Tech giant Apple has quietly paid nearly $2 billion for a ‘pre-speech’ tech company whose employees helped Israel commit genocide in Gaza.
And Apple has paid this money, the second-biggest deal in its history, for a company that doesn’t have a product, doesn’t have any revenues and whose website is a single page containing 15 words.
The company, Q.ai, is developing sensors which map the imperceptible movements of a human face to determine the words someone is thinking before they’re spoken.
They call it silent speech.
Or pre-speech.
And it’s exactly as sinister as you think it is.
Q.ai was founded by Aviad Maizels, Avi Barliya and Yonatan Wexler, all of whom honed their skills by testing technologies of apartheid on Palestinians. Maizels is a former commander of Unit 81, the IDF division which builds Israel’s offensive cyber weapons. Barliya, according to his LinkedIn, was an intelligence officer in the Israeli air force, while Wexler is a former Unit 8200 agent. … continue

Senior Israeli officials have threatened to renew the genocide in Gaza if Hamas does not disarm within a proposed 60-day period, although the Israeli occupation continues its attacks on the Strip daily, never adhering to the ceasefire agreement.
Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said that the occupation government intends to give Hamas two months to relinquish its arms. If it does not comply, the Israeli military would “complete the mission” in Gaza, he threatened.
The warnings came against the backdrop of the US-led “Board of Peace”, under which Washington dictated the 60-day deadline.
According to Fuchs, Hamas would be required to surrender all weapons, including small arms such as AK-47 rifles. He emphasized that the Israeli regime would evaluate the outcome at the end of the period. … continue
… Charleston’s SYNAGOGUE PRESIDENTS and the majority of America’s Jewish elites were dedicated to the endless enslavement of Black people. And this behavior can be easily found in every major center of Jewish settlement—Richmond, New Orleans, Newport, Philadelphia, New York and everywhere else. No longer can it be said that Jewish slave traders were marginal members of a rejected underclass. The top leadership of Charleston’s Jewish institutions—every last one of them—owned slaves and made their livings from Black slavery. Yet, the city’s slaveholding Rabbi Gustavus Poznanski referred to it in a way that is unique in the annals of this forever wandering people: “This [Charleston] synagogue is our temple, this city our Jerusalem, this happy land our Palestine…” … Read full article

13 Palestinians were killed and several others wounded across the Gaza Strip on Monday as Israeli occupation forces launched a wave of attacks across the besieged territory, continuing to violate the ceasefire agreement on its 129th day.
At dawn, occupation forces opened heavy fire on Jabalia camp in northern Gaza. Also in the north, and along the so-called “Yellow Line” in Beit Lahia, Israeli forces carried out artillery shelling, gunfire, and aerial bombardment. The night before, Israeli forces had killed two Palestinians near the line, alleging that they had crossed it.
In Gaza City, occupation warships opened machine gun fire toward the sea, while aircraft targeted Sami al-Dahdouh, a leader of the Al-Quds Brigades, near his home in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood.
Further south, occupation forces opened fire alongside artillery shelling east of al-Bureij camp and east of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, where 64-year-old Khadr Youssef Fayyad from Beit Hanoun was killed by injuries sustained in the bombardment.
The Israeli occupation also carried out intermittent artillery bombardment on the north of Rafah and southeast of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. … Full article

The Israeli government has approved a land registration process, which will allow Israel to claim territory in the occupied West Bank as “state property” if Palestinians cannot prove ownership, a move that has been described as “de facto annexation.”
Israel’s Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) reported that the proposal was submitted by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Justice Minister Yariv Levin, and Defense Minister Israel Katz.
“We are continuing the revolution of settlement and strengthening our hold across all parts of our land,” Smotrich said.
Katz called the move a vital security measure and an “appropriate response to illegal land registration processes promoted by the Palestinian Authority.”
Israel’s Foreign Ministry said the registration process will allow for “transparency” and will help resolve land disputes.
The bar for proving Palestinian land ownership is extremely high due to Israel’s restrictive legal system. … continue

Two children have been killed after Palestinian Authority (PA) forces opened fire on a vehicle carrying their father, a resistance fighter, in the town of Tamoun in the northeastern part of the occupied West Bank.
The three-year-old daughter of Samer Samara succumbed to her wounds on Sunday after being shot by the forces, Palestinian media outlets reported.
Her 16-year-old brother, Ali, was killed after being shot in the head. Their father was wounded and later abducted by PA forces.
According to the reports, the forces shot Samara in the legs before abducting him.
Local reports said units from the PA’s so-called Preventive Security Service and a special unit set up the ambush and fired heavy gunfire at the car during an operation to abduct Samara, who is wanted by Israeli occupation forces. … continue

BEIRUT – A young man was killed on Monday morning in an airstrike carried out by an Israeli drone in the Bint Jbeil district of Nabatieh Governorate in southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported that Mohamed Qashaqish was martyred when an Israeli drone targeted him as he was in front of his home in the border town of Hanin, in the Bint Jbeil district.”
NNA explained that Qashqash was about to start one of his cars in order to transport students to their schools when the strike occurred.
NNA added that a drone fired several missiles at him, leading to his death and the burning of his vehicles.
It noted that civil defense teams extinguished the flames and transferred the body to the hospital in Bint Jbeil.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces advanced at dawn into the outskirts of the towns of Aita ash-Shaab and Ramiyah in the Bint Jbeil district, where they rigged a house with explosives and detonated it, according to NNA.

An Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle near the Lebanon-Syria border between the Masnaa crossing and Jdeidet Yabous on Sunday, leaving casualties, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency correspondent in Zahle.
Four powerful explosions were heard in nearby villages following the attack, with echoes of the blasts reported across the surrounding area.
Lebanese Civil Defense teams managed to extinguish the fire inside the targeted vehicle located between the Syrian and Lebanese borders. Rescue crews later recovered the bodies of four people from inside the car.
The incident marks a new escalation along the Lebanon-Syria border area, amid ongoing Israeli strikes targeting positions and vehicles in frontier regions. … Full article

On February 11, 2026, the Jewish People Policy Institute released polling data that stunned political observers. According to the JPPI Israeli Society Index, 73% of Israelis rate Donald Trump as a “better than average” U.S. president for Israel’s interests. The breakdown was even more striking. Nearly half of all Israelis, 49%, called Trump “one of the best” U.S. presidents ever for Israel, with an additional 24% rating him “above average.”
Among Jewish Israelis specifically, the numbers climbed higher still. 54% percent described Trump as one of the best presidents for Israel, with an additional 25% saying above average, totaling 79% favorable.
Israeli journalist Barak Ravid amplified the findings on social media, highlighting the extraordinary contrast with Trump’s domestic standing. While nearly three quarters of Israelis celebrated Trump’s presidency, American voters remained deeply divided. Multiple U.S. polls conducted at virtually the same time showed Trump with approval ratings hovering between 37% and 44%, with majorities disapproving. Pew Research recorded 37%. Marist PBS found 39%. Morning Consult showed 44%.
The Libertarian Institute explicitly noted that “Trump’s approval rating is higher in Israel than in the US,” capturing a fundamental dynamic in U.S.-Israel relations. Trump’s most politically consequential foreign policy actions are popular in Israel but divisive or unpopular at home. The roughly 30-point gap between Israeli and American assessments reflects the fact that Trump has taken positions that directly serve Israeli security priorities while facing domestic backlash over economic concerns and broader issues of governance. … Full article

