I used to be Rather Gingerly but now I'm just Joe C... and I have zero tolerance for evil or hypocrites 😡🤬 👊

@__Injaneb96 Yes indeed.

UNDERSTANDING #1: One party has all the time in the world, no pressure, no care for truth, and no change of radical intentions.

UNDERSTANDING #2: The other party is desperate and believe people will believe anything as long as gas prices go down a few cents.

@EylonALevy What about as part of the Vice President's new book tour?

Iran’s foreign minister just handed America a masterclass in diplomatic sleight of hand. The Iranians aren’t chastened — they’re already three moves ahead.

Hezbollah is Tehran’s attack dog. Iran can unleash it on Israel anytime, watch Israel respond, then declare the deal dead — citing an “Israeli violation” they engineered.

Israel was not even invited to the negotiating table but they are central to a trip wire that Iran has built and holds exclusively.

#Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters: Israel has violated ceasefire in southern #Lebanon 84 times over past 2 days, following US President's declaration of end of the war. If Israel does not end its evil acts in southern Lebanon, it must expect a harsh response from Iran

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.

[Joe C. 🙈🙉🙊 @WinterLions]

@kinsellawarren No need. Syria will take care of it. At least Carney and Trump can agree on one thing.

[Joe C. 🙈🙉🙊 @WinterLions]

Maybe Trump meant Turkey when suggesting Syria intervene and take care of business in Lebanon? 🤡💣🤪

[Joe C. 🙈🙉🙊 @WinterLions]

@angertab I think he mixed up Syria and Turkey. And he has lost his damn mind.

@DanielBShapiro Heck, there are tons of non-involved actors who'd risk their safety to sneak into Lebanon and launch some self-funded Amazon-purchased projectile towards Israel just to set the fun in motion and pile onto Netanyahu!

At only minute 4 you can see how @PeterBeinart has no idea what Palestinians or Arab society is.

Beinart is a good man. He wants every government to grant every citizen equal rights and representation. This is the essence of the Thought of Enlightenment and democratic government.

Where Peter is totally wrong is that any government can grant equal rights to its citizens only, the ones who subscribe to such form of representative government, pledge allegiance to the state and pay taxes.

No government can grant non-citizens such rights, and especially not to non-citizens who think the very existence of this government must come to an end and be replaced by a different one.

There is not a single Palestinian who wants to pledge allegiance to the government of Israel. How can Israel then extend these Palestinians any rights that it extends to its own citizens? Now there are Arab citizens of Israel who are granted equal rights, but who are not allowed to organize politically along ethno-national lines. If they're ever allowed to, their political platform might be to replace the Jewish state with an Arab or Muslim one. This is why the Israeli constitution identifies them as minorities: Citizens with equal rights but whose collective identity cannot shape public space or life.

I'm a naturalized American citizen. A prerequisite to naturalization was for me to pledge allegiance to the republic. If America engages in war against any of my ancestral homelands -- Iraq or Lebanon -- I'll take the side of America, without even blinking. If any other naturalized American thinks otherwise, then they are not citizens, or at least they are treasonous citizens or a fifth column.

Peter confuses the equal rights for every citizen with equal rights for every human. Modern States can't operate this way, which defies the concept of the nation-state and social contract (constitution).

Israelis and Palestinians have two national projects in conflict over the same piece of land. Israel tried sharing, but Palestinians insisted on the "right of return" of Palestinians, not to their Palestine-to-be, but to Israel. This is proof that Palestinian peace is not that much of peace. It's a way of winning in negotiations what they could not win through violence: Annihilate Israel and replace it with Palestine. Given the Palestinian posture, Israelis are reciprocating. The current situation between them is the famous Middle Eastern maxim: "Either kill or get killed." One side will finish off the other and keep the whole land. The two billion Muslims are trying to shame the world to take the side of the Muslims against the Jews. As a Muslim born Arab, I think the Arabs have 21 sovereign governments and have no need for an extra failing state. It is in Arab interest to cede the land to Israel in order to maintain diversity in the Middle East, especially that such a successful state like Israel can be an asset to Arabs and their future in knowledge economy.

Until Beinart understands this very basic concept of the state, he'll keep projecting an American understanding of civil rights into two ethnic groups in conflict, neither of which is interested in his alien American ideas that do not apply to them. And rightly so. The majority of Palestinians want all of the land to become Palestine. This is what "From the River to the Sea, Palestine whatever..." The Israelis reciprocate: Greater Israel, which means Israel within the Mandate Palestine borders, not the "from the Euphrates to the Nile" nonsense.

Beinart is a good man, but he's too naive and alien to a conflict that he knows very little about, even if he's a Jew.

They don't boycott the medications, scientific breakthroughs, procedures and the use of the technologies developed in Israel. They are performers. If you're going to boycott...boycott.
