The judgment here is final, the money has already been disbursed, and Carroll is entitled to keep it."

The detestable Israeli Death Forces (IDF) killed 12 Palestinians in Gaza City on Tuesday, including the entire al-Masri family (Firas, Salsabeel, three daughters, one son) while they slept without a chance to surrender. The murderous IDF continues its constant violations of the US-backed so-called ceasefire deal, which only disarmed Palestinian resistance fighters " not the serial killers of the Middle East.

Despite the fact that the US launched the billion dollar a day illegal war against Iran "at the request" of Israel, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated his country won't waste soldiers or money attacking Iran. "Israel's less visible role was "a blessing for Israelis" since it "reduces the risk of casualties and allows daily life to continue largely as normal, without midnight sirens, trips to bomb shelters, or major disruptions."
