▶️ NEW: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, invited U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham to Jerusalem this weekend to deliver an unambiguous case for military escalation across Gaza, Iran, and Lebanon — pressing maximalist Israeli positions that cut directly against President Trump’s efforts to secure peace and stabilize the region. The remarks come as Trump weighs competing paths ahead of a planned December 29 meeting with Netanyahu. Turkey’s foreign minister Hakan Fidan has warned of a “huge risk” that Trump’s Gaza peace could collapse without a “substantial” intervention with Netanyahu. But, after meetings with Israel’s prime minister, foreign minister, and defense minister, as well as senior IDF and Israeli intelligence officials and U.S. military leaders, Graham told reporters the following: ⸻ 🔴 On Gaza and Hamas “disarmament” “Hamas is not disarming. They’re rearming. They’re not interested in giving up power. They’re consolidating power.” “Phase two is an aspiration that cannot be achieved, in my view.” “Ninety days after the ceasefire, Hamas is stronger, not weaker.” “You cannot have a good outcome in Gaza with Hamas still armed. I don’t believe you can develop a part of Gaza if Hamas controls the other part.” “We need a plan quickly. Put Hamas on a time clock to disarm. If they don’t disarm, I would encourage President Trump to unleash Israel to finish off Hamas.” “It would be a long, brutal war, but necessary.” “There will never be peace in this region until Hamas is finished off militarily and politically.” ⸻ 🔴 On Iran “Iran is up to no good.” “We obliterated the Iranian nuclear facilities. We did not obliterate Iran’s desire to have a nuclear weapon.” “The regime hasn’t changed at all. They still want to destroy Israel and consider America the Great Satan.” “If there’s credible evidence they’re going back into the enrichment business at other sites, or rebuilding ballistic missiles that could threaten Israel or Europe, we should hit them before they can do that.” “Appeasement does not lead to peace.” “The only language radical Islam understands is force.” Later, when asked if Israel should strike Iran again: “Hit them as hard as you can, as often as you can. Make sure they can’t develop a nuclear weapon.” “If you see an effort to regenerate the enrichment program, hit it.” “If you see an effort to build more ballistic missiles … hit it NOW.” ⸻ 🔴 On Lebanon and Hezbollah “The trend lines in Lebanon are, quite frankly, optimistic.” “The Lebanese government has decided to call for Hezbollah to disarm.” “If Hezbollah gave up their heavy weapons, that would be a godsend for Lebanon and the region.” “If Hezbollah refuses, we should engage in military operations with Israel and the United States to achieve that goal.” “Hezbollah either gives up their heavy weapons voluntarily, or we come up with a military campaign to take them out.” “Once Hamas and Hezbollah are off the table, two proxies of Iran, the likelihood of a Saudi-Israel deal goes up dramatically.” ⸻ 🔴 On Turkey and a Gaza ‘stabilizing force’ “The idea that Turkey would be part of a stabilizing force would rock Israel to its core.” “There is no political support anywhere in Israel for Turkey being involved.” “Turkey’s comments against Israel are beyond the pale.” “If anybody thinks Turkey should be involved on the ground in Gaza, you would create a massive political crisis inside Israel.” ⸻ 🔴 On Israel, international criticism, and October 7 “Israel is not the problem. Hamas is the problem. Hezbollah is the problem. Iran is the problem.” “If anybody thinks Turkey should be involved on the ground in Gaza, you would create a massive political crisis inside Israel.” ⸻ 🔴 On Israel, international criticism, and October 7 “Israel is not the problem. Hamas is the problem. Hezbollah is the problem. Iran is the problem.” “This is a war of television. You’re winning on the ground, but you’re losing in the air.” “The war aims are not genocide.” “October 7 was designed to stop normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel.” “If after October 7 Hamas is still standing, that would be the biggest mistake ever.” “You can’t rewrite history, but you can learn from it.”

In general, the following is simply fundamentally true: Europe's inability to take a stance on Israel that is 1% less complicit really discredited us, damaged our credibility (including among our own people), and spaffed away a lot of popular consent for (extremely necessary) continental rearmament.

