Yes, the Ben-Gvir video is disgraceful. But that's not the issue. The (obvious) issue is that if that's how nonviolent European protesters are treated in public, any person with a brain can imagine how Palestinians are treated behind closed doors. *That* is the real scandal.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
It’s not a question of whether you agree with Jimmy Kimmel.
When someone uses their government position to threaten speech they don't like, that undermines the First Amendment and our entire democracy.
Everyone should care about this—no matter what your political view is.
Gun violence is out of control. The victims of gun violence are Republicans, Democrats, independents, and kids, who have no political affiliation whatsoever.
We need to tone down the incendiary political rhetoric, for sure, but we also need to do something about guns.
The guns!
🇧🇪🇵🇸 Palestine will be recognised by Belgium at #UNGA.
Firm sanctions are being taken against the Israeli government. Any antisemitism or glorification of terrorism by Hamas supporters will also be more strongly condemned.
Statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs ⬇️
🚨BREAKING :A video documents a horrific Israeli crime: targeting ambulance and civil defense crews as they were rescuing victims and the wounded after Israel bombed Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis among them was journalist Hossam al-Masri.
I am appalled by the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The last lifelines for survival are being cut off. Without an urgent influx of fuel, incubators will shut down, ambulances will be unable to reach the injured and sick, and water cannot be purified.
The @UN has a clear and proven plan, rooted in the humanitarian principles, to get vital assistance to civilians – safely and at scale, wherever they are.
I renew my call for an immediate permanent ceasefire and for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.
It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more.
This is pure BS.
Three years ago today, Russia launched an unprovoked, brutal invasion of Ukraine. A few short weeks later, @KarenPence and I travelled with @SamaritansPurse and witnessed firsthand the flood of women and children fleeing the Russian onslaught near the Ukrainian border. We will never forget it.
Every day since, Ukrainian soldiers have bravely fought and died on this front line of freedom and the American people and our Allies have rightly given them the means to defend their nation. As Leader of the Free World, America must continue to Stand Strong and lead free nations to give Ukraine the support they need to win a victory for their sovereignty, security and freedom. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦
Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

The @IntlCrimCourt is essential in upholding justice & combating impunity. The EU stands unwaveringly behind the ICC.
We must boldly call out violations of international law, demand accountability & reinforce our humanitarian diplomacy. I reiterated this message to @KarimKhanQC.
Belgium deeply regrets the issuance of the US Executive Order seeking to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court. The ICC is a central pillar of the world order and plays a determining role in the fight against impunity. Belgium has supported the ICC since its establishment and attaches great importance to respecting its independence and impartiality. Belgium remains committed to protecting the ICC and limiting the impact of these sanctions.
Belgium deeply regrets the expulsion of UNRWA from East Jerusalem and the ban on its operations. We call on Israel to revert the implementation of the Knesset Laws. UNRWA’s humanitarian assistance is indispensable and irreplaceable.
