Why would these people hate Trump so much? Just because he blew up one of their elementary schools with 170 girls inside, assassinated their religious leaders, blew up their bridges, and threatened to annihilate their civilization?

They're so petty, vindictive and primitive.

[Alon Mizrahi @alon_mizrahi]

The US cheating and still losing has become the hallmark of its journey under Trump: from trade wars to the Persian Gulf to the World Cup: they cheat, lose, and move on to the next set of lies immediately, like no one noticed, except everyone did

850,000 targets identified for Israel by Elbit.

That's the company Palestine Action has been proscribed to protect.

DON’T IGNORE IT

The Sun’s May 18 editorial regarding anti-Semitism includes the surreal Pollyanna statement, “The Israeli Defence Forces does its best to limit … damage, but they can always do better.” Like saying, the IDF’s B+ letter grade for its humanitarian effort can still be turned into an A. Yes, by all means, ignore the IDF’s campaign of carpet bombing, with three for every 10 victims children; forget the invasion of al-Aqsa mosque by Israeli security forces deploying tear gas and stun grenades; forget those racist Zionist gangs rampaging through the streets of Jerusalem, bawling “death to Arabs”; ignore the cadres of armed Jewish settlers aggressing Palestinian families, threatened with expulsion from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan in East Jerusalem. Pretend they never happened, aren’t happening.

@MaxBlumenthal This mass murder of Iran's supreme leader (alongside his family members) will echo like a thousandfold Shi'a version of "Remember the Alamo" in which martyrdom will galvanize the Iranian masses to fight the US/Israel foe to the last ditch.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

I've just visited the largest funeral in history, where millions mourned Sayyed Ali Khamenei, the Iranian leader who was assassinated by the US-Israeli coalition along with members of his family

It is practically impossible to understand what this scene is like, or what it means, unless you're here. I've met people from around the world who've come to pay respects, including many from across the West. The crowds pouring in are endless, and grow larger and more intense into the night.

From Tehran's Mosala, there are indignant calls for vengeance, displays of sorrow and defiance, protest, songs and marathons of poetry. These days of mourning will amount to one of the most resonant moments in the history of anti-imperialist movements.

Everyone I've spoken to believes war will return to Iran before long, and none trust the MOU with the US. But they are confident their country can deter another assault. They see their own citizens' mobilization as an integral component of Iran's survival.

If the assassination of Khamenei was designed to spur regime change, his funeral demonstrates how badly it has backfired. And the crime may blow back in ways its historically illiterate authors could have never imagined.

What we're witnessing in the Mosala consolidates the Islamic Republic and its revolutionary society as a political reality that can not be erased through regime change war or sanctions. This is a turning point in the region that will echo for a generation.
