Breaking News: The typical lying israeli prime minister

israel just bombed the southern village of Froon, the same village benjamin netanyahu, an ICC fugitive for war crimes, said he would withdraw from, but in reality, the occupation forces have never set foot in since the year 2000.

This is yet more proof that Western institutions should not be granted the legitimacy they enjoy. It’s time to create real legitimate international institutions that represent all Journalist, all writers, all Artists, all academics, and so on. The West simply cannot be trusted and they do not deserve the legitimacy they have been given

[Amir @AmirAminiMD]

I haven’t said much about this World Cup, but I’m going to say this:

I never expected anything other than pettiness and bigotry from this administration.

And I definitely never expected anything less than corruption and incompetence from FIFA.

But I did expect basic decency and sportsmanship from the competition.

I have lost every ounce of respect I ever had for players and teams who remained silent in the face of blatant discrimination and unfairness against one participant.

At this point, not a single one of them is worth being called a sportsman, let alone holding the title of world champion.

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

There are many shocking provisions in the scandalous “agreement” signed by Lebanon and the Israeli regime, but none more shocking than point 13 whereby Lebanon purports to give up its international legal claims against the Israeli occupation. But a news flash for the US-Israel Axis: Article 47 of the 4th Geneva Convention explicitly states that protected persons in occupied territories cannot be deprived of the benefits of the Convention“by any agreement concluded between the authorities of the occupied territories and the Occupying Power." The rights and protections guaranteed under IHL
cannot legally be signed away or contractually waived, not by Lebanese officials, not by the occupying Israeli regime, and not by its complicit US ally. Point 13 is null and void as a matter of law, and the other provisions of this absurd surrender deal will eventually follow it into the trash bin of history.

PUTIN🇷🇺: THE US🇺🇸 MUST UNDERSTAND WE HAVE NOWHERE LEFT TO RETREAT TO

‘Under what pretext did they destroy Yugoslavia? Where's Yugoslavia and where is the US? Who gave them the right to strike a European capital?

What was the pretext for the invasion of Iraq? The development of weapons of mass destruction?

How did they invade Syria?
Did the UN Security Council authorise any of this? Whatever they want, they do.

But what they are doing now in Ukraine is not thousands of miles away from our national borders; it is on our doorstep. And they must realize that we simply have nowhere else to retreat to.’

That embarrassing moment when the US and Britain decided it would be a good idea to vote against the UN resolution for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

And still some people think these are the good guys.....

Remember when Dr. Cornel West and a bunch of professional managerial class leftists cheered on the Iran protests despite it being an obvious Mossad operation?

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

To me, it is clear that Iran have not raised the cost of war enough for the US and Israel.

Nor have Russia raised the cost of war enough for NATO/Ukraine.

Had they done so, they would have left. This is not the case. It's that simple.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The Israeli press are reporting that police documents on the security for the October 7 2023 Nova music festival were mysteriously deleted at some point in early January 2024. The Jerusalem Post reports that “it is unknown who removed them and whether copies still exist.”

A new article from the Israeli outlet YNet reports that the IDF had planned to kill an Israeli soldier who was captured by Hamas in 2006, with one document stating “Hannibal in effect.” The Hannibal Directive is an Israeli military protocol ensuring that extreme measures be taken to prevent Israelis from capture by Palestinian resistance groups, even if it means killing the Israelis.

Israel’s Channel 12 has shown footage of Israeli officers demanding that the Hannibal Directive be implemented on October 7 to prevent hostages from being taken by Hamas, with a senior officer saying “(Strike) Gaza. Break it all apart. Along with the soldiers who got abducted.”

Many Israeli soldiers and civilians are on record saying that Israeli forces fired upon their own people on October 7.

How many of the 1,195 people killed in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood were actually killed by Israeli forces? We don’t know, and we’re not allowed to know. Electronic Intifada’s Asa Winstanley has argued that the number was in the hundreds.

Did Israel deliberately leave its people undefended from an impending Hamas attack in order to advance pre-existing agendas? We don’t know, and we’re not allowed to know, but there are mountains of evidence indicating that they did.

Ask why there’s been so much violence in the middle east these last three years and you’ll be told it’s because of October 7.

