Alexander Dugin: The Axes of the Third World War

March 27, 2026/4 Comments/in General/by Alexander Dugin
Iran and Russia perfectly understand that the issue is not who in the West is for war and who is against it, but on whom the West wants to concentrate first. This only means that they will concentrate on the other later. No one harbors any illusions. And of course, Russia and Iran are fighting on the same side and against the same enemy. Any surface-level actions do not change the essence of the Third World War. The fog of war. Negotiations. Distractions. Smoke and mirrors.

The Axes of the Third World War

The axes of the Third World War are becoming increasingly clear.

Alexander Dugin
Mar 27, 2026

The Netanyahu/Trump pole is most of all focused on Iran. If Iran were to fall, they would most likely turn their attention to supporting Ukraine and targeting Russia. But Iran’s desperate resistance is diverting their main attention. Right now, Russia is not their priority — Iran is. Of course, Trump no longer cares at all about “peacekeeping,” so any settlement with Russia, if it has any meaning, is purely pragmatic. His war is the war with Iran. Israel has made this war Trump’s war. And Trump is not backing away from it.

Thus, one axis has been formed: the US/Israel against Iran. Other regional powers are being offered a choice — and it is a harsh one: either join the American-Israeli coalition or join Iran (the Resistance). No intermediate position is envisaged, and if anyone tries to insist on neutrality, they will be bombed and attacked from both sides. There is no neutrality here. The train has left the station.

The second axis: the EU/Britain/globalists in the US (primarily the Democratic Party) against Russia and in support of the Kyiv regime. This is a very real and ferocious war, for which the majority of European countries (with the exception of Hungary and Slovakia) are preparing for direct participation. The Democratic Party in the US is promoting precisely this war; for this pole, Ukraine is the priority.

The main goal of both poles is to drive a wedge between Iran and Russia so that they do not notice that they are fighting the same enemy. And the main complaint of the US and Israel toward the EU and the globalists, as well as the main complaint of the EU and the globalists toward the US and Israel, is precisely that they are waging two wars against two opponents of Epstein’s civilization at the same time, rather than one after the other.

Since the war with Iran is dragging on, Israel is gradually turning into Gaza, and the world economy is about to collapse due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz (energy lockdowns have already been introduced in some countries), the globalists have turned against Trump, who, in their view, is “betraying Ukraine” and diverting attention from the main enemy — Russia. This line is being pumped up by Soros’s networks, which generally hate Trump and Netanyahu. But the following must be kept in mind: those who attack Trump and Israel most fiercely for the war with Iran are not against war in general, but for war with Russia. Almost all the European forces and entire countries that have piled on Netanyahu are simply demanding a shift in priorities in favor of Zelensky’s regime. In the US, the Democrats are screaming about this at the top of their lungs.

Iran and Russia perfectly understand that the issue is not who in the West is for war and who is against it, but on whom the West wants to concentrate first. This only means that they will concentrate on the other later. No one harbors any illusions. And of course, Russia and Iran are fighting on the same side and against the same enemy. Any surface-level actions do not change the essence of the Third World War. The fog of war. Negotiations. Distractions. Smoke and mirrors.

The main thing now is not to let the enemy — the collective West, Epstein’s civilization — defeat us one by one. We must enter the war as soon as possible and as radically as possible. Support friends and allies, convince the wavering, and bring society to a state of emergency.

A very vivid example is Iran’s information war, which they are winning brilliantly. This is simply an observation.

A great deal depends on China. So far it is waiting, but it has already unleashed its latest psychological weapon — Professor Jiang Xueqin. He is attacking the consciousness of global analysts with his predictions. Not bad at all. For the first time, Chinese intellectuals have begun talking about the Zionist conspiracy, eschatology, Sabbatai Zevi, Jacob Frank, the Illuminati, grand geopolitics, and global capitalist elites. China’s strategic thinking is coming into focus. No more “win-win” or panda strategies. Things are being called by their real names.

