— 🇺🇸 NEW: Trump has appointed Matt Gaetz as upcoming Attorney General of the United States

Matt Gaetz is a staunch supporter of Zionism, praising the relocation of the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

He has been an ally of Trump since 2016, and is part of the 'MAGA Republicans' faction in Congress, who back Trump unconditionally. He was amongst those who forced Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy to resign, in favor of a more pro-Trump candidate, which led to huge backlash.

Shockingly, Gaetz was the only U.S. Member of Congress who voted against the 'Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act', a bill passed in 2017 to combat human trafficking. The FBI also investigated him for 'Sex with a Minor' and 'Sex Trafficking'.

— 🇺🇸 NEW: Trump has appointed former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence

In the past, Gabbard criticized US-led foreign interventions in the Middle East. She condemned the 2020 strike on Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad, and she even visited President Assad of Syria in 2018, stating that there was 'simply not enough evidence' to prove Bashar Al-Assad used chemical weapons against civilians, although she later 'corrected' herself after much backlash, calling Assad a 'brutal dictator, just like Saddam Hussein'.

In recent years, she has become less and less genuine. Like all American politicians, she is staunchly pro-Israel, and condemned the October 7 attacks, calling Hamas an 'Islamist terror organization'. However, she remains less hawkish than many of her political counterparts.

— 🇮🇹/🇮🇱 NEW: The tide in the world is changing, surprisingly even in Europe, with many hotels refusing to serve and accomodate Israelis

Hotel Garni Ongaro in northern Italy refused to receive Israeli guests, due to their support for the genocide in the Gaza Strip. This is being circulated on Hebrew media, with Israelis furious: 'This is antisemitism, Europe has returned to the 1940's!'.

— This is exactly what needs to happen. Let the Israelis know that they are not welcome anywhere. Neither in Palestine, nor in Lebanon, nor anywhere else.

If you shamelessly murder 45,000 people, including 70% women and children, then you do not deserve an ounce of sympathy. You deserve total global isolation.
