ISRAEL ATTACKS IRAN Israel carries out preemptive strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, without U.S. involvement Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the operation would be ‘rolling back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival’ ATTA KENARE/AFP via Getty Images A general view of Tehran after Israel announced the launch of "precise strikes" on military targets in Iran on October 26, 2024. By Marc Rod June 12, 2025 SHARE Israeli leaders said they carried out a series of preemptive strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and key personnel early Thursday evening, declaring a national state of emergency as it prepares for anticipated Iranian retaliation. U.S. officials took steps to distance themselves from the Israeli strikes, emphasizing that it was not involved. Israelis were instructed to stay close to protected spaces and avoid gatherings, educational activities have been canceled and the Israeli airspace has been closed. The Israeli Embassy in Washington issued a statement that Israel had launched a “preemptive, precise, combined offensive to strike Iran’s nuclear program,” and that Israeli jets had been involved in the “first stage” targeting “dozens of military targets, including nuclear targets in different areas of Iran.” “Today, Iran is closer than ever to obtaining a nuclear weapon. Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of the Iranian regime are an existential threat to the state of Israel and to the wider world,” the statement reads. “The State of Israel has no choice but to fulfill the obligation to act in defense of its citizens and will continue to do so everywhere it is required to do so, as we have done in the past.” In a prerecorded statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the operation, named “Rising Lion,” was aimed at “rolling back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival,” and would “continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.” He said that Israel had targeted Iran’s nuclear enrichment and weaponization program, its enrichment facility in Natanz, its leading nuclear scientist working on the bomb and its ballistic missile program. Netanyahu said that Iran has amassed enough uranium for nine atomic bombs in recent years, and taken “steps it has never taken before … to weaponize this enriched uranium” and if not stopped, could produce a nuclear weapon within a few months. “When enemies vow to destroy you, believe them. When enemies build weapons of mass destruction, stop them,” Netanyahu said. “As the Bible teaches us, when someone comes to kill you, rise and act first. This is exactly what Israel has done today. We have risen like lions to defend ourselves.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement the U.S. did not participate in the strikes and urged Iran not to retaliate against American targets. “Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense. President Trump and the Administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear: Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel,” Rubio said. Just hours before the strikes, President Donald Trump said on social media the U.S. remains “committed to a Diplomatic Resolution to the Iran Nuclear Issue!” and “They could be a Great Country, but they first must completely give up hopes of obtaining a Nuclear Weapon.” Dana Stroul, the former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East under President Joe Biden and the research director at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said the strike “appears to be the first wave of an Israeli campaign.” “The initial target set in downtown Tehran, including what appear to be precise strikes at the residences of senior officials, suggests an intent to paralyze the leadership and command and control of the regime,” Stroul told Jewish Insider. “Follow-on sets of targets could be much broader and geographically diverse.” The strikes come a day after the International Atomic Energy Agency voted to censure Iran for noncompliance with nonproliferation obligations. “The Iranian regime appears to have grievously misunderestimated Israeli intent — in a post-Oct. 7 environment, the Israelis were not going to sit back and wait while Iran took additional aggressive steps in its nuclear program as the IAEA definitively confirmed its noncompliance,” Stroul added. “What remains unclear is whether or not President Trump gave the greenlight only days before his envoy Steve Witkoff was supposed to travel back to the region for another round of nuclear negotiations.” Trump’s self-imposed two-month deadline for nuclear talks expired this week. Stroul said that Rubio’s comments were “stunning.” “The American secretary of state is unambiguously stating publicly that Israel made its decision on its own,” she explained. “When Rubio says: Iran should not target U.S. personnel or U.S. interests, there is a very real risk that the Iranians implicitly understand this as a green light to directly attack Israel. What is left unsaid is whether or not the United States will actively participate in the defense of Israel as it did when Iran directly attacked in April and October of last year.” She said the “ambiguity or suggestion of daylight between the United States and Israel runs the risk of emboldening adversaries.”

Try looking at yourself.

Since Oct 2024 I have seen a pattern with antisemitism and it is this: Never let the crisis feeling end, keep something bad going. That seems to be their motto.

