The Strait of Hormuz may be fully open under the U.S.-Iran MOU, but the real legacy of the war is psychological. Governments, markets, and shipping companies have learned that one of the world’s most important waterways can no longer be taken for granted.

Israel has been ethnically cleansing parts of Syria, as it has done the same in Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza. A Drop Site News report documents how Israel has seized land in southwest Syria's Quneitra since Assad's fall on December 8, 2024e xpelling residents, demolishing homes, and conducting ,arrest raids. Mohammed Al-Ali, 50, was evicted from Al-Hamidiya that night. "They barely gave us ten minutes to get out." Israel later demolished his home, reportedly because it "blocked sight lines" from a new base. "They stole our home and our life. They stole our memories." The area is technically a UN buffer zone under the 1974 disengagement agreement, but Netanyahu declared it "collapsed" and sent troops in from the occupied Golan. Israel claims its raids target Hezbollah; officials reject this. "These were areas of the revolution, why would we harbor Hezbollah?" said Mayor Hail Abdullah. A UN report counts at least 250 Syrians arrested since 2024, with 50 still held. "Israel is running its southern Lebanon model in Quneitra," said Nanar Hawach of the International Crisis Group, while Amnesty International found dozens of demolitions that should be investigated as war crimes. In April 2026, Israel approved 3,000 new Golan settler families by 2030. Al-Ali, whose grandparents fled the Golan in 1967, refuses to leave: "I was born here and I will die here."

إذا اعترفت بالمجرم، ووقّعت معه الاتفاقيات الإبراهيمية، وسكت عنه وهو يرتكب الجرائم ضد أهلك وأمّتك وحاولت أن تبرر جرائمه، فلا تخدع أحدا وتدّعِ أنك تسعى إلى السلام. أنت شريك في منحه الشرعية.

The world remains silent while ethnic cleansing, genocide and crimes against humanity are committed in plain sight by those evil people in Israel. Silence in the face of injustice is complicity. Shame on you.

When those who speak endlessly about human rights fall silent in the face of war crimes, ethnic cleansing, atrocities and genocide against our people, one cannot help but wonder: Is it because they support the injustice, or because they do not value our lives equally?

As injustice, war crimes and atrocities unfold and many choose silence, it is our turn to ask: why does your compassion stop when the victims are us?

Not even 24 hours since the ceasefire deal was signed. And Ben-Gvir is already demanding: 'We must continue destroying houses in southern Lebanon. Continue pushing residents away. Continue eliminating Hezbollah'

“When the moment comes to choose between comfort and conscience, choose conscience.” Pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil delivered a speech to Stanford graduates at a "People's Commencement" Sunday after their mass walkout during graduation. The graduates' walkout occurred during Google CEO Sundar Pichai's commencement speech, as a protest against the tech company's contracts with the IDF, CBP, and ICE. Khalil, who was detained last year by ICE for over three months for his role as lead negotiator at Columbia University's Gaza Solidarity Encampments, urged the students to keep building the movement for Palestine, assuring them, "History remembers those who speak up." This year marked the third People’s Commencement at Stanford, organized by students and activist groups.

Netanyahu gave a speech today trying to paint the war in Iran as a success for Israel. But even a cursory comparison between what he said now and what he said before and during the war reveals the level of deception and bullshit at hand: 1) The war's defining goal. The GPO published his Feb 28 words: Israel and the US launched an operation "to remove the existential threat." Still live on the PMO site. Tonight: "I know what I defined. The goal was to distance the danger." Remove became distance. 2) Regime change. Feb 28: strike the regime and "create conditions that will enable the Iranian people to cast off the yoke of this murderous regime." Tonight: "should they wish... there are cracks, but I can't say when it will fall." A stated aim is now an open-ended maybe. 3) The nuclear line. This one he keeps word for word. Feb 28 and tonight: "With a deal, without a deal, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. Not today and not tomorrow." It is the one claim the ceasefire hasn't contradicted, so it stays front and center. 4) Were the goals met. Late March he said over half his military aims were achieved and "Iran can no longer threaten our existence." Tonight the frame shifts from victory to rescue: "we saved Israel from nuclear annihilation," with a new caveat: "the struggle is not over." 5) Ballistic missiles. He demanded caps. In Feb he said any deal must include "restrictions on ballistic missiles." By March 19 he claimed Iran had "no ability to produce ballistic missiles." Tonight: "we destroyed missiles and most of the factories." The deal sets no limits. A demand became a damage claim. 6) Drones and proxies. During the war, ending the proxy threat was central. In the ceasefire's first hours, Hezbollah was still firing drones into northern Israel. Tonight he leans on the security zones, but the deal reportedly winds down the Lebanon front, exactly where the drones come from. 7) Money and sanctions. For a decade his signature line was that any deal hands Iran "hundreds of billions" for terror. The memorandum reportedly releases ~$12B and builds sanctions relief to "integrate Iran into the 21st century economy." Tonight he says nothing about the money. 8) The four demands. Last Thursday he set four conditions: remove enriched material, dismantle enrichment, cap missiles, end proxy support. The memorandum drops all four for reopening Hormuz. Tonight: "this deal was made by the US." He no longer names the demands it abandoned. 9) Trump. Feb 28: "Trump is Israel's greatest friend ever to sit in the White House." Tonight: "there are cases where we see eye to eye, and cases less so." The superlative is gone, replaced by daylight from the man who made the deal. The truth is that none of the Israeli goals were accomplished in this war. Instead, Iran is stronger than before, more stable and has more allies and money. Meanwhile, Israel has lost its main strategic asset, the unconditional support of the United States.

The best part of this potential peace deal is that we're cutting Israel out of it. If it was up to them, we would literally never have peace. If Israel continues to attack Lebanon, we should end all financial and military support. If they want to fight Iran, that's their problem.

🇮🇱 Israel Detained a CHILD and His Father. The Boy Came Back Dead. Ryan Bahaa Abu Al-Ajin and his father were seized in Wadi al-Salqa, east of Deir al-Balah, then dumped on Salah al-Din Road. Both were assaulted in custody, according to the family. The father survived his injuries. Ryan reached the hospital and was pronounced DEAD. A child held by the most "moral army in the world" was returned a corpse. This is yet ANOTHER example of the criminal actions this IDF does.
