BREAKING: The Supreme Court blocked Trump's birthright citizenship order, so citizenship by birth remains unchanged for children born in the U.S., including those of undocumented immigrants and certain temporary visa holders.

Daniel Levy | Former Israeli Peace Negotiator | US/Middle East Project (USMEP):
 

Israel hopes to stem the bleeding in the US - whether or not it has to deal with Netanyahu specifically affects how its allies maneuver.
 
The Ellison family, Israel-aligned owners of Oracle, now control CBS, CNN & other legacy outlets - and have moved into new media too, including American TikTok.
 
Tech & AI companies have aggressively policed discourse - taking down criticism of Israel & Zionism.
 
What it really depends on is whether people are going to stand up to that. And whether power can be accumulated.
 
But it all comes down to power, whether the challenge to Israel's ethno-supremacism successfully builds alliances.
 
A different future - beyond apartheid & domination - would also mean better security for Israeli Jews.

Trump:

The Supreme Court just took restrictions off political spending! A BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS and, more importantly, The First Amendment!

Netanyahu visits Israel's "security zone" in southern Lebanon.

Turkish President Erdogan:

We are experiencing the brightest period in our history of naval shipbuilding.

To date, we have exported more than 140 naval platforms to countries around the world.

At present, more than 50 warships are being built in our shipyards.

Turkish President Erdogan:

We do not attach the slightest importance to the slander directed at our country by a criminal network whose hands are stained with the blood of 73,000 innocent people in Gaza, most of them women and children.

Our history contains no genocide, no massacres, no oppression, and no colonialism.

Throughout our thousands of years of glorious history, there has been only justice and compassion.

Turkish President Erdogan:

Our history is marked by the virtue of providing refuge to those fleeing the Inquisition and Nazi persecution.

Those who slander Türkiye and the Turkish nation in an attempt to deflect attention from the barbarity they are committing in Gaza know this best—if only they were to look at their own history.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

Without immigration, Spain would lose 19% of its gross domestic product by 2050 and 22% by 2075.

90,000 bars would be forced to shut down.

While others unfortunately use migration for political purposes, we are making migration policy.

Trump:

The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process.

No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship.

They will have my Complete and Total Support!

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

In a country like Spain—as in much of the Western world—which is facing a demographic winter, immigration, together with the family policies this government has been implementing, helps meet labor market needs, supports the welfare state, and keeps many communities alive.

I remember last summer, while wildfires were devastating many regions of our country, meeting the mayor of Villablino, in León.

He told me they wanted migrants to come to their town so they could keep their schools open and sustain their municipality.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

No society has ever advanced by building walls between people who share the same future.

Societies move forward by expanding rights, strengthening coexistence, and committing to integration.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

The reality of Spain is not the messages of hatred that spread across social media.

The reality is the neighbor who helps, the colleague who teaches, the teacher who stands by others, and the neighborhood that welcomes everyone in need.

That is the real Spain. That is the country we are, and the country we will continue to be.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

Being part of a community requires shared rules—rules that we have established democratically.

In Spain, those rules are clear: democratic values, equality between men and women, the rights and freedoms of LGBTQ+ people, freedom of expression, the secular nature of the state, and respect for the rule of law, whether you were born in Amurrio or in Dakar.

These are not conditions for some and privileges for others. They are the rules for everyone.

Trump:

I would like to congratulate President Xi, and the Great Country of China, on their massive Birthright Citizenship WIN!

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin celebrated Iran's World Cup exit, telling reporters, "I'm just glad they're done, and they're not coming back."

He added that he was "so happy" officials were able to revoke the team's visas, saying he "might've sung a song or two or maybe even danced a happy dance," and noted he was "very happy they're going back because there wasn't a single team that we dealt with more than them."

Macron delivers a speech on the death penalty — sunglasses on, indoors:

The death penalty has never made a society safer.

Never. Because it does not deter. That is false. It has been shown, observed, measured.

It can be a weapon. It is never a shield.
