Waarom rechts van de anti-Israëlische kampementen houdt
The most obvious is that Israel is an issue that bitterly divides the Democratic Party while uniting the GOP. Any news coverage raising the salience of this issue detracts from coverage of issues like abortion, Donald Trump’s various crimes, health care, or other subjects that divide Republicans while uniting Democrats.
A second reason is that the campus protests, with their ragged encampments and radical chants, enhance the image of chaos that Donald Trump claims has overtaken the country.
The biggest reason is that extremists thrive on an atmosphere of crisis. The Middle East has been… Lees verder

Trump zegt dat Netanyahu kritiek verdient voor 7 oktober
Yeah. Do you think it's time for him to go?
Trump: Well, I had a bad experience with Bibi. And it had to do with Soleimani, because as you probably know by now, he dropped out just before the attack. And I said, “What's that all about?” Because that was going to be a joint and all of a sudden, we were told that Israel was not doing it. And I was not happy about that. That was something I never forgot. And it showed me something. I would say that what happened on—the October 7 should have never happened.
It happened on his watch.

Europa bouwt een "nucleaire paraplu" met 300 raketten verspreid over het continent
Europe is planning to forge a bubble of nuclear protection from Russia made up of 300 French ballistic missiles.
French president Macron has suggested the submarine-launched warheads are fanned across the continent to shore up collective defense.
His offer followed a German minister urging the UK and France to forge a "nuclear shield" to deter Russia.
Leaders in Europe are worried about the ramifications of a possible Donald Trump win in the November presidential election.
And nuclear threats are coming out of Russia thick and fast as Putin's illegal war in Ukraine drags on.

Oekraïne-Israël wetsvoorstel omvat $3,5 miljard om immigratie te stimuleren
President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief is opening new processing centers for Muslim migrants, amid pro-HAMAS riots in U.S. cities and just after Congress granted $3.5 billion more for migration within the $95 billion aid package for Ukraine and Israel.
“Not only did the ‘Foreign Aid’ package do nothing to secure our own border, it included $3.5 Billion to supercharge mass migration from the Middle East,” said a tweet from Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO).
“The Biden-Harris administration set the refugee admissions ceiling for fiscal year 2024 at 125,000 refugees."
The package does not include any funds to help rebuild Americans’ border defenses against migration. but it does include $481 million to settle migrants in U.S. cities and $3.5 billion to expand migration programs worldwide.

Israël bouwt controleposten om te voorkomen dat mannen Rafah verlaten
Israel is reportedly setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of "military age" from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel's military plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity.
The checkpoints are designed to allow some women and children to leave Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli offensive, but unarmed, civilian Palestinian men will likely be separated from their families and remain trapped in Rafah during the assault.

Israël stuurt delegatie naar Caïro voor gesprekken over staakt-het-vuren in Gaza
Israel is ready to send a delegation to Cairo in the coming days to discuss a halt in fighting in the Gaza Strip, Israeli and Egyptian officials said Tuesday, as Arab mediators push militant group Hamas to accept cease-fire terms before an impending military operation in Rafah.
Israel has said the proposal is the last chance to delay a planned offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah that its officials hope would destroy the U.S.-designated terrorist group’s remaining military units. An Israeli official said that preparations for a Rafah offensive are continuing.

Inwoners van Noord-Israël bereiden zich voor op een allesomvattende oorlog met Hezbollah
Eli Harel was an Israeli soldier in his early thirties when he was sent into Lebanon in 2006 to battle fighters from the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah in a bloody, largely inconclusive month-long war.
Now 50, Harel is ready to rejoin the army to fight the same group if shelling along Israel's northern border turns into a full-blown war with Iran's most powerful regional proxy. This time Israeli forces would face some of the most challenging fighting conditions imaginable, he said.
"There are booby traps everywhere," he told Reuters. "People are popping up from tunnels.… Lees verder
