I thank the U.S. and President Biden for standing firmly by our side even today.

China's representative to the Security Council:

We regret Washington's use of veto against a draft resolution calling for a ceasefire despite the continuing massacres. Condoning the continuation of the fighting contradicts the claim of concern for the lives and safety of people in Gaza.

Russian representative at the UN:

But the focus for now is on assembling a maritime coalition to secure the Red Sea — a conduit for 12% of world trade and the bulk of Middle East energy supplies to Europe.

The Houthis would not have been able to carry out the attacks without “significant” military and intelligence support from Iran, he said.

They are not human beings, not even humanoid animals. They need to be treated as such. They are Muslim Nazis.

What do you think should be the punishment for the hundreds of Amalekites (the people described in the Torah as the enemies of the Israelites), the Muslim Nazis?

King's post was removed from X after a while on the grounds that it violated community rules.
