Assassination of Hamas leader in Iran puts new president in a trap

Depending on how Pezeshkian responds, it may force the US to get directly involved in defense of Israel

Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, was assassinated in Tehran, widely believed by Israel. He was in Tehran to attend the ceremonies marking inauguration of Iran’s new President, Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian. The two men met before Haniyeh was killed.

As of this writing, Israel has not commented on the killing or the allegations that it was behind it.

In assassinating Haniyeh, Israel would have struck at two targets, not one. The second one is the new Pezeshkian administration. On the day the reformist President was taking office, a foreign leader and an ally of Iran is assassinated, and as the head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, he must address a security crisis with international dimensions and implications.

If Saeed Jalili, Pezeshkian’s opponent in the second round of Iran’s presidential elections, had won, given his radical and extremist positions, and his bombastic style, it would have helped Israel in its attempts to convince the international community that engaging Iran diplomatically will not be fruitful, and the country must be put under maximum pressure.

But Pezeshkian is a moderate, and although he has repeatedly condemned the United States for its support of Israel in its war in Gaza, for imposing harsh economic sanctions on Iran, and exiting the nuclear treaty with Iran known officially as JCPOA, he is also pragmatic in seeking a dialogue with the U.S. During his campaign, Pezeshkian stated repeatedly that he would pursue negotiations with the United States, a position apparently supported by the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in order to get the economic sanctions lifted.

Dialogue between Iran and the United States is, however, the last thing that Israel, and particularly Benjamin Netanyahu, wants at this stage. If anything, Netanyahu would expand the war to Lebanon in hopes that Iran will react strongly and enter the war directly. Neither Hezbollah nor Iran wants a war with Israel at this stage, but no one should be under the illusion that if Israel begins a full-scale war with Lebanon and Hezbollah, Iran will sit it out.

Unlike Hamas, a Sunni group that has had differences with Iran over the past twenty years, particularly when it refused to support Bashar al-Assad in Syria during the war there that angered Tehran, Hezbollah is a Shiite organization and Iran’s most important asset in the Middle East. If Israel starts waging a full-scale war against Lebanon, and the Islamic Republic does not intervene to defend Hezbollah, it will lose all credibility with its allies throughout the Middle East. Iran has already been criticized by the Houthis in Yemen for not defending Hamas in Gaza.

Since Iran has not shown any inclination towards starting a direct war with Israel, the next best scenario for Israel is to trap it in an untenable position. Assassinating the leader of an ally, particularly in Tehran in the evening of the day in which a new administration took the oath of office, is that trap. It has put President Pezeshkian and his allies in an extremely difficult situation.

MrBeast acknowledges 'inappropriate language' in past videos

MrBeast, YouTube's biggest star and a philanthropic force with nearly unrivalled influence among young audiences, acknowledged he used "inappropriate language" in his early online days, as numerous controversies bubble up around him and a former collaborator.

MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, and his reported US$700 million empire have come under new fire in recent weeks after accusations of past racist comments by Donaldson surfaced along with allegations that a longtime colleague made inappropriate sexual comments to minors.

"When Jimmy was a teenager he acted like many kids and used inappropriate language while trying to be funny," a spokesperson for the YouTuber said in a statement to The Associated Press.

"Over the years he has repeatedly apologised and has learned that increasing influence comes with increased responsibility to be more aware and more sensitive to the power of language. After making some bad jokes and other mistakes when he was younger, as an adult he has focused on engaging with the MrBeast community to work together on making a positive impact around the world."

His highly produced videos of whimsical challenges and lavish gifts, often accompanied by expressive thumbnails and punchy titles, have drawn a record 307 million Youtube subscribers.

His latest uploads include "Ages 1 - 100 Decide Who Wins $250,000" and "I Built 100 Houses And Gave Them Away!" which, like most of his videos, garnered more than 100 million views.

The philanthropic sector has received this content with a mix of praise for encouraging direct generosity and criticism of exploitative "inspiration porn." Donaldson's greater ambition made itself plain in recent years through the launch of his snack brand Feastables, a branded burger chain with reviews bad enough that he sued the company behind it, and an Amazon Prime Video deal for a 1000-contestant reality competition show.

But before overtaking YouTube with his often-absurd charitable acts, Donaldson built a sizable following as a gaming content creator who sometimes interacted with viewers on livestreams.

