i think jon ossoff's best strengths came from his lack of interest in attacking his left flank & focusing on trump's corruption & scandals instead. i said he was a dark horse because he's been smart enough to back restrictions on weapons transfers to israel at times regardless of his incredibly conservative voting track record otherwise.
this is part of the reason why many zionist orgs in georgia that masquerade as jewish advocacy orgs have aggressively condemned the jewish senator at times and still dangle their endorsement over mike collins who has literal white nationalists ties.
i just wish people were more truthful about this entire ordeal. the last 48 hr media frenzy is exactly why people don't trust institutions from corporate media to our bought & sold political class. most of these orgs, and plenty in the media will operate like lapdogs for aipac with no care or consideration for nuance, the truth or how the majority feels about anything.
this crisis of credibility for msm has been beneficial for me personally as an independent media personality, but i still naively believe that these institutions are worth preserving and defending at a time when we have no consensus reality.
WATCH — 2 CLIPS
CLIP 1: @DanaBashCNN attacks Hasan Piker (@hasanthehun) for saying Israel’s actions are putting Jews in danger
CLIP 2: Bash saying THE SAME THING HERSELF to Netanyahu in July 🤔👇🏽

@philflanj@TonyTimmyTom@Mediaite While also protecting pedophiles who ran away from the United States. Add that to your story about Israel, motherfucker.
🟥 THEY CALLED IT A “BOARD OF PEACE”. ATHENA RAYBURN JUST EXPOSED THE SMOKESCREEN.
▪️27 August 2026.🧵🧵🧵
🔳Finally, someone with the position, the evidence and, frankly, the guts to stand inside the UN Security Council and say what Palestinians and humanitarian workers on the ground have been documenting all along.
🔳Athena Rayburn is Executive Director of the Association of International Development Agencies (AIDA), representing more than 100 humanitarian and development NGOs working across occupied Palestine. She did not walk into that chamber with slogans. She walked in with the reality of what this so-called “peace” has actually delivered.
▪️And that is the question that matters: what has changed for Palestinians?
🔳Since the October 2025 ceasefire was announced, more than 1,200 Palestinians have been killed and more than 4,000 injured. Around two-thirds of Gaza remains inaccessible or under severe access restrictions. Approximately 1.9 million Palestinians remain displaced. Even the UK told the Security Council yesterday that “averting starvation cannot be the benchmark”.
▪️Rayburn went much further.
🔳She described approximately two million Palestinians trapped and dependent upon humanitarian assistance “controlled and restricted by the State that has designed this scarcity”. More than 30 international humanitarian organisations have been deregistered by the israeli authorities. The humanitarian organisations capable of independently witnessing, documenting and treating what is happening are themselves being restricted.
▪️And then you get to the details that expose just how grotesque this system has become.
🔳Scissors. Crutches. Wheelchairs. Prosthetic limbs.
▪️Items needed by a population in which thousands have been maimed, amputated and permanently disabled have been rejected as supposed “dual-use” goods. Specialist medical personnel have faced restrictions. Engine oil has been restricted to the point Rayburn said its price reached 45 times normal levels, pushing humanitarian operations towards breaking point.
🔳And then there are WATERMELONS AND ONIONS.
▪️Fresh produce for a population recovering from what Rayburn herself called an “engineered famine”, rejected under an israeli “humanitarian policy”.
🔳You could not write the obscenity of this if you tried.
But perhaps the most important part of these nine minutes is not the watermelon, the scissors or even the prosthetic limbs.
It is CONTROL.
Control what enters Gaza. Control who enters Gaza. Control which NGOs remain. Control where they operate. Control the food. Control the fuel. Control the medical equipment. Control movement. Control humanitarian access. And create an environment in which organisations know that speaking publicly about what they witness can jeopardise their ability to continue operating.
🔳That raises the obvious question:
What are they so frightened of the world seeing?
More than 400 humanitarian workers have been killed during this catastrophe. Those who remain are not random observers parachuting into Gaza with opinions. They are trained professionals embedded within Palestinian communities, documenting conditions with their own eyes.
🔳And still the space in which they can operate is being squeezed.
This is why the argument about “more aid entering Gaza” is such a spectacular distraction.
You cannot destroy a population’s ability to sustain itself, reduce roughly two million human beings to dependence upon humanitarian assistance, retain control over that assistance and then demand applause because some of it was permitted through.
That is not humanitarian success.
It is managed dependency.
And this is where Rayburn went directly for the Board of Peace.
“By these basic measures, the Board of Peace is failing.”
No.
Failing suggests something was genuinely implemented and then went wrong.
I said right at the start of this that the intention would be to sweep the people of Gaza into the Sinai desert.
I still believe that is what will happen, and the world will watch without intervening.
كشف تحقيق الصحيفة أن حكومة إسرائيل موّلت حملة إعلامية عبر إنشاء مركز أبحاث وهمي مقره الولايات المتحدة يُدعى "معهد هانوفر للسياسات العامة" (Hanover Institute for Public Policy). وكان الهدف الرئيسي من إطلاق هذا المعهد هو التلاعب بنماذج الذكاء الاصطناعي (مثل ChatGPT وGemini وPerplexity) وتوجيه إجاباتها لتتبنى السردية الإسرائيلية في القضايا المتعلقة بالإبادة الجماعية في قطاع غزة .
نشر المركز أكثر من 124 تقريراً تحتوي على أزيد من 560 ألف كلمة خلال 9 أيام فقط (بين 6 و14 أغسطس 2026). وفي يومين فقط (12 و13 أغسطس) نشر 73 تقريراً بحجم 354 ألف كلمة.
صيغت جميع عناوين التقارير تقريباً على شكل أسئلة يبحث عنها المستخدمون في روبوتات الدردشة، مثل:
"هل مناهضة الصهيونية هي معاداة للسامية؟"
"هل قامت إسرائيل بتجويع الفلسطينيين في غزة عمداً؟"
"هل ترتكب إسرائيل إبادة جماعية؟"
تم تمويل هذه الحملة بـعشرات الملايين من الدولارات من الحكومة الإسرائيلية، وتم تمرير الأموال عبر وكالات إعلامية وشركات علاقات عامة (من بينها مجموعة Havas Media الأوروبية وشركة Piro Inc في نيويورك).
سجلت شركة Piro Inc هذا الموقع لدى وزارة العدل الأمريكية بموجب قانون تسجيل الوكلاء الأجانب (FARA) كقناة توزيع إعلامي لصالح الحكومة الإسرائيلية .
استخدم الموقع منصة تجارية تُدعى Res متخصصة في ما يُعرف بـ Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)، وهي تقنية تستهدف صياغة وتشييد النصوص والمراجع بشكل يسهل على خوارزميات الذكاء الاصطناعي قراءتها والاستشهاد بها كمصادر موثوقة عند الإجابة على أسئلة المستخدمين.

ونحن حتى هذه اللحظة ننتظر ونشاهد دون أن نفعل شيئاً أو نقوم بحملات مضادة، فما يُصنع اليوم يتأثر به المستقبل.
Wow.
CNN’s Dana Bash really did make the EXACT same argument as Hasan Piker.
It is an obvious undeniable fact that Israel’s actions are fuelling antisemitism.
Addressing that obvious fact is not justifying the evil of antisemitism
They may be vicious, violent, racist thugs.
But they are Israel’s vicious, violent, racist thugs.
Even the IDF needs an occasional break from their professional violence.
97% of this is just about how Gaza must be disarmed - violating the rights of every Gazan to defend themselves from Israel’s depravity.
1% briefly criticizes Israel & vaguely mentions its obligations.
And this represents everything you need to know about this sham of a board.
