In Australia, it’s acceptable for an Israeli official to defend apartheid (a crime against humanity) & spout violent racist dehumanising language against Palestinians on national TV in a room for all lapdog journalists.

[Christine Milne AO @ChristineMilne]

What sort of Press Club welcomes the murderer of journalists? I cannot believe this event was held. Another nail in coffin of free press in Australia.

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one ‘race group’. Israel is now the most racist state the world has ever known.

Shame on every government, every company, every individual who offer it support.

[David Shoebridge @DavidShoebridge]

The Press Club cancelled Pulitzer winner Chris Hedges after he submitted a speech on the killing of Palestinian journalists, then booked Israel's ambassador instead.

If you wonder why media reporting on Gaza genocide has been so disappointing this is what they think is normal.

We need more politicians across the world to fight with this determination to end krill fishing entirely.

Note: Norway takes ~63% of total Antarctic krill catch—but a US equity firm owns 60% of Norway's Aker BioMarine krill feed business.
China catches ~24% of total (CCAMLR)

The people who did this want you to know international law and civilian life must be protected.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Israel slaughtered 15 aid workers in Gaza, buried their bodies so nobody would know, lied about it, and only got caught because they forget to steal one of the victims' cell phones, and he recorded the entire massacre.

Israel also did this:

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

Iran is not being attacked because it violates human rights (its attackers are serial violators who don’t give a damn about human rights). It’s being attacked because it dared to defend the human rights of the Palestinian people from the ongoing Israeli genocide- the only recognized state to have done so.

And it’s not being attacked for having nuclear weapons, but rather because it does not have nuclear weapons.

There is no way to put lipstick on the pig of US-Israeli aggression, try as they may.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

The Omanis are famously cautious. The Omani FM going on CBS to reveal what has actually been achieved in the negotiations is quite unprecedented. And what has been achieved is significant - Trump can indeed declare victory. Listen to this segment - it goes way beyond what Obama achieved.

But everything indicates that Trump won't take yes for an answer. That he will start a war of choice very soon.

Which is probably why the Omani FM decided to go public.

So that the American people knew that peace was within reach when Trump instead opted for war.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

The world's two rogue states, Israel and the USA, have started a war not against Iran but against the whole world. We stand with Iranians, with Humanity, against the notion that Israel and the US can bomb anyone their fancy takes them to bomb. https://t.co/Xn8bo7q5Xc

[jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill]

The term “preemptive” is pure propaganda. The U.S. once again used the veneer of negotiations as a cover to bomb Iran. Tehran had just offered terms that went far beyond the 2015 nuclear deal. What was preempted was diplomacy. The same propaganda tactics used in 2003 Iraq war.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States are illegal, unprovoked and unjustifiable.

Peace and diplomacy was possible. Instead, Israel and the United States chose war.

This is the behaviour of rogue states — and they have jeopardised the safety of humankind around the world with this catastrophic act of aggression.

Our government must condemn this flagrant breach of international law, and urgently pursue a foreign policy based on justice, sovereignty and peace.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

This happens often. The US uses its singular financial power to impose suffocating sanctions on the countries they claim they're trying to help -- in Iran, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.

Then the US points to the resulting economic suffering as proof that the governments are bad.

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

The Iranian regime bombing civilian homes this evening. Under the cover of darkness their air strikes come with no warning.

Nah my mistake this is Israel bombing families homes in Lebanon now, you know the same Israel who wants to "free Iran"

[Normal Island News @NormalIslandNws]

BREAKING: The people who did this to Gaza are deeply concerned that Iran might have broken international humanitarian law

[The Grayzone @TheGrayzoneNews]

The US DOJ indictment of Venezuela’s Maduro is a sloppy political rant that relies heavily on coerced testimony from an unreliable witness

@MaxBlumenthal picks it apart and explains how it threatens to expose the CIA’s own history of drug trafficking

[Ali Abunimah @AliAbunimah]

For months, I've been hearing @MaxBlumenthal explain that "Cartel of the Suns" doesn't actually exist. Now that the US has abducted President @NicolasMaduro to steal Venezuela's oil, the Trump administration no longer needs to pretend it does.

[Greg Barns SC @BarnsGreg]

Tells you everything that is wrong about Tasmania when media highlights a few tear filled Tasmanian Devils @afl team employees fearful because the arrogant @RockliffTeam government might be gone. What about those without housing? #politas

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

That Piers Morgan of all people -- who justified Israel's destruction of Gaza for months -- is treating an Israeli official this way shows the massive sea change in global opinion.

And: nobody is petrified now when Israel screams "blood libel!" It lost its sting from overuse:
