our town square of hope and despair
It's here in the twitter sphere
where we can encounter and engage with the most fascinating and entertaining people on planet earth

No. There is no credible evidence of Europeans training or exporting dogs specifically for rape.
Military working dogs (Malinois, shepherds) are sold from Europe to Israel’s Oketz unit for detection and attack roles. Canine experts state deliberate training for sexual penetration is biologically implausible and unsupported. Albanese’s claim rests on unverified detainee testimonies; independent verification of specialized “rape dogs” does not exist.

Your protest is...targeting Jewish businesses on the anniversary of Kristallnacht?
I think Free Palestine gave up hiding that they're a hate movement.

Under Sharia Law, women have no rights.
Husbands can legally beat the shit out of their wives
Women cant divorce.
All good tho, all good ⬇️

Moral equivalence -- wrong and repugnant. And coming right from the top: the president of the United States. Republicans and conservatives used to abhor this stuff, and they (we) were right.
Q: Putin right now kills Ukrainian civilians in their apartments, in their buses, in their schools, he's targeting civilians all the time. Did you bring that up?
Trump: I always bring it up and I also bring it up the other way because, the other way, they kill too—a lot of people are being killed. Both sides.

The Trojan horse is happening in real time. That is exactly what happened in Iran in 1979.

So what if a Muslim wins an election in America and becomes a congressman or senator? Why is that any different from a Buddhist winning an election?
Because Buddhism is a religion. Islam is a state.
Islam has a population: the ummah. It has a constitution: Sharia. It has courts, criminal law, family law, taxation, rules for minorities, doctrines of war and peace, and a foreign-policy framework governing relations between the land of Islam and the lands outside it.
The ummah is not tied to Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, or any other modern country. It crosses all of them.
Islam's population "Muslims" belong to one political-religious community.
That is fundamentally different from Buddhism.
A Buddhist American may practice Buddhism faithfully, but Buddhism does not give him a second universal political order with its own law, sovereignty, territorial doctrine, and theory of government.
Islam does.
This is why reducing Islam to “just another religion” misses the point.
Muslim officeholders are literally citizens of another existing country, and their loyalties can never be American first, because the two projects are contradictory.
Add to that the religious hatred of Jews in Islam and the special relationship between Israel and America.
A Muslim in a position of power in America, with a religious mandate to hate Jews, will not approach Israel from the perspective of what is in America’s best interest, but rather from the perspective of what Islam commands him to do.

Trump loyalists can’t say who won the 2020 election. Putin loyalists can’t say who started the Russia-Ukraine war.

I used to think blaming Israel for absolutely everything was a Middle Eastern tradition. Too hot? Israel. Too cold? Israel. Bad weather? Definitely Mossad. But apparently, the West has adopted the tradition too! Win an election? Blame Israel. Lose an election? Blame Israel. Bad day? Israel. Good day? Suspiciously Israel. Burnt your toast? Netanyahu probably personally approved it.
And the funniest part? In Israel, some Israelis blame Israel for everything going wrong in the West and the Middle East too!
At this point, if aliens invade Earth, someone will demand an investigation into their links with Mossad.( BTW, some YouTubers believe that has already happened and that Zionists were behind it too).
Israel might be the only country in history blamed for both causing the problem and failing to prevent it.

He still doesn’t know which side is invading and which one is defending itself.

When Putin seized Crimea, both Europe and America were quite openly making calls, holding meetings, and sending signals to the Ukrainians who were in power at the time that there should be no escalation – let's just keep things friendly and leave things as they are for now. And we lost Crimea. After that, we lost part of Donbas. But the shooting in the east continued. There was no peace.
People think we were always helped. That is not true. Help started coming after the full-scale invasion, but that was after eight years of Russia occupying our territory. That is a long time to figure things out and understand that Putin has no intention of giving anything back to us.
At one point, some Europeans asked me: “Why do you think that if you withdraw from Donbas, he will go further?” And I answered: “Because at the beginning of the war, he wasn't seizing Donbas. He came to the capital. He seized parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, Kherson itself, and Kharkiv region.” We have retaken a lot of territory, but he had seized different parts of our country. And now they want us to give them something because they are unable to seize it. We may have a smaller territory, less money, and fewer weapons, but we still have more dignity than many others. We will do everything we can to end this war, but it must end in a way that preserves our dignity.

Trump: “I'm not on either side in the Russian-Ukrainian war.”
Also Trump: Meets only with the Russian delegation at the White House while ignoring a meeting with the Ukrainian delegation.

