An Israeli soldier throws a stun grenade into a car carrying a Palestinian family, trapping them inside for the full blast. Their 5 year old daughter was made permanently blind. Imagine this was a Jewish family? It would rightly be on every news station.

I’m trying to imagine being 20 years old and being ordered to torture an elderly celebrated physician who’s being endlessly detained without charges. Most would refuse that order. It’s an indictment of Israeli society that they seem to have no problem finding people to do it.

When Obama murdered Gaddafi, he didn’t just kill a man. He slaughtered the hope of an entire nation and a rising continent. Today Libya lies in ruins, open-air slave markets thrive, and chaos reigns — all thanks to NATO’s war criminal-in-chief. Barack Obama is a glorified butcher. Never forget.

⚡️⚡️⚡️I am accused of being “pro-Russian” the moment I state basic facts about the war or express disagreement with Zelenskyy's policies of endless escalation. Often it’s bots, but sometimes also people from the comfortable West who genuinely believe they understand Ukraine and this war better than I do — someone who has covered the conflict since the very beginning in 2014, visited Donbas multiple times alongside Zelenskyy, participated in negotiations, helped craft communications for the President, and remained in the country when the full-scale invasion began in 2022. I was shelled, narrowly survived, traveled across the country helping civilians in need, and reported intensively as a journalist. Yet now some dare to label me pro-Russian simply because I refuse to support the primitive populism that allows Zelenskyy to prolong the war, profit from it, and cling to power. So let me be perfectly clear: Everyone who hurls this accusation is acting against my country. Everyone who buys into Zelenskyy’s illogical drama, who is willing to fight Russia with Ukrainian blood while ignoring the suffering of ordinary people — you are acting against Ukraine. By shamelessly supporting Zelenskyy’s policies, you are defending the current status quo and this means: Ukraine reduced to a permanently bleeding nation where people merely survive under constant Russian shelling and Kyiv’s increasingly authoritarian rule; Massive human rights violations, with men hunted on the streets, forcibly conscripted, beaten, tortured, and sometimes killed in recruitment centers; Rampant corruption — almost every close partner, friend, or high-ranking official around Zelenskyy has faced accusations of money laundering or other graft, while companies run by his inner circle receive billions in Western tax money; Putin started this war, but Zelenskyy figured out how to profit on it greatly; Crushing poverty, including average pensions of just $180 per month; A catastrophic demographic crisis — last year, three times more Ukrainians died than were born; Educational collapse, with at least one-third of Ukrainian children receiving no proper schooling and many fourth-graders unable to read; Brain drain, mass emigration, societal depression, and generational trauma that will take decades to heal. Some people are so eager to see Russia burn and so enchanted by Zelenskyy’s primitive role-playing that they choose to remain blind to the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Ukraine. To me, that makes you anti-Ukrainian. If you truly want to fight Russia, go to the frontlines. Stop censoring Ukrainians who call for peace. Sitting comfortably in the West and attacking those who demand an end to the slaughter does not make you a hero — it makes you miserable and hypocritical. Remember this the next time your fingers itch to type another offensive comment.

Who on earth could have predicted that a moral panic and remarkable misinformation effort could have resulted in such a public health risk... theguardian.com/science/2026/j…

SHARE! On this day in 1954, Israel carried out the Lavon Affair, a false flag terrorist campaign that would’ve seen American and British civilians and military personnel murdered for Israel’s personal gain. (What’s new?) They recruited Egyptian Jews to plant bombs in American and British civilian targets: cinemas, libraries, post offices, and cultural centers. The goal was to frame Egyptians and drag the U.S. and Britain into war against Egypt. A bomb went off prematurely, exposing the plot. Several operatives were caught and executed. This is how Israel operates. Share this.

30 years ago, Kyiv was a wealthy European city where almost everyone spoke Russian and there were no linguistic or cultural conflicts. Ukraine had good relations with all our neighbors. Then, an armed coup took place, funded by the West. Today, Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe and has become a global center of scam. Authorities are in conflict with all neighbors and threaten Russia, Belarus, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland... Today, Ukraine is a world center of crime. This was done by the West. Many Europeans still don’t understand that they will have to fight and die in the war for these criminals.

British veteran journalist Peter Hitchens is raising very uncomfortable questions today in the Mail on Sunday about the West's double standards. The title of the article is: "Are we villains? If Putin had done what the West did, we would be outraged". He points out that the Western press, joyfully commenting on the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran, did not even mention the death of his one-year-old granddaughter: "NO ONE in the US government ever directly commented on her death, let alone apologized. It seems that it's the Iranians' fault that they had a little girl when the US decided to kill her grandfather in a surprise attack". He then asks to imagine the uproar in Europe if Russia had done the same as the Americans did with the girls' school in Minab or what the Israelis did with Gaza. In conclusion, Hitchens concludes: Maybe it's worth trying something else? For these suggestions, of course, I will again be called a pacifist, a traitor, etc. This mindless nonsense is drowning debates in countries that have allowed primitive propaganda to supplant thought. If we continue in this vein, we are heading for a complete national catastrophe. Yes, few dare to ask such obvious questions out loud in the mainstream Western press.

Best World Cup ever. Storm delayed games, hydration breaks, fans refused visas, Iranians treated like vermin, referees refused entry, cops kicking off over players taking pictures with kids, Infantino crying it in for Argentina and now a pedo bending the rules. Good job👍

@DavidSneyd @Dubliner76 It didn’t have that integrity on the pitch to lose. Far too many dodgy refereeing decisions have occurred well before this.

Does anyone not believe now that #FIFA wouldn’t conspire with the US to make this competition more difficult for other competing nations at Trumps request? Rescinding that red card for the US brings the entire World Cup as a fair competition into question.

World Cup a metaphor for US destruction of rules based international order.

The US sees itself above any laws legal or otherwise. It has been cheating throughout this tournament by interfering with and disrupting competing teams playing in the US with Infantino & FIFA’s support.

@EthanLevins2 It wasn’t Ukraine it was the US.

#WorldCup2026 just keeps getting more & more corrupt 🤷‍♂️ countless examples of clear corruption, cheating & double standards. Infantino is an absolute disgrace & should be removed immediately. US should never be awarded a tournament again for its interference #BoycottWorldCup2026

The US🇺🇸, responsible for this barbarism in Iraq, is the same country claiming it sanctions, bombs, and invades other countries to ‘defend human rights’.
