@WhiteHouse@StateDept If the US didn't overthrow the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammad Mossadegh, perhaps there wouldn't have been an Islamic Revolution in 1953. Did you forget that part, sweetie?
You don't want to hurt the Iranian people? Are you being satirical? President Trump threatened to end Iranian civilization. He threatened to bomb Iran back to the stone ages. Hahaha, you're hilarious.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Our desire is not to hurt the people of Iran. Frankly, we wish the voices of the people of Iran were heard as opposed to having 40,000 of them murdered in the streets, inside of hospitals, and executed on a routine basis.
They are victims of that regime.
At this point, more California teachers have tried to assassinate Trump than Iranians have.
I really wish he’d get back to domestic concerns and stop cleaning up the rest of the world.
@SenTomCotton Why don't you focus on the welfare of your constituents in Arkansas rather than citizens of Taiwan. Most Americans can't even find Taiwan on a map.
🇮🇱🇵🇸Holy shit, Haaretz published a list of atrocities Israeli soldiers did and saw in Gaza, and the details are stomach churning:
• Soldiers pissing on a bound, blindfolded detainee while laughing and joking about October 7
• Interrogators torturing detainees by tying cable ties around their genitals
• An officer executing an unarmed Palestinian who had surrendered with hands up, then covering it up as a “terrorist killed”
• Widespread excitement in units over “special means” used to kill people in tunnels, while one soldier said it reminded him of the Holocaust
• A tank gunning down five Palestinians crossing a line (four killed), followed by a D9 bulldozer burying the bodies in sand
• Soldiers opening fire on unarmed civilians, including an old man and three teenage boys who turned out to be completely unarmed
• Looting Palestinian homes, burning photos, and urinating on personal belongings for fun
The impact back home has been brutal.
Soldiers are throwing out mirrors because they can’t look at themselves.
Others are breaking down crying in public. Many are struggling with suicidal thoughts, shame, and nightmares.
These soldiers will carry this for decades.
Heavy, painful reading.
🇮🇱🇱🇧 More footage of IDF soldiers destroying a statue in southern Lebanon, as the military opens an investigation into the incident.
If verified, it would be part of a pattern:
- Apr 2025: Saint George statue destroyed in Yaroun during Palm Sunday
- 1st century Saint Peter shrine in Chamaa, near Tyre, destroyed
- Jul 2025: IDF strike on Gaza's only Catholic church, Holy Family Church
- Oct 2023: Ancient Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church struck, 18 civilians killed