It’s illegal in the Palestinian Authority to sell land or property to Jews. The punishment is either imprisonment or execution. This, in case you were wondering, is apartheid.

Every time this lunatic speaks, she dishonors the work of @UN employees in the field who risk their lives to deliver food, medicine, and shelter in some of the remotest locations on earth.
Where is the leadership of the so-called human rights pillar when one of its own foments hatred and spreads blood libels, all to applause from far too many Member States?

So much going on in the world-- and now an important story from my neck of the woods. All power to these parents who should take this fight all the way. I'm interested to hear what Premier Ben Carroll, a former education minister, really thinks about teaching young children that some people feel "they did not get a good match for their body parts." And about forcing dissenting parents to expose their children to this contested idea, really more like a religious belief.
Dozens of parents at a Melbourne primary school are fighting for the right to pull their children from lessons that “introduce contested concepts” around “sex and gender identity”.

Salman Rushdie Makes a Chilling Claim About Extremism Within Islam — Bill Maher Says the Problem Goes Deeper Than Terrorism
Bill Maher: Turkey's President said, "Women are not equal to men, our religion has defined position for women, motherhood."
I can't imagine a Western government leader saying that.
What we've said all along, and have been called bigots for it, is when there's this many bad apples, there's something wrong with the orchard.
Salman Rushdie: There's been a deadly mutation in the middle of Islam.
This is not a random mutation.
Governments from the Sunni side, the Saudi government;
on the Shia side, the Iranian government have been putting fortunes of money into making sure that extremist mullahs are preaching in mosques around the world, building schools in which a whole generation is being educated in extremism.
But in a way, we're a side show. This is a project to seize power in the Islamic world.
Whether it's the Taliban, ISIS, Boko Haram, or Al-Shabaab, what they're trying to do is create a mindset which allows them to conquer the world of Islam.
Paul Begala: That's critical for Americans to realize. It's not about us. The real fight is not Islam versus the West, it's within Islam. It's between the terrorists and the tolerant. It's between Al-Qaeda and Malala.
Kirsten Powers: Yeah, but it is Americans who are being beheaded by ISIS right now.
Bill Maher: There should be a distinction, because obviously the vast majority of Muslims would never do anything like this. But they share bad ideas.
Sam Harris said, "Islam is the mother lode of bad ideas," and everyone went fucking nuts, but it is!
These two guys who shot up the cartoonist the other day were revenging the prophet.
A bad idea! Martyrdom, a bad idea! Women as second-class citizens, a bad idea! And unfortunately, the terrorists and the mainstream share a lot of these bad ideas.

“Nobody is trying to force Sharia law on anybody.”
WHAT???
Then what on earth have Islamist forces been imposing on people across Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, parts of Africa, and beyond?
With Islamists now holding elected office in America, legislation safeguarding our constitutional freedoms against the imposition of Sharia law is the least we can demand.
More effective is for American lawmakers to join the @IFCoalition to stop Jihadism and Islamism before it’s too late.
Religious freedom is a right. Religious rule is not. Stop gaslighting Abdul.
Jesse Watters CONFRONTS Abdul El-Sayed Over His “White Supremacy” Sharia Law Claim — Abdul Fires Back
Jesse Watters: You said getting rid of Sharia law was white supremacy. Can you explain that?
Abdul El-Sayed: Do you know what Canon law is? I don’t begrudge Christians the right to practise their faith. Why should Muslims be treated differently?
Abdul El-Sayed: Nobody is trying to impose Sharia law on anyone. Banning it targets a small Muslim community simply because they’re different.
Jesse Watters: Nobody wants you to get rid of your religion.
Abdul El-Sayed: Then why pass laws to ban something that isn’t happening? People in Michigan are worried about gas prices, healthcare and keeping their jobs.
Abdul El-Sayed: And Mike Rogers is a beta. He dodges debates and refuses to answer questions.
Jesse Watters: Gas prices are too high, Abdul. The Green New Deal isn’t going to help.

After thanking Allah for victory, Abdul El-Sayed says "your constitution" while referring to the American constitution.
Your constitution. Not our constitution.
He knows he isn't part of America. He had every chance to be, if he were sincere, but he is not. His loyalty lies elsewhere.
Political office isn't assimilation for him. It's missionary work.
In this long game, it seems only native Americans are the dumb ones, clueless about what's happening right in front of them.
