Why is the phone on Trump's lap? Very weird optics.
To make the point that Trump's in control and is top dog, osit. He's giving BB a bite - a humiliating reprimand.
Or, it's just more theatre.
Why is the phone on Trump's lap? Very weird optics.
Seems more humiliating for Trump to be Bibi's telephone stand. Which seems more in line with the current power dynamics between the two.To make the point that Trump's in control and is top dog, osit. He's giving BB a bite - a humiliating reprimand.
Just optics, days ago Netanyahu mentioned that he does not control Trump -one wonders why he need to says soAnybody buying this - Trump's got something on BB? Has he gotten the upper hand?

In a meeting dedicated to harnessing pro-Israel media energy on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alluded to a cohort of Israel’s influencers. “We have to fight back. How do we fight back? Our influencers. I think you should also talk to them if you have a chance, to that community, they are very important.”
Being paid by Israel to post on social media is also very lucrative. According to previously unreported recent documents, these influencers are likely being paid around $7,000 per post on social media such as Tik Tok and Instagram on behalf of Israel.
Bridges Partners, a firm working for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sent a series of invoices for its “Influencer Campaign” to Havas Media Group Germany, an international media group working for Israel. The invoices detailed a sum of $900,000, starting in June and slated to end in November, for a cohort of 14-18 influencers to create content.

The firm, which lists its business address in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington D.C., has also enlisted the help of a former major in the IDF spokesperson unit, Nadav Shtrauchler. For legal counsel, Levi and Steinberg have turned to Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, a firm that previously worked for controversial Israeli spyware company NSO Group.

What a load of sh*t! This is completely outrageous! And yes, that's Satan's doppleganger on the bottom right. His face just exudes evil. And how convenient this is taking place simultaneously with the shutdown of our government! Let's watch that fiasco play out and not realize what's being done to Gaza right under our noses!Jimmy and The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal discuss Donald Trump’s announcement of a so-called “Board of Peace,” which critics argue is a neocolonial plan to control Gaza under the guise of a peace authority. They rate the proposal, involving Trump as figurehead and Tony Blair as deputy, as a cover for Israel to continue ethnic cleansing while multinational corporations, Gulf billionaires, and tech elites profit.
Blumenthal warns this plan echoes colonial mandates, with biometric surveillance, forced displacement, and Gaza transformed into a corporate “Riviera” while Palestinians are excluded from decision-making. The conversation also highlights growing resistance in Gaza, U.S. complicity in Israeli policy, MAGA’s generational split on Israel, and the bipartisan political establishment’s loyalty to Netanyahu despite shifting public opinion.
Doug argues that despite President Trump’s claims of having ended wars (and his push for a Nobel), evidence shows the U.S. appears to be re-arming and positioning forces for renewed conflict in the Middle East. Key points:
The Trump 21-point “peace plan” for Israel–Hamas is described as effectively dead on arrival because what Netanyahu accepted differs significantly from what was proposed, making an actual peace settlement unlikely.
With the plan failing, Israeli leadership may prepare for a new phase of intense military action in Gaza — including massive bombing campaigns — potentially increasing civilian casualties dramatically.
U.S. military assets are reportedly moving toward the region (tanker/air refuelers, large gravity bombs, older Tomahawk cruise missiles), which the guests interpret as preparation for possible strikes and a sign the U.S. is conserving high-end missile inventory.
There are signs of high-level coordination: recent meetings between Netanyahu and Trump, and a gathering of senior U.S. generals, are read as aligning assets and plans.
The discussion raises the prospect that Israel could open a wider front against Iran to distract from Gaza; Iran has warned it would retaliate against both Israel and U.S. targets if attacked.
Analysts caution that Iranian integrated air defenses have improved but are not at full effectiveness, which some see as an incentive to strike sooner rather than later.
The guests doubt that decapitating Iran’s leadership would collapse the regime and warn that Iranian society may be more cohesive and resilient than U.S./Israeli planners assume.
Political dynamics matter: U.S. public opinion and congressional support are shifting, and Israel is reportedly investing in social-media influence to shore up support — factors that could affect timing and scope of future actions.
Overall tone: the episode warns that political rhetoric about “peace” is at odds with military preparations and that a renewed Israel–Iran conflict (with U.S. involvement or exposure) is a credible risk.
Game—Set—Match...Again.

According to Al Jazeera, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, announced missile attacks on Zionist settlements around Gaza.
The Quds Brigades announced in a statement, "We targeted the settlements of Muflasim and Kfar Saad around Gaza with missile attacks."
The statement said that this missile attack was in response to the crimes committed by the occupiers against the Palestinian people.
The Israeli media previously announced that sirens had been sounded in some Zionist settlements adjacent to the Gaza Strip, including Muflasim and Kfar Saad.
The Israeli Channel 12 reported that two missiles were intercepted in the sky over Gaza.
