In that case, American taxpayer money should stop being used to bribe Egypt to play nice with Israel. If the Israelis are already plotting war in Egypt in 15 years, let's just save our money and see how that plays out.
I distinctly remember being the only person or one among two or three saying when the war started that it would be a military defeat for the US. Amusingly I know see everyone arguing that it was obvious from the start
The US is on the verge of a catastrophic error, one of very consequential and historic proportions, and this time an error of its own making, entirely of its own making
President Meloni, I believe you.
So let me turn back to you the question you posed to POTUS: why is there indulgence toward those who undermine the principles Italy claims to defend, while those invoking the Constitution, human rights, int'l law, are treated as a threat?
To put our Israel policy in context: imagine Russia invaded Ukraine, killed thousands of civilians and when one of the invading soldiers got killed we would express our solidarity and call for the whole of Ukraine to get burned as legitimate defence
Last year, the government blocked my Bill demanding an independent inquiry into its complicity in genocide.
Today, I've tabled it again. My question to any potential Prime Minister is: will you support an urgent inquiry, or will you block our efforts to expose the truth?
If you were to write this headline or article in a variety of US, UK, German or French media outlets, your career might be on the line and you’d probably be accused of antisemitism.
And yet the author of this piece is a former prime minister for Israel.

They raped a man.
They gang-raped him.
They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized.
Doctors documented the injuries.
The video of the assault was leaked.
Now the rapists are free.
This is not just unlawful and immoral. It is sick!

איראן, שזיהתה כצפוי את החולשה הבלתי נתפסת של ממשל ט��אמפ, מנסה להכריח את ארה"ב לכפות על ישראל לסגת מלבנון לחלוטין.
לכאורה, מטרת המהלך האיראני היא להשיג ניצחון אסטרטגי בסילוק ישראל מלבנון; בפועל, מדובר במהלך שאפתני הרבה יותר: האיראנים מבינים שנסיגת צה"ל מלבנון תביא לנטישת תושבי הצפון ולאובדן דה-פקטו, לראשונה בהיסטוריה, של חבל ארץ בתוך קווי 1948 של מדינת ישראל.
רה"מ נתניהו נמצא ברגעים אלה באחד ממבחני המנהיגות הגדולים ביותר שלו. עליו לעמוד מול הנשיא טראמפ ומול אמריקה ולמנוע נסיגה ישראלית מלבנון בכל מחיר, כי מחיר האלטרנטיבה הוא אסון בממדים היסטוריים, שאין לדעת היכן יסתיים.

I disagree that we are in a "New Cold War".
Rather, we are in a continuation of what we might call the Long Cold War, or the Great Anti-Sovereignty War, which has been waged by the imperial core against liberation movements and sovereign-seeking states in the periphery that have sought to break from their subordination and exploitation within the imperialist world-system.
The Long Cold War encompasses Western attacks against the Russian revolution and the Chinese revolution, through the long series of invasions and regime-change operations that targeted Korea, Guatemala, the DRC, Brazil, Ghana, Indonesia, Vietnam, Chile, Burkina Faso, etc, continuing well beyond the fall of the USSR with the invasions of Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc., all the way to the strangulation of Cuba and the invasions of Venezuela and Iran in 2026.
As I see it, the usual claim that the Cold War runs from 1945-1991 doesn't work, the periodisation is wrong. The core states sought to destroy the USSR as soon as it was founded, long before 1945, and in any case their violence was never only just against the USSR, or just against USSR-aligned states, nor even just against socialism; it was fought against any sovereign-seeking state in the periphery - including non-aligned states - that threatened to escape the imperial arrangement.
The Long Cold War is, in other words, an imperialist backlash against the long struggle for liberation in the periphery. This aggression didn't end in 1991, it continues today, and it will continue well into the 21st century until it is defeated. And defeated it will be.
