@Channel4News Security threat? From a country that considers him an imbecile, and has stated it will wait until America removes him at the next election before resuming negotiations. Mmm.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Because it was never about hostages or Hamas. It was always about the intent to destroy Palestinian life and steal their land.

Israel will not stop, they must be stopped.

"La Torá nos dice que no debemos tener piedad de ningún alma, esto incluye a los niños, hoy es un bebé y mañana será un combatiente, los terroristas de hoy son los niños de la ofensiva anterior. No hay duda alguna, no debes dejar ningún niño vivo".

Eliyahu Mali, rabino sionista y director de la escuela militar-religiosa "Shirat Moshe", que forma ideológicamente a los soldados en el ejército de "Israel", durante una conferencia haciendo un llamado a matar a niños, mujeres y ancianos en Gaza.

Estas declaraciones por lo que sea, nunca las verás en los medios de incomunicación, que nos han enseñado mil veces lo fanáticos que son los musulmanes, pero de estos rabinos del sionismo jamás dicen ni una sola palabra.

Wouldn't it ?

@GadSaad @paulinaplazas @jonstewart If Jews are hated it’s because of freaks like you, Shapiro, and Shmuley conflating a religion with a supremacist political movement ran by land stealers from Eastern Europe.

President John F. Kennedy and US Attorney General Bobby Kennedy forced the American Zionist Counsel to register as a foreign agent, blocking them from donating to US officials.

JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963.

RFK was assassinated on June 5, 1968.

AIPAC replaced the American Zionist Counsel without any opposition.

The US vaporized Hiroshima.

It carpet-bombed Korea.

It dismembered Vietnam.

It turned the Middle East into a Graveyard and called it Peace.

If terrorism has a capital, it isn’t Tehran, It’s Washington.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

The most important structural difference is one that Western political theory finds almost impossible to discuss without immediately dismissing it.

In China, the state sits above capital.

In Western liberal democracies, capital increasingly sits above the state.

This is not a minor distinction. It is the entire ballgame.

When Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, one of the wealthiest men in the world, the face of Chinese private enterprise globally, gave a speech in 2020 mildly criticizing Chinese financial regulators, the following happened:

His company's IPO, which would have been the largest in history at $37 billion, was suspended.

He disappeared from public view for three months.

Alibaba was fined $2.8 billion for antitrust violations.

His financial technology company Ant Group was forced into restructuring under state supervision.

Now name a single American billionaire who has been treated this way for criticizing regulators.

Name one.

The relationship between money and state power in China is not without corruption and not without danger. But the direction of that relationship, who ultimately answers to whom, is structurally different.

And that structural difference is exactly what makes Western analysts most uncomfortable.

Because it works. And they have no framework for acknowledging that.

@LauraLoomer What you've just said about Muslims is what the Nazis said about Jews. Zionists are the Nazis now.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

It's absolutely amazing that our political and media discourse is fixated on smearing every Israel critic as "anti-Semitic," and pretending the US suffers a crisis of an anti-Semitism epidemic, and demanding denunciation rituals to banish these Israel critics as unrepentent bigots, while one of the US President's closest advisors casually proclaims -- not for the first time -- that "Muslims need to be treated like enemy combatants" and should be barred from holding public office, echoing the statement yesterday from a sitting member of the US Congress that "every single Muslim is.... a threat to national security and our Republic."

Find me a single comment -- just one -- from Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El Sayed, Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie or Hasan Piker about Jews that is even 1/1000th as bigoted and Nazi-like as the vomit puked up over the last 24 hours about ALL Muslims from Laura Loomer and Nancy Mace. (In reality, you can't find one comment from any of them that is anti-Semitic without conflating "Israel" and Jews, but even if you could, it'd be in a different universe entirely from the kinds of false and hateful accusations made every day by the most influential people about all American Muslims).

