<p>On Wednesday morning, the Palestinian Information Center, which has been <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/06/palestinian-authority-blocks-eleven-news-websites-170615182034425.html">affiliated with Hamas</a>, was up to its <a href="http://www.israellycool.com/2017/11/27/palestinian-information-center-caught-in-yet-another-lie/">usual</a> <a href="http://www.israellycool.com/2018/01/25/palestinian-information-center-dredges-up-old-photo-to-tell-a-lie/">tricks</a>, lying again, this time with a lie that was truly ludicrous and egregious.</p>
<p>The Palestinian Information Center tweeted a photo of actress Katherine Heigl, identifying her as a &#8220;French doctor&#8221; who traveled to Gaza &#8220;to offer medical help.&#8221;</p>

Palestinian Information Center Tweets A Hilarious Lie

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Videos of emaciated Israeli hostages — who were seized in the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre of over 1200 Israelis — surfaced on Friday, pointing out the irony of world criticism of Israel for allegedly starving Gazans while Islamist terror groups make no bones about starving their victims.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Footage of hostages <a href="https://x.com/OliLondonTV/status/1951320589857095798">Evyatar David</a> and <a href="https://x.com/amjadt25/status/1951065466421518569">Rom Braslavski</a> was released by Islamic Jihad and Hamas, showing their skeletal condition.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“A hostage in Gaza, tortured and starved by Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists, was filmed in agony,” he continued. “If you can watch that footage and still call it ‘resistance,’ then you’ve buried your humanity long ago. This is not a liberation movement; it is a cult of cruelty. Islamists don’t build nations. They build cages, graves, and propaganda. This is not justice. It is modern-day Nazism, with the camera rolling like they were proud of it, while the United Nations stays silent, too afraid to speak. This is not just evil. It is a performance of evil, endorsed by silence, applauded by cowards, and excused by fake activists. Shame on every self-righteous fool who celebrates this.

‘Cult Of Cruelty’: Ghastly Photos, Videos Of Emaciated Israeli Hostages Released By Gaza Terrorists

