Pete Hegseth Gets It. The IDF Still Doesn’t.
On July 12, 1938, Arab gunmen ambushed and murdered Alexander Zaïd on a dirt road between two Jewish settlements in northern Palestine. The killer, Kasem Mahmud Tabbash, was already notorious — he had hammered a nail into his rifle stock for every Jew he’d slaughtered. Zaïd left behind a wife and four children. His blood cried out for justice. In 1942, a unit from the newly formed Palmach — the Haganah’s offensive strike force — tracked down Tabbash and his accomplices and executed them. Zaïd’s son Giora said his father’s blood was finally redeemed. Other Arab terrorists in the area fled. Even the local Arabs who remained took notice, telling the Zaïd family: “You are like the ancient Israelites — you are not harmed without punishment.”

Microsoft in Court Over Sneaky AI Practices in Australia
Microsoft has been taken to court for sneaking AI software into packages millions are already paying for – and then hiking the price. Australia’s competition watchdog alleges Microsoft added its AI assistant Copilot to existing packages, increased the subscription cost of the “AI-upgraded” plans, hid the cheaper AI-free “Classic” alternative, and indirectly pushed users into adopting the software at extra cost. Regardless of the trial’s outcome, we’re seeing a glimpse into the future direction of travel for tech giants: expand AI, add it for free to existing software, call it the new “standard”, charge more money, and make it difficult to opt out. Is this a sign of things to come?

Wrecking Ball Politics: Swalwell Calls for Destructive Pledge from Democratic Presidential Candidates
Previously, Swalwell mocked a female senator after she complained about being threatened by leftists. However, even on the Swalwell scale, it is hard to measure the depths of a member who calls for potential presidents to pledge to demolish the Trump ballroom as a litmus test for office.

In Lebanon, sexual abuse and economic abuse go hand in hand
Sexual exploitation of children in agriculture goes hand in hand with economic, social, and legal exploitation. “Farm laborer” isn’t even a legally recognized job — no contracts, health insurance, or days off. That’s if you’re talking about legal crops and if the laborer is Lebanese. What if the work is illegal, hidden in rural areas, controlled by tribal customs…and powerful figures from major clans? Ftoun recounts her painful story: “The first time I went to the field, I was 7. Within the first week, one of the older boys…tried to touch me in private places….My mother told me to keep quiet: “That’s the foreman’s son. We need to eat. If his father hears you, he’ll kick us out.’”
