@awstar11 695 Israeli civilians (not 1200), and almost certainly 50% of those were killed by the IDF (I don't think they'd have been able to disable tanks and shoot down Apaches if they had their guns either).
"I had never once been called an anti-Semite until I criticized the Israeli government. We have high standards for every other world power, but when it comes to Israel, they get to do whatever they want."
— Ana Kasparian
She is absolutely right.
The Israeli government consistently weaponizes the Jewish faith as a political shield to silence international criticism and dodge accountability for its actions.

I can no longer say I suffer from shock, but I am deeply disappointed, if not angered, by the continuing humiliation of the senior flag officer corps in the United States of America, as now General McKenzie humiliates himself with this absurd suggestion about KHARG Island.
Only someone who is a complete neophyte on Iranian issues — and can definitely NOT read the room after the millions of Iranian people came out to mourn and show their anger at the United States after the assassination of the supreme leader — would ever even *suggest* that holding a piece of terrain in the northern part of the Persian Gulf would somehow cause the government in Tehran to tremble and submit to Washington.
Even if possession could be maintained, it has no bearing on control of the SOH, and one wonders if the General is even aware of that.
But much more to the point, to even make such an effort would be near suicide for every American we would send there, as they would be pulverized, within range of nearly every weapon system Iran has. We would not hold the terrain, we would suffer tremendous military casualties, and would still fail to pry the SOH loose from Iranian hands.
It is a disgrace to the senior officer corps in America that he even makes such a claim.
@rickh1956@DanielLDavis1 What have you learnt about Roy Cohn, if you dont mind sharing. I saw a pic of him, the guy looks terrifying and a an absolute psycho.
There is no possibility President Trump‘s claim is true. This is the latest evidence that either the president is in serious cognitive decline, or he is an incurable sociopathic liar.
Iran has been consistent, public, and emphatic about its positions, and they have virtually remained unchanged throughout this entire conflict and in the MOU period.
They are not going to relinquish control of the SOH, and they are going to insist upon the conditions of the MOU be honored by America, primarily relief of sanctions and release of frozen assets. Until or unless those things are done, there is no chance that they’re gonna “gave up everything“ as President Trump here claims.
As long as he is the decision-maker about war and peace, we seem locked into conflict with no exit in sight, and therefore the likely continued deterioration of our economic situation.
Once a recession starts to deepen, one wonders if enough people will finally recognize that we have been lied to all along.
Why was Ben Shapiro’s security team speaking with Charlie Kirk’s security within minutes of the assassination, as he confirmed?
How did he know so fast before Charlie even arrived at the hospital?
Combine that with Charlie pressing Ben hard the day before.
Huge red flag.
@kbalian90 Zionism is the, "latest manifestation of fascism" and should be cast into the darkest pages of the history books along with the terrorist state of Israel!
BREAKING: U.S Democratic Representative Ro Khanna has become the first American congressman in history to be detained by Israeli settlers while on a visit to the West Bank.
🚨 DISGUSTING: Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu openly confesses to horrific war crimes on camera.
He explicitly admits to illegally expanding settlements to permanently divide and conquer Jerusalem.
The Zionist regime is systematically stealing Palestinian land with zero shame!
