Your regular reminder that anti-Muslim bigotry/ Islamophobia are mainstreamed. Wilders is not fringe—he led the largest party in the last Dutch governing coalition. Yet media attention is more often spent arguing the term “Islamophobia” is the problem. x.com/i/status/2065879164062…

"The evidence is meticulous. Between 2023 and 2025, UN investigators verified sexual abuse inflicted on 31 Palestinian detainees – 14 men, seven women, nine boys and one girl – held in Israeli military bases, prisons and detention centres."

Yes. In his Feb 2025 Channel 12 interview, Gallant confirmed the Hannibal Directive was issued tactically “in various places” near Gaza on Oct 7. He said it was given in some areas but not others—“and that is a problem.” He did not dispute it meant shooting to kill vehicles with Israeli hostages.

Possible Israeli spoiler action on the US-Iran negotiations; but more likely creating new 'facts on the ground' for when an MOU is signed. (Suffice it to say, this is about conquest, not peace. This is an illegal occupation)

Israel media: “This is crippling effect of the deal said to be signed w/ Iran today. Israel vowed to strike at the stronghold of Iranian proxy in Beirut in retaliation for any strike but is banned from doing so under the Trump administration, not jeopardise disgraceful deal”

But you’re a well-known, well-documented anti-Arab racist so the rest of society can safely ignore your opinions.

On June 12, 1942, Anne Frank celebrated her thirteenth birthday and received a diary as a gift. This diary would become one of the world's best-known books, published by her father, the only member of their family to survive the Holocaust. The published book is known as The Diary of a Young Girl and has since been translated into over 60 languages. Happy Birthday Anne Frank! #WeRememberThem

Netanyahu has decided to accept the Iranian deal. Security officials are despondent and see it as a disaster. Ynet brings some high level quotes from them: 1) A senior Israeli official said "Nobody is happy with this. We understand it is not good for us, and that it harms Israeli interests. What is troubling is that Israel cannot influence it. Its voice is not being heard." 2) The anger at Trump is palpable.: "Trump screwed us, we took the hit. We're no longer in the loop and can't really influence anything." 3) Israelis fear Iran will be economically revived: "They've blown money on the Iranians, who are getting everything they want. They'll build a missile corps, and we'll have to pour money into interceptors." Israel sees oil revenue flowing back into the exact capabilities the war was meant to degrade. 4) They don't believe a deal will adequately deal with the nuclear issue: "The real test of the deal is removing the uranium and destroying it. If that doesn't happen, the sense of a bad deal will turn into something more concrete." 5) They fear this will embolden Iran: "Iran has smelled that it can achieve things by force, and it will use that against its neighbors and against us." 6) The deepest worry is not military. It is perception. After months of direct fire, Iran is seen across the region as the side that took the pressure and did not fold: "the regional working assumption will be that it was signed under Iranian pressure and American capitulation, rather than the reverse." Israel is concerned that Iran will be stronger, the US will be weaker and that the future for it will be bleak in the region. This war has been a disaster for Israel.

🚨 The Israeli military is preparing to suspend its ground operations in Lebanon as part of the agreement currently being finalized between Washington and Tehran, Israeli public broadcaster KAN reports, citing security sources. The same sources say Israel does not intend to withdraw from its self-declared “security zone” in southern Lebanon under the deal, and that the issue will instead be addressed during subsequent negotiations. Separately, pro-Israel Lebanese media outlets report that Israeli forces have reached the town of Tibnin and are poised to seize control of the southern Lebanese city of Nabatieh. Israeli Army Radio also reports that Israeli troops are positioned on the Ali al-Taher hills, a strategic high ground overlooking the city.

Thousands joined anti-racism demonstrations across the UK after days of anti-immigration unrest. Large crowds gathered in Belfast and Glasgow to reject racism and far-right mobilisation following riots that targeted ethnic minorities, homes and businesses.

The @Reuters report also fails to mention that since March, the UAE itself froze Iranian assets & financial channels in Dubai & other emirates. The renewed Iran-UAE talks were most likely on ways to unfreeze the funds & revive those mutually beneficial channels.

Look what I found: After USAID's Food for Peace program was moved to the USDA last year, Food for Peace seems to have stripped food aid from all Muslim-majority countries. To this amazing chart from @CFR_org, I added a column showing the % of the population that is Muslim:

The "no exchange hands" thing is telling. It means, clearly, something has been cooked on the unfreezing of Iranian assets. A bit of creativity which won't fool many. Also, very telling that more than a decade later, Obama is still living rent-free in Trump's head.

If anyone wanted a preview of how Tel Aviv can actually as a spoiler following the signing of the MOU between the US and Iran.... Lebanon.

Trump says Iran deal to be signed tomorrow

‼️ Notable: Sharaa acknowledged that the status of Shebaa Farms remains disputed btw Lebanon & Syria . The Assad regime never clearly said that, as Hezbollah used the Farms as a justification for retaining its weapons after Israel’s withdrawal in 2000.

‼️ Syrian President Sharaa says “all rumors circulating about Syria entering Lebanon are utterly baseless”, adding at the same time that demarcation between the 2 countries isn’t a priority given what Lebanon is going through .

“[Oman] totally respects international law and would never be part of any tolling system for the strait,” Sir Alan said. "They will take it in their stride, wait for Trump’s attention to become fixed elsewhere and let the storm pass – and then, I hope, resume their genuinely enlightened diplomacy.” telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…
