Imagine this.

You’re a Palestinian man walking with your child in Jerusalem.

Then they appear:

IDF soldiers starting to beat you in front of your child.

All because you walked too close to a Jewish-only area.

That is pure apartheid.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market.

In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.

These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.

The trader seemingly made huge gains.

Unusual.

🚨🇵🇰 PAKISTAN: ANOTHER DEMOCRACY HAS JUST FALLEN

Pakistan, one of the world's largest democracies with a population of 240 million people, is down.

This wasn’t a sudden constitutional crisis.

This was Pakistan’s democracy being hollowed out over 2 bruising years - censored, carved, and cornered - until the final blow landed with a smile and the word “reform.”

Before the amendment, there was the erasure.

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s name vanished from TV broadcasts. Anchors LITERALLY spoke in metaphors. Newsrooms tiptoed around a former prime minister as if he were Voldemort with a cricket bat.

You were banned from mentioning the name of the former Prime Minister on TV.

PTI - once the country’s largest party - became a case study in political disassembly:

Its election symbol removed, atomizing its vote.

Leaders jailed, disappeared, or forced into televised “confessions.”

Its digital teams raided, equipment seized, channels throttled.

It’s leader Imran Khan cut off from visitors, even his own sisters relying on scraps of information.

February 2024’s election turned into a scavenger hunt where voters didn't know which “independent” candidate was actually theirs.

And all of this happened before the amendment that broke the camel’s back.

Then came the moment Pakistan crossed a line it can’t uncross.

The constitution wasn’t just amended - it was reprogrammed, rerouting power like a circuit board and plugging it straight into one man:

Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir.

Lifetime immunity. Expanded command.

A “constitutional court” designed and assembled by the executive, replacing the Supreme Court on constitutional matters.

Not a coup. Something subtler.

A firmware upgrade for permanent military primacy.

The UN says: accountability gutted, separation of powers collapsing, judicial independence replaced by “press 1 for constitutional review.”

Islamabad’s answer? Relax. It’s "modernization."

Just like how cutting the brakes is “modernizing the vehicle.”

PTI - speaking through prison bars and VPN livestreams - calls the new court what it is: a conveyor belt engineered to process one man.

If you can’t beat Imran Khan at the ballot box, you bend the entire constitutional structure until it snaps into a shape that can.

And the government insists this isn’t Ayub, Zia, or Musharraf all over again.

But when generals start receiving lifetime immunity, those ghosts don’t whisper - they crash the party.

Expect 3 things:

A deep freeze on dissent – not loud, not flashy, just… clinical.

A judiciary split against itself, with resignations turning into open revolt.

A political vacuum if Khan stays locked up - and vacuums in Pakistan never stay empty; they get filled by the same institution that now has immunity baked into its constitution.

Pakistan calls this a “hybrid system.” Hybrid between what and what?

Democracy and the terms & conditions.

And in the fine print: The army wins by default.

I have over 12,000 videos on my phone.

There are over 800,000 videos of IDF war crimes against civilians, women and children.

You are not getting away with this. I promise.

So now Israel’s Parliament can be aired on Pakistan media, but Pakistan’s biggest political party PTI and its leader Imran Khan remain censored.

🚨 TODAY: settlers and army assault village in West Bank

This morning at approximately 10 A.M in the village of Ras al Ein, a group of Israeli settlers, some of whom were under the age of 18, began attacking Palestinian infrastructure. Settlers attempted to dig up multiple buried water pipes, trespassed on Palestinian properties, and began assaulting activists. With them, settlers brought children as young as toddlers to witness and support the violence.

Shortly after the attack began, Israeli security forces from nearby settlements, along with police, and military personnel responded to the scene. Upon arrival, security forces accused activists of participating in illegal activity and detained them en-masse for nearly three hours. During this time, Ahmed Jahaleen, a local Palestinian man was kidnapped by Israeli military personnel and transported to a local military base. He was released later in the evening.

While detained, police officers demanded that all activists present identification. One activist, Dean Talkoff, a dual Israeli-American citizen, demanded that officers produce a justification for the request. In response, police officer Offir Aharonovitch brutally assaulted the activist. Aharonovitch punched Dean in the face, choked him, and repeatedly slammed his body into rocks. Dean endured multiple assaults before being forced into a police vehicle and transported to Shaar Binyamin jail. He has not been released.

These assaults are just the most recent events in an escalating pattern of settler violence in the village of Ras Al Ein. The village is largest remaining Bedouin community in the Southern Jordan Valley, and following the complete ethnic cleansing of the neighboring village of Muarrajat, has become a prime target of settler gangs. Currently, Ras al Ein is surrounded by multiple illegal outposts where over the last eighteen months, settlers and their supporters in local security forces, have mounted an increasingly violent campaign of terror designed to expel the Palestinian community from the area. Dean Talkoff is the fourth activist in the last month to be seriously injured in a settler-led assault.

The Settlers, the doc I made for the BBC, is now available to stream in the US on BBC Select. It couldn’t be more timely with the announcement today that the Israeli govt has approved construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank - which are illegal under international law.