The United States finds itself in an unfamiliar position. After spending approximately one hundred and fifty THAAD interceptors and eighty SM-3 missiles to help defend Israel during the Twelve-Day War in June 2025, the Pentagon faces a stark reality. Its stockpiles are depleted, its production lines cannot keep pace, and another major conflict with Iran would require an air defense umbrella America can no longer fully provide.
The question is not whether the United States wants to strike Iran again. The question is whether it can afford to.
For now, the answer appears to be no. But history suggests this pause may be temporary, with negotiations serving not as a genuine path to peace but as a strategic timeout while Israel restocks its depleted munitions and air defenses. After all, the Twelve-Day War itself kicked off in the middle of active negotiations that critics across the political spectrum described as either a deliberate ruse or a diplomatic process Israel cynically sabotaged.
Throughout the clash with Israel, the Israeli government worked hard to control the narrative about what Iran’s missiles actually hit. Military censorship laws prevented journalists from reporting strike locations near sensitive facilities. But satellite data told a different story. … continue

In 1870, circumcision cured paralysis. By 1900, it prevented syphilis. By 1932, it prevented cancer. By 1985, it prevented urinary tract infections. By 2005, it prevented HIV.
The foreskin didn’t change. The operation didn’t change. Only the reason changed.
No other surgery in the history of medicine has survived the serial demolition of every rationale offered for its existence. Tonsillectomy thrived for decades on weak evidence, but when the evidence collapsed, the surgery declined. Routine episiotomy was once standard obstetric care; when studies showed it caused more harm than it prevented, rates dropped. The self-correcting mechanisms of medicine, imperfect as they are, eventually retire procedures that cannot justify themselves.
Circumcision is the exception. Each time the reigning justification has been dismantled—by new science, by changing disease paradigms, by the simple passage of time—the medical establishment has not abandoned the procedure. It has found a new disease. The operation is the constant. The diseases orbit around it.
That pattern, exposed in full, tells us something the medical literature never will: the purpose of the research was never to evaluate the surgery. It was to protect it. … continue

In January 2023, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued new clinical guidelines for treating childhood obesity. The guidelines, still in effect, recommend physicians offer GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and bariatric surgery to obese children.
Under the new guidelines, the AAP said pediatricians “should” offer the weight-loss drugs to obese adolescents ages 12 and older and that they “may” offer the drugs to children ages 8-11.
It didn’t take long for prescriptions for GLP-1 drugs for those age groups to skyrocket — they jumped 38% in the first year following the change. MedPage reported that prescriptions for two of the drugs jumped 700%.
Two-and-a-half years later, a BMJ investigation uncovered undisclosed financial ties between the AAP and major drug companies behind blockbuster weight-loss medications.
The BMJ analysis found financial ties to industry among AAP members — including those who wrote the guidelines, those who reviewed them and the organization overall.
The researchers also identified serious irregularities in the process of making the guidelines. They concluded that the AAP based the guidelines on weak or nonexistent evidence.
Their results “suggest the AAP’s childhood obesity guidelines should be interpreted with caution,” researchers said. … continue
Senator Rand Paul has introduced S.3853, a federal bill that would amend the Public Health Service Act to end the long-standing liability protections for vaccine makers.
The bill was introduced on February 11, 2026, and referred to the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee.
At the time of writing, no bill text has yet been released, so the precise statutory changes remain unknown.
However, based on the title and summary, the legislation appears aimed at dismantling the liability framework established under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which shields manufacturers from civil lawsuits and routes injury claims through the failed Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
Current evidence indicates that the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 likely sparked the autism epidemic.
By granting legal immunity to vaccine makers, 3.2% of American children now have autism.
Bill S.3853 would collapse the vaccine cartel’s 40-year reign of penalty-free mass harm. If passed, this legislation would truly Make America Healthy Again.

In a massive win for health freedom and holding the medical establishment accountable, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has formally taken Dr. Mary Talley Bowden’s side against the Texas Medical Board, intervening in court on behalf of the State of Texas and refusing to defend the state’s medical regulator.
“Thank you @KenPaxtonTX for your support,” Dr. Bowden wrote in an X post. “This is a win for me, but more important, a win for patients. No one should have to sue to get a second opinion, hospitals should not have the power to defy court orders, and doctors should not be targeted for trying to help their patients. Texas has been captured by the medical mafia, but this is a step in the right direction.”
On February 12, the State of Texas, through AG Ken Paxton, filed an “Original Petition in Intervention” in Travis County district court, aligning the full weight of the Attorney General’s Office with Bowden and asking the court to declare the Board’s public reprimand against her “void as a matter of law.”
Rather than representing the Texas Medical Board—the customary role of the Attorney General—Paxton’s office entered the case as Intervenor-Plaintiff, directly opposing the Board. … continue

Oklahoma lawmakers have introduced legislation that would prohibit businesses, schools, ticket issuers, and state or local governments from requiring any medical intervention as a condition of employment, access, compensation, public services, or entry into public spaces.
The bill, Senate Bill 1560, titled the Oklahoma Medical Freedom Act, was introduced in the Second Session of the 60th Legislature by Senator Randy Grellner (R-District 21).
If enacted, SB 1560 would create one of the broadest medical autonomy statutes in the country.
The new measure is being introduced as President Donald Trump signed H.R. 7148 into law, allocating at least $5.5 billion in taxpayer funding for pandemic preparedness and influenza countermeasures—despite no declared emergency—placing Oklahoma’s proposed medical freedom protections in direct contrast to Washington’s expanding pandemic infrastructure. … Full article

State lawmakers in Iowa and New Hampshire this week advanced bills that, if passed, will scale back vaccine mandates and expand medical choice.
Supporters in both states said the measures restore informed consent and rebuild trust after the COVID-19 era. Critics warned the proposals could weaken long-standing public health protections.
On Thursday, Iowa lawmakers advanced House File 2368, the Iowa Medical Freedom Act.
The proposal would prohibit businesses, schools and government entities from requiring “medical intervention” — including vaccines and masks — as a condition of employment, services or access to facilities.
State Rep. Samantha Fett, the bill’s sponsor, said Iowans “consistently prioritize the freedom to make their own medical decisions.” She argued that “no government has the authority to force a medical intervention on anyone.”
Fett called the mandates coercive and inconsistent with informed consent.
“Employers, schools and agencies are not doctors, and they cannot make personal health decisions for every Iowan,” she said. “This bill protects conscience rights, religious liberty, bodily autonomy and privacy. At its core, this bill protects everyone.”
Supporters said the measure protects bodily autonomy, religious liberty and privacy, while preserving access to vaccines and other treatments.
Lindsay Maher of Informed Choice Iowa said lawmakers are responding to ongoing concerns about how public health agencies handled COVID-19 and the government’s response to it.
Maher emphasized that the proposal “does not take away access to vaccines, but reinforces informed consent.” Conversations with doctors allow “people to have a choice,” she said. … Full article

