Legendary journalist Seymour Hersh claims that an Administration insider leaked information to him that Trump raised the possibility of using U.S. nuclear weapons in Iran.
Section 224 has gotten attention. Section 622 hasn't, but it should.
Buried in the 192-page Senate intelligence authorization bill is a provision that would require US intelligence agencies to share classified intelligence on virtually every topic of Middle East interest with Israel.
Any pause or reduction would require congressional approval from a Congress that has shown little appetite for restricting Israel.
This is the same strategy as Section 224: take what used to be a public, congressionally appropriated relationship — one the public could pressure lawmakers to restrict — and move it somewhere less visible, less accountable, and harder to reverse.

Israel has emptied four facilities within the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex that served as offices for the Islamic Waqf, in what a monitoring group has described as an escalating campaign against the Jordanian-backed body.
The Al-Quds International Institution, a Palestinian organisation that monitors developments in Jerusalem, said on Tuesday that Israeli authorities have used "manufactured security pretexts" to target the facilities.
Last month, MEE revealed that the United States and Israel were "actively working" to strip Jordan of its historic custodianship over Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Multiple sources said a new arrangement was being pursued that would align management of the revered Muslim site more closely with Israeli interests, with the Waqf effectively sidelined.
The United States has denied the plan.
Violence is never justified.
But people are understandably angry when someone enters the UK illegally and is then alleged to commit serious crimes.

Herzliya was named after the founder of political Zionism Theodor Herzl. It was built over the lands of three Palestinian villages that were ethnically cleansed & destroyed by Israel in 1948: Ijlil al-Shamaliyya, Ijlil al-Qibliyya, & al-Haram (Sayyiduna 'Ali). 1/
An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
This is obscene. I've called on @MayorofLondon and @YvetteCooperMP to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.
🧵 The latest round of sanctions against Israeli individuals & entities, announced by the UK, France, Canada, Norway & Australia are a step in the right direction, but fall far short of what is urgently required by third states under international law. /1

No words are left to describe the struggle of Palestinians in Gaza. Family members wake up with dawn and each person, child or adult, goes to seek food or water or simply a bag of bread. Each journey takes hours to secure a small amount of food or water and sometimes nothing is secured.

The Sameer Project kitchen provides food daily that we drop to camps, tent by tent, so that families don’t have to queue. On June 6th, we gave out 465 mujaddara (lentils and rice) meals to Girls Shelter in Tal Al Hawa and 75 of those were for cleaning workers. The meals cost $913 with 11% commission.
Food is becoming more and more scarce in Gaza and The Sameer Project reduced meals per day to 1,500 and also stopped providing meat. This is due to lack of funds.

🚨🚨 500,000 meals STOPPED overnight for Palestinians in Gaza 🚨🚨

The Sameer Project visited some camps where community kitchens stopped delivering food and found the families struggling. Most Palestinians in Gaza rely on community kitchens for survival, and when international organizations cut down the amounts of food, hundreds of thousands were severely impacted.
The Sameer Project kitchen can make 3,000 meals a day but we cut that down to 1,500 meals. We also switched from meat meals to meatless meals last week due to lack of funds. The drop in donations means a drop in lifesaving services provided.
We can’t stress enough the importance of your material support during this time. Palestinians in Gaza are being killed slowly with no end in sight.

People really need to wake up and realise that Sanders is an arch z1onist and genocide apologist who uses the Palestinian cause for votes while he opposed a ceasefire that could have saved thousands of lives.
Putting forward bills that have zero chances of passing is posturing.
Really, Bernie? Two people just spoke out about US support for Israel during Senator Sanders' talk at the Press Club. Instead of saying, "I understand. your passion and we will get to that issue soon," Bernie said "Get her out of here."
Did you know❓In addition to dual nationals, over 50 “lone soldiers” from Britain – defined as IDF members without family in Israel to support them – have served for Israel amid the genocide.
In the past, the UK government has offered support to “lone soldiers” in Israel.

The 🇫🇷 bourgeois cultural class loves romanticising any semblance of criticism by 🇮🇱 z1onists of their govt as some heroic act of coexistence, which is obvs nonsense.
Lapid is no martyr. His work continues to benefit 🇮🇱 and benefit from the 🇮🇱 institutions he "criticises".

Good article re: BDS & the 🇮🇱 director "critical of the Netanyahu govt" portrayed as an exilé by 🇫🇷 media - he's not, he freely moved to 🇫🇷 - who has had to withdraw from a film festival in Marseille after a number of participating artists/film-makers threatened to boycott. 1/2
"Un artiste peut se dire contre le gouvernement, un film peut se présenter comme critique, mais cela ne signifie pas pour autant que l’institution qui finance, soutient, exporte et valorise ce film ne participe pas à une stratégie de normalisation." https://t.co/SVL8fkYsLG
