Journalists at the @nytimes saw a photo of a man being tortured, so naturally they reached out to the people torturing him to get their permission to report on it and give them the first word.
A rocket hasn't been fired from Gaza in 18 months. And Hamas has handed administrative control over to a technocratic interim committee. Yet the apartheid state continues killing children daily. Almost as if it's a holocaust and not a war
“Some U.S. officials said they were concerned that Israel shared the intelligence [about an alleged Iranian plan to assassinate Trump] to influence U.S. decision-making toward a return to all-out war with Iran…” https://t.co/vvgvXq713h
Yesterday, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich publicly stated that U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff privately told him on January, 30 2025, "I won't let two million Nazis live next to your children [along the Gaza border fence]".
🔴 Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff privately told him “I will not let two million Nazis live next to your children along the border fence,” referring to the besieged population of Gaza, half of them children, in remarks reported by Israel National News.
Smotrich said the conversation took place on January 30, 2025, when Witkoff met him alongside then-Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer in Jerusalem, a day after the envoy toured Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor and viewed footage of the October 7 attack, which Smotrich said left him visibly shaken. Recounting the exchange, Smotrich added: “There is only one thing that hurts the enemy: land.”
The account is Smotrich’s alone; Witkoff has not commented. The alleged remark came days before Trump publicly unveiled his plan to take over Gaza and transfer its population.
The phrase mirrors Smotrich’s own rhetoric: in November 2023 he declared “there are two million Nazis in Judea and Samaria,” and he has argued Gaza needs Jewish settlement because otherwise “there will be two million Nazis who want to destroy us every morning.”

Twenty-year-old U.S. citizen Sama Safi has been held without charge in Israeli occupation detention for over five weeks.
On June 2, Israeli occupation soldiers stormed her family’s home in Ramallah, occupied West Bank, and detained her.
Her family says they have no access to or contact with Sama, and her whereabouts are still unknown.
Netanyahu spews lie after lie about settler violence and @DanaBashCNN just nods along. You have failed at your job at the most basic level. You are the reason Palestinians are being terrorized and murdered every day in the West Bank. So much blood on your hands, including my own.
I need everyone to differentiate Keith Porter Jr’s murder bc it is an egregious example of the times we are living in- he wasn’t murdered by ICE during an immigration action nor protest. A random man murdered him in his own yard &used his position as ICE agent to get away with it
