Netanyahu on Gaza:
You have to "deradicalize" the situation in Gaza.
They imbibe with their mother’s milk this hatred, this insane hatred for Jews and for Israel — and, by the way, for Americans too.
They have suicide kindergarten camps. You’ve got to understand this.
I think we need to disarm, demilitarize and "deradicalize" Gaza.
A former civil servant describes fearing for his job after speaking out against the UK government’s involvement in Gaza and questioning its policy on arms exports.
Here, he speaks exclusively to journalist Ramita Navai.
Israel’s upcoming "democratic" election won’t fundamentally alter its barbaric treatment of Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon.
In fact, the new government could take even bloodier action.
We asked Israeli historian Ilan Pappé what he expects from the results.
Very early on, in the days and weeks after October 7, still trying to take my own coordinates, I told a friend, senior in the Biden administration:
"Are you aware that you guys are creating the impression that you believe that 'Israeli lives matter, Palestinian lives matter less'"?
"It's not just an impression", he replied.
"I've spent hours with the President", he continued. "When we discussed the Israeli hostages in Gaza, his eyes welled over with tears. When we discussed civilian casualties in Gaza, his mind wandered'".
It has the ring of truth. Fourty years ago, before my encounter with Jerusalem transformed me, I too would have reacted as Biden did.
NEW: President Trump directly told Russ Vought to find the funds to finance the ads glorifying him. The agency’s general counsel and WH counsel both signed off on the move as legal. The president and WH chief of staff spoke to the DHS secretary. https://t.co/U4zWDOqJbx
@dana_olmert@elizabethholzm6@Issaamro ***** UPDATE: Issa was released after being detained blindfolded and handcuffed behind his back and badly treated for 7 hours in a military base. The charge: got too close to a settlement. Shit. But he is out and ok. ****
Wow, das nennte man dann wohl wirklich Turboradikalsierung. Fehlt nur noch ein neues Podcastformat mit einer Ikone der neuen Rechten. Hat da jemand schon Vorschläge?
Dozens of villages razed to the ground, several Israeli military positions and nationalist graffiti: what we saw inside Israel’s occupied area in southern Lebanon.
We gained rare access to Debel, one of a handful of Christian-majority villages whose residents have been allowed to remain. Besieged, they rely on humanitarian convoys vetted by Israel.
Even within the village, residents’ movements are restricted by the Israeli army, which is stationed on the outskirts, has installed surveillance cameras and continues to bar access to parts of the village.
Unlike the other Christian villages, Debel itself was occupied for months, and dozens of homes on its outskirts were destroyed.

@tim_grafe „Antisemitismus“ ist unter kräftiger Mithilfe Ihrer Partei zum taktischen Spielobjekt geworden. Und damit ein Verhandlungsgegenstand wie jeder andere.

Konrad Adenauer hatte in internen Statements dargelegt, dass er weiterhin antisemitische Stereotype über jüdische Menschen hatte.
Dieser Cicero-Artikel soll eine diskursive Grundlage zum Einreißen der Brandmauer zur AfD liefern.

Jared is a war profiteer who benefits financially when the Israeli military drops more bombs and invades more places. He disclosed none of this because he has decided he doesn't have to comply with ethics rules. The scandal is all the shady stuff we don't know, not this article.
Sliwa getting a flu shot: This could be very embarrassing. I’m supposed to be a tough guy, right?
Mamdani: I can hold your hand.
Sliwa: What happens if I faint?
Mamdani: I got you.
Doctor: You’re in great hands, literally.

💥Ehud Barak: "Netanyahu is laying the groundwork for launching a war that will postpone the elections. He lies as he breathes… as he leaves a restaurant without paying."
"We must do everything so that on 27/10 he is ousted from power once and for all."
From the people who brought you “Gaza isn’t a genocide because only 70,000 people were killed,” “don’t cheapen the memory of the Holocaust,” and “it’s not genocide until the ICJ says it is, comes the latest idiocy: the FlyDubai incident (which killed 0 people) was a genocide.