Humanitarian Aid in Gaza: What’s Really Happening Gaza aid June 11, 2025 Since Hamas’ October 7, 2023, massacre of Israelis, humanitarian aid for Gazans has become one of the most complex challenges in the war, although Israel has enabled the transfer of nearly 1.8 million tons of aid into Gaza, food insecurity and the rising threat of hunger remain significant, as are the difficulties of ensuring that aid reaches those who need it the most. Unfortunately, Hamas has long exploited humanitarian aid to fund its terror operations and maintain control over the civilian population. The newly launched U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aims to address this challenge by offering a new mechanism to provide food and essential supplies directly to Gazans, with logistical and security support from Israel. But recent reports of violence and overcrowding near aid sites have sparked controversy and misinformation. Israeli, U.S., and GHF officials deny the allegations, pointing to drone footage and firsthand accounts that contradict early headlines. Adding to the difficult situation, eight GHF workers have also been reportedly attacked and murdered by Hamas terrorists while delivering aid. Here’s what’s really happening on the ground: how aid is being delivered, how Hamas has weaponized aid, and what to expect moving forward. How is aid being delivered in Gaza? Humanitarian aid in Gaza is currently delivered through two main channels: traditional international efforts, primarily led by the UN, and the newly established Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is backed by the U.S. and secured by Israel. GHF operates “Secure Distribution Sites” in southern and central Gaza with logistical support from Israel and oversight by international partners. These sites are designed to bypass Hamas entirely—unlike UN operations, which often have relied on or coordinated with Hamas-affiliated entities. Aid at GHF sites is delivered directly to civilians, without Hamas involvement, under tight security. However, as of June 2025, GHF can feed only about half of Gaza’s population, which is why maintaining the UN’s parallel mechanism—despite vulnerability to Hamas interference—remains essential. What is the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)? The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is a new U.S.- and Israel-backed initiative designed to deliver humanitarian aid directly to Palestinian civilians, while keeping that aid out of the hands of terrorists. Launched in May 2025, GHF was created in response to longstanding concerns that aid funneled through traditional channels, such as through the UN, has often been diverted or exploited by Hamas—and other militias and terror groups—to maintain control over Gaza and fund terror operations. The GHF is currently led by Rev. Dr. Johnnie Moore, an American evangelical leader and former faith adviser to President Donald Trump. Moore was appointed as GHF's leader in early June 2025, following the resignation of Jake Wood, a U.S. Marine veteran and co-founder of Team Rubicon, who stepped down citing concerns about maintaining humanitarian neutrality in the foundation's operations. Currently, it operates with four initial distribution sites – three near Rafah and one near central Gaza – with discussions underway to expand to northern Gaza. While GHF represents a bold step toward ensuring aid reaches civilians rather than terrorists, it is not yet a full replacement for other humanitarian mechanisms, such as those through the UN. As of June 2025, the GHF has the capacity to provide food assistance to roughly half of Gaza’s population. As GHF scales up its infrastructure and reach, traditional international aid channels—despite their vulnerabilities to Hamas exploitation—will remain essential to addressing the full scope of humanitarian needs in Gaza. What Every American Should Know About U.S. Aid to Israel Why is Gaza Humanitarian Foundation different—and why does it matter? Launched in late May 2025, the foundation began distributing food packages on May 26 at so-called “Secure Distribution Sites” in Gaza’s Rafah area—an effort to bypass Hamas control and increase daily aid deliveries. With logistical and security backing from Israel and oversight from international partners, GHF has been able to function independently of the United Nations and other organizations that have, by necessity, engaged with Hamas in aid distribution. While the UN does not officially designate Hamas as a terrorist organization—unlike the U.S., EU, and other key allies—this lack of designation has allowed Hamas to play a role in some UN-administered operations in Gaza. GHF aims to change that dynamic by ensuring aid reaches civilians directly, without empowering terrorist groups. This alternative aid model is designed to bypass Hamas. GHF’s leaders say their mission is to restore dignity and deliver relief without empowering terror groups. But not everyone supports this model. UN officials have criticized GHF as an effort to “circumvent the UN and its agencies,” even claiming it violates “humanitarian principles.” GHF head Johnnie Moore has pushed back strongly, stating: “Serving the people of Gaza with dignity and compassion must be the top priority. We welcome others to join us and urge extreme caution against sharing unverified information from sources that have repeatedly issued demonstrably false reports.” Looking ahead, GHF plans to scale up, but that won’t be easy. Alongside logistical hurdles, it faces continued efforts by Hamas to sabotage its work and spread misinformation to the international media, as well as significant issues of overcrowding of distribution sites. Meanwhile, ceasefire and hostage-release negotiations have remained stalled, with Hamas rejecting proposals backed by Israel and the U.S. The outcome of these talks could significantly impact how humanitarian aid is delivered and distributed across Gaza. Who Are the Hostages Still Held By Hamas? What really happened near the aid sites — and how the media got it wrong In early June, GHF temporarily paused operations due to unrest near its Tel al-Sultan sites in Rafah. Large, unruly crowds gathered near fully fenced-off aid zones secured by U.S. contractors and patrolled by IDF. Alarmed by people surging fences, the IDF fired warning shots, primarily aimed at deterrence and crowd control, not at aid-seekers themselves. Meanwhile, Hamas gunmen were reportedly firing into the air and near civilians, aiming to intimidate people into avoiding the U.S. and Israeli-backed aid system. Despite Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry claims that 61 Palestinians were killed and nearly 300 wounded, the IDF, supported by independent drone footage and U.S. assessments, maintains that the figures were significantly inflated. The Washington Post had to issue a correction after initially stating "31 Palestinian civilians were killed" at a U.S.