Analysis

Will Israel-Palestine Be the End of Humanity?

Istrael has "a very generous stock of nuclear weapons. Hezbollah has a very generous stock of missiles & rockets. That's a lethal combination on both sides of the border.

"And many people, including Benny Morris are very eager for an attack on Iran.

"You're sure Benny, you want to attack Iran? You know what Benny.. get yourself an AK-47 & you go attack Iran, but..leave me out of it. You're a maniac."

Analysis

by Marwan Bishara

The ambiguity behind the ceasefire plan is US strategy

Netanyahu says Israel won’t stop the war until it destroys Hamas.

He "is only interested in phase one of the ceasefire proposal because they want to release as many captives as possible & continue the war.

"It’s quite simple: Netanyahu does not want to end the war".

Washington fails to put pressure on it to end the war, even when Biden says “this war must end”.

Panel

"Who's lying? Probably all of them".

~Mouin Rabbani

The White House argues that if the Palestinian group accepts the US ceasefire proposal, Israel will, too.

But as soon as it was announced, Netanyahu reiterated what he’s been saying since Oct 7 – that Hamas must be destroyed.

The panel discusses what's going on.

Fun with the Electoral College.

If These 3 Counties Did Not Exist, Trump Would Have Beaten Biden:

Overall, Biden got 7 million more votes than Trump in 2020 (81,283,501 vs 74,223,975). The most of any President in history. [...]

If we remove just 1...

Future headline: To combat future wokeness, GOP promotes federal book ban ban bans.

"Don't let states tell concerned parents what they can't complain about and which minorities they can't opress" says RNC spokesperson with familial ties to Trump (we at Future News apologize for being unable to narrow down the speaker of this potential quote further).


And by that nonsense, I mean let's applaud Minnesota, Illinois, and Maryland for banning book bans.

Today’s the anniversary of one of the darkest moments in US immigration history, the day that the MS St. Louis, a ship full of German Jewish refugees, was turned back to Germany from Miami. Hundreds of the passengers were killed in Hitler’s death camps.

Today, Joe #Biden blocks asylum seekers from the US

In a shock result, Prime Minister will likely have to seek a coalition government as projections indicate they will likely to fall short of the votes needed for a majority.

This could have significant policy implications in a country which has recently not been our favorite and a regime which has been secretly trying to assassinate dissidents of their regime within the US and other allies’ territory.

Report

The ceasefire plan remains “very confusing”

Biden has announced something that some Israelis say that he should not have announced...
some say he announced it without our approval...
and some say he announced it with Gantz’s approval as opposed to Netanyahu's

Netanyahu is detouring around Biden by speaking to the American public directly. That might have prompted Biden to come out public with a plan.

9 #witnesses in the #criminal cases against #Trump have received significant financial benefits, including large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, & a grant of shares & cash from Trump’s media co.

If any benefits were intended to #influence #testimony, that could be a #crime.

Big show of family support on the 1st day of #HunterBiden’s trial.

In addition to #POTUS’ statement, Hunter’s wife, Melissa Cohen, his sister Ashley Biden, his friend Kevin Morris, Peter Neal, who is married to Hunter’s daughter Naomi, & #FLOTUS Dr. #JillBiden are in attendance.

President #Biden will be in Wilmington, DL, w/no appearances scheduled. But he has given no indication that he would be in the courthouse — a possibility that would require considerable security arrangements.

…Many #jurors said they had read or seen headlines about Hunter Biden’s #gun case over the yrs in local & natl news, but few said they delved into the details. One woman, selected as an alternate, said she first learned #HunterBiden was going to trial on Mon …on her drive over to the courthouse.
She told the court that many of her relatives are gun owners & that she has lost multiple friends to drug #addiction. “I feel it’s an everyday part of the world nowadays,” she said.
