A new bill in Congress would extend some U.S. military benefits to the estimated 20,000 Americans currently carrying out the Gaza genocide as members of the Israeli military.

Report

Netanyahu supported Hamas in order to split the Palestinian leadership & prevent a Palestinian state.

"Before Oct 7, Netanyahu..encouraged Qatar to fund Hamas, seeing Hamas's existence as a way to split Palestinian leadership & avoid pressure on Israel to enter negotiations about a Palestinian state. Utter cynicism." @ KenRoth (Musk)

"Netanyahu..avoided talking publicly about the funds.. secured from Qatar for Gaza over the past decade."

What are US student protesters demanding?

The protesters are calling for universities to divest from corporations that profit from Israel’s war on Gaza.
They are also demanding that universities severe academic ties and collaborations with Israeli universities and programmes.
Demonstrators want an end to US military aid to Israel. Washington provides more than $3bn annually in military aid to Israel.
They are calling for more financial transparency about university investments.

Analysis: recent poll on voter intentions

About half of all voters would replace both candidates on the ballot.

62% of Biden-supporting voters would replace Biden.

Voters have little confidence in either Trump or Biden, including re fitness for office, personal ethics & respect for democratic values.

Pew research shows 49% of registered voters favor Trump, while 48% support Biden.

    @mondoweiss @palestine @israel It’s truly amazing how quickly Israel’s standing and reputation (regardless of whether they were merited) has fallen, and how much the Israelis still persist in the same course. They are one election cycle away from losing most of their enablers.

    My impressions are 100% the same as Bloomberg reports below. Russian channels barely mention”Ukrainian trace” and instead raising hate towards Ukrainians they are highly critical (to put that lightly) about the failures of internal security services.

    According to members of Putin’s entourage, there is no evidence linking Ukraine to the attack. Despite this, Russia’s leader is determined to use the terrorist attack to rally fellow Russians around the conflict in Ukraine. Furthermore, Bloomberg reports that Kremlin officials were taken aback by the security services’ failure to prevent attacks on civilians.

    / Turin University Sparks Controversy Over Boycott of Israel

    The University of Turin has sparked controversy by deciding not to participate in a scientific tender with Israel. The decision was made in protest at the civilian deaths caused by Israel in Gaza. While the university insists this is not a boycott or expression of anti-Semitism, Jewish organizations raised concerns about the potential for discrimination and exclusion within Italian universities.
