Holy fucking shit. From Platner’s interview with the NYT.

“The Gaza Ministry of Health is just a front for Hamas ... a terrorist organization … We can’t take anything coming out of Hamas, including the so-called ‘Ministry of Health,’ at face value.” — NSC’s John Kirby on Biden saying he has “no confidence” in Palestinian death count

"(My dog) took care of some Nukhbas in Sde Teiman" Judeo-Nazi settler-soldier Elkana Federman was on CH14's HaPatriotim tonight and brought his gun and dog with him. The same dog you can see in the quoted tweet. I hate to think what he'd done to the poor abductees at Sde Teiman. This deranged sadistic psychopath comes from an infamous family of Kahanist terrorists. He was the head of security at the Nova Festival on October 7, and has already been featured on Channel 14 in the past.

Deranged Kahanist settler-soldier Elkana Federman continues to abuse Palestinian abductees in the West Bank, as part of his army service. This time he set a dog on a frightened, cuffed and blindfolded abductee. I don't want to imagine what this Judeo-Nazi sicko does off-camera.



JP Morgan on oil prices/Strait of Hormuz: "A core assumption of our framework is that the accelerating pace of oil inventory depletion will ultimately force the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, one way or another. Our base case envisions the Strait reopens in June—anchored on June 1 for simplicity—following a clear and credible announcement ratified and confirmed by both sides, such as a statement from the UN Security Council."

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…
