WATCH: Hillary Clinton said that while she was Secretary of State, Netanyahu and his government repeatedly pushed the U.S. to support military action against Iran.

Her response:

Michael Caine "I voted for Brexit... I'd rather be a poor master than a rich servant... You get lost, and then you find your way, and it will be alright."
This Brexiteer lived in LA, has never been a poor anything, and there are zero consequences for his actions on him.
Here is the full PDF of White House talking points circulated on the MOU. You can glean much of what's in the doc based on how they're selling it and on what Vance and Kushner said in a call with journalists yesterday. Note that the "small gestures" Kushner alluded to were likely include revenue from allowed Iranian oil sales. Now WSJ confirms that is indeed a reward for signing.

Charlamagne asks Hasan Piker if Israel has a right to exist on The Breakfast Club
"I think Israel in its current formation as a settler colonial operation seeking out the complete extermination of the indigenous population, as an apartheid state, does not have a right to exist."
Palestinian prisoner Ayman al-Fakhouri has been released from Israeli prison today after 26 months behind bars without charge or trial, Quds News reported, sharing before-and-after images showing his severe physical deterioration in detention.
Israel’s widespread use of administrative detention allows Palestinians to be held indefinitely on secret evidence for renewable periods, without being told the accusations against them or facing trial. Palestinian and Israeli human rights groups, along with released detainees, have documented systematic torture, rape, starvation, beatings, and medical neglect across Israeli prisons since October 2023, conditions that have left many prisoners emaciated and that have killed scores in custody.
Al-Fakhouri’s gaunt appearance on release echoes that of other freed detainees, including journalist Ali al-Samoudi, who reportedly lost some 60 kilograms during his imprisonment.
This man managed to restrain himself from shooting a charging pit bull and yet somehow a trained cop dropped multiple rounds into a labradoodle. The police are so pathetic.
