Israeli prime minister rejects Trump’s 15-point plan for Gaza

from MEMO

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday rejected a 15-point plan approved by US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace for Gaza, insisting that Israeli forces will not withdraw from the Palestinian territory until Hamas is disarmed, Anadolu reports.

“Israel rejects the 15-point document published by the Board of Peace for Gaza,” Netanyahu said in a video statement after the start of a Cabinet meeting, as cited by the daily Yedioth Ahronoth.

“The Israeli army will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is disarmed,” he added.

The Israeli premier said the disarmament must include “the heavy weapons, the less heavy weapons,” claiming that Israel wants “real disarmament, not fake disarmament.”

He said Israel is holding talks with the US on the issue, adding that Washington has proposed several ideas, “some of them are acceptable to us and some are not acceptable to us.”

​​​​​​​The rejection came after the Board of Peace released a draft agreement on 31 July outlining principles and implementation mechanisms for the next phase of Trump’s Gaza plan. The draft includes security, administrative and transitional arrangements for the enclave, as well as a proposed political track.

Hamas reaffirms commitment to Gaza deal, urges phase 2 implementation

from al Mayadeen English

The Palestinian Islamic Resistance movement Hamas reaffirmed its commitment to the understandings reached with mediators and the so-called "Peace Board" regarding the roadmap for completing the implementation of the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

In a statement released on Sunday, Hamas said it remained committed to responsibly implementing the agreed terms under the 15 provisions and establishing a clear timetable for their implementation.

“The priority at this stage must be to ensure the implementation of the agreement in all its phases and obligations,” Hamas said, stressing that this should lead to a complete ceasefire and an end to attacks against the Palestinian people.

The movement said the process should also include the completion of the withdrawal, the opening of crossings, the entry of humanitarian aid and shelter supplies, the launch of reconstruction efforts, and enabling the National Committee to begin carrying out its duties...

Iran sets six conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz

(Yep. No hope for peace since #2 will be vetoed by Glorious Israel.) 

from Tehran Times

Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr has set out six conditions for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, saying the strategic waterway will remain closed until the United States changes its hostile conduct toward Iran. 

In a message released on Saturday, Zolqadr said, “Until America corrects its behavior, the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened.”

He outlined six measures that would constitute a change in US policy toward the country:

1. End threats and insults against Iran, including any threats to the country’s national and religious sanctities.
2. Permanently end the war and aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq.
3. Lift the naval blockade and withdraw US military forces, including naval and air forces, from around Iran.
4. Fully compensate Iran for damages caused by 'two wars of aggression and imposition.'
5. Lift all “unjust and illegal” sanctions imposed on the Iranian people.
6. Unconditionally release Iranian assets that were blocked and stolen.

The senior security official said the six points represented the demands of the Iranian people, who had expressed their position through an ongoing presence “on the battlefield and in the streets” for 160 days.

“The Supreme National Security Council will never back down, neither in war nor in negotiations,” Zolqadr said.

His statement comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts concerning arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz, a vital international shipping corridor whose reopening has become a central issue in discussions involving Iran, Oman and other regional and international actors.

 

Trump Threatens ‘Leakers’ With Jail Time Over Reports About Munitions Shortages

from AntiWar

President Trump on Thursday threatened “leakers” with jail time over reports about dwindling US military stockpiles as a result of the Iran war, and claimed the US had plenty of munitions available.

“The US has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’ especially of certain types. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the US as needed,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country’s history. The ‘leakers’ of these treasonous statements are being hunted down,” the president added.

Some of the most significant reports about the shortage of advanced munitions didn’t come from media reports but from analyses published by the think tank the Center for International Studies (CSIS), which used publicly available data to produce its estimates...

When the coloniser calls resistance terrorism

(This is why these fascists seek to brand any resistance from at home as 'far left political terrorism' as they simultaneously attempt to destroy any and all institutions who monitor and uphold international law.)

from MEMO

Throughout history, almost every national liberation struggle has been labelled “terrorism” by the powers exercising colonial rule or foreign occupation. This strategy is nothing new.