-run aid site, admitting they failed to properly indicate these were unverified Health Ministry figures. They later added Israeli denials and called the claims “fabricated.” Other media outlets, including CNN, the BBC, and The New York Times, also cited claims of dozens killed near the GHF distribution sites. Social media activists quickly dubbed the events the “Witkoff Massacre,” invoking U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. This hyperbolic label has been unequivocally rejected by Israeli and U.S. officials, who warned it weaponizes disinformation, undermining humanitarian aid and ceasefire diplomacy. Urban War Expert John Spencer Breaks Down Israel’s War and Media Misinformation On June 2, the IDF released drone footage showing Hamas gunmen firing at Gazan civilians near an aid distribution site, directly contradicting media claims that Israeli forces had opened fire on civilians. The IDF stated clearly that it did not shoot at civilians and emphasized that such reports were false. Israel reaffirmed its cooperation with the GHF and other international aid groups to ensure aid reaches civilians, not Hamas. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee also condemned what he called “reckless and irresponsible reporting” by major U.S. outlets, warning that such misinformation fuels antisemitic violence, referencing two recent attacks on Jewish targets in Washington, D.C., and Colorado. He praised GHF’s success in delivering over five million meals without incident. “False reporting of violence at our sites has a chilling effect on the local population,” said GHF head Johnnie Moore. “We can think of no greater disservice to a community in dire need.” It is critical to note that aid delivery in an active war zone is extremely complex. There is often chaos, confusion, and misinformation. The media have a responsibility to thoroughly vet information before publishing false narratives. That complexity was again evident on June 10 and 11, when the IDF reported firing warning shots at Palestinians who entered the Netzarim Corridor—clearly marked as a closed military zone—during restricted overnight hours. Palestinian officials claim that 45 people were killed over the two days, though those numbers remain unverified and were sourced from hospitals that Israel says are influenced by Hamas. GHF, which continues to operate under Israeli coordination to ensure aid reaches civilians and not terrorists, said it delivered a record 2.5 million meals that day despite the volatile environment. Israel has reiterated that its troops act to protect both civilians and humanitarian workers in a war zone routinely exploited by Hamas. Also on June 11, Hamas terrorists allegedly attacked a GHF bus near Khan Younis in southern Gaza, killing at least five local staffers and injuring others, with some possibly taken hostage, according to a GHF statement. The organization condemned the attack as part of a pattern of threats from Hamas and vowed to continue delivering aid to Palestinian civilians despite the violence. Is aid still being delivered by other organizations? Yes, aid is still being delivered by the United Nations and other international NGOs into Gaza through Israel’s Kerem Shalom crossing and other channels, though significant challenges persist. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation was always understood to have a parallel UN component. Kerem Shalom remains a key entry point, with over 1,459 trucks reaching it between May 19, when Israel resumed aid deliveries, and June 11. However, a range of obstacles still limits the food being received by Gazans, including looting, damaged infrastructure, limited fuel, and security threats. The aid is primarily managed by UN agencies like the World Food Programme, international NGOs, and local Palestinian civil society groups, but Hamas’s interference, through taxing, seizing, or blocking aid, continues to complicate distribution. On the Israeli side, COGAT oversees the logistics and inspections that control aid flow into Gaza, ensuring security and coordination. How has Hamas weaponized humanitarian aid to fight Israel? Hamas systematically manipulates humanitarian aid to generate revenue that fuels its political and military control over Gaza and supports its war against Israel. By taxing, seizing, and diverting aid goods, Hamas has funneled significant portions of humanitarian resources into its war chest. According to Israeli estimates, since the October 2023 terror attack, Hamas has received nearly a billion dollars through both direct and indirect channels—including from its exploitation of aid—which has allowed it to sustain its war machine, pay operatives’ salaries throughout the conflict, and recruit replacements for those killed in combat. Before the war, Hamas amassed an estimated $500 million stockpile, much of it held in Turkey, and received $15 million per month from Qatar, while also exploiting Gaza’s economy by taxing merchants, looting banks, and reselling humanitarian aid, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Since October 2023, the report said that Hamas funneled nearly $1 billion through direct and indirect means to sustain its war effort, including paying rank-and-file fighters $200–$300 a month. However, when Israel temporarily suspended humanitarian aid following Hamas’ refusal to renew the hostage and ceasefire deal in March 2025, Hamas struggled to pay its political and military officials as it lost its ability to tax merchants, collect customs on trucks at checkpoints, and commandeer goods for resale. By controlling the flow of aid into Gaza, Hamas blocks or diverts supplies that are not under its direct oversight, often imposing heavy “taxes” or fees on aid shipments. This siphoning of resources weakens the effectiveness of humanitarian efforts and funnels critical supplies away from civilians in need. Additionally, Hamas uses violence and intimidation to prevent Palestinians from accessing aid provided by outside groups like the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Civilians attempting to receive aid not controlled by Hamas face threats, harassment, and even gunfire from Hamas terror operatives.