A new bill introduced last month in the Tennessee General Assembly would classify mRNA injections and products as weapons of mass destruction, criminalize their manufacture, possession, or distribution, and impose felony penalties not only on private actors but also on state and local officials who fail to enforce the law.
If enacted, the law would take effect July 1, 2026.
The legislation, Senate Bill 1949, is formally titled the “mRNA Bioweapons Prohibition Act” and amends multiple sections of Tennessee Code Annotated, including Titles 8, 14, 39, 40, 53, 63, and 68, to integrate mRNA products directly into the state’s criminal and enforcement framework.
The bill was introduced by Sen. Janice Bowling and has already passed first and second consideration in the Senate, where it has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Tennessee joins Arizona and Minnesota in efforts to designate mRNA shots, like the COVID-19 vaccine, as bioweapons.
Unlike regulatory or health-policy legislation, SB 1949 places mRNA products squarely inside Tennessee’s criminal code governing weapons of mass destruction.
COVID-19 mRNA shots alone have been linked to 38,983 deaths, according to VAERS data—a figure federally-funded Harvard Pilgrim researchers confirm represents as little as 1% of actual adverse events, meaning the true number could be closer to four million.
The bill declares legislative intent in unambiguous terms:
“It is the intent of the general assembly to designate mRNA injections and products as weapons of mass destruction and to prohibit possession or distribution of mRNA injections and products in this state.”

Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, announced the martyrdom of commander Sami al-Dahdouh following an airstrike that targeted a group of civilians in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City in the northern Gaza Strip. Residents of the city gathered for his funeral this afternoon. Several other civilians were also wounded in the attack.
This comes after medical sources in the Gaza Strip reported the martyrdom of ten Palestinians since dawn today as a result of airstrikes and artillery shelling by the Israeli occupation army in Khan Younis in the south and the al-Falouja area of Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
Al-Manar correspondent in Gaza also reported the martyrdom of one civilian and the wounding of several others in a drone strike on Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.
Palestinian Information Center – February 15, 2026
GAZA – A viral video circulating on social media has sparked widespread outrage online after an Israeli soldier unashamedly admitted to committing atrocities in the Gaza Strip.
In a live TikTok session with American YouTuber Jeff Davidson, the soldier said, “We don’t just kill, we also rape,” referring to actions carried out by Israeli forces against Palestinian children and women in Gaza.
In the livestream conversation, which took place during the war in Gaza but was only released recently, Davidson initially questioned the soldier about his identity and military affiliation. The man stated that he was a member of the Israeli army and broadcasting from within Gaza.
When confronted by Davidson with the fact that the Israeli army was responsible for the destruction of Gaza, the soldier confirmed that without hesitation or any expression of remorse.
When the American interviewer asked him to show his surroundings, the soldier pointed the camera outward and described extensive destruction across the area.
“You wanna see Gaza? Don’t be surprised, there’s no house here. Flat, all flat,” the soldier said.
Davidson responded: “You guys flattened it?” The soldier replied: “Oh yeah.”
The conversation escalated when the soldier attempted to justify targeting children by showing a photo of a child holding a gun, claiming he had found it in a bombed home. Davidson refuted his claim, stressing that children defending themselves against an invading army can never justify killing or targeting them. He also held the occupation responsible for the situation in Gaza. … Full article

The Israeli army continued its blatant violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon on 15 February, hours after a late-night wave of violent attacks on the country’s south.
An Israeli drone crashed in the border town of Houla on Sunday, while a quadcopter blew up a house near the town of Mays al-Jabal, Al-Mayadeen’s correspondent in the south reported.
“Israeli occupation soldiers crossed the Blue Line at the town of Mays al-Jabal, and advanced 10 meters – conducting a survey of the area before retreating behind the fence,” they added.
The force consisted of two military vehicles, Lebanon’s National News Agency said.
The incursion and attacks came a day after Israel carried out a series of heavy air raids on Lebanon.
Warplanes carried out strikes on the outskirts of Houmine al-Fawqa in the Iqlim al-Tuffah region, targeting the Al-Hamila area.
Air raids also hit Mlikh and Basliya and Jabal Rihan heights, as well as the town of Sajd in Jezzine.
The Israeli army claimed it struck “warehouses of weapons and launchers belonging to the Hezbollah terror organization in several areas in southern Lebanon.”
The attacks coincided with the intensification of US-backed internal pressure against Hezbollah.
Lebanon’s Information Minister Paul Morcos said on Thursday that Beirut will vote next week on restricting arms north of the Litani River.
“We have completed the first phase, south of the Litani River. Next week, the government will make a decision regarding the second phase, considering what the army commander sets out in terms of needs and capabilities, so that we can decide accordingly, based on that explanation,” he said. … Full article

What will it cost the US economy?
By Kyle Anzalone | The Libertarian Institute | February 15, 2026
President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to increase economic pressure on Iran by attempting to cut oil exports to China.
A US official speaking with Axios said during the meeting between Trump and Netanyahu last week, the leaders “agreed that we will go full force with maximum pressure against Iran, for example, regarding Iranian oil sales to China.”
Kpler estimates that 80% of Iranian oil sales are to China. The Trump administration has attempted to cause intense economic suffering in Iran, hoping the result will be the overthrow of the government in Tehran.
Trump recently signed an executive order authorizing the White House to impose 25% tariffs on countries that buy Iranian oil. It’s unclear if the President will be willing to upend the delicate Trump relationship with China to damage the Iranian economy.
The US is ramping up the economic war as talks with Iran are ongoing. … Full article

Russian energy major Gazprom Neft has discovered a new oil field on the Yamal Peninsula that is the largest discovered in the region in three decades, according to a company release.
The new find is located in the Arctic zone of Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region, home to the world’s largest natural gas reserves but also a region with significant oil potential. Drilling and exploration are challenging, however, as the peninsula is almost entirely covered by permafrost.
The field is part of a large oil and gas cluster in the southern part of the peninsula, according to the company. It was discovered after three years of exploration, including 2D and 3D seismic surveys and geological and hydrodynamic modeling. An appraisal well drilled to a depth of 2.7 km produced commercial flows of low-sulfur, low-viscosity oil, gas, and condensate. Estimated geological reserves are 55 million tons, the company’s press release stated.
The field was named after Aleksey Kontorovich, one of the founders of the Russian scientific school of oil and gas geology and organic geochemistry. Additional exploration will be carried out to better understand the geological structure and production potential and to develop an extraction plan.
“This discovery – the largest for Yamal in the last 30 years – confirms that our country’s resource base is far from fully explored,” Aleksandr Dyukov, chairman of the board of Gazprom Neft, said in a statement on Wednesday. “In the Arctic zone, Eastern Siberia, and many other territories, opportunities remain to discover new large and ultra-large hydrocarbon deposits.” … Full article

