If this were Iran, or another "enemy" country, it would be the top story in every news outlet on the planet.

Zelensky's cancelled elections in Ukraine and banned opposition media. His strongest rivals are in jail or exile. He's worked to prevent his former spokesperson, Iulia Mendel, from speaking anywhere in the EU. And his former business partner, Timor Mindich, fled to Israel after extorting millions from a state company.
He has more in common with his fellow former TV star Trump than he thinks.
In a defiant interview with the FT, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Donald Trump had an instinctive affinity for autocrats and the super-wealthy. The Ukrainian president explained his views on the relationship between the US and Russian heads of state ft.trib.al/u7fXLMI

❗Νέο ρεπορτάζ: Υπουργοί ΝΔ και Σαμαράς σε ιδιωτική συνάντηση με το ακροδεξιό ισραηλινό λόμπι στην Αθήνα.
🔸 Στις 12.10.26 κορυφαίοι υπουργοί της #ΝΔ, ο πρώην πρωθυπουργός Αντώνης #Σαμαράς και άλλοι βουλευτές συναντήθηκαν με τους επικεφαλής της οργάνωσης #λόμπινγκ Israel Allies Foundation (@IAF_Europe) στην Αθηναϊκή Λέσχη, παρουσία της πρέσβειρας του #Ισραήλ στην Ελλάδα @Amb_PninatYanay (@IsraelinGreece).
🔸 Σκοπός της συνάντησης ήταν η δημιουργία ενός σώματος (caucus) της Israel Allies Foundation με μέλη της ελληνικής Βουλής. Με μία λεπτομέρεια: Η σύνθεση αυτών των σωμάτων είναι ως επί το πλείστον μυστική.
🔸 Όταν μάθαμε για την επικείμενη συνάντηση, αποφασίσαμε να πάμε επιτόπου για ρεπορτάζ. Μόλις έγινε αντιληπτή η παρουσία μας, ένας κύριος έκλεισε τις κουρτίνες της εισόδου για να μας περιορίσει την ορατότητα και κατέγραψε με κινητό τις κινήσεις μας, όπως δείχνουμε στο βίντεο του ρεπορτάζ μας.
🔸 Παρόλ’ αυτά εντοπίσαμε τον @AdonisGeorgiadi, τον @thanosplevris, τη @nkerameus, τον @k_karagounis, τον Σταύρο #Καλαφάτη, καθώς και τους βουλευτές @tsiaras_kostas, Ανδρέα #Νικολακόπουλο, Δημήτρη #Μαρκόπουλο και Διαμαντή #Γκολιδάκη.
🔸 Στους παρευρισκομένους ήταν κι ο δήμαρχος Βάρης - Βούλας - Βουλιαγμένης Γρηγόρης #Κωνσταντέλλος, ο βουλευτής του #ΠΑΣΟΚ Παύλος #Χρηστίδης και ο ανεξάρτητος βουλευτής Γιάννης #Κόντης, ο οποίος είχε εκλεγεί με τους #Σπαρτιάτες.
🔸 Το παρών έδωσαν επίσης o επιχειρηματίας (και μεγαλομέτοχος της ΠΑΕ #Άρης) Θεόδωρος #Καρυπίδης, ο πρώην διευθύνων σύμβουλος του Υπερταμείου και του #ΣΚΑΪ Γρηγόρης #Δημητριάδης και η ηθοποιός Μιμή #Ντενίση.
🔸 Η Israel Allies Foundation έχει στενούς δεσμούς με την ακροδεξιά στο #Ισραήλ. Ο ιδρυτής της Μπένι #Έλον είχε ταχθεί υπέρ της προσάρτησης παλαιστινιακών εδαφών και της «εθελοντικής μεταφοράς» των Παλαιστινίων έξω από την Παλαιστίνη.
🔸 Προσκεκλημένη ήταν κι η Ισραηλινή υπουργός Τεχνολογίας Γκίλα #Γκαμλιέλ. Τον Οκτώβριο του 2023, επί υπουργίας της, το ισραηλινό υπουργείο Πληροφοριών πρότεινε την εκδίωξη 2,2 εκατομμυρίων Παλαιστινίων από τη Γάζα.
🔸 Ρωτήσαμε την Israel Allies Foundation ποια είναι η σύνθεση της ομάδας βουλευτών στην ελληνική Βουλή. Δεν λάβαμε απάντηση.
🔸 Μία μέρα μετά τη συνάντηση, οι Ισραηλινοί επικεφαλής της οργάνωσης και η επιχειρηματίας Ειρήνη #Καρυπίδη συναντήθηκαν στη #Βουλή με τον κ. #Τσιάρα, επικεφαλής του «caucus».
🔸 Ισραηλινά δημοσιεύματα υποστηρίζουν ότι «η ελληνική Βουλή ίδρυσε μια ομάδα βουλευτών για το Ισραήλ». Όμως, η Βουλή δεν έχει εκδώσει δελτίο Τύπου.
✊ Το #ReportersUnited έχει δημοσιεύσει σειρά ρεπορτάζ για τη συνεργασία του ελληνικού πολιτικού συστήματος με το κράτος του Ισραήλ εν μέσω γενοκτονίας στη #Γάζα. Για να συνεχίσουμε, στήριξέ μας με μια μηνιαία συνδρομή, όσο μικρή κι αν είναι, στο reportersunited.gr και στον ακόλουθο σύνδεσμο. 👇

