The only other logical explanation for Trump going all in to support Putin right now (apart from the Kompromat/Krasnov theory) is that he needs Russian hacking/information warfare help in the mid terms. Which just underlies how much they helped in the past

Videos of the attack show the Israelis beating Heidi Levine with their hands and clubs and kicking her as she lay on the ground. They also reportedly stole all of her camera gear. Here’s WaPo’s comment:
“This morning, a Washington Post photographer, Heidi Levine, was attacked by Israeli settlers while reporting in the West Bank. She was wearing visible markings clearly identifying her as a journalist. While we are relieved that Heidi has received medical care and is sate, we are outraged by this unwarranted attack on a journalist doing her job and urge a thorough investigation and follow-through from authorities.”
— Matt Murray, Executive Editor of The Washington Post
