Given that Bari Weiss has dedicated her entire adult life to anti-Palestinian racism, it seems notable that her tabloid is now tacking alongside public opinion shifts here
Israeli journalist @HavivRettigGur: After 22 months of false or misleading reports in Western media, Gaza is now actually approaching catastrophic levels of hunger. “We are very close to real, actual, desperate hunger in Gaza… It's hard to convince Israelis of that because literally everything said to them for 22 months on this topic has been a fiction… We need to wake them up.”

This is that second screenshot btw, which features the Free Press and Matt Yglesias pretending that famine is a thing that happens very suddenly and not after a protracted absence of food
David Grossman @davidgross... 57m It's funny, in a sad way, that the take of the so-called wonks, the process guys, the numbers guys, is there mass starvation happened out of the blue this implies that the dire situation in gaza happened overnight, as opposed to being the final chapter in a series of escalating horrors by the state of israel. not just callous, completely implausible Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias Follow I would recommend this from @HavivRettigGur and @TheFP to skeptics. There has been some crying of "wolf" that has unfortunately poisoned the waters to an extent, but the wolves are now in fact here. @TheFP 2d The Free Press Israeli journalist @HavivRettigGur: After 22 months of false or misleading reports in Western media, Gaza is now actually approaching catastrophic levels of hunger. 69 50 240 65K &

Hamas did not. The group’s statement condemned him as a collaborator and said he met the “inevitable fate of anyone who betrays his people and his homeland and accepts being a tool in the hands of the occupying power,” describing it as the natural outcome of his actions, not an operation they conducted. ⭕️ The Free Press also claims Hamas “killed every dissident, and everyone who criticized them on social media,” after the October ceasefire. That’s a myth that has long circulated in pro-Israel circles, usually without sourcing. The killings after the ceasefire were limited, not mass executions of critics. Most independent reporting, including Israeli media leaks, UN sources, and Gaza civil society accounts, points to roughly 25–40 people killed by Hamas security forces since the ceasefire in clashes or executions after sentencing. The people killed were overwhelmingly individuals accused of: • looting aid convoys • collaborating with the Israeli army • providing intelligence • armed criminal activity tied to Israeli-backed gangs Not people who merely criticized Hamas online. No credible outlet has reported executions for social-media criticism. One would see that immediately in UN reports, human-rights documentation, or Israeli press briefings. It does not exist. Notably, the World Food Program reports looting of aid convoys has completely stopped since Hamas reasserted security control over the Strip. Over 95% of convoys were looted while Israeli-backed gangs and others roamed the streets before the ceasefire. “Nobody. There’s nobody who can govern Gaza.… There’s nobody who will do the work required to govern Gaza, which means pushing back on Hamas.” Israeli journalist @HavivRettigGur on the unique challenge facing Gaza’s future—and Israel’s wisest move in an impossible situation.

Interesting perspective. 89% of the oil Iran ships goes to China, so this isn't farfetched. Iran has also been a major buyer of Chinese weapons.

www.thefp.com/p/this-isnt-...
Haviv Rettig Gur✔ @havivrettiggur America went to war in Iran because Iran made itself a Chinese weapon. I explain in detail in my piece in @TheFP. America didn't need to do this -- to invest so much political capital and military firepower -- just to shore up a second-run Israeli operation, nor is it reasonable to believe, as Secretary Rubio claimed, that it's all because of potential Iranian counter-strikes against US forces. Months of American buildup, America setting the timing and pulling the trigger on the operation, and the growing and increasingly dangerous strategic ties between Iran and China for America's ability to face down its chief adversary in the Pacific -- these are all evidence that this was an American decision, and that Israel is playing second fiddle this time around. There are now two wars underway in Iran, not one: The longstanding Israel-Iran war playing out on the regional chessboard, and the much larger US-China confrontation on the global chessboard. They overlap significantly in terms of the two nations' banks of targets in Iran -- but that overlap may not hold to the end. Two wars, not one. If you can only see one of them, you'll misunderstand what's happening now and what happens next. This Isn't Israel's War. It's America's.

