🇸🇾 Israeli Forces Fire on Syrian Press Team During Daraa Incursion
🔹A Syrian news crew came under Israeli gunfire while reporting on a newly established Israeli position in the Yarmouk Basin of western Daraa, in southern Syria, the state broadcaster al-Ekhbariah said. Footage showed one of its journalists, wearing a press vest, running for cover.
🔹The fire came during an Israeli ground incursion into Abidin village in Syria’s southern Daraa province, near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and the Jordanian border, where a force of military vehicles established a temporary position on a nearby hill before opening fire toward surrounding farmland, according to Syria’s SANA news agency.
🔹The raid is one of what have become near-daily Israeli incursions into southern Syria since the fall of the Assad government in December 2024. By one tracker’s count, Israeli forces have carried out more than 1,100 ground incursions and over 1,000 airstrikes inside Syria since then, in violation of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
very odd how everyone in our media just ignores the fact that the most, fourth most and fifth most popular active politician in the US are self-identified democratic socialists. Clearly if someone can Pull It Off, which we now have three major examples of, it has broad appeal.
NEW: The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists, of course.
The move was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF.
This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved, and it makes a mockery of the purported mission of the organization. It is absolutely abhorrent that the organization’s resources are wasted on this cowardly witch-hunt, at a moment in history that is the deadliest for journalists, especially in Palestine and Lebanon.
The US has seized $5.49 billion of Venezuela’s oil revenue in 2026, then offers just $150 million in earthquake aid while the UN estimates $6.7 billion in losses. It’s not relief, it’s extortion. At the same time, US has $30 billion of frozen assets while people are under rubble.
On May 31, 2026 Schumer and Hochul marched w/Smotrich to celebrate Israel - 31 months into its genocide of Gaza. Most in Congress voted to send billions of dollars worth of bombs to Israel as it killed tens of thousands and starved even more. Has Jon called on them to apologize?
“Centrist Democrats—who’ve done nothing but vote scold, belittle, condescend & refuse to stop backing genocide—I need you to find an army of highly motivated young volunteers who will door-knock for capitalism and Israel’s right to snuff out children in tents” Brilliant idea Van!
Meet Liav Goldstein, the man who oversees starvation and torture in Israeli concentration camps, according to a recent Haaretz exposé.
Make him famous.
This guy has sermons before he was senator where he says Israel is a colonial apartheid state. I look down on the character of someone like this even more than a lifelong Zionist.
I returned to Turmus’ayya, the scene of the brutal olive harvest attack I documented in October, and found that the settlers now owned the fields and had pushed the battle lines into the village itself. Pt 1 of 5:
Hey @jonfavs question, in retrospect what do you think is more offensive: attending an anti-Israel protest on Oct 8 2023 (even granting it was too “celebratory”) or Jeffries and Schumer attending a pro-Israel rally on Nov 14 2023 after Israel had killed more than 4,000 children?
Wild how every one of these tweets is just an open acknowledgment of a capital strike and committing to repeatedly breaking tenant law. “Nice rent freeze you got, now we will petulantly punish you by not maintaining your building” ok cool you should be stripped of all your wealth
BREAKING: 8 people have been sentenced combined 450 years in prison for peacefully protesting outside ICE Facility
More years than any American has been sentenced over the Epstein Files
This report is extremely important and I’m glad the UN unreleased it, but let’s acknowledge that Palestinian journalists reported all of these horrific stories when they happened more than two years ago.
