@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇮🇱🇵🇸 Asked whether he would block the creation of a PALESTINIAN STATE, NETANYAHU didn't even bother pretending otherwise. “I have been blocking it.” And when pressed about continuing, he argued that Palestinian statehood would mean the end of Israel as a Jewish state. “We have to be crazy to do it.” That's quite a thing to hear while world leaders are still talking about a two-state solution.

@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇺🇸🇮🇷🇺🇦 General Ben Hodges: America is preparing for another round with Iran while Ukraine is being left exposed. I spoke with retired U.S. Army General Ben Hodges about two wars that are putting American foreign policy under enormous strain. Reports suggest Washington is sending a third aircraft carrier and thousands of additional personnel to the Middle East. Hodges believes that kind of buildup goes well beyond diplomatic pressure. He suspects another operation against Iran is being prepared, potentially after the U.S. midterms. And he thinks the Iran war was a catastrophic mistake. But our sharpest disagreement came over Ukraine. Hodges accused the Trump administration of pressuring Zelensky into accepting territorial concessions, pointing to reports of delayed Patriot deliveries and allegations of withheld intelligence. I pushed back on his argument that Ukraine could still recover all its territory. Not because I believe Russia should keep it, but because any realistic strategy has to account for how Putin might respond to losing it. Hodges wasn't having it. He believes the West has never seriously committed the resources needed for Ukraine to win. What concerns me is that America may be preparing to intensify one war while its commitments in another are becoming increasingly uncertain. And with NATO now reinforcing surveillance in the Black Sea after attacks on civilian shipping, neither conflict is becoming easier to contain. @general_ben ♥ 292
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇧🇷 Lula: “A woman cannot work six days a week and rest for one, because on that day she has to clean the house.” What? 💀 Writer: Samuel https://t.co/7gskpOjkVf ♥ 767
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇮🇱🇱🇧🇮🇷 Apparently, there's still MORE WAR to fight before Netanyahu can deliver his promised peace: “We will also have peace with Lebanon. But we must complete the elimination of the Iranian regime.” Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes continue hitting southern Lebanon, leaving destruction behind even after a ceasefire was reached. Netanyahu keeps talking about PEACE while military operations continue across the region. So what exactly is his vision of peace for Lebanon? Reducing it all to rubble first?

@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇺🇸 AOC HAS OVERTAKEN GAVIN NEWSOM IN THE RACE FOR THE 2028 DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION Polymarket's latest chart shows Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 16.2%, narrowly ahead of Newsom at 15.8%. Jon Ossoff is right behind them at 14.8%, despite publicly saying he has no interest in running. And Kamala Harris' sitting at just 6.5% More than $1.29 BILLION in trading volume, and the top three are separated by less than two percentage points. The Democrats don't even have a clear betting-market favorite yet. Writer: Oliver ♥ 36
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇮🇱🇹🇷 Could TURKEY be Israel's next target for a preemptive strike? Netanyahu was directly asked what it would take for Israel to strike Türkiye under his new security doctrine. His answer? He pointed to Israel's previous strikes on Iran, then refused to reveal which countries could be targeted next. When pressed again, he simply said: “I'm not going to itemize the application of these principles.” Writer: Sol https://t.co/rSEAKRGI90 ♥ 86
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇸🇦 Abdullah Alaoudh says the war is starting to reach ordinary Saudis even when the missiles don’t. After the airport strike, warnings and alerts returned, bringing the sense of danger back into daily life. And he thinks that matters politically. People may blame the Houthis, but Alaoudh says they can also start blaming their own government for dragging the country deeper into the conflict. The darker part of his argument is what happens to anyone inside Saudi Arabia who openly objects. He says even mild criticism from tribal leaders can bring prison or worse, and recalls MBS telling his father that if forced to choose between being loved or feared, he would choose fear. That keeps dissent quiet. It doesn’t mean the anger isn’t there. @aalodah ♥ 36
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇷🇴🇧🇬 NATO is sending more aircraft, drones and radar systems into the BLACK SEA Seven sailors went missing after two tankers caught fire off Romania last week. At least five other ships had already been attacked nearby, leaving another 23 sailors dead or missing. These are commercial ships with ordinary crews trying to do their jobs. Now NATO is bringing in more patrol aircraft, radar systems and surveillance drones, along with specialists to examine the explosives. Russia is the main suspect, although NATO hasn't formally blamed Moscow. And some of these incidents have already happened inside Romanian territorial waters. That's the part worth paying attention to. We're no longer talking about attacks somewhere off Ukraine's coast. This is happening in the waters of NATO countries.

