A rare peek into US Middle East foreign policy thinking through this disconcertingly honest answer by US Special Envoy Tom Barrack

توم باراك : إمكانية ان يسلم حزب الله سلاحه هي صفر . خاصة ان اسرائيل تهاجم الجميع ، تهاجم سوريا ، تهاجم لبنان ، تهاجم تونس ، وكل ما استمر هذا تصبح حجتهم أقوى بانهم يدافعون عن اللبنانيين بوجه اسرائيل .

If you don't bomb, incinerate, and dismember oppressed women, you can't claim to be genuinely concerned about their rights.

16 Israeli female fighter pilots are striking Iran — a regime that spent decades oppressing women is now being hit by them. Call it justice at 30,000 feet.

Since January 2025, the Israeli military has been imposing a new system of spatial control on Jenin refugee camp. Our analysis of the patterns of destruction show they carve routes within the dense urban fabric for military purposes. frames.forensic-architecture.org/west-bank/spat…

An Israeli D9 operator recorded himself razing the Saint George shrine in the village of Yaroun during the invasion of southern Lebanon.
