— ‘The conversation began with the words, ‘We understand you know about the prosecutor.’”

Megiddo said it was “explained that if I published the story I would suffer the consequences and get to know the interrogation rooms of the Israeli security authorities from the inside”.

“In the end, it was made clear to me that even sharing the information ‘with my friends abroad’, referring to foreign media outlets, would lead to the same results.”’

The terrorist Israeli occupation gives humanitarian organisation #UNRWA 30 days to leave East Jerusalem.
In a masterstroke of projection, it intends to declare UNRWA, part of the UNO, established in the late 40s to bring relief to those fleeing the #NAKBA, a terrorist organisation.

The "axis of evil" expands🚨:

Musk & Trump's ties are deepening. They've discussed a possible advisor role for Musk should Trump win the pres. election. Musk & N Peltz have briefed Trump on a data-driven voter fraud project & anti-Biden efforts.

They discussed ways to give Musk formal input & influence over policies related to border security & the economy (Musk has no expertise in...), both issues on which Musk has grown more vocal.

Days after dozens of Palestinians were killed by Israeli air strikes against displacement camps in Southern Gaza, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley wrote “Finish them!” on Israeli artillery shells.

L'ex-canditate à l'investiture républicaine Nikki Haley, lors d'un passage en Palestine occupée, s'est amusée à écrire un message sur une bombe prête à être larguée sur #rafah Le message est clair : "FINISH THEM" qu'on peut traduire par "finissez les" ou mieux "Tuez les tous", "Finissez le travail."
