Your daily dose of humour from Channel 12:

Foreign Minister Katz to French counterpart: If Hezb-Allah does not withdraw, we will move militarily and establish a buffer zone in southern Lebanon.

Footage posted by the Italian agency for the ship Cyclades after it was targeted by a Shahab drone they claimed to have intercepted.

However, it appears these are the scenes after the strike and during the firefighting efforts.

The documentation is from aboard an Italian frigate that was trying to protect it but failed.

Good ole Italy, always posturing.

WHO DID THIS??

The Intercept is now compromised.

Based on leaked diplomatic cable, Ken Klippenstein revealed the US efforts to avoid having to veto UN recognition of Palestine by trying to convince other nations to vote against it.

It was published by editor Bill Arkin over the objections of The Intercept's legal department, which tried to block it with bureaucracy.

Nikita Mazurov, the company’s PhD in “Cultural Studies” who, for some reasons, serves as the manager of digital security emailed Bill a list of over 20 separate “source protection concerns” he believed needed to be answered before publication.

Bill wrote to David Bralow that Mazurov’s list was surely some kind of “joke,” and he forced publication the day before the vote. A week later, Bill was fired.

In solidarity, Ken Klippenstein resigned, and the pair started a Substack.

In his article on Substack, Ken explained, “I can’t continue in an environment where fear of funders is more important than journalism itself”.
