A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.

The man accused of being 'Hamas royalty' and a senior terrorist is a scientist - a technocrat who taught in the UAE (where they hate Hamas more than anyone). That explains why his son speaks such good English. Nuff said.

DOOCY: Would Palestinians have the right to return to Gaza if they left during the rebuilding? TRUMP: It would be my hope that we could do something really nice, really good, where they wouldn't want to return (A reporter can be heard yelling, "It's their home, sir!")

Israel killed the last remaining orthopedic surgeon in Northern Gaza today. Dr. Saeed Joudeh was on his way to the hospital when Israel shot him in the head. He was not a combatant. He was a doctor devoted to saving lives.

I missed this news about Syria. In 2016, Russian propaganda produced yet another stomach-turning project. They made a calendar with Syrian girls thanking Russians for protection. The quote in the picture says, "I rest assured while my land is under your control." More below🧵

Possibly book Tucker on a trip to Manchester, Copenhagen and Berlin to embrace science history. Might pick up a few new brain cells, too ... maybe not. #Numpty 🙄