@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇸🇦🇦🇪🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia may be getting help in Yemen from the one partner it has spent years looking down on. Abdullah Alaoudh says the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council is signaling that it is ready to fight the Houthis, and that its forces are among the more capable on the ground. But the support may come with a price. Alaoudh thinks the separatists are effectively telling Riyadh: if you want us fully in this war, recognize our demand for southern self-determination. That puts Saudi Arabia in an awkward position. It needs competent fighters. The fighters may want a new country in return. @aalodah ♥ 38
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇮🇱🇵🇸 The IDF says it killed one of the Hamas operatives involved in abducting Shani Louk on October 7. His name was Tamer Mohammad Ibrahim Al-Zabaq. According to Israel, he was still active in Gaza, helping Hamas rebuild and planning more attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers. And that's what makes this story particularly grim. Israel says a man involved in one of the most horrifying scenes of October 7 was still preparing for the next round, even with a ceasefire in place. Writer: Oliver https://t.co/iAOzrK6WEj ♥ 38
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇺🇸 Trump's approval ratings are reaching HISTORIC LOWS, and the numbers are getting downright BRUTAL. A Reuters/Ipsos poll puts him 35 POINTS UNDERWATER, with an astonishing MINUS 54 among independent voters. And it gets worse. Four separate polls show Trump at least 31 points underwater, worse than any previous president in October before a midterm election. Even Harry Truman, who was 30 points underwater, didn't sink this low. Writer: Sol https://t.co/iCEFffeHPN ♥ 351
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇺🇸 TRUMP JUST LOOKED AT THE CHAOS IN FRANCE AND DECIDED TO THROW $400 MILLION AT THE MIDTERMS Not kidding. Trump says more than $300 MILLION has already gone into advertising, rallies, voter outreach and election operations, with total spending set to exceed $400 million by Election Day. And he specifically cites what's happening in France and elsewhere in Europe as part of his reasoning. The man is watching Paris burn and apparently sees a $400 million American campaign commercial.

@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇮🇹 This is what the streets of Bologna, Italy looked like when protests over rising prices got out of hand People ended up fighting with the police, and more and more videos of it keep coming out. Hard to believe this is the same city tourists love. Europe's having a rough time. Writer: Daniyal https://t.co/wXXdyhKDTz ♥ 529
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇸🇦🇾🇪 Abdullah Alaoudh doesn’t think Mohammed bin Salman believes he can actually eliminate the Houthis. In his view, “victory” for MBS now means something much smaller: weaken the Houthis enough that they are no longer able to seriously threaten Saudi Arabia, then negotiate from a stronger position. Alaoudh thinks even that may be out of reach. His argument is that the current military approach keeps extending the war without changing the basic reality on the ground. “There is no winning either.” So Saudi Arabia may be stuck in the worst kind of war. Too costly to keep fighting. Too weak to end on the terms it wants. @aalodah ♥ 22
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇮🇹 A young man in Milan has had ABSOLUTELY ENOUGH of the rioters destroying his city. In a furious outburst, he demands that those responsible for the vandalism and looting be DEPORTED, while making it clear that he respects immigrants who come to Italy to work. “If you come here and destroy my country, GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY!” He says he's tired of watching his city get trashed and wants to reclaim the Milan his grandfather and great-grandfather helped build 🌚 Writer: Sol https://t.co/IcGxRvuFCx ♥ 177
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇫🇷 Police are dealing with looters on France's streets. A brief encounter with actual law enforcement was all it took for everyone to suddenly remember they had somewhere else to be. Writer: Oliver https://t.co/UlE21nc0iT ♥ 403
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇺🇿 Apparently, they treat hernias in Uzbekistan by using some sort of ass tourniquet device... I’m fairly certain I’ve seen this method used to torture someone before… minus the crotch pillow! Writer: Jamie https://t.co/wPjGeMqLe0 ♥ 38
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇺🇸 The WNBA has apparently told Congress that former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom (she/her) and Royce White cannot enter its draft because THEY'RE MEN Both had reportedly claimed to identify AS WOMEN When lawmakers asked WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert to DEFINE A WOMAN, she DECLINED to give a definition, saying only women can play. Two former NBA players have somehow turned a basketball eligibility dispute into a congressional debate over what a woman is. 😂 Writer: Oliver https://t.co/p31AYUnWzP ♥ 2,604
