Kyrie Irving was asked about his offer to pay the $11,941 fine of Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, who wrote the name of a Palestinian girl killed in Gaza on his eye black: "It's a selfless act when you can show up for others that don't necessarily have a voice for themselves."

Israel spent two years claiming that they had no troops in the area, only to finally admit the truth a few months ago.
Makes you wonder what else they're lying about

Everything. They're lying about everything.

Literally

If there is still people seeing our country as blue or red then you are way behind on what’s really going on.

Not much to wonder about. If you actually watch Israeli media, everything they lie about in English is truthfully spoken out loud in Hebrew

The best was when X stopped showing auto-translate under Hebrew tweets.

Ben Gvir is a monster who doesnt even try to hide it. Gross that our tax dollars goes to help him achieve his ambition
8. u/Impressive_Chard7943 · 2026-10-22 18:07 UTC
Don't forget Bezalel Smotrich, the current Finance Minister.
Bibi's government is a coalition of his own party (Likud), and the parties led by Ben-Gvir and Smotrich. Here is a nice blurb about Smotrich from Wikipedia, a literal far-right terrorist.
According to former Shin Bet deputy chief Yitzhak Ilan, who interrogated him at the time, during the protests against the Israeli disengagement from Gaza, Smotrich was arrested in 2005 while in possession of 700 litres of gasoline on suspicion of participating in an attempt to blow up Ayalon Highway), a major arterial road. He was held in jail for three weeks but not charged after refusing to speak.\13])\14])\15]) This account was corroborated by Dvir Kariv, who was an agent with Shin Bet at the time.\16])

Remember when they showed where accounts were based, and a bunch of “American” conservatives were outed as based in Israel and Russia
10. u/Impressive_Chard7943 · 2026-10-22 18:03 UTC
yes and India lmao
11. u/goodellsmallcock · 2026-10-22 18:06 UTC
Just like how a ton of “Palestinian” accounts were exposed for also being based out of place nowhere near Palestine, like Russia, UK, China etc. color me shocked that our enemies are playing both sides to sow divide
12. u/Choice-Strike1 · 2026-10-22 18:21 UTC
Some of it makes sense when you think of the fact that the Palestinian people have been perennial refugees for decades now so different countries took them in at different eras
13. u/GorgoniteEmissary · 2026-10-22 18:25 UTC
Unfortunately that is kinda cope. The accounts are not posting from these countries because they are Palestinians that have moved any more than they are posting because they are Israelis that moved. Just because you agree with a side doesn’t mean that side isn’t also botted.

I mean they lied about the intelligence of the initial attack itself and the captured hostages.
Bibi knew the attack was coming and did not care because it would galvanize the country towards his mission and because the target were a bunch of left wing Israelis.

And we now know Hamas had an immediate offer in place to release the hostages and Bibi rejected it. Again, he did not care at all about the people murdered or taken hostage. He wanted political capital. He milked the hostages.

As an American Jew, Netanyahu is an evil person who makes Israel and Jews less safe.

Surprised this comment is still up after 16 minutes!

Same. Im surprised it hasn’t been pinned to the front page yet.
17. u/sleepy416 · 2026-10-22 18:08 UTC
I don’t wonder. I know not to trust anything that comes out of that “country”
18. u/press_Y · 2026-10-22 17:47 UTC
Absolutely crazy that he got fined for that
19. u/Sharcbait · 2026-10-22 17:58 UTC
To play devils advocate he got fined for writing on the eyeblack, the message was unimportant.
Players have been fined for Bible verses, they have been fined for support for loved ones, I am pretty sure Cam Heyward got fined for writing his dad's nickname on the eyeblack after his dad passed.
Choosing to be outraged because of the message ignores that ALL messages are banned.
20. u/uncledr3w- · 2026-10-22 18:01 UTC
ok but all of that is crazy
