Meet the Think Tanks behind MAGA’s new free speech crackdown

Robert Inlakesh
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump—and many of his most prominent right-wing supporters—are directly linked to some of the most radically pro-war, pro-Israel organizations in the country. These connections form a sprawling web of lobbying groups, tech billionaires, and media figures who consistently promote Israeli interests above those of ordinary Americans.

در دفاع از رئیس جمهورمان، آقای ترامپ

ما چه ملت خوش‌شانسی هستیم که رئیس جمهور عزیزمان مجددا انتخاب شد. البته اگر آقای بایدن و خانم حریس نبودند، انتخاب ترامپ به این راحتی‌ صورت نمی‌گرفت. این کاملا واضح است که رقیب انتخاباتی او شخصی‌ بود که احتمال انتخابش بسیار کم بود. چرا که نه تنها خانم حریس رنگین پوست است، بلکه یک زن است، و کسی‌ با این مشخصات نمی‌تواند به راحتی‌ در این کشور انتخاب شود.ا

Dean Baker

Ex-Israeli Negotiator Daniel Levy: Netanyahu Wants “Permanent War” in Gaza, Not a New Ceasefire

Democracy Now
We get an update on ongoing ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel from former Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy. The latest proposal, mediated by U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, “walks back the commitment for a permanent ceasefire, Israeli withdrawal and allowing in of humanitarian aid.” It’s a bad deal for the Palestinians that will allow Israel to continue its ethnic cleansing of Gaza, says Levy. Meanwhile, families of Israeli hostages are protesting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s delays in securing a deal as he works toward “permanent war” and the eventual annexation of Gaza. “None of this would be possible if so much of the Israeli media and society was not mobilized in support of this, and none of that would be possible if Israel wasn’t treated with impunity.” Levy also responds to the latest massacre of Palestinians at an aid site operated by the U.S.-Israeli aid initiative, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
