the reason iran is a geopolitical threat is because they could block the strait of hormuz and cripple the world’s economy, something they have never done. so we bombed them until they did that

Israel and Pakistan 🇵🇰 heated spat at the United Nations Security Council after Israel mentions Pakistan repeatedly by name:

Pakistan SLAMS Israel, says it is an “occupier feigning victimhood, violating UN resolutions and committing state terrorism in Gaza”.

Pakistan further says, “We cannot accept insinuations from an irresponsible rogue state that is, in fact, the perpetrator of the worst kind of state terrorism that we are witnessing in Gaza and, in fact, in the occupied Palestinian territories for decades.”

they are going to destroy the Iranian state, nation and people. Khamenei and others in the political leadership are going to be killed soon. Iran has failed to establish deterrence. The entire leadership is concentrated in the figure of the Supreme Leader, the symbol of the state. They have also made the fatal mistake of not having a successor prepared, with a public presence and stature and recognition being cultivated and established many years in advance. So when they kill Khamenei, the state goes into full crisis mode immediately, and the process of its total collapse will begin.

A factional war will erupt in the political leadership class to choose a successor, dividing them when unity is essential. The divisions will reverberate throughout the broader public, and will be and already exacerbated by the activation of CIA-Mossad-MI6 proxy forces. The process of breaking up the Iranian nation and people along ethnic lines, a project that has been worked on for decades, will go into overdrive. Kurds, Azeri, Balochi and others will suddenly have their ready-made "freedom fighters" who will begin their "liberation movements". Simultaneously old and new proxy groups masquerading as this or that ideological faction will announce themselves: ISIS, Al-Qaeda, new "true Shia" who will do what the IRGC and army was unable to, yet somehow only seem to attack state entities.

Like vultures US-Israeli-NATO Gulf puppet regimes, from the Saudis to the UAE and Turkey, will, as they did in Syria, fund and arm their own pet groups to try to gain more influence and grab territory for themselves.

Meanwhile, right after the assassination of Khamenei, the US will join in the bombing campaign. Perhaps the UK and France too. They will hit all the essential military and economic infrastructure, like you saw in Syria after they overthrew Assad and Libya before it.

Iran is a nation of 90 million people. Tens of millions of lives are going to be destroyed. Mass exodus of refugees, mass murder and death, total chaos and anarchy.

And the Zionist Western media and political class will salivate over it like hyenas. Yet another nation and people destroyed for having dared resist our hegemony.

Incredible to see Israeli leaders shamelessly admitting 75% of Gazans are refugees whom Israel kicked out of "Haifa, Tiberias, Acre, Jaffa..." & stole their homes

So why do they now have to be kicked out of Gaza instead of allowing them to return to their dispossessed homes?

🧵Zelensky being publicly berated by US president and VP (a mass media spectacle par excellence) has left western Europe stunned, shocked, and floundering. There was much ‘unprecedented’ about the spectacle but I want to talk about something that isn’t being discussed.

[Mariam Barghouti مريم البرغوثي @MariamBarghouti]

The West Bank serves as an exemplary case of how international journalists were never interested in covering what’s happening to Palestinians.

Journalists claimed that Israel barred them from entry to Gaza and that’s why they couldn’t cover.

They can, however, enter the West Bank and yet somehow I’m not seeing any international journalists on the ground.

Malpractice doesn’t even cut it. This is active concealment of crimes against humanity in real time.

This is aiding and abetting a genocidal regime, while spreading disinformation about the reality of Palestinians.

There remains, among too many Americans, a prevailing delusion: that one can raze nations, dismantle entire peoples, and somehow remain untouched by the echoes of that violence.

The BBC News at Ten covered Netanyahu's visit to the White House at length and yet didn't mention once that he's wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.

How's that possible? Why does the BBC need to constantly tell us Hamas is considered a terrorist organisation by the UK government, but thinks Netanyahu being a fugitive from international justice is a far less important descriptor.

Professor John Mearsheimer:

“On 19 December 2024, Human Rights Watchissued a 179-page report detailing Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

“On 5 December 2024, Amnesty Internationalissued a 296-page report detailing Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

“On 21 November 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity and war crimes.

“On 26 January 2024, the International Court of Justice found that a plausible case can be made that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza…

“Given the West’s presumed commitment to human rights and especially to preventing genocide, one would have expected countries like the United States, Britain, and Germany, to have stopped the Israeli genocide in its tracks.

“Instead, the governments in those three countries, especially the United States, have supported Israel’s unimaginable behavior in Gaza at every turn. Indeed, those three countries are complicit in this genocide.

“Moreover, almost all of the many human rights advocates in those countries, and in the West more generally, have stayed silent while Israel executed its genocide. The mainstream media has made hardly any effort to expose and challenge what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. Indeed some key outlets have staunchly supported Israel’s actions.

“One wonders what people in the West who have either supported Israel’s genocide or remained silent tell themselves to justify their behavior and sleep at night.

“History will not treat them kindly.”

You bombed and killed Afghans, Yemenis, Somalis, Pakistanis - expanding the drone wars and normalizing the violence against our nations that had been undertaken by your Republican predecessor. You extrajudicially killed US citizens who were Arab & Muslim, including a 16 year old boy.

The bloodiest war against Palestinians, prior to this genocide, was on your watch - 2014 - and you defended it with your chest. Your party now is overseeing the slaughter of 2.2 million Palestinians in a concentration camp.

But yeah, scare us about immigration policies your own party has adopted, just under another branding.
