what happened over the past few days is pretty amazing. The Israeli regime knew Nick Kristof was going to publish his NYT piece on their actual systematic rape of Palestinians including children and the use of dogs to rape, so they fabricated a new "report", the most insane one yet copy-pasted together by a proven fraud that repeats all the already debunked falsehoods and relies entirely on known proven hoaxers, and they actually got the NYT, BBC, CNN, AP, Reuters to launder it for them a day after the Kristof piece came out to bury it. They own the entire media class completely.
1/ The @nytimes just published one of the most serious sets of allegations imaginable against Israel – claims of systematic sexual violence, including a bizarre story about carrots and trained rape dogs. We checked the sources. What we found is journalistic malpractice. 🧵
When I criticize a senile Dem, they call me a Republican. When I criticize a senile Republican, they call me a Democrat. Starting to think they just don’t want me talking about the gerontocracy
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…
What’s weird about this days long crash out from @arash_tehran is that nobody is saying you need to form some new political party with MTG or even say anything nice about any of her history or any of her other views. Not hard to say, ya know, I think she’s the worst person ever but I’m glad she’s standing up against genocide and war with Iran. Not being willing to say even that is a choice. I get why AOC won’t, MTG has been personally vicious toward her for years, stalking and harassing her at her office, etc. But it is just an obvious statement of fact that when it comes to war and genocide and defending Epstein’s victims, she stood up when it mattered and paid a price for that. And it’s fine to say that’s a good thing she did.
Last time I was in Cuba I met a man whose mother was dying an extraordinarily painful death from rickets. She was 100% treatable with Vitamin D and calcium, which are in our breakfast cereal in the US. So yes I think it’s good to bring vitamins and medical supplies to Cuba.
Bill Gates on the View last year: “The next pandemic could be far more severe than COVID.” At what point do people start realizing this man keeps predicting pandemics because he’s planning them.
@Timodc I don’t think he lies, even that clip that went around with the Antichrist stuff he was contrite and seemed to actually forget. I know him somewhat.
JVL gives Platner somewhere between a 5 and 33% chance of being the Dem nominee in 2028. And I don't think that's crazy at all. Floated similar on a pod last fall. Before you scoff - read the case! thebulwark.com/p/platner-2028
i was really looking forward to interviewing mallory mcmorrow (candidate for US senate) today. her team asked if i’d have her on my show, but they cancelled after i said we’d cover “healthcare and foreign policy” and offered no possibility of rescheduling. :(
