Ansarallah's forces have just carried out one of their most important military offensives in recent years, breaking through the positions supported by Saudi Arabia along the western coast of Yemen and taking over territory that had not been able to be held despite Riyadh's airstrikes. The extent of their gains is not merely symbolic since they are now altering the control of the Bab al-Mandab corridor, the narrow passage which determines who has control of the Red Sea.
Western Coast: Collapse of Saudi‑Backed Forces
The reports from Al-Mayadeen and the Greanville Post regarding the pro-Saudi units show that they quickly and almost immediately collapsed from Hays to Al-Khokha and then to Al-Mokha, at the same time the Yemeni armed forces were able to take control of an estimated 2,550 square kilometres of coastal area.
The Saudi airstrikes failed to stop the advance since local Yemeni surface-to-air missiles caused the Saudi jets to withdraw from Taiz, thus allowing Ansarallah to have full control of the airspace over the main fronts.
Mocha Falls — Red Sea Leverage Shifts
The website Antiwar.com has confirmed that Mocha, the strategic port city close to the Bab al-Mandeb strait, is now in the control of Ansarallah. This brings them a step nearer to having control of the southern entrance to the Red Sea.
The leadership of Ansarallah maintains that navigation is safe with the exception of Saudi vessels and emphasizes that their forces are well-disciplined and not aiming at civilian shipping.
Saudi‑Backed Forces Retreat, Wounded Left Behind
Footage obtained at Mohammed bin Zayed Hospital in Al-Khokha depicts Saudi-backed fighters who were left behind during the withdrawal – this indicating how quickly their lines collapsed.
Taiz and Marib: Multi‑Front Pressure
While the western coast dominates headlines, Ansarallah is also pushing on other fronts:
* Taiz: The Yemeni forces are strengthening their control of the elevated areas and the supply routes connecting Taiz with Mocha, for it is from these positions that control of the inland-to-coast route is determined.
* In Marib, heavy artillery and drone swarms are being used to attack the government's defensive positions around the Balkh mountain range, which is the route to the Safer oil refinery—Yemen's last major hydrocarbon supply line that is under government control.
If Marib is lost, the internationally recognized government will lose its sole source of native revenue and Ansarallah will achieve complete energy self-sufficiency.
Saudi Airstrikes Intensify — But Fail to Reverse the Map
Saudi Arabia has carried out dozens of airstrikes—64 in 24 hours in the areas of Taiz, Hodeidah, Marib and al‑Jawf—using F‑15s manufactured in the United States and French Typhoons.
Yet Ansarallah is still moving forward, carrying out retaliatory strikes against Saudi military targets and repelling ground attacks in al-Jawf.
Why These Gains Matter
* By controlling Mocha and the western coast, Ansarallah is able to exert influence over shipping in the Red Sea.
* The progress made in Taiz blocked the supply lines that were supported by Saudi Arabia.
* The government's economic survival is at risk due to the pressure being exerted on Marib.
* Saudi airpower is proving less effective against Yemen’s new air defense systems.
Bottom Line
Ansarallah is gaining ground quickly and the forces supported by Saudi Arabia are having difficulty in holding on to any part of the western coast.
The power balance in the Red Sea is undergoing a change, and Yemen's military forces are in a position to determine the course of the next stage of the conflict.

Antisemitism is on the rise in Europe and the U.S., and the usual explanations — online extremism, economic anxiety, political polarization — don’t quite do it justice (although they do explain a lot of what is happening). The real reason is nastier: whenever Israeli government says that it represents all Jews and then commits mass killings in Gaza, Jewish identity comes into the aftermath of its violence. That connection isn’t in there by default; it has been created by the state itself.
The Israeli government keeps saying it is ‘the nation-state of the Jewish people’ and not just its own citizens. This way of putting it isn’t symbolic only; it’s used to justify military action, diplomatic pressure and international communications too. When Israeli tanks enter Gaza with the Star of David on their armour the world knows — directly or indirectly — that this is being done on behalf of Jews everywhere. When bombings level whole neighbourhoods the government says it is doing so in the name of Jewish safety. The symbol thus acts as political branding.