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Scientists at the University of Florida in Gainesville are developing a universal cancer vaccine designed to target cancer cells already forming in the body. The vaccine could be especially effective against some of the deadliest cancers, including pancreatic and ovarian cancer.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The problem in the past has been that because cancers tend to be specific to each person, a cancer vaccine would have to be tailored for that specific individual rather than a one-size-fits-all vaccine, and in the time spent to create a personal vaccine, the cancer could mutate.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It can be months from the time you get a patient&#8217;s specimen to when they actually have a personalized therapy,” study senior author and pediatric oncologist Dr. Elias Sayour said, as Live Science <a href="https://www.livescience.com/health/cancer/universal-cancer-vaccine-heading-to-human-trials-could-be-useful-for-all-forms-of-cancer">reports</a>. “The idea that something could be available immediately, albeit in a nonspecific way … could be revolutionary for how we bridge therapy and how we manage patients.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The experimental vaccine was discussed in the journal <a style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;" href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=92X1590019&amp;xcust=livescience_us_1632594187414033690&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fs41551-025-01380-1&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.livescience.com%2Fhealth%2Fcancer%2Funiversal-cancer-vaccine-heading-to-human-trials-could-be-useful-for-all-forms-of-cancer" data-analytics-id="inline-link" data-url="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41551-025-01380-1" data-hl-processed="skimlinks" data-placeholder-url="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=92X1590019&amp;xcust=hawk-custom-tracking&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fs41551-025-01380-1&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.livescience.com%2Fhealth%2Fcancer%2Funiversal-cancer-vaccine-heading-to-human-trials-could-be-useful-for-all-forms-of-cancer" data-google-interstitial="false" data-merchant-name="nature.com" data-merchant-network="SkimLinks" data-mrf-recirculation="[Livescience] Article - Inline Link" data-mrf-link="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=92X1590019&amp;xcust=livescience_us_4664427368791827916&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fs41551-025-01380-1&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.livescience.com%2Fhealth%2Fcancer%2Funiversal-cancer-vaccine-heading-to-human-trials-could-be-useful-for-all-forms-of-cancer" data-custom-tracking-id="1632594187414033690" data-hawk-tracked="hawklinks" data-label="Nature Biomedical Engineering">Nature Biomedical Engineering</a>; the abstract stated, “Our findings show that the resistance of tumors to immunotherapy is dictated by the absence of a damage response, which can be restored by boosting early type-I interferon responses to enable epitope spreading and self-amplifying responses in treatment-refractory tumors.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The experimental vaccine is built on mRNA that triggers cells to produce new proteins, and hopes to strengthen the body to create more type-I interferons, which can locate cancerous tumors.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Sayour explained that cancer can impede interferon signals and block anti-cancer immune responses, so the experimental vaccine could catalyze an immune “reset.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“I personally think this can be used for all forms of cancer,” Sayour stated. “I believe this is a universal paradigm that can be used to treat cancer,” adding that the vaccine could stop a relapse of the cancer after remission.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“This exciting and novel paper shows promising evidence that giving the immune system a short, targeted boost at just the right time can help previously unresponsive tumors respond to immunotherapy,&#8221; Diana Azzam, from the Center for Advancing Personalized Cancer Treatments at Florida International University, said. “This approach could be especially helpful for ‘cold’ tumors — types of cancer that usually don&#8217;t trigger a strong immune response, like pancreatic, ovarian, and some types of breast cancer.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Sayour and his colleagues have <a style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;" href="https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05660408" data-analytics-id="inline-link" data-url="https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05660408" data-hl-processed="none" data-mrf-recirculation="[Livescience] Article - Inline Link" data-mrf-link="https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05660408" data-custom-tracking-id="3743527965317849267" data-hawk-tracked="hawklinks" data-google-interstitial="false" data-label="launched a human trial testing a two-hit approach">launched a human trial testing a two-hit approach</a>: an off-the-shelf cancer vaccine followed by a personalized one,” Live Science noted. “This approach saves valuable time needed for personalized vaccinations and may induce rapid immunity that can be further seized upon by personalized therapy,&#8221; Sayour asserted.</p>

Breakthrough Cancer Vaccine In The Works At University of Florida

<p>China is reportedly using a “dark fleet” to conduct secret ship-to-ship transfers of Iranian oil in an effort to evade U.S. sanctions on Tehran’s tankers.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/china-iran-us-sanctions-dark-fleet/">CBS News</a> sent a crew to scout an area roughly 80 nautical miles from Singapore and found four ship-to-ship transfers occurring; all the “dark fleet” tankers had their transponders switched off, and “clearly do not want to be identified,” the outlet reported.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Both ships have a net or something, a tarp, deployed over the stern, covering the name and identification number — it’s obvious deceptive practice,” Charlie Brown, senior adviser with United Against Nuclear Iran and advisor to the Trump administration, who has been studying the “dark fleet” for years, stated.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“This is ‘dark fleet’ parking central,” he commented, calling one ship, the Tifani, “a well-known ‘dark fleet’ tanker.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The tankers, full of oil, sail from the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Malacca to the Riau archipelago,” CBS News noted. “There, they transfer the crude to ships bound for China, which buys 90% of Iran’s oil. &#8230; According to a congressional report last year, this trade generated as much as $70 billion for Iran, propping up the regime and its nuclear weapons program. &#8230; By the end of the day, 12 ship-to-ship transfers were recorded in the Riau archipelago — an unprecedented number and a clear indication Iran and China are only ramping up this illicit activity.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Wednesday, in its most significant Iran-related action since 2018, the Treasury Department imposed <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0215">new sanctions</a> on more than 50 individuals and entities and identified more than 50 vessels that are part of the vast shipping empire controlled by Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani (Hossein). Hossein is the son of Ali Shamkhani, a top political advisor to the Supreme Leader of Iran.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The Shamkhani family’s shipping empire highlights how the Iranian regime elites leverage their positions to accrue massive wealth and fund the regime’s dangerous behavior,” Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent stated. “The over 115 sanctions issued today are the largest to-date since the Trump Administration implemented our campaign of maximum pressure on Iran. These actions put America first by targeting regime elites that profit while Tehran threatens the safety of the United States.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Hossein’s network exerts control over a significant portion of Iran’s crude oil exports, the proceeds of which substantially benefit his family and the Iranian regime,” the Treasury Department declared. “His father, Ali Shamkhani was <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm870">previously sanctioned by the U.S. in 2020</a>.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani’s (Hossein) network comprises a vast fleet of vessels, ship management firms, and front companies—some posing as legitimate financial services firms—that launder billions in profits from global sales of Iranian and Russian crude oil and other petroleum products, most often to buyers in China,” the Treasury Department added. “The network employs significant measures to disguise its operations and obfuscate its ties to the Shamkhani family, Iran, and Russia.”</p>

