I laid out the details of the extraordinary corruption case against Benjamin Netanyahu a few months ago in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social. It seems like it’s helped him bond with Trump.

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Current and former UN rapporteurs on Thursday denounced US sanctions on Francesca Albanese as an unprecedented measure targeting a critical part of the United Nations’ human rights system. </p>
<p>“It's a dangerous precedent because it creates a chilling effect for all special rapporteurs,” said Agnes Callamard, head of human rights giant Amnesty International and a former UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. </p>
<p>“It undermines their independence and their commitment to do their job without fear or pressure of any kind,” she told Middle East Eye. </p>
<p>“There is also the risk that other governments may engage in copycat if they are unhappy or dissatisfied with a special rapporteur's report.”</p>
<p>UN special rapporteurs are independent experts appointed by the Geneva-based United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to monitor, report on and advise on specific human rights issues or country situations. </p>

New petition: Recognise Palestine as a State and seek immediate ceasefire in Gaza
We believe it is imperative the UK Government acknowledges the rights of all Palestinian people and seeks to implement an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Their suffering must end; they deserve basic human rights. Palestinians should live without fear and be allowed to make decisions about their future.

Over the last 400 years, the U.S. has repeatedly confined groups of people based on race, fear, or policy. These systems weren’t "anomalies"—they reflect patterns of dehumanization we must confront.

If you're wondering about the welfare of facts on Facebook, this screenshot from Doctor Who was posted as a purportedly genuine photograph of a supernatural event. 100s of thread repliers now seem to wholly accept the claim, even though discovering the image's true source would take a few seconds.
