Israel is still burning children alive in Gaza. Burning children to death.

Meanwhile, people are attacking Ms Rachel again for saying this is wrong.

More than two dozen masked Israeli settlers descended on the Palestinian village of Al-Tuwani overnight Sunday, setting fire to the Al-Taqwa Mosque, two homes, a women-run dairy factory and a vehicle. Hebrew graffiti with the word “REVENGE” and a Star of David were left on the mosque walls.

Residents rushed to extinguish the flames before they spread further. A Palestinian activist told AFP the attack unfolded “in full view of the Israeli army,” with a military watchtower located next to the mosque. Israeli police claimed they have opened an investigation.

On Monday in the Valley Fair Mall in Utah, 48-year-old Peter Michael Larsen approached a Muslim American named Sohail and asked him if he was Muslim. Sohail confirmed that he was.

Larsen, a Trump supporter, pulled out a knife and stabbed Sohail 15 times. Larsen told police he intended to kill Sohail due to his religion—and that he wanted to “kill all Muslims.” Where was Larsen radicalized?

A funeral.
Still silent?

⭕️ Ben Gvir boasts that Palestinian prisoners “piss themselves” in fear when he visits

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who oversees the country’s prison and torture system for Palestinians, said Palestinian prisoners urinate on themselves out of fear when he enters Israeli jails, and claimed he found imprisoned Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti crying in terror.

“When we enter Israel’s prisons, the Palestinian prisoners piss their pants when they see us, they piss themselves out of fear,” Ben Gvir said.

“We enter Marwan Barghouti’s cell and he was crying in terror. I told the jailers to keep treating them like that.”

The remarks follow a pattern for the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power party) leader, who has repeatedly publicized his visits and mistreatment of Palestinian detainees and the worsening of their conditions since taking the prisons portfolio.

In August, he filmed himself confronting Barghouti in his cell, footage the UN human rights office called an attack on Barghouti’s dignity that could encourage further violence against Palestinian prisoners.

Barghouti, 66, has been held since 2002 and is the most popular Palestinian political figure in opinion polls.

I have met with dissidents, the president, and people from across the political spectrum in Cuba.

Everyone agrees that the collective punishment of the Cuban people is wrong. The US must lift the embargo, allow fuel into Cuba, and build a relationship that benefits all of us.

Haley Stevens' entire campaign is being bankrolled by millions of dollars of anonymous dark money aiming to outright buy the election - and yet she's running around with a straight face pretending she is the pro-transparency candidate. A truly sociopathic commitment to the bit.

Kevin O'Leary and Fox News are being sued over claims that critics of the millionaire's massive Utah data center have ties to China.

After O'Leary made multiple media appearances defending his project and attacking critics, two activists are taking him to court, alleging that he falsely accused them of being foreign operatives backed by the Chinese Communist Party.

The complaint identifies at least 10 media appearances between May 11 and June 3 where O'Leary repeated the accusations.

🚨 NEW: Iran has formally demanded a cut of the billions it says people close to President Trump made by manipulating financial markets tied to the Iran war, a senior Iranian official tells Drop Site.

Tehran calculated the profits from that alleged manipulation, across oil futures, energy stocks, and prediction markets, had reached $9 billion, and put its demand in writing to mediators.

“We have conveyed through intermediaries that $4.5 billion of this sum should also be allocated to the Iranian side,” the official told Drop Site.

“The exchanged texts will ultimately become part of the historical record,” the official added.

🔗 The claim is part of a broader Iranian warning, reported by Drop Site, that Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner were “abusing” their inside access to U.S.-Iran talks to profit rather than reach a deal. Read the report from Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim linked below👇

🚨BREAKING: (Chicago suburb, St. Charles) ICE agents smashed a handcuffed man’s face into a stone wall, then assaulted a U.S. citizen, multiple times, once they realized they were filming.

In the video, multiple ICE agents have a man in handcuffs. While he is completely under their control, and not resisting, they smash his face into a stone wall.

A U.S. citizen begins asking for the man’s name, while filming... note that he is not interfering, blocking the agents, or preventing the arrest in any way…. But that doesn’t stop the ICE agent from chases after him, while another agent threatens him with a taser.

As the citizen is actively backing away, the agent continues walking toward him, and aggressively shoves him backwards.

Even after the detained man is being escorted to the vehicle… and the legal observer is nowhere near the agents, or their cars… that same ICE agent continues shoving the U.S. citizen for no apparent reason.

And while he is standing on the public sidewalk, another agent walks over and points a taser inches from him, and then turns around and points his taser at other innocent people, who are just standing and watching.

Americans have a First Amendment right to record government officials performing their duties in public. Threatening, intimidating, or assaulting someone because they are documenting law enforcement, violates that right.

And slamming a person face, who is handcuffed and not resisting, into a stone wall is excessive force.

This is exactly why it’s important to always record anytime you see ICE agents.

Because when there isn’t video evidence, we’re told to trust the government’s version of events. And more often than not, their version is filled with lies.

But when there is video, the people filming often become the next target… just for documenting what is happening.

And that’s what makes this so alarming.

This is happening across the country, almost every single day. Americans are watching videos of people being thrown to the ground, beaten, threatened, shoved, tased, and intimidated by federal agents… while never seeing anyone held accountable.

When a government refuses to investigate or discipline agents who violate people’s constitutional rights, it sends a message that they can keep doing it.

And that’s exactly what we’re seeing.

The Constitution means nothing if the people sworn to uphold it can violate it without consequence.

And as long as this administration refuses to hold ICE agents accountable, Americans should expect to keep seeing videos like this… because impunity breeds abuse.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya ran one of Gaza's last hospitals. He refused to leave his patients even after Israel killed his own son in a drone strike.

Israel kidnapped him for it. 18 months in detention, tortured and beaten, for the crime of running a hospital.

He must be released.

The U.S. bombed 90 targets in Iran last night.

Iran is reporting 14 killed and 78 injured since US strikes restarted on Wednesday.

Trump seems to think that he can bully Iran into relinquishing control of the Strait of Hormuz with the same failed and criminal strategy as 3 months ago. If it didn’t work then, it’s not going to work now.

The only thing this will accomplish is dragging out pain to the global economy while spreading further death and destruction across the region.

Israel killed a WCK driver, Ahmad Nasser Saleem, in Gaza today. They’re still killing humanitarian workers and obstructing aid.

Is the media going to report this or is it not newsworthy?