Beijing will strike at Taiwan, but it is unclear when. If it waits until other forces of multipolarity are weakened or, God forbid, fall, China will not stand alone. Therefore, it is better to strike right now, opening a third front. Against the very same enemy. Strictly and directly the same one.

Right now the enemy is preparing, but is not yet ready to wage three wars simultaneously. And if someone else from the multipolar world opens an additional front, the enemy’s forces will be spread across the entire planet. It is high time to begin a global planetary uprising against the dictatorship of Baal. He has exposed himself sufficiently.

It is no coincidence that Peter Thiel, who brought Trump to power, is traveling the world giving lectures about the Antichrist. Everyone has seen the true face of the West — it is Epstein. It is the murdered Iranian schoolgirls, it is the tens of thousands of infants in Gaza. No one can say: “I didn’t know, I didn’t see, I wasn’t aware.” That excuse no longer works. Everyone has seen and everyone knows, and if they are still not fighting on our side of the front, then in essence they are on the side of the enemy. And they become legitimate targets.

Latin America currently looks like the obviously weak link. The shameful surrender of the ideas of the Revolution and Chávez’s legacy by the pathetic cowards in the Venezuelan government is depressing. No one will name their daughters “Delcy” for centuries to come. The surname “Rodríguez” has also been badly damaged. Lula and Brazil, as well as Mexico and Colombia, are doing something to help Cuba, but they do not dare directly challenge the United States. They are afraid. But there is no point in being afraid anymore — it’s too late.

In Africa there are brilliant heroes in the form of the countries of the Sahel Association (Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali), proud Ethiopia, and several other regimes that have not bowed before the civilization of Baal (CAR, partly South Africa). This inspires cautious optimism.

The Sunni Islamic world is divided, its upper echelons are corrupt and integrated into the Epstein archipelago, the masses are corrupted by idiotic Salafism and Wahhabism, which make Muslims pour out their anger on the innocent and defend the interests of the US and Israel. A relatively sovereign position is held by Pakistan (though it has its own war with the Taliban-Pashtuns) and Indonesia. As for the Zionists, Erdoğan is next in line for elimination, but he will waver (as usual).

India, being a pillar of multipolarity and a State-Civilization, finds itself in a difficult position. New Delhi sees China as its main regional rival, and Modi and the surrounding Hindutva regard Islam with great suspicion. This pushes India toward an alliance with the US and Israel, although a more active policy on this side of the front is hardly to be expected.

North Korea looks like the most adequate country, and Japan the most inadequate.

The Third World War is being waged between those who want to preserve and strengthen the hegemony of the collective West at any cost (both in its wild-Trumpist, Zionist version and in the globalist Euro-model), and multipolar humanity — that is, us. It is already underway. In full swing.

Of course, one can continue to pretend that nothing of the sort is happening. But why?

ZeroHedge: Republican Lawmakers Led By Nancy Mace Begin To Break With Trump On Iran War: ‘We Were Misled’

Republican Lawmakers Led By Nancy Mace Begin To Break With Trump On Iran War: ‘We Were Misled’

Republican lawmakers are belatedly starting to wake up to the potential for the United States to once again get bogged down in yet another Middle East quagmire, but this time with a country double the size of Iraq (both in geography and population).

GOP Rep. Nancy Mace has led the charge this week, blasting any potential Trump admin move to put American boots on the ground, warning she will vehemently oppose new war funding if American troops are deployed in Iran. “I’ll be voting against the funding if we’re putting troops on the ground,” Mace told a reporter outside the Capitol earlier in the week. “I’m not going to fund that.”

The comments came after the Pentagon days prior unveiled a massive $200 billion supplemental request in order to fund the war, which was at first previewed by White House officials as lasting a mere ‘days’ or a few ‘weeks’ and not months (or years).

Mace soon followed her verbal comments with a Tuesday post on X pushing back against getting sucked into a ground war. “If a single boot of a single American soldier sets foot on Iranian soil, I will vote against this,” Mace wrote. “I will not vote to fund sending South Carolina’s sons and daughters to die in a ground war in Iran.”

