— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱 The pager attacks, marking the first time widely distributed electronic devices were used for terrorism via the infiltration of supply chains on such a scale, infamously became a source of pride for Israelis, to the point that Israeli leaders and their supporters started threatening their opponents with 'pagers,' such as former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who threatened American university students while on U.S. soil

The CEO of the Israeli lobby Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said the kind of 'genius' in the pager attacks should be used to fight against 'antisemitism.'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally gifted President Trump a gold-plated model of the exact same 'Apollo' pager that was used in the attacks, and U.S. Senator John Fetterman received a silver one. (!)

The gold-plated pager remains on President Trump's desk in the Oval Office.

— 🇸🇾/🇮🇱 NEW: Human Rights Watch has published a report on Israeli war crimes in Syria, beginning with the invasion of Syria after the fall of the Syrian Arab Republic in December 2024

Israeli forces occupying southern Syria have, on numerous occasions, demolished the homes of civilians, forcibly displaced them, kidnapped them, and prevented farmers from accessing their agricultural lands.

Several Syrian civilians, including a child, were kidnapped and taken to Israel, where they are held incommunicado without charge.

Buildings have been razed to the ground to make room for new Israeli military bases in southern Syria, which have only become more fortified since December, despite talks of a 'security agreement' with Syria.

A Syrian civilian interviewed recalled the extent of abuse from Israeli soldiers: 'They entered our village, pointed their weapons at us, and shouted in Hebrew. Out of fear, I fled the house with my children; we didn’t even take any clothes with us. We left everything behind.'

Another woman said that Israeli soldiers pointed weapons at her and her daughters and occupied their house for four hours, threatening the family and not allowing them to do anything before ordering them to leave without taking anything. Additionally, Israeli soldiers unleashed dogs on Syrian women during these encounters.

Israeli forces have not allowed the displaced Syrians to return to their homes, even those that have not been demolished.

Other residents reported Israeli soldiers stealing their belongings.

Israeli soldiers have gone as far as bulldozing and removing trees in the areas they occupy, as well as killing livestock, strategies similar to those they employ in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

— 🇬🇧/🇺🇸 NEW: As President Trump visited the United Kingdom, thousands of Britons protested against his visit, including by projecting photos of him with Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle, where he met with King Charles

Additionally, memes of Vice President JD Vance's face were printed on beach balls and thrown around.

The United Kingdom has reportedly secured a historic £150 billion of 'inward investment' from American companies, including Boeing and Palantir.

President Trump claimed that the United States and United Kingdom, 'have done more good for humanity than any two countries of all of history.'

— 🇺🇸 NEW: President Trump says he will designate 'Antifa' (Antifascist Action) as a 'major terrorist organization'

Previously, in May 2020, Trump made a similar statement, but it did not lead to any results.