News outlets like Al Jazeera and Middle East Eye have shown how Israeli authorities use this claim of Jewish identity to justify their attack on Gaza. Israeli newspaper Haaretz has published several warnings by Israeli scholars about the danger of linking Jewish identity with state violence (a danger not only for Palestinians but Jews around the world too). Israel’s leadership “exploits Jewish identity in order to protect itself from being held accountable” says Israeli sociologist Eva Illouz — criticism of government policy becomes allegations of antisemitism. This may help the government, but ordinary Jews are left unprotected.
The effects are clear. Human rights organisations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have said that Gaza is being bombed on a massive scale killing civilians, infrastructure being intentionally destroyed and forced displacement taking place. The anger and sorrow of the global public is then directed in the wrong direction — Jewish students, Jewish families and Jewish communities (who have nothing to do with Israeli policy) end up bearing the brunt of the criticism.
That is why the silence of Jewish leadership in Britain matters. If Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis really wanted to combat antisemitism he should have said publicly that Jewish identity has nothing to do with Israel’s military operations and that Jews as a whole don’t support bombing Gaza or violence in the West Bank; that Israel is not a religion (it’s a country) and its government doesn’t speak for all Jews. But he hasn’t — instead he has taken the Israeli government line and insisted that criticism of Israel is inherently dangerous for Jews because it attacks state power — which serves the state not the community.
Middle East Eye reports that a number of Jewish organisations in the UK (Na’amod and Jewish Voice for Peace) have asked mainstream leadership to sever this link because failing to condemn Israeli atrocities leaves Jewish communities open to more hostility. Their logic is simple enough: if leaders don’t say “Israel does not represent us” then people will continue to think Israel acts on Jewish will.
Mark Etkind (whose father was a Holocaust survivor) is saying what many are afraid to say: the fact that Israel insists on acting ‘for all Jews’ is antisemitism. Jewish leaders don’t challenge this assertion because then people think the decisions of a government determine the identity of an entire people and leave Jewish communities with the consequences of a war which they did not want.
To break this cycle one has to be honest. Leaders have to say very clearly that Jewish identity is not the same as Israeli policy and Israeli policy is not identical to Jewish identity. They have to reject the idea that a government can speak on behalf of millions of people who never agreed to its actions. So long as this distinction isn’t made public and often enough antisemitism will keep growing — not because Jews are who they are but because what a state claims to be doing in their name.
The Star of David belongs to a people not a government and it cannot be painted on weapons which are used to destroy families in Gaza.

Reviewing the findings of recent Quincy Institute research report of the obscene money being spent by Israel on Hasbara
“Eighth Front”: Israel’s Dark War on Truth
In Florida in late 2025, Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Evangelical leaders and introduced what he referred to as the “eighth front”. This was not a front involving tanks or missiles—rather it was the struggle for Western minds. His analogy was significant in that he admitted the Israeli propaganda machine resembled a “Polish cavalry” charging against an “F‑35”. The remedy, he said, was a blitz costing one billion dollars in order to take control of the digital and spiritual infrastructure of America.
What this is not is diplomacy; it is instead psychological warfare.
Buying Influence, Not Earning It
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has spent more than one billion dollars on hasbara — that is, state-funded propaganda. The amount suggested for the 2026 budget alone is $750 million, which is greater than any previous allocations. What is taking place is not ‘public diplomacy’; it is the industrialisation of manipulation.
For many years Israel has used American intermediaries such as AIPAC and CUFI in order to avoid making FARA disclosures. Nowadays, since public opinion has collapsed, this disguise has been removed and Israel is now hiring agents who are registered with FARA, becoming the biggest spender under the law. The people they are aiming at are clear:
Among young Americans, sympathy has clearly shifted in favour of the Palestinians.
The conservatives are becoming more hostile towards being involved in foreign affairs.
