Clearly the Wall Street Journal is Hamas, as is the Israeli public defender…

It’s genuinely embarrassing to watch the US attempt to rationalize a potential war with Venezuela by tying it to Iran, which is really tying it to Israel. When in doubt, they invoke Israel's enemies to justify their nonsense. Another example of the toxic special relationship.

Rather than ensure Israel’s survival, unconditional US support has enabled the worst instincts of Israeli leaders, yielding "the relentless increase in illegal Israeli settlements and settler violence in the West Bank and mass civilian casualties in Gaza." foreignaffairs.com/israel/end-isr…

Trump and Netanyahu want to kill UNRWA, but most governments see it as essential to sustain the lives of Palestinian civilians under Israeli assault. The UN General Assembly votes overwhelming to renew UNRWA's mandate for three years, by a vote of 151 to 10.

As some have noted, the Trump NSS isn’t a rejection of US primacy as such, it simply casts off primacy’s threadbare cloak of liberal values. This will be confusing to many who wrongly continue to insist on calling Trump “isolationist.” Nancy Okail and I wrote a year ago:

You didn't answer my question, Christopher. If you think EU countries buying Russian oil and gas is bad (and I agree, it is), why did you just give Hungary - the EU country that buys the most oil and gas from Russia - a year-long exemption from incoming US sanctions?

Deranged view of Europe. But the implication is that the US will forget about Nato unless the EU dissolves itself or is taken over by Victor Orban - neither of which is going to happen

.@Shearm The CIA used to try to destabilize foreign governments through clandestine means. Now the Trump Administration has all but made it an official policy, playing European politics with an existential purpose. nytimes.com/2025/12/05/wor…

A dose of realism on US:Venezuela from Imdat Oner. Spoiler: it’s not about the oil.

"Sixty years ago, the United States abolished immigration restrictions based on nationality alone. By 1965, such discrimination had become an embarrassment." Trump is now reviving it to pursue his racist, Islamophobic agenda. trib.al/WmXlEnc

Christopher Landau NATO Spoken like a true white nationalist. You’re right at home with the neo-fascist parties in Europe, as is Trump.

The Trump Administration demands that no one call it fascist as it works to deny naturalization and end birthright citizenship for minorities, while its armed goons tear families apart in roundups, assault opposition lawmakers and arrest citizens lawfully exercising their rights.

Let's all hope this account of brutal Israeli torture is incorrect. Marwan Barghouti is the single most admired Palestinian leader, according to opinion polls, and some Israeli security officials have suggested releasing him to have a pro-peace leader to negotiate with.

This is very interesting, the president replaying in public what he said in private.

President Trump's administration wants the ICC to amend its founding document to ensure it does not investigate the Republican president and his top officials, threatening new US sanctions on the court if it did not reut.rs/4pq4O16

30 Ministers and Knesset members say “Gaza is part of Israel” and that true victory is only with the seizing of territory, call on defense minister to allow for a mass event inside destroyed Gaza. The official government push for Israeli annexation of (part of) Gaza has begun.
