I stumbled across something pretty bizarre today when I queried one of the AI-search engines about Russia’s capture of territory in Ukraine in 2026. Here is what the Chinese KIMI claimed:
The evidence from multiple sources — including Ukrainian official claims, Western think tanks, and Ukrainian independent trackers — suggests that Ukraine recaptured substantially more territory than Russia captured during the first half of 2026, driven by the southern counteroffensive. However, the pace of Ukrainian gains has slowed since spring, and Russia has made small net gains in recent months (June–July). The overall net for the full year so far appears to still favor Ukraine, but the margin and the exact numbers depend heavily on whose methodology you use.
There you have it… Ukraine is winning the war on the ground according to AI. Let me emphasize that you will find this same propaganda on GROK or Claude. … continue

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has suffered a major electoral defeat after Dr Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, crushing pro-Israel congresswoman Haley Stevens despite an unprecedented spending campaign on her behalf.
AIPAC’s super political action committee, the United Democracy Project, spent more than $30 million promoting Stevens and attacking El-Sayed, according to Federal Election Commission filings analysed by the New York Times. NBC News projected El-Sayed as the winner on Wednesday, dealing a major blow to the pro-Israel lobby’s efforts to determine the outcome of one of the most closely watched Democratic contests in the country.
El-Sayed campaigned against US military assistance to Israel and repeatedly highlighted AIPAC’s intervention in the race. Stevens, by contrast, received the backing of AIPAC and the Democratic Party establishment.
The result is seen as providing some of the clearest evidence yet that association with Israel and its powerful lobby groups is becoming a political liability among Democratic voters as opposition grows to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the unconditional support it receives from Washington. … continue

Abdul el-Sayed, a former public health official, has won Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, defeating AIPAC-backed Representative Haley Stevens in a close race, NBC News reported on 5 August.
Sayed won despite being heavily outfunded, with outside groups pouring close to $65 million into the race to stop him.
More than $30 million of the television advertising behind Stevens came from a group affiliated with the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC.
Taken together, Stevens and her allies outspent Sayed and the groups supporting him on advertising by a factor of nine to one, according to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact. … continue
Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive public health advocate, has won the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate, overcoming more than $60m in campaign spending, mostly from pro-Israel groups, NBC has projected.
The result on Tuesday represents an enormous blow to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which led the way in the effort to defeat El-Sayed, backing his opponent, US Congresswoman Haley Stevens, with more than $30m.
El-Sayed will face former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in November. The race is considered one of a handful of competitive Senate contests in the November midterms and could determine which party controls the chamber for the rest of President Donald Trump’s term.
If El-Sayed – who is of Egyptian descent – wins in November, he would become the first Muslim senator in US history.
Tuesday’s result in Michigan – a swing state that voted for Trump in 2024 – will have major implications for the Democrats’ policies on conflicts in the Middle East.
El-Sayed recognizes Israel’s atrocities in Gaza as a genocide and argues that money spent on conflicts that benefit ‘Israel’ should be invested in local communities in the US to address healthcare, housing and infrastructure problems.
Maya Berry, executive director of the Arab American Institute, a non-partisan advocacy group that does not endorse candidates, called El-Sayed’s victory a “big deal”.
She said voters “did not buy” the avalanche of ads that did not talk about policies and only launched negative attacks “about an Arab American Muslim man named Abdul”.

The US Supreme Court has rejected a request by the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to suspend enforcement of a $655.5 million judgment compensating American families whose relatives were victims of terrorist attacks in Israel in the 2000s.
On Monday, Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied the application filed by the Palestinian organizations without comment or referring it to the full court, Courthouse News Service reported.
In their appeal, the PA and PLO argued that the massive payout “would plunge the Palestinian economy into a deep recession, including a sudden dramatic increase in the already high unemployment rate, and failure of critical social services.” … Full article

