What To Do When Facing Those Willing to Gouge Out Their Own Eye Just to Gouge Out Two of Ours?
(Reflections on the Second Intifada and the Present Moment)

Before the massacre of October 7, I remembered the years of the Second Intifada (the one many now wish to see globalized) as…

"Today we ask again: is there any military — or any other — solution to a worldview that prefers self‑destruction, in one form or another, so long as Israel suffers more? I do not yet know exactly how we will overcome this current assault — especially when our leadership is, this time, so dismally cowardly and poor. But I am certain Israelis will find a way. Because at its core, this is a struggle between two ideologies: Palestinism, which will not rest until not a single sovereign Jew remains between the river and the sea; and Zionism, which — despite the ferocity of every assault against it — remains committed to nothing more, and nothing less, than the right of the Jewish people to live as a free nation, in at least part of their historic homeland."

pt”>“It is very sad to see what was basically a well-rounded organisation that covered so many issues of importance to a wide range of doctors being hollowed out by the angry activism around residents’ pay, Gaza and LGBT issues,” says Mark Pickering of the Christian Medical Fellowship, which counts many BMA members in its ranks. “It is very similar to the way Momentum took over the Labour Party from the inside. We saw then how people started using democracy to try to dismantle democracy and that’s what it seems has happened here.

“You had these two groups come in and they all vote for each other… and that’s shifted what happens at the annual meetings, where BMA policy is formed.”

As the union has become ever more of a crucible for Left-wing politics, members appalled by the takeover have begun to leave.

Notably, and unsurprisingly, Jewish doctors. While opposition to the Cass Review was also part of the exciting new BMA look. All part of the omnicause.

It's not just the BMA. The Royal College of Nursing has turned its back on Sandie Peggie. As I noted the other day, it's interesting, given the obvious class element in the NHS Fife case, that not one single trades union that I'm aware of would support Peggie here. And certainly not the RCN. They're all completely behind the gender cause. Such an obvious case of workers' rights under attack from middle-class management, and they all look the other way.

Also this: a nurse racially abused by a trans paedophile, and the RCN's only concern is that she "misgendered" him. 

BREAKING: Jennifer Melle, suspended for whistleblowing how she was disciplined for indirectly ‘misgendering’ a transgender paedophile patient, has accused the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) of abandoning her during the most traumatic period of her life.

"Jennifer was racially abused by the patient and threatened with assault. But it is now Jennifer who has been suspended and is being investigated as a 'risk' to the NHS for not using the patient's preferred gender identity.

"A paying RCN member for 12 years, Jennifer says that when the incident happened the union dismissed her case as not “meritorious” and told her to complete a “reflection” exercise to avoid future ‘misgendering’. She received no support despite the RCN recognising the abuse she experienced."

Those who argue for the chemical sterilisation of minors, who campaign for the eradication of single-sex rape crisis centres and who support male sex offenders in women's prisons have done more damage to the left's credibility than Farage could achieve in 100 years. Own that. https://t.co/Tt373GLl6D

s a girl and never had any desire to be a girl. It was all the mother. Jeff won his case in Texas (and helped get the state to block this abuse) so the mother ran to the child-castrating, sanctuary state of California under @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom .

The boy even told the courts that he doesn't like wearing dresses and doesn't identify as a girl. So the courts went after the father, saying he was "forcing him to be a boy."

California Judge Juhas removed all of Jeff's parental rights and gave the ex-wife full authority to castrate his son, James. Jeff is not allowed any contact with the son without court supervision.

You don't hate the TQIAP+ activists and child-abusing courts, doctors, and politicians enough.

As Annette Bening said, speaking for all those Hollywood mothers, "having a trans kid makes you interesting".

40px”>Josh Newbury, the MP for Cannock Chase, said in a letter it was “clear in my view that trans women are women and that trans men are men”. He said the Supreme Court ruling did not contradict that but that “the misinterpretation of, and fallout from, the ruling has wrongly brought this into question”.

He said: “I do not believe it is morally right for trans people to be excluded from single-sex spaces designated for their gender.”…

Emily Darlington, the MP for Milton Keynes Central, suggested the “far right” was exploiting the issue to sow division. She said: “The UK is increasingly at odds with European peer countries on trans rights, and anti-trans rhetoric is gaining influence in public and policy spheres.”

Or rather: the UK  – "Terf Island" – is ahead of Europe in resisting the trans tide, and insisting on the importance of single-sex spaces for women. Biological real women, that is. 

Labour Women’s Declaration, a group which backs sex-based rights, said the responses were “both disappointing and deeply concerning” and risked leaving the public confused over the party’s position.

A spokeswoman said: “Of particular concern are the number of MPs and peers who are openly saying that the rights of trans people are under threat. This not only calls into question the legitimacy of the Supreme Court judgment which explicitly states the ruling ‘does not remove protection from trans people’, it actively fuels fear within the very community they claim to support.”

