Russell Brand posted and then deleted a completely fake document which he thought was from the newly released JFK files and proved British actress Penelope Keith, not Lee Harvey Oswald, killed JFK.

🚨 The US has imposed sanctions on the Israeli settler organisation 'Amana'. It's the most significant action against settlers in the West Bank since the start of the Gaza war - a move that will send shockwaves throughout the settler movement 🧵
Months after we first reported on Amana and their activities supporting settlers - the US has just sanctioned them. ofac.treasury.gov/recent-act…. If you want to know why they did it watch youtube.com/watch?v=fxLDYkX7…
If you want to know more about the settlement grp Amana sanctioned by UK we investigated them in youtu.be/fxLDYkX7l9A?si=qRCx…

Ariel Greenglick's farm is an illegal outpost set up in 2019 with the support of Amana. It is being legalized and turned into a settlement with 3600 homes.

Settlers are "rapidly seizing West Bank land." Beyond Israel's authorized (though still illegal) settlements, "there are currently at least 196" unauthorized outposts "across the West Bank, and 29 were set up last year - more than in any previous year." bbc.com/news/articles/c207j6…
EU spokesperson Peter Stano: “The BBC’s investigation into violence by extremist settlers in the West Bank is very important and timely in bringing this serious challenge to both peace and international law to public attention".youtube.com/watch?v=fxLDYkX7…

For more than six months, BBC Eye has been investigating extremist settlers establishing a new type of illegal settlement known as a “herding outpost”.