WEST BANK – The Israeli occupation army demolished three Palestinian homes in Bethlehem on Wednesday morning, claiming they were built without permits.
According to local sources, Israeli forces with bulldozers stormed the Qarnat al‑Da‘mas area of Nahalin town, southwest of Bethlehem, and started to demolish two homes.
A week earlier, the Israeli army forced the families living in these two houses to evacuate. The demolished homes belonged to Ahmed Najajira and Mohamed Awad.
The Israeli army had already carried out demolitions in the area as part of a campaign targeting 14 homes and structures in different areas of Nahalin.
Israeli bulldozers escorted by Israeli soldiers also knocked down another Palestinian house in the village of al-Maniya, south of Bethlehem.
In a similar incident, Israeli bulldozers razed a Palestinian home after displacing its residents in the Arab town of al‑Bi’ina in 1948 occupied Palestine. The house belonged to the family of Munir Bakri.
Clashes erupted in the town as residents tried to prevent the demolition. Israeli forces reportedly assaulted and arrested several citizens during the events.

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM – A young Palestinian was shot and injured by the Israeli occupation forces in the town of al‑Ram, north of Jerusalem, on Wednesday morning.
Red Crescent teams reported treating a young man wounded by live fire in the foot near the al‑Dahiya gate in al-Ram town. He was given on-site first aid before being transferred to the hospital.
Residents of al‑Ram say the town faces near‑daily raids, where Israeli forces chase workers and young men, firing live rounds and carrying out arrests on claims of trying to reach the wall.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained Palestinian physician and director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, suffered fractures in his rib cage as a result of violent assaults by Israeli prison authorities, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Information Office reported on Wednesday.
In a statement, the office said Abu Safiya was subjected to severe abuse inside the Israeli-run Rakevet prison, causing injuries that include fractured ribs.
The office said July 27 was the most difficult day Abu Safiya had experienced since his detention, stating that he was subjected to “brutal torture” inside the notorious facility.
According to the statement, prison authorities have continued to assault Dr. Abu Safiya despite his critical health condition and injuries. … Full article

The BBC recently interviewed an Israeli settler who said that all the Palestinians in four surrounding villages should be exterminated to avenge an Israeli who was killed while terrorizing a Palestinian village last month, adding that just a single Jewish life is worth ten million Palestinian lives.
“I think now after they kill one Israeli people, we need to kill all the people in Tal and Sarra, even Jit and Farata,” lawyer Yehuda Shimon told the BBC.
“It sounds like you’re saying one Jewish life is worth hundreds or thousands of Palestinian lives,” replied the BBC’s Lucy Williamson in the interview.
“Million,” Shimon corrected her. “One Jewish life, it’s ten million, okay?”
“That just sounds racist,” Williamson responded, to which Shimon replied, “Yes, I know, I know. But this is the truth.”
The interaction has been going viral on social media as people react to the blatant display of the extremist ideology held by the settlers who are working to gradually squeeze Palestinians off their land in the West Bank. And while it is true that Shimon’s comments are extremely evil and racist, that’s not what I personally found interesting about the interview. What I found interesting was Williamson’s response.
I mean, it is a bit rich watching a BBC reporter act shocked and offended by somebody saying they think Jewish lives are worth more than Palestinian lives. After all, the premise that Jewish lives are worth more than Palestinian lives has colored every aspect of Western news media reporting on Israel and Palestine for generations. … continue

Israeli occupation forces have burned more than 120 hectares of centuries-old olive groves and fruit orchards in southern Lebanon, local officials say, as Israeli military operations continue despite ongoing US-mediated talks between Beirut and Tel Aviv.
According to the Lebanese daily L’Orient-Le Jour, Israeli troops set fire to more than 120 hectares (1,200 dunams) of olive groves and fruit orchards in the border town of Yaroun in the Bint Jbeil district, with the blaze burning for more than 36 hours.
Yaroun municipality chairman Hafez Ghacham told the newspaper that residents could do nothing but watch the fire consume generations-old olive trees as Israeli troops prevented access to the affected areas.
“My heart broke at the sight. Together with several residents, we watched the fields burn until we were in tears,” Ghacham said. “Houses can be rebuilt, but the old olive trees will take decades to return to how they were before.”
Neither residents nor firefighting teams were able to reach the affected areas due to the presence of Israeli troops, allowing the fire to spread unchecked, he added.
Ghacham described the destruction as an assault on Yaroun’s history, identity, and means of livelihood, noting that the olive groves had been cultivated by generations of local families. … Full article

