For many in Yemen, there is little reason for optimism entering what feels like the third phase of the war against their country as Israel ostensibly enters the fray.

Often a flashpoint for tensions between international rivals and a major chokepoint for much of the world’s maritime transit, the waters surrounding #Yemen have become a much-vaunted prize for regional intelligence services.

#Israel is hoping to capitalize on internal tensions in Yemen, throwing its support behind a #UAE-backed militant group with eyes on secession and control of the coveted Bab al-Mandab Strait.

🧵Tommy Robinson has been deeply linked to Israel since the very beginning of his political activity in 2009.
MintPress outlines what we know so far:
Tommy Robinson founded the English Defence League with Paul Ray in 2009. Ray previously infiltrated and spied on the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement (ISM).
Former Israeli soldier Roberta Moore registered the EDL on Companies House and later changed the name to the Jewish Defence League (JDL UK) as a branch of the Zionist terror group founded by Meir Kahane.
She officially headed the Jewish Unit of the EDL and regularly hosted rallies outside the Israeli embassy with the Zionist Federation.
🧵The BBC’s reporting on Gaza has been called out repeatedly by both the viewing public and internally from staffers, which leaked internal emails have now provided further information on. From sanitised and misleading headlines to outright double standards, the British national broadcaster has consistently presented a narrative favourable to Israel.
Leaked internal BBC emails presented “evidence of a collapse in the application of basic standards and norms of journalism that seems aligned with Israel’s propaganda strategy.”
Spreading atrocity propaganda hoaxes goes without questioning.
🧵Following the attempt on Donald Trump’s life, political leaders have joined a chorus of denunciations, all agreeing that political violence has no place in America. Yet the U.S. itself has constantly used assassinations and other forms of political violence against its enemies all over the world. This includes Donald Trump himself, who ordered the assassination of Iranian leader Qassem Soleimani.
🧵The images of a defiant Trump, surrounded by bodyguards, his arm raised in the air, have gone viral, with many supporters claiming that they represent the most iconic, powerful pictures of all time.
But this assertion was strongly challenged by many on social media, who suggested their own, more powerful political images – ones with a far more progressive, radical or revolutionary undertone to them.
For your viewing pleasure, MintPress has collated some of the best ones here.

JD Vance is backed by Peter Thiel who was on Trump’s Transition team in 2016.
