Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the military to occupy 70% of Gaza, in violation of the US-brokered ceasefire deal between West Jerusalem and Hamas, which allows Israel to control no more than 53% of the enclave.

The 2025 agreement, backed by a UN Security Council resolution, envisioned a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in exchange for Hamas disarming and relinquishing control of the territory. Instead, sporadic fighting has continued, with Israeli forces steadily pushing deeper into the enclave.

Netanyahu told the Jordan Valley Conference in the occupied West Bank on Thursday:
"We now control 60% of the territory in the Strip. You know, we were at 50, we moved to 60. My directive is to move to... first of all 70%. Let's start with that."
He added that the territory would be taken step by step. He did not say whether Israel ultimately intends to occupy all of Gaza.

When "blatant falsehoods are being spread, one cannot let them stand unchallenged," says Weidel's spokesman

Alice Weidel, co-leader of the anti-migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, has successfully sued the Left Party leader and won a retraction after she spread falsehoods about Weidel on live television.

In mid-May, Ines Schwerdtner, the federal chairwoman of the Left Party, claimed during an interview on Welt TV that Wediel neither resides in Germany nor pays taxes.

"Alice Weidel doesn't even live in Germany, she doesn't pay taxes here," she told viewers. This statement is false. While Weidel spends much of her time with her family in Switzerland, she has her primary residence in Germany and pays taxes in the Federal Republic of Germany. Weidel has been very guarded about the issue over the years, as she faces a high threat level and avoids appearing in public due to the security threat she lives under.

The Collective West, U.S., EU, and NATO, has morphed into a terrorist network

The murder of 21 Russian teenage students at a teacher-training college last week was an abominable moment of truth with far-reaching, grievous implications.

A grim, consequential watershed in the West's conflict with Russia has arrived.

The victims were mainly girls aged between 14 and 18 who were killed when their university dormitory in Starobelsk, Lugansk, was attacked overnight on May 22.

What is absolutely revealing is how the Collective West has shown no remorse or restraint about the crime, going as far as denying responsibility and adding insult to the memory of the dead. The perpetrators have an obscene sense of impunity and inhumane entitlement.

The attack involved 16 drones that targeted the college in a wave of three assaults. There can be no doubt that the air strike was a deliberate act. That makes it an act of cold-blooded mass murder; an act of terrorism.

Vassily Nebenzia, Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, stated: "The blood of the children from Starobelsk is on the hands of the West whose nations are supplying the terrorist regime [in Ukraine] with money, intelligence, weapons, and ammunition for years, inspiring it to commit new crimes against the civilian population, and then covering it up by presenting the Kiev regime as a victim."

The corrupt NeoNazi regime in Kiev under Vladimir Zelensky and his cronies is only a bit player in this crime. The regime, which, by the way, gave burial honors to a World War Two Nazi collaborator this week, is merely the scum atop the Western criminal organizations behind this and other atrocities, and indeed the entire conflict with Russia.

Several respected international authorities have repeatedly pointed out that the nearly five-year war in Ukraine that erupted in February 2022 is the culmination of a long-term policy to embattle Russia with NATO aggression. Professors John Mearsheimer, Jeffrey Sachs, Alfred de Zayas, among others, have cogently explained how this conflict in Europe - the biggest since WWII - has come about.

The Kiev regime has been armed to the teeth by the United States and its Western partners, bankrolled by Washington and the European Union, and directed by NATO military intelligence. The attacks on Russian civilian centers could not happen without the direct support of the "Collective West".

Israeli claims about an Iran 'threat' were always a lie. Now we have proof

Could it be that Israel's 30-year narrative about Iran - one that persuaded US President Donald Trump to wage a criminal and disastrous war of aggression - was always a fiction, an invention cooked up in Tel Aviv?

Far from Tehran posing an existential danger to Israel, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed for decades, might Israel's real fear be that a stronger Iran would undermine its unique leverage over Washington, threatening its status as the region's sole - and unmonitored - nuclear power?

Might large parts of the globe be facing economic meltdown simply so that Israel can remain the Middle East's top dog - an unaccountable apartheid state committing genocide against the Palestinian people and ethnically cleansing southern Lebanon?

We got a definitive answer last week, care of the New York Times. It is an uncompromising yes to all of these questions.

The newspaper reported that Netanyahu not only mis-sold Trump on the idea of quick regime change in Iran following a short "shock and awe" bombing campaign. He also identified to the White House who was going to replace Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme religious leader.

