The blog post titled “Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Mob” from Current News is a curation of news headlines and video links from December 1, 2025. It highlights a series of interconnected geopolitical events involving these leaders.

Here is a summary of the key stories featured:

  • Trump and Netanyahu (The Pardon Standoff): A major focus is on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appearing in court to request a pardon for his long-running corruption trial. Reports suggest this move is heavily backed by U.S. President Trump, with some headlines indicating Trump may even be threatening sanctions against Israeli officials if the pardon is not granted.

  • Trump, Putin, and Venezuela: The post aggregates reports of a dramatic escalation in Venezuela. Trump reportedly issued an ultimatum for Nicolas Maduro to resign and deployed U.S. F-18 fighter jets to the region. This has triggered a response from Russia (a Maduro ally), with reports of Russian aircraft in action and potential evacuations, creating a tense standoff between Trump and Putin by proxy.

  • Russia and Ukraine: There are updates on diplomatic moves regarding the Russia-Ukraine war, specifically talks between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ukrainian officials aimed at finding an “endgame.” Concurrently, Putin’s aides are quoted deriding President Zelensky, maintaining aggressive rhetoric despite the negotiations.

  • Domestic US Tension: The feed includes stories about domestic political conflict, such as Tulsi Gabbard (Director of National Intelligence) making allegations against Obama-era intelligence leadership, and Trump defending controversial remarks made about Tim Walz.

The title “Mob” likely refers to the overarching theme of corruption allegations, legal battles, and aggressive “strongman” political tactics connecting these different stories.

Netanyahu has formally requested a presidential pardon
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally requested a presidential pardon from President Isaac Herzog for his ongoing corruption trial

. The request was submitted on Sunday, November 30, 2025, and has been described as “extraordinary” by the President’s Office due to it being made while the trial is still underway and without an admission of guilt. 

Key Details
  • Pardon Request: Netanyahu’s request consisted of two documents: a detailed legal letter from his lawyer and a personal letter from the Prime Minister himself.
  • Reasoning: In the letter, Netanyahu argues that the pardon would serve the national interest by allowing him to focus fully on Israel’s significant security and diplomatic challenges and help “heal the rifts” within Israeli society, rather than being distracted by court proceedings.
  • Denial of Guilt: Netanyahu continues to deny all charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust and insists he would be acquitted if the trial ran its course. A pardon typically requires an admission of guilt, an expression of remorse, and retirement from public life, which he has not offered.
  • Trump’s Influence: The request follows a letter from U.S. President Donald Trump earlier in November, which urged President Herzog to grant Netanyahu a full pardon, calling the case a “political, unjustified prosecution”.
  • Ongoing Trial: Netanyahu is the first sitting Israeli Prime Minister to stand trial. The trial began in 2020, and the defense case with Netanyahu’s testimony started in December 2024, but it has faced numerous delays. The proceedings are expected to continue for several more years. 
Next Steps
The President’s Office has confirmed the request was received and, in accordance with standard procedures, has transferred it to the Pardons Department in the Ministry of Justice. This department will gather opinions from relevant authorities before sending a recommendation to the President’s legal advisor, who will then provide an opinion to President Herzog. Herzog will consider the opinions before making a decision. There is no set deadline for this process. 
Reactions
The request has drawn sharp division in Israel: 
  • Support: Netanyahu’s coalition partners, including Defense Minister Israel Katz and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, supported the request, citing the “complex security reality” and the need for national unity.
  • Opposition: Opposition Leader Yair Lapid urged President Herzog not to grant the pardon without an admission of guilt and a withdrawal from political life, arguing that doing so would be a “deadly blow to the rule of law”.

The effects of anti-semitism on Jews in the late USSR

Spread the love

Jews are not welcome here

The effects of anti-semitism on Jews in the late USSR: self-hatred and various character pathologies

State-sponsored and pervasive social anti-semitism in the late USSR led to significant psychological distress among Jews, including feelings of alienation, a damaged sense of self, and internalized anti-semitism (self-hatred), which manifested in various character pathologies and identity conflicts. [1, 2, 3]


Internalized Anti-Semitism and Self-Hatred

The primary psychological impact was the internalization of the negative messages prevalent in Soviet society. This phenomenon led to:
  • Negative Self-Image: Jewish individuals absorbed societal prejudices, resulting in a negative self-image and identity rejection.
  • Feelings of Inferiority and Shame: Ongoing persecution and a subordinate social position produced feelings of anger, embarrassment, guilt, and low self-esteem.
  • Self-Negation: Some individuals exhibited “peculiar self-consciousness” and a tendency toward “self-negation,” attempting to deny their Jewish identity in order to be seen as “normal” Soviet citizens.
  • Identity Conflict: The clash between one’s heritage and the dominant, hostile culture created significant identity conflict. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6]

Character Pathologies and Behavioral Responses

The chronic exposure to discrimination and the resulting psychological stress led to various behavioral and emotional responses:
  • Alienation and Evasion: A profound sense of alienation from the Soviet system replaced any former loyalty. Many Jews sought to hide their Jewish identity, for example, by wishing for a “normal” surname that did not immediately mark them as Jewish.
  • Anxiety and Fear: Jewish citizens lived with a constant fear of persecution, which was well-founded given the history of state-sponsored violence and discrimination. This fear was exacerbated by the lack of reliable official protection.
  • Psychosomatic Symptoms: Studies of Jewish residents with a background of migration from post-Soviet areas have shown an increased rate of depression, anxiety, fatigue, and psychosomatic problems, such as chronic pain and psychocardial symptoms, directly linked to their experiences of anti-semitism and the transgenerational passing of trauma.
  • Assimilation or Emigration: The desire to escape discrimination and psychological harm often led to thoughts of either full assimilation into the dominant Russian culture or, when possible, emigration. The large wave of Jewish emigration that began in the 1970s was a direct result of this deep alienation and rejection. [7, 8, 9, 10]
The effects demonstrate how deeply embedded state-sponsored anti-semitism damaged the mental health and self-perception of Soviet Jews, creating a “damaged identity” in response to pervasive societal and state-level prejudice. [1, 11]

#Russia and #Ukraine​ #News Review
thenewsandtimes.blogspot.com/2025/08/russia
currentnewschannels.blogspot.com/2025/11/russia
Focusing on recent military actions and ongoing peace negotiations, here is a review of the latest news regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Military Activity
Both nations have launched major, deadly overnight strikes.
Russian Attacks: Russia launched over 460 drones and 22 missiles into Ukraine, resulting in six deaths and 13 injuries, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The strikes caused “extensive damage to residential buildings and civilian infrastructure” across multiple regions including Kyiv and Odesa, and primarily targeted the energy sector to disrupt normal life.
Ukrainian Attacks: Ukraine carried out a significant drone attack on Russia, which Russian officials said killed three people and wounded eight. Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed to have intercepted 249 drones, including 116 over the Black Sea. Ukrainian military sources described the night as “most productive” in November, indicating “deep damage” was inflicted on Russia.
NATO Involvement: NATO fighter jets in Romania were scrambled after at least one Russian drone breached Romanian airspace near the border with Ukraine.
Frontline: In the east, the battle for the key city of Pokrovsk continues to rage, with Russia reportedly making advances.
Peace Negotiations and Diplomatic Efforts
Diplomatic activity has intensified around a U.S.-proposed peace plan, which has been the subject of significant debate and revision.
U.S. Peace Plan: The Trump administration introduced a controversial 28-point peace proposal that initially included many concessions to Russia, such as a cap on Ukraine’s military size and potential territorial losses. The plan has faced criticism for being too favorable to Moscow, and European leaders are working to rebalance it.
Negotiations: U.S. and Ukrainian officials met in Geneva and reported “tremendous progress” and “highly productive” discussions, refining the plan into a 19-point framework that is more acceptable to Kyiv.
Sticking Points: Russia has indicated that many, but not all, points are acceptable, but has not officially received the revised plan. Russia continues to demand the recognition of annexed territories and a guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO.
European Response: European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, are pushing back against the U.S. proposal, arguing that without strong deterrence measures, Russia will remain a threat. France has pledged to sell 100 fighter jets to Ukraine to boost its defense capabilities.
Zelenskyy’s Position: President Zelenskyy has said he will discuss “sensitive issues” with President Trump and has stated Ukraine will not agree to a ceasefire that freezes the conflict with Russia occupying its territory.
