I demand interpretive precedence and assert authority. This is how I identify. Personal and private thoughts.

I just heard the @BBC radio say that the Israeli army was attacking Hezbollah targets yesterday & they also platformed someone bloviating about how Iran is ‘occupying’ Lebanon.

As a frontline journalist on the ground for the last 18 months, I would like to reiterate that I have not see any Iranian occupation bases in Lebanon. I have not seen any children killed here by Iranian bombs. I haven’t seen the IRGC massacring entire families on a daily basis. The IRGC has not shot at me or killed dozens of my colleagues in targeted attacks. Iran has not been systematically murdering healthcare workers (over 130) in Lebanon.

Israel has violently invaded and occupied Lebanon. The flag flying over the base in Al Khiam is an Israeli flag, not an Iranian flag. (Photo below)

The Lebanese Ministry of Health yesterday reported that 3,613 civilians have been killed and 11,072 have been wounded in Israeli attacks since March 2nd.

I am more than familiar with Palestine history during the British occupation -its crimes and legacy - and yet. Watching #Palestine36 was a gut-wrenching experience.

Gentle as it can be, Palestinian storytelling cannot hide the horror of the crimes Palestinians have endured.

Natalie Jaresko, a US-born American citizen working for the US State Department, including at the US embassy in Kiev, received Ukrainian citizenship following the NATO-backed coup in 2014 and immediately became the Finance Minister of Ukraine.
Salome Zourabichvili is a French citizen who served as the French ambassador to Georgia. Following the NATO-backed "Rose Revolution", Zourabichvili was granted Georgian citizenship (while still serving as the French ambassador to Georgia). Shortly thereafter, she left the job of France's ambassador to Georgia and took the job as Georgia's Foreign Minister. Later, she took the position of President of Georgia, and has since been a key advocate for allowing Georgia's civil society to be administered by Western "NGOs" financed by Western governments and cooperating with Western intelligence agencies. After holding the presidency, she went to work for the McCain Institute, where she advocates for more intervention, while in Georgia, the current political leadership warns about the West seeking to use these NGOs to topple their democratically elected government to open up another front against Russia.

The imperialist design is always celebrated as democracy, and the purge of the opposition is always celebrated in the West as fighting Russian interference. We cannot even have discussions in the West about the extent to which this supports or undermines our security - as all criticism is purged as "Kremlin talking points". In my opinion, Europe is committing suicide.

JUST IN: Iran’s Foreign Ministry on CENTCOM:

“Despite claims by U.S. officials, we are aware that CENTCOM is fully coordinated and cooperating with the Zionist regime in both defensive and offensive operations.”

[Seyed Mohammad Marandi @s_m_marandi]

As the Islamic Republic hammers the genocidal Zionist regime, the regime continues to murder Palestinian children.

Thomas Massie says the conspiracy theorists were right again about Section 224 of the NDAA, which he says will merge the United States military with the IDF.

Massie says the provision is treasonous and warns that it will force the United States to compromise its own security for Benjamin Netanyahu's demands.

"The difference between a conspiracy theory in Washington has been reduced from six months to six days."

[Daniel Davis Deep Dive @DanielLDavis1]

This is, plain and simple, an Israeli war crime. They are punishing the entirety of the Palestinian population in Gaza as a retribution against Iran’s missile attack into Israel, which itself was a response to Israeli attacks against HZ in Lebanon.

But that’s an issue between Iran and Israel, not Israel and Gaza. The Palestinians are sealed in the Gaza Strip and pose no threat to Israel, and definitely we’re not party to the attacks by Iran today.

Israel has multiple military bases inside Gaza, so there is no military utility in blocking off the gates into the enclave, other than to punish the civilian population.

It is reprehensible.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Lynching mobs.
Pogroms.
Genocidal acts.
Racism.
Suprematism.
Absolute impunity.

The failure of the post-WWII system in a nutshell.

Armenian authorities arrested candidates ​for the political opposition a day before the election.
* The EU likely supports the subversion of democracy as it attempts to pull Armenia into its orbit and the opposition is considered to be friendly to Russia.

Israel responds to Iran’s missile strikes with new collective punishment against the people of Gaza:

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

It will soon become clear that when Israel chose to attack Dahiya yesterday, it was not only working to shatter negotiations between Trump and Iran

It was also consciously instigating an escalation that would inevitably place US regional bases under Iranian fire

What an ally

⚠️ Warning ⚠️

Not for the faint hearted.

They won't show you this in Western Media, the horrific reality of Zelensky, Rutte and Von Der Leyens failed War on Russia.

Recovering the dead is a shockingly grim business for Ukraine, and no one really knows the true toll.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Spot the difference.

Hint: there is none.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

This is an incredible admission that pro-Israel forces are going straight to the AI companies to alter the perception of reality that you see.

You can call this influence, manipulation or control, but you can’t say it’s not happening. She just told you they’re doing it.

VIDEO | The young fisherman Mohammed Abu Jiab set out to sea in central Gaza in search of a livelihood, but was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces.

He returned to his family this morning in a shroud, carried on the shoulders of mourners.

🇵🇸 “The term ceasefire has been used as a surrender cudgel against the Palestinians in Gaza,” Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill explained on Sky News.

Jeremy noted that Israel signed a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, then violated it repeatedly by killing more than a thousand Palestinians and advancing deeper into Gaza, while the international conversation shifted to demands that Hamas disarm, despite it never agreeing to do so in the signed agreement.

Israel “signed a ceasefire with Hamas, not with the children in tents that they continue to burn alive,” Jeremy said.

His remarks came as an entire family of five was burned alive in new Israeli strikes on residential apartments in Gaza City tonight. (See linked post below.)