Extraordinarily, according to the Times, Netanyahu named the man for the job as former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The aim at the start of the air campaign was for Israel to kill Khamenei, then liberate Ahmadinejad from house arrest by striking the guards who were confining him.

Presumably, Ahmadinejad was then supposed to storm the citadel and seize the keys to the palace. But only Khamenei's assassination went according to plan.

Ahmadinejad, who had reportedly been consulted on the scheme beforehand, is believed to have been injured in the Israeli strike near his home. He got cold feet, possibly suspecting he was being set up for assassination too, and went into hiding. His current whereabouts and medical condition are unknown.

Bessent Signals Crackdown On Dark-Money Funded NGOs In "Weeks, Months Ahead"

Last year, readers were briefed on what was then the investigative phase into dark-money-funded NGOs and alleged foreign influence operations routed through far-left activist networks. These NGOs and activist networks advance anti-capitalist agendas, mobilize protests and riots to fuel unrest under the banner of toxic social justice, and have also served as a permanent protest-industrial complex designed to delay, deny, and destroy President Trump's pro-America agenda.

Fast forward to late spring, and there now appears to be a clear transition inside parts of the Trump administration from the investigative phase to the action phase.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaled just that during a Thursday press briefing.

Flashback The NATO-Ukraine Partnership: The Secret History of the War in Ukraine

This is the untold story of America's hidden role in Ukrainian military operations against Russia's invading armies.
On a spring morning two months after Vladimir Putin's invading armies marched into Ukraine, a convoy of unmarked cars slid up to a Kyiv street corner and collected two middle-aged men in civilian clothes.

Leaving the city, the convoy — manned by British commandos, out of uniform but heavily armed — traveled 400 miles west to the Polish border. The crossing was seamless, on diplomatic passports. Farther on, they came to the Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport, where an idling C-130 cargo plane waited.

The passengers were top Ukrainian generals. Their destination was Clay Kaserne, the headquarters of U.S. Army Europe and Africa in Wiesbaden, Germany. Their mission was to help forge what would become one of the most closely guarded secrets of the war in Ukraine.

One of the men, Lt. Gen. Mykhaylo Zabrodskyi, remembers being led up a flight of stairs to a walkway overlooking the cavernous main hall of the garrison's Tony Bass Auditorium. Before the war, it had been a gym, used for all-hands meetings, Army band performances and Cub Scout pinewood derbies. Now General Zabrodskyi peered down on officers from coalition nations, in a warren of makeshift cubicles, organizing the first Western shipments to Ukraine of M777 artillery batteries and 155-millimeter shells.

Comment: This article just goes to show how it was always a US/NATO directed war against Russia with the use of Ukraine as the dispensable cannonfodder. Nothing has changed in that regard and the support is very much there, despite the US under Trump saying otherwise.

May 29th 2026: Japan announces that it has sent 4 officers to this coordinating center in Wiesbaden. According to the Japan Times:
Japan will for the first time dispatch Self-Defense Forces officers to the Germany-based NATO command for its Ukrainian mission, the Defense Ministry announced Friday, in the latest example of stepped-up ties with the military alliance.

The ministry said it will send four officers to the NATO Security Assistance and Training Organization for Ukraine (NSATU) — a command headquartered in the German town of Wiesbaden and launched in July 2024 to coordinate planning and arrange the delivery of security assistance to the war-torn country.

The officers will work with others to coordinate the provision of equipment and training for the Ukrainian military following Russia's invasion of its neighbor in February 2022, while also serving as liaisons to partner nations.
It is said in the article by Japan Times, that the center in Wiesbaden only was launched in July 2024, yet the New York Times above shows that it was operating right at the beginning of the war and likely for some time beforehand.

The former general of the Ukrainian armed forces was proud to tweet about it last year:

The text in the tweet is:
Last week, much was said about Wiesbaden — and for good reason. This headquarters has truly become our secret weapon in coordinating with partners on operational planning and identifying the necessary resources for implementation. Today, I'd like to share a few behind-the-scenes details about how it came to be.

After the onset of Russia's full-scale aggression, military assistance from our international partners grew significantly. With it came a wide range of weapons and equipment - along with new logistical challenges, particularly in terms of delivery and maintenance.

To address these, we established a coordination center for military aid to Ukraine in April 2022. It was initially based at the headquarters of the United States European Command in Stuttgart, Germany. In time, this work was transferred to Wiesbaden.