Mondoweiss: ‘No Kings’ protest refusal to address the war on Iran reflects the failure of the U.S. antiwar movement

Liberals love war, and if Kamala or Gavin was president they would be all in. No Kings is all about TDS.

‘No Kings’ protest refusal to address the war on Iran reflects the failure of the U.S. antiwar movement

The upcoming No Kings protest could be the biggest anti-Trump event ever, but opposing the war on Iran doesn’t seem to be on the agenda.

No Kings protest New Orleans (Indivisible social media)

This Saturday marks the No Kings Day of Nonviolent Action, where organizers will protest the Trump administration across hundreds of U.S. cities and towns.

Some predict it will be the biggest anti-Trump event ever, surpassing last year’s No Kings rallies.

Minnesota, which became the epicenter of Trump resistance after the killings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, will feature the flagship protest with performances and speeches from Bruce Springsteen, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Joan Baez.

The Indivisible coalition, which organized the event, cites a multitude of reasons for the protest, with ICE raids chief among them.

“[The Trump] administration is sending masked agents into our streets, terrorizing our communities,” the No Kings website declares. “They are targeting immigrant families, profiling, arresting, and detaining people without warrants. Threatening to overtake elections. Gutting healthcare, environmental protections, and education when families need them most. Rigging maps to silence voters. Ignoring mass shootings at our schools and in our communities. Driving up the cost of living while handing out massive giveaways to billionaire allies, as families struggle. Spending billions of our tax dollars on missile strikes abroad all while driving up the cost of living and handing out massive giveaways to billionaire allies.”

You’ll note that the current war on Iran — which has killed over 1,500 people, has already caused worldwide economic disruption, and threatens to spill into an even wider conflict — barely gets passing mention in this description. And when it does, the main focus is on the money being wasted.

From Drop-Site Daily summary of the war

March 26, 2026/1 Comment/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

Trump is so full of shit:

  • Trump insists Iran interested in talks: U.S. President Donald Trump again insisted Iran is interested in a deal after Tehran dismissed the claims. Writing on Truth Social, Trump said, “The Iranian negotiators are very different and ‘strange.’ They are ‘begging’ us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been militarily obliterated, with zero chance of a comeback, and yet they publicly state that they are only ‘looking at our proposal.’ WRONG!!! They better get serious soon, before it is too late, because once that happens, there is NO TURNING BACK, and it won’t be pretty!”
  • Thousands of American troops forced off U.S. bases by Iran attacks: Iran’s bombing of U.S. bases in the Middle East in retaliation for the U.S.-Israeli war has forced many American troops to relocate to hotels and office spaces throughout the region, according to The New York Times. “Many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable, with the ones in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, suffering perhaps the most damage,” the Times wrote. “There were close to 40,000 U.S. troops in the region when the war started, and Central Command has dispersed thousands of them, some to as far away as Europe, American military officials said. But many have remained in the Middle East, although not on their original bases…The result, according to current and former military officials, is a war that is much harder to prosecute.” Iranian officials have accused the U.S. military of using civilians as human shields by putting American military personnel in hotels. “We are forced to identify and target the Americans,” the IRGC said according to the Tasnim news agency. “Therefore, it is better not to shelter them in hotels and to stay away from their locations.”
  • Iran’s IRGC claims it shot down U.S. F/A-18 over Chabahar: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed Tuesday evening it downed a U.S. Navy F/A-18 fighter jet over Chabahar, a port city on Iran’s southeastern coast near the Pakistani border, using a new air defense system, with the aircraft—valued between $66 million and $75 million—reportedly crashing into the Indian Ocean. The IRGC described Tuesday’s incident as “the fourth successful hunt” for U.S. or Israeli fighter jets since the war began. U.S. Central Command denied the claim on X.
  • CENTCOM: U.S. has struck more than 10,000 targets in Iran: CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper said Wednesday that American forces have struck more than 10,000 targets across Iran since the war began on February 28, including naval assets and missile sites. Cooper claimed 92 percent of Iran’s largest naval vessels have been destroyed and are “not sailing” and said the U.S. has “significantly” degraded Iran’s naval drone and missile capabilities while removing the regime’s ability to rebuild them.
  • Two killed in UAE: Two people were killed by falling shrapnel from a missile interception over Abu Dhabi, according to authorities in the UAE.
  • Jordan suspends residency of Iranian diplomat: Jordan suspended the residency of an Iranian diplomat and denied accreditation to another, the foreign minister told state-owned TV on Thursday, in what he said was a message to Iran. Both Saudi Arabia and Lebanon have declared Iranian diplomats personae non gratae in recent days.
  • Gulf states activate air defenses amid incoming Iranian fire:
    • Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates moved to intercept incoming Iranian projectiles early Thursday, the Associated Press reported. Bahraini authorities said they were working to extinguish a fire at a site in Muharraq—home to the country’s international airport.
    • On Wednesday, Iran launched a missile strike on Israel’s largest power plant in Hadera, a coastal city in northern Israel roughly halfway between Tel Aviv and Haifa, with the missile striking a short distance from its target.
  • Iran strikes chemical complex in Negev linked to white phosphorus production: An Iranian ballistic missile struck the state-owned ICL Rotem chemical complex in Israel’s Negev on Wednesday, causing a large blast and fire at the facility, according to reports and geolocated footage. The site, located near Dimona, is part of Israel’s largest chemicals company and is linked to phosphate extraction used in white phosphorus production, which Israel has used illegally in both Gaza and southern Lebanon.
  • Pakistan confirms role in relaying messages from U.S. to Iran: Pakistani foreign minister Ishaq Dar confirmed on Thursday that Pakistan has been relaying messages between the U.S. and Iran. “There has been unnecessary speculation in the media regarding peace talks to end ongoing conflict in the Middle East. In reality, US-Iran indirect talks are taking place through messages being relayed by Pakistan. In this context, the United States has shared 15 points, being deliberated upon by Iran,” Dar wrote in a post on X. “Brotherly countries of Turkiye and Egypt, among others, are also extending their support to this initiative.”
  • Iran’s foreign minister says no negotiations taking place: Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi flatly contradicted Trump’s claims of active diplomacy between the countries in a state television interview Wednesday. “No negotiations have happened with the enemy until now, and we do not plan on any negotiations,” Araghchi said. He added the U.S. tried to send messages to Iran through other nations, “but that is not a conversation nor a negotiation.” Araghchi said Iran has selectively allowed passage through the Strait of Hormuz only to countries it considers friends—naming China, Russia, India, Iraq, and Pakistan—and that there is “no reason” to extend that access to enemies.
  • Iran fortifies Kharg Island as U.S. weighs ground operation: Iran is reinforcing defenses on Kharg Island—which handles roughly 90 percent of the country’s crude exports—including laying mines and deploying additional air defenses and forces, CNN reported Wednesday, citing sources familiar with U.S. intelligence. The Trump administration is weighing a ground operation to seize the island as leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, while U.S. officials, military planners, and regional sources warn of significant casualty risks. A senior Gulf official told CNN that Gulf allies are actively urging Washington against deploying ground forces, cautioning that such a move could trigger Iranian retaliation against regional infrastructure.
  • Iran’s parliament moves toward formalizing tolls in Strait of Hormuz: Iran’s parliament is pursuing legislation to assert formal sovereignty and control over the Strait of Hormuz and charge tolls to vessels transiting it, according to Fars News Agency. “This is entirely natural, just as goods pay transit fees when passing through other corridors, the Strait of Hormuz is also a corridor,” lawmaker Mohammadreza Rezaei Kouchi was quoted as saying. “We provide its security, and it is natural that ships and oil tankers should pay such fees.” The shipping analysis firm Lloyd’s List Intelligence published a report claiming Iran is already charging fees and is running “de facto ‘toll booth’ regime” for passage through the strait.
  • UAE envoy calls for “conclusive outcome” beyond ceasefire with Iran: UAE Ambassador to the U.S. Yousef Al Otaiba wrote in the Wall Street Journal Wednesday that a simple ceasefire with Iran is insufficient and that any resolution must address Tehran’s “full range of threats.” Al Otaiba announced the UAE would join international efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and keep it open, reaffirmed the country’s $1.4 trillion investment commitment in the U.S., and claimed Iran has launched more than 2,180 missiles and drones at the UAE since the war began, with over 95 percent intercepted. The op-ed marks a significant public signal of UAE alignment with Washington’s war aims at a moment when both the UAE and Saudi Arabia are reportedly weighing whether to formally join U.S. military operations against Iran.
  • UN Security Council split over resolution to authorize force in Strait of Hormuz: Bahrain has put forward a draft UN Security Council resolution calling on countries to use “all necessary means” to keep the Strait of Hormuz open—including military action to “repress, neutralize and deter” attempts to obstruct international navigation—but the proposal is facing significant resistance, according to three council diplomats who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The draft, placed under Chapter Seven of the UN Charter which authorizes measures up to the use of force, is being reworked after multiple countries raised concerns; China and Russia, both veto-wielding members, are among those opposed to the current text. France separately introduced a competing resolution Monday that makes no mention of Iran, carries no Chapter Seven authorization, and instead urges all parties to de-escalate and return to diplomacy. Neither draft is expected to come to a vote this week.
  • Trump is receiving curated, daily “highlight reel” of Iran war strikes: Each day since the war on Iran began, U.S. military officials compile a roughly two-minute video of the biggest U.S. strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours for President Donald Trump—a montage one official described as “stuff blowing up”—but the briefing format is fueling concerns among some of Trump’s own allies that he is not absorbing the full picture of the conflict, three current and one former U.S. official told NBC News. The concerns echo a pattern from previous wars: former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent said recently that “key decision-makers were not allowed to come express their opinion to the president” and that “there wasn’t a robust debate.”

