A whole Palestinian family mowed down in March barely broke through most Hebrew-language media. Israelis tend to lock their hearts and their screens to daily attacks on Palestinians by settlers or the army, whether they involve sexual assault or the 68-to-one ratio of Palestinian to Israeli deaths in t…

🇺🇸 The U.S. has effectively lost the war against Iran. Trump ordered a halt to new strikes despite previously approving a "Gates of Hell" attack, and the Pentagon is pressuring him to end the war due to exhausted missile stockpiles, fuel shortages, and the alienation of Gulf allies.

The U.S. has lost the war. By adopting such…

View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
