Israel appeared to break with the Trump administration on Saturday
over the makeup of a key committee to oversee the cease-fire in Gaza.
On Friday, the White House announced a “Gaza Executive Board”
to help administer the truce between Israel and Hamas.
The members included
Ali al-Thawadi, a senior Qatari official,
and Hakan Fidan, the Turkish foreign minister,
among others.
While an Israeli businessman is on the committee,

Israel and Its Leaders Are Still on Trial for Genocide https://jacobin.com/2025/12/israel-gaza-genocide-icj-icc/
As 2025 nears its end I wonder...
1. In 2050 will Israel still be a country or a smoking (and possibly radioactive) ruin? (I fully support the peaceful, safe existence of Israel. However, the genocidal acts of its government [as distinct from the citizens of Israel] are inviting a very strong, possibly nation-ending, response from others. I also fully support the peaceful, safe existence of a sovereign state for those in Gaza and the West Bank.)
2. Will the United States still …

„Jeffrey Epstein was a warlord. We have to talk about It. Mainstream media is ignoring the fact that the late sex trafficker was a power broker who shaped global policy“ https://www.thenation.com/article/society/jeffrey-epstein-israel-foreign-policy-elite/#<…
"Genocide is a process, not an event. When genocide happens, its roots, and the conditions that allowed it, often become visible only in retrospect. If those conditions remain unchanged and there is no accountability, there’s every reason to believe the violence will return, perhaps even worse, especially if it was never fully halted. This is exactly what we are seeing in the case of Gaza"

Part of why #Trump has always been so hard to pin down politically is that he was always representing highly conflicting interests. Now, as that eats him alive, the GOP is fracturing in to two main groups: the Pinochet/Franco wing and the Hitler wing.
The Pinochet/Franco wing (let's call them PF) are lead by Vance. PF are also a coalition with some competing interests, but basically it's evangelical leaders, Opus Dei (fascist catholics), tech fascists (Yarvinites), pharma, and the other normal big republican donors. They support Israel, some because apartheid is extremely profitable and some because they support the genocide of Palestinian in order to bring the end of the world. They are split between extremely antisemitic evangelicals and Zionists, wanting similar things for completely different reasons. PF wants strong immigration enforcement because it lets them exploit immigrants, they don't want actual ethnic cleansing (just the constant threat). They want H1B visas because they want to a precarious tech work force. They want to end tariffs because they support free trade and don't actually care about things being made here.
The Hitler wing are lead by Nick Fuentes. I think they're a more unified group, but they're going to try to pull together a coalition that I don't think can really work. They're against Israel because they believe in some bat shit antisemitic conspiracy theory (which they are trying to inject along side legitimate criticism of Israel). They are focused on release of the #EpsteinFiles because they believe that it shows that Epstein worked for Mossad. They don't think that the ICE raids are going far enough, they oppose H1Bs because they are racists. They want a full ethnic cleansing of the US where everyone who isn't "white" is either enslaved for menial labor, deported, or dead. But they're also critical of big business (partially because of conspiracy theories but also) because they think their best option is to push for a white socialism (red/brown alliance).
Both of them want to sink Trump because they see him as standing in the way of their objectives. Both see #Epstein as an opportunity. Both of them have absolutely terrifying visions of authoritarian dictatorships, but they're different dictatorships.with opposing interests. Even within these there may be opportunities to fracture these more.
While these fractures decrease the likelihood of either group getting enough people together, their vision is more clear and thus more likely to succeed if they can make that happen. Now is absolutely *not* the time to just enjoy the collapse, we need to keep up or accelerate anti-fascist efforts to avoid repeating some of the mistakes of history.
Edit:
I should not that this isn't *totally* original analysis. I'll link a video later when I have time to find it.
