Hard for me to exaggerate the intensity of the wails and the gnashing of teeth from Israeli "ideologues", from the hard right to the center left, who cannot believe "Trump's betrayal". It is impossible for Israelis to think of their actions as having consequences.
Signing this deal may be the most sensible thing Trump has ever done. Israel is an unwelcome albatross around his neck. He has never been in thrall to Israel and zionism. He has found Netanyahu to be a disrespectful destabilizer, an agent of harm to Trump's interest. Trump may change his mind every hour but that is part of the power dynamic of bullies. I do believe his mind is now made up.
There is no telling what horrors will come to pass in Lebanon and in Gaza as Israel is allowed to continue its genocide and ethnic cleansing. Still, on one front a taboo has been unthinkably breached. Israel has been told off. Israel has been called out. This might be for all the wrong reasons. It doesn't matter one bit.
You've heard it here countless times. Israel is corrupt and hollow. It is weak. Israel cannot go it alone (I wish I could translate the anguished cries of a few settler ideologues about the response we must be preparing, a response to shake up the world), Israel's gaslighting should and can be stopped. It is not inevitable. Israel must be brought to justice but Israel can and should be ridiculed mercilessly. Israel is the globe' s current hub of evil. Evil can also be pathetic.
Not ONE single football related question at the official pre-match press conference ahead of #TeamMelli vs New Zealand. Disgraceful.
These people are REALLY lucky I'm not the Press Officer of the Iran national team.
The US-Israeli war against Iran has been such an overwhelming success that not a single one of the war's objectives as enunciated by Trump and Netanyahu during its initial days has made it the negotiating agenda.
Regime change in Tehran, unconditional surrender by the Islamic Republic, total Iranian denuclearization, curbs on Iran's missile programs, conventional military capabilities, and regional alliances, not one of these issues is even up for discussion.
In case anyone doesn't know...

Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.
We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.
With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

BREAKING: Stanford University graduates staged a walkout during Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s keynote address at commencement Sunday.
The walkout was organized by Students for Justice in Palestine and No Tech for Apartheid as a protest against Google’s contracts with the IDF, Dept. of Homeland Security, and ICE.
The “centrist” critique of Netanyahu’s prosecution of the war includes a complaint that Iran’s oil and gas infrastructure wasn’t sufficiently targeted.

🔥 INCREDIBLE! Despite the Zionist regime destroying fields and murdering players, Palestinians in Gaza gather in the ruins to watch the World Cup.
They are defying the US-backed genocide to find community. Their unbreakable spirit is absolutely awe-inspiring!
