Saudi Arabia executed an Egyptian man this week because he took pictures of a missile that dropped near where he lived.
MBS is a truly atrocious human being.
I don't even think anybody disputes this.
But he doesn't have to be the leader of Saudi Arabia.
He shouldn't be.
Watch and share: Saudi Arabia's crime of executing the husband and brother of this Egyptian woman under the pretext that they filmed Yemeni missiles over Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is a terrorist state, but the world remains silent because it is a rich country with petrodollars. Unfortunately, even the Egyptian government has not issued any comment or condemnation regarding this crime.

Wow, I just found out that the Beacon Coalition, the group behind these flyers, is funded by Third Way. These are the same people who claim they want to shape the future of the Democratic Party while supporting efforts that could help elect Republicans. The irony is wild. It’s hard not to question whether their priority is actually strengthening the Democratic Party or simply advancing their Israel centered agenda, regardless of the political consequences.

Eye-popping numbers in the ABC/Ipsos poll:
1) Trump's approval hits a record low
2) Trump's "strong approval" with Republicans hits a record low
3) Democrats lead on 10 of 12 issues (+9 on trans issues). Crime is the only issue Republicans lead on outside of the margin of error

This is all true. This former GOP state legislator closely aligned with DeSantis and Randy Fine -- Mike Caruso -- was arrested in August on charges of sexually abusing multiple young kids in his family, including his grandson and a niece.
He had previously advocated the death penalty for pedophiles. This picture is when Caruso, Randy Fine and DeSantis went to Israel in 2023 to sign a "hate speech" law that restricted the free speech rights of Floridians on behalf of Israel. They signed it in Israel.
Truths:
🇾🇪 "The Houthis are here to stay. They're not going to be defeated, and they're going to remain in control of a large part of Yemen for the foreseeable future," former MI6 chief Sir John Sawers said Monday at the Global Security Forum in Doha.
Sawers, who led Britain's foreign intelligence service from 2009 to 2014, said Ansarallah has "exposed the limited options that Saudi Arabia has in terms of dealing with" the group.
"The Houthis have got their own national Yemen agenda," he said on a panel on the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, adding that Saudi efforts "to sustain an alternative government have not been successful over the last 10 years."

I have lived in China since 1995.
I saw the poverty with my own eyes. Then I watched it disappear.
This chart going viral today tells the story > China extreme poverty: 91.3% in 1984.
Zero by 2022. No colour revolution.
No IMF lectures. No NGOs.
Planning, roads, factories, schools. And the West still calls it a "failed system"….

On 10 December 1947, the Egyptian newspaper 'Akhir Sa'a reported that the Jews of Lebanon had contributed 10,000 Egyptian pounds & the Jews of Iraq had contributed 500,000 pounds for the Arab cause.
Meaning, Arab Jews in Lebanon and Iraq funded & armed the Palestinian Arab militias in Palestine against the Zionist movement.
“We have great admiration for these Iraqi and Lebanese Jews," the newspaper reported.
Is anyone familiar with any other corroborating sources on this?

🇸🇾 Jolani-era appointed Sheikh Anas al-Awad of Damascus:
I will not pray for Gaza, firstly because Assad made us pray for Gaza and its resistance.
Secondly, Palestine needs a new kind of person. New in their ideas, mind, and thinking.

The Wall Street Journal wants you to believe that rent stabilized apartments are sitting vacant because landlords can’t afford to repair apartments.
The truth is that these landlords delay repairs for years and decades, and are now trying to force New York to let them rent at market value so they can make more money.
We broke it down.

Hasan Piker discussed Tucker Carlson. He thinks that while it is a good thing that Tucker Carlson is openly critical of Israel, he believes that there is another motive behind Tucker's stance:
"I'm still very critical of Tucker Carlson because I find his worldview to be not dissimilar to the ideology that he criticizes in Israel. The Tucker Carlsons of the world, on the one hand, will criticize the actions of Israel, but then also simultaneously, want to turn America into Israel but for Christian nationalists. And that I find to be very frustrating.
"I'm an anti-Fascist; that is the reason why I oppose Israel. I don't oppose Israel because it's the 'Jewish state', or that 'the violence is being conducted against Muslims and Christians in the hands of Jews.' That's not my analysis at all. That's not even secondary in this conversation. I'm against the violence all together.
Do I believe that he legitimately has seen this bloodshed and finds it to be horrifying? When you hear him he's very convincing, so it's tough to assume that he's being insincere on that issue.
Having said that, if I were to be super cynical about his ambitions, I would assume that the reason why he's doing this is that he understands that there is a sea change happening among the American public, and even amongst the Republicans as well and he wants to get ahead of that wave shift. He wants to, at the very least, lend credibility as an isolationist, anti-war Republican and play a role in a broad coalition that will need to form in the post-Trump universe."

Israeli spyware sat inside 45 of Al Jazeera's computers. Nobody had to click. It got in through ads for phones and earbuds, in the same years Israel was killing the network's journalists in Gaza.
I worked there for a decade. I wrote about it: tiny.cc/ge4c101

“I don’t know how parents can raise such monsters,” Washington Post journalist Heidi Levine says of the Jewish settlers who attacked her in the West Bank today.
How can our governments support this monstrous Israeli state?

Maryam Ahmed Ghanem is being treated at Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital for second-degree burns to her face and body, and smoke inhalation, a year into the so-called ceasefire, after an Israeli strike murdered her 33-year old mother in the middle of the night Wednesday.
Three-year-old Maryam Ahmed Ghanem watched her mother burn to death while flames surrounded her. At around 4am on Wednesday, an Israeli occupation airstrike hit their apartment in Gaza City and set it on fire while the family slept. Journalist Ali Al-Jaafarawi heard her screaming, fought his way through the smoke on his third attempt and carried her out. Her mother, Reem, was 33 and did not survive. Maryam’s father was killed at the start of the genocide, and her grandmother is now all she has left. She is lying in Al-Shifa Hospital with second-degree burns and smoke in her lungs. This happened a year into a ceasefire. Remember her name.

I listened to Mariam speaking. She kept repeating the same heartbreaking words:
“I want my mum.”
“My body hurts.”
“There was a lot of fire.”
