Watch Isabelle Adjani read from Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses in French as she accepted the César award for best actress in 1989. The year Islamists first slapped a (constantly renewed) fatwa on the renowned novelist, stabbed today in New York.

Another settlers’ attack on West Bank Palestinians being launched in front of our very eyes. It is Israel’s shame that IDF is enabling it, and that @IL_police is not arresting every single terrorist and thug. I have absolutely nothing to say that can justify this cascading Jewish intifada. My only hope is to oust the evil government that supports these fascists.

BREAKING: Following calls for another pogrom tonight in the West Bank, Israeli settlers have begun gathering at the entrances of Palestinian villages and towns. This video is from the entrance of the Palestinian village of Umm Safa. Pray for the safety of vulnerable and defenseless Palestinian civilians facing these unprecedented levels of settler terrorism.

Iran likely prepared long in advance of the current war for a scenario in which it would attack the Diego Garcia. Yet the UK had been prepared to hand over sovereignty of surrounding Chagos Islands. Did London miscalculate the threat? A glaring blind spot wsj.com/livecoverage/i…

These are the kind of wild antisemitic scrawls that used to only show up in hate mail incidents. Nowadays you can get an art exhibition out of it.
Zoe Strimpel@realzoestrimpel

In Margate. My cheeks are red. I am shaking. I popped into an exhibition that turned out to be the insane fever dream of an artist called Matthew Collins: ‘Drawings Against Genocide.’ The exhibition is described as ‘drawings… raising consciousness about hell…. Israel is the pure encapsulation of it. Zionism is this terror state’s ruling ideology.’ Shocked by the use of Nazi imagery - the room is full of the Star of David pasted around figures meant to be Israelis and the Jewish ‘lobby’ spewing blood, to say nothing of blonde yummy mummies wearing ‘globalise the intifada’ shirts, I spoke to the artist to share my reaction as a Jewish person. He was instantly aggressive. As soon as I started to say I was shocked and threatened by what I was seeing because it was Nazi imagery, the artist started yelling at me that I didn’t mean anything I was saying. Anytime I tried to speak (calmly) he said: ‘you don’t mean any of what you said, you’re just repeating ‘hasbarah talking points’ because ‘you’re defending a genocide’. On and on he yelled, in my face. I said: ‘if I was a Black person…’ but couldn’t finish the sentence because: ‘you’re not are you?’ On the Nazi ideology point he said: ‘yeah. Why do you think it’s there. Israel are the Nazis’. His breath was disgusting. The crowd began booing and closing in around me, making to shoe me out. I said: ‘fine, get the Jew out’ and he yelled more across the room at me, ‘repeatedly jeering ‘call the police, go ahead, call the police’. I said I would, and the community security trust, which features as a devil in his exhibition. This was met with even more jeering. ‘Yeah, call the CST’ was the last I heard before leaving. Someone snapped pictures of me while I was being shouted at. Short video shows the artist. The longer video, of our final almost surreally disgusting exchange, didn’t record.

During a stopover in Dresden, at the station kiosk, I happened to come across a newspaper that is virtually nonexistent in the western parts of Germany and that most Germans hardly ever heard of: the Berliner Zeitung, also dubbed “Berlinskaja Pravda” for its pro-Putin stance.

In its latest issue, it features an extensive interview with Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vučić. Title: "It will be difficult to avoid the third world war". The interview is at times friendly to the point of servility, but it does contain some interesting passages.

A voice from Gaza: “I lived in my home for only four months, then came a flood of death and destruction. May God curse whoever was responsible.” While Hamas sympathizers outside Gaza praise Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack, people in Gaza are calling it a “flood of death.”

This is both wrong and incredibly counter-productive. Lebanese state infrastructure must not be harmed. Israel should be seeking ways to empower the Lebanese state, not weaken it. Israel tried destroying Lebanese state infrastructure in the disastrous 2006 war and this did not help weaken Hezbollah. By the way, this station supplied electricity to Christian, Druze and Sunni villages south of the Litani, to people who remained in their homes and are trying to prevent Hezbollah from operating in their villages.
Ahmad Baydoun@weatherwar

After the series of strikes on bridges over the Litani, Israeli strikes are now targeting electricity infrastructure. This substation supplied power to more than 60 villages across Bint Jbeil, Marjayoun, and parts of Tyre. Geolocated: 33.205576, 35.409794 @GeoConfirmed

Israeli settlers carried out a pogrom for over 6 hours across the West Bank, targeting more than 14 villages, and no one stopped them. The Israeli army was fully and completely complicit in what unfolded.

Either these terrorist settlers are not Jewish anymore, or I am not a Jew anymore. I know the answer. My Jewish values, secular and humanist, are far more genuine than their thuggish uber-nationalitic glee. We will keep fighting against this hostile takeover of Judaism.

This morning, you will see a flood of statements from Israeli officials and ministers condemning the settler pogroms in the West Bank. Ignore them--they ring hollow. Behind the scenes, they are not just indifferent but actively enabling and supporting Israeli settler terrorism.