As the war progressed, we came to understand that we needed more than just a coordination center — we needed a joint operational headquarters with our partners. A hub that could assess the needs for weapons and equipment based on the real-time planning of operations. This became especially urgent in the summer of 2022, when some partners began to question the necessity of certain weapons and types of ammunition for the Ukrainian front.

That's when the idea of an operations-focused logistics hub was born — one that could evaluate planned operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and, following NATO standards, determine the precise support required. With crucial support from the United Kingdom, this concept was brought to life. Wiesbaden gained a new strategic mission.

From that point on, Wiesbaden became the nerve center where operations were planned, war games were conducted, and supply needs were identified and communicated to Washington and European capitals.

This platform has since evolved into an exceptional mechanism for collaboration with our partners — one that helps ensure alignment on future military operations and the resources needed to carry them out.

Netanyahu orders IDF to occupy 70 percent of Gaza, far beyond terms of ceasefire deal

When asked about taking 100 percent of Gaza, the Israeli prime minister said, 'First 70 percent. We'll start with that'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has given directives for the Israeli military to take control of 70 percent of the Gaza Strip, Israel's Channel 12 reported on 28 May.

"At this point, we are fully in control of 60 percent of the territory of the Gaza Strip ... and my directive is to get to ... 70 percent," Netanyahu said in Hebrew during a conference held by the Ein Prat Leadership Academy.

During the speech, one audience member shouted that Israel should take "100 percent" of Gaza. Netanyahu responded, saying that "We're going in order," suggesting this was the long-term goal of his government.

"First 70 percent," he says, "we'll start with that."

The dangerous myth that holds America hostage

The United States is caught in a trap of its own making. It wants to preserve its unique position in world politics, while at the same time freeing itself from the growing burden that this position imposes. Yet Washington hasn't found any way to do so except by insisting, ever more loudly, on its own superiority so the result is that America clings more tightly to the very role it should have consciously begun to abandon long ago.

There's an old story from Uncle Remus's Tales, the famous collection by the American writer Joel Chandler Harris, in which Br'er Fox sets a black doll made of tar and turpentine by the roadside to trap Br'er Rabbit. The rabbit greets the doll, mistakes its silence for rudeness, grows angry and strikes it. His paw sticks so he strikes again, and the other paw sticks and the more furiously he fights, the more completely he is trapped.

This is increasingly what American policy looks like in its struggle to preserve hegemony. The US has become stuck to its own global role. It wants to escape the costs of maintaining that role, but every attempt to do so only entangles it further. In trying to defend the "tar baby" of global primacy, Washington is forced into ventures that are costly militarily and for its reputation.

Best of the Web: The true bane of real US conservatives

Thomas Massie's fall shows what really destroys principled US conservatism: not the left, but obedience to the Israeli lobby

As an inveterate leftie with an irrepressible intuitive sympathy for genuine, decent conservatives - that term excludes, obviously, gutless mainstream centrists - I am always looking for exemplars of this old and venerable political species. For one thing, they are much more fun to talk to than woked-out liberals, washed-out social-democrats, or hysterical warmongers of the German variety of (camouflage) Green.

Genuine, decent conservatives tend to have much to say - about, for instance, such vital things as religion, culture, and the family - that is well worth listening to, whether you agree or not. And unlike dour, doctrinaire, and frequently neurotic centrists, genuine conservatives often have the calm self-confidence that comes from being authentic, and thus they can afford tolerance and a sense of humor, even humility.

Alas, it seems that, in the West, such decent conservatives are if not on the verge of extinction, then at least seriously endangered. And, ironically, their worst enemies are not my sort of people, the often all-too-toothless left.

The obstacles to peace in Europe are not what we think

The compromise reached between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on August 15th has still not materialized in Ukraine. The obstacles are not those the United States anticipated. Ukraine is not cooperating, while Germany and the United Kingdom want war.
President Donald Trump acknowledged to his counterpart Xi Jinping that he was his equal. Since World War II, every American president has considered himself superior to others because he was the most powerful and the wealthiest.

In contrast, from a Chinese perspective, Xi Jinping sees himself as the equal not only of Donald Trump, but of every other Chinese president. A Chinese person does not believe that having greater resources makes you superior.

This concept of a hierarchy between nations is purely Western. Therefore, the evolution of the US president should not be interpreted without considering the cultural context of the observer.
