Massie's explanation for his sunken popularity with the voters of his own party and his own district is that overwhelming spending from pro-Israel billionaires beat him. Wouldn't he have won if not for them? The mismatch between Massie's priorities and those of the typical Republican primary voter suggest not.

Trump joked that he could run for Israeli prime minister after claiming he enjoys 99%' support in Israel. The US president was speaking to reporters about the war on Iran, where he also said Netanyahu would do everything I want him to do'.

Israel has announced that it will sue The New York Times and reporter Nicholas Kristof over a recent article called “The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians,” which documents systemic sexual abuse by Israeli soldiers and settlers. In a social media post on May 14, Israel's foreign ministry stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar “have instructed the initiation of a defamation lawsuit” against The New York Times. The post decried the article, published on Monday, as “one of the most hideous and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel in the modern press.”

Before leaving for a state visit to China on Tuesday, Trump was asked if Americans' financial situations were motivating him to reach a deal with Iran. He replied, Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all. That's the only thing that motivates me.

Israel has deported two foreign activists who had been abducted from a Gaza-bound flotilla in international waters, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says. Saif Abu Keshek, a Spanish national of Palestinian origin, and Brazilian Thiago Avila were among dozens of activists sailing with the flotilla when it was intercepted by the Israeli navy off the coast of the Greek island of Crete on April 30.

On April 25, Israeli protesters marched to the Hungarian Embassy in Tel Aviv, carrying Hungarian flags and chanting slogans against the extreme right-wing government led by Netanyahu.

Abdullah Albadri, 34, had only arrived in the UK in a small boat from France 16 days before the attempted attack on 28 April 2025. He was arrested trying to scale the railings of the heavily-guarded embassy, and asked the armed diplomatic protection officers who detained him, 'Why are you stopping me from making crimes?'

I cannot shake the hand of someone the Israelis have brought to whitewash their fascism and genocide! We are suffering. Israel has denied committing genocide in Gaza.

"I do not see art as a tool for confrontation or exclusion. I believe art is a medium of hope and openness. It is a place where humanity can meet itself, even in its complexity and contradictions."

Mathias Döpfner stated, 'nobody should work for Axel Springer despite the essentials or in disagreement with one of the essentials.' He suggested that those who disagree should seek other opportunities.

The government of Israel's social media account promoted an event called Pride Land, 'the biggest LGBTQ+ festival ever in the Middle East.' As might be expected, the right flipped out.