Vote Fraud: Another ‘Science Is Settled’ Issue. A ‘Consensus’ You Can’t Refuse

March 25, 2026/3 Comments/in General/by Ann Coulter

Perhaps the left’s greatest contribution to public discourse is to threaten anyone who disagrees with them with financial ruin, slander, embarrassment, condemnation, homelessness and prison — and then announce the existence of a “consensus.”

Their signature consensus-by-threat technique has been used to prove the truth of global warming, Russian interference with the 2016 election, COVID-19 lockdowns, Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation, and — especially important today — the nonexistence of voter fraud.

Dissenters from the liberal position on all these issues are slyly compared to Holocaust conspiracy theorists by calling them “deniers” — “climate deniers,” “COVID deniers,” “mask deniers,” “global warming deniers,” “science deniers,” and “election deniers.” Until very, very recently, “denier” was a word that referred exclusively to Holocaust deniers.

Although I’m sure it’s fun, browbeating people into a terrified, cowering silence isn’t proof of anything. In fact, it kind of suggests beliefs of such dainty substance that raising the slightest objection could make the whole thing fall apart.

Ask Soviet scientists who were sent to the gulag for refusing to affirm Lysenkoism about it. Oh, you can’t. They’re dead.

Today, we’ll examine the left’s “consensus” on the question of voter fraud. With the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) under debate — which would merely require proof of citizenship to vote — we’re getting a lot of categorical, sweeping statements for which there can be no proof, such as, “the 2020 election was the most secure in U.S. history!”

Seventeen intelligence agencies agree! Wait — no, that was about Putin hacking the 2016 election to elect Trump.

To the extent liberals bother trying to marshal any proof that voter fraud doesn’t exist, their evidence is:

1) Promiscuous use of words like “without evidence,” “misinformation,” “conspiracy theory,” “lies,” and “you’re more likely to be struck by lightning.” (All those are from a single New York Times article on voter fraud.)