There are a great deal of conspiracy theories floating around since the extraordinary events in recent days in northern Morocco, where an estimated 50,000 of its citizens attempted to place themselves in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. In a country where the press are heavily controlled and free-spirited citizen journalism is assiduously discouraged, it’s hardly surprising there is speculation – given how in the dark the government operates most of the time. Yet few, if any Moroccans, believe the government narrative that the entire thing developed an energy of its own on social media platforms and that the state itself was taken by surprise. True, a lot of how quickly the information spread was due to social media platforms, but there are too many oddities which can’t be ignored that point the finger at the government – or whoever is running Morocco – for organising the huge mobilisation. Firstly, the number of trucks full to the brim of young men who drove all the way to the border and were directed by police and gendarmerie; secondly, the more recent scenes of hundreds of these young men at bus and train stations all over the country on their way home, where clearly their transportation has been paid for by someone; and of course, lastly but not least, the fact that Moroccan police on the Moroccan side of the border made no effort at all – not even a token effort – to stop people from going around the fence or into the water. In fact, many of those who made the journey have already told media that they were actually directed and encouraged to “go to Spain” by those same police officers. … continue

Israel, and its wanted-for-genocide Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, are increasingly unpopular. Gemini estimates that about 80% of the world’s soccer fans cheered for Spain over Argentina in the World Cup, and the primary reason was that Spanish leader Pedro Sanchez is pro-Palestine while Argentina’s president Javier Milei is a rabid Zionist.
Even the United States, laboring under the weight of a pro-Israel media and political donor class, is turning against the Zionists. Recent polls show an astonishing 70-point collapse in support for Israel over the past eight years. During Trump’s first term, Israel’s net favorability hovered at over plus 50. Today it has dropped to minus 20 according to Marquette University Law School and minus 23 according to Pew Research Center.

A British appeals tribunal has upheld a landmark ruling in favor of British academic David Miller, confirming that anti-Zionist beliefs are protected under UK equality law and dismissing almost all of the University of Bristol’s appeal against findings of unlawful discrimination and unfair dismissal.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal overwhelmingly rejected the University of Bristol’s challenge to an earlier Employment Tribunal judgment that found Miller, a producer and co-host of Press TV’s weekly show ‘Palestine Declassified’, had been unlawfully discriminated against and unfairly dismissed because of his anti-Zionist philosophical beliefs.
The Tuesday ruling establishes a binding legal precedent that anti-Zionist beliefs are protected under the Equality Act 2010, making it unlawful to discriminate against individuals because they hold the belief that Zionism is inherently racist, imperialist and colonial, and ought to be opposed.
Miller, a professor of political sociology specializing in propaganda, lobbying and state power, was dismissed by the University of Bristol in October 2021 following a sustained campaign over his criticism of Zionism, Israel and pro-Israel lobbying organizations.
The appeal court upheld the tribunal’s findings that Miller’s expression of his anti-Zionist beliefs had a “material impact” on the university’s decision to dismiss him, while reaffirming that protection of free speech is particularly important in cases involving political speech. … continue

Israeli occupiers escalated attacks Tuesday on Palestinian towns and villages in the northern occupied West Bank, burning three vehicles, attacking homes and damaging a power grid, Anadolu reports.
Palestinian anti-settlement activist Bashar al-Qaryouti told Anadolu that a group of occupiers attacked citizens’ homes in the area between the villages of Jalud and Talfit, south of Nablus, and set fire to three vehicles.
The occupiers also tried to set fire to a residential building, but residents noticed the attack and confronted them, preventing the fire from spreading, Qaryouti said.
In a separate attack early Tuesday, occupiers damaged part of the electricity network in the town of Madama, south of Nablus.
Madama village council head Rami Nassar said occupiers from a newly established outpost between the towns of Beita, Tell and Madama damaged electricity poles supplying the town.

