🟢 Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced that the “Supreme Planning Council” will soon ratify 1,973 new settlement units across the occupied West Bank—just a day after approving 1,300 in Gush Etzion.
Hamas condemned the move as a “dangerous escalation,” calling it part of a campaign to Judaize Palestinian land and cut off Jerusalem from its surroundings. The group said the expansion violates international law and UN resolutions, urging the international community to stop applying “double standards” and act against Israel’s creeping annexation of the West Bank.
Quds News reports that since the start of 2025, Israel has already approved nearly 30,000 new settlement units across the occupied territory, even as Washington dismisses talk of West Bank annexation.
🚨Breaking: Gaza Civil Defense reports 11 Palestinians killed after an Israeli tank fired on a civilian vehicle in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City. The car was carrying seven children, three women, and a man when it was struck by the occupation army.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.
There's a clear a way to end Citizens United by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.
@ordinarytings They love software as a service even more. You make it once and sell it to the same people over and over and they never own it no matter how many times they buy it.
California has now banned algorithmic price fixing.
The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI.
This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.
HORRIBLE!
Israel uses a quadcopter to assassinate a Palestinian doctor while he's working inside the hospital. The drone shoots him in the head from outside the window of the hospital.
This is not collateral damage - Israel is literally assassinating Gaza doctors while they work.
At this point, we have to be clear:
Israel is no longer trying to deny that it is committing genocide, but rather, it is trying to make genocide permissible and acceptable.
It seeks to kill "Never Again."
All of humanity has an interest in preventing this.
New: Top congressional GOP & WH allies are working behind the scenes to prevent a politically charged floor vote to release the government’s Jeffrey Epstein case files next month, multiple sources tell me @sarahnferris and @mkraju https://t.co/BHWaKjAzSl
Netanyahu has never been in favor of a two state solution. Every action he's ever taken in relation to Palestine has been about preventing a Palestinian state. For *some* reason he only says this when he addresses Israelis but not in his English statements to the West.
במשך שנים מנעתי את הקמתה של מדינת טרור זו מול לחצים אדירים גם מבית וגם מן החוץ.
עשינו זאת בנחישות, ועשינו זאת בתבונה מדינית.
לא כל שכן, הכפלנו את ההתיישבות היהודית ביו"ש - ונמשיך בדרך זו.
המענה לניסיון האחרון לכפות עלינו מדינת טרור בלב ארצנו יינתן לאחר שובי מארה"ב. תמתינו.
Hello, @TeamYouTube , Materia Music Inc. is trying to retract the copyright claims from my Youtube channel that resulted in strikes.
However, due to the channel already being terminated, they are unable to retract the claims.
Is it possible to reinstate my channel?
UCLA just sent riot police to beat up students who were screening a movie about how schools like UCLA sent riot police to beat up students supporting Palestine, on the one-year anniversary of UCLA calling riot police to beat up students supporting Palestine.
There aren’t words strong enough to describe the cowardice and depravity of a “military” that will methodically execute medical workers, bury them in mass graves, and tell the NYT the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without lights on. These soldiers and their superiors are utterly depraved and a threat to all humanity.
Before hiding the bodies in a mass grave, they forgot to grab the cell phone of one of the medics who recorded his own assassination for the world to see — if it cares.
As the “soldiers” are nearing their vehicle, and the medic knows they will murder him, you can hear him saying: “Forgive us, everyone. Oh God, accept me as a martyr and accept my repentance. Oh mother, forgive me, this is the path I have chosen to help people.”
