Hamas praises "heroic resistance spirit in our people" after Palestinian terrorists shot & wounded 7 Israelis returning from Chanukah candle lighting; 21-year-old pregnant woman in critical condition; her baby was delivered by hospital. Last week, the UN refused to condemn Hamas. https://t.co/TkO9U5h4vV

No joke: the @Guardian is equating today's terrorist murder of two Israelis with killing of "two Palestinians"—the terrorists who murdered the baby Amiad Ish-Ran on Sunday, the other who murdered 29-year-old Kim Yehezkel & Ziv Hajbi, 35, in October. https://t.co/W8xO4GOj9d pic.twitter.com/NPFSuL4r7T

.@saribashi Your heart? A person with a heart would just condemn this Palestinian shooting of pregnant mother, baby, father & 4 other Israelis. Yet with all your disingenuous disclaimers, you painted these victims as complicit in a "war crime." And this is your heartless M.O. ⬇️ https://t.co/0Uz4dIkyuK

China puts 1 million Muslim Uyghurs in camps.
🇹🇷 Why is Turkey's President Erodgan—who claims to care for this Turkic-speaking people—silent?
🇸🇦 Why are the 56 Muslim states—who claim to care about Muslims—silent?
🇺🇳 Why is the United Nations—and its Human Rights Council—silent? https://t.co/hixTasJxPw— Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) December 13, 2018
Jailed for his Facebook posts criticizing Iran's Supreme Leader, Vahid Sayadi Nasiri has just died after a 60-day hunger strike. Every city in the world with an Iranian embassy or consulate should name the street it's on after Vahid Sayadi Nasiri. https://t.co/21ESINLqpD
