You posted an accusation two days before submitting the complaint. Stolen grain is imported by tens of countries, but you thought you could use Israel as your whipping boy. Same vibe when demanding money from the US. Israel should forbid the unloading of the grain -- because that's the right thing to do -- and then tell you to pound sand for anything you want in the future. You know, I've supported Ukraine throughout this conflict, despite the pressure campaign against the US for more support. But you vote against Israel at the UN, you support the PLO, your government is riddled with corruption where American taxpayers see their funds get used for exotic cars and lip injections for girlfriends of oligarchs. Enough. I'm done. Don't ask Israel or the US for anything ever again. We don't owe you jack.

Ukraine has officially addressed Israel through diplomatic and legal channels, requesting action on the “PANORMITIS” vessel. The Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine has submitted a relevant request to the Israeli authorities based on a Ukrainian court ruling to arrest the vessel as part of the ongoing investigation. The vessel is suspected of carrying a grain cargo that was illegally transported from a closed port in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine in violation of international law and Ukrainian legislation. This is not Twitter diplomacy, but a very concrete legal and diplomatic request for international legal assistance that necessitates a response. We expect the Israeli side to take it seriously rather than responding with emotional statements.

Marches and banners in the UK calling for ‘intifada’ haven’t helped anyone in Gaza. They’ve put anti-semitism at the heart of identity politics and made this country unsafe for Jews. It’s shameful.

Misinformation or disinformation? You’ll find in the community notes of Israeli Fm Gideon Sa’ar’s response to Ukraine's Fm Andrii Sybiha earlier today a reference to an MFA statement. It establishes that on March 23, Ukraine “informed” Israel about the Abinsk and the possible occupied-territory origin of the cargo, and “emphasized the inadmissibility” of import operations. This is linked in the community notes and is supposed to substantiate that “Ukraine submitted a legal request for previous ships. Those requests were ignored.” The record shows that this claim is false. Here’s the actual sequence as Kyiv itself has now laid out and which has been corroborated by Israeli reporting via Barak Ravid at Channel 12 and Axios. On March 23, Ukraine’s ambassador in Tel Aviv delivered a diplomatic note about the Abinsk. Three weeks passed. On April 12, the Abinsk arrived in Haifa and began unloading. On April 14, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha personally called Sa’ar requesting the cargo not be accepted. It was only the following day, the day Abinsk completed unloading and the vessel sailed on April 15, that Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office transmitted the formal MLAT, including the court arrest order from April 8. On April 16, Sa’ar texted Sybiha directly stating the ship had departed and could not be detained. On April 20, Israel sent its formal written reply citing the departure and insufficient evidence. So the procedural channel was used. But it was used in a way that arrived as the operational moment closed. The MLAT finally arrived the day the vessel left port, after it unloaded and its goods entered Israeli commerce. Importantly, the buyer told Haaretz's investigative reporters that Russian suppliers stated this is wheat originating from Siberia, sent west in train cars, with documents “confirming this.” The piece itself notes that Israeli buyers have no way of checking whether they were lied to. The buyer further told Haaretz they only realized the source after the Ukrainian embassy contacted them. That undercuts President Zelensky’s “knowingly purchasing stolen goods” allegation on X. The community note’s claim that “Ukraine submitted a legal request for previous ships. Those requests were ignored” elides this timing and details of the actual event. In the real world, the MLAT was not ignored. It simply arrived too late to prevent unloading. When the Israeli foreign ministry is asking for these formal legal requests and evidentiary package, it’s not because it’s saying “we don’t want to recognize that you might have a claim here” or “you may have no legitimate grievance.” It is saying we need to understand under what mechanism and under what criminal statutes we need to investigate this in order to give you a serious finding -- because ultimately this isn’t something Israel is doing at the state level. This is private commerce that needs to be investigated. And when you realize that Israel is being asked to act as an enforcement arm for a sanctions regime it isn’t party to, on an evidentiary basis that is only formally presented after the moment to act has passed, against private commercial actors whose alleged wrongdoing depends on legal characterizations that are themselves contested, you start to understand that this is not Israel sparking issues with Ukraine, but the other way around. The public generally speaking has little attention span for absorbing these details, which is where deception and social media become a match made in heaven if you’re looking for a way to cause a target country a headache. The better question is why.

@MarioNawfal Israel and Lebanon are in a ceasefire, but Hezbollah decided they are not, and we have to protect ourselves. This is the reality Hezbollah is forcing on Israeli civilians: just 15 seconds to run for shelter every time a siren sounds. This is what the past 24 hours in northern Israel have looked like. Rockets have been fired at Israeli communities. IDF troops have been killed. There’s an active and ongoing threat along our northern border. In addition, in recent days we’ve had a soldier killed and many more injured from Hezbollah attacks. There’s one side refusing to abide by the ceasefire, and that’s Hezbollah.
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel and Lebanon are still technically under a ceasefire, but the IDF continues hitting south Lebanon. Israel says it’s preemptive: disrupting attacks before they happen. So, let me get this right: EVERYTHING is a target now?

