Pentagon DIA says Israel has ramped up spying on US officials since Trump showed interest in a deal with Iran

Israeli human espionage and technical collection is at a ”critical level,” the DIA states

Israel placed Stingray spy devices throughout the White House during the first Trump term

The “uninvolved civilian” they shot at was a SEVEN MONTH OLD BABY.

His name was Sam Fahd Abou Haikal.

Over three months later, we are still at war.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The genocide seems unstoppable,
Necrocapitalism seems invincible- but they are not!

All we need is UNITY. COORDINATION. PERSEVERANCE.

Keep Protesting. Striking. Boycotting. Litigating.

Not just once.
All the times needed till the Apartheid ends and the system which fed it too.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The more Netanyahu prevents the war with Iran from ending, the more obvious it becomes that he convinced Trump to start it.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

The situation unfolding right now is the perfect example of why the majority of the American people have either outright rejected or are at least requestioning the US-Israeli relationship.

Currently, there is an obvious divergence between the US interests and the goals of the Israeli government.

We desperately need a deal to end this disastrous war and save the global economy. Trump obviously wants that at this point and has already said Israel was forbidden from attacking Lebanon. (You may recall every pro Israel account on here claiming this as proof that Trump calls the shots). The ceasefire that the President of the United States of America wants depends on Israel not attacking southern Lebanon.

So, Israel announces they’re doing it. The best Trump can say is no boots on the ground and he won’t even hold on that.

This is a country whose very survival let alone ability to conduct any of these elective wars is completely dependent on US tax payer money, and support. We unconditionally support them even as they undermine our nation.

This is beyond intolerable. You can call all of us every name in the book but it’s just too obvious.

Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.

Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

The British government is saying they're banning me because I am "a serious risk to the public order" due to my criticism of Israel.

They say that my charge that Israel controls the American government through donations to 94% of Congress, while factual, is antisemitic nonetheless. Don't know if facts will soon be banned in Britain.

I didn't get banned for criticizing the UK, but for criticizing Israel. They broke the irony record by saying it was because I said Israel might control other governments. I wonder if they're going to ban themselves.

Think about it - if I had said that the Israeli government controls the British government so thoroughly that they'll ban someone from coming to the UK just for criticizing Israel, they would have said that was an antisemitic statement. This is absolutely Kafkaesque.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Note that the UK Government just banned entry of two American citizens -- @cenkuygur and @hasanthehun -- not because they criticized or worked against the interests of the UK.

It was solely because they criticize and oppose the one country deemed sacred and off-limits in the UK and so many other wester countires: Israel.

The UK under Labour is also regularly arresting its own citizens for peacefully protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza (including old British ladies and countless Jewish activists at these protests, though they remain free to protest *in favor* of Israel or against any other country).

This is all driven by the same dynamic that caused the Trump Admin -- as one of its very earliest top priorities last year -- to force US universities to expel American students protesting Israel, to deport others who merely criticized Israel, and to implement aggressive speech codes to protect Israel from common criticisms (even though one is free to say all the same things about any other country, including the US).

Why does this one small country command such special, elevated, supreme status and attention in so many western countries? It's way past time to give that question the attention it deserves and to finally put and end to it.

🔴 NEW: An Israeli drone strike on a motorcycle in Adoussiyeh, south Lebanon, killed a couple and left their young child wounded and bloodied, and crying beside their bodies, according to local reports and footage from the scene.

Journalist Hadi Hoteit said the strike hit near Ghaziyeh, between Sidon and Tyre, in an area many residents believed was safe.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

A former senior colleague of Raffi Berg, now the BBC's Middle East online editor, forensically analyses his output as a BBC writer.

It shows a consistent pattern of humanising Israeli soldiers and settlers while dehumanising Palestinians, and burying information that might place Israel in a bad light – talents that seem to have led to his promotion to BBC editor.

Martin Asser concludes: "The world Berg presents in his early BBC features is a rich source of misinformation and / or disinformation."

This article should prove useful to Owen Jones' legal team as they fight Berg's defamation case. Jones cited 13 BBC journalists who accused Berg of skewing the corporation's coverage to make Israel look good.

At this point it sounds like AP is celebrating Israel’s unlawful occupation of Lebanon.

💢 An Israeli strike has completely destroyed the restaurant and resort of Hussein Fayad, a Lebanese chef from southern Lebanon who has been cooking daily meals for displaced civilians across the country since the war began, according to @HadiNasrallah and a fundraising page for his efforts.

Fayad had been preparing and distributing fresh meals for more than 600 displaced people, orphans, and elderly residents in care institutions daily — despite the war devastating his region. His resort, described as one of the most beautiful places in the south, is now rubble.
