Final truth about Netanyahu.
Still.
Forever.

We will not forget Rabin.

Will will not forgive Netanyahu (for his part in inciting the radicals against Rabin, who was assassinated).
No Epstein update from Musk?

A while ago he posted on X:

„Time to drop the really big bomb.

@realdonaldtrump is in the Epstein files.

That is why they have not been made public.”

Loudmouth, what now?

"Big bomb" or merely a tiny Musk fart?

What is more alarming:

That the BBC immediately caved in to Trump's intimidation, or that Boris Johnson immediately supported the attack?

Were there technical errors in the BBC report? Yes.

Did Trump incite violence on January 6? Hell, yes.

An apology would have sufficed. No need to submit.

A former aid rightfully turned away in disgust:

„Look no further than

Zohran Mamdani’s

historic win to see proof that one need not sacrifice

Palestinians

or trans people at the altar of political expediency“ (as Fetterman did).
"The Fettermans of the world have cut off their own feet, and then gleefully rolled about on the floor, wondering why on earth they cannot walk."

THE FAT KING

may give his grumbling people a few dry crumbs.

Trump mused to give every American a „tariffs bonus“ (lie: tariffs have not paid off so far!) of
2000$

2k x 250m Americans = 500bn $

Musk just received a bonus of 800bn $

MAGA, don‘t do the math - praise your king for the crumbs!
Trump weighs giving Americans $2,000 from tariff revenues in bid for support
Congressional approval would likely be required for plan to take effect, an idea Trump has floated before

Ahad Ha‘am wrote in 1903:

I told you that the political Zionism would end by estranging you from the moral ideal,
and ultimately there would be a terrible reaction.
You regarded my warnings as metaphysical abstractions.

Israel‘s ambassador in Germany:

„left-wing antisemitism is the most dangerous …the red line of the freedom of expression has long been crossed“.

Prosor want people to remain silent in the face of Israel's genocide in Gaza. The label "anti-Semitism" is well suited for this purpose.

ZIONISM, 1904

„not all the Jews can migrate to Palestine, and therefore the object of Zionism is to create for our people a national spiritual centre that will strenghten the morale and sense of unity“

But Herzl prevailed with his hard nationalist one.

Following Mamdani's victory

and the potential implications for the political landscape not only in the USA, the question arises:

What happens when geo-pol. bully No. 1 dissolves and bully No. 2 finds himself without complete protection?

In other words, how do Netanyahu & thugs do feel now?

📌Our economy is tanking, air travel is in peril, parts of our White House have been demolished, healthcare is in jeopardy, food to our children eliminated, and humans beings assaulted by masked marauders in our streets.

Obama's biggest wasted political opportunity?

He had the greatest voter momentum since Kennedy,

but withdrew into the Oval Office instead of taking the enthusiastic masses with him and getting them involved.

„the commitment of the US to Israel remains absolutely unshakeable.

The friendship between our two countries is based upon shared values:

democratic institutions,
regional stability,
economic prosperity +
the pursuit of peace.“