The evangelical group, which used to be a solid base of support, is now split apart by generational divisions.
Gaming Influence With Ai
The most terrifying method involves deliberately poisoning AI chatbots; Israel paid Brad Parscale’s company Clock Tower X, at a cost of $46.5 million, to insert propaganda into the Large Language Models.
Websites such as that of Paxpoint.org and Thetruthaboutiran.org are not designed with humans in mind but with machines in mind—they are constructed so that they can be scraped by AI in order that the “facts” provided to users may be state-funded lies. What is taking place here is not persuasion; it is algorithmic brainwashing.
Havas: The Corrupt Middleman
Havas Media, a French company with a record of corruption scandals, is at the centre of the operation: it has received over $100 million and uses American subcontractors to launder Israeli propaganda.
• Bridges Partners – a company that provides influencers.
• Piro Inc. provides content in the style of Hollywood to glamorise war—demonstrate one’s faith through action by using Bible-themed propaganda to appeal to the religious right.
What this is not is outreach; it is the misuse of faith and culture.
Surveilling the Sanctuary
The “Show Faith by Works” campaign even suggested using geofencing for megachurches—this would involve tracking the phones of people who were praying so that ads could be bombarded onto them. Following the negative reaction, the campaign changed direction and moved on to offering “soft power” Bible studies and traveling propaganda exhibitions. Its objective is still the same: to rewire American Christianity so that it becomes a tool of Israeli policy.
Influencer Paydays
As part of ‘Project Esther’ and ‘Project 545’, Israel pays lifestyle influencers as much as $7,000 for each post in order to get its propaganda incorporated into your feed. Many of these posts do not include FARA disclosures and therefore trick your audience into thinking that they are ‘organic’. Eurovision was also used for this purpose, with $800,000 being spent to promote Eden Golan as a soft-power tool.
The trips taken by influencers are intentionally intended to radicalize – this involves emotional manipulation aimed at getting rid of complexity and reducing war to a simple “us versus them” scenario.
Failure and Decline of Hasbara
Even though a billion dollars has been spent, the campaign is failing. A Gallup survey from 2026 reveals that a greater number of Americans sympathize with the Palestinians (41%) than with the Israelis (36%) — a historic reversal. The fact remains that 70,000 people have died.
As the critic Yossi Sarid has said, hasbara is “the refuge of all failures”. The effort by Israel to obtain legitimacy only serves to increase suspicion. Stephen Walt of Harvard cautions that constant spin leads to distrust, and in fact the more Israel spends, the more hollow its message becomes.
Reflections
The idea of Israel’s “Eighth Front” has nothing to do with the truth; it is all about exerting control. It is a bid amounting to one billion dollars to manipulate algorithms, infiltrate churches, and take over influencers. Yet propaganda cannot conceal brutality. However great the AI manipulation or the money paid to influencers, the images of hospitals that have been bombed, children who are starving, and mass graves cannot be erased.
The lesson is clear: if the policy in question is indefensible, then propaganda ceases to act as a shield and instead functions as a mirror, showing off the darkness of the state that uses it.

There are moments when a society shows you exactly what it is. The killing of Palestinian prisoner Tha’er Abu Assab in Ketziot prison in November 2023 is one of those moments. A man beaten to death by Israeli prison guards while handcuffed, blindfolded, and trapped in a cell. A man whose ribs were shattered, whose heart muscle ruptured from the force of the blows. A man who died on the floor while the demons in charge laughed, bragged, and texted their friends about how “satisfied” they were.
Multiple outlets have confirmed the basic facts: the guards went into the cell during a count, beat the prisoners with fists, boots, and batons, kept going even after Abu Assab collapsed, delayed medical care, and then tried to coordinate their stories. Twelve guards were eventually indicted for reckless homicide, aggravated assault, and obstruction. But the ones who bragged the loudest — the ones who treated torture like a hobby — were never charged.
