La honte absolue.
Deux jours d’hystérie médiatique autour d’une polémique fabriquée de toutes pièces par l’extrême droite. Deux jours à harceler et transformer un enfant qui fait des batailles d’eaux en Jacques Mesrine.
Le résultat ? Une police chauffée à blanc par les médias qui s’en prend à un gamin de 14 ans qui n’a rien fait sinon jouer avec un pistolet à eau.
Voilà où mènent les offensives réactionnaires fabriquées : à réprimer des enfants pendant que les vrais problèmes, eux sont totalement esquivés.
So if you apply this logic to the 4,000 citizens of Lebanon that Israel has killed in their invasion, you’d have to ask how the US would react to an invading force killing 235,000 Americans, many of them women and children.
You really don’t want to do this calculation for Gaza.
🚨Reminder: Around 50,000 FIFA-accredited journalists are covering the 2026 World Cup.
Not a single foreign journalist has been allowed into Gaza for over two and a half years to report on the ongoing genocide.
Jeremy Scahill from @DropSiteNews tells @BreakingPointsN that the Iranian negotiation team added senior psychologists to review draft communications to Trump because they legitimately believe Trump is suffering from mental illness. Other countries are also concerned.
Watch
The head of a major DC think tank that has the ear of the president is effectively calling for assassination of an American journalist whose views he doesn’t like. This is where we are now.
@RimaHas@jnbarrot J'ajouterai (plus récent) Ali Abunimah: "the battle for justice in palestine." qui traite aussi en profondeur les parallèles entre la situation en Palestine et d'autres combats antiracistes et anticolonialistes.
Heureusement qu'on est en Démocratie, je viens de recevoir des images de Corée du Nord où la police court après des gens en maillot de bain car ils se sont baignés
Marco Rubio argues that "Operation Epic Fury is concluded" as the objectives were acheved. In reality, Iran won this war. There was no regime chenge, no nuclear deal, no limits of ballistic missiles and drones, no decoupling of ties between Iran and its regional allies, and the Strait of Hormuz is now under Iran's control. US bases in the region have been destroyed, the US alliance system has been weakened, and the petro-dollar will not recover. This epic failure was not just another failed regime change war, this will severely weaken the position of the US in the Middle East. All that was achieved was the murder of many Iranians and keeping the Epstein files out of the media.
Not for genocide.
Not for war crimes.
Not for occupation.
Not for colonisation.
Not for invasion.
Not for torture.
But for trading stolen grain, maybe.
The White House is completely silent as BBC confirms a consistent pattern of massive financial spikes occurring just minutes before Donald Trump makes market moving announcements. The administration is facing severe allegations of illegally profiteering off inside knowledge.
What a picture!
Israeli soldiers and settlers have prevented Palestinian children from going to school by blocking the routes with razor wire.
So instead, the Palestinian children take out their school books and start studying right next to the masked Israeli soldiers.
The US and Israel's strategic defeat in the war with Iran, and Iran's strengthened geopolitical position, may give the Abraham Accords a new lease on life.
The UAE, and perhaps other GCC states, may turn to Israel to balance against Iran since they either don't want to, or don't believe they can, reach a modus vivendi with Tehran. And because they understandably don't believe they can surely rely on the US any longer.
But the Accords will now be completely naked. No more pretense about creating peace in the region. Or that it will help the Palestinians. Rather, it's true and original intent will be clear for all to see: An anti-Iran coalition that adds to the region's instability.
Ironically, the Accords contributed to creating the circumstances that brought about the current war, and doubling down on the Accords will likely only make matters worse.
This meets the threshold for intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national group as set forth in 18 US Code § 1091 prohibiting the crime of genocide.
If any Iranians are killed pursuant to this threat, President Trump will be guilty of genocide, as will those assisting him.
Greta Thunberg:
“The President of the United States just said an entire civilization will die tonight, and never be brought back again, and no one is reacting.
This speaks for itself.
We have normalized genocide.
We have normalized the annihilation of entire peoples.
We have normalized the systematic destruction of the biosphere we all depend on.
We have normalized corrupt, racist war criminals acting with total impunity.
But it is not too late to say: STOP. If we don’t, we have no right to call ourselves human.”
Where are the human chains in DC?
Where are Democrats leading marches?
Where are the celebrities pretending to care about human rights in award shows?
Where are the intellectuals? The scholars? The veterans? The churches?
Where is ANY resistance to this?
Even Nazi Germany had some internal resistance.
This isn’t just Trump.
This is the collective failure of a society.
I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.
Wow!
Trump tells Fox News that the US "sent a lot of guns to the Iranian protesters, we sent guns through the Kurds, I think the Kurds kept them."
Trump reportedly said the weapons were sent after the Iranian gov started killing protesters in large numbers. Not sure that makes a lot of sense since the Internet was completely shut down at the time, and the US had very limited insight into what was happening.
I suspect he misspoke: The weapons were sent through Kurdish groups BEFORE the January 8-9 clampdown.
Either way, this admission by Trump rewrites the history of these dark days.
My suspicion is that the US and Israel had armed specific groups that infiltrated Iran but could not operate until large protests had erupted. When that happened - both organically and with the encouragement of Reza Pahlavi - these groups were activated and began using systematic violence against the state apparatus as well as civilian targets (banks, mosques etc).
The vast majority of Iranian protesters had nothing to do with or even awareness of this US/Israeli armed group. They were protesting peacefully. But the Iranian government appears to have made little distinction between the two and killed armed and peaceful protesters alike on a large scale - probably around 7,000.
