EXCLUSIF Mediapart diffuse « The Bibi Files », un documentaire de la réalisatrice sud-africaine Alexis Bloom sur le procès pour corruption qui vise Benyamin Nétanyahou. Censuré en Israël, ce film montre combien sa politique criminelle est aussi mafieuse.

This alliance has been very, very good for Israel. But when I look at the costs and benefits, strategically, ethically, morally, politically, diplomatically to the US-Israel relationship, I don’t think it works out in the US’s favor. https://t.co/WwkgBO9fEQ via @NYTOpinion

John Fetterman’s lack of serious attention to political solutions is enabled by a Democratic Party geared toward fundraising and poll-tested, sterile platforms.

In an interview with @zeteo_news @ZohranKMamdani says, "and I think Graham Platner put it best when he recently said 'our taxpayer dollars should be building schools and hospitals in this country and not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.'"

Being called a thug and the worst person ever to run for office by Donald Trump might be the highest compliment I have ever received.

I have fought the neocons and warmongers in Washington for more than 25 years. Throughout, they have tried to silence, discredit, slander, and cancel me. Only recently, however, have they tried to deport me.

At least, that appears to have been the aim of a hit piece in Bari Weiss’s The Free Press, which claimed that Marco Rubio’s State Department was “investigating” me for allegedly seeking to “undermine the U.S.”—presumably because of my opposition to war with Iran.

Yet just hours later, the State Department issued a statement to reporters clarifying that “the State Department has no plans to revoke the green card of Mr. Parsi at this time.” Nor did it provide any confirmation for the central premise of the Free Press story—that an investigation of me existed in the first place.

So here’s what I think happened.

The Israel issue and the oligarchy issue are becoming increasingly intertwined. The U.S. is undergoing third world levels of media consolidation and it appears to be at least partly motivated by partisanship for a foreign country.

This Abundance strategy document is so embarrassing and confirms everything their critics said.

"You can see this in the emerging political brands Jared Polis, Gina Raimondo, and Josh Shapiro are forging. Abundance should be the playbook."

This is insane:
• UofM cracks down on and arrests anti-genocide student protesters
• Ann Arbor prosecutor Eli Savit declines to prosecute
• UofM recruits MI AG and Zionist lunatic Dana Nessel to personally prosecute the case—HIGHLY unusual for such low-level charges
• Nessel forced to drop all charges to preempt court finding her unable to fairly prosecute the case due to her bias against Arabs and Muslims as well as her ties to Zionist extremist groups caught attempting to influence the court
• Nessel (a Democrat!) turns to Trump DoJ and Kash Patel to bring felony conspiracy charges against the students

🚨 WTF?! A USS Liberty survivor drops a massive bombshell.

He confirms they were threatened with prison or worse if they ever spoke about the Israeli attack.

Another veteran explicitly states "Israel owns us" after being ignored by Congress for 59 years. Total betrayal!

[gato fumante @KweenInYellow]

The assassination of Shireen was a trial run for the systematic targeting of hundreds of journalists and media workers in Gaza, the West Bank, and now Lebanon, and it was the Biden administration that gave the green light for all of it.

Dropsite's Jeremy Scahill: "The Kibbutz told us on the record that two cases of SA of teenage girls that the NYT, CNN, and the AP had reported, never happened. We went to the NYT for comment, they still to this day refuse to retract it... because it was award season."

Trump needs a deal!

This war has been a disaster for his standing, including with young republicans.

Though he was +9pt over Kamala in 2024, he is now facing a foreign policy net approval of -40pt

And with young GOP on foreign policy, he is -14pt on the Iran War!

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

This emerging "peace deal" (if in fact it's actually real this time) does nothing but restore where we were four months ago.

$50 billion dollars, 13 dead Americans, and soaring gas prices, just to re-open a strait that was already open. The Art of the Deal.

Iran’s Mehr news agency publishes the purported text of the draft agreement with Trump. It will keep the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control, will promise Iran $300 billion in reconstruction money in addition to an immediate cash transfer of $24 billion, a suspension of sanctions and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Middle East. Also, a commitment not to bother Iran again about its missiles and proxies, and restraining Israel in Lebanon.
The U.S. gets in exchange a pinky promise to respect the NPT.
Let’s see what happens in coming days.

Full text:

A permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon.
A U.S. commitment not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs and to respect the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Full lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days.
A U.S. commitment to withdraw its forces from areas surrounding Iran.
Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under arrangements determined by Iran.
Suspension of sanctions on the sale of oil, petrochemical products, and related derivatives, along with full Iranian access to the resulting financial revenues.
The United States and its allies would be required to present reconstruction plans for Iran worth at least $300 billion.
A 60-day negotiation period aimed at reaching a final agreement covering nuclear issues and the complete removal of U.S. primary and secondary sanctions, as well as the repeal of relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council and the IAEA Board of Governors.
Reaffirmation by Iran of its commitment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) not to produce nuclear weapons.
During the negotiation period, the United States would commit not to deploy additional forces to the region and not to impose any new sanctions.
The release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets during the 60-day final negotiation period. Half of this amount must be made available to Iran before negotiations begin.
Establishment of a monitoring mechanism to oversee implementation of the agreement.
The final agreement would be approved through a UN Security Council resolution.
Final negotiations would not begin before the release of half of Iran’s frozen assets, the suspension of oil sanctions, and the lifting of the naval blockade. The final agreement would focus exclusively on the future of enriched nuclear material and uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, and a program for rebuilding Iran’s economy. Discussion of Iran’s missile program and its support for resistance groups would be definitively excluded from the agenda.

As stated by the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, this text still requires review and final approval by the relevant authorities in Iran.

As per Reuters the UAE is either unlocking or paying billions of dollars to Iran, including transfers up to $20bn in an attempt to reset relations after the recent war. $3bn has reportedly already been paid.