Haaretz’s investigation exposed the culture behind the killing. It showed the messages, the celebrations, the way guards talked about Palestinians as if they were objects to break. And nothing is more revealing than the WhatsApp messages of warden Oshrit Aliga, who was literally used as a poster figure for the Israeli Prison Service. She filmed herself doing combat workouts. She was showcased as a model officer. And she was bragging about a man’s death in real time.
On the night Tha’er Abu Assab was murdered, she texted a friend:
"Sweetie, here is an update for you, he's dead now."
"I’m very happy and satisfied, but it's a mess right now. There was a lot of blood and they broke them."
"It'll be fine, I'm glad it happened. I'm ready to put my career on the line for this, I'm at peace with it, all of us are. The commander knew something like this would happen. he told us in the briefing and also asked, whoever feels they can't handle it should say so, because he really wanted to break them. I'm really fine, but you know how it is, investigations and all that mess."
This wasn’t a rogue a guard carrying out exactly what her commander wanted. He told them in advance that something like this would happen. He told them to prepare themselves. He told them he wanted to “break them.” And she was proud to do it. Proud enough to text about it. Proud enough to say she was “at peace” with a man’s death.
And it didn’t stop there. More detainees arrived. More violence. More bragging.
In December 2023, she wrote:
"They brought some Amalek-son w****s down in the middle of the street, sitting there on the ground with just underwear and blindfolds on. I'm already getting myself and the shift ready to receive them for Shabbat, we will give them a proper Shabbat reception."
Her friend joked about her baton. She answered:
"My club is fine, after a fair number of disinfections."
Then the sick depraved demon fantasized about torture like it was a shared pastime:
"Imagine me and you in a cell with two prisoners cuffed hand to hand, and the shift commander tells us 'go ahead, cut loose', sweetie, I swear you'd have enjoyed it here with me."
Her friend asked if she physically hits them. She didn’t hesitate:
"I wish I had a way to prove it to you, to show you something, I swear to you, sis, I break them apart. You've never known me like this. [This is] routine. [When the] next round comes, if I haven't cracked one of his kidneys, as far as I'm concerned I'm not going into the wing."
This is someone who was celebrated by the Israeli Prison Service. Promoted. Showcased. Treated like a model officer. And she was bragging about cracking kidneys as a personal standard.

Then came the messages with her domestic partner, corrections officer Tamer Trudi:
"We got another 70 w****s from October 7th. Each one of course got a personal welcome, and some got a joint one because of the [limited] supply of handcuffs."
Trudi replied:
"Haha, how nice that there's always a welcome."
She answered:
"And since we were already tired from hitting them, the commander took off his belt and undid it on them. And the screaming, like females — at minimum they're a punching bag."
This is what these demons do. This is how they talk. This is how they think. This is what they enjoy. This is what the system rewards.
Other outlets confirm the same pattern: the commander ordered the assault, the guards carried it out, Abu Assab died from cardiac rupture and broken ribs, and the prison staff tried to cover it up. The indictments barely scratch the surface. The culture of brutality is bigger than any single case. It’s a system that dehumanizes Palestinians until their suffering becomes entertainment.
Tha’er Abu Assab died with his ribs broken, his heart muscle torn, his body destroyed by people who laughed about it afterward. And the society that produced them — the one that calls Palestinians “Amalek,” “animals,” “w****s,” “punching bags” — keeps pretending it’s civilized.
This is what a sick, rotten, demonic society looks like when the mask falls off. This is what Palestinians are subjected to every damn day.
The world isn't sick or angry enough.

If you think the fight over habeas corpus is some distant legal argument happening in Washington, you’re wrong. It’s been creeping forward for years, and now it’s brushing right up against ordinary people’s lives. It’s a pattern that started in 2020 and has kept resurfacing, getting louder each time.
Back in 2020, during Trump’s first term, internal memos showed that some of his advisers were floating the idea of suspending habeas corpus to speed up immigration detentions and deportations. It wasn’t public policy, but it was being talked about behind closed doors. The idea was extreme, and even inside the administration, people were warning that it crossed a constitutional line. But the fact that it was even being discussed was a red flag.
