An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.
Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.
I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.
Unfortunately I’m familiar, as well as disgusted, with the Iranian diaspora in North London. They’ve been praying for US to bomb their own country, in other words, irredeemable traitors: of Iran as well as of the whole region.
Israel and western politicians and media are wasting their breath using terms like “preemptive strike” to give Israel’s aggression some semblance of legitimacy. Because:
1. noone believes Israel, our politicians or our media any more
2. preemptive strikes are themselves illegal.
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
When watching this attack on @ZohranKMamdani, it's important to know that there are few more loyal spokespeople for billionaires & corporations than this person - which explains why he's appalled by the idea of higher taxes on oligarchs & why why he has a permanent cable TV job.
As the saying goes: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
@LizzySavetsky IDIOT! Shoveling comes after snow starts accumulating. And to be employed & paid, you have to provide IDs and your Social Security #. This has NOTHING to do with voting, like other functions in which you have *already identified yourself* to the government
Marc Rowan, former business associate of Jeffrey Epstein, says Gaza’s coastline “is $50 billion of value” and just needs to be “unlocked”
The only thing stopping the Epstein Class from realizing its sociopathic vision in Gaza is the Palestinian resistance
TRUMP: This gentleman has a great company. We was in big trouble and then I put on the tariffs. It's amazing anyone could complain about them
BIZ OWNER: It's been a game changer. We were competing with China. They were producing racks at $90 a piece. Our costs alone are $150. You leveled it
Here’s @NYCMayor@ZohranKMamdani’s new Chief Immigration Officer Faiza Ali in 2019 when she helped form a circle in the pouring rain around a Chabad Hanukah event after antisemitic attacks.
Another Zohran appointee who actually cares about ALL New Yorkers.
