The 84-second clip from @MacVVD, posted May 30, highlights Van Dijk's towering headers, interceptions, and tackles during Liverpool's record 2018-19 season, where they conceded just 22 Premier League goals and he won major awards like PFA Player of the Year. Rival supporters from Manchester United and Arsenal praised his peak, with one saying, 'I hate Liverpool but I can’t lie VVD that season was immense.' It contrasts sharply with Liverpool's poor 2025-26 finish under Arne Slot, who was sacked that day, amid talk Van Dijk's contract might not renew.

A Wall Street Journal investigation uncovered how sanctioned Iranian businessman Babak Zanjani's network processed $850 million in crypto transactions on Binance from 2023 to late 2025, with about half estimated to fund the IRGC and proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. Blockchain data and Binance reports traced $260 million directly to IRGC entities in 2024-2025, including $107 million from Iran's central bank, despite repeated compliance red flags. Binance denies the claims, stating transactions predated key U.S. sanctions and that it investigated proactively, amid its history of $4.3 billion in fines and founder Changpeng Zhao's brief prison stint before a 2025 pardon.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Iran quietly funneled hundreds of millions through Binance to arm its militias, even as U.S. tensions simmered and internal alerts flashed red.

The open letter, backed by over 60 prominent figures like Jeremy Corbyn and more than 14,000 public signatures, urges monitoring of around 2,000 Britons who served in the IDF, mandatory service disclosure, and extra screenings for public safety amid Gaza war crime accusations. Polanski defended it by citing UN, Amnesty, and Human Rights Watch reports on alleged IDF actions that killed over 40,000 Palestinians, while a Green Party spokesperson stressed the focus is on IDF service, not Jewish identity. Critics labeled it a discriminatory 'Jew register' echoing Nazi tactics, with figures like Zac Goldsmith calling Polanski 'disgusting,' though defenders rejected those comparisons as antisemitic.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Zack Polanski, a Jewish Green Party leader, put his name to a letter calling for UK border checks on British-Israelis who served in the IDF since the October 2023 attacks. The move drew sharp support and backlash in equal measure.

The House Subcommittee on National Security, Illicit Finance, and International Financial Institutions, chaired by Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), held a hearing titled 'Modernizing the BSA for Financial Crime in the 21st Century' to update the Bank Secrecy Act. Banks filed 28.7 million reports last year at a cost of $59 billion, but only 275 sparked criminal probes, per a Cato Institute analysis. Witnesses like Cato's Nicholas Anthony called it a 'financial surveillance regime' that raises costs and erodes privacy, while others discussed targeting high-risk activities amid fears of CBDC surveillance. The talks highlight tensions between fighting financial crime and protecting liberty as digital payments rise.
