What?? Hill Top Jewish terrorists are against Zionism, the rules of the State of Israel, and are behaving like out of control militias with vast arsenals of weapons? They don't see themselves as accountable to fellow Israelis or "Infidels" as they chant? Who would have thought!

Neat! We learned today that the infant mortality rate in Gaza is the same as pre-war and that births had been sustained throughout the war, even growing over time.
Hard to square that with genocidal intent if it was present.
Cool! My article on ‘preventing births’ within the South Africa v. Israel genocide case has been included in the most recent @CIJ_ICJ Bibliography. I argue the case provides an opportunity to conceptualize gendered violence against men & boys as reproductive violence.

Stewart also refers to Israel as an “autocracy” in this clip, which is certainly weird since Israel is heading to freely contested elections in less than a week.

I took no AIPAC money when I ran for Congress. I think its approach needs to change. But singling out AIPAC while giving every other lobby a pass is hypocritical. When Jewish political participation is treated as uniquely sinister, that’s antisemitism.

AIPAC is why your fantasy football team stinks.
AIPAC is why the weather is bad.
AIPAC is why you need an app to park.
Say NO to Bernie’s obsessive scapegoating.
YES to an America that works with our ally to create U.S. jobs, keep America safe, and promote democratic values.
AIPAC is now spending as much as $9 million against Abdul El-Sayed.
AIPAC is why we’re at war in Iran.
AIPAC is why the U.S. has supported genocide in Gaza.
We must say NO to AIPAC.
YES to electing Abdul as Michigan’s next U.S. Senator.

A new Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry 2025 annual report on reproductive health states that the neonatal mortality rate (meaning deaths within the first 28 days after birth) in 2025 was 9.1/1,000 births. That appears in line with pre-war World Bank data for Gaza and the West Bank, well below the Arab world average, and slightly below the figures for nearby countries like Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt.
However, previous MOH reports place the neonatal mortality rate for Gaza in 2018-2022 at between 6-7/1,000 births. It's not clear what accounts for the discrepancy: the MOH and World bank metrics could be slightly different or the West Bank may simply exhibit higher rates of all of these negative reproductive health metrics (pulling the World Bank figure, which includes both, up). The second explanation is unlikely, however, since the West Bank outperforms Gaza on almost all metrics.
Looking at MOH data alone, there is a clear increase in neonatal mortality between 2022 and 2025. In either case, neonatal mortality remains much higher than the rate in high-income countries, however, including Western countries, the Gulf monarchies, and Israel (2-3/1,000). 🧵

Fascinating, this is a good sign that conditions were not created to prevent births. Another good sign.

Federal law prohibits politically based hiring for career staff.

Arabs from Awarta attempted to burn down the grave of Elazar Hacohen (Ahrons' son) located in their village.
Question: If they are the "real Jews", as some people online here claim, why are they burning down an ancient Jewish grave?

THE SON-IN-LAW IS NO WITKOFF!
This time, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and key adviser, was absent from the American delegation. Officially, his absence was attributed to a seasonal illness.
However, according to this account, the real reason behind the diplomatic maneuver was a September meeting at the Kremlin, where Kushner and Putin had a heated confrontation. When the Russian leader spoke about the imminent capture of Donbas, Kushner sharply objected: “With all due respect, you told us exactly the same thing a year ago. What are the chances that we will come back here in another year and you will tell us the same thing again? Maybe we shouldn't waste another year?”
Moreover, raising his voice, Kushner reportedly delivered an extremely harsh rebuke: “You are simply stalling for time and feeding us illusions while your country is slowly sinking!”
Behind Jared Kushner’s supposed “illness,” the account alleges, lies a serious split within Trump’s own team. Witkoff favors a “flexible approach” and concessions along the line of contact, while Kushner has taken a much tougher position, demanding immediate guarantees from Moscow regarding Donbas. This disagreement reportedly culminated in the September confrontation with Putin.
To avoid jeopardizing the summit and the delivery of the so-called “Norwegian package,” Trump allegedly decided to temporarily remove his son-in-law from direct contact with the Russian leader, entrusting the face-to-face diplomatic negotiations to the more accommodating Witkoff.

The U.S. State Department has ordered non-emergency government employees and their families to leave Saudi Arabia amid ongoing Houthi attacks. The order comes as the U.S. has been quietly scaling back its troop presence at bases across the Middle East in recent days.

For guys who are fixated on being on the right side of history, they sure do love being on the wrong side of the most morally clear-cut conflict since Kosovo.
Cenk: My view of the war guys is that while it made sense in the beginning to help the Ukrainians… this war is over, the Ukraine has lost, and so you can say ‘oh no, that hurts my feelings, I don’t want Ukraine to lose’—I agree, I don’t want Ukraine to lose, it drives me crazy that Russia may be able to keep some of their ill-gotten gains from their invasion. And, and so at the same time I’ve seen what happened to the Palestinians, so once you’re on the losing end of that leverage it never gets better… your situation deteriorates, and gets worse and worse and worse, you lose more and more land, more and more territory, more and more power, and then you have to make a worse deal, right? So as painful as it is, uh, you sometimes have to take the best option out of very bad options. So if I’m advising the Ukrainians, let alone American… on the issue of financing the war forever apparently, right? I would tell the Ukrainians get to the negotiating table, make as good a deal as you possibly can, and then look to rebuild your own country and eventually these borders will be meaningless at some point anyway… so… stop losing these lives, you have a country… and, and please maintain of it as much of it as you can today because the Russians have so many more people, let alone weapons, let alone resources. Ukraine’s not gonna be able to win this war no matter how much we finance it. Yes, part of the mission of the Americans was to bleed the Russians dry, but now we’re bleeding ourselves dry.
Ana: 100%.
Cenk: So let’s end the war, get the peace, and save lives on both sides.

👀
ICJ ad hoc "judge" Navi Pillay is tipping the scales on the ICJ’s current proceedings on Myanmar, intending to lower the legal threshold for proving genocide so that weakened and false standard can later be weaponized against American and allied soldiers whenever they raise a finger against terrorists that hide behind civilians. Pillay: We see your agenda and we'll be watching the ICJ’s handling of these proceedings very closely. As our actions against the ICC demonstrate, we will not allow globalist, faux-judges to weaponize the law against our troops, undermine our sovereignty, or put American lives at risk.
The Nobel Committee has disgraced itself by awarding the Peace Prize to Pillay. What a shameful choice to "honor" someone who represents an "international community" with a leftist, globalist, antisemitic agenda.
President Trump is showing a better way, by actually ENDING WARS, bringing hostages HOME, and making PEACE.
