Data from UN resolution trackers show the General Assembly adopted 187 country-specific resolutions on Israel from 2015-2025 versus 90 on all other countries combined. The Human Rights Council has adopted 116 on Israel since 2006, more than any other state (e.g., 45 on Syria). Israel alone faces a permanent dedicated agenda item. No other country receives comparable annual volume or institutional focus.

WOW. Holy shit. The best response to Palestinian bullshit ever.
Meticulous. Masterclass by @benshapiro
You’ve gotta watch this

I just watched the roughly 45-minute footage of October 7th at a private screening in NYC. Here are my immediate thoughts minutes after watching it. 🧵

I've seen my share of evil firsthand around the world in wars of the Middle East/Ukraine/etc. I've seen heinous cruelty/dehumanization/mutilations. I've looked evil men in the eye. But I've never seen so many evil men (hundreds, thousands) show such joy in committing their acts.

4,000 מחבלים שפלשו לישראל ב-7 באוקטובר חוסלו - נותרו עוד 2,000.
רה"מ נתניהו ואני הורינו לצה"ל לרדוף ולחסל את כולם - מהבכירים ועד הזוטרים.
זה ציווי הנרצחים והנופלים וזאת חובתנו כעם וכמדינה - ואנחנו נעמוד בה.

🚨 Head of the Shin Bet Zini: “To the planners of the massacre, its perpetrators, and everyone who lent a hand in desecrating the honor and blood of the State of Israel, and to everyone who desires our destruction – we have one uncompromising message: there is no place in the world that is too far away; there is no forgiveness, and there is no expiration date. We pursued, we are pursuing, and we will continue to pursue you until the last participant. The long and determined arm of the Israeli security system will reach everyone who harmed us – in the depths of the tunnels, in hidden command centers, and in every corner of the globe. This is our sacred duty to the nation and to humanity."

Iran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the U.S. came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion

The same Mayor Mamdani who says he won't join the Israel Parade because of the government, marched with a smile on his face at the Pakistan Independence Day parade.
Pakistan 🇵🇰
- Is a global transit point for human trafficking
- Sees 1000+ honor killings of women a year
- Has one of the highest rates of heroin addiction in the world
- Its army raped ~200,000-400,00 women and killed between 300,000 and 3 million people during a war with Bangladesh in 1971, in what is widely recognized as a genocide
- Multiple terror groups operate in the country and killed 100s in attacks in just the last year
None of those are reasons for individual Pakistanis to stop marching for their country; random citizens are not responsible for an entire country's failures.
But they are reasons why the Mayor's stance betrays a double standard.
Mayors are responsible for ALL of their city's residents, no matter what country they are from.

All I have to say about Ben Gvir is this:
When the Jews of Egypt were finally freed, they started to praise God when the Egyptians, who charged after them trying to re-enslave them, were drowned in the sea. God chastised them, and to this day, we spill a little wine out of our cups at the Seder to remember to have empathy and pity - even if it is our enemies being destroyed.
We are not supposed to be pacifists. But neither are we supposed to cheer at the downfall of men - any men - all whom are created in the image of God.
Have a death penalty for terrorists. Don't have a death penalty for terrorists. For me - the conversation SHOULD have been about this worthy debate. Instead, we're all rightfully distracted by the disgusting and disturbing actions of a man who pops open champagne and wears a pin of a noose to celebrate the death penalty.
Lest you think most Israelis support this inhumanity, I will remind you that Ben Gvir was banned from serving in the IDF, and has 13 criminal convictions. Every country has more than a few politicians worthy of being embarrassed of. Ben Gvir is one of Israel's.

Imagine a New York City mayor whose wife publicly celebrated the lynching and rape of Black Americans. When confronted, he defends her—then invites a white supremacist to a taxpayer-funded dinner at Gracie Mansion.
Would we just move on with business as usual?
Why are we now?

There are Americans right now screaming, “Why are we in Iran? This isn’t our fight.”
Let’s slow that down.
While you’re at home arguing online…
While you’re building your business…
While your kids are asleep in a safe suburb…
There are 18–22-year-old Americans standing watch in places most people can’t even point to on a map.
Not for Israel.
Not for some abstract ideology.
For American leverage.
The United States Department of War doesn’t maintain roughly 750–800 bases in 80+ countries because it’s bored. That network exists because global dominance isn’t a slogan - it’s infrastructure.
Japan. Germany. South Korea.
The Middle East. The Pacific. Europe.
The US currently has around 170,000–180,000 active-duty personnel overseas.
In the Middle East alone? 40,000–60,000 troops.
That’s not charity.
That’s positioning.
Look at the map:
Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar - ~10,000 troops.
Camp Arifjan in Kuwait - logistics backbone.
United States Fifth Fleet headquartered in Bahrain - guarding maritime arteries.
Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.
Ain al-Asad Airbase in Iraq.
Why?
Because oil still moves through the Strait of Hormuz.
Because supply chains still cross hostile waters.
Because adversaries still calculate power based on proximity and readiness.
You enjoy low fuel volatility?
Stable trade?
A dollar that still dominates global settlement?
That doesn’t happen because the world is nice.
It happens because America is present.
If the U.S. pulls back from global dominance, here’s what fills the vacuum:
China expands naval control in the Pacific and beyond.
Russia pushes harder into Europe and energy markets.
Iran leverages proxies and choke points without restraint.
Superpowers don’t get to be isolationist.
Empires that retreat don’t stay wealthy - they decline.
You can dislike war. Good. So should everyone.
But pretending that disengagement equals peace is naïve.
Peace through absence has never worked in human history.
Deterrence works. Presence works. Positioning works.
When carrier strike groups move into the region, they aren’t there for theatrics. They’re there to prevent miscalculation. Each carrier group carries 5,000–6,000 personnel. That’s not symbolism - that’s leverage.
And here’s the uncomfortable truth:
If America stops protecting sea lanes, energy corridors, and alliance structures…
Your cost of living spikes.
Markets destabilize.
Allies hedge.
Enemies test boundaries.
And suddenly the conflict you wanted to avoid shows up closer to home.
You don’t have to cheer military action.
But at least understand this:
The comfort you’re enjoying was bought and is maintained by forward positioning.
By deterrence.
By young Americans standing in places you’d never volunteer to go.
This isn’t about Israel.
It’s about whether the United States remains the global superpower - or becomes just another large country reacting to stronger ones.
Power vacuums don’t stay empty.
They get filled.
The only real question is:
Do you want America filling that space - or someone else?
At least understand the bigger picture before spewing nonesense.
