Netanyahu's Annexation Playbook

Trump’s Top Spy Has One Job: Revenge · Jun 3, 2026 News

Netanyahu publicly stated Israel controls 60% of Gaza and his directive is to push to 70%, which would compress roughly 2 million Palestinians into 30% of one of the most densely populated places on earth. Israel's defense minister is openly talking about 'voluntary migration' — a euphemism Ben Rhodes and Tommy Vietor call ethnic cleansing.

Gaza: Annexation, Ethnic Cleansing Rhetoric, and Hell on Earth

At 45:00 · chapter starts 44:10

Netanyahu, at what appears to be a settlement event in the West Bank, plays to the crowd about expanding Israeli territorial control in Gaza from 60% to 70% — squeezing approximately 2 million Palestinians into 30% of one of the most densely populated places on earth. Israel's defense minister Israel Katz tweets about 'voluntary migration,' which Tommy and Ben read as ethnic cleansing in diplomatic language. The humanitarian picture drawn by Doctors Without Borders is catastrophic: 90% of water and sanitation infrastructure destroyed, pests breeding in sewage, rats, lice, scabies, and fungal infections rampant, with essentially no functioning healthcare. Ben notes the international community has done essentially nothing — no UN action, no significant fundraising, no media access to see the actual death toll, which is probably far higher than the 70,000 already reported. A side story about the UK's Starmer government banning American podcasters Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker for their views on the Israeli occupation — while doing nothing for Palestinian civilians — prompts sharp criticism from both hosts of a centre-left government prioritizing silencing critics over helping the people its policies affect.

Gaza: Hell on Earth

Trump’s Top Spy Has One Job: Revenge · Jun 3, 2026 News

Doctors Without Borders found that Israel has destroyed or damaged nearly 90% of Gaza's water and sanitation infrastructure. Raw sewage breeds pests. Rat bites, scabies, lice, and fungal infections are rampant. Meanwhile, the Board of Peace has achieved exactly nothing, and there is no international pressure, no UN action, and no media access to see what is actually happening.

Why the Israel-Killed-Kirk Theory Doesn't Hold Up

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
