โญ๏ธ Adam Karakrah, an American child, has been held in an Israeli military prison without trial since July, and Sen. Chris Van Hollen is pressing his case.
Israeli forces arrested the 16-year-old in a raid on his family's home in Sinjil, northeast of Ramallah, Zeteo reported. His father and brother live in Chicago. Israel first accused him of throwing rocks at Israeli vehicles. After that case was closed, he was re-detained "moments before he was set to be released after his family paid bail," according to a Senate resolution Van Hollen introduced in September. Prosecutors now accuse him of involvement in rioting.
A US Embassy official who visited him told the family the embassy "cannot interfere with matters of the law," according to Zeteo.
Another Palestinian-American, Sama Safi, also remains in Israeli custody. The 20-year-old Birzeit University student, whose family lives in Tampa, was taken from her West Bank home in a predawn raid on June 2 and has been held without formal charge since. A Tampa radio station reported she is accused of taking part in student groups at Birzeit. The Israeli military says it detained her and three other women over "hostile terrorist activity." More than 40 House members and six senators, including Van Hollen, have urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to secure her release. Drop Sitex spoke to her family. Watch the clip in reply.
USAID ENDS, RAP VANISHES FROM THE CHARTS. WAS THE CULTURE ENGINEERED?
Rap has fallen off the Billboard charts for the first time in 35 years. That abrupt shift raises questions about what fueled the genreโs dominance, and whether government-linked funding played any role.
USAID is now gone. If its funding helped elevate rap and its cultural messages, the chart decline points to a broader effort to shape popular taste and public behavior.
The idea is not without precedent. Operation Mockingbird became synonymous with intelligence agencies using media influence to steer public narratives, manufacture consent, and protect government power.
Coincidence or culture operation? Alex Stein (@alexstein99) joins me to examine the timing and the questions it raises.
Beautiful work, very handsome. Indigenous people are proud. He looks clean and well dressed.

Jerry Seinfeld gets called out mid-show in Chicago over his support for Netanyahu and asked about the thousands of Palestinian children murdered by Israel.
HIs reponse is to laugh it off. โIโm racist, itโs a genocide, Iโm into it.โ
Then he started dancing on stage and says, โIโm going to find out how much your ticket was & Iโm sending it to Israel.โ
This you, @JerrySeinfeld?

Israeli investors are building gated communities and luxury resorts on the island of Cyprus.
Some Cypriots fear the changing landscape could push locals out and widen the islandโs existing divisions.
Tucker just exposed the scam of Christian Zionism:
"Do they ever try to convert Israelis in Tel Aviv? All these preachers go over there for the weekend. Jesus is the answer, they tell their congregations. Do they street preach in Tel Aviv? No. Not one of them.
They're political actors working on behalf of a foreign government that's very hostile to Christianity."
