Analysis: Tariffs are taxes. "Americans, not foreigners, pay them through higher prices."
Treasury Sec Scott Bessent admitted that tariff payments come from American importers, not foreign sellers, & importers often pass the costs to consumers.
Trump's so-called “deals” with trading partners are mere power play, & the tariffs are starting to hurt the economy.

Report: "Leaks reveal Netanyahu deliberately imposed starvation in Gaza to force Hamas surrender".
Netanyahu rejected ministers' calls to advance ceasefire talks, secure hostage release & then renew hostilities. Instead, he broke the ceasefire in March & barred all aid to Gaza.
"Contrary to the war cabinet’s expectations," Hamas had been complying with the talks.

Analysis: "The more depraved Israel’s actions, the more antisemitic it is to point out the truth."
The term "blood libel" refers to the accusation in medieval times that Jews killed non-Jews to use their blood in religious rituals. Hence the narrative that it is antisemitic to accuse a Jew of murdering a non-Jew.
It is the ultimate “get out of jail” card, one which has emboldened Israel to keep genociding.

Report: A year of threats: Pressure on the ICC chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, began in March 2024 over his intended arrest warrants for Netanyahu & Gallant.
Netanyahu, in concert with the UK, US, & Germany, launched a campaign to use “all means” to stop the prosecutor bringing Netanyahu to justice.
They used threats & sanctions against ICC staff, & sexual-assault allegations against Kahn.

Interview: "This [genocide] is a joint project between the US & Israel. We need the UN General Assembly to take action now."
Sanction Israel now. Kick Israel out of the UN General Assembly now.
Send peacekeeping forces now in the same way it sent peacekeeping forces in 1956 to Egypt.
