After decades covering wars, I thought I’d seen everything.
What Israel did to Palestinian captives defies words, torture, rape, mutilation, organ theft.
This isn’t just a war crime. It’s a warning to humanity. They weren’t “prisoners.”
Most were abducted civilians, rounded up from schools, shelters, hospitals, & vanished for months.

The freed return limping, burned, broken.
Others returned in numbered white body bags, bound, blindfolded, their organs removed, their abdomens stuffed with cotton.

These were Gaza’s hostages, only the world called & regarded them as statistics.

🚨BREAKING:🚨 Donald Trump announces that Israel & Hamas have both signed off on the first phase of his peace plan.

He says all hostages will be released “very soon” & that Israel “will withdraw their troops to an agreed-upon line.”

Trump calls it “a great day for the Arab and Muslim world, Israel, & the United States.” Once the hostages are released, Hamas will lose its last significant bargaining chip in negotiations. Meanwhile, Israel will retain complete military control over Gaza, led by a Prime Minister who has explicitly stated he has no intention of withdrawing forces from the region.
Netanyahu’s position is clear: “There will be no Hamas governance, no Palestinian Authority involvement, & Israel will remain responsible for Gaza’s security.” This stance effectively signals an indefinite occupation for the foreseeable future.

🔴IMPORTANT🔴
1/🧵 Netanyahu’s latest statements all but torpedo Trump’s Gaza peace plan.
As reported by @AmichaiStein1, Netanyahu appears to have laid out new conditions that directly contradict key provisions of the Trump-brokered proposal (Oct 5, 2025) & gut its core: ceasefire, hostage release in 72 hours, IDF withdrawal, Palestinian-led governance, multinational force for demilitarization. He’s twisting it into occupation

Below is my breakdown of where they clash & why his stance could sink the deal before it even starts. 2/ Trump’s plan: all hostages (20 alive, 28 bodies) freed in 72 hours to start withdrawals. Netanyahu: “No progress until every hostage returns.” Many are unrecoverable after two years of war. Hamas agreed to release Oct 3, but Israel’s airstrikes resumed. Stalling tactic. #HostageDeal

🚨Hamas has formally issued a written response to Trump’s ceasefire “proposal.”
It’s… surprisingly diplomatic, & dare I say, politically shrewd.
Because rather than rejecting it outright, Hamas flipped the table: they accepted the key humanitarian points: end of war, aid entry, prisoner exchange, rejection of displacement, but under conditions that expose Israel’s refusal to do the same.
Now Trump can’t claim they oppose peace, & Netanyahu looks like the obstacle.
That’s checkmate diplomacy. The document explicitly:
• Welcomes Trump’s “efforts”
• Calls for an immediate ceasefire
• Approves prisoner exchange for both “living & remains”
• Rejects the occupation & Gaza’s displacement
• Backs a technocratic administration under Palestinian consensus

In other words: it places Hamas within a diplomatic framework, not outside it.

🚨 BREAKING:🚨 According to @SkyNews, the White House plan would place Gaza under a transitional government headed by Donald Trump, with a role for Tony Blair.

Trump’s 20-point plan also calls for hostage releases, prisoner swaps, & “safe passage” for Hamas fighters who choose to leave Gaza. 2/ The plan says: if both sides agree, the war will immediately end.
Israel would freeze military operations & pull back to agreed lines to enable a staged withdrawal and hostage release.

🔴IMPORTANT🔴:
A century after Western powers carved up the Middle East with a ruler, Tony Blair now proposes to “govern” Gaza under an international authority.

The draft plan, published in full by @haaretzcom, puts foreign elites on top, Palestinians on the bottom.

Here’s what is being proposed & what it means 🧵 Tony Blair, yes, the Iraq War criminal Tony Blair, now wants to be the colonial master of Gaza. Only, his Blair Plan for a “Gaza International Transitional Authority” looks less like self-rule & more like a neocolonial protectorate.

The structure? Foreign elites at the top, Palestinians at the bottom with Gaza being run by:
•An International Board of 7–10 foreigners.
•Names floated: UN envoy Sigrid Kaag, Apollo CEO Marc Rowan, Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris, Trump ally Aryeh Lightstone.
•And of course, Blair himself as Chairman.

🚨 @washingtonpost scoop:🚨
Trump’s team is circulating a 38-page “GREAT Trust” plan for Gaza. It envisions a U.S.-run trusteeship for 10 years, turning the Strip into a “Riviera of the Middle East.” The catch? It begins with the “voluntary” relocation of 2M Palestinians. Genocide packaged as real estate.
2/ The Trump team’s “GREAT Trust” plan for Gaza envisions uprooting 2M+ Palestinians, either into sealed “secure zones” or “voluntary” relocation to Libya, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Somaliland, Indonesia & others. None of these countries have agreed, some are at war themselves. This isn’t policy, it’s a war crime dressed up as real estate.

