100 million victims

Antonio Guterres is further proving that war in Ukraine is not a local conflict, it is something that affects the whole world.

Details: The war in Ukraine could lead more than 1/5 of humanity into poverty, destitution & hunger on a scale not seen in decades - UN Secretary General António Guterres

About a third of the wheat traded worldwide comes from Russia and Ukraine, a fifth for corn and three quarters for sunflower oil. If these quantities are missing at the next harvest, there will be a significant shortage. In the worst case, the war will starve another 100 million people. - said the agricultural economist Matin Qaim in an interview published in the online version of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung on Saturday, March 12.

Update: Fake News Again

Police Spokesperson’s Unit:

Contrary to false reports and following recent foreign media coverage regarding the alleged arson within the archaeological site of the Church of Saint George in the village of Taybeh, we wish to clarify that these reports are factually incorrect, lack any evidentiary basis, and risk misleading the public.

The Commander of the Judea and Samaria District has assigned the investigation to a special investigative team within the Judea and Samaria Central Investigations Unit (YAMAR). In addition, last Thursday, the District Commander appointed an internal review committee led by the Deputy District Commander. The committee is tasked with examining the sequence of events in the police information systems, including the reports and complaints submitted, the response to the incident, and drawing conclusions, in parallel with the ongoing investigation.

Findings gathered on the ground unequivocally show that no damage or harm was caused to the holy site itself.

It has been ...

The UN’s Worst Nightmare Is a Truckload They Don’t Control
How One Independent Aid Group Is Feeding Gaza Without Feeding Terror — and Why the UN Can’t Stand It

They’re not carrying guns. They’re carrying lentils, flour, and powdered milk.

Yet the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)—a private group of veterans, logisticians, and volunteers—is being treated like a geopolitical threat. Why? Because GHF has committed the one unpardonable sin in the United Nations’ aid-industrial complex: delivering food without empowering terrorists.

The United Nations isn’t afraid GHF will fail. It’s afraid GHF will succeed. Because if a small, disciplined nonprofit can feed civilians without funneling resources through Hamas, it exposes something the UN has spent decades trying to hide.

This is the story they don’t want told.


A Truckload of Evidence

The War for Israel’s Future: Deception, Protests, and the Fight for Survival

Washington’s Quiet War on Netanyahu

We’ve learned from a new report that the Biden administration funneled nearly $880 million—yes, almost a billion dollars—into organizations directly or indirectly working to undermine Israel’s current government, to pressure Prime Minister Netanyahu out of office.

Why? According to sources, the administration saw him as an obstacle to their Middle East agenda. Publicly, Biden’s team claimed “ironclad” support for Israel, but behind closed doors, they were pressuring Israel to restrain its military responses in Gaza and to allow more humanitarian aid—even as Hamas continued its terror campaign.

It’s political theater. As I see it, trying to topple a democratically elected leader of an allied nation is nothing short of an act of war.

Manufactured Protests and a Dangerous Narrative

In cities like Tel Aviv, protests erupt weekly, with hundreds of participants waving high-quality printed signs and wearing coordinated t-shirts. These aren’t grassroots movements. Someone is paying for them—and now we know who. One left-wing NGO, Blue and White Future, has reportedly received millions from U.S.-based organizations funded by American taxpayer dollars.

The protests push an absurd narrative: that Israel is holding its own citizens hostage by not surrendering to Hamas. One protester claimed,

“The hostages are actually hostages of Hamas and of the Israeli government.”

Let’s be clear: The only thing keeping this war going is Hamas. If they released the hostages and laid down their arms, the conflict could end tomorrow. But they won’t. Instead, they’ve perfected the art of psychological warfare, raising hopes for a ceasefire only to crush them repeatedly.

Druze Voices, Border Tension and the New Front Israel Fears Most
REPORT FROM MAJDAL SHAMS

 

“Welcome—come see for yourself”

I spent the day in Majdal Shams, a red‑roofed Druze community of 12,000 tucked beneath the snow‑capped slopes of Mount Hermon. ¹* “I always assumed Druze villages were tense, maybe even hostile,” I confessed in last night’s livestream. “I was wrong.” Within minutes of parking, shop‑owners waved us inside for coffee; teenagers practiced English on my cameraman; older men insisted on walking us to the border fence so we could film safely.

“Hey, where are you from? We’re glad you’re here!” —multiple residents, Majdal Shams

That hospitality masks a raw wound. On 27 July 2024 a Hezbollah missile exploded on the town’s soccer field, killing twelve children under 12. Their photos—sun‑bleached but meticulously tended—still hang on the chain‑link. Every local I interviewed knew at least one victim.


The fence and the phones 

From our live position you can see two layers of 12‑foot anti‑climb fencing, razor‑wire and an IDF patrol road. Mobile coverage was so poor I “hyper‑threaded” four Israeli SIM cards to push the stream out—a reminder that these high mountain villages sit literally at the end of the line. Just beyond the wire lies Hadar, the first Syrian Druze village. That’s where an estimated 1,000 Israeli Druze men crossed last week, illegally, carrying supplies and the conviction that “if the IDF can’t protect our cousins, we will.”

One of those men—a newly minted Israeli citizen in his mid‑20s—told me what he saw:

“I reached Hadar and finally met family I’d only known on WhatsApp. Their homes are third‑world. They have no power or medicine. The road to Suwayda is sniper alley—ISIS towns everywhere. They want to kill every Druze.”
