One of the best @yohaysponder clips I’ve seen in a while.

🎶 “I Think I Just Freed Palestine” 🎶
A heartfelt musical tribute to performative activism, where the slogans are loud, the Jew-hate is palpable, knowledge is optional, and the results are nonexistent.

These are all the bathroom codes if your in your New York City. I’m just passing along this information that someone else posted doing some community outreach.😂😂😂

I actually understand why some people are so bothered by the fact that they feel uncomfortable living in Orthodox Jewish communities. I genuinely feel for them, and I understand their frustration. After all, who wouldn’t want to live in a neighborhood with virtually no violent crime, burglaries, graffiti, or homicides, where marriage, family, and education are top priorities?
I mean, imagine wanting to enjoy everything a close-knit community has to offer, knowing you can’t build anything similar because you don’t belong to a community of your own, and yet feeling uncomfortable moving into theirs because you’d be the odd one out. I can absolutely understand how frustrating that must be. I really do sympathize.
But just because you can’t create something similar on your own, and you feel uncomfortable being the only non-Jew on the block, doesn’t mean the Jewish families living there should have to move away or stop others from moving in.
This is the United States of America. It’s a free country. Orthodox Jews have every right to build communities wherever they choose, just like everyone else. And there isn’t a single Orthodox Jewish community in America where homeownership is legally reserved exclusively for Orthodox Jews. Anyone is free to buy a home and live there.
I understand your frustration. I understand the envy. I even understand why it might feel unfair that others have managed to build something you wish you had.
But your discomfort with being different doesn’t override anyone else’s right to live where they choose.

BREAKING 🔴
The United States has just imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court.
Only hours after the Nobel Peace Prize was ridiculously awarded to Navi Pilay (former ICC judge)
INCREDIBLE MOVE BY THE US 🇺🇸
Marco Rubio’s Press Statement October 9th 2026:
“For decades, Republicans and Democrats alike rejected the idea that the International Criminal Court had the power to prosecute American citizens, military servicemembers, or political leaders. America never joined the court. We don’t need it. And we don’t want it.
But globalist “experts” an ocean away don’t care what American citizens think.
They want the ICC to do more, including the prosecution of American citizens. Servicemembers defending their country, Border Patrol agents protecting our nation, and elected leaders ensuring our national security. They want more power, and they want it at our expense.
President Trump will never allow the International Criminal Court to prosecute Americans. That is why, today, the United States is sanctioning the International Criminal Court. We will ban transactions with this rogue court, cutting off their resources and crippling its ability to operate.
We have been clear for over a year as to the basic gestures of good faith we have expected from the court. We exercised discretion and deferred this designation out of respect for our relationships and in hopes that the ICC would change course or would otherwise be restrained by States Parties. However, neither the ICC nor States Parties have yet taken meaningful steps to address our concerns.
Despite their inaction, we hold out hope for a diplomatic solution. We have structured this action to provide an opportunity for States Parties to negotiate and present a solution to address our concerns. If these efforts do not bear fruit, we will continue to adjust accordingly.
Our message is clear: the United States and its people are not subject to the jurisdiction of the ICC. Both parties agree on this, but only President Trump has the resolve to take the action needed to end this threat for good. Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC. We expect our allies, many of whom are part of the ICC and that rely on American servicemembers for their defense, to rein in the court.
If they do not, the United States will continue its campaign to dismantle the ICC, brick by brick, until Americans are threatened no longer.
The ICC is being designated pursuant to section 1(a)(ii)(A) of Executive Order (E.O.) 14203.”

I envy the director who called his own country's army something worse than any enemy ever called it, and then drove home.
I envy that he signed his name to it.
I envy that his face is on the poster.
I envy that the state's revenge was a press release.
I envy that the ministers who despise him can only threaten his funding.
I envy that his worst punishment is being hated loudly by people with keyboards.
I envy that Iranian propaganda spends millions and never reaches the accusation he made himself, unpaid, on camera.
I envy that he will be invited to debate his critics on television.
I envy that his critics want to argue with him at all.
I envy that his mother watched the ceremony from her living room.
I envy that his mother has a living room.
I envy him because forty minutes past the last checkpoint, outside his country and outside his law, the review arrives at night, on motorcycles.
I envy him because out there, men take you out in your underwear so the street remembers it.
I envy him because an hour from his editing room, but under a different flag, a film like that ends on a rooftop, with the director going over the edge.
I envy him because in that place, the director own people will drag the body through the market, so the next director understands the notes.
I envy him because 50 kilometers from the theater that screened his film, and past the border of everything he is accused of, they shoot the knees first, so the neighborhood hears the whole verdict.
I envy him because there, the sentence includes your brothers.
I envy him because there, the sentence includes the house your father built.
I envy him because there, a rumor that you spoke to a foreign journalist is the entire trial.
I envy him because there, nobody cuts your budget, they cut you.
I envy that the distance between his applause and that rooftop is shorter than his commute, and that no one confuses the two jurisdictions.
I envy that he says all of it from inside the country he is accusing.

Fun fact: the Venice Film Festival awarded a gold medal to Leni Riefenstahl's Nazi propaganda film "the Triumph of Will" in 1935 and the best film award to her Nazi propaganda film "Olympia" in 1938. Sadly, we don't know for how long they applauded both films.