Former Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko has been detained as part of an anti-corruption probe while attempting to cross the border into Poland, local media and officials have reported. The ex-minister is implicated in a $100 million kickback scheme allegedly run by a former close associate of Vladimir Zelensky.
On Sunday, several Ukrainian media reported that Galushchenko had been removed from the Kiev-Warsaw night train after border guards received an automatic alert about a person of interest attempting to leave the country. The request for the detainment was reportedly filed by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO).
NABU later confirmed the development, saying the minister was detained in the corruption case and that “priority investigative actions are underway.” Lawmaker Aleksey Goncharenko said Galushchenko had been served with a suspicion notice after previously holding witness status in the investigation. … Full article

Russia is ready to discuss establishing “temporary external governance” in Ukraine under UN auspices to facilitate long-overdue democratic elections, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin has said.
In an interview with TASS released on Sunday, Galuzin noted that the idea was first floated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in March 2025, describing it as one possible way to further the peace process.
This step, he said, “would make it possible to hold democratic elections in Ukraine, bring to power a capable government with which a full-fledged peace treaty could be signed, along with legitimate documents on future interstate cooperation.”
“In general, Russia is prepared to discuss with the US, European nations, and other countries the possibility of introducing temporary external governance in Kiev,” he added.

The US military surge around Venezuela that culminated in the military aggression and abduction of President Nicolas Maduro is approaching a $3 billion price tag, Bloomberg reported.
Bloomberg calculations show the deployment at its peak cost more than $20 million a day, with as much as 20% of the US Navy’s surface fleet tied up in the region. Former Pentagon comptroller Elaine McCusker estimated that Operation Southern Spear has “probably cost about $2 billion since August 2025,” excluding intelligence and targeting expenses.
The White House has said the operation did not cost taxpayers extra because the forces were already deployed. But experts cited by Bloomberg noted that combat activity, higher operational tempo and personnel benefits add to expenses, and there is “no contingency fund in the DOD budget for unexpected operations.”
Despite the USS Gerald R. Ford being reassigned to the Middle East, Bloomberg reported the Caribbean deployment has no clear end date, even as US lawmakers say they have not been provided with detailed cost estimates.
Billions spent. No formal accounting.

In the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bill Gates and key figures from the Gates Foundation regularly interacted with Jeffrey Epstein, discussing ways to finance and develop a global pandemic preparedness and vaccination network.
The communications between Gates and Epstein were included in the “Epstein Files” released Jan. 30 by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Last year’s passage of the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act prompted the release.
Sayer Ji told The Defender the files show that Epstein “functioned as a switchboard” connecting “hedge funds, central banks, billionaires, academic institutions and global health initiatives.”
Ji published his analysis of health- and medical-related information in the files in a series of Substack articles and posts on X.
Seamus Bruner, director of research at the Government Accountability Institute, said the files revealed the workings of a network of “Controligarchs on steroids, but with shocking new receipts.”
Bruner said the files showed that Epstein helped develop “the architecture for pandemic profiteering” years before the COVID-19 pandemic. … continue

The Epstein Files contain a “fund summary” published in 2014 by Biosys Capital Partners. The report lists companies “at the intersection of medicine, life sciences and digital technology” that it considered attractive investment targets.
The summary listed ResearchGate, noting that Gates provided $10 million in funding to ResearchGate in 2013. This was part of a Gates-led funding round that attracted $35 million in investments to ResearchGate.
The fund summary stated that ResearchGate aimed to “connect searchers and scientists … to share, discover, use, and distribute findings.”
But according to ScienceGuardians, the platform was actually developed “as a for-profit business to make big money from science” — with the intent to “control the flow of scientific ideas” and exert influence over scientific discourse.
Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., senior research scientist for Children’s Health Defense (CHD), said Gates’ 2013 investment in ResearchGate was part of a wave of investments during that period in online platforms. He said investors like Gates recognized the influence they could exert over those platforms’ algorithms. […]

How Unproven Science Is Deploying Chronic Wasting Disease Against American Deer
Lies are Unbekoming | February 9, 2026
To prove that a protein causes disease, researchers inject brain tissue from a sick animal directly into the brain of a healthy animal. They wait one to two years. When neurological damage appears, they declare transmission proven.
The question no one asks: when was the last time your brain came into contact with someone else’s brain mass?
This is the experimental foundation of the prion hypothesis—the claim that a misfolded protein, containing no DNA or RNA, can somehow “infect” a host and cause fatal neurodegenerative disease. Stanley Prusiner won the 1997 Nobel Prize for this idea. The atomic structure of these allegedly infectious proteins wasn’t even known at the time. It still isn’t fully resolved.
The prion hypothesis now justifies the destruction of entire deer herds across North America, the quarantine of ranches, the collapse of a billion-dollar breeding industry, and an expanding apparatus of mandatory testing, contamination zones, and land seizures.

Al Mayadeen | February 14, 2026
Guatemala announced Tuesday it will phase out its nearly 30-year partnership with Cuban medical brigades, becoming the latest country to buckle under sustained US pressure on Cuba.
The Guatemalan Health Ministry said 412 Cuban healthcare workers, including 333 doctors, will be gradually withdrawn throughout 2026 as their contracts expire. The Ministry framed the decision as a “technical analysis” aimed at strengthening the national health system and guaranteeing service continuity, language that thinly veils the geopolitical pressures driving the policy shift.
The announcement follows months of escalating US diplomatic coercion under the Trump administration, which has explicitly threatened visa restrictions against foreign government officials who maintain ties to Cuba’s medical missions.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has spearheaded the campaign, characterizing the programs as exploitative labor schemes while pressuring regional allies to sever decades-old healthcare partnerships.
A pattern of coercion
Guatemala joins a growing list of countries that have terminated or scaled back Cuban medical programs under US pressure. The Bahamas announced in June 2025 that it was preparing to cancel contracts with Cuban healthcare professionals following discussions with Washington.
Paraguay and Guyana have similarly ended their programs, with Guyana’s health minister stating that Cuban doctors would now be hired independently rather than through government channels.
In August 2025, Rubio announced visa restrictions against Brazilian and Grenadian officials for their roles in the Cuban medical program.
Additionally, in early February 2026, Saint Lucia Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre said that the United States was actively discouraging his government from sending its nationals to study medicine in Cuba. “I have a big problem. Many of our doctors got trained in Cuba, and now the great United States has said we can’t do that any longer,” Pierre explained.
The pressure campaign has intensified dramatically since January 2026, when President Trump declared Cuba an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to US national security through Executive Order 14380. The order authorized tariffs on any country supplying oil to Cuba, effectively creating a secondary sanctions regime that punishes third-party nations for lawful trade with the island.
Strangling Cuba’s lifeline
The island nation operates what is widely recognized as the largest sustained medical internationalism program in history. Since 1963, more than 600,000 Cuban health workers have provided medical services in over 160 countries, consistently providing more medical personnel to the developing world than all G8 countries combined.
Cuba’s medical brigades have long been a cornerstone of the island’s foreign policy and a vital source of hard currency. According to Cuba’s Foreign Ministry, nearly 24,000 medical professionals were working in 56 countries as of 2023. The program generated $6.3 billion in revenue for the government in 2018 and $3.9 billion in 2020, some in the form of oil from Venezuela. … Full article

