🔯 Smotrich wants to see Gaza-style carnage in the West Bank   "I think we need to go to war in Judea and Samaria, do there what we did in Gaza,” Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich told Hebrew-language media on Sunday. 🔊The Palestinian Authority is a “terrorist authority” and should be “dismantled,” Smotrich added. The politician accused Israel’s own Palestinian community of being devious traitors, “hiding” their true intentions and working “to accumulate power through legitimate civilian activities” to destroy Israel. 🗣“I would like us to annex at least as far as the yellow line in Gaza and as far as the Litani River in Lebanon, because a war that ends along the same lines where it began will not prevent the enemy from going to war again next time,” he added. In 2026, the West Bank has experienced violence of a scale and intensity never previously recorded by international monitors, seeing attacks, the occupation of land, burnings of crops, homes and mosques, theft of livestock, and cutoff of water sources. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

🚨🔍 Palantir cofounder says criticism of AI kill chain software over Iranian school attack is unfair   🔊“Obviously it was terrible what happened to those children and you do hold people responsible, but it could be the case that somebody made 99 really good choices and one bad choice and it led to a horrible thing,” venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale told a media forum in Austin. The billionaire also noted that it was “not clear” to him whether the IRGC might not have “purposely disguised” the school as one of its facilities, “the same way the Palestinians and others do.” Lonsdale’s assessment aside, the United Nations has concluded that the school in Minab was clearly identifiable, and that the strike may have constituted a war crime. Others have argued that it was clearly a war crime, given that the attack involved a “double-tap” strike – once to hit the school, and again 40 minutes later to target rescuers. Iranian content creators even suspect it was deliberate, symbolic child bloodletting ahead of the battle to come. As for Lonsdale, he is the least talked about of Palantir’s key cofounders, but his investment empire is just as impressively diabolical. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
