The ACLU argues that the gag order placed on the corrupter in a civil trial about business fraud is too broad.

Israel says it will punish the UN by barring UN staff from visiting Israel. This is in response to Secretary General Guterres's mentioning Israel's long oppression of the Palestinians in Gaza.

This may provide Israel with the secondary coup of preventing UN staff from meeting with anyone in Gaza or the West Bank. Egypt could let them into Gaza; will it? Jordan has a bridge by which people can enter the West Bank, but the western side is controlled by Israel and it might block UN staff there too.

This step calls for international pressure on Israel.

Secretary General Guterres rebuked Israel for the bombardment and blockade of Gaza, which he rightly compared to "collective punishment of the Palestinian people".

Israel replied by falsely equating Guterres's support for international law to "support for terrorism", in its standard way. Its policy is to try to stop the rest of the world from recognizing, and saying that "Condemning HAMAS for its terrorism does not require us to condone the other war crimes, those that Israel is carrying out."

Likewise, *Israel must stop weaponizing the Holocaust.*

*Gaza hospitals ceasing to function as water and fuel run out.*

Israel could, and is morally obliged to, let them get the humanitarian supplies they need — and the rest of Gaza too.

Biden rebuked the fanatical "settlers" that systematically inflict violent pogroms on Palestinians in the West Bank, saying that they are "pouring gasoline on the fire."

It looks like the democratic victory in Poland is for real — the winning parties are ready to form a coalition and replace the right-wing religious authoritarian government.