Ask why October 7 happened and you’ll be called an antisemite.

Ask what specifically transpired on that day and you’ll be called a conspiracy theorist.

It’s just so crazy how often apologists for Israel and the western empire will cite October 7 as the spark that set off all these wars of far-reaching consequence, but it’s taboo to talk about exactly what happened on that day, and it’s taboo to talk about how Israel’s abuses provoked the attack.

The official mainstream position on October 7 is that Hamas killed 1,195 Israelis for no reason other than because they are evil and wanted to kill Jews, and that anyone who suggests it may have happened for actual material reasons is an antisemitic monster. Whenever anyone spouts the official mainstream position on October 7 at me I just want to make “goo goo ga ga” baby noises at them until they shut up and go away, because such people are not thinking like adults.

Everyone who’s been watching Israel’s behavior since October 7 now understands why Palestinian resistance fighters carried out October 7 in the first place. We’re expected to avert our eyes from the glaring plot holes in the official narrative and never suggest that Israel’s horrific abuses of the Palestinians may have played some role in giving rise to the attack, but after watching a live-streamed genocide month after month after horrifying month, we all know October 7 was just Israel reaping what it sowed.

And we know there is no evil these freaks are not capable of.

Never forget who started the War in Ukraine, it was the US Deep State, eagerly supported by the British.

They fomented and cultivated the chaos, Nuland, the high priestess of regime change was dispatched to Kiev, billions were allocated to buy influence.

[Irlandarra @martinez_j7902]

The bodyguards killed Charlie Kirk; in this video, we can see how they get rid of the evidence of the crime.

Charlie said ISRAELIS provide the 'best security' in a conversation with Bill Maher from April 2025

Charlie's security on the day of his assassination was Zionist-owned Shaffer Security Group, who ended their contract with TPUSA in 2022, but suddenly appeared for this one event.

None of them covered for another shot or looked for the shooter because they blew Charlie up with a bomb in his mic.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Nothing has changed, I see. The US are still bombing Iran, and NATO/Ukraine still bombing Russian refineries. As expected.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

If public opinion in the US were really against Israel as much as some would have you believe, you would see direct action against weapons factories like in the UK.

You don't.

[Glenn Diesen @Glenn_Diesen]

Stubb argues that Ukraine will become a NATO member. This sounds "pro-Ukrainian" but ensures that peace is not possible. If people cared about Ukraine, they would encourage talks with Moscow about pan-European security. This is what you would say to fight to the last Ukrainian.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Mojtaba Khamenei said in so many words that he was against the US "agreement" (read: hoodwink).

Common sense, and sharp political understanding. And he was right.

As expected, this "agreement" was broken on day 1 by the US.

[Trisha Hope - National Delegate-TX @JustTheTweets17]

For @tpusa to have had nothing to do with Charlie’s murder, all of these would have to be pure coincidences:

1. No ambulance was present at UVU.
2. UVU told Charlie’s team they could not secure the location and recommended moving the event. Charlie’s team insisted it stay in the same spot.
3. UVU was booked on extremely short notice—an anomaly for events that are normally scheduled far in advance.
4. None of Charlie’s security team drew their weapons after he was shot.
5. Charlie wore a white shirt for the first time.
6. Charlie’s RØDE mic was mounted with the microphone next to his chest instead of the magnet.
7. No one on Charlie’s team called 911.
8.Charlie’s security waved off first responders, loaded him into the SUV without securing the wound, and allowed him to bleed out.
9. No one on Charlie’s team ever mentioned the RØDE mic shattering.
10. Frank Turek and Brian Harpole gave conflicting accounts of what happened inside the SUV.
11. Charlie’s shirt, pants, and necklace were never turned over to police as evidence.
12.Governor Cox and FBI Director Patel ordered the immediate excavation of the ~20'x20' area where Charlie was seated, followed by emergency paver installation—before the site was released to the public.

The dogs in the streets of Dublin knew Sir Jeffrey Donaldson was a compromised bisexual adulterer with links the men who had abused boys at Kincora. The Irish Times ignored the brewing scandal. Are they utterly useless or was something else at play? 👇 https://t.co/Oy6Ku25jxp…
