Netanyahu- We are now on the offensive. Every Hamas terrorist will die. Hamas is ISIS. We will crush them like the world crushed ISIS.

France has banned pro-Palestinian protests but it remains to be seen if the police will enforce it.
Jewish schools in Amsterdam will be closed tommorow because of the planned protests and the Hamas call for 'Global Jihad' on Friday the 13th. The left wing groups still plan to join and organize the protests Hamas called for this weekend. Europe is a powder keg right now, everyone is shocked by the hatred for jews that has surfaced, especially because they always expected it to come from the right, not the left. Muslim women are telling German news crews they are 'delighted' by the killing of Jewish babies and pamphlets of those Kidnapped to Gaza are being ripped down in London. Lets hope cooler heads prevail but I fear we'll see a lot of violence, perhaps even something akin to civil war this weekend. Jews are legit terrified they're going to be raped, killed or burned alive.

What’s always perplexing is the far right conspiracy narrative that Jews are responsible for mass immigration… of groups that tend to hate Jews? I can’t track the logic there. Do they believe “they” believe helping largely Muslim immigrants will grant them an IOU or something like that? And that plan is backfiring? Like, extending it further, they blame the Jews for “woke” media. So, the rising antisemitism is from where? Again, not following.

Rotterdam city council was unable to adopt a motion to condemn anti-semitism and hate crimes against the jews in their city following pro-Palestinian protests.
The Socialist party, Labour Party, Green Party and other left wing groups decided to walk out during the vote, so they didn't have to vote against it but could still prevent it from being adopted. Afterwards they scolded the center/right for 'playing politics' by submitting this motion. The Labour party has their conference this weekend and unlike in the UK where Corbyn and the other Nazis were purged from the ranks, the Dutch Labour party just merged with the Green Party which is very pro-Hamas. I haven't seen any new polls yet. I suspect they'll be decimated but on the other hand the big Dutch TV networks spend about 95% of their time on the plight of Gaza and 5% on the actual 9/11 scale terror attack. Hamas does not dissapoint though, they released some footage showing how they dismantled water pipes donated by the EU to Gaza and used them to create rockets instead. They seem to enjoy their betrayal of the left almost as much as they enjoy killing the jews. I really don't understand why the left hitched their wagon to the baby killing Hamas Nazi squads. Maybe the Vegan SS truely thinks that killing enough babies will save the planet?

