash. Israelis want the Western world to love them, but their enemies in the Middle East to fear them."

With Abdul, Obama's "high moral ground" is when Arab-Americans worry about "people who might be related to them" outside of America. It does not matter where the U.S. national interest stands here.
Then they ask Jews to stand alone on Obama's "high moral ground" and behave as borderless globalists, disregarding their kin in Israel.
My neighbor shamed Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) for voting against U.S. aid to Israel even though Raskin has relatives under fire in Israel. Raskin responded, per my neighbor, that he was scared of being primaried by the cult (he didn't say cult-- my word).
This is where yours truly, an American with a proud Arab heritage, stands: Paying Israel serves U.S. national interests much more than withholding funds or undermining the alliance. My own family house in Lebanon suffered during Israel's response to Hezbollah's war. But that does not factor into my calculus. America first, then trying to pull "our relatives" overseas to stand where it becomes mutual benefit -- for them and for the U.S. Paying Jordan, too, is worth every cent.
And no, cutting the aid to Israel will not bring down the prices of eggs and bananas.
Abdul El-Sayed sought to “soothe” anti-Israel voters in Dearborn during a roundtable discussion this week with local activist Osama Siblani, who has called Hamas and Hezbollah “freedom fighters” and called for Israeli Jews to be sent “back to Poland,” @ChuckRossDC reports.

Israelis, including Israeli Arabs, can vote in Israeli elections.
Palestinians would vote in Palestinian elections, if they ever decide to schedule any.

Below are two charts, one showing all the major conflicts going on in the world and the deaths accumulated by them in the month of September 2026.
The second chart lists the media coverage/headlines and attention those deaths received.
We now have real data to back up what many of us have been saying for months on this app.
Look at Gaza/Palestine with 120 the “least amount of deaths” where supposedly a genocide is happening but with “the most coverage.”
Nigeria had 451 deaths nearly 4 times that of Gaza but received ZERO HEADLINES and they receive $730 MILLION in American taxpayer dollars FY2025.
Somalia had 194 deaths, 74 murders than Gaza and receives ZERO HEADLINES and they received $498 MILLION in American taxpayer dollars FY2025.
Gaza receives way more headlines, coverage, and attention than Ukraine and they had 6202 deaths in September alone and it’s not considered a GENOCIDE. Nobody’s marching in the streets, protesting, and rioting around the world for Ukrainians.
Ethiopia had the 4th largest deaths at 609 and coverage is AGAIN surpassed by Gaza and they received $920 MILLION in American taxpayer dollars in FY2025. None of people talking about Gaza care that the tax dollars are getting to extremists and funding their atrocities.
And you wanna know why?
Yes it’s antisemitism because it’s a conflict with Jewish people.
But ALSO in the other countries it’s the Islamists who are doing the killings mainly, but in Gaza they’re being killed and are pissed about it and the world has to know and pay, as they cry victim.

The online "far left" is essentially a narcissistic movement. Always motivated by attention, moral bullying, & the reward that comes from emotional control. Then there's their meth-like addiction to antisemitism. We must treat their "movement" like a gangrenous thumb. Lop it off.
