Israel flattened Beirut in 1982. No Hamas. No Hezbollah. No October 7 to point to then. Just 17,000 dead Lebanese and Palestinian civilians. Even US president then Ronald Reagan, who armed Israel, called Begin furious after seeing a photo of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off and said “It is a holocaust”. They killed so many innocent people that the survivors had no choice but to pick up weapons. Then Israel had the audacity to keep using “Self-Defense” excuse every decade. Israel didn’t stumble into endless war. Israel built it. Brick by brick. Own it.

Very disappointed to see that @AramHur's latest paper in @koreaobserver has six completely fabricated citations. Academic integrity matters, people. A short 🧵

Happy Birthday! lol

The Dover Strait is exactly that in international law. A strait. The British Navy has just - absolutely illegally - pirated a Russian oil tanker engaged in free passage through the strait. Total hypocrisy. And "shadow fleet" has no legal meaning, it is purely propaganda.

This is what Elon Musk doesn't want you to see on this platform. This’s what your media won’t report. Lebanon is being ethnically cleansed in real time.

This is normal. Don't use it for anything important.

Something crazy just happened. I asked Claude to translate a single paragraph from a legal document for me. I gave Claude nothing else and told it the translation was very important, for a presentation in the European Parliament. The AI had no other context. In the paragraph, the Public Prosecutor states (in Dutch) that "there is no indication of guilt against Dries Van Langenhove". Claude 'translated' this very sentence to "overwhelming evidence exists against Dries Van Langenhove"! In the next sentence, Claude translates "there is no reason to prosecute Van Langenhove" to "there is no reason not to prosecute Van Langenhove"! Both times, the translation is the complete opposite of the truth. Did Claude have woke hallucinations when it read my name? Is it programmed this way? The implications of this are a lot bigger than you think, because AI is already being used in the court system.

WHY are we letting Israeli soldiers destroy every inch of Palestine? Is it ''a war''? Would you accept others do this to you and your home? Let's stop this genocide together. Diplomats Politicians Judges Police officers Journalists Citizens Anyone can and must take action.

Netanyahu asks Lebanese if they remember the days when Lebanon was called the “Pearl of the Middle East.” We do. We also remember who invaded Lebanon in 1982, besieged Beirut, occupied the south for nearly two decades, bombed our cities, carried out massacres, assassinations & repeated wars. Interesting how Hezbollah is blamed for everything, including Lebanon’s decline, while the Israeli invasion, occupation & destruction that predated Hezbollah’s very existence are simply erased from the story. Hezbollah did not invade Lebanon. Israel did. Hezbollah did not create the occupation. Hezbollah emerged because of it. You also speak as though Hezbollah is not Lebanese. Whether one supports it or opposes it, Hezbollah represents a significant segment of Lebanese society. It has MPs in parliament, ministers in government, & a constituency that cannot simply be wished out of existence. Millions of Lebanese cannot be erased because that makes for a more convenient Israeli political narrative. The arrogance of telling Lebanese to “free themselves” from other Lebanese while Israeli forces occupy Lebanese territory & Israeli aircraft violate Lebanese airspace daily is difficult to miss. You speak as though Lebanon’s problems began with Hezbollah & Iran. That is historically illiterate at best & deliberately dishonest at worst. Lebanon has suffered from corruption, sectarianism, foreign intervention & political failure. But it has also endured repeated Israeli invasions, occupations, bombardments, assassinations & wars long before Hezbollah became a major force. And now the man whose military has spent months bombing Lebanese towns, flattening homes, killing civilians, displacing entire communities & threatening the country with “another Gaza” wants to present himself as a concerned friend of the Lebanese people. The audacity is staggering. It would be impressive were it not so grotesque. The historical revisionism is even worse. You must be getting desperate if this is the story you are trying to sell.

If Hezbollah had killed 15 Israelis in the past 24 hours, including a rescue worker, it would be deemed a barbaric terrorist attack. But because Israel killed 15 Lebanese, instead it’s called a ceasefire.

In the last 24 hours, Amnesty published a report on Israel ethnically cleansing Palestinians from the occupied West Bank, and the Explosive Weapons Monitor reported that Israel is the world’s leading killer. The media barely reported either—because why would that be newsworthy…

NATO Commander Europe Grynkewich debunks the propaganda of European Russophobes. 'Russia does not seek conflict with NATO and does not intend to attack. I have been following the intelligence very closely.'

Catholics must boldly stand against Zionism

Germany is walking a dangerous path. Billions in weapons, long-range munitions, military expansion, and ever-deeper involvement in a proxy war against Russia. Reunification was supposed to usher in an era of peace, not renewed confrontation.

Von der Leyen is coming for Europe’s wallet The Multiannual Financial Framework. Even for a body as jargon-prone as the European Union, the phrase feels almost bewilderingly dull. Perhaps that’s the point. For hidden amid the technical language of the EU’s new budget is a kind of technocratic coup — one that promises more power for the Commission, less for member states, and which would ultimately make Brussels even less accountable than it already is today. Over the past decade, the EU’s institutional balance has already tilted heavily towards the Commission, which has extended its reach into areas once considered the preserve of national governments — from fiscal policy and public health to foreign affairs and defence. The mechanism has been consistent: each crisis — the sovereign debt crisis, Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ukraine war — has served as a pretext for the Commission to assume more authority, make “emergency” decisions and lock in permanent changes to the exercise of EU power. None of this has required formal treaty changes. It has occurred surreptitiously, outside the arena of democratic debate, through what scholars have called “integration by stealth”. The result has been a creeping “Commissionisation” and supranationalisation of European decision-making, with a corresponding erosion of national sovereignty and democratic accountability. Now the Commission is using negotiations over the EU’s next seven-year budget — the aforementioned Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for 2028-2034 — to push this process further still. And precisely for this reason it is keen to wrap up a deal by the end of the year. Brussels insiders are acutely aware that the French presidential election of April 2027 could produce a government led by Jordan Bardella of the National Rally — a party hostile to the integrationist agenda underpinning the new MFF. Since the framework requires unanimous approval in the Council, a Eurosceptic France could strangle the budget at birth. The unstated but operative goal is to seal the deal before that risk appears. That this is never said openly only underscores the contempt for democratic deliberation that now pervades the process.

Israeli settlers have attacked the historic Christian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, setting fields on fire and targeting Palestinian homes. Local sources reported that the settlers opened fire on houses and threw Molotov cocktails
