As some of our regular readers undoubtedly know, I am involved in a few weekly live tweets on twitter. I host #FridayNightFlix every Friday, I co-host #ScarySocial on Saturday, and I am one of the five hosts of #MondayActionMovie! Every week, we get together. We watch a movie. We tweet our way through it.
Tonight, we’ve got a special Halloween double feature! First up, we’ve got 1977’s Suspiria, directed by Dario Argento and hosted by me!
After Suspiria, we will watch the original Terrifier, starring Art the Clown!
Along the way, we will have tricks, treats, trivia, and prizes! The Halloween season is always fun at #ScarySocial!
If you want to join us on Saturday night, just hop onto twitter, start Suspiria at 9 pm et, and use the #ScarySocial hashtag! The films are available on Prime! I’ll be there co-hosting and I imagine some other members of the TSL Crew will be there as well. It’s a friendly group and welcoming of newcomers so don’t be shy.

Israeli Foreign Policy Against the United Nations
3 Reasons Israel Should Break Off Diplomatic Relations with the UN and Expel It from Israel, Gaza, Samaria, and Lebanon
UN’s Political Bias and Overreach in Israeli Affairs
The UN consistently issues resolutions and reports that reflect anti-Israel bias, creating an environment that treats Israel as if it exists under international oversight or control.
Language in recent UN resolutions mirrors Chapter VII enforcement, even though Israel’s obligations (like UNSCR 242) fall under Chapter VI, requiring peaceful negotiation. The UN’s approach implies it can dictate Israeli policy, undermining Israel’s sovereignty by treating it as a mandate or protectorate territory.
Delegitimization Through Revisionist History and Propaganda
The UN promotes false historical narratives, such as the insistence on a “Palestinian state” that never existed before, while ignoring the fact that the West Bank and Gaza were governed by Jordan and Egypt until 1967.
By endorsing these narratives, the UN not only delegitimizes Israel’s legal and historical claims but also emboldens hostile actors, using diplomatic tools to achieve goals that war failed to accomplish. This rhetoric fuels incitement, destabilizes peace efforts, and encourages violence against Israel.
UN Agencies Undermine Security and Regional Control
UN missions in Lebanon (UNIFIL), Gaza, and the West Bank (such as UNRWA) have been ineffective or biased, failing to curb terrorism while often aiding anti-Israel factions. In Lebanon, UNIFIL has proven incapable of preventing Hezbollah from rearming and preparing for future conflict.
The presence of UN bodies constrains Israel’s ability to act decisively in securing its borders and fighting terrorism. Expelling the UN from these regions would give Israel greater freedom to control strategic areas without interference or international pressure.
Breaking off relations with the UN and expelling its agencies from Israel, Gaza, Samaria, and Lebanon would allow Israel to reassert its sovereignty and pursue its security interests without external interference. The current UN presence serves as a political and operational obstacle to peace by promoting one-sided narratives and legitimizing anti-Israel hostility. Severing ties would also send a message that Israel will not be dictated to by an organization that undermines its existence and security.

So, I finally watched the first “Terrified” – cannot believe it was made for $50k. While perhaps too gory for some, it was a well made shocker and I LOVE that they gave the killer personality!