DOHA – Qatar’s foreign ministry has urged the international community to press Israel to honor its Gaza ceasefire commitments, affirming that Hamas has met all obligations under the agreed roadmap.
During a news conference held in Doha on Tuesday, spokesman for the foreign ministry Majed al‑Ansari confirmed that Hamas fulfilled its first‑phase commitments of the agreement, including the release of Israeli prisoners.
Ansari accused Israel of shirking its ceasefire obligations by maintaining strikes and restricting food, medical, and shelter aid into Gaza.
Ansari said that 2.4 million Palestinians in Gaza, among them 1.5 million displaced people, endure dire humanitarian conditions as Israel maintains tight restrictions on the entry of food, medicine, and other vital needs.
The spokesman said that Doha urges global actors to press Israel to abide by the ceasefire deal to pave the way for the launch of reconstruction efforts in the Gaza Strip.
He noted that Israel has not yet announced an official position on the roadmap for the next phase of the agreement, which includes an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the disarmament of Hamas.

The DPRK Foreign Ministry dismissed the US-led “joint warning” about an alleged North Korean cyber threat as a “stereotyped political accusation” aimed at tarnishing the country’s image, KCNA reported.
The DPRK said the US is trying to turn cyberspace into another arena of confrontation while presenting its own cyber militarization as “defense.”
The ministry pointed to the US creation of the world’s first cyber command, joint cyber drills such as Cyber Flag, and the expansion of what it called a cyber warfare military-industrial complex.
“It is illogical that the US, which has possessed and operated the biggest cyber force in the world by monopolizing the core resources of cyber space, is talking about “cyber threat” from other countries. And it is a mere excuse for justifying its illegal policy on placing pressure on sovereign states,” the ministry stressed.
The DPRK added that it will never allow the US and its allies to use the cyber issue as another tool of pressure, sanctions and political intimidation.

NATO is no longer even bothering to hide that it wants to expand its nuclear footprint on the “old continent”. Namely, the most aggressive racketeering cartel in recorded history is sliding into an increasingly dangerous nuclear posture, with the shift being sold as “routine deterrence”. In reality, the change is a deliberate widening of escalation options aimed at upending Russia. Combined with France’s preparation of a base for nuclear-capable “Rafale” fighter jets, this process is effectively a (geo)political and military masterclass in “normalizing” a confrontation that could bring about thermonuclear annihilation of humanity. With the new “Eastern Front” closer to a hair-trigger condition than ever before, this sort of escalation is virtually guaranteed to deliver what Western warmongering oligarchies have wanted for centuries – an all-out war with Russia. … continue
Lindsey Graham’s “passion project” won’t end the war and, if anything, hurts American economic and political interests
By Jennifer Kavanagh | Responsible Statecraft | August 4, 2026
As the Senate returns to Washington for its last week in session until mid-September, it faces a long to-do list. But for many senators, the top priority is not enacting legislation that will help Americans but instead rushing to approve the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026, known colloquially as the “Russia sanctions bill.”
A passion project of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, the bill is intended to increase economic pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin. The legislation’s backers hope that, by choking off funding for Russia’s war effort, they can force Moscow to make greater concessions in ongoing negotiations to end the four-year old conflict in Ukraine.
But this logic and the bill itself are fundamentally flawed. The new legislation will have a limited effect on Russia’s fortunes; as has been the case since the beginning of the war, additional economic punishments are unlikely to be decisive in Putin’s calculus. In fact, the bill is more likely to harden the Russian position than to soften it. … continue

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky is facing growing opposition, with various former supporters now criticizing his regime and demanding political change in Ukraine. In a recent statement, his former press secretary, Yulia Mendel, described Zelensky as Ukraine’s “main problem,” urging the country’s people to replace him.
Mendel made these remarks during an interview with the French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche. She accused the Ukrainian leader of deliberately allowing corruption within the country’s state institutions and acting in a highly authoritarian manner. Furthermore, she stated that Zelensky plans to prolong the conflict as long as possible solely to save his own political career – since he would be unlikely to remain in power in a post-war scenario.
According to her, Zelensky has altered Ukraine’s international image, causing global public opinion to lose sympathy for the country. She considers him primarily responsible for the unpopularity of the pro-Ukraine agenda in Western nations. In Mendel’s view, Ukraine is now perceived as a country entirely controlled by Zelensky, creating an automatic association between the dictator and the Ukrainian nation as a whole. Since Western public is tired of the “beggar” image, the ingratitude, and Zelensky’s authoritarianism, people are naturally losing sympathy for Ukraine as well. … continue