You’re a loathsome propagandist. There’s nothing, absolutely nothing that connects the suffering of Black people in America to the brutal, genocidal terror organization, Hamas. To suggest that is insane but you’re a rape denier that lied about the findings of the UN, HRW, and Amnesty, along with many others who confirmed the sexual violence that took place on October 7, so our expectations were low!

Allegations of rape and sexual violence against white women were one of the most commonly cited justifications for lynching Black men in America, though the historical record shows these charges were routinely fabricated or grossly distorted. Statistics show that about one-fourth of all lynchings from 1880 to 1930 were actually prompted by an accusation of rape. In fact, most victims were political activists, labor organizers, or Black men and women who simply violated white expectations of deference. White mobs used these allegations to enforce segregation and advance stereotypes of Black men as violent, hypersexual aggressors. The brute caricature of the hypersexual Black male was a myth used to justify the violence, which in turn functioned as a social control mechanism to instill fear in Black communities — sending messages not to register to vote, not to apply for white men’s jobs, not to organize, not to complain publicly. This caricature gained in popularity whenever Black people pushed for social equality. Journalist and activist Ida B. Wells was among the first to systematically document and expose this pattern. In 1892, she published Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases, which connected names, dates, and identities to individual cases of lynchings and rape accusations to show that that the rape narrative used to justify lynching was a deliberate fabrication, writing, “nobody in this section of the country believes the old threadbare lie that Negro men rape white women.” She documented that the true motivation for lynching was the enforcement of racial hierarchy. No independent international human rights organization has confirmed a single case of rape by Palestinian fighters on October 7.

Hasan Piker says the designated terrorist organization Hamas is 1,000 times better than Israel. His statement outraged many — who now just want to write him off. That's a mistake. He has a massive audience and is emerging as one of the major voices of his generation. Those of us who disagree owe him — and his audience — a real argument. Here's mine … And my position doesn’t come from ignorance about oppression. For a big chunk of my life, I was a grassroots activist — because of the pain of my own people. During those years, I was lucky enough to learn from elders who had been in the Black Panther Party, in SNCC, in the ANC. These were people who had to choose whether to pick up the gun — and how to use it if they did. They taught me this: even in armed struggle, there are principles. No women. No children. No rapes. No kidnapping. Mandela held that line. Amílcar Cabral held that line. You don't become what you're fighting. Hamas fails that test. They are not fighting for MORE freedom for Palestinians. They're fighting for less. They want theocracy, not democracy. And their means? They don’t use principled armed struggle (hitting military targets). They use terrorism (targeting civilians). The vast majority of Americans — including those who sympathize with the Palestinian cause — reject terror tactics. Reasonable people would agree on three principles: secure homelands for both peoples; no hatred for Jews or Muslims; and protection for all civilians. Hamas’ approach undermines all three. That's the conversation Piker's audience deserves. Not name-calling.

🚨The report indicates that Mojtaba Khamenei is unable to oppose the Revolutionary Guards, and with the death of Ali Khamenei, there is currently no force that can challenge or restrain them. The practical implication is a more aggressive foreign policy and tightening control and supervision in the domestic arena

You can state the obvious until you're blue in the face (for instance, it's COMPLETELY INSANE to believe that Trump allowed a bullet to whiz by his head for a bump in polling) but the conspiratorial vibe in American politics is pretty hardy.

BREAKING: Hardcore Ukraine supporters inform me that Zelenskyy turning a blind eye to Turkey buying stolen Ukrainian grain is OK because Turkey donates munitions to Ukraine. So, because Israel doesn't send free things to Ukraine, Z put them on blast. That's called extortion.
Matt Tardio@angertab

Zelenskyy SILENT on Turkey (Türkiye) purchasing stolen grain, but he slams Israel. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is raising quite a stink about Israel allegedly purchasing stolen Ukrainian grain from Russia. This story first appeared in a Reuters article on 04/15 titled "Ukraine broaches 'stolen' Russian grain cargo on call with Israel". The Ukrainian FM took to the internet and put Israel on blast by expressing the need to refrain from buying such products. According to the Reuters article, "Ukrainian official ​estimated in ⁠August that Russia has stolen 15 million tons of Ukrainian grain since the ​start of the full-scale war". So where is it all going? I am glad you asked. Literal tons upon tons have been pouring into Turkey since 2022 and it continues to this day. As a matter of fact, the Abinsk's next stop after Israel was Turkey. Shocking. Surely Zelenskyy is very upset about Turkey continuing to buy the grain off of the EXACT SAME BOAT THAT DOCKED IN ISRAEL! Nope. 6 positive posts about Ukraine's relationship with Turkey have appeared on Zelenskyy's X account in April '26. A search of Zelenskyy's X account for anything negative for "Turkey" or "Türkiye" yield zero results from what I found. Why? Zelenskyy thinks Turkey will protect him from Russia and help him get into the EU. I guess stolen grain is a small price to pay.

