We are returning to @Substack!

🚨"She's a scoophound reporter, a brilliant editor, and a clear-eyed leader," writes Bari Weiss, about her new Israel First CBS hire. "Shayndi," the incoming international editor, "is NONE OF THOSE THINGS." @ggreenwald goes into Shayndi Raice's dubious UNRWA reporting for WSJ.

❗️"I need to show you who she is," @ggreenwald says while discussing CBS News's incoming pro-Israel editor: "I was SHOCKED!" "[Shayndi Raice] is COMPLETELY EMBEDDED in the Israel First community in the United States. ... Choose someone more subtle!"

🇮🇱🚨"But in Bari Weiss's case, it's not that she's bringing in people with a big audience—she's bringing in people whose only qualification is EXTREME LOYALTY TO ISRAEL." @ggreenwald describes how at CBS News, Weiss and the Ellisons hire and fire based on one issue: Israel.

‼️"The Southern Poverty Law Center was PAYING people in the Ku Klux Klan, as part of the Charlottesville rally, to be their informants." But that isn't illegal. @ggreenwald explains what the DOJ would need to prove in order to show that the SPLC funded domestic terrorists.

🚨"This has not been a SUDDEN SHIFT for Tucker." @ggreenwald condemns those that belittle Tucker Carlson's repentance for supporting Trump. "He came to see [neoconservatism] as something INCREDIBLY REPUGNANT and destructive" after Iraq. This apology is no different.

‼️"Four days ago, we were told that the Iranians were on their knees, BEGGING TO SURRENDER—and now they won't even negotiate!" @ggreenwald on how Trump has now given the Iranians an INDEFINITE ceasefire, thereby undermining the false narratives he's been spreading:

"We're talking about CIVILIZATIONAL ANNIHILATION ... for a country that has never attacked the United States—never attacked the American homeland," @ggreenwald explains to Piers Morgan. "The reason we say, 'War is a last resort,' it's not a cliché. It's supposed to be the highest human moral mandate!"

‼️Glenn Greenwald: "I don't think we need to sit here and dissect [Trump's] Truth Social post as though it's some hieroglyphic from ancient civilization. Trump has REPEATEDLY made statements like this!" Piers Morgan: "How can America, when another nation commits [a morally reprehensible] act—how can they play the moral card going forward?" Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald): "Well, we can't, and it wasn't just today. We're fighting wars constantly, now with the American president threatening civilizational annihilation."

🚨Glenn Greenwald: This war is happening "for the SAME REASON that the Iraq War was launched based on total lies—" Rob Schmitt: "But he trashed the Iraq War!" Glenn Greenwald: "The people that you're interviewing, who are selling the Iran War to your audience, are exactly the SAME PEOPLE who sold the Iraq War!"

‼️"You're really CONFLATING two EXTREMELY different things." This isn't taxpayer money going to our bases in Germany or South Korea—it's aid going to a foreign country. @ggreenwald shreds the claim that giving aid to Israel is the same as funding the U.S. military abroad.

🚨"The Trump family, and the [people] around them, are PROFITEERING in a way that makes Hunter Biden look like a small-time shoplifter!" @ggreenwald says. "I spent a lot of time on the Hunter Biden case. I had a media outlet I founded—that I quit when they wouldn't let me do the reporting I wanted to do on it." What's happening now is "on a completely different scale."

"I've never seen a president who's MORE poll aware," but "the one poll that he's Helen Keller on is the Israel one—and the Epstein one." @JonesDanny asks @ggreenwald why Trump is only comfortable hemorrhaging support on this one issue.

Israel and its allies aren’t just shameless: they’re PANICKING as their narrative collapses. @ggreenwald breaks it down with @JonesDanny.

"We give more intelligence tech and surveillance data [to Israel] than any other government in the world," and yet our CIA has known for decades that Israel is a "leading intelligence threat," similar to China and Russia. @ggreenwald on the costs of this 'special relationship.'

"This isn't Davidson College," or some progressive student body, "this is the United States government!" @ggreenwald dispels the myth that there is a symmetry of censorship between pro-Israel and pro-Palestine speech on college campuses across the U.S.

"Pete Hegseth has the AUDACITY to criticize Iranian leaders for wasting money ... on their military." "What?! That's the United States!" @ggreenwald says.
