Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff dismantled the Palestinian narrative with cold historical facts.

There was never a sovereign Arab state called “Palestine.” The British Mandate of Palestine was simply British administration over the historic Land of Israel after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

Jews lived continuously in the land for centuries — including under Ottoman rule, when they formed the majority in Jerusalem. Before 1909, Tel Aviv was empty desert legally purchased by Jews, who built it from nothing. No Arabs were displaced.

After the British handed the mandate to the UN, the Arab world rejected the partition plan and launched a war to destroy the Jewish state. Arab armies and local militias tried to “push the Jews into the sea.” At the same time, Arab countries ethnically cleansed their ancient Jewish communities, forcing nearly a million Jews to flee to Israel.

During the war, Arab leaders ordered local Arabs to evacuate combat zones so their armies could annihilate the Jews. Many of those who left later became permanent “refugees” under Egyptian and Jordanian control.

Israel has never committed genocide — and never will. By defending itself, it prevents another holocaust.

Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic regime of Iran are the real obstacles to peace in the Middle East.

Retweet if you support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.

That is the single worst answer to the question of why Republicans are encouraging a murderous dictator I’ve ever heard. Someone keep her away from cameras.

Trump drags feet on drone deal with Ukraine, mystifying experts
https://t.co/Jh42a8l9y5

[Joni Askola @joni_askola]

For two decades, Vladimir Putin managed to trick the world into believing he was a master geopolitical chess player.

The catastrophic invasion of Ukraine has permanently shattered that illusion, exposing him as one of the most wildly overestimated strategists in modern history.

Putin's long streak of international ”successes” was never a product of strategic brilliance. Instead, his ”victories” happened simply because he was willing to break international rules and push further than his targets expected. Many of his opponents mistakenly believed that appeasement would preserve stability, which only encouraged his aggressive behavior for years.

The moment someone finally stood up to him, the entire facade came crashing down. Ukraine refused to capitulate, and the Kremlin's supposedly unstoppable military machine failed pathetically. Putin completely miscalculated the resolve of Ukrainian people and the unity of the West, proving that his earlier triumphs were just the result of bullying weak and hesitant adversaries.

By overstretching his forces in this reckless war, he has effectively ruined the economic potential and future of Russia. His legacy is now defined by a bleeding military, crippling sanctions, and absolute isolation from the developed world. It is a pathetic end for a ruler who genuinely believed his own propaganda

Zelenskyy: We've got messages that they are ready for meeting only if Ukraine will do what they decided in Anchorage. With all respect to the President of the United States, but you can't cut our country. You can't make decisions without us, about us. It's unacceptable and it will not bring peace.

"...Our goal is to liberate all Ukrainian land from Russian occupation. We will not stop on this path under any circumstances.

The Ukrainian military will not accept any negotiations, agreements or compromise decisions. There is only one condition for negotiations – Russia must leave all captured territories."

Just, wow 🫡

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

Volodymyr Zelensky has warned Vladimir Putin that Ukraine is “very close” to producing a ballistic missile which could be fired into Russia.

The statement came ahead of talks with Sir Keir Starmer and the leaders of France and Germany over how to bring an end to the long-running war.

Single biggest failure of the Trump administration is bullying Ukraine and babying a dictator and his barbaric regime in Russia.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

ZELENSKY: I told Trump that I didn’t play with Putin. For us, it’s very serious. It’s not about cards.

I didn’t have cards, but I had the most important — smart and brave people. This is our card — the card of Ukraine. That’s why we’re now very strong with our drone technology.

[NXT EU @NXT4EU]

Armenia has chosen EUROPE!

The exitpoll indicates that the Pro-European party has gotten 56% of votes.

Russia has tried to sway the vote by a variety of tactics, but Armenians have put their back towards them. The Pro-Russian party has only 17% of votes.

Europe ❤️ Armenia

Shocked residents of St. Petersburg watch Ukrainian drones fly freely over their city. Luckily for them, Ukraine is unlike barbaric Russia. As a result, only military and military-support facilities are being attacked — not the city center itself.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Total collapse at russia's Sochi airport. Thousands of passengers have been stuck there ever since Friday's drone attack.

Always record interactions. 50% of law enforcement officers are heroes who deserve more than we can give them. The other half are like this officer: a jaded, ego-driven freak show. I’ve worked with and run into both types. Cops need to police each other.

Refreshing clarity. Please tell me you feel the same way about Iran. Let’s end this generation’s genocidal dictators.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Last night, the House chose to stand with Ukraine, and I was proud to cast my vote.

We passed military and reconstruction aid for Ukraine, plus hard new sanctions on Russia.

We did it over the objections of Mike Johnson and Republican leadership, who spent over a year trying to keep this bill from ever hitting the floor.

Eighteen Republicans crossed the aisle and did the right thing.

Why does this matter?

Because when a giant authoritarian state invades a smaller democracy, there is no gray area. There is no “both sides.”

Vladimir Putin is a thug. He started an unprovoked war. He flattened cities. He stole children from their families. Helping Ukraine isn’t charity. It’s the test of whether we still mean a single word we say about freedom.

I heard every excuse. The war’s winding down, they said, so let’s wait and see. Nonsense. You don’t strengthen a democracy by going wobbly the second things get hard. You don’t stop the next invasion by telling the world American resolve comes with an expiration date. Putin is watching. So is every dictator who dreams of taking what isn’t his by force.

This bill still has to clear the Senate and survive a presidential signature. The odds are long. But the House did its job. And we said it plainly: no country gets swallowed whole just because a tyrant wants it.

I’ll keep fighting to see this through. Ukraine’s fight is our fight, and we do not abandon our friends.

While Ukrainians are dying, Russians should not be vacationing on European beaches.

In a joint letter, Estonia and 10 other countries have proposed new measures to limit the issuance of EU tourist visas to Russian citizens.

[Eric Goranson @EricGoranson]

Biggest disappointment I have in Trump and MAGA Rs is the weak, appeasing stance toward Russia. They are the biggest agitator committing countless war crimes. Our response? Abandon freedom at best. Assist the enemy at worst. Either way…lame.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

Everything changed the moment Trump walked away and Europe stepped in. Funny how that works.

The EU has mobilised over €75B in military support. Ukraine – the country everyone was supposed to be rescuing – is now exporting its own drone technology to Europe.

And on the ground? Ukraine is systematically destroying Russian supply routes along the land bridge to Crimea, hitting over 125 trucks in May alone. Just trucks on fire.

The country that was supposed to fall in 72 hours is strangling Putin’s crown jewel.

Remember this day. When Ukraine finally celebrates victory, there will be a loser sulking at Mar-a-Lago. JD Vance, Rubio, and Hegseth won’t be on the guest list – because losers don’t get invited to victory parties. That’s just how it works.