New poll on Ukrainian attitudes on the war finds a strong majority – 57% – support an immediate negotiated peace with Russia and territorial concessions
Only 21% support fighting until the Donbass is returned to Ukrainian control
Most overwhelmingly favor a national referendum on peace, rather than allowing the president or parliament to decide
The survey was taken by Rating Group on October 3-5
It follows a Gallup poll this June showing 66% of Ukrainians favoring an immediate negotiated cessation of hostilities

A Young Girl In Azerbaijan Is Left In Tears As She Is Kicked Out Of Her School
The pro-Israel regime in Baku has implemented a ban on the Hijab in schools, depriving girls of an education if they wear the Islamic headscarf.
Protests against the Hijab ban on the Muslim-majority nation continue.

Israel diplomats told Tel Aviv they have a problem: film of settler violence are hurting Israel’s reputation

Part of the reason some in the left want Mayor Mamdani to fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch is her family's ties to the NYPD's partnership with Israeli police.
After 9/11, the NYPD began stationing intelligence officers in cities abroad so it could get “terrorism” information directly instead of relying on federal agencies.
One of those posts, in place since 2007, is in Israel. Since 2012, the officer there, Detective Charlie Benaim, a former IDF officer, has worked out of the Israel National Police's Sharon District headquarters in Kfar Saba, north of Tel Aviv.
Mamdani has not ordered the NYPD to cut ties with Israeli police, City & State reported in August. The program is partly funded by the NYC Police Foundation, a private charity backed by wealthy donors. Tisch's uncle Andrew Tisch chairs its board, and her cousin Alexander Tisch is a trustee.
Tisch family members also donate to the foundation, according to the research and journalism outlet The Polis Project, though the amounts are not public.
🎥 The New York mayor was asked about his decision to keep the Eric Adams appointee as police commissioner:

The latest scandal in Israel is a parliament candidate who once "promoted a charity that helped Gaza children"
The candidate responded with a video saying he only did it for propaganda to whitewash Israel's image
Helping Gazan children is political suicide in Israel today!

If you want to understand Israeli Jewish society, I highly recommend watching this 4 minute clip.
The host asks representatives of major Israeli Jewish political partiies, "do you support a Palestinian State, yes or no." The responses:
#1: "hell no"
#2: "of course no"
#3: "no, definitely not”
#4: "clearly not”
#5: "this is a useless discussion”
#6: "no. we will do everything to prevent it.”
#7: "clearly no”
#8: "no government in the history of Israel has done more to avoid a Palestinian state than this government [that I am in]."
This election is a competition among Jewish Israelis over who is the biggest Nazi. Who embraces Nazism more than their opponents?
Israel is by far the most genocidal country in the world. there is no 2nd place or 3rd place. it's an entire society completely and utterly drunk on apartheid & genocide.
Israeli TV brings together a host of different candidates "from across the political spectrum" and asks them if they support the establishment of a Palestinian state.
They uniformly declare "No!"
"We'll fight it tooth and nail! … It's against God!"
By Israeli standards, Netanyahu is a moderate who is not genocidal enough.

These are the scenes soldiers in Naza describe. It doesn’t matter how many PR companies Israel hires or who buys TikTok or how many new laws they enact, to curb our right to protest & our fundamental freedoms, nothing will ever wash this egregious abhorrence away; nothing.

🪖 Το 2024, το 61% των αμυντικών δαπανών της Ελλάδας πήγε σε αμοιβές προσωπικού και μόλις το 11% σε επενδύσεις. Στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση, τα αντίστοιχα ποσοστά ήταν 39% και 22%.
Ως ποσοστό του ΑΕΠ, η Ελλάδα δαπανά για αμοιβές στρατιωτικού προσωπικού 1,4%, πάνω από το διπλάσιο του μέσου όρου της Ε.Ε. (0,6%). Για επενδύσεις, όπως εξοπλισμό, πυρομαχικά και εγκαταστάσεις, δαπανά 0,2% του ΑΕΠ, έναντι 0,3% στην Ε.Ε.

The Saudi-NATO proxy war against Yemen killed some 400,000 people, with nearly 20 million requiring humanitarian aid. The bombing campaign on its own killed around 20,000 Yemeni civilians. Children under 5 accounted for 60% of all non-combat losses.
Houthis have once again struck Riyadh’s airport, taking three innocent lives.
My thoughts are with the families of the victims.
We stand in full solidarity with the people of Saudi Arabia and all our Gulf partners.
Attacks on civilian infrastructure are unacceptable.
Iran's proxies must stop their reckless and violent acts.
