🇮🇱🇱🇧🇵🇸 Netanyahu on 60 Minutes just said that the war with Iran “is not over” because “there are ballistic missiles that they still WANT to produce” The Israeli PM greatest hits so far: - Gaza: “We have to destroy Hamas, it's an existential threat” - Lebanon: “We gotta crush Hezbollah + buffer zone!” - Iran: "Nukes!" (since 1992! 34 years ago), then shifted to the "missile stockpiles!" Now just their intent to build missiles? Is he in some metaphysical war here? The man is terrified his mandate ends, and he’s maxing out and endless war, grabbing land from every neighbor. It's the classic case of the goalposts which never stop moving...

I appreciate the intense interest in my column. For skeptics, why not agree on Red Cross and lawyer visits for the 9,000 Palestinian "security" prisoners? If you think these abuse allegations are false, such monitoring visits would be protective. So why not?

Full depravity of Hamas during October 7 revealed for the first time: New report details how terrorists performed almost unimaginable horrors upon Israeli families trib.al/olj7tnv

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

Front page of the NYTimes - accusing IDF & Israelis of "mass rape". Not a single shred of evidence was listed in the piece, other than the testimonies of 14 people, most of whom are connected to Hamas. I'm at a loss for words.