The Washington Post has just published an article by Matthew Schmitz titled, “How the Epstein files are fueling antisemitic conspiracy theories,” which slanders popular commentators Tucker Carlson, Ana Kasparian, Briahna Joy Gray and even the British newspaper The Times as “antisemites” for reporting on Jeffrey Epstein’s Israel Ties.
In reality, Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to Israel are now an indisputable matter of public record.
As political commentator Lee Camp documented , Epstein’s documented ties to Israel include:
-He had close contact and some sort of bromance with former Israeli Prime Minister and former Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Barak met with Epstein dozens of times, consulted with him, stayed at his houses, and flew on his “Lolita Express.” Despite the corporate media’s recent hair-on-fire Epstein coverage, they shockingly never seem to notice that Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre (found unalive last year) said in court filings that Ehud Barak had raped and tortured her.
-Barak was also Epstein’s business partner in a high-tech startup called Carbyne.The startup involved geolocation software that could likely be used for surveillance.
-As Dropsite News reported, a senior Israeli intelligence officer even lived at Epstein’s Manhattan apartment during multiple periods from 2013 to 2016.
-Epstein brokered Israel’s security agreement with Mongolia. Do you think they’d give that responsibility to someone who was not deeply in bed with the Israeli security state?
-Epstein helped build a backchannel between Israel and Russia during the war in Syria. (Again, I’m sure Israel was in the habit of allowing any ol’ guy to create backchannels to Putin during proxy wars.)
-Epstein helped Israel sell their surveillance-state technology to the Ivory Coast.
-Epstein’s longtime co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell is the daughter of the late media mogul Robert Maxwell who was very likely a top Israeli spy. He was even given a grand borderline-royal funeral in Israel after his untimely end. (While on his yacht, he tripped over his connections to Mossad and fell to his death.)
-Epstein’s biggest financial patron and mentor was billionaire Leslie Wexner — a co-founder of “the Mega Group.” As journalist Whitney Webb reported, the Mega Group unites businessmen and politicians towards a goal of pro-Israel ethno-philanthropy (which is to say philanthropy benefiting a single ethnic group.)
-Epstein victim Maria Farmer says she was assaulted by Wexner and held hostage at his Ohio estate. The Wexner family has denied this — essentially saying they can’t keep track of every different person held hostage on their many estates.
-Epstein’s lawyer and close friend was parasitic slime mold Alan Dershowitz.Dershowitz also has extensive ties with Israel and was Netanyahu’s top choice to defend Israel at the International Court of Justice.
-FBI documents show Epstein funded pro-Israel groups including at least one settlement building. (“Settlement” is a fun and breezy euphemism for land theft.)
-FBI documents also show a source claimed Epstein was trained as an Israeli spy.
-And of course most people are familiar with former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta’s statement that he was told Epstein belonged to intelligence. He claimed at the time that that was part of the reason Epstein received such a sweetheart deal from Acosta in 2008.
Despite the mountains of evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was at the very least closely tied to Israeli intelligence, the Washington Post smears the commentators by claiming that they are parroting “the 1903 hoax ‘The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,’ which asserts that Jews use blackmail to subvert democratic societies.”
Citing examples of this, Matthew Schmitz writes:
Tucker Carlson, speaking to an even larger audience, presented child sex abuse as a modern form of ritual murder. “There are rituals involving children underway … rich and powerful people, sexually abusing young people,” he said. Carlson’s guest responded, “our government has been blackmailed on behalf of a foreign, malign, malignant interest.” The listener is left to understand that the foreign interest is Israel, a frequent target of Carlson and his guests.
Ana Kasparian, the host of a popular left-wing online news show, described Epstein’s network as a “pedophile ring/Israeli blackmail operation.” […]
Briahna Joy Gray, former press secretary for Bernie Sanders, called Epstein’s network a “ring of billionaire pedophiles with ties to Mossad” engaging in “full-on blackmail.”
In reality, the most authoritative source for the Mossad using Epstein to collect blackmail on politicians is not The Protocols of the Elders of Zion but former Israeli intelligence official Ari Ben-Menashe who alleges that, “Epstein was recruited by (Ghislaine and Robert) Maxwell and then by Ehud Barak who was director of military intelligence at the time then Prime Minister … and then they started work compromising people … and my understanding is they compromised quite a number of American politicians and other politicians as well”.
Ari Ben-Menashe has also said , “they (Israeli intelligence) trapped a number of U.S. presidents by using Jeffery Epstein, the American government is sort of trapped by the Israelis, Jeffery Epstein is one of their tools to trap them”.
Will Matthew Schmitz and the Washington Post now smear Ari Ben-Menashe as an anti-semite reciting the Protocols of the Elders of Zion? … Full article

In a revealing exchange at the Religious Liberty Commission’s hearing on Anti-Semitism and Freedom of Religion, commission member Carrie Prejean Boller sought a clear answer to the question “is anti-Zionism anti-Semitism?”
The answer, according to pro-Israel activist Yitzchok Frankel, and according to Rabbi Ari Berman, is “yes.” Frankel, when asked if anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism stated flatly “yes.” Rabbi Ari Berman further stated: “Undoubtedly anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.”
In other words, one must support the existence and the policies of a man-made state known as the State of Israel, or one is anti-Semitic.
Frankel, borrowing a metric from Natan Sharanky (head of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy), states that there are three types of things one is not allowed to say about the state or Israel—and if you do so you are an anti-Semite: you “shouldn’t delegitimize [the State of Israel], you shouldn’t demonize it, and you shouldn’t abide by a double standard.”
In other words, the only way one can be safe from charges of anti-Semitism is to never say anything that questions the legitimacy of the government of Israel, and one cannot criticize it either. And let’s not kid ourselves that “moderate” criticism of the Israeli state will be termed as anything other than “demonizing” Israel. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that virtually any criticism of the Israeli state is classified by Zionists as “demonizing” Israel. … continue