She said: “We now call upon the government to maintain their resolve and remind outlier Labour MPs, who seek to push their own agenda, of their duty to uphold the law.”

Maya Forstater, chief executive of the charity Sex Matters, said that leadership was needed so that MPs understood the law.

She said: “Every government has backbench rebels. But when they make dismissive and factually incorrect statements that run directly counter to the government’s stated position, it’s a failure of leadership to let them stand.”

We await Sir Keir's firm and resolute rebuke to these wayward MPs. 

s rape, mass executions, decapitations, etc. that accompanied it). Foley laments “the killing [by the IDF] of innocent people – God’s children” and goes on to decry the “antisemitism” charge voiced by Israel’s defenders by saying, in effect, that Arabs, “Phoenicians” and “Akkadians” are also “semites,” so they can’t be accused of antisemitism.

Yes, we've heard that one before.

The flood of reportage on Gaza’s suffering in the Irish press appears to stake the moral high ground and Irish righteousness. I wonder whether these newspapers devoted a hundredth of their attention to the world’s other humanitarian crises during the past decades, especially crises in which Muslims slaughtered fellow Muslims actually in their hundreds of thousands.

See here for more on antisemitism in Ireland, including the Limerick Pogrom of 1904.

In addition to Britain and France handing HAMAS propaganda that the October 7 pogrom brought progress towards a Palestinian State, HAMAS says it has united Palestinians around the idea violence is the way and thus HAMAS will not surrender even one bullet. https://t.co/dgbUOSspQV

"The clouds that come from the Mediterranean and should enter our country gradually drift toward Turkey and move toward Azerbaijan and Armenia."

Could this not be the work of Allah, showing His displeasure with Tehran, and perhaps demonstrating a preference for Sunni over Shia? Just a thought.

Business as usual elsewhere on MEMRI TV….

• Lebanese Journalist Khoder Taleb on Hizbullah TV: I Wish The Nazis Had Burned All The Jews; This Situation Is Worse Than The Nazi Holocaust.
• Texas Sermon by Yasir Qadhi: Israel Is 'Demonstrably More Evil' Than The Nazis; The U.S. Has Been Taken Hostage By Israel And AIPAC.

People accuse the Jews of "weaponising" the Holocaust, but there's no obsession like the obsession to throw the Holocaust and "genocide" back at the Jews, and Israel.

views about the importance of gender identity and how trans women are women, unlike the gender critical riff-raff.

The event, part funded by public cash, features 700 authors from 35 different countries across the world but has been criticised for ignoring gender critical voices in the books and speakers it is promoting.

The event’s theme this year is ‘Repair’, suggesting an open forum for receiving conflicting views, potentially leading to some form of consensus.

One woman, who bought almost £300 of tickets, questioned why the EIBF had ignored one of Scotland’s most significant books from last year, The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht, but was platforming queer and trans writers and speakers.

In an email response, the CEO said: ‘We appreciate you taking the time to write to us, and acknowledge that you feel that we’ve missed the mark in this situation.

'As you would know as an audience member, we work very hard to ensure that the conversations that happen on our stages are rigorous, informed and fair.

‘As you can see from the range of other challenging topics addressed in the programme, we don’t shy away from difficult conversation.'

Except gender. There's only one side we want to hear from on that particular debate – and it's not yours. Go away.

Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon – a fierce advocate of gender-ID policy – has been handed a speaking slot at the Festival, which runs until 24 August, to launch her as yet unpublished autobiography, ‘Frankly’.

Her former Chief of Staff Liz Lloyd became a director of the event earlier this year.

Well there's a coincidence.

See Ursula Doyle's thread here.

ose activities have raised cause for concern were previously Labour supporters or activists, raising the likelihood that Jeremy Corbyn fans have been migrating to the Greens and changing their culture.

Mothin Ali, wearing a keffiyeh, the scarf symbolic of Palestinian resistance, celebrated his victory in Leeds by raising his arm in the air and saying: “We will not be silenced. We will raise the voice of Gaza. We will raise the voice of Palestine. Allahu akbar!”

Ali was known for stirring up hostility to Rabbi Zacheria Deutsch, the Jewish chaplain at Leeds University, who was advised by police to go into hiding with his wife and two children after death and rape threats. Deutsch, a citizen of Israel, was called up as a reservist with the Israeli Defence Forces after the Hamas massacres of October 7 last year.

Julie Bindel, back in May:

In recent years, the party has gone bonkers: it has become obsessed with supporting policies likely to appeal to idealistic, upper-middle-class sixth formers before they grow up.

Green party candidates have said they want to decriminalise the entire sex trade. The party also wants guidance issued by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling to be withdrawn. Denyer told the BBC this week that the guidance puts trans people at risk of discrimination. But what about women?

They don't care.