Secret Transfers: China’s ‘Dark Fleet’ Helps Iran Sneak Oil Past U.S. Sanctions

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Speaking on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), the third-highest ranking GOP senator who serves as the chairman of the Senate Republican Conference and chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, delivered a blistering speech in which he denounced critics of Israel around the world and in the U.S. Senate, who he said side with Hamas and propagandize to help the terrorist organization.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Hamas is on the verge of defeat so it’s cranked up the propaganda machine once again,&#8221; he began. &#8220;Now Hamas wants the world to believe that Israel has undertaken a campaign of deliberate starvation of the Gazan population, and as usual, Hamas can count on an international media and political chorus to fight their battles for them and try to bully Israel in submission.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Israel has helped bring into Gaza approximately 96,000 trucks containing nearly one and a half million tons of food, 46,000 tons of medical supplies, 60,000 tons of water and around 170,000 tons of shelter equipment,&#8221; he noted. &#8220;Put simply: Children aren’t going hungry because of lack of supplies from Israel; they’re suffering because Hamas uses food and humanitarian aid as a weapon to stay in power.&#8221;</p>
<p>Slamming members of the Senate who have used photos of Gazan children to buttress their attacks on Israel, Cotton asserted, &#8220;&#8216;Gullible&#8217; might be a charitable way to describe their motives, much like The New York Times buying hook, line, and sinker, the images of Gazan children afflicted with terrible diseases, but passed off as malnourished.&#8221; He then displayed photos of the massive amount of pallets of food simply waiting to be distributed to the people of Gaza, noting they are &#8220;are sitting and baking in the hot sun instead of feeding hungry kids. While the situation is shocking, it’s not all surprising; after all, Hamas’ infiltration of UN aid mechanisms is well-documented. Time and again, we have seen Hamas terrorists divert shipments to themselves or loot delivery trucks, only to resell the supplies on the black market at outrageous prices. Last year, this terrorist-infiltrated aid system managed by the UN and others allowed Hamas to rake in more than half a billion dollars in profit, profits that fund Hamas’ campaign of terror against Israel and its own people.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;How critical is this systematic theft to Hamas’ grip on power?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;Well, one of Hamas’s chief demands in recent cease-fire negotiations has been the dismantling of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a new charity created specifically to end Hamas’s stranglehold on aid and supplies. The foundation has even offered to distribute UN aid for free, despite the risk to its own people. And much of this aid, which is sitting in the sun and partly taxpayer-funded, is already inside Gaza; it simply needs to be picked up and distributed. But the offer has fallen on deaf ears because Hamas uses humanitarian aid as a tool to fund, facilitate and fight its war against innocent children, against Israel, against the civilized world. And Hamas’s cheerleaders, apologists, and dupes in Europe and America, and sadly, here in the U.S. Senate, once again, turn a blind eye to Hamas’ crimes, blaming instead Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. They demand that Israel agree to a cease-fire that preserves and rewards Hamas, while also delivering even more humanitarian aid to Gaza for Hamas to steal and exploit. They expect Israel to feed the very people who attacked, raped, and murdered innocent Israeli men, women, and children on October 7. And I would remind everyone, not a few American victims as well.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Turning to history, Cotton — who deployed to both Afghanistan and Iraq and served in combat units including the 506th Infantry Regiment and the 101st Airborne — commented, &#8220;Once again, Israel is facing demands placed on no other nation in the world. I don’t recall from my history lessons, for instance, the United States providing humanitarian aid in Germany and Japan in World War II. On the contrary, the Allies imposed naval blockades that led to widespread shortages in those enemy nations. When in the annals of history has the victim of an unprovoked war of aggression ever been held responsible for the nutrition of the aggressor? Put simply, Israel doesn’t have any responsibility to send a single loaf of bread to Gaza. I wonder why so many senators, pundits, podcasters and European politicians impose this unique standard on the Jewish nation?&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Why could it be?&#8221; he asked bluntly.