Australian authorities were fully aware that inviting Israel’s president for a visit was going to ignite unrest and furious opposition. They invited him anyway, and sent in the police to assault the protesters.
I saw a video of two cops pinning a kid in a keffiyeh face down on the ground and proceeding to punch him over and over again long after he’d been subdued.
I saw another video of police repeatedly punching a middle-aged man who was holding his hands in the air until he fell to the ground.
I saw another video of police repeatedly pepper spraying a demonstrator directly in the face as he was visibly complying with their demands to move and providing no resistance whatsoever.
I saw another video of police manhandling Muslim men who were literally on their knees praying, presenting no possible threat of any kind.
… this happens as the state of Queensland moves to make it illegal to utter the pro-Palestine phrases “from the river to the sea” or “globalise the intifada”, with violations punishable by two years in prison. This is easily the single most bat shit insane speech suppression legislation in Australian history, and that’s an extremely high bar.
To be clear, not one person sincerely believes that “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is a genocidal or antisemitic statement. This is one of those many, many instances in which Israel supporters are pretending to believe something they do not actually believe in order to further outlaw criticism of Israel.
They’re trying to make it so that nobody feels comfortable opposing Israel’s abuses without first consulting with a lawyer about what exactly they are legally permitted to say in that moment, thereby throwing a chilling effect on pro-Palestine activism throughout the nation.
This comes weeks after the Australian government passed frightening new “hate speech” laws in the name of “combatting antisemitism” which will make it much easier to designate activist groups as “hate groups”. Australian officials have conspicuously refused to say that the new laws will not be used to ban groups for speech that is critical of Israel, which tells you all you need to know about the real intentions at work here.
This also comes as the state of New South Wales cracks down on protests with extreme aggression, banning protests in certain areas and seeking to outlaw the use of the phrase “globalise the intifada” to appease Australia’s obscenely powerful Israel lobby. Premier Chris Minns is presently defending the actions of the police he sent in to crack skulls at the Herzog protests on Monday.
Just two months ago a prominent member of the Australian Israel lobby publicly announced that he wants a total ban on pro-Palestine protests throughout the nation, and said it is criticism of Israel that is the problem, not just hatred toward Jews. Joel Burnie, Executive Manager of the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC), explicitly said that what he wants is “No more protests! No more protests!” in Australia.
“I for one as a Jewish leader will no long talk about antisemitism in isolation from Israel, because it’s the rhetoric and language on Israel that motivates the people to come and kill us,” Burnie said during a video conference, later adding that “ language on Israel invading all of our social spaces in Australia have made this country a very unsafe space and place for Jews.”
Increment by increment, Joel Burnie and his ilk have been getting their wish ever since. Australian civil rights are indeed being disintegrated to protect the information interests of a genocidal apartheid state.
As I often remind readers, Australia is the only so-called democracy in the world which has no national charter or bill of rights of any kind. … Full article

The Israeli military has closed dozens of war-crimes investigations into its soldiers arising from the first two years of its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, the Jerusalem Post reported on 8 February.
Publication of the details of the case closures was delayed by fears that doing so would ease the way for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to pursue war crimes charges against the soldiers.
Many of the closed cases relate to the deaths of as many as 98 Palestinian detainees from Gaza held in military detention facilities. … continue

Four Palestinians were injured on Saturday by Israeli army gunfire across the Gaza Strip amid daily Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in effect since Oct. 10, 2025, Anadolu reports.
A young girl and an elderly man were wounded by Israeli gunfire east of Khan Younis, a medical source told Anadolu.
Another young girl was shot in the head by Israeli army gunfire in the Netzarim area in the central Gaza Strip, a medical source said.
In a separate incident, the medical source said a 60-year-old man was shot in the foot by Israeli army gunfire in Al-Mughraqa area south of Gaza City.
Eyewitnesses said Israeli forces opened heavy, indiscriminate fire east of the city, before carrying out large-scale demolitions of several residential buildings in the area.

The new order that is being brought about by the US Trump administration, through his Orwellian-named “Board of Peace,” is simply an Israeli model being exported to the world. It is a desperate attempt to both safeguard America’s position as the dominant superpower while also being a Zionist coup.
Although the so-called “Board of Peace” (BoP) was granted legal authorization by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) over its proposed purpose in supporting the Gaza ceasefire, the organization’s founding charter fails to mention Gaza or Palestine once. It also has no Palestinians who are part of it.
The BoP itself is very clearly a body that seeks to replace the United Nations, paving the way for a world that no longer considers the Geneva Conventions or International Law. We also see proof of the US moving in this direction through its latest 2026 defense budget, recently passed through Congress. Not only does it direct its mandatory $4 billion to the Zionist entity, but it also bars financing the UN’s Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Washington actively sanctions UN officials and ICC judges. Additionally, it withdrew from the UN’s Human Rights Council. None of this is random; it is all part of a carefully calculated plot, one that ultimately works to the benefit of the Israelis. … continue

French President Emmanuel Macron has committed to doing everything in his power to overthrow Niger’s current authorities, Nigerien President Abdourahamane Tchiani said.
“Macron made a commitment before his departure that he would do everything to overthrow the Niger regime, which dared to choose the path of independence, the path of sovereignty, the path of good governance and the path of self-sufficiency,” Tchiani told the RTN broadcaster.
The attack on Niamey airport is part of Paris’ plans to destabilize the situation in the country, the president added.
The Niamey airport was attacked in the early hours of January 29. Tchiani earlier accused France, Benin and Cote d’Ivoire of sponsoring the attackers and warned of retaliation.
French intelligence services held a meeting in Niger in July 2025, roughly 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the village of Namaro, where a decision to attack the airport was made, Tchiani said.
From April 26-28, French intelligence services supplied mercenaries on the right bank of the Niger River with weapons, financial resources, and various kinds of military equipment to destabilize Niger, the president said.

“The EU appears confused, rooted in an inability to understand what is happening inside Iran,” he said, adding that “Strategically, an aimless EU has lost all geopolitical weight in our region.”

The Bureau of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), part of the Council of Europe (not the European Union), established in October 2025 a platform for Russians in exile called the Russian Democratic Forces, which is intended to represent a new Russian government-in-exile in Europe.
With little media attention, Europe is attempting to elevate the status of the Russian opposition, while openly admitting that the new, so-called opposition lacks the structure and power to make a significant difference. Above all, they admit that the selection of members for this so-called government-in-exile was fundamentally undemocratic.
Following the formation of a so-called representative delegation of Belarusian democratic forces, the Assembly recently decided to appoint a Russian delegation as well – again, without democratic consultation. … continue

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Saturday that Europe has decided to go to war with Russia by 2030 and that preparations are already underway in certain European countries.
“Europe has decided that it will go to war [with Russia] by 2030. Not that it wants to, might, or plans to – it has decided. It has made the decision,” Orban said.
Preparations for war are being carried out across Europe, except in Hungary and Slovakia, he added.
“Nine [European] countries already have compulsory military service. In some places, it also applies to women. The population is being sent instructions on what to do in the event of war. Military spending has risen sharply. Agreements have been signed to send troops to Ukraine,” he said.
In recent years, Russia has noted unprecedented NATO activity near its western borders. The alliance has expanded its initiatives, describing them as measures to deter alleged Russian aggression. Russian authorities have repeatedly expressed concern over the buildup of NATO forces in Europe. The Russian Foreign Ministry has said that Russia remains open to dialogue with NATO on an equal footing, provided that the West abandons its course toward militarizing the continent.

