Actually Portugal eventually allowed it and the Netherlands wanted to but geometry made that nugatory. But yes, the other Europeans all went out of their way to thwart their main and most powerful ally in order to contribute to causing 2600 Israeli deaths.

While many major corporate executives stayed silent in the aftermath of 10/7, three really stand out for their courageous commitment to truth and justice. SpaceXAI CEO Elon Musk: Just one month after the attacks, in the middle of full blown conflict, he flew to Israel, toured the devastation, and spent lots of time meeting with hostage families. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: Avinatan Or, a Nvidia employee, was taken hostage on 10/7. Jensen, despite reportedly being told by the Biden Admin to stay quiet, mentioned his name in every internal quarterly meeting. Later he stated flatly that NVIDIA is “100% in Israel” and “100% behind the families." Palantir CEO Alex Karp: Palantir ran a full-page New York Times ad declaring: “Certain evils can only be fought with force. Palantir stands with Israel.” Karp told shareholders that Palantir was on the ground in operationally relevant roles within weeks and that he was “exceedingly proud” of the stance.

How far we have drifted from the idea that an Englishman's home is his castle. The mighty jurist Sir Edward Coke, who did as much as anyone to codify our understanding of the common law, put it like this as long ago as 1628: “For a man's house is his castle, et domus sua cuique est tutissimum refugium [and each man's home is his safest refuge].” In 1763, Pitt the Elder expressed it more rousingly: “The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail – its roof may shake – the wind may blow through it – the storm may enter – the rain may enter – but the King of England cannot enter!” Now more than 900 categories of state official are empowered to enter our homes without permission.

A classic example of how playing the ‘both sides’ card is a means of avoiding, or even denying, obvious truths. “We can never allow conflict overseas to divide us at home”, Khan says. But only one side imports the conflict here. Only one side targets the other on British streets every week. The two sides are not, in fact, the same.

I have to take a moment from my son’s bedside, on life support after being struck by a Palestinian terrorist, to respond to the dangerous lies being spewed by @NYCMayor. It’s actually hard to find a sentence in Mamdani’s post that isn’t a lie. Paying lip service to the victims of October 7 just to spread blood libels about Israel might play nicely to the red-green/communist-Islamist alliance that he promotes in the U.S, but those of us who know better see his perverted language for what it is. This man is a defender of Palestinian terrorism, a promoter of antisemitism, and an advocate of anti-Americanism. Even today, October 7, he can’t help but attack the Jewish state with absurd accusations and outright propaganda. Let’s be clear: the only attempted genocide in this conflict was perpetrated by the barbarians he supports, Hamas, who butchered, raped, and murdered in the most horrific ways imaginable. There is no genocide, ethnic cleansing, or famine in Gaza. Hamas embeds itself among, behind, and beneath the people of Gaza, knowing that the IDF will not, ever, intentionally target civilians. It robs its own people of the humanitarian aid that Israel has facilitated into Gaza since the war began. Hamas knows that its allies, including Zohran Mamdani, will regurgitate its lies, demonizing Israel and endangering Jews everywhere. Israel and its allies will not be deterred from defending civilization against terrorist savagery. Those of us who envision a peaceful and prosperous Middle East, will root out the evil that is Islamic terrorism and build a better future for all, Jew and Arab alike. If you want to understand the extent of the lies told by Mamdani and his radical Islamic commrades, you can read the truth in my book, “Manufacturing a Modern Blood Libel,” here:

wow, the Mayors are queuing up to make sure we don't get to grieve without offering an apology. After a drive-by gesture of regret Mamdani proceeded to contextualise us to death and without ever uttering the J word . J people not allowed their own mourning even when massacred, mutilated, raped, abducted .

I feel like Alex Karp doesn’t get nearly enough credit for how boldly he stood with Israel after October 7. The next day, October 8, Palantir took out a full-page ad in The New York Times: “Palantir stands with Israel.” At a moment when most CEOs were saying as little as possible, Karp chose to make his position unmistakable. And he didn’t stop at words. Palantir sent engineers to Israel, brought its board to Tel Aviv, and continued supporting Israel’s defense. That took conviction. And it paid off! stock is up 1100% in 3 years.

This may be the most disgusting thing I've seen on a mainstream channel. @skynews is broadcasting live coverage of the October 7 memorial from Nova. Overlaying it is @adamparsons giving his view that the real villains are the Israeli cabinet. Listen to it. It's vile

This is on the @bbcnews LIVE updates for the Oct 7 remembrance page. This "genocide" org is junk - the BBC is publishing raw propaganda - and WHOEVER wrote this on this page should be fired. The public should not pay their wages. The BBC hates Jews. And cannot help itself.

I just fixed my dishwasher with the help of ChatGPT. A trivial task. I had been about to order a new one. So this software has increased the country's real wealth yet decreased the measured GDP. The main economic indicator is structurally incapable of registering the thing that actually makes people better off, namely the growth of knowledge
