Conservative activist Laura Loomer weighed in on the ongoing ICE protests in Los Angeles, calling for tech surveillance corporation Palantir to assist in the deportation of immigrants in the country illegally. Many critics took issue with Loomer’s take, pointing out that mass surveillance of the kind practiced by Palantir is far more dangerous than even the presence of millions of migrants.

Zionists and their defenders frequently point to the indoctrination children in the West Bank and Gaza are subjected to as proof that Palestinians are raised from birth to hate Jews generally, and Israelis specifically.

Little progress is being made in negotiations between the United States and Iran over the latter’s nuclear program, and that may be by design. The U.S. is demanding a complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, which is a non-starter for the Iranians. Meanwhile, the U.S. appears to have reneged on a promise to get a ceasefire and humanitarian aid into Gaza in exchange for the release of the last American hostage, so Hamas — and by extension Iran — feel the U.S. cannot be trusted i...
