Prominent US war hawk John Bolton has pled guilty to violating the Espionage Act after previously demanding execution for whistleblowers Edward Snowden & Chelsea Manning and 176 years in prison for publisher Julian Assange.
As part of a plea agreement, Bolton admitted to unlawfully retaining sensitive national security information. He now faces up to 5 years in prison, up to 3 years of supervised release, a $2.25 million fine, forfeiture of his pension, and is due to be sentenced on 28 October.
“You can clearly make out from these trends that children are very specific targets for the Israeli defence forces.”
CNN interview with the UN Commission Chair who led the inquiry that concluded Israel is deliberately targeting children in Gaza.
The UN couldn't print the names of Palestinian children murdered and maimed by Israel.
Why?
Because they feared Israel would respond by killing and maiming the families of the children.
HUGE! 🇦🇺Australian Parliament (NSW) showed a Palestinian🇵🇸 film "The voice of Hind Rajab" ! Produced by Brad Pitt, it tells the story of Hind, a five-year-old Palestinian girl who was trapped in a car with the bodies of her family, being shot at by Israeli tanks. Her desperate call to emergency services was heard around the world.
The groundbreaking event was jointly hosted by representatives from both the left and the right of the political spectrum: the NSW Libertarian Party’s Hon. @JohnRuddick2 MLC and the Labor Party’s Hon. Stephen Lawrence MLC and attended by members of parliament, including both from the liberals. The event showed that humanity is not exclusive to any political party, and that opposing genocide is a bipartisan issue.
Alongside the parliamentarians, the event was co-organised and sponsored by the Tarek Yassin of the An Nahda Cultural Association. A moving speech was given by veteran journalist @MaryKostakidis, followed by speeches from Susan Wahhab of Palestinian Christians in Australia (PCiA) and Mohamad Amr of PANZMA.
The fact that this is happening in the halls of Australian parliament shows how much views have turned on Israel since the genocide in Gaza.
What ‘lies’ did I peddle? I simply asked him how many civilians have been killed in Gaza, and he couldn’t answer.
Your own response is almost as embarrassing.
🇱🇧 Hezbollah rejected the framework agreement signed in Washington on Friday, with MP Hassan Fadlallah warning that the Lebanese government cannot enforce it "except by engaging in a civil war, with the support of the United States."
🔺 Speaking to Al-Mayadeen, Fadlallah said the group would block any government move to implement the deal and would cling to its weapons "even more," vowing not to allow authorities to carry out their commitments on the ground.
🔺 “Without the resistance, nothing will pass," he said, dismissing the agreement, which excluded Hezbollah, as an attempt to derail the separate US-Iran talks (the Islamabad process).
🔺 Fadlallah said the current Lebanese government lacked constitutional legitimacy and had no tools to enforce the deal, and charged that Netanyahu was "merely negotiating with himself." He warned the Israeli leader not to rush to celebrate or deliver premature news to the Israeli public.
🔺 He also said Iran's position remained unchanged, saying Tehran would sign no agreement before a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon.

🚨 "Why do WE care so much about Israel?" Glenn Greenwald asks.
"Because it is shaping and DOMINATING our foreign policy—and our country—in so many different ways."
(1) "We're in the middle of a MAJOR WAR AGAINST IRAN," all for the benefit of Israel;
(2) "We've spent the last two and a half years financing and diplomatically protecting one of the MOST CRIMINAL atrocities of my lifetime";
(3) "We have one interest group, AIPAC, that does not have the lives and interests of American citizens" at the core of its mission;
It's not that Israel matters to the American people because they have some fixation or obsession with the Jewish State. It's that the political elite's "radical neglect" of Americans for the interests of a foreign country has become a proxy for many of their grievances.
On October 7th 2023, Israel was already ordering the Hannibal directive to be activated.
“(Strike) Gaza. Break it all apart. Along with the soldiers who got abducted.”
I wasn’t foolish enough to expect a major reaction, but it’s still shocking to see such a muted response to a UN report that says the Gaza Genocide continues.
Palestinians are so dehumanized that Israel can deliberately kill CHILDREN without sparking global outrage or action.
💢NEW: Israeli forces have carried out a double-tap strike on a police vehicle in Al-Maghazi refugee camp, central Gaza, killing three civil police officers, eyewitnesses on the ground tell Drop Site News.
Gaza’s Interior Ministry announced Capt. Mansour Sami Shakhtout, Capt. Mohammed Khaled Nofal, and First Sgt. Mahdi Nader Jaber were all killed in the “deliberate targeting.”
Eyewitness Karam Al-Kurdi told Drop Site that after the first missile struck the vehicle, residents ran to rescue a wounded survivor, but Israel launched a second missile before they could rescue him.
The Interior Ministry said Israel’s repeated attacks on the civilian police force are designed to “spread chaos” in Gaza. It called on the international community and the guarantor states of President Trump’s ceasefire agreement to pressure Israel to halt its systematic attacks on police personnel and assets.
“There is neither a truce nor safety,” Al-Kurdi said, adding that around 130 displaced families are sheltering in the area Israel targeted. “They tell you there’s a truce… They’re making a mockery of the Palestinian people.”

Israel wants you to believe that multiple UN reports and experts are lying. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Oxfam, Save the Children, Doctors Without Borders, B’Tselem, Physicians for Human Rights Israel…are all lying.
But you should believe the people who did this…
Let’s be honest, Epstein was tightly integrated with the Israeli government, especially through Ehud Barack. Walk and talk Interview was with @JulianAndreone@DropSiteNews today.