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;But despite all that, despite the brutal slaughter of nearly 1200 Israelis on October 7, despite Hamas’ continued repression of its own people, Israel is still delivering aid to Gaza while Hamas rips it from the hands of hungry children,&#8221; he pointed out. &#8220;Once again we see very simply and very clearly in this war who is on the side of justice and who is on the side of evil. And I would ask anyone who places these singular demands on Israel: Whose side do you want to be on? And if you truly care about the children in Gaza, as I do, as Israelis do, as any decent person surely does, I would encourage you to support President Trump’s statement of moral clarity and strength from earlier this morning: &#8216;The fastest way to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is for Hamas to surrender and release the hostages.'&#8221;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Wall Street Journal accepted investment from Qatar and ran a series of articles extolling the country, which hosted the leaders of Hamas during the October massacre of roughly 1200 Israelis and has been spending billions of dollars around the world to promote its image.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The ad, titled, “<a href="https://partners.wsj.com/invest-qatar/eye-on-qatar/?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=ASWzDAjhwPIajmZRdPSebZJ1wwjCbxg6giJRcQIFAV4IWJNJqNs30hT9pRmXT0x2mQU%3D&amp;gaa_ts=688b9b67&amp;gaa_sig=dBM6OY2TM54kSy07Cl6QLiw3GOi3iiP9k191RlV3S96sLNVv7viIMNKdDZ-DAdqkF9RPfesNeUUqPp5iY_KOUA%3D%3D">Eye on Qatar,”</a> features articles with titles such as “<a href="https://partners.wsj.com/qatar-investment-authority/building-an-investment-ready-ecosystem/creating-a-global-vc-hub-in-the-gcc/">Qatar’s billion-dollar vision: creating a global vc hub in the gcc</a>,” “<a href="https://partners.wsj.com/invest-qatar/eye-on-qatar/why-global-companies-are-setting-up-here/">The future of business in Qatar: why global companies are setting up here</a>,” “<a href="https://partners.wsj.com/media-city-qatar/eye-on-qatar/building-the-next-global-media-capital/">Media city Qatar’s chairman on building the next global media capital,”</a> and “<a href="https://partners.wsj.com/invest-qatar/eye-on-qatar/inside-qatars-startup-boom/">Innovation on the rise: inside qatar’s startup boom</a>.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2008, the Al-Qaradawi Center for Islamic Studies at Qatar Foundation in Education City, Doha, Qatar, part of the state-led Qatar Foundation&#8217;s College of Islamic Studies, was opened. It was named after the violently antisemitic Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the cleric who in 2009 <a href="https://www.adl.org/sites/default/files/Sheik-Yusuf-al-Qaradawi-2013-5-3-v1.pdf">called</a> for God to kill all Jews, “down to the very last one.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The mother of Qatar’s emir and chair of the Qatar Foundation, Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, <a href="https://x.com/thestustustudio/status/1945247695507218533">wrote on social media</a> that the Jews would disappear from Israel as she praised Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas terrorist who masterminded the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre, “The name Yahya means the one who lives. They thought him dead, but he lives… He will live on. And they will be gone.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) released a study in 2019 showing the existence of substantial Middle Eastern funding (primarily from Qatar) to American universities that had not been reported to the Department of Education, as required by law. “In fact, ISGAP’s research uncovered billions of dollars of unreported funds, which, in turn, led to the launch of a federal government investigation in 2019,” the organization noted. “Georgetown University has received approximately $1.073 billion from Qatar since establishing its Qatar campus in 2005, with credible evidence of underreporting to the U.S. Department of Education,” ISGAP <a href="https://isgap.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FTM-GEORGETOWN-REPORT-2025-05-23-1.pdf">noted</a> this year.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2012, Qatar pledged $400 million to Hamas and the Gaza Strip, and an estimated $1.8 billion since 2012, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies <a href="https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2025/07/13/reckoning-needed-between-terror-sponsoring-qatar-and-united-states/">reported</a>, adding:</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>In 2019, Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh reportedly told Qatar’s foreign minister that Doha was “<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/10/world-news/qatar-and-hamas-tried-to-thwart-deal-of-the-century-trump-peace-deal-report/">Hamas’s main artery</a>” for fundraising. Haniyeh wrote to then-Hamas Gaza chief, Yahya Sinwar, in 2021 <a href="https://www.thejc.com/news/israel/seized-documents-qatar-funded-hamas-disrupted-gaza-peace-n76tlkv8">to tell him</a> that Qatar’s emir had “agreed in principle to supply the resistance discreetly,” and that $11 million had already “been raised from the emir for the leadership of the movement.”</em></p>

