🔺 IRGC and Quds Force Issue Dual Warnings: No Regional Peace Without Full Israeli Withdrawal from Lebanon
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its elite Quds Force issued separate statements Thursday demanding Israel immediately halt attacks on Lebanon and withdraw from occupied Lebanese territory, and describing support for Lebanon an obligation of the entire region.
🔸In its statement, the IRGC declared:
➤ Israel “must immediately stop its attacks on the Lebanese people, withdraw without delay from occupied Lebanese territories back behind international borders, and recognize Lebanon’s territorial integrity”
➤ “Our primary condition for accepting a ceasefire in the regional war has been a ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon”
➤ “The Lebanese nation is the pride of the Ummah and a symbol of the honor of the region’s peoples — Iran will support them with all its being”
➤ “No calm will be established in the region without withdrawal from the occupied areas of Lebanon”
➤ “The Lebanese nation will not allow the occupying regime to achieve through a forced agreement what it could not achieve through war”
🔸Quds Force commander Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani added that Israel must “withdraw to the positions it held before the start of the 40-day war” and that “supporting the resistance in Lebanon is the duty of all of us.”
🔸Iran’s Foreign Ministry has separately said a Lebanon ceasefire is “an integral part of any ceasefire and any final agreement” with the United States.
Senior Editor at The American Conservative @AKDay89 says Israel is sabotaging peace talks with repeated strikes in Lebanon because Netanyahu’s political survival depends on keeping the war going.

“He’s the best candidate by far. And probing into the minutia of his personal relationships when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous”
Reporter: “The NBA Finals game you're going to, the cheapest ticket price is $8,000. Everyday Americans can't afford these sporting events.”
Trump: “You can watch it on TV. It's sort of semi-free to watch it on TV. That's the way life goes.”
Rather shocking remarks at the Park East Synagogue on Sunday from former Israeli UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan: “Message to Mayor Mamdani: We survived Amalek, we survived Hamas, we defeated Iran, we overcame Pharaoh — we will overcome Zohran Mamdani as well.”
Did you know the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations—on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League, American Jewish Committee, and other Jewish groups—told Congress in 2024 that FISA was needed for "the safety and security of Israel"?
In case it wasn't clear already which foreign government really wants the deep state spying programs to continue (they get raw NSA data on Americans fed to them)
I hate to be the bearer of bad news:
@RepGoodlander — a recently elected neocon Democrat who is married to Jake Sullivan — sided with Trump and Hegseth and voted against the Lebanon War Powers Resolution
John Podhoretz and Seth Mandel discussing how Seth’s wife Bethany has been the one helping to coach Lyndsey Fifield through her “exposure” of Graham Platner 😂
All 3 of Netanyahu’s main opponents in the next election condemned him for surrendering to the US & agreeing to a “ceasefire” in Lebanon. They say he sold out & became a “vassal state” of the US. So if you’re thinking getting rid of Netanyahu makes Israel better - think again
CURT MILLS: The Israelis are trying to front-load a bunch of arrangements with the United States in the 2020s before the worst happens to them in the eyes of the American public.
It is high time for a recalibration of our relationship.

KIRIAKOU: “The Israelis have always spied on the United States.”
THEO: “Do we spy on them also?”
KIRIAKOU: “No, that's written in stone at the CIA.”
THEO: “Why can't we spy on them?”
KIRIAKOU: “It's a political decision that's been made in the White House.”
I was the op-ed editor of the New York Post at the time of the Kavanaugh hearings and described the accusation culture against him as “totalitarian” in a column under my own byline.
Lebanese President seems eager to sacrifice his population to the Greater Israel Project. Iran wanting Israel to stop mass murdering families and blowing up houses = "using Lebanon as a bargaining chip," he says

Anna Paulina Luna is a pathological liar with a fake name who has buried elements of her life story.
So it's no surprise she would fabricate a violent attack.
But there's a more salient issue that has been lost in the drama: Luna (real name: Meyerhofer) has been targeting Medea Benjamin and Code Pink in a McCarthyite witch hunt with no concrete basis, accusing them of being Chinese agents based entirely on innuendo.
Luna's bogus investigation and her fake assault claims are of a part. Both are designed to criminalize antiwar dissenters and ensure that warmongers like herself are never challenged to their face by American citizens.
