There hasn’t been an active nuclear weapons program in 🇮🇷 since 2003, as confirmed by all Western intelligence agencies, but now Netanyahu is trying to scare the voters in Israel 🇮🇱 with images of a nuclear attack against Tel Aviv. He seeks a mandate for renewed war. https://t.co/vQG55WGp53

Israeli forces seize Palestinian homes in Hebron at gunpoint and raise Israeli flags over them.

An update from me...

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Imagine if in 1943 FDR had decided that the US would stop helping Britain and instead would side with the Third Reich. That's a bit like what President Trump is now doing by cozying up to Russia as it tries to destroy Ukraine. Utterly shameful. A humiliating moment for the US.

We now hear that 🇺🇸 and 🇷🇺 are also discussing joint data centers. Good luck with that. Europe will certainly not join in. Not difficult to know which interests in 🇷🇺 that will be jubilant over this.

Hard-On for Putin, Tough on Ukraine

Look at the graphic above and read down each column. On the left is how the Trump administration has treated Vladimir Putin, the man who launched the largest war in Europe since 1945. On the right is how it has treated Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the duly-elected leader of the democratic country Putin invaded. Hold the two side by side and the pattern is obvious. The aggressor gets stroked. The victim gets ultimatums and threats. This week highlights the pattern.

Trump strokes villainy and abuses our allies. https://t.co/HmQRA1SXmR

“A beautiful deal”, "a rotten fish" and a very long journey back to Russia. My reflections on a dramatic week. And Valentina has sent me a present. #ReadingRussia

[Göran Rosenberg @gorberg]

Utmärkt.

[Ulf Kristersson @SwedishPM]

Met President Zelenskyy today. Sweden’s message to all our friends around the world is to put more pressure on Russia, and more support for Ukraine.

Not the other way around.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

Either this is true, which would be a terrible sign that the President is not in control of his own Pentagon, or it's false, in which case the President is lying about a crucial national security issue for some reason.

This is the deed of state-sponsored terrorism. The state sponsoring it must be treated as such.

💢 "I don't know how a parent can raise such monsters," American photojournalist Heidi Levine said from her hospital bed in Ramallah after masked Israeli settlers beat her in the West Bank on Friday.

"They are Jewish terrorists," the Washington Post freelancer said. She
was attacked while covering the olive harvest in Abu Falah. Levine said the settlers pushed her to the ground and kicked her "probably 50 times" over about 10 minutes, tearing her cameras and phone off her. She said her flak jacket and helmet likely saved her life before Palestinian colleagues and medics evacuated her by ambulance.

"Sadly, none of them will be prosecuted," she said. "I am sure of it."

What was Zelenskyy's misstep?

Criticizing our president who, by turning off Starshield, is actively helping Putin kill Ukrainian civilians as a strategy to pressure Zelenskyy to stop fighting the Russians because, allegedly, that will help lower diesel prices? That's not a misstep; that's leadership.

The world is getting tired of our friendly-advice lectures on how to delicately deal with crazy Uncle Trump.

And the pattern is clear. Those who push back on Trump's irrational ideas fare better in the long run than those who try to appease him. Xi figured that out. Carney figured that out. Machado tried the opposite, and it didn't work out too well for her.

What about the guy who started the slaughter?

Sudden restrictions on Starlink use seem designed to create problems for 🇺🇦, and are in all probability linked to present tensions with 🇺🇸. European countries are wise to take note and intensify efforts to avoid undue reliance on 🇺🇸 systems.

[Göran Rosenberg @gorberg]

@muhammadshehad2 Sad and revealing about the Israeli propaganda factory.

[Göran Rosenberg @gorberg]

Inget är idag mindre chockerande än att fd nynazister som en gång sjöng antisemitiska nidvisor och heilade på sin fester träder fram som Israels bästa vänner. Antisemiter är de i regel fortfarande efter ett glas eller två.

Det enda de kan komma överens om på vänstersidan är hatet mot Israel.

Med ett S-V-MP-C-styre av landet har antisemitismen i Sverige aldrig haft bättre förutsättningar.

Israeli settlers causally stole olives & lemons from a Palestinian home, guarded by two armed IDF soldiers, & started dancing & laughing in the owner's face as the soldiers kept him locked up inside his home & threatened him when he dared film