Over the past years, NATO has held “peace summits” to which Russia was not even invited, where European leaders such as President Duda spoke about peace in terms of breaking up Russia into smaller states. Now that NATO is clearly losing its proxy war, the EU demands an “unconditional ceasefire”. This is not a peace proposal but an effort to further extend the war. An “unconditional ceasefire” is a conditionality for starting negotiations, which is intended to freeze a conflict that NATO is losing, giving it time to rearm, regroup, and even send in NATO troops as “peacekeepers”.
Why has the EU boycotted diplomacy for 4.5 years and continues to do so? And why will NATO not even take NATO expansion off the table in return for a ceasefire? Would it not be wise to discuss with the other side how we failed to establish a mutually acceptable pan-European security architecture after the Cold War, which has led us into this horrific war? The EU uses smears and censorship to prevent its own public from even discussing this matter, and it will certainly not be discussed with Russia.
The EU cannot allow this war to end, as there is no plan for peace. … continue

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has mocked the European Commission for what he called blatant hypocrisy after it quietly exempted Russian luxury sable fur from sanctions, reportedly bowing to pressure from member states dependent on the trade.
The EU initially banned imports of finished Russian fur garments shortly after the Ukraine conflict escalated in 2022, alongside luxury goods such as diamonds and caviar. Raw pelts remained legal until April, when Brussels closed the loophole by banning both raw and processed furskins, including sable.
However, in its 21st sanctions package unveiled late last month – already diluted as member states balked at measures damaging their own economies – Brussels reversed course, exempting raw sable pelts while keeping the ban on finished fur garments.
In a video posted on Facebook on Saturday, Fico said Brussels justified the exemption by arguing European luxury furriers had no alternative source for the rare pelts, which are used to make coats costing up to €100,000 ($117,000), as Russia dominates the sable trade. Media reports citing EU diplomats said Italy and Greece, the EU’s largest importers of Russian sable pelts and key hubs for luxury fur production, pushed for the carve-out.
“EU hypocrisy blossoms like a cherry tree in May,” Fico said. “Goods we need for our industry or for everyday life are banned from being imported from Russia, even if they are difficult to replace and much more expensive to source elsewhere. But that won’t apply to sable fur, no. There will be as much of it as needed, as if it were an everyday commodity like coffee or sugar.” … Full article

“The more defeats they suffer at the front, the more such terrorist attacks will be attempted against civilians,” military expert Alexei Borzenko told Sputnik, commenting on the Ukrainian drone attack in the southern Russian resort town of Gelendzhik, which killed 7, including 3 children, and injured 40 others.
Beaches are places where large numbers of people gather. “They’re defenseless. They have nowhere to run. That’s why this location specifically was targeted.”
“It isn’t the first time we’ve seen Ukraine attack civilian targets – bus stops, train stations, beaches – places where people gather, where there are no military installations. These targets are chosen to try to instill fear in the population. But they’ll achieve nothing, only embittering the population against themselves.”
“Targeting civilians is the ultimate abomination. It’s the same thing as targeting hospitals and ambulances, which the Ukrainian military has been fond of doing, using small drones.”
“This is the tactic of terrorists, not an army.” Because “they can’t win at the front, and every day one or two settlements come under our control… they are trying to compensate for their failures with terror.”

For decades, the debate over national defense in Brazil has been treated as a secondary issue. In a country with no significant border disputes and far removed from the world’s principal conflict zones, the prevailing perception has been that substantial military investments are unnecessary. The result of this mindset is an increasingly evident paradox: Brazil ranks among the countries with the largest military budgets in the world in absolute terms, yet it continues to display significant limitations in operational capabilities, strategic production, and deterrence.
Recently, I had access to a study prepared by Brazilian Navy Commander Robinson Farinazzo, based on data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), which highlights a striking reality. Between 2015 and 2024, Brazil accumulated approximately US$214 billion in military expenditures, while Iran spent roughly US$134 billion during the same period. In other words, Brazil invested about 60 percent more resources in defense than Iran over the past decade.
However, a simple comparison of spending figures reveals very little about the actual military capabilities of each country. Brazil allocates the overwhelming majority of its defense budget to maintaining its existing structure. Salaries, pensions, and administrative expenses consume most of the available resources, leaving relatively little room for research and development, procurement, weapons acquisition, and technological modernization. This model preserves a large and professional military force, but significantly limits the pace at which its operational capabilities can be renewed. … continue

