The Biden administration is extremely concerned the Palestinian Authority could collapse if the tax revenues are not transferred soon, U.S. officials say

'The court’s reasoning is important because it might encourage other mifepristone challenges in the future.' It's vital, therefore, that the MAGA candidate not ever again be in a position to appoint any more SCOTUS judges.

The question is: What is the meaning of 'permanent' if both sides are ultimately seeking to eliminate the other. The challenge of reaching a ceasefire, I'd argue, is not the 'small print', but the fact that neither Hamas nor the Israeli RW truly seek an accommodation.

Escalation with Iran followed the targeted killing of an Iranian general. Israel had to realize that escalation would follow here, too. Did they feel the military value was worth it? Or is Netanyahu's gov't seeking to provoke an all-out war with Hezbollah? timesofisrael.com/170-rockets-fi…

'Likes on the platform will no longer cause PR crises for public figures who like sexual, hateful and other unpalatable posts in general.' Terrific. So, we'll no longer know, for instance, when a prominent Republican likes a white supremacist's tweet. engadget.com/x-is-officiall…

Let's remember: There are 7,000,000 Palestinians living on this land. They're going nowhere. There are also 7,000,000 Jews living on this land. They're going nowhere. Only a solution in which we are ALL free (with no occupation), equal, independent & SAFE will take us forward.

This should be proof that Joe Biden is not in control of the judiciary. But the cultists won't be convinced and are going to continue to claim just the opposite. politico.com/news/2024/06/1…

Flying in the face of Israel's *Together* We Will Win mantra since 10/7, and with public opinion (incl Likud voters) massively against wholesale haredi draft exemption, this seems like Netanyahu focusing on nothing more than living another day politically. timesofisrael.com/knesset-approv…

Israeli pundits say a new non-Likud RW party is certain to arise, even if its exact composition is not yet final. In polls today by both Channels 12 and 13, it 'wins' a plurality of Knesset seats (23 or 24).

Labor chair Yair Golan continues to use the term 'Judea & Samaria' to describe the WB. Historically he's not wrong. The problem is: He does so in order to avoid describing the situation there as 'occupation', and that's very wrong. I discussed this at progressiveisrael.org/when-loving-th…