🟢 Meshaal to Trump: “Judge based on America’s interests, not Israel’s” Senior Hamas official Khaled Meshaal said President Donald Trump should break with Israel’s agenda and pursue direct talks with Palestinian factions for regional stability, arguing that unconditional U.S. backing of Israel has damaged American interests. Meshaal said growing sentiment inside Trump’s own MAGA political base recognizes Israel as a strategic liability rather than an asset, and urged Washington to judge policy through a U.S. interest lens, not Israeli priorities. He said Palestinians are not hostile to the United States, but to occupation and those who enable it, and argued that if the U.S. compelled Israel to withdraw, Palestinians would welcome American involvement. When international powers fail to act, he said, resistance becomes unavoidable under occupation, Khaled Meshaal told Drop Site News in an in-person interview in Doha. 📸 Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill and Jawa Ahmad Interview Hamas’ Khaled Meshaal

The Venn diagram of those screaming about “unlimited guns to prevent Govt tyranny” & those screaming “THIS IS WHAT I VOTED FOR” as they watch Govt round up brown people & throw them in gulags is a perfect circle.

It was never about “opposing tyranny,” it was always about advancing white supremacy.

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants
NYT headline reads: "The Young People Fixated on Who Gets to Work in America For some Gen Z conservatives, H-1B visas are a hot new topic." Excerpt reads: "Take Mitchell Boone, a 27-year-old Trump supporter. Five years after leaving a computer science program at the University of Missouri, and what he says are over 1,000 job applications later, Mr. Boone claims he has landed just a single job interview. Today, he says he keeps three part-time jobs in Greenville, S.C., and grows his own food to cut down on expenses. Having abandoned hopes of working in tech, Mr. Boone says he is exploring alternative fields like construction or farming. Mr. Boone, who said he voted for Mr. Trump in the last two presidential elections, spoke of his post-grad years with an air of exasperation. But he’s finally settled on an explanation for his bleak economic straits: the H-1B." On his LinkedIn, it says he spent one year at University of Missouri-Columbia, studying computer science from Aug 2022 to Sept 2023. He says he dropped out to join the workforce. Skillset includes Windows and attention to detail.

Insane. Netanyahu is blaming the horrible shooting in Australia on Australia calling to recognize Palestine as a state:
Netanyahu remarks "I wrote: "Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on the antisemitic fire. It rewards Hamas terrorists. It emboldens those who menace Australian Jews and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets.""

Instead, prosecutors say he pocketed the profits for personal gain, describing his actions as a “fraud scheme and embezzlement.”

Impunity is an enabler of criminality. And again, I suggest that we spend some time reflecting on the radicalising effect it must have on British politicians to be so deeply and directly complicit in such monstrous, racist crimes. These people have crossed a threshold into a truly dark place.

They then attacked a grandma & two kids, threatening to burn them alive if they didn’t leave their land.

Put aside that it isn't actually all that horrible to say such a thing, he actually didn't say that. Why are people incapable of taking on someone's words as they actually exist?

Here's what he actually said on the right
Joel M. Petlin & @Joelmpetlin X.com Ta-Nehisi Coates wasn't just "critical of Israel." He claimed that if he lived in Gaza he would have joined the Hamas terrorists and participated in the October 7th massacre. But I guess that fact would not align with Glenn's narrative on the Joooos If I were 20 years old, born into Gaza, a giant open-air jail ... if my father is a fisherman and he goes too far out into the sea, he might get shot by somebody inside of Israeli boats ... if my mother picks the olive trees and she gets too close to the wall, she might be shot ... if my little sister has cancer and she needs treatment because there are no facilities to do that in Gaza and I don't get the right permit, she might die ... if I grow up under that oppression, and that poverty ... when the wall comes down lon October 7], am I also strong enough, or even constructed in such a way where I say: "This is too far"? I don't know that I am. I don't know that I am. I don't know that I am. I just wish we had room to work through that, you know what I mean? And to think about that and to talk about that.