… The contrast with Spain is instructive. In March 2026, Spain explicitly refused to allow its bases to be used for the U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran. Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares stated that Spanish bases would not be used for operations “inconsistent with the United Nations Charter.” The Spanish government argued that using its territory for offensive operations against Iran would violate its constitutional obligations and its own foreign policy principles. Madrid made a sovereign choice to refuse Washington’s request.
Unlike Spain, Bulgaria ultimately chose to facilitate the deployment, reflecting its broader security dependence on NATO structures. It did not publicly question the legality of the operation, nor did it challenge the broader strategic rationale behind the request. The Bulgarian authorities chose to accommodate the request rather than contest it.
Several factors may explain this difference. … Read full article

As EU countries continue to fuel the never-ending proxy war in Ukraine, its leaders want to prevent citizens from even hearing the Russian perspective.
In the most recent move, the Emmanuel Macron government in France is trying to ban the Russian-French journalist Xenia Fedorova from the country, simply for giving an alternate perspective on the Ukraine war in TV interviews. … continue

British band Massive Attack said its members were detained and questioned by Singapore police following a concert in the city-state after audience members chanted pro-Palestine slogans.
In a statement posted on social media, the band said the incident occurred after its performance at the Star Theatre on July 29, describing the authorities’ response as unexpected and disappointing.
According to the band, all members were detained by police, separated for questioning, and subjected to individual interrogations.
The group said some members also had their hotel rooms searched, while others temporarily had their passports confiscated before being allowed to continue their travel. … continue

With trembling hands, faltering words, an emaciated body, and a voice barely audible from the intensity of his pain, S.Th., 38, began recounting the brutal circumstances of his arrest.
What began as an attempt to flee Israeli bombardment through what Israel had designated a “safe corridor” during its ongoing genocide in Gaza ended with months of torture in Israeli interrogation facilities and the Negev Desert Prison.
“After nights of relentless bombardment around our home in Gaza City, my mother, my wife, and I decided to leave,” S.Th. told the Palestine Chronicle. “My wife was in critical condition after miscarrying because of the overwhelming fear and terror.”
The family walked toward Kuwait Roundabout before reaching the so-called safe corridor at the Netzarim checkpoint.
“What awaited us there,” he said, “was even more horrifying than the bombardment itself.” … continue

US prosecutors are accusing a legal permanent resident of Louisiana of participating in the October 7 attacks in Israel. Yet their case relies almost entirely on intelligence from Israel which the defendant’s lawyers are unable to see, and an Israeli agent they can not identify.
That agent may be Lt. Col. Avi Kalo, who previously testified anonymously in the hyper-politicized, constitutionally questionable Holy Land Foundation trial. […]
Despite being led to Muhtadi by Israel, building a case against him based on information collected by Israel, touting Tel Aviv’s “valuable assistance” in the announcement of his arrest, and planning to deploy “Avi,” the Israeli agent, as a witness against the defendant, US prosecutors now claim they have no idea what information Israeli agencies might be able to provide to Muhtadi’s defense because “they do not work for or alongside us.”
As for information the US itself might possess, prosecutors have announced they plan to rely heavily on classified material. They also intend to invoke the Patriot Act and propose protective orders that can limit the defense’s access to information.
If Muhtadi is convicted, he could face deportation to Israel, where the country’s Knesset authorized the death penalty this April for Palestinians accused of “terrorism.” The bill’s author, Minister of Security Itamar Ben Gvir, introduced a new proposal this July to weaponize crocodiles against Palestinian prisoners. – Full article

