After taking our order, the waiter returned and suddenly asked what language we were speaking. I replied casually, “English and German.” “No, no,” he insisted. “What were you just speaking now?” I answered, “Hebrew, of course.”

He looked me directly in the eye and said, without hesitation: “In that case, leave. I’m not serving you food.” Just like that.

The initial shock and humiliation were profound. But what struck us even more deeply was what came next — or rather, what didn’t. The people around us were clearly startled, some offered sympathetic glances… and then, quietly, they went back to their dinners, their conversations, their wine — as though nothing had happened.

Welcome to Europe, 2025.

Still shaken, we stepped onto the stage that evening, hearts heavy, and sought refuge in the music we love. Performing Dvořák’s Dumky Trio to a completely sold-out hall offered us a rare kind of healing — a fleeting but powerful moment of grace amid the dissonance…

From MEMRI TV. 

In a video posted by Abdullah113438 on X on July 26, 2025, a woman in the Gaza Strip lashed out at the Hamas leadership for conducting negotiations with Israel on full stomachs in an air‑conditioned room. She said that they want the people in Gaza to remain steadfast so they can live in luxury, with their “belly sticking 10 meters out.” She added that if they want the people in Gaza to remain steadfast, they should go be steadfast with them and conduct their negotiations while hungry, while their sons are killed, and while they are thirsty and living in blazing‑hot tents.

From the Telegraph:

Trans activists have called for their community to be “armed” after a Supreme Court ruling barred biological men from women-only spaces.

A protester on the London Trans+ Pride march on Saturday carried placards reading: “DIY or Die. Trans emancipation. Not rainbow capitalism. Arm trans people.”

Another sign read: “Bitch trolls from hell,” with pictures of JK Rowling and the bosses of For Women Scotland, who won the Supreme Court case against the Scottish Government on gender in April.

Showing their true woman-hating colours. If people don't see the trans movement now for what it is, they surely never will.

Helen Joyce, the director of advocacy for human rights charity Sex Matters, which campaigns for clarity about biological sex in law and life, said the signs revealed how “central hatred of women is to trans activism”.

She said: “The reason this movement treats JK Rowling and the grassroots campaigners of For Women Scotland as enemies is simply that they dare to say no to men who want to transgress women’s boundaries.

“One side in this debate stands up for everyone’s rights to safety, dignity and privacy in single sex spaces.

“The other calls for violence against women. It shouldn’t be hard for politicians and public figures to decide which side they are on.”

Shoreditch.

Astonishing. The obsession to demonise Israel has completely compromised the media. They're lying to us. 

And the BBC? Oh yes:

The BBC – as per usual went a step further. The BBC *spoke* to his mother, Huda Yassin Al-Matouq / Mutawwaq – and produced a 64 second interview that somehow failed to disclose that Mohammed was a child born with genetic problems and complex medical dependencies. Even in the BBC video, the mother alludes to this – referencing a prolonged struggle, including physiotherapy sessions that had helped him stand. The curvature of the spine another key clue tying the child to a CP diagnosis. But the BBC narrator never addresses this – leaving the audience to believe the heartbreaking physical condition we are seeing is the result of widespread famine.

This is not journalism. This is the UK’s state media deliberately pushing a deceptive narrative that only serves to benefit Hamas and create fake news.

Christina Lamb in the Sunday Times:

For two long minutes, the gunmen emptied their Kalashnikovs into the car. Inside were six people — five students in their twenties and a schoolboy of 15.

For two long minutes, Ghassan Kordab, 59, and his wife, Raja, 55, sat in the vehicle in front, unable to do anything but watch as their three sons and three nephews were massacred.

“I watched as they shot my sons,” said Kordab. “They shouted, ‘You Druze are pigs!’ then opened fire. They kept shooting for two minutes. I saw flesh flying in the air.

“My wife was screaming, ‘My children! I want my children!’ I didn’t know what to do.”

The gunmen, who the couple insist belonged to Syrian government forces, then dragged the bodies out, stripping them of their rings and mobile phones, even their student backpacks.

The horrific story is one of hundreds in Syria’s southern province of Sweida, home to the country’s Druze minority, which for two weeks has been engulfed in some of the deadliest violence since the Syrian civil war began in 2011….

Not unrelated – from MEMRI TV:

On the backdrop of the current massacres of the Druze in Suwayda, Syria by Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa's forces, Turkey-based Egyptian Islamist scholar Wagdy Ghoneim said in a video that was posted to YouTube by Imam Al-Din Al-Dahdouh on July 19, 2025 that the Druze are infidels and traitors. He said that they had been hiding officers who had served in deposed Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad's army, that they got paid millions for this, that they have been coordinating with the Jews, and that they have attacked Muslims and mutilated their corpses. He prayed that Allah unite the Druze and the Jews in Hell, saying that anybody who can go fight them will be rewarded by Allah. He added: "Pray that Allah enables me to go myself."

One of the signs here is “no LGB without the T”. This is unironically being carried at an event which is entirely devoted to the “T”. I note the Good Laugh Project aren’t showing some of the more recreational misogyny type signs we all saw from this event. Funny that. https://t.co/mQM9cHYcso

That's Joan Smith. A reminder, as Khan bleats on about lovely trans-friendly London. 

ce apart at the end of the nineteenth century – with JK Rowling as Zola.

Alfred Dreyfus’s wrongful conviction for treason in 1894 demonstrated how far senior military and government officials were prepared to cover up the truth and trample on the rule of law for a warped antisemitic ideology.

Émile Zola’s excoriating open letter, J’Accuse, on the front page of L’Aurore on January 13, 1898, highlighted the extent of the institutional corruption. The case was to divide France for three generations.

President Chirac said it tore French society apart, divided families and split the country into two enemy camps. According to Nelly Wilson, a Zola expert and Holocaust survivor, on one side was a fierce nationalism and a temptation to justify almost anything for raisons d’état. On the other was a strong attachment to justice for the individual. Remind you of anything?

It's an interesting comparison. This case does resonate on so many levels – though only time and the eventual tribunal outcome will tell if it comes to occupy a prominent position in the war against gender ideology for future generations to study and ponder.

The Dreyfus case was, fundamentally, a lesson in how injustice can penetrate the highest levels of the state. The Peggie case exposes how little has changed.

When the tribunal ends next week, the focus should be on NHS Fife and those who conducted this witch-hunt, a medical organisation where basic biology is deliberately misunderstood and the only things being doctored are the evidence and the truth.
