This is Israel, world Multiple IDF soldiers assaulted an elderly Palestinian man on farmland in the village of Ghaziwa. Repost this. Please I beg you

JUST IN: The United States has fired 2,400 Patriot interceptors in 31 days. It manufactures 650 per year. Replenishment at current production takes three and a half years. It has consumed 40 percent of its global THAAD inventory. It produces fewer than 100 THAAD interceptors annually. Full replenishment takes four to five years. Each interceptor contains neodymium and samarium-cobalt magnets sourced from Chinese-controlled supply chains. The US defence rare earth stockpile has approximately two months remaining. Read those numbers again. The US military has consumed more precision weapons in one month than it can manufacture in three years, using materials it can only source from the country it may need to fight next. Every Patriot fired at an Iranian Fattah-2 over Riyadh is a Patriot that does not exist for a Chinese DF-21 over the Taiwan Strait. Every rare earth magnet consumed in Gulf interceptors is a magnet that cannot be installed in a replacement built for the Pacific. The Iran war is not just depleting American arsenals. It is depleting American deterrence against China. And the country counting the interceptors from both sides of the table, as supplier and as future adversary, is the same country hosting peace talks in Beijing right now. China controls 90 percent of rare earth refining. China produces 90 percent of the world’s high-performance magnets. China buys 80 to 91 percent of Iran’s oil exports. China provides BeiDou navigation and ammonium perchlorate propellant to the Iranian missiles that are forcing the US to burn through its interceptor stockpile. China is simultaneously the supplier of the weapons America is using, the supplier of the weapons Iran is using, the primary customer of the oil the war is disrupting, and the only country with the leverage to end the disruption. The arithmetic of the grand bargain is not complicated. The US needs Chinese rare earths to rebuild its interceptor inventory. China needs Hormuz open to receive Iranian oil. The US needs the war to end before its stockpiles hit zero. China needs tariff relief, semiconductor export control rollbacks, and Taiwan arms-sale restraint. Both sides need something only the other can provide. The question is not whether a deal happens. The question is how much of America’s strategic position in the Pacific gets traded for the minerals needed to survive the Gulf. RAND estimated that 78 percent of US defence contractors would face production shutdowns within 90 days of a Chinese rare earth cutoff. The 2027 deadline to ban Chinese-sourced magnets from Pentagon procurement is nine months away with no domestic alternative at scale. MP Materials operates the only US rare earth mine and ships its concentrate to China for processing. The mine-to-magnet supply chain that the Pentagon needs to survive a Taiwan contingency runs through the country the Taiwan contingency is designed to deter. This is not a supply chain problem. This is a civilisational dependency. The United States built the most advanced military in human history on materials processed by its principal strategic competitor. It is now fighting a war that burns through those materials at a rate that makes replenishment impossible without the competitor’s cooperation. And the competitor is sitting in a conference room in Beijing today, across the table from Pakistan’s foreign minister, calculating exactly how much of America’s future it can extract in exchange for the minerals America needs to have a future at all. The deal of the century is not a choice. It is arithmetic. And the arithmetic leads to Beijing. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

🕵️ New: U.S. embassies to coordinate with Pentagon psy-ops unit and Elon Musk: 🔹Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed a cable Monday ordering all U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide to run coordinated campaigns against what it calls foreign “anti-American propaganda,” according to The Guardian. 🔹Embassies are instructed to recruit local influencers, academics, and community leaders to spread messaging that appears locally driven rather than directed by Washington. The cable also promotes X’s “Community Notes” feature as a crowdsourced way to counter anti-American narratives “without compromising free speech or privacy.” 🔹The directive tells diplomats to work with the U.S. military’s psychological operations unit and use X—owned by Elon Musk—as a key tool, describing it as an “innovative” way to counter disinformation.

BBC: Trump says you are the obstacle to peace. ZELENSKYY: Ukraine is not an obstacle to peace. Russia attacked us. We need clear conditions to end the war and reliable security guarantees so that the war does not start again. We do not want to live through this hell again.

