🧵What happens when the head of a major pro-Palestine organization is linked to Israeli intelligence and Zionist institutions?

This new investigation by professor David Miller for MintPress News breaks down explosive revelations about Ben Soffa, the National Secretary of the UK’s Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), and why they matter for the Palestinian rights movement.

From ties to a former Israeli spy to the censorship of legends like Leila Khaled and Palestine action co-founder Huda Amouri, these facts raise urgent questions about transparency, integrity, and who controls the narrative in solidarity spaces.Image

“We firmly believe there should be swift and severe consequences for those who provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations, incite violence in support of terrorist activities, or conceal their identities in order to harass and intimidate Jewish individuals and institutions with impunity,” the ADL wrote in a statement.

“We also hope that this action serves as a deterrent to others who might consider breaking the law on college campuses or anywhere,” they added.Image

🧵A new House bill – “The Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025” authorizes the president to “enter into negotiations with the Government of Denmark to purchase or otherwise acquire Greenland,” and to rename the island “Red, White, and Blueland.”

If passed, it will add to Trump’s growing hunger to acquire more territory. Trump has previously floated the idea of invading both Panama and Gaza, while invasions of other neighbors, including Cuba and Venezuela, have been discussed in the media.

🧵There are many controversial characters inside Washington, but few have had a career quite as destructive as US government official, Victoria Nuland.

MintPress highlights some of her darkest moments.Image
