🇬🇧 An additional 264 police officers have been deployed, including armed units and drone teams, to protect London's Jewish communities following the burning of private ambulances. "The public will see visible firearms officers patrolling the streets. We are also deploying specialist assets – from drones to our mounted branch – to keep these communities safe. We are working particularly closely with Jewish schools and synagogues to ensure our protective security measures are as robust as possible," Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor said.

In the next 6 months, we could see new governments in Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba. If we end up with governments in those countries that want to be friends with America, that’d be the biggest geopolitical shift since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

BREAKING: Volkswagen is in talks with Israel’s Iron Dome maker over a deal that would switch production at one of their factories from cars to missile defense, per FT. The German government is actively supporting the proposal.

Ashab al-Yamin has claimed an attack in the city of Antwerp, Belgium. This is the seventh attack the group has claimed against Jewish and Western targets in Europe since March 9. Ashab al-Yamin claimed that Appelmansstraat, a central street in Antwerp known for its diamond district, was a target of its attack due to the street's connection with the local Jewish community. The group's messaging casts the attack as part of a broader, escalating campaign tied to the "liberation of Palestine" and retaliation for Palestinians, Lebanese, and other Muslims. --- The video appears to be authentic but it shows some signs of amateur production. It is important to examine if local reports in Antwerp have verified that an arson attack occurred in the area in recent days. Oddly the video does not provide a date of when the arson occurred unlike the previous videos published by the group. Also, it appears the group used a translator like Google Translate to publish its message in English. There is a period at the beginning of the last sentence in the group's statement, indicating a translation app may have been used.

And yet still the framing is the US *joined* Israel's war on Iran 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

Governor Gavin Newsom says he regrets using the term apartheid in relation to Israel, and says he used it the same way Tom Friedman does--as a term that describes where Israel is heading under Netanyahu, not a term describing the current reality. politico.com/news/magazine/…