NATO countries are plotting an illegal maritime blockade of Russia, particularly in the Baltic and the Arctic regions, Moscow’s ambassador to Norway, Nikolay Korchunov, has said.
In an interview with RIA Novosti published on Saturday, Korchunov accused the bloc’s members, including Norway, of “putting the Baltic-Arctic region on a barrack-like footing” by holding a series of exercises. This, he added, is aimed at “restricting freedom of navigation and violates international law norms.”
According to the envoy, NATO is also developing plans for “a partial or complete naval blockade” of Russia. In addition, such NATO members as Norway, Sweden, and Finland “are working together to increase military mobility through the development of transport and logistics corridors from west to east, as well as through cross-border use of bases and other military infrastructure.”
These preparations increase tensions and represent a direct threat to Russia’s national security and would force Moscow to take countermeasures, Korchunov warned.
His remarks come after Bloomberg reported on Friday that UK Defense Secretary John Healey had met with counterparts from Baltic and Nordic nations on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference to discuss seizing Russia-linked oil tankers. … continue

This will be a rather lengthy article, but you need to know what Russia and China are doing in a closely coordinated series of actions that show a serious commitment to counter US actions to punish and isolate Iran and Cuba. Let’s start with Iran… Since the June 2025 12-day Iran–Israel war (which ended with a US-brokered ceasefire on 24 June 2025), Russia and China have provided Iran with a combination of diplomatic, economic, military-technical, and strategic support. This has helped Tehran recover from strikes on its nuclear sites, air defenses, and missile infrastructure, while deepening their “axis” alignment against Western pressure. Support has been pragmatic rather than unconditional—neither offered direct intervention during the conflict, leading to some Iranian frustration—but has accelerated in the months since.
The biggest news — a development that has been largely ignored in the West — was the signing of the Trilateral Strategic Pact (signed 29 January 2026), which provides a comprehensive framework for diplomatic, economic, and security coordination (emphasizing sovereignty, sanctions resistance, and multipolarity; no formal defense alliance). The signing occurred through simultaneous ceremonies in Tehran, Beijing, and Moscow, as confirmed by state media in all three countries and reported across outlets like Middle East Monitor, GV Wire, and others. It represents a significant escalation in coordination among the three nations, building directly on their existing bilateral frameworks.
It formalizes a trilateral coordination mechanism for the first time, linking the three powers in a shared strategic framework. It builds on the bilateral agreements that Iran had signed previously with Russia and China… continue

In late January, the US Department of Justice dumped millions of documents detailing the criminal activities of US oligarch and serial paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, including his vast rolodex of paedophilic celebrities, financiers, politicians and public figures. The tranche is so vast, independent journalists and researchers have barely scratched the surface yet. But preliminary investigations amply demonstrate Epstein was centrally enmeshed with multiple foreign spy agencies. First and foremost, the Zionist entity’s notorious Mossad. The horrors wrought on West Asia as a result are incalculable.
A recurrent phenomenon in the newly-released documents, emails and text messages is Epstein and his grand global nexus seeking to profit from Western-inflicted misery the world over. … continue

On the face of it the English High Court ruling that the Palestine Action proscription is unlawful makes the decision that the proscription remains in place pending appeal utterly illogical. But what if the High Court ruling is deliberately designed to fail at appeal?
I believe that it is. They chose an extremely narrow path to rule that proscription was unlawful and produced an extremely weak judgment. This gives an impression of fairness in the judicial system – except that nothing has changed, the ban remains in force. And it remains in force because the judgment is designed for the government to win at appeal. … continue

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), an American nonprofit organization based in New York City, has discontinued its annual Global Impunity Index, a decision that current and former staff members say was motivated by a desire to avoid highlighting Israel’s leading role in unpunished killings of journalists amid its genocidal war against the people of Gaza.
According to whistleblowers speaking to The Electronic Intifada, CPJ CEO Jodie Ginsberg canceled the index last August in a calculated move to prevent Israel from topping the list.
The Impunity Index, published since 2008, ranks countries by the rate of unsolved murders of journalists relative to population over a 10-year rolling period, serving as a key measure of accountability widely cited by the UN Human Rights Office and UNESCO.
The whistleblowers argue that Israel, already ranked second in the 2024 index (behind Haiti), would have surged to number one in the 2025 edition covering 2024, the first full year of Israel’s war on Gaza.
CPJ’s own data shows Israel responsible for the deliberate killing of dozens of journalists in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iran in recent years.
The Government Media Office in Gaza reports that Israel has killed more than 260 journalists and media workers since October 2023, making its onslaught deadlier for journalists than major historical conflicts combined.
“Since the Impunity Index usually covers a timeframe of 10 years, Israel would have been ranked near the top, if not number one, for many years to come,” the whistleblowers stated.
They allege Ginsberg “couldn’t afford the heat” from CPJ’s board, pro-Israel donors, including those linked to Rupert Murdoch-owned publications and Israeli-linked firms, and pressure from Israel and its allies. … Full article

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM – The Israeli occupation authorities prevented an Italian journalist from entering the occupying state, despite the fact that he had entered and exited about 15 times in recent years and had obtained a journalist card on every visit from the Government Press Office.
According to details reported by the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz on Wednesday, in July last year the digital visa of Alessandro Stefanelli was canceled without providing justification.
In January, when he tried to enter Israel via Jordan, he was detained for investigation for about five hours and his entry was not approved. It was written in the documents handed to him that the Israeli police decided that he covers events in Israel “in a biased manner, one sided”.
Stefanelli works as an independent journalist with international media outlets, including the French Libération, the American The Atlantic, and the Italian La Repubblica and La Stampa.

A lawyers association has filed a legal complaint against French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot over his accusations against UN Palestinian rights rapporteur Francesca Albanese regarding alleged remarks she made about Israel.
Barrot this week accused Albanese of labeling Israel a “common enemy of humanity” and called for her removal from the UN Human Rights Council. Albanese has rejected the allegations as “shameful and defamatory,” insisting that in her remarks made recently in Doha she was referring to “the system” enabling genocide in Palestine and not to the Israeli people or state.
On Thursday, the Association of Lawyers for the Respect of International Law (JURDI) filed a legal complaint against Barrot, saying that his statements represent “the dissemination of false information,” undermine the independence of UN mechanisms, and could constitute a criminal offence under French law. … continue

The Israeli occupation carried out a drone strike on a vehicle in the town of Tayri in the Bint Jbeil district of southern Lebanon on Thursday evening, killing one person, Lebanon’s Ministry of Health said.
The attack was part of a broader escalation across southern Lebanon, where the Israeli occupation also fired illumination flares over Ras Naqoura and shelled the outskirts of Markaba, al-Labbouneh, and Maroun al-Ras, while opening fire toward the outskirts of Alma al-Shaab.
Israeli drones also dropped two bombs on excavators in Aita al-Shaab, according to local reports.

Around 12:30am in the night between February 10 and 11, a group of Israeli settlers attacked the home of the Daraghmeh family in Khirbet Samra, Northern Jordan Valley.
Members of the family, who were awake to watch over their property, saw one settler close to one of the sheep pens, most likely planning to steal the animals. When they ran towards the settler to stop him, he called for his two accomplices who were hiding nearby, and they started violently beating the Palestinians who were protecting their livestock. Outnumbered, before running away, the settlers used pepper spray on Ayman, Mahyoub, and Fawzi Daraghmeh. Ayman’s sons Mohammad and Ahmad were also pepper-sprayed, as well as a European activist who was there in solidarity with the Palestinian family.
The injured Palestinians were taken into medical care and treated for their burning eyes and faces, caused by the pepper spray. They are now back at their homes, which are being violently targeted by settler colonial violence.
The Daraghmehs are the only family left in Khirbet Samra, fiercely resisting constant harassment and attacks from zionist settlers and occupation forces: settlers invade their land day and night, trying to steal their sheep and threatening them with dogs and ATVs when they go shepherding. Grazing sheep is at the foundation of these communities’ livelihood, and it has been made almost impossible by daily settler violence, as well as by the army turning most Palestinian fields into “firing zones” or “closed military zones.” … Full article

Later, occupation forces stormed the area and fired live rounds, tear gas canisters, and concussion grenade towards citizens, causing a number of them to suffer inhalation injuries, and damaging the windows of a mosque.