🔴IMPORTANT🔴 Nabih Berri just dropped the hammer:
The latest US proposal to disarm Hezbollah is worse than the May 17 agreement, the same one Lebanon tore up in 1984 as a mark of national betrayal.
Hezbollah isn’t the threat. Capitulation is. 2/ Lebanon has fulfilled every part of UN Resolution 1701.
Israel has not.
Instead, it’s expanded its occupation, bombed civilians, and barred 30+ villages from returning.
But Washington wants us to disarm first?

🔴 Israel’s smear campaign against @AnasAlSharif0, before & after murdering him, is a textbook case of justifying a war crime.

Hours after Netanyahu announced the occupation of Gaza, Anas & 5 other journalists were killed.

Israel calls him a “Hamas militant.” But their own “evidence” blows that lie apart, & exposes a plan to kill journalists before the next phase of atrocities.

Let’s break it down. 🧵 1️⃣ Netanyahu announced the coming occupation of Gaza. Hours later, Anas al-Sharif & five other journalists were killed, targeted in a tent clearly known for press at Al-Shifa Hospital.
This is not coincidence. It’s part of a deliberate campaign to silence witnesses before the next phase of atrocities

Lebanon’s cabinet just signed off on Washington’s “ceasefire stabilization” plan.
Read the fine print, & you’ll see it’s not a peace plan, it’s a dismantling blueprint.
Here are the poison pills buried inside the clauses you just read 👇

https://twitter.com/halajaber/status/1953545795287883856

Clause 1
“Exclusive state control over war/peace decisions & weapons.”
Sounds normal, if the state could defend its people.
In Lebanon, this means dismantling Hezbollah while the army remains under-armed & foreign-restricted.
No clause forces Israel to stop daily violations before disarmament.

🧵The Two-State Solution is Dead. What the world is offering Palestinians isn’t a state.

The concept of a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine is often presented as a path to peace, but it has become an empty promise, a diplomatic illusion that distracts from the reality of occupation and apartheid. This thread examines why the two-state solution was & is no longer viable, analyzing its historical promises, current realities, & inherent flaws. 1- All this talk of a two-state solution is delusion at best, distraction at worst.
Israel’s leadership has made it clear: it has no intention , ZERO, of allowing a sovereign Palestinian state, EVER.
Even Netanyahu has said it: “There is no post-war scenario that would lead to a Palestinian state.”
This collides with the idea of sovereignty.
This stance reveals a fundamental contradiction: a “state” without sovereignty is not a state, it’s a rebranded occupation.
Israel’s actions, settlement expansion, annexation policies, & daily violence, genocidal rhetoric, demonstrate that the system is designed to prevent Palestinian statehood, not enable it. It’s not a bug, it’s the system.
The rhetoric of a two-state solution persists as a diplomatic distraction, masking the reality of apartheid while offering Palestinians a hollow promise.
So what are you negotiating? A mirage? A hostage with a flag isn’t a state? Stop dressing up apartheid as diplomacy.

Since Brigitte Gabriel (@ACTBrigitte) is going viral again, thanks to a conveniently cropped clip that hides her being dismantled on live TV, here’s a thread on who she really is: a paid fearmonger, a fraud, & a walking PR operation. 🧵👇 1: Brigitte Gabriel, born Hanan Qahwaji, is a self-declared “Middle East expert” with a résumé that reads like it was ghostwritten by a Pentagon intern with a God complex & a copy of Orientalism they never finished.
She doesn’t analyse… she sells outrage. Fear is her currency, Islamophobia her product, & Israeli talking points her script.

THIS IS HUGE:

🧵1/ A leaked investigation reveals the IAEA, the UN’s supposed nuclear watchdog, was infiltrated by a veteran MI6 spy tasked with orchestrating sanctions and covert operations against Iran.
The agency’s “neutrality” is a myth.👇
By @KitKlarenberg
@TheGrayzoneNews

tinyurl.com/yr9a8p54 2/ His name? Nicholas Langman, a British intelligence operative with a long record of dirty work.
He claims credit for helping engineer the West’s economic war on Iran & influencing the IAEA to justify sanctions and isolation.

