Any time the groypers, Woke Right, or isolationists ask about the benefits of the U.S.-Israel relationship — show them this infographic.
Let's zoom in 🧵
As of 2024, Israel accounted for approximately 18.4% of U.S. goods exports to the region — not 25% like it was in 2011. Still a big fat chunk of change, though.

This latest NYT drivel is making the rounds. Let’s be clear: any food or health crisis in Gaza is entirely the fault of Hamas—as others far smarter than me have pointed out.
But to make matters worse, the piece leans on Hamas-aligned “journalists” and a Jew-hating Gaza doctor🧵
Firstly, one of the co-authors of the piece — and the one reporting on the ground in Gaza — is Saher Alghorra.
As @HonestReporting previously documented, Alghorra had a "questionable" Oct. 7th post and referred to the slaughtered Bibas boys and their mother Shiri as "prisoners."
Now, onto my favorite character from the article: Dr. Ghazi al-Yazji, head of nephrology at Al-Shifa Hospital, and the only doctor cited by name in the entire piece.
Foreign Funding to American Universities: $29 Billion in Four Years!
A major new report by @ncri_io, shared exclusively with @TheFP, reveals a surge in foreign funding of U.S. universities—especially from authoritarian regimes like Qatar and China. Let's break it down 🧵
🔸️ Foreign countries such as China and Qatar have poured nearly $29 billion into American universities between 2021 and 2024 — more than double the total of the previous four years.
🔸️ This $29 billion accounts for nearly half of the $57.97 billion in foreign funding since the federal government began tracking donations in 1986.
🔸️ Qatar is the largest source of foreign donations to U.S. universities since 1986, providing a total of $6.3 billion.
Geoffrey Corn — former judge advocate general in the U.S. Army, senior adviser on the laws of war for the U.S. Army, and now a respected law professor — spoke to The New Yorker about Israel’s operations in Gaza 🧵
Drawing on his unparalleled expertise, Corn offers a clear-eyed explanation of how Israel is applying international law in one of the most complex war zones on earth.
His insights are based on first-hand findings from several trips to Gaza and Israel since October 7th.
🔸 Corn described the devastation in Rafah as looking like "Berlin after World War Two," but made clear that destruction alone does not prove illegality — outcomes must be judged by the decision-making, not by appearances.
Huge breaking: In a major reversal of the Biden admin’s position, the Trump DOJ now says @UNRWA has no immunity from U.S. lawsuits—opening the door to massive claims by Hamas victims.
The DOJ also questions whether UNRWA was legally created in the first place 🧵
In its statement, the DOJ writes that:
"It is highly doubtful that the UN Charter even authorizes the General Assembly to create a subsidiary organ such as UNRWA, because its functions are not the type of functions performed by the General Assembly."
Breaking: I've uncovered that Columbia's Mohsen Mahdawi served as the "coordinator" for Fatah’s Student Movement at Birzeit University.
The group glorifies mass murderers, urges students to become "martyrs," has members who ARE terrorists, and hosts terror parades on campus🧵
The other day, the NYT offered a glowing portrayal of Columbia University's Mohsen Mahdawi, whom they bizarrely portray as a lifelong advocate for peace.
In doing so, they unintentionally helped me find previously unreported facts that show who Mohsen really is.
But first, let's look at some other nuggets the NYT gave us:
This seems to be the first time it's been reported that Mahdawi’s best friend was killed while throwing stones at IDF soldiers.
That’s a far cry from how he told the story in past appearances, like on @60Minutes
