Este ano o X considerou a minha conta a mais influente das contas portuguesas pró-Israel. Agora, mantenho a posição no X e no Facebook alcancei o lugar de segunda conta mais influente a seguir à página institucional da Embaixada de Israel. O trabalho compensa mas provei algo que apostei há três anos quando a seguir ao ataque do 7 de Outubro comecei a escrever diariamente sobre o conflito — que iria impor-me pelos meus textos, análises e investigações. Não publico vídeos no Tik Tok e afins, não partilho a minha vida privada, não encontram fotos minhas de bikini e não tenho sponsors nem parcerias com marcas. Ainda assim, aqui chegámos. Raramente sou convidada para ir à televisão, é recorrente na imprensa falarem sobre assuntos que são investigados ou analisados por mim mas não mencionam o meu nome nem tenho convites para escrever. Mas isto não é uma queixa, pelo contrário. A minha conta maior no Facebook foi encerrada por denúncias, abri outra e muito mais pessoas seguem agora do que antes. Publico num jornal internacional e um texto meu tem mais leitores e feedback que uma edição diária de qualquer jornal português. Investigações minhas apareceram na imprensa internacional nos últimos dois anos e pessoas que o comum dos mortais dariam um rim para conhecer enviam-me mensagens. Isto diz tudo sobre o assunto, as pessoas desconfiam e evitam a imprensa mainstream cada vez mais e apostam em novas vozes. Pelo meio, entre várias viagens, passei cerca de um ano em Israel, onde estive no terreno, fiz trabalho voluntário, dos kibbutzs às bases militares e com os sobreviventes do festival Nova. Acredito que tudo tem um propósito na nossa vida, temos de manter o foco, razão e o coração alinhados, principalmente em momentos sombrios como os que vivemos. Conseguir trazer a @StandWithUsPort para Portugal foi uma vitória, finalizar a escrita de um livro sobre a guerra no Médio Oriente outra. Agora é tempo de alcançar outros marcos e avançar para outro tipo de comunicação mais ambicioso. Subscrevam a minha conta no X e no Facebook e partilhem, façam também a diferença.

The co-pilot’s name, Hamam Al Hammami, means 'bathroom of the bathroom dweller'. Maybe he doesn’t hate the Jews, the name is reason enough for a suicide terrorist attack.

There are so many messages here. Two posts appeared Wednesday on the LinkedIn profile of pilot Hamam al-Hammami, hours after he allegedly tried to hijack and crash FlyDubai Flight 1073. Both were later deleted. It is unclear who published them or whether they had been scheduled in advance. According to CNN, the first post was a montage of cockpit footage from a Boeing 737 Max — the same aircraft type involved in the diversion to Saudi Arabia. One clip, geolocated to Dubai International Airport, zooms in on an El Al plane. The cockpit display shows flight OMA624 on October 11, 2023, matching a typical Dubai–Muscat route and the period when al-Hammami worked for Oman Air. Other clips show additional El Al aircraft and one from Arkia, another Israeli airline. The video ends with photos of Ayman al-Zawahiri, who led al-Qaeda after Osama bin Laden, and Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, an al-Qaeda loyalist who killed nine people, including seven CIA officers and contractors, in a 2009 suicide bombing. The second post shows an AI-generated image of Islam’s three holiest sites — Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem — joined by a glowing trail, with a defiant poem in the background about rejecting humiliation, not fearing death, and defending one’s dignity.