Fast‑forward to 2025. Trump is back in office, and suddenly the courts are flooded with habeas petitions. Thousands of people detained under new enforcement policies were filing them because it was the only legal tool left to challenge their detention. Bond was harder to get. Detention was easier to justify. Habeas corpus became the last lifeline for anyone trying to push back against being held indefinitely. It wasn’t suspended, but the pressure around it was unmistakable.
In 2026, journalists uncovered another internal memo showing that the idea of suspending habeas corpus had come up again. Not as a public announcement, not as a formal policy, but as something being “considered” inside the administration. Some aides were warning it would be a political disaster. Others were arguing it would give the government more power to hold people without court interference. The memo didn’t say it was happening tomorrow, but it made one thing clear: the idea is not dead. It keeps coming back.
This isn’t a one‑time conversation. It’s a recurring theme. Every time there’s a push for harsher detention policies, the idea of weakening or bypassing habeas corpus shows up again. It’s like a pressure valve they keep eyeing, wondering if they can get away with turning it.
Americans need to understand what that means. Habeas corpus is the right to challenge unlawful detention. It’s one of the oldest protections in the Constitution. If a president suspends it, even temporarily, the government can hold people without having to justify it to a judge. That’s not something that stays limited to one group.
It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter what color you are—whether you’re brown, white, or black. It doesn’t matter if you’re Republican or Democrat, left or right, communist, socialist, or capitalist—it applies to everyone. Once the power exists, it can expand. History has already shown that.
So yes, this is coming to your doorstep. Not because it’s happening today, but because the idea keeps resurfacing, getting tested, getting normalized. It’s been on the table since 2020, and it’s still being talked about in 2026. People need to pay attention before it becomes something you can’t undo.

A new Israeli military exercise on the Jordanian border is being used as fresh evidence in a larger argument about regional strategy, missile defense, and why Jordan matters far more than most people realize. If you want a fast, provocative geopolitical take on the latest developments around Israel, Jordan, Iran, and the Red Sea corridor, this episode makes the case in blunt terms.
Dan Cyrus connects a map-based theory of the region to a breaking military announcement from the Israeli army, arguing that the timing and location of the drill are not random. He frames Jordan as a critical buffer, or “dam,” in the security architecture around Israel, and claims that any shift in Jordan’s stability would have immediate consequences for the entire region.You’ll hear:
* Why Jordan is described as a protection wall in the conflict
* How missile routes, airspace, and interceptors shape the argument
* What the Israeli army says about its new Eilat and Arava Valley drill
* Why this exercise is presented as a response to surprise attack scenarios
* How Dan Cyrus interprets the broader implications for Jordan, Israel, and Iran
This is analysis ties together geography, military readiness, and regional power dynamics. Whether you agree with the premise or just want to understand the argument being made, the episode offers a sharp, controversial lens on one of the Middle East’s most sensitive fault lines.
Essential listening if you follow Middle East conflict analysis, regional security, or the unfolding Iran-Israel-Jordan dynamic.

At MetLife Stadium, Macklemore opened for Ed Sheeran wearing a keffiyeh and performed “Hind’s Hall” while Gaza footage played behind him. He told the crowd of 80,000 that he wanted people in Gaza and the West Bank to know they haven’t been forgotten.
He said every person deserves the same basic freedom — to feel safety and peace before ever hearing violence.
He called ICE a “terrorist organization” and shouted “Free Palestine, free Cuba, Congo, Sudan and Iran.”
The Israeli-American Council has since pushed to get him removed from the remaining tour dates. 😂😂😂

Sama isn’t just one prisoner. She’s one of four Birzeit University students Israel grabbed that same night — Joulan Abu Awwad, Natalie Abu Diya, and Leila Nael Khalil. All four of them were taken before dawn, all four accused of “belonging to a student group,” because Israel doesn’t need real charges to disappear Palestinians. They threw them into Damon Prison, the place where they keep most Palestinian women they cage.
