Iโm speaking directly to the source who leaked this information to Matthew Cole: Your life as you know it is as good as over.
Take it from me, or any of us who spent years in prison because of him (Reality Winner, Terry Albury, the list goes on).
The White House is smart. They know Matthew Cole is sloppy with sources, and they know he is a coward who folds like a wet blanket. Barack Obama had his way with him. And Trump is about to do the same thing. To all Coleโs sources, best of luck when his book releases this week.
HEBRON IS UNDER SIEGE. FAMILIES ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES.
Since yesterday, at least 250 families have been displaced in Hebron, including my own sister, Hayat, and her seven children. Homes and shops are being demolished by the Israeli military.
Around 250,000 people are trapped in the city, while 1,000 families in H2 remain in their homes.
We are being collectively punished for something we neither did nor supported. Our suffering is being turned into political material for Israelโs elections, while innocent families pay the price.

Last night in the West Bank, Palestinian men, women and children and elderly, all were forced to evacuate their homes.
This is hell. Imagine being woken in the middle of the night to leave with one bag. 400+ families. Thousands of people.
๐ต๐ธ Refeef Lubbad, a 17-year-old 11th grader, was shot and killed by Israeli forces Thursday as she walked home from school in the al-Faluja area of Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
I'm currently visiting Manila with my family, including the splendid San Agustin church in the old "Intramuros" town, and I was very surprised to see the entrance was adorned not only by sculptures of St Augustine and St Paul but also by Chinese guardian lions!
I dug a bit into why and found this seems to be a recurring feature in Spanish-era churches in the Philippines: you find Chinese guardian lions at the cathedrals of Vigan and Cebu, at the Santo Niรฑo basilica (also in Cebu), at the Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Caysasay in Taal, and at the Morong church in Rizal province.
Apparently the history is that all those churches and cathedrals were built with the help of Chinese craftsmen, who did much of the skilled work and left the guardian lions as protection, just as they would have for any temple in China (https://t.co/ZizXI8vdAh).
The lions themselves were often carved from "piedra china" (https://t.co/ogDSXFc8lt), Chinese granite that arrived as ballast on the Chinese ships trading with Manila - the same stone that still paves some of the streets of the old "Intramuros" town.
Testimonies reported Jews forced Palestinians to carry corpses they murdered to a mass grave, then shot them and dumped their bodies into the same pit.
@grok yes no
A Palestinian father was shot dead by an Israeli sniper while trying to retrieve his sonโs body after Israeli forces killed the child.
The footage was documented by journalist Hassan Salih, who was later killed by Israel on May 13, 2025, while covering the atrocities in Gaza.
