The NYT finally has a front-page article on the mass famine sweeping Gaza, but barely mentions the role Israel has played in blockading food from entering. Here's how the Lead Editorial of @haaretzcom today begins: "Gaza is starving, and Israel is responsible."
NEW: After providing James Comey and John Brennan a second-hand hearsay tip weakly supporting their central allegation that Putin helped Trump win the 2016 election, paid informant Oleg Smolenkov suddenly acquired this 6-bdrm, 8,100 sq ft $1 mil estate on 3 acres in Stafford, Va:
It was Israel that inserted Julani into power in Damascus. Netanyahu openly took credit for this.
Isn’t it interesting how as @TuckerCarlson continues his blood libel against Israel on his mission to usher in the next generation of Hitler Youth in America how he hasn’t said a word about Julani’s massacre of Christians and Druze in Syria? He doesn’t care about Christians.…
The claim was that Wiesel was a "distant relative" of Maxwell's. It means pretty much nothing.
The information that Robert Maxwell is a cousin of Elie Wiesel is quite literally from Robert Maxwell’s AUTHORIZED biography, entitled “Maxwell” . It was written by Joe Haines, a journalist who worked for Robert Maxwell’s mirror group and went on to become the Press Secretary to…
Thank you. It was a great discussion.

AOC just last week voted to send $500 million in American taxpayer money to Israel to pay for their air defense system instead of letting Israel pay for it itself, even though Israelis have much higher standards of living than huge numbers of people she nominally represents:
The forced famine of more than 2 million people in Gaza, including one in five children, is the direct result of Israel withholding food aid. The US government must pressure Israel to immediately let in more aid and stop shooting people trying to feed their families before…
Fascinating shift on Israel in the last few days from a very wide range of center-left politicians & voices that had previously defended the country’s conduct

Interestingly, Trump admits here that Israel/US had no interest in negotiating any agreement beyond getting the hostages out. Consequently, as was the case during the negotiations with Iran, Trump was consistently lying when he claimed that "we are close to a deal," that a deal…
Trump signs on to Israel's Final Solution in Gaza: mass starvation, mass death, and mass expulsion of those who survive.
Few phenomena in the world today are capable of arousing such intense feelings of nausea as the sight and sound of US State Department spokeswoman @statedeptspox. Hard to think of torture so excruciating as having to listen to her justify every single Israeli crime, no matter how…
Look at Trump's worshipful face. Is it conceivable that he will ever apply any pressure on Israel? nytimes.com/2025/07/24/us/…
"It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th." What about the tens--perhaps hundreds--of thousands of victims since October 7th? I guess they don't matter.
The United States strongly rejects @EmmanuelMacron’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the @UN general assembly. This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th.
A Time magazine cover with a flattering title is the American establishment’s gold star for loyal service, a reward for toeing the line without question. Meloni undoubtedly deserved it.

I agree with @GeorgeSzamuely that it is not a genocide. Such excessive claims diminish the argument that the Gaza attack exceeds all reasoned justification of self-defense, and undermines the argument you are trying to make.
Just keep repeating the same idiocy, no matter how little sense it makes. Keeps you on CNN, no matter how ridiculous and discredited a figure you are.
Tulsi Gabbard is not competent enough to serve as DNI. She's distracting the public from the Epstein files to try and save her job.
Macron declares France will recognize Palestine at the UN in September. Good. Also: The more Western states talk about Palestine and Gaza, the higher the likelihood that Israel will start another war in the Middle East to change the conversation away from Palestine...
Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.…
The IDF's attempt to blame the World Food Programme for not delivering aid in Gaza is utterly repugnant. Here's the head of the WFP, Cindy McCain, describing the massacre the IDF committed on July 20: the last time they tried to get food to civilians:
The last time the WFP tried to deliver aid, on July 20, the IDF opened fire on aid seekers who swarmed the trucks, killing many. On July 21, they paused deliveries so as not to get more people killed by the IDF. We all watched Israel lead a global campaign to shut down UNRWA…
Gaza is worse than any horror-dystopian movie you can imagine.
!!!!! Israel is flying quadcopters into the tents of starving Palestinians and shooting pregnant women and women breastfeeding their children. This is what the US and Europe have enabled by granting Israel complete impunity.
