@generalkellogg@SpencerGuard Excuse me, sir! Candace Owens has informed me that the Russians are the number one defenders of Christianity in the world today.
You must be mistaken or confused!
Well then why don’t they just release the damn text and everyone can see for themselves instead of us getting our information from Iranian state media and leaks to Axios.
Clown show.
Some in admin getting frustrated by inaccurate info floating around about the MOU, such as that the Iranians get $12 billion. The claims are false, I'm told. The deal is performance-based, for each step. If the Iranians deliver, they’ll get relief, one official said. If they don’t, they won’t.
@0xPaulRugg@sentdefender Yes in America we have freedom of Association and private property and therefore are allowed to prevent people we don’t like from forcing their way in.
So yes, fuck you.
@JayOwenF13@markstwatter2@sentdefender Why is it so difficult to grasp that he’s free to say whatever he wants and we’re free to not invite him to our private events. I have defended the rights to freedom of association and private property my whole life bc I believe in the freedoms written into the Bill of Rights.
@JayOwenF13@sentdefender Who cares this is America. It's been legal to ban racist antisemitic homophobic people from your private events and property what ever you want that's called Freedom. I am equally free to argue against all those ideas.
@markstwatter2@sentdefender Maybe. But don’t lie and say it’s about criticizing Israel. Just tell the damn truth. “The man said horrific things about Jews and praised Hitler. Some claim he was joking, others not. Either way the UFC (shockingly!) didn’t think this was good for their brand.”
Fixed it.
This is a good point.
Take the worst thing Ben Gvir has ever said and multiply it by 10 and it still wouldn’t be as bad as the BEST thing that’s ever come out of Hamas, the PA or Hezbollah.
Well done.
"But Ben Gvir" definitely washes away the murderous, eternal muqawama.
Good on you for being so clever.
This is it. This is the campaign in a nutshell. When you point to the nature of Israel's enemies as a possible explanation for some significant part of Israeli behavior, the bigots always, always acknowledge the point. They know.
"But Ben Gvir."
As though decades upon decades of genocidal rhetoric, genocidal intentions and genocidal action against Israeli Jews might not have played some slight role in forging Israel's Ben Gvirs. As though Ben Gvir himself in his worst, most racist moments ever said or did anything half as evil as the routine rhetoric and behavior of the ayatollahs, of Hamas and Hezbollah, of heroes lionized among so many Western elites.
Alas, none of this matters. With the likes of Zaid, we're speaking into a vacuum. They don't want to understand. They're not here to teach or learn or solve anything. It's not about justice or peace or even cold strategy. There isn't even an analysis here.
It's just bigotry, the mindlessness of the self-satisfied bully.
But, you know, Ben Gvir. Case closed.
Hezbollah and its command center in Tehran knew full well that they were attacking sovereign Israeli territory. They also knew that any response would likely come in Beirut.
They chose this course because they are trying to establish a new equation: one in which Tehran can mock the West, continue directing proxies to attack and kill Israeli civilians- whether through drones, missile fire, or cross-border invasions- while enjoying immunity itself and extending that immunity to proxies in across.the region.
No Israeli Gov would have accepted such an equation, and no government should.
For those who haven't been following -- and nobody's been following because nobody cares, least of all the journalists' NGOs -- Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been steadily releasing death notifications for one "journalist" after another, listing them invariably as fighters and commanders in the organizations' ranks.
It's dozens now. Maybe more.
But the "Israel targets journalists" meme is forever. The facts will never penetrate the thick fog of ideological confirmation bias that has overtaken the NGO and activism world and its journalistic arms in the mainstream media.
Literally no one cares about whether journalists were actually hunted down by Israel, as it was depicted by @pressfreedom and others, or whether Hamas used fake "journalist" claims to protect combatant commanders, counting on a global NGO and media ecosystem it knew was looking to confirm its biases.
No one will examine these falsehoods or report on them in a visible way because no one cares about the wellbeing of the real journalists, who are desperately endangered when combatant commanders are labeled "journalists" -- and even the world's major journalist advocacy groups decide to play along.
Well done.

Trump is getting fleeced by Iran
The deal:
• $24B cash + oil sales
• Just 60 days of open Hormuz
Iran pockets $30B+ in two months
Day 61, Iran can close Hormuz again, and repeat the extortion
Massive loss for Trump—Huge win for Iran