It’s like lefty Tourette’s. Shohei Ohtani hit a towering home-run to center field, without evidence.

2) Name-calling — extremely effective among kindergarteners and New York Times readers; and

3) Citing the rarity of voter fraud convictions.

The Entire Media Blabosphere: THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS VOTER FRAUD!

Can we look?

The Entire Media Blabosphere: ARE YOU A DENIER? THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS VOTER FRAUD!

Thus, a Times opinion piece proved that voter fraud is a “myth” by citing the book The Myth of Voter Fraud. Not sold yet? Just wait. The book noted that, in 2005, there were more prosecutions for migratory bird law violations than voter fraud. (Perhaps liberals wouldn’t be so glib about migratory bird prosecutions if they knew that 90% of the cases are brought against oil companies.)

I was previously unaware of the “No Convictions, No Crimes” mathematical proof. Now that I know about it, I’ve got a banger. This should at least win me a Booker Prize, if not a Nobel.

I can prove that there were no lynchings in the Old South from 1877 to 1950. Convictions for lynchings were vanishingly rare and punishment rarer.

But even the Klan didn’t block prosecutions like liberals do. The estimated 1% conviction rate for lynchings is still higher than the 0.04% of convictions for voter fraud that liberals tout to prove the nonexistence of voter fraud.

There, I’ve just eliminated about 30% of universities’ core curriculum.

Remember back in 2006 and 2007 when President Bush fired eight of his own U.S. attorneys for not investigating voter fraud, and all hell broke loose?

About a decade earlier, in an unprecedented act, Bill Clinton had fired all 93 U.S. attorneys a few months into his presidency — including one who was about to bring criminal charges against Clinton’s crucial ally, Representative Dan Rostenkowski (D-IL). It was a legit prosecution: The following year, Rostenkowski pleaded guilty and went to prison.

Not a peep of protest. But when Bush fired eight of his own U.S. attorneys for nonperformance on — what was it again? — voter fraud cases, there were congressional investigations, an inspector general’s report and hysterical denunciations from the media.

The Times alone ran 25 — 25! — editorials, calling the firings a “scandal,” a “political purge” a “cover-up,” and demanded the resignation of Bush Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. If that isn’t proof that there’s no such thing as voter fraud, I don’t know what is.

The science is settled! Voter fraud does not exist.

When President Trump put (now) Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach in charge of his Commission on Election Integrity in 2017, left-wing groups promptly filed a dozen lawsuits against the commission’s work — more than had ever been brought against any presidential commission in history.

The lawsuits were nonsense, but responding to them consumed all of the commission’s time, preventing it from, you know, looking into voter fraud. Kobach had no choice but to shut down the whole thing and head back to Kansas.

And that’s how we know for a fact that there’s no such thing as election fraud. It’s as fake as Hunter Biden’s laptop. As bogus as the natural immunity. As phony as lynchings in the Jim Crow South.