These people are so desperate to tie our politics to stupid shit overseas instead of looking at their own missteps. Early on, when this whole thing was being discussed, support for constitutional recognition of Indigenous Australians was well over 60%. However, when they announced that constitutional recognition would be tied to a new advisory body of Parliament for Indigenous Australians, support trended down consistently until today's result. The refusal of the Yes campaign to explain in detail how this new body would work and be formed made people sceptical and killed any chance of a Yes vote succeeding. The No vote was excellently led by two prominent Indigenous Australians who received death threats and actual racism because they opposed the change. Absolute clown show from the Labor Party and democracy wins again. But still, these idiots want to blame racism and Murdoch (who they say is irrelevant all the time) and anything but their own ridiculous proposition. I can't see Albanese surviving a full term at this rate. He's got all the hallmarks of a one-term wonder and he either gets rolled by someone in his own party before the next election or he loses to fucking Peter Dutton who would bring his own bag of shit to the Prime Ministership. Edit: Even in the Northern Territory, where 30.8% of the population is Indigenous, the overwhelming majority voted No (61.7% currently). https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/referendum/2023/results
Looks like New Zealand fucked off its version of smiley face politics.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-14/nz-national-wins-election-defeating-chris-hipkins-and-labour/102976970 Amazing how when people look at the actual long term performance of progressive governments they realise shit just gets worse after the initial sugar rush of free money and benefits. Quote:And in a result that would be particularly stinging for Labour should it lose the seat, National was in a tight race for Ms Ardern's old electorate seat, Mt Albert. Edit: Shit got so bad under NZ Labour that they might even lose Jacinda Arden's old seat just 9 months after she put her tail between her legs and fucked off to greener pastures (before she was pushed).
I don't know what the fuck is wrong with the left on a global level. They are insane in terms of crazy and a lot of people are drinking the kool-aid. Mostly because they have unlimited media propaganda, school "teachers" and NGO activists to brainwash the masses and everyone with a different point of view should be cancelled as a Nazi.
Case in point: Why is Israel attacking the evacuation routes? Well of course they aren't, you dumb fucks but they can't imagine an evil death cult is actually evil and not forced to do evil because of the scheming jews Good luck bois, destroy Hamas and free Gaza and the hostages. Let's Make Gaza Great Again
The center left parties are being wedged by the far left green/communist sympathiser movement in the West. Idiots who pine for authoritarianism (as long as it is their type of authoritarianism and NOT the other side's).
The same way the center right parties are being wedged by the far right/fascist sympathiser movement in the West. Idiots who pine for authoritarianism (as long as it is their type of authoritarianism and NOT the other side's).
More fucking bullshit from these dickhead No campaigners...
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-15/indigenous-voice-referendum-result-anthony-albanese-peter-dutton/102977398 Quote:But senior figures in the Yes campaign offered a scathing assessment of the No campaign. No, not dead. Just not going to happen in a way that you want to force on others. The fact that a significant proportion of Indigenous people disagreed with this proposal is evidence enough that it was the wrong way to go about it. Quote:She forecasted it would be at least two decades before Australians were "capable of putting their colonial hatred behind them and acknowledging that we exist" More absurd statements from a complete clown. We know you exist. We're reminded every day through excessive performative acknowledgements of country, through superficial performative pity parties and the constant reinforcement of the supposed guilt we must feel. The early opinion polls showed that people were overwhelmingly in support of recognising the special place of indigenous people in Australian society. They just didn't agree with the ridiculous idea of enshrining a voice to Parliament in the constitution. The Yes campaign's unwillingness to give any detail on how this would work or why it would be any different to previous massive failures was the biggest weapon the No campaign had in its arsenal. The No campaign could have done nothing else and still would have won because the Yes campaign was just that bad. As far as "colonial hatred" goes. Get fucked. Immigrant communities overwhelming voted against this proposal. We're not colonisers. We faced our own racism. We're generally sympathetic to indigenous causes. The proposal was just shit. Quote:and accused No campaigners of "poisoning" Australians against the Voice. This is where the Yes campaign (and the left in general) just consistently fucked up its messages. Disagreeing with you isn't "poisoning" anybody. This whole "with us or against us" attitude of the left is what's poisoning people against your message. No one, especially everyday Australians, likes a holier than thou arsehole who admonishes others for the crime of thinking differently. They keep accusing others of adopting American Republican political tactics, but the only ones who resemble Republicans are the left (think 1980s Republican behaviors).

Send this to anyone still on the "but Israel" side of things. Maybe we can save some of them
https://www.thefp.com/p/daniel-pearl-cousin-hamas-idealism Quote:my older cousin, Daniel Pearl, an investigative journalist for The Wall Street Journal, was kidnapped and beheaded by Islamist jihadis Quote:Even after what my family had been through, their work encouraged me to be idealistic and believe that the Jewish people could make peace with our neighbors Quote:Why did the left—who supposedly stood up for human rights—put child-murdering Hamas terrorists on a pedestal? Quote:I agreed that the settlements were unlawful, that Gaza was a humanitarian crisis, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyuahu was a dictator. I assumed—if I cared enough, if I mourned for the Palestinian dead, if I put nuance above all else—our neighbors and their allies would give us the same decency. Quote:I saw the true face of Palestinians and their allies. All around the world, they celebrate. They gloat. They mock our tears. They do not protest against Hamas. They embrace pure evil. Quote:To friends who dare justify what has happened, you are not friends. You are nothing but Nazi supporters dressed up in leftist intellectual language. To the Palestinians: you have lost all moral authority to claim victimhood.
