TERROR: Soros-funded Indivisible is openly admitting they are behind the 1300 paid protests happening today in all 50 states. Democrat billionaires are funding these uprisings and they should held legally accountable for the violence and vandalism.

Israeli Army Organizes 'Hiking Tours' For Jewish Settlers In Occupied Syria
The Israeli army is organizing hiking tours for civilians inside recently occupied Syrian territory during the upcoming Passover holiday, according to Israeli media reports.
The tours, coordinated by the Israeli military's Northern Command and 210th Division alongside the "Friends on Excursions" group, are supported by the Golan Heights Settlements Council and the Israeli Nature and Parks Authority.
Participants, who must receive special permits, will be escorted by Israeli troops as they travel up to 2.5 kilometers into Syrian land, near the village of Maaraba. Tour highlights include visits to Wadi al-Ruqad (a tributary of the Yarmouk River), the Hejaz Railway Tunnel, and the Shebaa Farms – a contested strip of Lebanese territory occupied by Israel at the base of Mount Hermon.
Though registration has closed, the army said additional tours may be offered depending on the security situation. The excursions mark the first Israeli civilian presence in areas of Syria recently taken over by Israeli forces following the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in December.
In recent months, Israel has intensified airstrikes on Syrian military bases and moved beyond the Golan Heights' demilitarized buffer zone, occupying strategic areas like Mount Hermon in violation of the 1974 disengagement agreement. Initial Israeli security plans reportedly envisioned a 15-km demilitarized zone and a broader 60-km zone of influence inside Syria.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has since called for the complete demilitarization of southern Syria, declaring that Israeli troops would remain in the Golan buffer zone and Mount Hermon indefinitely to block Syrian army access south of Damascus.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has openly expressed support for expanding Israel's borders beyond Palestinian territories, hinting at ambitions for a "Greater Israel" encompassing parts of neighboring Arab countries, including as far as Damascus.
In a French documentary, Israel: Extremists in Power, Smotrich endorsed a Jewish state governed by Jewish values and smiled when asked if Israeli sovereignty should extend beyond the Jordan River.

Jews at Tufts oppose ICE seizure of anti-Israel grad student, but are wary of protests
While condemning the arrest of Rümeysa Öztürk amid free speech concerns surrounding Trump crackdown, Jewish advocates feel isolated by the tenor of demonstrations on her behalf
For the last year and a half, Tufts Students for Israel has battled against criticism of Israel on the Boston-area campus. But on Thursday, the group took a stance of a different kind: It published an op-ed in the campus newspaper advocating for the school’s most prominent pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel student.
“The detainment of Rümeysa Öztürk is plain wrong,” the group said. “And we stand firmly against it.”
They were referring to the Turkish national and fifth-year doctoral student who was seized by ICE officers on March 27 after leaving her home to attend a Ramadan iftar dinner. The group said it was “horrified” by the video of Öztürk’s arrest, in which several plainclothes officers surround her on the street before bundling her into an unmarked car. The group was also unsettled by the fact that her only apparent offense was having co-authored an op-ed calling on Tufts to divest from Israel and accusing Israel of genocide.

JTA — For the last year and a half, Tufts Students for Israel has battled against criticism of Israel on the Boston-area campus. But on Thursday, the group took a stance of a different kind: It published an op-ed in the campus newspaper advocating for the school’s most prominent pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel student.
“The detainment of Rümeysa Öztürk is plain wrong,” the group said. “And we stand firmly against it.”

The group was also unsettled by the fact that her only apparent offense was having co-authored an op-ed calling on Tufts to divest from Israel and accusing Israel of genocide.
“If any of us do not have the right to speak freely, then none of us have freedom of speech,” Tufts Students for Israel wrote.
The students joined a number of other Jewish voices condemning Öztürk’s arrest. More than 100 rabbis across Massachusetts have signed a statement criticizing the Trump administration’s action, and dozens of members of a local synagogue attended a rally in her name.
Their advocacy comes amid an apparent hardening of American Jewish sentiment against the Trump administration’s crackdown on what it says are “Hamas sympathizers” on college campuses. In recent days, the CEOs of Hillel International and the Anti-Defamation League both articulated reservations about deporting non-citizen students who participated in pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protests; for the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt, that marked a shift from several weeks ago.
Yet at the same time, the act of rejecting the Trump administration’s ostensible support has not come close to resolving the alienation that many Jews have felt during the Israel-Hamas war. Instead, both students and locals say they were turned off by the anti-Israel tenor of demonstrations on Öztürk’s behalf.

