Bibi responds to false claims by former POTUS Bozo about Israel stealing Palestinian land


JERUSALEM — In a stunning development that shocked absolutely no one, local man Barack Obama took a brief pause from his busy schedule of giving multimillion-dollar lectures to fly to Belfast and explain to the Middle East how it has been doing history wrong for the past four millennia.

Speaking to journalist Susan McKay, the former American president bravely solved the complex geopolitical puzzle of the Levant by reducing it to a real estate dispute. According to Obama, the primary error of the Jewish state was failing to realize that living in your ancestral homeland is actually just a bad vibe for the neighbors.

"The fact is that the Jewish people, for millennia, were oppressed, discriminated against, killed," Obama said, laying the groundwork for a pivot. "Europe was responsible for much of it. They understandably sought a refuge."

However, Obama noted that once the refugees actually showed up, set down roots, and decided not to be exterminated, the local populations understandably responded by saying, "This is injustice, and I want my land back." He further warned that if Israel’s attitude is simply ensuring its own survival instead of surrendering to its neighbors, it has unfortunately ceded moral ground to people who chant "Death to America."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasted no time addressing the former president's geographical critique, taking to X/Twitter to remind the world where things actually stand.

"The Jewish people are not foreign occupiers in the land of our forefathers," Netanyahu said. "Our history is not a colonial enterprise. Our land is not stolen land. This is our homeland."

Netanyahu characterized the Belfast remarks as a regrettable statement, gently pointing out the fundamental difference between ancient indigenous populations and European expansionism.

"We're not the Dutch in Indonesia... the Belgians in the Congo, we're Jews in Judea," he noted, presumably waiting for someone to check a map of the Roman Empire.

Addressing the actual mechanics of peace, Netanyahu pointed out a minor speed-bump in the negotiation process: the people currently screaming "Death to Israel" and "Death to America."

"Regarding the path to a peace agreement, Netanyahu said that the obstacle to peace is not Israel, but rather the enemies in the region shared by Israel and the United States," officials confirmed, highlighting an ongoing refusal by hostile regimes to recognize a Jewish state inside any boundary whatsoever.

"We are the 'Little Satan,' you are the 'Great Satan,'" Netanyahu added, summarizing the warm diplomatic overtures frequently received from Tehran while noting that both nations remain tasked with defending a common civilization.

"A peace built on illusions will crash against the rocks of Middle Eastern reality," Netanyahu concluded. "Israel will not gamble with its survival to accommodate those who refuse to accept the facts of history, to accept our right to exist, or who wish to appease terror."

"We certainly do not; we never will."

Meanwhile, Obama urged the citizens of Israel to completely rethink their future strategy by abandoning walls and finding a more moral way to defend themselves, such as politely asking hostile actors to please stop trying to wipe them out.

Belfast Erupts After Sudanese Asylum Seeker Charged in Brutal Stabbing That Left Man Blinded


Europe's migration crisis has once again exploded into the streets.

Northern Ireland descended into chaos after a Sudanese asylum seeker was charged with attempted murder in a savage knife attack that left a Belfast man blinded in one eye, triggering nights of riots, arson, and renewed questions about immigration and border security.

Hadi Alodid, 30, appeared Wednesday by video in Belfast Magistrates' Court after prosecutors alleged he viciously attacked Stephen Ogilvie late Monday night in north Belfast. According to prosecutors, the assault left Ogilvie blind in his left eye.

Alodid faces charges of attempted murder, threatening to kill a radiographer, and possessing a knife. Using an Arabic interpreter, he declined legal representation and entered no plea. He was ordered held in custody.

The attack occurred shortly after 10:30 p.m. Monday and was captured on graphic video that quickly spread across social media. Police said Ogilvie, a man in his 40s, suffered severe injuries to his face, neck, back, and eyes. Investigators recovered what they believe was a kitchen knife at the scene.


Video circulating online also showed members of the public confronting the suspect, with one bystander using a hurling stick. PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson praised those who intervened, calling them "heroic" and crediting their actions with helping save Ogilvie's life.

Authorities said Alodid entered Northern Ireland from the Republic of Ireland in 2023, applied for asylum, and received a five-year permit to remain. Police initially identified him as Somali before later correcting his nationality to Sudanese.

Henderson also sought to tamp down speculation about the motive, saying investigators had "no information to suggest that this was a terrorist-related incident" and that police were not searching for additional suspects.

That did little to calm public anger.

Violence erupted across Belfast as masked rioters torched homes they believed were occupied by immigrants, set fire to garbage bins, burned a city bus, and hurled projectiles at police officers. Firefighters rescued multiple people trapped inside burning homes as authorities declared a critical incident and surged additional officers into affected neighborhoods amid fears of further unrest.

The violence highlighted the deep tensions simmering over immigration throughout the United Kingdom.


Belfast resident Anselme Shima, originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, described the fear gripping immigrant communities.

"I've lived on my street for almost 10 years, I have a good relationship with my neighbors, but last night was a horrific one," he told Reuters. "We don't know what to do. I'm scared. Seeing this, I'm wondering if I'm next."

Northern Ireland's political leaders condemned the riots.

First Minister Michelle O'Neill of Sinn Fein called the violence "thuggery."

"Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice," she said.

Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly of the Democratic Unionist Party added that "taking frustration at the evil actions of a person out on those who had no part in it is utterly wrong."

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also weighed in, denouncing both the stabbing and the riots.

"The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable," Starmer wrote on X. "There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere. It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it."

