🚨 Muslim Migrant Hero risked his life to disarm a gunman murdering people at Bondi Beach, and undoubtedly saved lives 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.
His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.
A true hero.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Today I asked the former council Tory candidate, who has gone to live in Russia on an “anti-woke” visa and whose business wants others to do the same, what so attracted him to live under the kleptocratic, murderous Russian regime. This was our exchange.

"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"