Ramallah – The family of Palestinian Hussein al-Amleh in the town of Beit Ula, west of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank, was expelled from his land on 22 July after a settler vandalised a tent and sheep pen where al-Amleh and his son were staying. The incident took place as part of the expansion of a settlement outpost established a few metres west of the town about a year ago.
Its area of control has expanded to more than 1,300 dunams (1.3 square kilometres), designated as a “closed military zone” from which the original Palestinian landowners have been barred.
As one of the owners of the confiscated land, al-Amleh said that a settler named Eliyahu Goldstein, son of Baruch Goldstein, who carried out the 1994 Ibrahimi Mosque massacre that left 29 people dead and 125 others injured, drove them from the land after storming it.
Al-Amleh told The New Arab, “We tried to remove the settler and those with him, and demanded that they leave when they stormed the land… There were verbal confrontations between us, after which Eliyahu attacked and assaulted us. He was armed, while the Israeli occupation army stood by without moving or doing anything.”
He said he told soldiers that they were responsible for him, to which the army officer replied that al-Amleh had to listen to Eliyahu and follow his instructions. The answer prompted al-Amleh to reply, “This is our land. We were born here, and our children and grandparents were born here.” … continue
Palestinian Information Center – August 3, 2026
GAZA – A Palestinian citizen succumbed to injuries and two others sustained bullet injuries following Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Monday.
A local source said that a young man called Ahmad al‑Kafarna died of wounds sustained in the Israeli strike on al‑Thawra Street in central Gaza City.
Two citizens also sustained bullet injuries when Israeli forces opened fire towards the al-Mawasi area of Khan Yunis.
Meanwhile, widespread military activity, including demolitions, shooting incidents, artillery shelling, and airstrikes, was also reported across Gaza today.
Press TV – August 3, 2026
Israeli occupation forces have significantly intensified their military offensives across southern Lebanon over the past hours, conducting a series of aerial bombardments that struck multiple towns inhabited by civilians along the border with the occupied territories.
In the most recent escalation of hostilities, Israeli troops launched an attack against the town of Taybeh, deploying substantial firepower in the area as part of an ongoing aggression against Lebanese border communities.
The bombardment, which targeted residential neighborhoods, marks a serious escalation in the military strategies of the occupying Tel Aviv regime, and comes amid already heightened tensions throughout the region.
Additionally, Israeli warplanes executed low-altitude sorties over several regions, dropping a stun grenade in proximity to the town of Mansouri in an apparent attempt to instill fear among the civilian population and disturb their daily lives.
In yet another violation of Lebanese sovereignty, an Israeli aircraft dropped an explosive device in the Ali al-Taher area, further aggravating the tense security situation along the border.
Local media outlets also reported that Israeli forces used white phosphorus and incendiary munitions in their attacks against Krom el-Zeitoun and al-Snoubar areas in the southern Lebanese towns of Yaroun and Haroun, and Bint Jbeil district. … Full article

By Mohammad Molaei – Press TV – August 3, 2026
The two-week exchange of fire between the United States and Iran, triggered by Washington’s attempt to force open an illegal southern corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, represented the most consequential direct military confrontation between them since the 40-day war.
The Iranian response to the unprovoked and illegal American aggression was not a chaotic escalation but a methodical, layered military campaign that drew on years of doctrinal development, weapons investment, and operational planning.
The efforts of the Islamic Republic’s armed forces, spearheaded by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) aerospace and naval branches, executed a decisive and swift response.
What unfolded was a layered operation with nine distinct but interlocking lines of effort. Each line reinforced the others. Infrastructure degradation reduced American operational tempo; area denial forced repositioning that compounded the effects of that degradation; extended-range precision strikes demonstrated that repositioning offered no sanctuary; ISR attrition blinded American targeting systems; terrorist suppression closed the land flank, while strikes on utility infrastructure imposed costs on host nations and denied services to American bases.
One can employ the open-source reporting, satellite imagery, and the observable pattern of strikes to examine each dimension of Iran’s military response in detail, and construct a coherent operational picture. It is becoming exceedingly clear that the ceasefire period has very likely translated to a window for reconstitution and preparation in Iranian strategic calculus. … continue

