72,000 killed in the genocide in Gaza.
1 million+ displaced in Lebanon.
1,700 settler attacks in the West Bank.
And now war in Iran.
Sending 20,000+ more bombs to Netanyahu isn’t just immoral—it’s illegal.
That’s why I introduced legislation to stop it.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.

The U.N. human rights office publicly defended Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese after at least four European governments attacked her and called for her resignation over comments she never made.
Marta Hurtado, spokesperson for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, said Albanese “did not characterize any state as an enemy of humanity. I invite you all to go see her remarks.”
Hurtado added the office is “very worried” about escalating “personal attacks, threats and misinformation” targeting U.N. officials and independent experts, warning such campaigns distract from “serious human rights issues.”
She then pointed to ongoing Israeli ceasefire violations in Gaza, the daily killing of Palestinians, and Israel’s failure to meet its obligations as an occupying power in the West Bank while undermining a two-state solution: “This is what we should be talking about.”

2.3 million people, 4 food distribution points — only two open each day, and just for 15 minutes.
How is the food distributed? It’s thrown onto the ground, forcing people to scramble for it — a deliberate humiliation, reducing them to something less than human.

Wrapping up a business trip in the Netherlands, I caught the tail end of a protest about the situation in Iran.
When causes from far away start appearing on the streets of your own neighborhood abroad, it’s usually a signal that something deeper is out of balance.

Today in Stuttgart 🇩🇪. Extremist supporters of the Israeli 🇮🇱 club Maccabi Tel Aviv who have traveled to the city sing openly in German streets:
"You are Arab-wh*res (...)
We will f*ck you
and drink your blood (...)
We will r*pe your girls."
German police did not intervene.