Trump imposing tariffs on Israeli goods is shameful betrayal
What makes this decision particularly galling is the timing. On Tuesday, Israel officially removed all tariffs on American products.
In a move that left Israeli officials and business leaders both stunned and disheartened, US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the imposition of a 17% tariff on Israeli goods entering the United States (along with additional tariffs assigned globally).
The decision by the Trump administration to impose tariffs on Israeli goods is nothing short of a shameful betrayal.
This move came merely hours after Israel abolished all remaining tariffs on American imports – a gesture of goodwill and economic partnership. Yet, instead of reciprocating, Trump has chosen to punish an ally. He may have an “America First” policy, but this is no way to treat a friend. The abrupt and unexpected nature of this tariff imposition not only undermines the spirit of cooperation but also raises pressing questions about the future of Israel-US trade relations.
What makes this decision particularly galling is the timing. On Tuesday, Israel officially removed all tariffs on American products. This was intended to deepen the strategic partnership between the two nations and provide Israeli consumers with access to more affordable American goods.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that this move was part of a broader policy to “open the market to competition, introduce diversity into the economy, and reduce the cost of living.” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich echoed this sentiment, highlighting the opportunity to “reshape the strategic economic relationship” with the US and promote stronger cooperation.
However, the US response was not as anticipated, and feels, among Israeli officials and business leaders, like a definite slap in the face. Israeli officials were taken aback by this decision, having believed that their elimination of tariffs on US imports would forestall any reciprocal actions. An anonymous official expressed the collective shock, stating, “We were sure that the decision to completely cancel tariffs on imports from the US would prevent this move. But it didn’t happen.”
Tariffs' economic implications
The economic implications of these tariffs are significant. Israel boasts a $17 billion export market to the US, with key sectors including diamonds, machinery, electrical, and medical equipment. The newly imposed tariffs threaten to diminish the competitiveness of these industries in the American market. Michel Nies, a Citi economist, estimates a potential economic impact of up to $3 billion, equating to 0.6% of Israel’s GDP.

Over 30 people arrested daily in UK for social media posts deemed offensive
The chilling crackdown on free speech in Britain is ramping up at an alarming pace. With over 30 arrests per day, British police are increasingly detaining individuals for social media posts deemed offensive or harmful. This is no longer an isolated issue but a nationwide trend that’s becoming impossible to ignore. In a world where the lines between free speech and offensive content are becoming ever more blurred, the government’s interpretation of what constitutes a “criminal” post has expanded in a frightening direction. The authorities are not just targeting hate speech or threats but are now arresting people for causing “annoyance,” “inconvenience,” or even “anxiety.” It’s a vague framework that leaves ample room for interpretation, and that’s where the trouble begins.
The legal basis for these arrests stems from the Malicious Communications Act 1988 and Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003. Both laws criminalize messages that cause emotional distress. The irony here? These laws were designed for more clear-cut cases of harm, like harassment or threats of violence, but now they’re being weaponized to target much more benign interactions. This is not about protecting citizens from violence—it’s about controlling the flow of information and opinion. Anyone who expresses anything that could be considered controversial is now at risk of criminal charges. It’s a dangerous precedent that’s likely to spread far beyond Britain’s shores.
The scope of these arrests has exploded in recent years. In 2016, British authorities detained over 3,300 people for online offenses. This was a nearly 50% increase compared to the previous year. The Metropolitan Police alone made 857 arrests for similar offenses in 2015. This escalating trend indicates a systemic shift in how we perceive online expression. Social media, once a platform for open dialogue, is becoming a minefield where anything remotely provocative could land you in jail.

CIA “Democracy doesn’t mean a thing”
“The principle of government by the people, for the people, of the people, that is just silly”
Philip Agee, CIA Agent “In the CIA, we didn't give a hoot about democracy. I mean, it was fine if a government was elected and would cooperate with us, but if it didn't, then democracy didn't mean a thing to us. And I don't think it means a thing today.
The true goal of the United States government is control. And they feel that if the United States did not control the governments of Latin America, then somebody else would.
And the principle of government by the people, for the people of the people, that is just. That's just silly.”

And this is,
ANOTHER DEMOCRAT:
The President of City Council of Atlantic City arrested for running a ballot fraud operation for years.
A criminal complaint accuses Craig Callaway, 64, a political organizer, of illegally obtaining and casting ballots.
About a month before the election, Callaway and others bribed several individuals to carry completed MAIN IN BALLOT applications to the county clerk's office.
The criminal complaint discloses that a significant number of these fraudulent mail-in ballots were officially counted in the November 2022 election.
This is the same type of ballot fraud operation Ilhan Omar runs in Minnesota. Expect the bitch is walking free.
BAN MASS MAIL-IN-BALLOTS.

Israel Defense Minister Katz Reveals Letters Alleging Iran Provided Financial Support to Hamas for October 7 Terrorist Attacks
Katz said that Izadi said he would approve the terror financing assistance despite Tehran being under financial strain and sanctions because of the supreme importance of embracing conflict against Israel and the US.
He added that the world must realize that Iran is “the head of the snake” which has directed the malign activities of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and terror groups in Syria and Iraq.
Despite the develation, Israeli intelligence has said Iran did not know the exact timing or plans of the October 7 invasion, but rather has focused on the idea that Hamas could not have pulled off the without IRGC training, weapons, and funding.