Funny take by @shanymor.bsky.social on the @genocidescholars.bsky.social Vote:
x.com/ShMMor/statu...
twitter screenshot by posts from shany mor, newest at the top Shany Mor שני מור شني مور’s posts 2h Replying to @havivrettiggur Every single lie I reference there was a banner headline on the Guardian. Most also prominently featured on the BBC and NY Times. Shany Mor שני מור شني مور reposted Shany Mor שני מור شني مور @ShMMor · 18h Replying to @abubunni I'm pretty sure these scholars are dying at a rate of 2 per 10,000 per day. I mean, I have no numbers to back that up, but the whole point is to warn before it happens, not wait until it's too late! Shany Mor שני מור شني مور @ShMMor · 19h Of all the members of the Int'l Assoc of Genocide Studies, only 17% appear on a list of genocide scholars, according to leaked intelligence. So that means 83% are innocent civilians, and these include more journalists than in all of WWII, and 14,000 of them will die in 48 hours. Shany Mor שני מור شني مور reposted Shany Mor שני מור شني مور @ShMMor · 23h Replying to @EFischberger Genocide Studies has indeed been destroyed, but I think the bad scholarship, conceptual gerrymandering, and barely concealed religious inquisition it performed over the last two years was more harmful than the open membership model.

Some have a different take.
1. Trump caved. The early-May naval attempt to break the closure of Hormuz -- Project Freedom -- could have worked. He didn't give it a chance.
4. Israelis owe the US a vast and abiding debt of gratitude for what it has done to Iran's missile and nuclear programs.
@havivrettiggur Everyone will have their take on the deal. Mine is kinda what you'd expect. 1. Trump caved. The early-May naval attempt to break the closure of Hormuz -- Project Freedom -- could have worked. He didn't give it a chance. 2. He may nevertheless have done the right thing from an American perspective. On the larger chessboard, the one where America is curtailing Chinese lines of influence and supply on all fronts, he's gotten everything he needs. Iran's nuclear program is also set back dramatically. And worrying about gas prices come November is an extremely valid concern for an American president. As I argued back in February, the US and Israel weren't fighting the same war. Roughly 80% of each side's war overlapped with the other's. But toward the end, their interests would diverge and America would bow out. And so it was. 3. Israel remains in the region, Hezbollah remains ensconced in Lebanon and committed to murdering us all, Iran remains the same muqawama regime it always was, committed to mass-murder and mass-sacrifice of its own people. The decades-long war between the muqawama ideology and the Jews of Israel continues. 4. Israelis owe the United States a vast and abiding debt of gratitude for what it has done to Iran's missile and nuclear programs. That this finished on America's timetable rather than ours, that it was doing it for its own interests and not ours, these don't diminish the fact that we received from America more than we had a right to ask for. 5. And still, #3 remains true. We fight on. Because that regime is undeterrable, actually wants to destroy us all, and like the Nasserist ideology that once sent army after army at us to destroy us, will require a few more wars and perhaps another decade or two to defeat completely. 6. The new IRGC military dictatorship now in charge in Iran is built to survive catastrophe. But not to govern, reform or build anything of value. Some commentators on the deal have suggested that the most damaging thing you could do to the Iranian regime at this point is send it back to its embittered people to try to govern the peace. I think they might be onto something. It'd be a much safer and happier and more peaceful region if the regime falls from within and a new and better day dawns for the long-suffering people of Iran.

Conversation Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib Gaza received more per‑capita aid and development funding than any conflict zone on earth for nearly twenty years; yet vast NGO and charity networks ultimately helped Hamas entrench its rule, culminating in the October 7 disaster. I explain how this system took shape, how it enabled Hamas and why the pro‑Palestine and NGO industrial complexes ended up harming Gazans rather than serving them.
