Violence against Palestinians and the press has been on going problem in Israel in general for years, but the level of such incidents in the occupied West Bank has reached a fevered pitch in recent months, with Israeli settlers attacking people with virtual impunity.

On Tuesday, Israeli forces arrested at least six children from Hebron in the occupied West Bank, the report said.

Trump is now joined in that ill-advised effort of mixed messaging by America’s top diplomat, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who recently gave an intellectual twist to Trump’s hostility to Iranian civilization.

I’ve had this article sitting in storage waiting for the right moment to publish it. Tonight, Mario Nawfal hosted a debate on Iran that featured Robert Barnes and Matt Tardio. Matt put out so much disinformation and falsities that I believe now is the time to set the record straight about what happened to the JCPOA. I was tempted to attach the prefix, “RE” to Matt’s last name but decided not to go down the ad hominem path. Instead, let’s just deal with the facts.
Google whistleblower Tristan Harris has issued a chilling warning that increasing reliance on digital networks and artificial intelligence (AI) in America’s nuclear infrastructure could introduce catastrophic vulnerabilities and trigger Armageddon.
The above image is a scan of a piece of Trinitite. This is desert sand that was underneath the explosion of the world's first Atomic bomb in New Mexico as part of project TRINITY, hence the name Trinitite. The heat from that blast melted the sand into a green glass, not unlike the Fulgurites that result when lightning hits sandy soil.

US President Donald Trump issued another threat against Iran while speaking at a campaign rally in Alaska, promising unspecified further action against Tehran.
“Wait till you see what we do to Iran. We’re going to do a number. Wait till you see,” Trump told the crowd.
The US president went on to say that Washington had “sort of had it” with Iran.
Trump also reiterated his assertion that Iran would not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.
“The big thing is they were not going to have a nuclear weapon, and they won’t,” Trump said.
