Italy’s new PM Meloni is threatening to sue me over my tweet re her replacement conspiracies, which are on video & widely covered by international media.
All autocrats use such threats to intimidate & silence those who call them out & expose them.
Ms. Meloni: I’m not intimidated!

Leaked Israeli documents reveal how Benjamin Netanyahu's government waged a secret campaign to stop boycotts of Israel in Britain.
That included a "sensitive" meeting with Michael Gove -- when he was justice secretary in 2015 -- about countering the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement.
Israel’s lobbying campaign was led by its justice minister Ayelet Shaked, who met Gove in London in November 2015.
Shaked, from the far-right Jewish Home party, was alarmed by a European Commission plan to label goods produced on illegally occupied Palestinian land as originating from an “Israeli settlement”.
The issue was consequently high on Shaked’s agenda, with the Israeli government fearing that the labels would help pro-Palestine boycott campaigns.
Gove “enjoyed” meeting Shaked and specifically requested “more information” from the Israeli embassy on the labelling issue, the leaked emails show.
Israel’s foreign ministry then arranged for an analysis to be prepared for Gove “as soon as possible” on the imminent EU measures.
“I am aware of the workload, but there is an unusual window of opportunity here”, noted one Israeli official, apparently referring to Gove’s openness to guidance.

I fully believe Bari Weiss when she says she doesn't care about collapsing ratings. The only reason to care about ratings is profit, and that's not why Larry Ellison, at the age of 82, suddenly went on a frantic shopping spree to purchase Hollywood's studios (Paramount and Warner Bros), news outlets (CBS, CNN), and social media (TikTok).
Ellison is the second-richest man on earth. He is not motivated by money-making in the last stage of his life. He bought all these news and entertainment outlets to turn them into Israeli State TV, to try to stem the rising disgust Americans harbor for Israel.
Ellison is one of Netanyahu's best friends. He's the single-largest donor to Friends of the IDF. His only political cause is Israel. All the key people he and his son hired as Israel loyalists. So Bari Weiss is telling the truth: her job isn't to increase ratings but to convert CBS into Zionist propaganda.
During her on-stage interview, according to the article, Bari Weiss dismissed concerns about weak ratings at 60 Minutes by saying: “I could never build anything if I were focused on the precise number of people that happen to tune in to the second feature on 60 Minutes on a given Sunday.” theinformation.com/articles/…

It’s wildly jarring to see media commentary about an election about Israel’s ‘soul’ from a locked down West Bank where Israeli army closures have sealed off towns and villages, settlers roam freely and terrorise Palestinians, schools are shut, commerce choked, and roads blocked.

⭕️ Pulitzer Prize winner Benjamin Moser:
“The more I studied Zionism, the more I spent time there, the more I realized that every inch of Israel is Palestine. It was always Palestine.
Jews were never not allowed to live there as equal citizens, as they are in Britain or any other Western country. But the establishment of this state really did mean this massive ethnic cleansing that was not just a one-off.”

. @davidahearst : "Israel is now a country where you can be beaten up and stabbed for speaking Arabic, as happened to three Druze citizens in a nightclub in Tel Aviv. If you are a doctor or health worker, you can lose your job. Being a Zionist Arab, like the Druze who serve in the military, is no protection from fascists."

Isn't it amazing that people in national media only criticize opponents of a genocide but never the people supporting a genocide? Other than being morally craven, what part of that is objective?

abdul el sayed and every muslim person around him has been called a radical islamic jihadist terrorist every single day by the entire political spectrum since he won the primary and i haven’t seen a single think piece or major media interview of an arab voter abt how this makes them feel. arab and muslim voters combined make up almost 4% of the electorate. jewish voters make up 1.4% & many of those jewish voters aren’t zionists or will let israel get in the way of preserving american democracy. so we’ve heard endlessly from a tiny group of potential spoiler voters who aren’t getting their way on a deeply unpopular issue- why?
If you're trying to understand why so many Michigan Jewish Democrats are defecting, I wrote in August about it. It's not, per se, about foreign policy. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

Pretty rich for Haley Stevens to lecture Abdul El-Sayed about “hate” over an ad his campaign has explicitly disavowed while Mike Rogers is running one of the most racist and bigoted campaigns I’ve ever seen.
The hate in this race is being directed at Abdul, not coming from him.

.@brhodes's conclusion to his book review of @AkbarSAhmed 's Crossing the Red Line is on point. Those former Biden admin officials who were complicit in Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza have no business being part of any future administration. nybooks.com/articles/2026/11…

Hard to disagree
L’opposizione israeliana ha i numeri per mandare a casa Netanyahu. Ma preferisce tenerselo, tornare alle urne e suicidarsi politicamente, piuttosto che formare un governo con l’appoggio dei partiti palestinesi. Il motivo è semplice: RAZZISMO E COLONIALISMO:
L’opposizione dovrebbe mettere fine al genocidio a Gaza, alla pulizia etnica in Cisgiordania e al terrorismo dei coloni israeliani.

Israel, the great democracy that “lets the Arabs vote”, is now investigating Arabs for voting.

With the final vote counted, 92.31% of zionist Israelis voted to the centre-right, right, far-right & ultra-right
7.59% of zionist Israelis voted for the centre-left party, the Democrats
A left wing party calling for full Jewish-Arab equality (Beyachad Natzliach) got 0.09%

Make no mistake about it, the next steps for Netanyahu and his ilk will be to move towards disenfranchising Palestinian citizens of Israel.

This Israeli journalist is a close Netanyahu ally.
The Israeli state is responding to the surge in Palestinian voting by inventing lies about foreign funding and terrorist links.
(The irony here? Segal is the son of an Israeli terrorist who bombed Palestinian mayors)

She’s obviously trying to hurt Abdul. Why else go on TV to say you’re not sure about him right before the election? This is a strategy a lot of the Democrats have been doing the last two weeks. They can’t say they want him to lose but AIPAC has ordered them to hurt his chances.
Haley Stevens on voting for Abdul El-Sayed:
"I still very much want our Democratic nominee, his name is Abdul, to win this race. There is so much on the line. But I will be honest, there are a lot of voters in Michigan, I was out knocking doors earlier today, and they are still undecided and they are hurt and they are confused..."

The Joint List supports the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel in accordance with international law, which is what Israel’s DC advocates long demanded. It’s quite telling that Satloff now calls this is “an alternative to the fundamental idea of the state.”
A little humility, please.
Choosing to govern with the support of #Israel's two #Arab parties may seem like a straightforward political calculus 6,000 miles away but let's not forget that the Joint List, by far the largest of the two, ran on a platform in which it described itself as "a genuine democratic alternative to the racist #Zionist consensus" -- meaning not just an alternative to @netanyahu but to the fundamental idea of the state.
The @gadi_eisenkot-led coalition may ultimately decide to rely on their votes to oust the current government but let's not insult people who have devoted their lives to protecting Israel to suggest this is an easy or simple decision. And if they decide against that path, they may have a very good reason.
