"My children are dead!"

A Palestinian prisoner released today was expecting to embrace his family, only to find out they had been killed weeks ago in Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.

If you wondered why Nigel Farage turned up in US Congress in September speaking about "freedom of speech", this story has the answer

His appearance was orchestrated by a powerful American anti-abortion group that is trying to increase its influence in the UK by influencing the free speech debate

Kudos to ⁦‪@mehdirhasan‬⁩.

Not only did he invite me on his show in 2018 to talk about my investigation into Farage’s funders (no UK channel ever did).

But he also asked a former colleague of Nathan Gill’s in the EU parliament whether UKIP had ever taken Russian bribes 🔥

The Middle East is being conned just like America has been conned.

None of what Trump is saying about the Israel-Gaza war being over is true.

None of the agreements he claims have been made have been made, besides a single hostage deal.

He’s lying to the world, and much of the world believes him.

There is no case for Trump getting a peace prize—ever.

There is s staggeringly ironclad case for him to be immediately imprisoned for war crimes. And here it is.

Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene

The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.

BBC News's John Simpson hitting the nail on the head:

"What this doesn't do in any way is sort out the Palestinian question"

"What it does is stop the agony that people in Gaza have been suffering for two years"

"But it doesn't create a future path for them"

"Maybe that can come"

Epstein and Maxwell cultivated friendships with a President, and a Prince, the rich and powerful drawing them into their pedophile ring

But Andrew and Trumolp weren't involved in abusing children. If you believe that you're an idiot.

“We'll play some more soon”... it sends shivers down my spine.

It might be well-meaning, but I would not want to be saying that to a convicted pedophile.”

A newly published email from Prince Andrew to Epstein raises questions about their contact timeline.

Trump, speaking in the Israeli parliament, boasts about the weapons the U.S. has provided and says "you obviously used them very well."
An estimated 20,000 children have died in the war in Gaza.