The British Empire branded IRA fighters in Ireland and EOKA guerrillas in Cyprus as terrorists. France portrayed Algeria’s National Liberation Front (FLN) as a criminal organisation. The same happened to the Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO), the People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), the South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO) in Namibia, and even Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress (ANC).

History, however, vindicated these movements and condemned the colonial regimes that sought to perpetuate their domination.

This pattern reveals a constant: those who occupy a territory seek to strip the occupied people of any legitimacy to resist.

This narrative, however, encounters clear limits within international law itself.

From the United Nations Charter to Resolution 1514 (XV) on decolonisation and Resolution 2625 (XXV), which reaffirms the principle of peoples’ self-determination, the understanding has been consolidated that peoples subjected to colonial domination, foreign occupation or racist regimes have the right to struggle for their liberation.

Several subsequent resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly recognised the legitimacy of national liberation movements and acknowledged that such resistance may take the form of armed struggle, provided that it remains subject to the rules of international humanitarian law.

This is precisely why the international community has never automatically equated national liberation movements with terrorist organisations. 

However, it does not eliminate the political and legal right of a people to resist occupation. Confusing these two dimensions serves only the interests of occupying powers, because it transforms a conflict of a political and legal nature into a mere policing matter.

The history of the so-called “State of Israel” itself exposes this contradiction...

STOP Project 2025 Subject-by-Subject Breakdown of Project 2025

by Scott Creighton 

What follows the break is Zoe Lofgren's STOP Project 2025 Subject-by-Subject Breakdown of Project 2025. It is located on her website in PDF form so I copied the whole thing and posted it here for you to more easily access. 

However, it will take me a while to clean it up so it's easier to read. But you can still read it now and understand it. The format isn't completely messed up.

It's important to note, everything that has happened thus far in the Trump administration is detailed, in advance, in this document which was published BEFORE Trump took office.

This is all part of a plan to completely privatize the government of the United States of America for the benefit of Big Business and billionaires. 

I will continue working to clean it up as I have time. 

Senate Democrats Push Bill to Ban Paid Early Access to Trump Posts

(A machine readable advanced notice of Trump's foreign policy announcements, even if they are only milliseconds ahead of his standard announcements, would prove extremely profitable for algorithmic and high-frequency trading firms who's AI systems would be able to instantly calculate the best trades or shorts to generate untold profits from the information. Whether it takes place days or milliseconds in advance, with AI high-frequency trading being the norm these days, it's still insider trading being sold as a subscription service by the guy sitting behind the Resolute desk in the White House.)

from Legis1

A Democratic-led push would prohibit companies from selling prioritized access to government officials’ social media posts, targeting Trump Media & Technology Group’s new Truth API service and the information advantage it offers institutional investors.

Truth API provides financial institutions, news organizations and high-frequency trading firms with a direct, machine-readable feed of posts from President Donald Trump and other influential Truth Social accounts. Access reportedly costs between $60,000 and $100,000 per month. The service went live Aug. 1 and delivers posts within milliseconds, potentially allowing trading algorithms to respond before most investors receive push notifications or manually refresh the platform.

The service does not provide posts before they are publicly published. Trump Media says the posts are public when they enter the API, while critics argue the speed advantage still creates a two-tiered system for access to potentially market-moving presidential communications. 

Senate Democrats argue that allowing the president’s company to charge for faster delivery of statements about tariffs, military actions, companies and other matters affecting financial markets creates conflicts of interest and could undermine market integrity. The legislation would restrict the purchase, sale or exchange of prioritized information derived from government officials’ social media communications. 

Truth API was announced July 16 and became available to institutional customers Aug. 1. Trump Media described it as a licensed, real-time data feed designed for organizations most affected by delays in receiving information, including algorithmic and high-frequency trading firms. The company said it had signed customers before the launch.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) introduced S. 5221 on Aug. 3 with Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CN), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Gary Peters (D-MI) as original cosponsors, according to the Legis1 bill record. The proposal would prohibit transactions involving nonpublic or prioritized information derived from government officials’ social media accounts.

The measure has been introduced but has not advanced through a committee hearing or vote. I could not independently verify any official Senate announcement scheduling it for floor consideration...