More than 2,000 British nationals served in the Israeli military during its genocide in Gaza, according to new data published by Declassified UK.
The investigative outlet reported that figures obtained through a Freedom of Information request submitted to the Israeli army show that 1,686 British-Israeli dual nationals and a further 383 individuals holding British, Israeli and at least one additional nationality were serving in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) as of March 2025. The combined total stands at 2,069 UK nationals.
The British contingent forms part of a much larger group of foreign nationals serving in the Israeli military. The data indicates that 43,194 dual nationals and 3,913 multi-nationals were enlisted in the IDF, amounting to 47,107 soldiers holding Israeli citizenship alongside at least one other nationality.
The largest cohort comes from the US, with 12,135 US-Israeli dual nationals and 1,207 US multi-nationals — a total of 13,342 Americans. France follows with 6,127 dual nationals and 337 multi-nationals. Significant numbers were also recorded from Russia (5,067), Germany (3,901), Ukraine (3,210), Romania (1,675) and Poland (1,668).
The findings have prompted renewed calls for the UK authorities to examine whether British nationals serving in the IDF were involved in violations of international law during Israel’s military campaign assault in Gaza, which has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and is the subject of proceedings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for genocide.
Last year, a 240-page dossier naming ten British nationals was submitted to the Metropolitan Police’s war crimes unit by the Public Interest Law Centre and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights. The complaint alleged involvement in the targeted killing of civilians and aid workers, as well as indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas. … Full article

Early last month, the forces of the ‘new’ Syrian army flooded across north and east Syria. The troops seized key cities and major oil fields, effectively ending a decade of US-backed Kurdish autonomy – with Washington’s blessing.
One of those cities was Raqqa, the former capital of ISIS’s self-proclaimed ‘caliphate’ in Syria and a symbol of sectarianism, bloodshed, and iron-fist rule. … continue

It appears the main topic of discussion at Wednesday’s meeting between Donald Trump and Bibi Netanyahu was Iran’s ballistic missile program. It really was not a discussion… Instead it was Bibi, with his advisers, trying to sell Trump and his team on the necessity of ending Iran’s ballistic missile capability. Why the emphasis on those missiles when, until recently, the big concern was whether Iran could build a nuclear bomb? The US and Israeli narrative about Iran’s missile and drone strikes in Israel during the 12-day war in June 2025 insists that Iran did little damage and that the combined might of US and Israeli air-defense systems knocked down 90% of the Iranian ballistic missiles. If that was true, why is Netanyahu pressing Trump touting on the need for Iran to eliminate its ballistic missile force?
I have the answer… continue

European officials who continue to oppose dialogue with Russia are suffering from “political myopia,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. The comments come after Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda criticized some EU members for “knocking on the Kremlin’s door.”
Speaking to national broadcaster LRT this week, Nauseda lamented growing EU discussion of renewed diplomatic engagement with Russia, arguing it undermines bloc unity. “We have to act together and not send this or that representative to knock on or scratch the Kremlin’s door,” he said.
Any European leader can have a direct line to Russian President Vladimir Putin if requested, Peskov countered. The Russian leader prefers contact “even where very serious contradictions exist” because dialogue helps resolve tensions, he added. … continue

Apparently, NATO officials are beginning to admit that the organization is not in a position of military superiority over the Russian Federation. In a recent statement, a senior NATO official admitted that Russia has an advantage in adapting to new forms of warfare and military technology, warning of the Western alliance’s obsolescence.
The warning was issued by Admiral Pierre Vandier, who holds the position of NATO’s technological transformation commander. He commented on how world powers adapt to ever-changing military technologies and made it clear that Russia has greater adaptive capacity than NATO.
Vandier described NATO as “static and predictable.” According to him, the bloc fails to perceive in time the constant changes in the global military and geopolitical scenarios. He draws special attention to the issue of military technology, warning how the bloc is still bound to an outdated mentality about combat technology – which proves useless on the battlefield in contemporary conflicts. Meanwhile, Russia is perfectly adapted to the new reality of war, knowing how to use technology satisfactorily in the pursuit of its strategic objectives. … continue

Germany is willing to supply five interceptor missiles for US-made Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, but only if other European countries agree to provide 30 more, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has said.
It usually takes two Patriot missiles, priced from to $3.5 to $5 million each, to intercept a single target. Russia deploys dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones in its airstrikes on Ukraine.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhail Fedorov asked for more munitions for the air defense systems during a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, also known as the Ramstein group, in Brussels on Thursday. … continue

People in key NATO nations are reluctant to tighten their belts to fund increased defense spending, despite believing that the world is “heading toward global war,” according to a Politico poll published on Friday.
The poll, which surveyed at least 2,000 people from the US, Canada, the UK, France, and Germany each, found that majorities in four of the five countries think “the world is becoming more dangerous” and expect World War III to break out within five years.
Nearly half of Americans (46%) consider a new world war ‘likely’ or ‘very likely’ by 2031, up from 38% last year. In the UK, 43% share this belief, up from 30% in March 2025.
French respondents matched British levels at 43%, and 40% of Canadians expect war within five years. Only Germans remain skeptical, with a majority believing that a global conflict is unlikely in the near term.
The survey suggested a stark disconnect, however, between the growing alarm and willingness to pay for a defense buildup. … continue

The UK High Court ruled on Friday that the government’s proscription of Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act was unlawful.
On Friday, three judges led by Dame Victoria Sharp, president of the King’s Bench Division, concluded that the decision to ban the group was unlawful. However, the ban will remain temporarily in place to allow the government time to appeal.
From July 5 last year, membership of or public support for Palestine Action became a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. The group had been placed on the list of proscribed organisations, categorizing it alongside internationally recognized armed groups.
The court upheld the challenge on two of four grounds. Judges found that the proscription represented “a very significant interference” with the rights to freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, and association. They also ruled that Yvette Cooper’s decision was inconsistent with her own stated policy.
Sharp described Palestine Action as an organisation “that promotes its political cause through criminality and encouragement of criminality”, but continued, “The court considered that the proscription of Palestine Action was disproportionate. A very small number of Palestine Action’s activities amounted to acts of terrorism within the definition of section 1 of the 2000 Act.”
“For these, and for Palestine Action’s other criminal activities, the general criminal law remains available. The nature and scale of Palestine Action’s activities falling within the definition of terrorism had not yet reached the level, scale, and persistence to warrant proscription,” Sharp added. … continue
