@Mondoweiss Plus, Jeffrey Goldberg's role in building the case for war with Iran, and how the genocide is forcing a reckoning in Germany, South Africa, and Latin America. 3/3

📬 My latest @Mondoweiss Weekly Briefing is out.
This week, Israel is using militias and concrete barriers to consolidate control over 65% of Gaza. The Knesset is advancing legislation to annex Palestinian historical sites in the West Bank. 1/3

@Mondoweiss Israel is reviving a 58-year-old order to seize properties adjacent to al-Aqsa. And the DNC's long-awaited 2024 campaign autopsy doesn't mention Gaza once.
We're also covering the pressure campaign against a possible Iran deal and AIPAC's mixed week at the polls. 2/3
Ridiculous- Creating loopholes to bypass sanctions. The point of sanctions, including cultural, is to create conditions that lead Israelis to pressure their governments and leaders. God forbid the 10 anti-Zionist Israelis standing are slightly inconvenienced!
🗝️ My Weekly Briefing newsletter at @Mondoweiss is focused on the Nakba, which marks its 78th anniversary this Friday. New analysis documents upwards of $100 billion in stolen Palestinian financial wealth, and more this week.

“We don’t authorise either the use of military bases or the use of airspace for actions related to the war in Iran,” says Spain’s Defence Minister Margarita Robles.
New from me: Most Americans don’t understand how extreme Israeli society has become
I spoke to a man in his early eighties who has been involved in Republican Party politics most of his life. He didn't know some basic truths about Israeli society.

I wrote about this in Mondoweiss's Weekly Briefing. We covered the Iraq War critically when the mainstream press was cheerleading for it. We'll cover this war the same way: https://t.co/L7ugpXS75V
🧵 Twenty-three years ago this month, the U.S. invaded Iraq on lies. Yesterday, the U.S. and Israel launched a full-scale air war on Iran. Same imperial machinery, same hollow justifications. Here we go again.

This is also an attack on the international legal order built after World War II. Not just a violation of the rules, but a rejection of the rules as a concept. The same project driving the Gaza genocide and the annexation of the West Bank.
NEW: A Mossad-linked Israeli lawfare organization is trying to shut down The Maple and get criminal charges laid against me.
Read, share and let Israelis know that they don’t get to decide what Canadian journalism looks like.

The Ditch gained access to Jeffrey Epstein’s FedEx account – records show it was used for shipments long after his death and an address book including a senior Israeli military officer now considered a “strategic consultant” for “diplomatic matters”.

Two recent episodes have shown how liberal institutions like Human Rights Watch and Doctors Without Borders are designed to recognize the violence that shapes Palestinian life but not challenge the systems that produce it. New at @mondoweiss

New at @mondoweiss: Birzeit University is no longer what it once was. The transformation has been gradual and, therefore, easily rationalized, but the result has been the hollowing out of a university that once led the Palestinian struggle.

Six pro-Palestine activists have been acquitted of charges of aggravated burglary over their July 2024 raid on Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems' factory in Filton, England. @mondoweiss
