Hakeem Jeffries on Mamdani: "'Globalizing the intifada' by way of example is not an acceptable phrasing. He's gonna have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward."

"Netanyahu received bribes from Qatar" was a fringe theory until last week, it's now a pretty reasonable hypothesis.
In the picture: 11 suitcases Netanyahu took in 2019 during a strange 30 hours visit to Portugal, a visit which made no diplomatic sense.

And the mid/long term plan is to expel Palestinians from Gaza, occupy it permanently and settle there. The Trump "plan" created a tangible horizon of ethnic cleansing and the Israeli right wing is moving towards that horizon, even if actual expulsion may take years.

If the executive (president or prime minister) doesn’t obey rule of law and ignores court orders, the country stops being a democracy. It’s not a difficult call. And the US is very, very quickly heading that direction, if Trump’s behavior continues unconstrained.

In case you were wondering, they are going full-out antisemitic against the Jewish judge that blocked Khalil’s deportation.
Because none of this is about countering antisemitism. It’s about weaponizing (real) antisemitism to undermine democracy and the rule of law.

One of the most horrifying stories to come out of this war of extermination. I posted the Hebrew reporting a few days ago, here it is in English.

Israeli soldiers used 80-year-old Gazan as human shield, then killed him
Soldiers put an explosive cord around the man's neck and forced him to scout buildings for eight hours. After his release, another division shot him dead.