'Blind ambition for attention'

In a 2017 clip circulated by YouTube influencer Rosanna Pansino in a July 24 post on X, Donaldson responded to a viewer who commented about selling black people for money and said that "the most I would pay is probably $300."

Donaldson also used a homophobic slur at multiple points and after one commenter repeated a racial slur, Donaldson eventually instructed his audience to stop using that word in the chat.

Pansino told AP she'd worked on various potential business ventures with Donaldson over the last several years, though none ever launched. Last fall, she complained publicly about an edit of her appearance in a MrBeast video, though eventually deleted the posts after she said she received death threats from fans.

Pansino said that contrary to popular opinion, it's "just not true" that Donaldson has always made "family friendly content."

"His first videos, where he was trying to be an edgy gamer and streamer, and he said horrible things and nasty things — I didn't know that," Pansino said.

"I had no idea that history was there."

In a separate clip from a May 2017 podcast appearance, Donaldson suggested he would have sex with the rapper Bhad Bhabie, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli and who was 14 years old at the time. The video has since been removed for "violating YouTube's community guidelines."

Podcast co-host Leon Lush defended Donaldson in a video posted on X last week. Lush said Donaldson clarified later on the episode that he "wouldn't do that" because Bregoli was "way too young" and had joked they should "say something offensive that people can take out of context."

Lush added that the recording is "cringe in hindsight" and dismissed the outcry as "a molehill turning into a mountain."

"Being unfunny seems like the worst offense here. When you mix a propensity for dark humor with blind ambition for attention, you get" this content sometimes, Lush said.

"Was being edgy the best strategy? Certainly not, although it did work sometimes as far as getting attention."

IDF Soldier Suspected of Raping Palestinian Prisoner Says Military Police Interrogators 'Applauded Us'

One of the Israeli Defense Force soldiers suspected of raping a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman military base in Israel told the media that military police interrogators "applauded us."

Israeli journalist Israel Frey reports: "Meir Ben Shatrit, an IDF soldier suspected of sadistic abuse of Palestinian detainees, admits that his interrogation by the military police was only a sham. 'You feel they want to thank you, there were days when they applauded us,' he said."

The wife of one of the soldiers accused of raping/anally sodomizing the prisoner told the Israeli media, "What do I care about his ass?" and claimed her and her husband "feel threatened."

More than a dozen arrested in Comic-Con human trafficking sting

Authorities arrested 14 people and rescued 10 victims in a massive human trafficking sting at the San Diego Comic-Con Convention, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on Tuesday.

The operation took place Thursday through Saturday at the wildly popular and star-studded convention in downtown San Diego and involved local and state task force officers, Bonta’s office said.

Law enforcement personnel posed as sex buyers to identify and contact potential trafficking victims and arrest their traffickers, according to the attorney general’s office. They also posted undercover ads soliciting sex.

“Unfortunately, sex traffickers capitalize on large-scale events such as Comic-Con to exploit their victims for profit,” Bonta said in a statement. “These arrests send a clear message to potential offenders that their criminal behavior will not be tolerated.”

Israel’s reckless escalations demand we honestly scrutinize Kamala Harris’ Gaza position

Within 12 hours, Israel bombed Beirut and assassinated the political head of Hamas. why is the media lauding Harris’ empathy-speak and appeals to ‘ceasefire negotiations’?

In her first week officially running for president as the de facto Democratic nominee, there’s been a lot of confusion over Vice President Kamala Harris’ position on Gaza. After the moral and electoral nightmare that was President Joe Biden’s 9.5 months of lockstep support for Israel’s campaign of destruction and mass killing, many are looking for a sign—any signal—that a Harris White House would change course. This desire for good news is understandable, but in the rush to turn the page on the horrific Biden record, one must be sober and honest about what Harris is actually saying—and, more importantly, not saying—on the fact of genocide in Gaza.

Thus far, we’ve seen no evidence she would break from the White House’s current position, and in key ways she appears to be latching on to the same obfuscating tactics of her 81-year-old predecessor.

In a time of ever-shifting focus, sophisticated social media narratives, and the genuine fear of a second Trump term, it’s easy to simply vibe one’s way into thinking Harris is breaking from Biden on Gaza.

Now, this isn’t to say Harris won’t eventually change—or that her position is cemented—but it’s essential to be clear-eyed and know what meaningful change would look like in the event she actually does go beyond the superficial tweaks.

