"It offers no clear path to sovereignty for Palestinians and risks splitting, for the foreseeable future, Gaza from the West Bank"

"A plan that denies one side meaningful agency cannot yield legitimate peace."

This image evokes a powerful and provocative message through its visual composition. It presents a distorted version of the American flag, where the traditional arrangement of stars in the upper left canton has been altered significantly. Instead of the 50 stars arranged in rows, the stars here form a swastika, a symbol historically tied to Nazi ideology and fascism.

Below this altered flag, the word "RESIST" is boldly scrawled in a dark, distressed font that simulates a stencil or spray paint, suggesting urgency and protest. The texture appears gritty and fragmented, conveying struggle and defiance. Beneath "RESIST," the phrase "THE NAZIFCATION OF AMERICA" is printed in a clean, white, sans-serif typeface, emphasizing a clear and solemn warning.

Symbolically, this image is a stark political statement. The swastika superimposed on the American flag implies a fear or accusation that Nazi ideologies—authoritarianism, racism, xenophobia, and hatred—are gaining ground or influence within the United States. The call to "RESIST" implores viewers to oppose this perceived threat actively.

Artistically, the image uses visual disruption of a highly recognized national symbol, the flag, to provoke a strong emotional response. The distortion communicates that what should represent freedom and democracy is under siege or has been corrupted.

In summary, the image uses the American flag and Nazi symbolism in juxtaposition to call for vigilance and resistance against the rise of extremist ideologies in contemporary America. It functions as a political critique and a call to action.

Trump warned his plan for future of Gaza 'doesn't make sense'

Nasser al Qudwa has been tipped for a possible role in the governance of Gaza after Donald Trump led the signing of a peace agreement. But he has serious reservations about the president's plan.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

We should have ended it all when he started openly monetizing the presidency at his DC hotel & sending his kids to represent the 🇺🇸 government at official international events. But he is One Special Boy and we appear to no longer be a serious country interested in the rule of law or the Constitution.

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

ICE Serves Only to Terrorize and Occupy Americans

It's no longer just undocumented immigrants, Muslims, Black people, & pro-Palestinian activists who are targets. As ICE violently marches across American cities, the majority must stand up & resist.

A true president doesn’t care who got the job done, just that it’s done. We are not supposed to be a country divided. Thank you for these words as many people didn’t realize you had also brought home several hostages. I hope we can all come together and collectively agree that we just want peace.

Former Tory Minister Michael Gove says the post-Brexit Tory trade deals with Australia and New Zealand were bad for UK farmers.

Why did he/Tories Tories sign them?

Brexit hasn't yielded any economic benefits. UK gave up the best trade deals and now scavenges for whatever it can get.

Michael Gove admits that post-Brexit trade deals were bad for farmers

Michael Gove has admitted for the first time that the Australia and New Zealand trade deals negotiated by the former Tory government did not protect Britain’s farmers.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.