🔴🧵1/
The US just approved a $510 MILLION arms deal for Israel.
The package includes 7,000+ JDAM kits; the same bomb tech that’s been linked to mass civilian deaths in Gaza.
Here’s what that means 👇
#Gaza #USComplicity #Israel 2/ JDAMs - Joint Direct Attack Munitions - are kits that turn ordinary bombs into “precision-guided” weapons.
The deal includes:
💣 3,845 JDAM kits for 2,000-pound BLU-109 “bunker buster” bombs
💣 3,280 JDAM kits for 500-pound MK 82 bombs
Principal contractor: Boeing.

NUCLEAR DEAL RECAP:
Obama brokered the Iran nuclear deal. Trump tore it up.
But in his second term, Trump reopened negotiations & Iran, despite everything, showed up.
Then came the Israeli strike, backed by Trump.
Now he’s demanding Iran return to talks?

You don’t bomb a country, kill & assassinate mid-negotiation & then expect a handshake.
#Iran #Trump #Hypocrisy At the time of the strike, Iran was still cooperating with IAEA inspectors.
There was no verified nuclear weapons program & the so-called threat was manufactured, a pretext to derail diplomacy.

This was never about peace. It was about control & when that failed, chaos followed.
#JCPOA #IranNuclearDeal

IMPORTANT: 🧵The Nuclear Hypocrisy 🧵
1/ Everyone who is anyone, knows that Israel has an undeclared nuclear arsenal.
It has never signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), nor does it allow IAEA inspections.
Yet, it holds over 80 nuclear warheads, by most expert estimates. 2/ Meanwhile, & since 1992, it has told the world that Iran is “months away” from a nuclear bomb.
Every. Single. Year.
See the record below: 30+ years of fear-mongering, false predictions, & deliberate escalation.

🎯 The Double Standard—Missiles & Civilians

1/ Israel accuses Hamas & Hezbollah of “hiding weapons among civilians.” In fact, it goes as far as calling that a war crime.
But let’s take a look at Tel Aviv tonight. 👇 2/ Israel’s Iron Dome, Arrow, & David’s Sling batteries are stationed right in the heart of cities. Oh yes, next to homes, schools & hospitals.
Why? Because it maximizes interception range. It’s tactical & it works.

BREAKING: #Israel has launched Operation “Rising Lion”, a multi-site airstrike campaign deep inside #Iran. Netanyahu calls it a “targeted operation to remove the threat.” But the only threat Israel is removing is restraint.
Let’s be clear, this isn’t defense. It’s escalation.
1/🧵 2/ In his statement Netanyahu said:

“Operation ‘Rising Lion’ will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.”
Let’s be further clear:
Iran posed no imminent threat to Israel. This wasn’t a defensive action, it was a long-planned provocation aimed at entrenching permanent conflict.

1. Gaza is the 2025 version of a concentration camp.
Tens of thousands starved for 86 days. Then came “aid…” a chaotic, humiliating spectacle wrapped in barbed wire & guarded by American mercenaries.
Even they fled when desperation breached the fence. 2. Thousands of people starving for months, crammed together & treated inhumanely.
And do watch the American mercenary, perched on high, waving like he’s at a concert.
The image truly a dystopian mix of cruelty & performance,
unbelievable, but fully intentional.

🔴 Israel named its latest Gaza assault “Gideon’s Chariots.”
In Judges, Gideon leads a divine slaughter—120,000 dead. Chariots symbolized unstoppable war.
This isn’t just biblical branding. It’s an extermination campaign draped in scripture.
And Gaza is cast as the Midianites.
#GideonsChariots #GenocideInGaza @POTUS @Keir_Starmer @vonderleyen @EmmanuelMacron @MarkJCarney
You’re funding this, backing it & praising its “restraint.”
You are financiers of a scriptural bloodbath. While you see tanks, airstrikes, & charred children, Israel sees scripture being fulfilled.
Gaza isn’t just being bombed—it’s being biblically erased & you’re still applauding the chariots.

Douglas Murray’s (@DouglasKMurray) recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast—debating Gaza & Israel with David Smith (@DSmithComedian)—was difficult to endure.
Not just for its one-sided framing, but for how it echoed official Israeli talking points, wrapped in smug certainty & theatrical performance.
What follows is a breakdown 🧵of some of the contradictions behind that debate—and why they matter. 1. I’ve Been There” — A Misleading Claim
Murray dismisses critics by saying they “haven’t been to Gaza,” as if that disqualifies them from speaking.
But millions around the world have seen Gaza—through livestreams, footage, reporting, & testimony that have filled our screens daily for months.
His own visit was a guided military tour with the IDF—not independent, not journalistic, & far from exposure to civilian life under occupation.
This is not the same as “being there.” It’s controlled access through one lens.
