Europe gets tougher on Putin. It slashed the oil price cap to $47.60, kicked 22 Russian banks out of SWIFT, sanctioned Chinese and Indian entities for helping Putin, and permanently blocked Nord Stream revival WSJ: Trump must follow with 500% oil tariffs, $300B in asset 1/
The UN is providing material support to terrorists. Think about that. Let it sink in.
Hamas relies on UN and other so called "humanitarian" organizations to remain in power, and these are an abysmal moral failure. Without the likes of @UNRWA, Hamas would be out of business and with no ability to oppress civilians or wage war against Israel.

UAE joined the Abraham Accords and still got denied F-35s. But Turkey—run by Islamist regime, buyer of S-400s, hostile to Israel—gets the green light? Do we want Turkish pilots dogfighting Israelis in our F-35s? No jets until Turkey makes peace with Israel and dumps Putin.
A way for the U.S. to fend off Turkey's requests for the F-35s?

Thoughts from @therealBehnamBT: "Iran’s latest SLV test is proof positive that after the 12-Day War, its calculus has not changed. The Islamic Republic remains committed to using its space program to mask its quest for longer-range strategic weapons that get around its…

Iran’s “space program” is nothing more than a ridiculous charade designed to hide their efforts to develop long-range ballistic missiles to attack America and our allies. Don’t be fooled by their propaganda. apnews.com/article/iran-s…
🎥 WATCH: 950 trucks worth of aid, currently waiting in Gaza❗️for international organizations to pick up and distribute to Gazan civilians. This is after Israel facilitated the aid entry into Gaza.
We’ve seen this a thousand times and we’ll see it a thousand more. There is nothing anyone can do for Gaza that Hamas won’t undo. If a ceasefire comes, as I hope it will, Hamas will use it to plan more of this same kind of war. If GHF collapses and all aid returns to UN hands,…
Hamas's secret police (Sahm/arrow unit) is turning up the heat against starving civilians in Gaza. It arrested a group of men who received food boxes from a GHF site in Rafah, only to steal their food parcels, beat, and strip them naked. According to those who were arrested,…
This is deeply wrong on multiple levels. The United States and every democratic country should condemn any foreign arrest of a citizen based solely on politically motivated, third-party accusations of war crimes, especially when there is no connection to the detaining country.…
🔴 Deeply troubling: Two Israelis — an IDF soldier and a civilian — were detained in Belgium after an anti-Israel NGO accused them of war crimes. They were in the country as tourists attending the Tomorrowland music festival. Belgian authorities acted on the complaint under a…
Erdogan’s guy in Syria Abu Amsheh just massacred 2,000 Druze, over the weekend. And Erdogan lectures others about massacres.
“Netanyahu and his massacre network have long surpassed Hitler in barbarity. Even during the Holocaust in Europe, scenes as inhumane as those in Gaza did not emerge,” says Turkish leader Erdogan in a shocking statement.
Graham: The game’s changed, Putin. You played Trump and made a mistake. Ukraine's getting armed, your economy’s getting crushed. China, India, Brazil: keep buying Putin’s oil, and Trump will tariff the hell out of you. It’s blood money and this ends now. 1/

The number of @nytimes articles linking Israel to genocide were 9X higher than the peak for Rwanda, where 800,000 people were slaughtered in 100 days. In an interview with @thefp, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee describes antisemitism as a virus that evolves to scapegoat…