A retired Major General drops a massive bombshell. He confirms Pete Hegseth's Christian nationalist rhetoric is completely illegal and divides the military. He warns that forcing a specific religion on troops destroys unit cohesion and violates the Constitution.

Israel is the first state which has a death penalty for one race but not another since Nazi Germany.

King Charles is technically the king of Canada. He is about to make an official state visit to the United States. I strongly object to this “reward” to the Trump administration. Charles does not represent my Canada with this visit.

BREAKING: Israel has confirmed its soldiers will not be joining the US in the ground invasion of Iran, due to the concern that they would have to fight grown men, rather than unarmed women and children

Was the UN deliberately targeted by Israel? A UN Spokesperson confirms the exact coordinates of UN facilities are completely known to the IDF. The strikes on peacekeepers inside their bases were not accidents. The world is watching these blatant war crimes unfold.

BREAKING: Trump plans to betray the U.S. Marines by sending ICE agents to their graduation events to target their family members who may be undocumented. He's going to brutalize their loved ones and then ship them off to war... The revelation comes directly from the Marine Corps itself, which made the announcement. Under the heightened security measures implemented due to Trump's Iran War, everyone who enters a Marine base must present REAL ID. Undocumented immigrants are generally unable to obtain REAL IDs. Anyone who shows up at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island in South Carolina will be asked to produce their identification documents. If they don't have the proper documentation on them, they'll be funneled to face ICE agents who will presumably harass, terrorize, and detain many of them. “While the Marine Corps routinely coordinates with federal partners on security matters, this is the first time in recent memory that federal law enforcement agencies have supported base access operations at Parris Island in this capacity,” said a MCRD Parris Island spokesperson. "To help ensure a smooth and timely process, guests should bring proper identification and limit the number of items they carry onto the installation,” they added. The Parris Island website cites “increased force protection measures” at the recruit depot and explains that "federal law enforcement personnel will be present at installation access points to conduct enhanced screening and lawful immigration status inquiries during recruit family and graduation days." DHS — an infamously dishonest agency under this administration — is insisting that "ICE will not be making arrests at the basic training graduation in Paris [sic] Island, SC." Of course, that's exactly what they'd say if they were hoping to lull migrants into a false sense of security. These people put no stock in the truth. The only thing that matters to them is pursuing their fascist agenda. If they aren't planning on detaining people, why will ICE be there at all? Graduation will be held this Friday but families are invited to begin their celebration of their Marine loved one's accomplishments starting tomorrow. The Marines have been unable to see their families during the 13-week long boot camp — and now some of them will have to worry about those very same families being deported. Consider the profound impact on morale that a move like this has on our soldiers. Trump is currently mulling a ground invasion of Iran, possibly sending thousands of Americans to die in a war of aggression on behalf of Israel. He's considering asking these Marines to die for a foreign country — and at the same time he's moving to harass and terrify their families. Our service men and women deserve better than this. Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump has betrayed our military!

This is Israel🇮🇱. Limor Son Har-Melech is a far-right politician and Deputy Speaker of the Knesset. In the picture, she holds a noose and a syringe, supporting plans for the death penalty for Palestinians.

Hey MAGAs, the crazy thing about the Epstein files is that enough of them have already been released to change your mind, and it didn't work. You are being willfully blind

“ Alligator Alcatraz was a place of torture.” Maikel describes being chained hand and foot for daylong stretches. He had to ask loved ones over the phone, when allowed to call, what time it was, because there were no windows and no clocks in the facility.wlrn.org/government-pol…

Hey @BBCNews any chance of reporting Israel’s passing of the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners? You know, just when you get a minute.

A disgraceful move by the National Press Club to platform Israel’s ambassador to Australia today after Israel overnight introduced an apartheid death penalty regime for Palestinians.

FINALLY: Some coverage on trump's cognitive decline. This entire country should be embarrassed that he's our President. That story about the pen and his call with Sharpie? Never happened.

This is ethnic cleansing. Out in the open. Slobodan Milosevic was (rightly) indicted and demonized for this behavior.

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one ‘race group’. Israel is now the most racist state the world has ever known. Shame on every government, every company, every individual who offer it support.
