Reports from international monitors, local residents, solidarity activists, and human rights groups confirm that Israeli settler attacks involving the torching of Palestinian crops, olive groves, and agricultural fields have dramatically escalated across the occupied West Bank.

Adam Johnson, author of How to Sell a Genocide says in order to carry out a genocide, the US, Israel, and liberal media “needed to make a ceasefire with Hamas politically toxic… politically ‘unserious.’”

To achieve that, he explains, “it became so central [that Hamas and Palestinian resistance] are removed from history. And their grievances are [portrayed as] not secular or political but as instead driven entirely by hatred of Jews.”

“Then a ceasefire becomes not only impossible, it becomes immoral… and then genocide was inevitable.”

ZIOS: it's antisemitic to say Jews control the media

ALSO ZIOS: controlling all the media is a lot of work. "Instead of trying to control the whole world," [yes, that's a direct quote], all we have to do is control AI, because people trust AI and that's where everyone is getting their information.

The aggressiveness of the Israeli intelligence collection on top U.S. officials during the second Trump administration has been “unhinged,” one senior official said …
In 2021, Israeli military intelligence officers were caught planting listening devices at D.I.A. headquarters. Last year, officers from Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, were discovered to have tried to plant a listening device in a Secret Service vehicle.

This is the best review yet of Suicidal Empathy, the new book by Elon Musk's pet demagogue.
In this review @MattPolProf clearly demonstrates how utterly vacuous Gad Saad and his books are.
What remains missing in this and other reviews, although hinted at by @MattPolProf , is a discussion of the outright fabrications and other falsehoods in Saad's book.
This strikes me as more important than the insufferable narcissism that is Saad's trademark, and his kiss up kick down persona, both brilliantly exposed in this review.
I have been going through the text and footnotes, and will have more to say on this in due course.
Will the fraudulent "free speech absolutist" Saad now also refer @MattPolProf to the FBI?

recently Elon Musk and his Mossad handler Nikita Bier banned the accounts of Iranians exposing war propaganda. They gave no reason for the ban. It was a list given to them by the Israel lobby FDD, and they obeyed. One of those banned was Ali Alizadeh, one of the most insightful Iranian analysts whose show is one of the best I've come across at deconstructing the various propaganda lies that are fabricated and spread about Iran, as well as having the most astute and correct analysis of the fake "negotiations", the "ceasefire", and how Zionists and the Israel lobby drive the war with Iran and will continue it until they either accomplish their objective of destroying Iran as a nation and people, as they did in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, or until they are sufficiently deterred by Iran and the Axis of Resistance's military response.

I read his account in translation here for his insights, as well as that of the accounts he followed and had as guests on his show. Now he has two channels, called Jedaal Farsi and English, and you can watch both as a non-Farsi speaker as you can turn on auto-translate subtitles. I highly recommend you do that, as there is no place where you can find more detailed and insightful analysis on Iran than from his show, and the various guests he has on.

Recently he had a show with the great Dr. Foad Izadi, who has also appeared on some English language media like Drop Site and Al Jazeera. He and Ali are both entirely in agreement on the nature of this war and how it should be resolved, and if you want to understand it properly, you should watch it. I agree with their analysis entirely. So I have found a way to download the Farsi subtitles that are auto-generated, and translated them into English and they look good. I'm going to post the full show here, and then also link to it. I will try to do the same for other shows by Ali that are particularly insightful, given that he can no longer post them here himself as he was banned exactly because he is right and is therefore seen as a threat by the Israel lobby.