The UK defunds its largest radio telescope, losing world leading research , space defense and satellite tracking capabilities as well as its contribution to international projects at CERN and the flagship electron-ion collider in the US

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

If someone made this exact same statement -- but replaced "Muslim" with "Jew" -- their career would not only be instantly and permanently destroyed, but their families, banks, communities and employers would be relentlessly hounded until they were denounced, disowned and banned.

[Jimmy Dore @jimmy_dore]

October 7th was funded & set up by Netenyahu & Israel. The Israeli military was given a stand down order & Bibi was shoveling $30 million a month to Hamas. Ben Swann spells it all out so clearly even a Zionist can understand:

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

Muammar Gaddafi gave up his nuclear program in 2003.

He negotiated. He complied. He handed over the centrifuges and the documentation and accepted international inspectors and did everything the West said a responsible leader should do.

He believed the deal.

He believed that compliance would produce security.

In 2011, NATO bombed his country for seven months.

Hillary Clinton, upon hearing of his death, after he had been captured, sodomized with a bayonet, and killed by a mob, appeared on camera and laughed:

"We came, we saw, he died."

Kim Jong-un watched this.

The Iranian leadership watched this.

Every government on Earth that was considering what compliance with Western demands actually produces watched this.

Gaddafi is the lesson.

Not the lesson the West wants to teach.

The lesson history actually teaches.

The empire does not reward disarmament.

It schedules it.

If we can't arrest a sitting President for laundering money, illegal war crimes, market manipulation, being named a pedophile in the Epstein Files, kidnapping a world leader and his wife, and having to pay $88.3M for sexually assaulting a woman....WHAT THE FUCK ARE LAWS FOR???

[Bryce Greene @TheGreeneBJ]

Standard histories completely ignore the role of the USSR in the gains we achieved during the civil rights movement.

One reason why elites were motivated to address Jim Crow was that the Soviets were getting easy propaganda layups because America was so overtly racist.

[Steven Var 🇺🇸🇪🇺🇭🇺 @Podrivel]

I didn’t see the attached essay at first, but as an International Relations academic, I’ll respond with some consideration (and otherwise respect for you and your work).

Your essay reads like theorist Morgenthau who espoused Classical Realism. It basically says politics is ultimately about power. Morality matters, but only after survival.

Israel’s situation, however, more closely resembles Mearsheimer’s Offensive Realist framework. Offensive Realism assumes:
- states cannot trust others,
- security is never guaranteed,
- survival requires maximizing relative power,
- opportunities to reshape the strategic environment should be exploited.

Under this lens Israel isn’t just focused on survival, but on expansion. We also see now that October 7th wasn’t simply a terrorist attack. There is strong evidence suggesting it was allowed to happen and meant to be the catalytic event that allowed Israel to pursue strategic objectives previously constrained politically.

Those include:
- removing or reducing the Hamas and Gaza problem
- invading Lebanon
- weakening Iran's regional network
- expanding regional deterrence through expanded wars involving the U.S.
- permanent territorial expansion
- reshaping the Middle East balance of power

Clausewitz famously wrote: War is the continuation of politics by other means.
Your essay can almost be summarized as saying: Ethics is the continuation of strategy by philosophical means.

Whether intentional or not, your essay functions less as an exploration of Israel's security dilemma than as a post hoc philosophical justification for a grand strategy that appears to have preceded October 7. It assumes Israel's overriding objective remains survival and cohabitation, whereas its actions increasingly suggest an offensive effort to establish regional hegemony.

My core issue with your essay is that the ethical framework you've constructed risks providing moral legitimacy to a strategy that extends well beyond self-defense - and one that has brought the region, and the world, to an increasingly perilous point.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

They can never explain this, they just come up with bullshit excuse and call you a communist for questioning it.

The ADL was created to cover for a Jewish man found guilty of raping and murdering a 13 year old Catholic girl after trying to plant evidence and blame it on a black janitor in the 1913 racist segregated south.

The ADL now refers to Leo Frank as a “victim of antisemitism.”