Unherd: How the IDF escapes justice

March 25, 2026/4 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald
How the IDF escapes justice
Netanyahu is dismantling Israeli law
[..] as I think back to my basic training, shortly before the hell of the Yom Kippur War, I must admit that we were taught to respect and fear the weapons we were given. The “purity of arms” of the IDF was always partly mythical — yet it was constantly drilled into us. To be victorious, we were told, we had to be just, and as soldiers we were issued clear instructions on when we were allowed to open fire: rules which were strictly enforced. The IDF could not be like those marauding, lawless, criminal armies that subjected Jews to wanton murder, rape, and humiliation during the long centuries of exile. As early as the Thirties, the prominent Zionist leader Berl Katznelson exhorted Jewish paramilitary troops in Palestine: “May our arms remain pure. We train to use weapons, we carry weapons and confront those who attack us. But we do not want our arms to be soiled by the blood of innocents.”
In reality, of course, since its formation in 1948, the IDF engaged in multiple war crimes, not least during the War of Independence itself. Most of these crimes were covered up or denied, from the now well-documented cases of executions in Palestinian villages in the Galilee, which were long denied, to the widely reported massacre of over 100 people, including women and children, in the village of Deir Yassin in April 1948, for which no one was eventually charged.
Even so, on occasion, a few have been prosecuted and held up as a warning about the potential of young armed men descending into savagery. This was the case of the massacre of over 40 civilians in Kafr Qasim in 1956, which resulted in an Israeli court ruling that a “black flag” flies over unlawful orders to kill innocents. But the occupation, which began following the Six Day War, brought with it growing dehumanisation of the Palestinians and the ever-progressive loosening of rules on exercising violence against civilians, as can be seen now in the escalating attacks by Jewish settlers, often abetted by IDF troops, against Palestinians in the West Bank. The scandal that is currently roiling Israeli society — and the nature of the debate surrounding it — is the culmination of this process, with profound ramifications for the rule of law in Israel as a whole.
In July 2024, the IDF military police opened an investigation into reports of abuse of Palestinian prisoners in the notorious detention centre of Sde Teiman. An initial attempt to arrest some of the suspected soldiers was met with demonstrations, and some protestors and far-Right politicians broke into the camp to protect the culprits. Eventually, five soldiers were indicted for causing severe abuse and injury to a prisoner who had to undergo emergency surgery. As protests reached a frenzy, a clip allegedly showing soldiers brutalising a prisoner was leaked to the media, exposing to the public the severity of the abuse. Initially, the office of the Military Advocate General, tasked with running the investigation, insisted that it could not determine the identity of the leaker. But, in October this year, Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi resigned, conceding that she had authorised the leak to protect her office from false accusations that it was needlessly persecuting innocent soldiers merely carrying out their duty against Hamas operatives. She then disappeared, raising fears about her possible suicide. Fortunately, Tomer-Yerushalmi later resurfaced, only to be taken into custody herself. She is currently under investigation both for leaking the video and for lying to the Supreme Court about its provenance.

Jewish Insider: Israel concerned about the possibility of a “not good deal”

March 24, 2026/6 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

Again reflecting the basic difference between what Trump wants (a short war and an off ramp where he could declare victory) and what Israel wants (regime change, etc.)

From Jewish Insider‘s daily email:

“We will safeguard our vital interests under all circumstances,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday, hours after President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would suspend strikes on Iranian energy facilities to start negotiations.

In a Hebrew video statement, Netanyahu tried to reassure the Israeli public that the war would end in a way that made the previous three weeks — in which they, not Americans, ran with their children to bomb shelters multiple times a day — worth it. He vowed that Israel would be “continuing to strike in both Iran and Lebanon.”

“Earlier today, I spoke with our friend, President Trump,” Netanyahu said. “President Trump believes there is an opportunity to leverage the tremendous achievements we have reached alongside the U.S. military to realize the goals of the war through an agreement, an agreement that will safeguard our vital interests.”

Behind the scenes, however, the phone call was not enough to reassure Jerusalem that Washington had its interests in mind, and Netanyahu dispatched his closest advisor, Ron Dermer, to deter the Trump administration from reaching a “not good” deal, Israel’s Channel 12 reported.

Note the word choice: “not good.” If negotiations are genuine and this is not another mind game by the Trump administration, Israeli officials were not so optimistic in their briefings to Jewish Insider and Israeli media as to say there could be a good outcome from a deal that, de facto, would continue to recognize the mullahs’ regime — but perhaps a disaster could be averted.

Netanyahu used the term “vital interests” twice in his statement. The top interest on Dermer’s list is ensuring that the 440 kg of highly enriched uranium, the material that Iran boasted to White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff was enough for 11 bombs, would be removed from Iran. According to Ynet, Witkoff made this demand clear, raising his voice on the phone to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi before the latter’s first overture last week to return to the negotiating table.