Wall Street Journal Publishes Pro-Qatar Content Paid For By Doha

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Speaking at his government’s weekly press conference, Kristen Michal, Prime Minister of Estonia, said his country has <a href="https://news.err.ee/1609759785/prime-minister-estonia-has-no-plans-to-recognize-palestine">no plans to recognize a Palestinian state</a> at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Wednesday, 15 countries signed a joint declaration calling for the recognition of a Palestinian state when the UNGA convenes its annual regular sessions. President Donald Trump has stated that he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-warns-against-rewarding-hamas-with-palestinian-statehood-bluntly-rejects-two-state-solution">would not support</a> such a move.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Today there is no state to recognize,” Michal declared. “Of course, we are doing everything we can within the European Union to resolve the critical humanitarian situation as quickly as possible. But from our point of view, there is currently no state to additionally recognize.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Israel was one of the first countries to recognize Estonia&#8217;s independence in 1991. Estonia joined the European Union in 2004 and was one of 38 countries that <a href="https://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/news/38-countries-boycott-antisemitic-durban-iv-conference">boycotted</a> the vehemently anti-Israel World Conference Against Racism in Durban in 2021. Israeli and Estonian government officials have frequently visited each other’s countries for the last 24 years.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Last December, the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) <a href="https://news.err.ee/1609553287/estonian-art-academy-severs-cooperation-with-israeli-partner-college">canceled a workshop</a> with a visiting Israeli professor, adding that it would not cooperate with any Israeli higher education institutions. Outgoing EKA director Mart Kalm stated, “It has appeared to be wiser for us to refrain from this at the moment&#8230;. Israeli universities know the prevailing sentiments, so this was not a surprise to them.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">But Michal immediately <a href="https://news.err.ee/1609553581/prime-minister-university-will-have-to-revisit-its-decision-regarding-israel">criticized</a> the decision, saying, &#8220;I believe the academy should reconsider this decision.” Estonian Minister of Foreign Affairs Margus Tsahkna added, “As foreign minister, I see no reason why we should stop cooperation with Israel at this level. I can&#8217;t comment on what the atmosphere is like in this educational institution, but as foreign minister, I can only say that this is definitely a step in the wrong direction.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Former Estonian Minister of Education Jaak Aaviksoo echoed, “I don&#8217;t know about the internal atmosphere, although I do know that there are these kinds of very radical left-wing activists there and giving in to their incomprehensible demands is the core of the problem for me.”</p>
