Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced the government’s decision to terminate Al Jazeera’s operations in Israel, citing the Qatari-owned network as a provocateur of “incitement.” The closure was unanimously agreed upon by the cabinet. Reacting strongly, Al Jazeera labeled the Israeli government’s action as “criminal.”
The restrictions also extend to foreign journalists, notably barring them from entering Gaza, leaving Al Jazeera’s personnel among the few reporters present on the ground. This decision has been informed by longstanding accusations from Israeli authorities of the network’s alleged anti-Israel bias. The criticism has escalated following the deadly Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023.
The Israeli government has escalated its measures against Al Jazeera by raiding its offices and halting its broadcast amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza today. Describing the network as a vehicle for Hamas propaganda, Israel’s actions culminated on Sunday when police stormed Al Jazeera’s premises at the Ambassador hotel in Jerusalem. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi publicized the raid with a video on X/Twitter, showcasing officers and inspectors seizing equipment from a hotel room.

It’s always nice when your political opponents make your arguments for you. And in the recent dustup over the $60 billion Ukraine subsidy bill — which in late April passed the House and Senate — that’s precisely what foreign policy hawks have done.
As many beltway wonks have observed, increasing debate in the United States over funding the two-year-old war in Ukraine — not to mention our myriad other military commitments around the globe — has led many U.S. allies to reconsider their own defense spending.
In other words, just the fact that there is no longer a consensus about America’s “policeman of the world” post-Cold War security strategy among the American people and their representatives is persuading our allies to meet the various military commitments we have been demanding of them since Ronald Reagan was president. That should be designated a strategic win, but, as interpreted by our blinkered foreign policy establishment — who have unswervingly endorsed the growing number of U.S. military disasters this century — it is somehow a loss.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced tactical nuclear weapons drills in response to “belligerent statements” made by Western leaders threatening to put troops on the ground in Ukraine.
“During the exercises, a set of measures will be carried out to practice the issues of preparation and use of non-strategic nuclear weapons,” Russia’s defense ministry said Monday.

The pro-Hamas encampment at George Washington University in DC has been in full, hideous swing for days. City officials refused to allow the police to help the school clear the encampment, despite an explicit request from GW to do so, citing bad ‘optics.’ Since then, the mob overran officers and barricades to expand their “encampment,” completely covered a Washington statue with Palestinian garb and other desecrations, booed and jeered when an American flag was unfurled overlooking their terrorism-supporting ‘protest,’ then projected a ‘Genocide Joe’ message over the flag. What patriotic frat boys on various campuses seem to instinctively understand is that these people aren’t just anti-Israel; they overwhelmingly hate America, too. That’s what drives so much of the dirtbag left. These people despise Western civilization, and they’re deeply radical at heart….
What might DC officials think of these “optics”? They generally coddle criminals, so it’s unclear if they’re offended by any of this. Meanwhile, scenes at MIT:

Two days ago, the @AP live-streamed antisemitic protests at the MIT pro-Hamas encampment.
In this clip, the Arabic chant says (twice) “Min el-maiyeh lel mayieh, almawt lilsahayina”.

They’re literally chanting for death, in English and Arabic, on US soil. I’ll leave you with thoughts from the leader of the University of Florida, who has handled this correctly from the start:
“I think the line is between speech and action.”

DC Metropolitan Police Department said that it would not help clear the Gaza camp set up by students and activists at George Washington University (GWU).
Metropolitan Police Department Chief of Police Pamela Smith said on Thursday, “I think here in the District of Columbia, we allow people the opportunity to have freedom of speech, and that’s what we’re seeing right now. There has been no violence, no violent behavior, no confrontations,” according to The Hill.
“If the behavior changes, then our procedures and our process might change.”

A Washington federal appeals court questioned the Justice Department’s claim that a five-year sentence for a Florida man who participated in the Capitol riot would be unchanged even if the lower court applied the wrong sentencing guideline.
The three-judge panel for the US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit considered arguments on Monday by Tristan Stevens that his convictions shouldn’t be classified as an “aggravated assault.” That classification triggered a longer prison sentence for assaulting an officer and other misconduct during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.

Pro-Hamas protests are still ongoing and some students are learning that “standing up for something you believe in” has a cost, as their entitled reality is crumbling around them. Today’s show breaks it down.
While some colleges are allowing brats to continue blocking Jewish students from class, and have even canceled graduation ceremonies because administrators are that pathetic, other university officials are holding these students accountable.
