It's been almost 11h since it was revealed that Trump's ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, met with an American who betrayed his country and spied for Israel. Still, Trump hasn't fired Huckabee yet. Why? The traitor, Jonathan Pollard, had handed over so many classified

MBS came to Washington in search of deals for his country, and he got a lot of what he wanted. But not a formal defense pact, at least not yet. Who has the leverage here? w/ @tparsi of @QuincyInst: https://t.co/U5ewXChPJw

The polling and survey group data produced for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, obtained by Drop Site, found that the best way to salvage Israel’s reputation was to increase fear of Iran. So we get this stuff:
Mossad just exposed how Hamas, a proxy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has been quietly building a full terror infrastructure across Europe. Networks in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Turkey, weapons hidden in Austria by the son of a senior Hamas official, operatives

Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich: "“We are killing the idea of a Palestinian state — day by day, hour by hour — with more than a hundred farms that already span over 700,000 dunams. These are state lands that we hold so the enemy won’t seize them."

I watched this five times because I just couldn’t believe it. Then I went and looked up the full YouTube recording of the entire panel and watched it. And… I just… I can’t escape it. The things this woman is saying are profoundly, utterly… EVIL. Psychopathic. Horrific. Grim.
Fmr Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz laments to Jewish Federation that people are finding content from "Al Jazeera and Nick Fuentes" on social media and seeing videos of "the carnage in Gaza." Holocaust education has backfired in part as people see Palestinians as Jews' victims,

"This is why so many of us can't have a sane conversation with younger Jews." The level of condescension is quite remarkable

WOW! @RepThomasMassie tells reporters that Trump has tried to stop the release of the Epstein files to protect some of his donors, but also because "Epstein had close ties to our own intelligence agency and Israel's intelligence agencies."

@tparsi @frd_w_k Huckabee meets with Jonathan Pollard but he can’t be bothered to acknowledge much less meet with American citizens being attacked by Israeli settlers
If I am killed in the West Bank, please know that I blame you personally @GovMikeHuckabee. I was set up by the IDF to be attacked by 100 armed settlers. When I sent the embassy the video and asked for protection for me and everyone else in Turmus’ayya, they literally said no.

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe. Le Monde has a long article ( https://t.co/YMCO5sHYcL) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants
