🔸Haaretz journalist Gideon Levy (@gideonle): “An army who is preoccupied in a brutal occupation for decades now cannot behave otherwise. You cannot maintain such an occupation for so many years and remain human. Doesn’t work. Didn’t work in any other occupation in the world. What will make people realize that we are growing monsters in front of our eyes? What will make them be convinced that we crossed any possible line? You know there are six million uprooted people now in the Middle East wandering around from here to there. part of them lost their homes forever in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Iran. Are we really proud to be a country which creates such a reality for 6 million human beings? Isn’t it the time once to look at the truth and say yes, we went too far. our megalomanic dreams, our belief that only by force and only by military force without any restraints will solve the problems. I was today in the West Bank. I’m there every week. There is no exceptions anymore. The pogroms of the settlers, together with the soldiers, together. Planned together, committed together. This is not an exception. This is an army of occupation who cannot operate otherwise but to become more and more and more brutal.” (via @PiersUncensored)

Russian Duma says emergency measures must be taken or the ongoing economic collapse will lead to violent revolution by autumn.

@cathynewman I wanted to send you something via DM as you have skin in a particular game – AI skin to be precise – I don’t want to send it overtly. Please can you DM me.

@BBCSteveR This has to be one of the kookiest newspaper breakdowns, yet.

Today a Russian paper criticises the authorities over internet restrictions and for poor communication with citizens: “[It] causes the population to feel we are not respected, that strange games are being played with us.” Plus, an interview with Lenin's “spirit.” #ReadingRussia

Sen. Warren: "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?" Handsome Kevin: "ummm... errr... " His response raises real questions about whether Warsh is independent of the President and if he has the courage to tell hard truths.

Absolutely horrific night in Ukraine last night - 44 ballistic missiles and 659 drones fired from Russia. Deaths in Kyiv, Odessa and Dnipro. Not even bothering to hide the fact that it is residential areas under attack. Barely on the news outside Ukraine. And @JDVance says he is proud that USA has pulled its support so the aggressor can keep aggressing. Disgusting. But Europe has to do even more now

“You now say that his mental capacity should be examined and he has gone insane, what exactly are you saying there?” @vicderbyshire asks Marjorie Taylor Greene about her criticism of President Trump and his rhetoric towards Iran. #Newsnight

Someone like Danny Danon - Israeli politician and diplomat serving as Israel's Ambo to the United Nations - played a part in the demise of Myska. He tore down kids' pictures at the entrance of the UN building as they 'were anti-Semitic'. One tiny picture had a flag on it - one!

I wonder if he gets a treat once he reaches 'no. 25'.🍨

President Donald J. Trump announces a 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel. "It has been my Honor to solve 9 Wars across the World, and this will be my 10th, so let's, GET IT DONE!"

Israel ‘prohibited’ from bombing Lebanon by order of POTUS

'I thought you needed Congressional approval to launch a war, but clearly that's for the birds.' With rumours that Donald Trump had to be talked out of accessing the nuclear codes, @Tessadunlop condemns the 'failure of American institutions'.

My take on how the #Iranwar has weaponised the international shipping system: piracy, cryptocurrency and the hymns we sang in school. @channel4news channel4news.substack.com/p/iran-war-int…

@lindseyhilsum @Channel4News I am exploring your substack - honestly. But there’s one thing I couldn’t resist, “my word what a kipper!”

Tonight 7pm on #c4news with @krishgm Wales Decides - The Leaders Debate #Senedd26 [and I realise there've been some excellent ones already broadcast but please do tune in!]

Nigel Farage responds to fresh claims about Richard Tice’s tax affairs, dismissing the accusations as politically motivated and stressing that any issues would be handled through HM Revenue and Customs. The Sunday Times reported that Tice, Reform UK's Deputy Leader, failed to pay nearly £100,000 in tax, ultimately benefiting his investment company, which made large donations to Reform UK. Channel 4 News asked whether, given Tice didn't issue a denial, and given his tax affairs are now reportedly directly linked to the party, Farage would investigate.

A video released by the US Central Command showed what it said were Marines seizing the Iranian-flagged cargo ship M/V Touska. It said the ship tried to run its blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and Iran has vowed to retaliate. It comes as concerns grew that the ceasefire between the US and Iran may not hold, and talks between the two sides in Pakistan are now in jeopardy as Iran said it is rejecting the discussions. The US military said it had also fired on an Iranian-flagged cargo ship as it headed towards a port on Sunday, disabling its engines.

@KyivPost Three days ago - Babovka Tuapse.

Ukrainian drones strike Russia’s Black Sea port of Tuapse overnight, killing one and igniting major blaze at oil facility. The attack, the second in less than a week, triggered huge flames and thick black smoke over the port and refinery complex. kyivpost.com/post/74287