The unrest gained momentum online through anti-immigration activists, including Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson.

Meanwhile, the attack has reignited debate over the largely open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Some lawmakers argue the case demonstrates the need to reassess cross-border movement, though the issue remains politically explosive because unrestricted travel is a cornerstone of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement that helped end decades of sectarian violence known as "The Troubles."

Much of the rioting occurred in working-class neighborhoods where former paramilitary organizations still retain influence.


The Belfast stabbing also arrives as Britain continues grappling with the political fallout from another high-profile knife attack.

Last week, Vickrum Digwa was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 21 years for murdering freshman student Henry Nowak in Southampton in December 2025. Digwa, a Sikh man, falsely claimed to police that Nowak had carried out a racist attack against him. Officers initially treated the severely wounded Nowak as the suspect before realizing he was the victim and attempting to save his life.

The murder sparked national debate over policing, race, and public safety. Protests following the killing also turned violent, with demonstrators attacking officers using chairs and rocks. Multiple participants were later charged with violent disorder.

With Belfast now engulfed in unrest following another gruesome knife attack involving an asylum seeker, immigration and public safety are once again front and center in Britain's increasingly heated political debate.

Belfast goes thermal after Sudanese migrant arrested in brutal knife attack


In the latest grim chapter of a story that much of Europe has grown wearily familiar with, a Sudanese asylum seeker stands accused of attempting to murder a Belfast man by stabbing him and blinding him in one eye. The attack, captured in horrific graphic footage that spread like wildfire across the internet, has ignited not merely outrage but actual violence on the streets of Northern Ireland, violence that reveals the brittle fault lines beneath the surface of a society long lectured about the blessings of diversity.

Hadi Alodid, 30, charged with attempted murder and possessing a knife after Monday night attack.

First responders rushed to a Belfast neighborhood after violence erupted following a stabbing that seriously injured a local man.

Alodid appeared via video link in Belfast Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, where he was remanded in custody. Prosecutors allege he blinded Stephen Ogilvie in his left eye during the assault. He faces charges of attempted murder, threatening to kill a radiographer, and possessing a knife. 

Speaking through an Arabic interpreter, Alodid declined legal representation and entered no plea.


The assault took place shortly after 10:30 p.m. on Monday in north Belfast. Police describe Ogilvie, a man in his forties, as suffering serious injuries to his face, neck, back, and eyes. A kitchen knife was recovered from the scene. Bystanders, including one wielding a hurling stick, intervened with what PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson rightly called “heroic” action. Their courage, it seems, was all that stood between the victim and a worse fate.

Yet the aftermath has been uglier still. 

Burned-out cars and boarded-up houses now scar McMaster Street in east Belfast. Masked men, acting in the shadows, set fire to homes they believed housed immigrants. They torched bins, attacked a bus, and hurled objects at police. Firefighters had to rescue people from blazing buildings. This is not the ordered protest of concerned citizens; it is the chaos that follows when trust in the authorities has collapsed and communities feel abandoned to their fate.

Authorities initially identified Alodid as Somali before correcting his nationality to Sudanese. He entered Northern Ireland from the Republic in 2023, claimed asylum, and was granted a five-year permit to remain, another reminder of how porous borders and generous asylum policies have reshaped these islands. Henderson insisted there was “no information to suggest that this was a terrorist-related incident.” You got to wonder what definition of terrorism is being employed when knives, blindings, and street disorder become routine features of urban life.

Anselme Shima, a resident originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, captured the fear now stalking ordinary people: “I’ve lived on my street for almost 10 years, I have a good relationship with my neighbors, but last night was a horrific one. We don’t know what to do. I’m scared. Seeing this, I’m wondering if I’m next.”


First Minister Michelle O’Neill of Sinn Féin described the unrest as “thuggery.” “Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice,” she said. 

Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly of the Democratic Unionist Party added: “taking frustration at the evil actions of a person out on those who had no part in it is utterly wrong.” Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the original stabbing “sickening” and condemned the subsequent violence: “The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable. 

There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere. It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it.”

These are fine words, as such statements always are. Yet they arrive after years of policy that has treated mass immigration, chain migration, and lax asylum procedures as moral imperatives rather than experiments with profound and often irreversible consequences. The open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic, central to the fragile peace process that ended “The Troubles”—is now under scrutiny, as it should be. Working-class areas, where former paramilitaries still hold sway, have borne the brunt of this latest disorder.

This case echoes another recent horror: the murder of freshman student Henry Nowak in Southampton last year. Nowak, who was White, was stabbed repeatedly by Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh man who falsely claimed to have been the victim of a racist assault. Police initially treated the dying Nowak as a suspect. Digwa was convicted of murder and sentenced to life with a minimum of 21 years. Such stories accumulate, each one dismissed in isolation by officials desperate to avoid acknowledging a pattern.


The amplification of these events online by figures like Tommy Robinson is predictable. What is less discussed is why such voices find resonance: precisely because the institutions charged with maintaining order have spent years prioritizing narrative over reality. When communities watch their streets change beyond recognition, when stabbings and riots follow in predictable succession, and when the response is platitudes about “thuggery” rather than honest reckoning, unrest is not an aberration, it's the inevitable consequence of elite denial. 

Northern Ireland, like so much of the United Kingdom and Europe, is discovering the hard way that you cannot import large numbers of people from profoundly different cultures, place them under strained welfare systems, and expect social cohesion to magically endure. The bill for that illusion is now being paid in blood and fire.
