A Palestinian man, nervous and excited to become a father, left Rafidia Hospital in Nablus for a quick stop at the local supermarket while his wife was getting ready to give birth to their child. The Israeli occupation raided the area, and shot him in the head. He was pronounced dead in the same hospital his son was born in.
Si nous avions dirigé la France, nous aurions arrêté le carnage à Gaza. Nous aurions fait un front du refus du génocide. Nous serions allés chercher les Espagnols, d'autres pays européens, asiatiques, ou latino-américains. Ensemble, nous aurions affirmé notre refus de la guerre, notre défense du droit international et la nécessité de punir les criminels de guerre. Nous aurions instauré un embargo sur la vente d'armes à Israël, nous aurions suspendu l'accord commercial entre Israël et l'Union européenne jusqu'à cessation des hostilités. L'économie d'Israël ne peut pas vivre sans l'Europe. Ils auraient été obligés d'arrêter le carnage.
🫏 Senior Democrats are reviving the foreign policy group National Security Action, co-founded by Jake Sullivan and Ben Rhodes, ahead of the 2028 race, Axios reports, naming Maher Bitar, a Palestinian-American, to lead the effort. 🔹The group aims to shape Democratic foreign policy and build a pipeline of staff for a future administration, according to Axios. 🔹Bitar served on President Biden’s National Security Council before leaving in 2023 to work for Adam Schiff. 🔹Sullivan, who later became President Biden’s national security adviser and was a key architect of U.S. policy backing Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and Rhodes, a former top Obama foreign policy aide who has described the war as a genocide, remain involved as the party faces deep internal divisions, especially over Israel. The party’s foreign policy direction is now described as “wide open.”
Report from Nabatieh on recent war crimes, Israeli attacks on Lebanon, current death toll and my footage from today the town of Haboush, which is currently under a forced displacement order. 13 people were massacred there last week. Cameraman: @aliezzedine00
Update: The IDF's West Bank chief admits that soldiers are permitted to shoot Palestinian stone-throwers, but not Israelis: "I'm not sure that opening fire on every Israeli stone-thrower... would help."
I just spoke with @GrahamForMaine about Tucker Carlson telling the NY Times' @LuluGNavarro he wants to meet Platner. I asked Platner if he'd appear on Tucker's show - and how he thinks about engaging with conservative media. Full interview will be on The Lever's YouTube page.
🚨Iran Warns Trump Against Any U.S. Military Action in the Strait of Hormuz In response to President Trump’s announcement the US plans to “guide” merchant ships out of the Strait of Hormuz, in an operation CENTCOM says will involve guided-missile destroyers and 15,000 service members, a senior Iranian official told @DropSiteNews that Iran’s leadership rejects any attempt to alter “current conditions” in the Strait and will respond forcefully. Trump’s action “is primarily intended to provoke Iran into taking an initial step toward confrontation, thereby creating a pretext for escalation and enabling him to justify further military action in response to an Iranian initiative,” the Iranian official said. “Our definitive position is that any commercial vessel attempting to transit through designated restricted routes without prior coordination will be promptly intercepted by Iranian forces. Should U.S. military vessels respond, such actions would be met with an immediate and corresponding response from Iran.” "The U.S. military vessels are far from the corridor area. If commercial vessels attempt to move, they would be engaged well before reaching any American ships," the official added. "Trump has effectively turned them into bargaining tools in his political game."
They baked a baby. In an oven. THEY BAKED A BABY IN AN OVEN. THEY BAKED A BABY IN AN OVEN. Say ceasefire one more time, you fucking baby-murdering-loving ghouls.
Oh, wow: I genuinely didn't realize there were any people left who still believe the long-debunked and twisted lie that Hamas, on October 7, beheaded babies, but apparently there are some still who believe it (or pretend to), and one of them is the US Ambassador to Israel @GovMikeHuckabee. A total of 1 baby was killed on Oct 7 (10-month-old Mila Cohen). She wasn't beheaded, nor baked in an oven, nor cut out of her mother's womb. Nobody died in those ways. Those were demented lies invented by Israeli officials and endlessly circulated by western media (and, in the case of the "beheaded babies" fabrication, affirmed by Joe Biden who, in Israel, falsely claimed he saw videos of it). The one baby who was killed on Oct 7 was shot with her family. This doesn't mean October 7 was any less this or any more that. It's not about mitigating this or defending that. It's simply about truth. What all this does mean is that multiple now-debunked lies were told on purpose about Oct 7 and people, especially with high positions in government like Mike Huckabee, should stop repeating those lies as if they're true. Debunking lies about wars and events that provoke wars is a vital function of journalists, historians, and anyone who cares about truth.
Met w/ @GeorgeDeek Israel's Envoy to Christians. George is himself Christian. If Israel is hostile to Christians as Tucker Carlson says, they aren't very good at showing it! @Israel is only nation in region w/ growing Christian population.