AMMALE was born on 7 October 2023 at the Grand Mosque of Paris, on the same day that Hamas invaded Israel. Months later, on 31 May 2024, the Coordination Council registered in the European Union Transparency Register as an interest representative, under the code 104923392230-05. The registration formalised what the statutes already announced — influencing European institutions, defending the rights of the Muslim minority, and coordinating legal political action in Brussels and in the capitals. It is not a party, but a religious structure with a lobbying vocation, funded around the Grand Mosque of Paris and with its headquarters also announced in the Belgian capital. The calls to vote were concrete and public. In April and May 2024, Chems-eddine Hafiz, rector of the mosque and president of AMMALE, urged French Muslims, and in particular the Algerian diaspora, to register on the electoral rolls and vote in the June European elections against the far right. After the victory of the Rassemblement National, he repeated the appeal in the snap legislative elections to 'firmly oppose' the RN. Vice-president Abdassamad El Yazidi, linked to the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, summed up the line — mobilising the electorate to prevent states from 'turning against the founding values of Europe'. They did not field their own lists, they ran a tactical-voting campaign. Hafiz’s political ties did not begin in 2023. In April 2022 he organised a 'republican iftar' at the mosque in support of Emmanuel Macron’s re-election, with Christophe Castaner and other figures from the majority. In July of that year, Macron promoted him to officer of the Legion of Honour. At the same time, the Franco-Algerian rector chaired in France the support committee for Abdelmadjid Tebboune in the Algerian presidential elections and is described, by critics and by a former French ambassador in Algiers, as a channel of influence for the Algerian regime. On the other side of the spectrum, RN deputy Julien Odoul accused him of foreign interference and questioned the Ministry of the Interior about Algerian funding of the mosque. The picture that emerges is of an organisation that combines a discourse of 'moderate' Islam and European citizenship with explicit electoral intervention and a president accustomed to moving between the Élysée and Algiers. AMMALE did not elect any deputies. What it did secure was a formal place in Brussels’ influence machine and a megaphone to steer the Muslim vote against the radical right — while its leader cultivates privileged relations with the French centre of power and with the Algerian authorities. The coincidence of the founding date with 7 October did not arise in a vacuum.
While Hamas invaded Israel and murdered 1,200 people in the October 7 attack, on the same day an event at the Grand Mosque of Paris brought together important Muslim religious figures. The mosque, imposing with its 33-meter minaret, the largest in France and the third largest in Europe, was founded in October 1926 in the 5th arrondissement, Paris’s oldest neighborhood, after the First World War in gratitude to the roughly 100,000 Muslim soldiers from the French colonies who died fighting Germany. Perhaps because of its historical importance, the Paris mosque was chosen as the venue for the inaugural general assembly of the Coordinating Council of the Alliance of Mosques, Muslim Associations and Leaders of Europe (AMMALE). Muslim leaders from seventeen European countries were the founding members of the Alliance’s Coordinating Council, which aims to expand and include other representatives and individuals from backgrounds beyond the religious sphere. The general assembly adopted a joint resolution as the basis for its future commitments and actions, signed by Chems-eddine Hafiz, rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris and president of AMMALE’s Coordinating Council. The resolution, published the following day, October 8, while Israel was still neutralizing the last invading terrorists on its territory and had not yet been able to count the bodies, is clear in its aims: 'To demonstrate the spirit of solidarity among European Muslims, who have inherited the true Islam of moderation. To unite, around the Grand Mosque of Paris, individuals who share common human and spiritual values. At the same time, to chart a course for a peaceful and integrated Islam in every country on the continent, showing how Muslim citizens are an integral part of its history, present and prosperous future. AMMALE will work to address the various challenges related to the organization, representation and practice of Islam in Europe. The focus will be on strengthening religious institutions, promoting the educational, charitable, culturally enriching and interfaith-dialogue missions entrusted to mosques, combating extremist tendencies, spreading an Islam that preaches peace, kindness and fraternity, and fighting anti-Muslim acts and rhetoric.' But AMMALE, which means 'hope' in Arabic, also has other purposes. It intends to 'unite the voices and efforts of Muslim institutions and personalities across Europe', fight against the 'far right' that forces 'European states to turn against Europe’s founding values', and field candidates for the European Parliament. And indeed they did so in the subsequent European elections. In fact, October 7 did not happen in a vacuum, and the date shared by so many events is no coincidence.

Amazing. The Flydubai co-pilot accused of stabbing his captain had previously been barred from flying in Oman over concerns about radical ideological views, the WSJ reports. He was later hired by Flydubai despite the ban.

Treasury Department dismantles Hamas financing network The U.S. Department of Justice announced coordinated arrests and charges aimed at dismantling a Hamas terror-finance network that raised money from the United States. According to the announcement, the operation targets people who used purported charitable appeals—often framed as humanitarian aid for Gaza—to collect and move funds to Hamas. The action is part of a broader U.S. effort also announced. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control designated a Gaza-based member of Hamas’s military wing, Saleem Abdallah Saleem al-Zaq, along with France-based fundraisers and related entities, for a multi-year scheme that moved more than $2 million to Hamas through sham charities and cryptocurrency, much of it after the October 7, 2023 attacks. Parallel law-enforcement steps, led by the FBI and involving partners such as the NYPD and French authorities, included an unsealed indictment against al-Zaq and arrests in the United States and France of individuals accused of contributing to or operating the network.

How did Europe become so weak and blind? Europe did not become weak overnight. Decades of low birth rates, elite consensus against cultural assertion, and a habit of treating mass immigration as a moral good rather than a demographic and political fact left large parts of the continent unable to enforce basic order. The result is visible this week in France. The student unrest that began in late September over school conditions—overcrowding, missing teachers, decaying buildings—has turned into street violence concentrated in the banlieues. More than a thousand lycées have been affected, roughly 220 blockaded on the peak day, and about 400 secondary schools closed on Friday. Interior Ministry figures put arrests near or above 2,000 since the escalation, the large majority teenagers. Hundreds of police officers have been injured (305 reported on Thursday alone in some counts), education staff injuries include dozens of headteachers. Officials now call it urban violence rather than a school protest, and have pointed to far-left agitation, including France Unbowed, as a factor that widened the disorder. The worst incidents of the last few days include several fires in schools, staff at Victor Hugo high school in Marseille reportedly splashed with petrol, videos of teachers being attacked by students, mortar-style fireworks fired at police lines, fencing torn down, shops looted in places, and public-transport disruptions in Marseille and Strasbourg after vandalism and threats. Seine-Saint-Denis has been a centre of the blockades and clashes. That department’s demographics are not a secret, large North African and sub-Saharan populations, high concentrations of Muslim residents, and a long record of riots when order frays. The immediate grievances cited by many pupils are real—leaking ceilings, absent teachers, overcrowded classes. The methods (arson against schools, attacks on staff, fireworks used as weapons) match patterns seen in earlier French urban violence more than they match ordinary student politics. The comparison with Iran in 1979 is inevitable. In Iran, leftist and Islamist factions cooperated against the Shah. Once the clerics took power, many of these leftists were imprisoned or executed. In Western Europe, the existing parallel is political in nature — sectors of the radical left treated Islamic or communitarian networks as allies against the liberal state, policing the discourse on integration while simultaneously downplaying the patterns of criminality, parallel norms, and antisemitic incidents associated with these same groups. It is likely that the pact will end the same way, witnessing the hell that is unfolding on the streets of France now. The left wanted its own private army to command. It will be devoured by the force it created. Photo from @visegrad24 — Students film a French firefighter after setting him on fire during the school protests in Bordeaux