First, what we do know and where we currently are: As I laid out last week for In These Times, Palestine solidarity activists, the National Uncommitted Movement, and mainstream labor unions have shifted their demands of the White House from simply calling for a “ceasefire” to ending military aid to israel. The reason for this, as I’ve been documenting for months, is that the White House PR machine has successfully warped the commonly understood definition of ceasefire to mean something else entirely. The term, based on its usage in half a dozen other Gaza bombings over the past 17 years, was broadly understood to mean a demand was for the US to use its dispositive leverage to compel Israel to withdraw from Gaza and end the bombing. But the White House—after initially banning everyone in their administration from using the word—began to embrace the label “ceasefire” on the eve of the Michigan primary in February, but shifted its definition to mean only a “temporary pause.” Basically, the White House supports a brief pause in fighting followed by continued, indefinite support for Israel waging war in Gaza under the unachievable auspices of “eliminating Hamas.” As such, they can continue to appeal to open-ended, bad-faith “ceasefire negotiations” that must be “pushed”—while painting themselves as a neutral, powerless third party.

Evidence of Israel’s bad faith “negotiations” was made undeniable early Wednesday morning when they apparently killed the head of the Hamas ceasefire delegation, Ismail Haniyeh, while he visited Iran for their presidential swearing-in ceremony. This is not consistent with a party seeking to “end the war,” but it is consistent with a party that has pledged––as they have dozens of times, including in front of Congress last week––to achieve “total victory.” US officials and pundits simply ignoring this reality and projecting peaceful intentions onto them won’t make it so.

New Android malware wipes your device after draining bank accounts

A new Android malware that researchers call 'BingoMod' can wipe devices after successfully stealing money from the victims' bank accounts using the on-device fraud technique.

Promoted through text messages, the malware poses as a legitimate mobile security tool and can steal up to 15,000 EUR per transaction.

According to researchers analyzing it, BingoMod is currently under active development, with its author focusing on adding code obfuscation and various evasion mechanisms to drop detection rate.

BingoMod details

Researchers at Cleafy, an online fraud management and prevention solution, found that BingoMod is distributed in smishing (SMS phishing) campaigns and uses various names that typically indicate a mobile security tool (e.g. APP Protection, Antivirus Cleanup, Chrome Update, InfoWeb, SicurezzaWeb, WebSecurity, WebsInfo, WebInfo, and APKAppScudo).

In one instance, the malware uses the icon for the free AVG AntiVirus & Security tool available on Google Play.

During the installation routine, the malware requests permission to use Accessibility Services, which provides advanced features that allow extensive control of the device.

Once active, BingoMod steals any login credentials, takes screenshots, and intercepts SMS messages.

To perform on-device fraud (ODF), the malware establishes a socket-based channel to receive commands and an HTTP-based channel to send a feed of screenshots, enabling almost real-time remote operation.

German Media Admits Unvaxxed Are ‘Winners,’ Demands Government ‘Apologize’

A major corporate media outlet in Germany has just declared that people who refused to take Covid mRNA shots during and after the pandemic are “the winners.”

During a bombshell segment on German legacy media outlet Welt, the panel argued that the government owes the public an apology for claiming Covid was a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”

Prominent German reporter Hans-Ulrich Jörges said the unvaccinated were “the winners” because they refused to comply with the government’s mass vaccination agenda.

Jörges called for public apologies from key government officials who perpetuated the narrative that the pandemic was solely a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”

He began the discussion by reflecting on the pandemic era.

The journalists described the Covid pandemic as a challenging time marked by confusion and fear.

However, he then declared that those who refused to submit to government and media pressure to get vaccinated have now been proved correct.

“The winners for me are the unvaccinated during the Covid times” he proclaimed.

“They have now been proved right.

Pentagon trying to hide latest hypersonic test failure, says results ‘unclear’

The Pentagon just tested a hypersonic weapon, but refuses to disclose whether it was successful or not. It doesn’t even want to specify which system was involved or if there was an actual launch, as the US military often runs ground tests and presents them as “successful weapon launches”. In a previous test, the US Army’s “Dark Eagle”, a ground-based hypersonic weapon, failed miserably, forcing the Pentagon to go back to the drawing board. The initial plan was to have the weapon ready in the next two months, a year later than originally planned. The US Army and Navy are running a joint Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) program which aims to save costs by using the Common-Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB). However, the US military simply cannot master the technologies needed to make an operational weapon. Apart from dozens of failures, there are also regular cancelations of tests (just last year, there were three scrubbed test launches).
