For me, it’s déjà vu because it reminds me of 2015, when President Obama negotiated the JCPOA, the nuclear deal with Iran. Israel was also iced out of that negotiation. The United States did not share the details of those negotiations with Israel at the time, and here it appears to be happening again.
@RussOnPolitics Our district is only 9% Jewish. Latimer ( Catholic) has very strong relationships in his 35 + years in politics. Won by 17 points against a Black incumbent in a 50% POC district. Bowman’s allegiance is to the movement. He used D’s & we booted him out. No @NYCMayor job offer.
@SallyGold@InsideCityHall@DarializaforNY@errollouis The far left movement radicals document their beliefs on social media with the hubris that’s foundational to them. Every question she doesn’t answer is known & will be used in this campaign.

This antisemitic bigot should be blacklisted from all future employment.
Instead, he’ll probably end up as a deputy commissioner working for @ZohranKMamdani at City Hall.

36 council members co-sponsored Menin’s amended school buffer bill. Even among those who didn’t, many are endorsing against Mamdani’s Congressional picks (de la Rosa, Nurse, Restler, Hudson, Gutierrez). The truth is ZM’s political power is much more tenuous than people realize
@RussOnPolitics His Jewish constituency is anti-Israel Jews who were born Jewish but are largely indifferent to being Jews. The only time they express themselves as Jews is to show their public contempt for their birthright.
This is the 2nd or 3rd time Brad Lander shamelessly mentions that he attended the Rachel Goldberg-Polin book talk, an event where he came early, made the rounds & then left in the middle of her talk. Maybe he should read the book instead of using her pain for his political career
A must-read on the reality of El-Sayed’s record in Wayne County.

Nick Kristof is in hot water again for his journalistic "integrity."
The New York Times writer who wrote that Israel trained dogs to rape Palestinian detainees ran for governor of Oregon back in 2021.
When that failed (miserably) he returned to the NYT with a promise, he would either not write about, or disclose when writing about, people who donated to his campaign.
After all the scrutiny following his unverified dog-rape article, The NYT looked into it and found that Kristof had written about his campaign doners, very positively, without ever disclosing the connection.
Who would have guessed?

I've been waiting to comment or offer analysis on an MOU between the U.S. and Iran that I haven't seen, but we've heard a lot about Lebanon so let's address it.
If “Lebanon” now being included in the deal with Iran means *Iran* is forced to withdraw Iranian Hezbollah from Lebanon, from which they attack Israel and harbor terrorists, then great. But that’s not what’s being said or proposed at the moment.
The only reason Israel is responding in Lebanon is because Iranian Hezbollah keeps killing their soldiers with drones and sending bombs into northern Israel civilian communities. If Iran pulled Iranian Hezbollah out of Lebanon the fighting would stop. Further, if the UN had enforced UN Security Council Resolution 1701, held the line and kept Iranian Hezbollah north of the Litani River, Israel wouldn't be operating in southern Lebanon to push them back. If the Iranian regime hadn't colonized Lebanon with its terror proxy Hezbollah in the first place, there would be no issue at all.
A reminder: Prior to 9/11 Iranian Hezbollah was responsible for more American murders than any other terrorist organization on the planet. They currently operate in South America - our hemisphere - and partner with drug cartels. SOUTHCOM calls it "Jihad in the Jungle."
Just over the weekend in southern Lebanon, Israel took out Ali Musa Daqduq - an Iranian Hezbollah terrorist who killed U.S. troops execution style. The strike was extremely targeted, as the majority of them are. He's one of many Iranian Hezbollah terrorists. to whom the IDF has delivered justice - including Iranian Hezbollah leaders behind the Beirut bombings of the U.S. Embassy and Marine Corps barracks, killing hundreds.
Lebanon wasn't in the initial ceasefire deal - for good reason. It makes no sense that it is now, other than to give Iran what they want - which is another life line for their strongest and most organized terror proxy. This is an Iranian demand and objective. Counter to the "forever wars" narrative, this actually ensures there will be more war in the future. As the White House has repeatedly said about the goals of Epic Fury, "We’re ensuring that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, fund, and direct terrorist armies outside of their borders.” Lebanon is far outside Iran's borders and Hezbollah is operating there.
As the President of Lebanon said last week about Iran and Hezbollah, "It's not your country, it's our country...they are using Lebanon as a bargaining chip in their negotiation with the United States. It's unacceptable."
As for who the U.S. is negotiating with in Iran and claims of more moderate leaders than the previous regime being at the table (which I don't believe), you can thank the Israelis for taking out the top three levels of regime leadership so we have "normal" people to negotiate with.
Let the Israelis do what they need to do. Iran is still and always has been the hinderance to peace. That hasn't changed and giving Iranian Hezbollah immunity in Lebanon is appeasement that will prolong the conflict.
This is always the way. Gaslight Jews into believing that they're the real problem. According to people like Beinart, the real threat isn't that a genocidal Islamic theocracy wants a nuclear bomb to destroy Israel. It's that the Jews aren't willing to let it happen.
