🇺🇸🇮🇷 NYT published a visual investigation showing the reported U.S. dropped a 2,000-pound Mark-84 bomb on a family home on Iran’s Qeshm Island.

A husband, wife, and their 2-year-old son were killed. 2 other children were pulled out alive.

The crater and fragments match one of the largest conventional bombs in the American arsenal, dropped in a packed residential neighborhood.

According to the report, the U.S. says it was hitting IRGC targets.

The pictures raise the obvious question of what exactly was being aimed at, and why a weapon that size was used there.

“Our job is to show the images, to interview the people who are so often not heard.” Amy Goodman of @democracynow tells me what drives her mission, as seen in the new doc Steal This Story, Please! “It’s the only way you can have a meaningful democracy: if people have information they can trust.”

According to Trump's 20-point peace plan that everyone signed on to, Israel was supposed to stop striking Gaza, allow in humanitarian aid and stay within the yellow line (53% of Gaza) for now. They have done NONE of those things. And now, they're defying US plan for Hamas disarmarment and saying they won't withdraw from any of the 70% of Gaza they've taken.

Objectively, they're perpetual liars and they're obviously doing all this to take Palestinian land. There's no question about it - but US press won't ever tell you about all of Israel's violations, betrayals and lies. Because they view it as their job to lie to you to protect Israel's interests. That is enormously strange for a bunch of people pretending to be objective.

🇮🇷 Six months of war.

The UN just put a number on it: more than 2,500 children in Iran killed or injured.

Not “casualties.” Kids.

While the rest of the world scrolls to the next story, these children are the ones still paying.

This isn’t fading into the background... It’s still happening.

The fact that the US is admittedly destroying the only international court which holds war criminals responsible for crimes in order to protect a mass murderer in the midst of a genocide should be the worst political scandal of all time. But no one cares.

To anyone defending this as "standard behavior between allies": Have you ever seen the Israeli Knesset hold a "Long Live America" celebration?

No, of course not. Because they are a virus, and to them, America isn't an equal partner — it’s just a host.

Israeli authorities mark the new Trump Board of Peace agreement with massive air strikes targeting residential blocks in Gaza in the middle of the night.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel buried another brutal abuse case and walked away clean

3 Palestinians were grabbed in Wadi al-Seeq right after October 7. Soldiers and settlers beat them for hours, stripped them, tied them up, photographed them, pissed on them, burned them with cigarettes, and tried to rape one of them.

The military investigation is now closed. Zero charges. Prosecutors claimed they couldn’t identify who did it.

This is the pattern. Documented torture, international outrage, a few soldiers quietly dismissed, and then the case disappears. Another file stamped shut while the same abuse keeps happening.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israeli Minister Smotrich:

“Gaza is the biggest prison in the world. People are being held there by force, against their will, and they're not allowed to leave.

It's a terrible thing. Just open the gates and let Gazans leave.”

Like… seriously?!

WTF is wrong with this dude? Gaza is not a prison; it is a LIVING HELL, largely because of HIS GOVERNMENT.

The arrogance is beyond repulsive at this point!

⚡️ NEW: Drop Site News spoke with the parents of 22-year-old Mahmoud Al-Drimli, who identified him as the blindfolded Palestinian man in a viral photograph showing two female Israeli soldiers smiling as they pose beside him.

Mahmoud disappeared on November 2, 2024. His family said they had received no information about him until recognizing him in the image. Drop Site’s Mohamed Ahmed spoke in Gaza with his mother, Aida Al-Drimli, 50.

“The moment I saw the picture, my heart was at peace and I was happy. But at the same time, when I saw him in that state, my heart broke,” she said through tears.

Aida said her son disappeared while trying to return from southern Gaza to Gaza City, where his brother remained. Repeated appeals to the Red Cross and other institutions produced no information about whether he was alive, imprisoned, or killed, his family told Drop Site.

“These are the [Israelis] who claim to be ‘the world’s most moral army,’ yet they publish pictures like this,” Aida said. “My son has done nothing wrong. He simply longed to return to Gaza City.”

“Where are human rights in all of this?” she asked. “Not just my son, all the prisoners. All of them are experiencing horrors in prisons.”

🇮🇱🇺🇸 Netanyahu got caught on tape working to kill his own war crimes warrant

The New York Times reviewed recorded calls from October 2024 where Netanyahu and the late Senator Lindsey Graham cooked up a plan to stall the ICC arrest warrant closing in on him.

The move was to weaponize sexual misconduct allegations against ICC prosecutor Karim Khan. Netanyahu called it "the great cloud" that could justify pausing everything, telling Graham the stain "has to be removed" and pushing him to get senators to send a letter.

On a second call that day Graham said "we got them both," meaning Democrats Blumenthal and Cardin were on board, then joked, "pay me for all this."

The letter went out November 1. It didn't work, and the ICC issued the warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant three weeks later.

The twist is that Khan was actually forced out as prosecutor last week over those same allegations, so the cloud they wanted finally did the job, just a year too late.

This is as clear a confirmation that you can get that settler terrorism/violence is state backed, and that this government is trying to destroy Palestinian life in the West Bank just like it did in Gaza- but in different ways and by varying means.

This is why you don’t start a war without clearly defining your desired end state, outlining how that end state will be achieved, anticipating how the enemy will react, & specifying the metrics by which you’ll know you’ve achieved the end state.

Otherwise, you will inevitably end up with what we have now—a bombing campaign in search of a strategy.