The pro-Hamas militias in New York City (they’re wearing Hamas headbands) have entered a new phase of their derangement in the name of being “pro-Palestine” while protesting. Apparently, it is now acceptable to call random Jewish people “pedophiles” and label them as the “Epstein class” just because they happen to be eating at a Jewish restaurant. Imagine doing this to Palestinian, Arab, or Muslim-owned restaurants. Despite the existence of vast types of pedophilia in the Arab and Muslim worlds, where child marriages are legally protected in many parliaments, and despite the vast Muslim-majority child grooming and rape networks that have been exposed in the United Kingdom, we didn’t see “pro-Israel” protesters engaging in this kind of behavior. We didn’t see the attack, harassment, and sieging of Arabs, Muslims, and Palestinians in Europe or the United States while they were dining at restaurants. This behavior is primarily flowing in one direction – and that is shameful, disgusting, and should be embarrassing. Freedom of expression should not be a free license to engage in antisemitism, hate, violence, and thuggery, especially by the same people who are the first to cry about racism and “Islamophobia.” Shame on this disgusting movement of hate, for it is neither pro-Palestine nor does it embody the values of Arab hospitality or Islamic compassion and kindness. Ban the pro-Hamas, pro-terror movement in the Western world now!

Turkey has been receiving shipments of grain from Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory since 2022. Even stranger, it mixes its grain imports to produce flour which it sells back to Ukrainians. Stranger still, it has involved the same Abinsk vessel that unloaded at Haifa in mid April; it then sailed to the Turkish port of Canakkale and onward to Istanbul. But Turkey controls the Bosporus and Dardanelles, has been a key Bayraktar drone supplier to Ukraine, brokered the Black Sea Grain Initiative, and is one of Kyiv’s most important non-EU partners. And note, the BSGI did not cover grain loaded at the occupied Ukrainian ports of Sevastopol, Berdyansk, Mariupol, Feodosia, and Kerch; grain transferred ship-to-ship at sea and re-papered through the Russian ports of Port Kavkaz or Temryuk; or grain laundered through Russian customs declarations claiming Russian origin when the actual loading occurred in occupied territory. Yet the Kyiv-Istanbul relationship is too valuable to publicly eviscerate. So why Israel? Why now? Why so loudly? The laws related to Ukraine’s allegations touch on Israel’s Judea and Samaria or West Bank posture, legally and diplomatically. That’s in fact a complex minefield. Israel is trying to answer Ukraine narrowly on cargo-specific proof of theft, false origin, sanctions exposure, or unlawful Russian certification. As Israel Foreign Minister Gidon Sa’ar said today, the Tax Authority opened an investigation, however, “The vessel has not entered the port and has yet to submit its documents. It is not possible to verify the truth of the Ukrainian claims regarding the forgery of the bill of lading. Up until this point, the Ukrainian government has not submitted a request for legal assistance. They submitted tweets. This [formal request] is required when the claims concern criminal acts committed abroad. Nor has the Ukrainian government provided evidence for its claims..." Trade in goods from occupied territory is not clearly prohibited per se as a general rule. But where the goods are produced, certified, taxed, routed, or marketed through the occupier’s asserted authority over the territory, the transaction becomes vulnerable to non-recognition, non-assistance, resource-exploitation, and reputational arguments. So Israel is taking a narrow defensible legal approach. But it does not prevent critics from saying, Israel is therefore recognizing the principle where Ukrainian land is occupied, but denies it in occupied Palestinian land -- which is contested, contrived and overbroad, but the reputational exposure is real in a hostile information environment and legal optics are not merely decorative, since international law is partly made and hardened through state practice, diplomatic acts, official statements, voting behavior, and claims of legal obligation. Ukraine’s claim against Russian grain is not frivolous, but the way it is being mobilized against Israel is politically loaded. It is therefore fair to raise the issue of GCC alignment and the regional agenda of eroding Israel’s diplomatic standing, especially when it touches upon the Palestinian issue. In late March, Zelensky signed 10-year defense cooperation agreements with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, with further security talks underway with Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Ukraine has deployed more than 200 counter-drone specialists across the Gulf, with personnel confirmed in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan. Ukrainian specialists have participated in shooting down Iranian Shahed drones in the region, not as training exercises but as active defense support. The total scale is “several billion dollars” across all partners for 2026 according to Ukraine’s Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, with UAE pre deal inquiries for 5,000 interceptor drones and Qatari interest in 2,000 units. When in Rome do as the Romans do, goes the adage; when in MENA, complicating Israel's standing is the tradition after all.