“No date or venue” has yet been finalized for the resumption of long-stalled direct talks between the US and Iran aimed at ending their months-long war, Pakistani government sources told Anadolu on Monday.
“There is no meeting (between US and Iranian negotiators) scheduled in Islamabad, at least in the next 24 hours,” a senior Pakistani official said.
The official was responding to US President Donald Trump’s statement that new negotiations with Iran would begin Monday afternoon after he decided to hold off on striking the Islamic Republic.
Pakistani and Qatari mediators are in contact with Washington and Tehran to finalize a date and venue for the resumption of direct talks, the sources said. […]
Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi is expected to visit Tehran “in a day or two” to discuss matters related to reviving the talks, they said. … Full article
Al Mayadeen | August 3, 2026
Iran is not holding any negotiations with the United States at present, Foreign Ministry spokesperson and member of the Iranian negotiating team Esmaeil Baghaei said Monday, adding that Tehran’s ongoing discussions with Oman are focused exclusively on establishing a temporary safe shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz.
Baghaei said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s recent regional contacts are aimed at addressing regional insecurity and protecting Iran’s national interests, noting that all members of Iran’s negotiating team are currently in the country. […]
The remarks come after US President Donald Trump said late Sunday that an agreement regarding the Strait of Hormuz would be reached, adding that another agreement concerning Iran’s nuclear program was also expected. Trump also claimed that the United States was holding discussions with Iran over the format of future negotiations.
Baghaei rejected those assertions, saying Iran is not currently engaged in talks with Washington. … Full article

A leaked-document investigation by Israeli newspaper Haaretz has revealed details of extensive negotiations and proposed deals between Israeli defense companies and the United Arab Emirates involving advanced unmanned aircraft, intelligence-gathering systems, electronic warfare capabilities, and precision weapons.
The investigation is based on an analysis of leaked internal documents from Israeli defense company Elbit Systems, alongside human sources, open-source information, and previous reports. The documents shed light on the scale and nature of Abu Dhabi’s requests for advanced military capabilities, including persistent surveillance, communications interception, electronic warfare, aircraft self-protection systems, domestic production, and the integration of intelligence platforms with loitering munitions. […]
Haaretz reported that Israeli arms exports reached a record $19 billion in 2025, including approximately $3 billion in sales to countries that signed the “Abraham Accords”. Cumulative Israeli arms sales to these countries since 2021 reportedly reached around $9 billion, with the majority directed toward Morocco and the UAE. … Full article
Israel is home to droves of international criminals
By Nate Bear – ¡DoNotPanic! – July 31, 2026
Israel has become a haven for international criminals. Many are dual-nationals who have taken advantage of their ability to move seamlessly between Israel and their second country of citizenship to commit crimes and, in some cases, evade justice.
The scale of the criminality, and the volume of cases (relative to the population of Israel), is astonishing. … continue

There is a machine in the Sahara you can see from space. A conveyor belt, the longest on earth, nearly one hundred kilometers of steel from a mine called Bou Craa to the Atlantic. For half a century it has moved phosphate out of occupied Western Sahara, through wars, ceasefires, and a promised referendum that never came. The richest layer of the deposit is already gone, sold before the Sahrawis could ever vote on it. And the electricity that keeps the belt running is sold to the state by a wind farm belonging to the king. … continue

… Spanish geopolitical analyst Rubén Gisbert framed the stakes in stark terms: “WHY CEUTA and NOT MELILLA? If Spain loses Ceuta, it LOSES CONTROL of the Strait of Gibraltar. Between Gibraltar (United Kingdom) and Morocco, the Anglo-Zionist axis would have total control of the passage to the Mediterranean, sidelining Spain.”
AFD MEP Tomasz Froelich synthesized the foreign and domestic dimensions of this migrant incursion, writing, “The sudden storming of Ceuta by 50,000 people is no coincidence, but a hybrid attack serving Moroccan, American, and Israeli interests: Pedro Sánchez has sided with the Palestinians and drawn closer to Algeria. This displeases Washington, Tel Aviv, and Rabat. At the same time, Sánchez has facilitated such an attack through his disastrous migration policy. Against him, one can unhesitatingly wield the migration weapon.”
This is no spontaneous crisis, but a deliberate act of sabotage in a world shackled by Jewish influence and a Washington beholden to Tel Aviv. As the evidence mounts, the Hebraic hidden hand directing this migration wave will be unmasked, ensuring that any further Spanish resistance to the Judeo-American empire’s wars is met with even more vicious retaliation from the power brokers who demand total compliance. – Full article
