New article from me: Many of the National Basketball Association’s biggest stars are quietly allying themselves with the State of Israel, making official visits to the country, meeting IDF troops, and investing in its national security industry. Meanwhile, individuals criticizing Israel and supporting Palestinian liberation have been condemned, threatened, and marginalized. This has caused widespread consternation and push back from the league’s largely progressive fan base. The NBA, in other words, has an Israel problem. https://www.mintpressnews.com/from-dunks-to-drones-the-nba-has-an-israel-problem/290866/

"Lands next to" lmao

An absolutely insane start to a story.

New article from me: As the Trump administration turns the screw on Cuba in an attempt at regime change, media are showing renewed interest in Havana Syndrome, the discredited theory that U.S. officials and secret agents are being targeted by a heretofore unknown directed energy weapon, making them sick. https://www.mintpressnews.com/the-return-of-havana-syndrome-as-cuba-faces-renewed-us-pressure-campaign/290731/