Don't be an unforgiving butt hole, but make something happen. You know be your best self ever! In the end we all win so don't make losers out of yourself! Take it from me, with the soap bubble around me, you think I was already dead.

Don't take my word for it, go talk to Fish and Chips. They know everything.

If America gets interesting the Chinese are soon to follow.

LOOK WHAT I STARTED!

How to read the NEW YORK TIMES!

The democrats wanted lunacy and enforced sanity at the same time.

At long last Bill Hole climbed on top of Moose who actually smiled and took off into the woods where the creaking sounds were.

When she said loads of fun I heard tons and began to run, but with her magic fishing rod, I began to get pulled in, then end was here, my end is fear.

When people say Israel doesn't have the right to exist, it feels like they are saying I don't either, and that Hitler was right. So don't expect me to be cool with that.

I was proud of my country for voting for Donald Trump in a landslide victory, because I doubt that many countries could do that when faced with the democrats.

Evil delights more in ignorance than stupidity, and I have met all three.

You can not protect the majority by the social control of the minority. It is the minority that make the democracy a democracy, because there you find most of the individuals that offer the most to society.

If kids are brought into politics too quickly we could have ten year old's trying to rule the world some day.

In a democracy it's leaders can not call half the population which is everyone a deplorable.

God is a story teller.

Bill Hole was not ready for make up, he is a man, and this isn't funny. Did you really think the kit would fool him. He is married and happy, but not joyful. He knows which hole he likes, is also not private information either.

If waffling support over Isreal becomes the big thing for Dems, then what? Jews are not always taking the stage. Not all can juggle ten pins.

An asshole is just someone who can't speak correctly and wants to use the wrong hole.

The better world award is at least to remind people that it's not hopeless, and things can get done, the light can shine.

I am starting to feel more optimistic about politics today. The bitterness of it is being washed to the ocean and lost in the drops of salt water.

What does freedom mean to me? It is not just about complaining, but I have done some of that.

My prediction of the day: A moment of clarity is likely to happen if people just stop and breath more often.

For people who are 50 and older the internet has been a weird experience, but has that been discussed?

Do virtual spaces actually change? Perhaps less than most people believe or assume.
