Pro-Israel. Anti-Obama et al.
More and more challenging to try and understand what's happening -- and what's being allowed to happen -- in a world gone mad.

[AJ Steel Show @ajsteelshow]

If I were Israel's Netanyahu, I would change the equation by announcing: Any direct attack by Iran’s proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis) will immediately trigger a massive strike on Iran.

That's the only language Muslims understand. That’s how you survive in the Middle East!

[Dumisani Washington @DumisaniTemsgen]

Correct.

[Jonathan Conricus @jconricus]

Whether firing 30 ballistic missiles at Israel or downing an American military helicopter, the answer against Iranian regime aggression should be the same: swift, strong and decisive.
The Iranians tried to limit Israeli freedom of action against Hezbollah - and failed. They should not be allowed to curtail US freedom of action either.

So if the NBA calls this a Flagrant 2, Wemby is ejected and, since it would put him at 4 flagrant points for the playoffs, automatically suspended a game.

The series is over if that happens.

I guess that's why they didn't.

But it's clearly a Flagrant 1

@MikeBloomberg @AlvaradoJose15 In NYC, you never know who you'll bump into. Or where.
Wish you were still Mayor.

[Joseph Gelman @JosephGelman]

I am hereby demanding that Donald Trump stand down and not react to the attack on US forces😆. He better be careful otherwise he’s going to find himself all alone against Iran. 😂

The hypocrisy and stupidity writes itself. 😉

[Michael Podwill @MichaelPodwill]

If Wembanyama had plowed into Mike Bloomberg, the ex-Mayor would have been charged with both flagrant and technical fouls. Possibly even suspended.

[Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸 @Bubblebathgirl]

🏀 Former NYC Mayor Bloomberg Got Hit by Knicks Guard Jose Alvarado during Game 3 at MSG: The hustle play went full speed as Alvarado dove for a loose ball and accidentally plowed into Mike Bloomberg (84) courtside.

Bloomberg was shaken but okay afterward — Alvarado immediately checked on him.

New York intensity on another level! 🔥

Go Knicks! Unfortunately, the Knicks are down 111-104 now with only a minute left in the game.

Hope they can hustle out a win!

No, congressman. The only real path to stability is for the Iranian regime - and all its proxies - to be eliminated. Anything less, any "truce" or "deal" is an engraved invitation for future travesties.

[Rep Josh Gottheimer @RepJoshG]

Iran’s unprovoked attacks on Israel were reckless. It broke the months-long fragile truce and put the entire region at risk of full-scale war.

The only real path to stability is for Iran to uphold the truce and come back to the negotiating table.

[Michael Podwill @MichaelPodwill]

this.

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

I don’t understand why a response is necessary. Just yesterday you told Israel not to retaliate after Iran attacked, not a helicopter, but the country itself, with hundreds of missiles.

So is the United States now trying to sabotage the beautiful deal that’s been close for months?

[Michael Podwill @MichaelPodwill]

So, Mr. @POTUS, you try to muzzle Bibi Netanyahu when Israel is attacked. But now you say: "The United States MUST, of necessity, respond to this attack."
Why the two standards, one for you and one for an ally against a common enemy?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

This is how great leaders respond to attacks. Go POTUS!

[Michael Podwill @MichaelPodwill]

If Trump were WWII Potus:

No more unconditional surrender. I spoke with Hitler, a great guy, a professional. I'd like to meet him. And I'd like to make a great deal -- let the Nazis keep it all, from Normandy to Kursk. And this: A long term agreement on their buzz bomb & jets.

[Chico Muya @chico_ray]

This guy really does suck.
I had a brief moment of liking him after he came into office.
Turns out, he knows nothing of geopolitics.
He gives off Tucker Carlson/groyper vibes—but he’s just way more intelligent than all of them. Which is worse.
He speaks well, but the more he speaks, the more you dislike him.

[Michael Podwill @MichaelPodwill]

Breaking per @CNBC: A US Apache helicopter was attacked by Iran over the Strait of Hormuz.

I hope Bibi Netanyahu counsels his trustworthy friend, Trump, NOT to respond. NOT to attack.

Because remember, "the deal" uber alles.

[Matthew RJ Brodsky @MattRJBrodsky]

This is correct. At this point, Trump is just angry, loud, and in the way.

[唐柏桥 @tangbaiqiao]

又一次团灭？伊朗恐怖政权和背后主使以为在美国牵制住川普就万事大吉了。没想到以色列会单兵作战直到黄龙。我理解川普的难处，但更支持内塔尼亚胡“虽千万人吾往矣”的决绝勇气！历史从来都是为勇者而书写的。一个不到千万人口的弹丸之地，如今却傲视全球。以色利，好样的！

[Ayn Reagan @AynReagan]

A home run! Vance is wildly enthusiastic about making a deal with Iran. He sounds like Obama. Whom he admires. And Sanders. Whom he admires. And Ocasio-Cortez. Whom he admires. And Mamdani. Whom he admires. But not Netanyahu. Whom he despises.

[Joseph Gelman @JosephGelman]

Iran better hope that Trump sticks with Israel. Because Trump is the only thing keeping Iran from a world of hurt that it can expect from Israel unleashed.

[Michael Podwill @MichaelPodwill]

Trump tells Israel to "do what's right, but I want you to stop as quickly as you can."

That way, Trump can get back to doing what he KNOWS is wrong. He wants his disgraceful "deal" with the "professional" barbarians in Teheran. Why? Because "we want to get it finished."

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

.@POTUS on his call with PM Netanyahu: "I said, 'Do what's right, but I want you to stop as quickly as you can' — because they have to stop. This had to do with Lebanon, and it has to stop. We want to get it finished."

[AJ Steel Show @ajsteelshow]

Facts: During the Iran war, Trump urged the Iranian people NOT to rise up against the mullahs yet. Then he kept 10 Million Kurds from attacking the Islamic regime and blasted them for stealing U.S. weapons.

Did Trump ever truly want regime change, or was the fix in from day one?

[Michael Podwill @MichaelPodwill]

Trump talks about the prospect of Israel losing US backing.

The last few months we have seen the kind of "backing" that Trump has to offer. And it smells real bad.

[Israel Force @IsraelSpoofX]

🚨 JUST IN:

🇺🇸🇮🇱 President Trump reportedly warned Netanyahu to step back from further escalation — or risk facing Iran without U.S. backing.

Netanyahu's Response: "Israel is not weak—we have the strength to defend ourselves, with or without support