Damon has gotten even worse — there’s a scabies outbreak, at least ten women infected because the place is filthy and neglected. Sama also has Familial Mediterranean Fever — a disease that can cause organ failure if she doesn’t get her medication. Doctors warn she’s at risk of life‑threatening organ damage. Her condition has gotten worse in custody. She was briefly released for medical reasons, then thrown right back in on August 16, and since then she hasn’t been given her daily medication or seen medical staff.
Members of Congress like Chris Van Hollen and Rashida Tlaib have already called for her release, and now more than forty members of Congress plus six senators have demanded the State Department intervene. Her aunt, Leila Farsakh, has been speaking publicly, using Sama’s American passport to push pressure wherever she can. Sama represents other Palestinian student prisoners — her freedom is tied to theirs.
Before sunrise on June 2, soldiers smashed into the Safi family’s home in Ramallah. No warning. No explanation. Just the usual occupation terrorist routine: doors kicked in, rifles everywhere, shouting, chaos. Sama was asleep. She didn’t even get a chance to understand what was happening before strangers with guns were in her room, dragging her out of her bed like she was some kind of target they’d been waiting to grab.
Her family couldn’t do anything. You know how it goes in the West Bank — you don’t “argue” with soldiers. You don’t “ask questions.” You stand there and watch them take your daughter because the alternative is getting shot. Sama was hauled out of the house and shoved into a military vehicle. No charges. No explanation. Nothing.
Since then, she’s been swallowed by Israel’s detention system — the same system Palestinians have been warning the world about for decades. The same system the US government knows damn well is built on torture. She’s likely in one of the interrogation centers where they keep women in filthy rooms, subjected to the heat until people pass out, starve them, deny water, strip them, threaten them, sexually assault them, and break them down until they’re barely functioning.
And now we have even more details — documented by lawmakers themselves — about what she’s been subjected to: shackling and blindfolding, denial of food and water for the first 24 hours, stun grenades and gas canisters used in poorly ventilated cells, forced stress positions that caused severe chest pain, exposure to infectious skin disease, rat‑infested mattresses.

Women who come out of these places talk about rape. They talk about being kept in rooms so hot they hallucinate. They talk about guards who treat them like objects. They talk about being denied sleep for days. They talk about being left hungry, dizzy, sick, terrified. They talk about being screamed at for hours, shoved, slapped, tied, humiliated. Nothing about this has changed. It’s a system of torture Israel has perfected.
Israel doesn’t need charges. Evidence is non-existent. They certainly don’t need a farce trial. They can hold her indefinitely under “administrative detention,” which is just a sanitized phrase for “we can disappear you whenever we want.” And now they’re claiming she was connected to some student activism group — al‑Qutub — which they try to link to the PFLP. Her lawyer already said whatever “evidence” they’re waving around was likely extorted under pressure, and involvement in al‑Qutub isn’t even illegal.
And the United States — her country — has done absolutely s**t for her.
The State Department is silent.
The White House is silent.
Congress is mostly silent, except for the few who actually give a damn. Even after embassy staff visited her twice — twice — and reported the conditions she’s in, nothing has changed. No intervention. No demands. No consequences.
They can’t shut up when an American is detained in Russia, China, Iran — but when it’s Israel? Suddenly they lose their voice. Suddenly they forget what “protecting American citizens” means. Suddenly they pretend they don’t see what’s happening.
And the US media? Barely a whisper. No headlines. No coverage. No interviews with her family. No investigative digging. Nothing. They’ve practically erased her. Because she’s Palestinian. Because Israel is the one holding her. Because American media is ran by a bunch of Zioshits.
So here we are:
A 20‑year‑old American woman is being held in a system known for torture, starvation, sexual violence, and psychological destruction — and her own government won’t lift a finger. The country that loves to brag about “protecting its citizens abroad” won’t even say her name.
