NEW EPISODE OUT TODAY 🏴☠️Pirates of Panama🏴☠️ Sir Francis Drake Strikes the Heart of Imperial Spain Who was Captain Morgan, and why is a spiced rum named after him?
Another Hebrew-only Ynet piece—this time by veteran Israeli reporter Ron Ben-Yishai—is more candid and direct than anything printed in English. It lays out how the Israeli government is starving Gaza and killing those desperate enough to seek food.
Imagine what a brainwashed moron you have to be in order to think that every aid agency on earth is lying and only the country slaughtering thousands of children is telling the truth.

We need to stop Israel now or will be too late to save seven million Palestinians from genocide and ethnic cleansing.
The Israeli Knesset has passed a declarative proposal, with a majority of 71 members, calling for the “imposition of Israeli sovereignty” over the West Bank and the Jordan Valley.
You don't get a Nobel Peace Prize for aiding and abetting genocide. If Trump wants one, he should use his enormous leverage to stop Israel's killing and starving of Palestinian civilians and to push for a Palestinian state. I explain in this interview: analystnews.org/posts/trump-co…

For every politician and journalist who supported Israel's onslaught, or stayed silent: This photograph should haunt you for the rest of your life. You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.
