Opponents of this theory say there is no evidence for any of this and no button could possibly exist that could be pressed to do this. But what if there was?

Hilarious editorial today by Amit Segal in Israel Hayom that posits that Khamenei is about to "pull a Hitler" and fire everything the Axis of Resistance has at once, including having a million-man Houthi army invade Israel through Jordan.

A perfect and beautiful evocation of the childhood feeling of seeing your friends on the small screen suddenly make it to the big one, going on a grandiose adventure no other kind of screen could possibly hold. Run, don't walk!

Trying as hard as I can and I just cannot imagine any one of these people actually putting up a fight against ICE in any meaningful way. The country is just speeding into a wall at the moment.

Trying to find Lindsey Graham's memoir for an upcoming piece and I'm just shocked at how this thing just disappeared off the face of the Earth. No links on Amazon or eBay, no PDF on any pirate sites, not a damn person, even in passing, has thought about this book since 2015.

Acting Yemeni Prime Minister Muhammad Miftah says that Israel's assassination of PM Ahmed al-Rahawi will only make Yemen "more willing to make sacrifices", saying to "the crown of our heads in Gaza" that "we are with you...with our blood...with our lives".

Yemeni President al-Mashat on the war with Israel, following the IDF's killing of PM Ahmed al-Rahawi: "If the pure, sacred blood of Yemen is spilled, even the thrones of empires that once ruled the world can fall. So what then of a wretched, contemptible, and vanishing entity?"

Yemeni President Mahdi al-Mashat, addressing the nation, promises revenge for Israel's assassination of Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi, that Yemen will never stop supporting Gaza, and that they will "forge victory from the depths of our wounds."

Haaretz reports that renewed talk of annexing parts of Gaza to "put pressure on Hamas" is focused on its northern strip, the sites of 3 former Israeli settlements (colored blue) which were disengaged from in 2005.

Lol, this fucking loser. Your bosses told you to stop calling their reporters racist for going to a white nationalist for information about Zohran Mamdani. Allowing yourself to get reined in by them like this is embarrassing.

Got an ad for the Israeli movie that got made a couple years ago about an Iranian woman defying the patriarchy by wanting to compete against Israelis. Very timely to be releasing this now in America, for an issue we surely all care about!

I think people see Axios headlines about negotiation breakthroughs and they don't understand what exactly America is proposing. Iran is being asked to give up its uranium enrichment, even its ability to conduct nuclear research, literally for nothing. Not even sanctions relief.

Crews on KLM, the Dutch national carrier, are apparently so concerned about Yemeni missile strikes on Ben-Gurion Airport that the airline is now allowing staff to disembark in Cyprus if they don't want to head to Tel Aviv.
