This shameful Israeli propaganda will be repeated ad nauseam.

This is why those banking on the Israeli "opposition" convince very few...

Yair Lapid, head of Israel's opposition:

"Those who demonstrated against Israel in London, Rome, Paris... were deceived by propaganda... The truth is, there was no genocide, no intentional starvation."

Columbus enslaved 550 Native Americans in 1495—forcing them on his ship bound for a slave market in Spain, ordering his crew to pitch the 200 who died at sea overboard. He also came up with idea of colonization, immediately causing 50000 suicides to avoid enslavement—horrible man

@MrOxMix
And what's your point? It was a tough neighborhood back then get over it.
No doubt you've heard of gigantic Aztec sacrifices where 1,000s were slaughtered in a day. Slavery was endemic to the New World right? Did Columbus bring that to them?
Columbus came up with the idea of colonization??? Romans , Greeks and everybody else in the Old World.
Incas, Aztec, Toltecs and Mayans in the New.
He was a man of his times and thats all.
and your a dumb shit.

United States Congressman calls for the deportation of all Muslims from the US.

All Jewish groups should join together to denounce this.

Tweet from Congressman Randy Fine: "Muslims calling for the destruction of Israel — after the peace deal.

It was never about Gaza.

Why did the UK allow these demons in?

We must ban Sharia in the United States and deport them ALL before this becomes us.

Ireland has a population of 5m and we've a waiting list approaching 15 years. Why? Because their mandatory, archaic and traumatic psychiatric and psychological assessments are a deliberate bottleneck to ensure as few people as possible can access healthcare a nurse can do!

The ‘Transit’ gender clinic in Spain has a 3 WEEK waiting list! 😳😳😳

It covers a population of 8 million, (equivalent to the population of Scotland & Wales combined, or 1/7th of the population of England) It has a total of 43 staff, a majority of whom are part-time, working 6-7 hours per week!

Trans health waiting lists are a political choice

I’m just back from an awesome trans healthcare conference in Norway (blog on that to follow). Here I wanted to share information from a presentation by the founder of the transit trans health…

Your reminder—or maybe no one ever told you—that complications from a measles infection include immune amnesia (where you lose immunity to everything), vision and hearing loss, brain damage, and a fatal brain disease called Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis that can show up years later.

Hundreds of children in multiple states are in quarantine and on remote learning due to measles outbreaks.

The decline in MMR vaccinations has resulted in the US experiencing an increase of measles cases with 1563 total cases & 3 deaths since January.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility
By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.
