U.S.-born Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard admits Israel will have to go to war with Turkey and Egypt once they finish off Iran, Gaza, and Lebanon.
He says, “The storm is coming,” unlike anything the world has ever seen before.
“We have to be prepared for the next war, which will probably be against Turkey and Egypt.”
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Dave Regan, president of SEIU-UHW and the union leader spearheading California’s billionaire tax, says @GavinNewsom has found the one constituency in California that’s truly “off limits”: billionaires.
While the governor pushes regressive taxes on working people, Regan says Democratic leaders are blocking a billionaire tax because they’ve been captured by big tech money.
Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon right now.
Israel has launched over 100 airstrikes on Lebanon this morning alone.
Striking South Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley simultaneously.
Entire families have been massacred.
This isn’t a “ceasefire.”
For the MOU to hold and result in a lasting peace, we must restrict aid to Israel immediately & make it clear that we will not defend them should Iran opt to strike in response to Israel’s attacks in Lebanon.
Israel has not responded to our verbal & written demands—that is not going to change, unless we change it by taking action.
Israel claims sovereignty & continues to threaten our peace deal, yet they rely on us to bail them out. This is calculated.
We have to respond accordingly and stop this cycle once and for all.
Lead with action: remove their leverage, otherwise they will not take us seriously.
An open SOH & peace in the region have to be our focus. Israel is playing spoiler—we must limit their ability to do so.
I have never heard of a country invading a neighbor and then calling it unfair that their soldiers died in that invasion. I don’t think any other country ever even thought to make that complaint.
On top of that, Israel now wants to retaliate for its soldiers being killed while invading their neighbor.
This is pure madness. Just leave Lebanon.
Lebanese environmental activist Mona Khalil has died from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike earlier this month, family and friends say.
For more than 20 years she was a dedicated & stubborn protector of Lebanon’s sea turtles.
She had stayed at her home on the beach in Mansouri, southern Lebanon, despite the war.
I had the privilege of interviewing her in 2017 when she was resisting the construction of a beach resort backed by powerful local players.
Very sad to learn that Mona Khalil died after weeks in the ICU following an Israeli strike that levelled her home in Mansouri. She was a very well-known environmental activist and dedicated her life to saving endangered turtles. She stayed in the south despite Israeli strikes because of her love for the land.
She was a civilian, a renowned figure but Israel targeted her house.
CNN profiled her in 2017 here: https://t.co/ZaMRnuS4zf
“I live every day to the fullest and don’t worry about tomorrow,” she told the newspaper.
Israel killed Mona Khalil in South Lebanon.
On June 6, they dropped a bomb on her home in Mansouri — flattening it.
Mona, an environmental activist, dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles along Lebanon’s coast.
She died of her injuries today.
There are several glaring red flags regarding the official “71 Jewish schoolgirls popping out of Nyack, NY sewers” narrative that don’t seem kosher (for lack of a better term).
Forgive me, my blue check was taken so I’m character-limited and will have to make this a thread. 🧵
Mehdi Hasan: You murdered 300 people last week including a baby at her father's funeral
Doron Spielman: We murdered 300 terrorists last week, and I think those are your people.
Mehdi Hasan: A one-year-old baby is a terrorist?
Doron Spielman: The one-year-old baby was put in harm's way because Hezbollah keeps
Doron Spielman: They were put harm's way at a funeral?
🚨 DISGUSTING: Amnesty International officially accuses the Zionist regime of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, confirming unprecedented land theft and forced transfer of Palestinians.
The report explicitly declares these actions amount to horrific war crimes!
El ejército israelí, que no tiene ni un ápice de humanidad ni de conciencia en su corazón. Es una banda vil, cobarde y repugnante de ladrones cuya fuerza solo sirve para robar animales de inocentes y arrestar e encarcelar a los indefensos.

Step one in ensuring that any peace deal has a chance: restrain Israel.
Right now, Israel’s ability to conduct consistent strikes into Iran is heavily dependent on U.S. assistance.
As Israel’s own defense minister spells out below, Israel has different objectives than we do, and it’s clear they will not be inclined to adhere to a peace agreement.
The stated intent runs wholly counter to U.S. objectives, yet Israel cannot sustain wars on multiple fronts without financial and military support from the U.S.
Until they are able to do so, their actions will continue to interfere with our strategic goals and drag the U.S. into conflicts that don’t serve us.
Make no mistake—this is a threat to sabotage our deal. But we can remove the leverage:
Take away the military support we are providing Israel, immediately, to preserve the potential of ending this foolish war.
It’s important to understand that, contrary to Donald Trump’s quip to Barak Ravid that Netanyahu has “no f***ing judgment,” the Israeli Prime Minister knows exactly what he is doing:
With a set of strikes at the Dahiyeh neighborhood in Beirut, he is trying to kill both the pending US-Iran peace deal and the fragile peace between Israel and Lebanon that would come with it.
There is a further strategic dividend. Netanyahu is also seeking to preempt Iran’s attempt to establish a new regional deterrence equation—one in which attacks on Beirut, and potentially on Lebanon more broadly, would trigger a direct Iranian response against Israel.
By striking now, he is not merely targeting an adversary; he is challenging the emergence of a regional order that would constrain Israel’s freedom of military action.
