⚡️BREAKING:
A "Shahed-like drone" which targeted an RAF base in Cyprus was not launched from Iran, says a Ministry of Defence spokesperson.
Who launched it? Could it be U.S or Israel to drag more actors into a war with Iran?
⚽️BREAKING⚽️Together with fellow UN Independent Experts, I call on @FIFAWorldCup and @UEFA to suspend Israel from int'l football over the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
Reinstatement can come only when genocide is over, occupation is over, apartheid is over.
Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza must end now. Israel must immediately lift the blockade and reinstate the UN-led aid distribution system.
Actions, not words, will save Palestinian lives.

The true concern for Israel and the US lies in preserving Israel’s status as the Middle East’s sole nuclear power. This monopoly allows Israel to exert unchallenged military dominance over an oil-rich region the West seeks to control.
Israel’s nuclear arsenal renders it untouchable, emboldening it to intimidate neighbors with the "Samson option"—the implicit threat to deploy nuclear weapons to counter any perceived ‘’existential’’ threat.
For Israeli leaders, an "existential" threat encompasses any challenge to Israel’s settler-colonial project, which continues to forcibly displace and oppress Palestinians.
Israel’s nuclear capabilities empower it to act with impunity across the region, perpetuating a genocide against Palestinians and denying their rightful claim to their own homeland.
Israel’s current assault on Iran is a calculated bid for regime change in Tehran, designed to entrench Israel’s regional hegemony.
That is what lies at the core of the matter: regime change.
In 1951, when Iranians democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh, a lawyer and intellectual, as prime minister, the US and Britain worked to orchestrate his downfall. Mossadegh’s primary offense was reclaiming Iran’s oil industry—and its revenues—from British control.
Within two years, the US-led Operation Ajax ousted him, reinstalling the Shah as a dictator. Israel, of course, played a sinister role in all of this, training Iran’s Savak secret police in torture methods honed on Palestinians to suppress Iranian dissent.
The West’s relentless stifling of Iran’s democratic aspirations predictably fueled resistance to the Shah, creating an opening for Islamist movements to dominate the opposition.
In 1979, these revolutionary forces overthrew Western-supported dictator Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned from exile in Paris to establish the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In 2003, Ali Khamenei, successor to Ayatollah Khomeini as Iran’s supreme leader, issued a religious fatwa prohibiting the development of nuclear weapons, deeming them against Islamic law.
That is why Iran has exhibited considerable reluctance in pursuing nuclear armament, notwithstanding Israel's constant provocations and claims to the contrary.
Following the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers in 2001, the neocons exploited the event to undermine Iran’s influence.
General Wesley Clark revealed that, days after the attacks, Pentagon officials disclosed a plan to "take out seven countries in five years," targeting key states in the so-called “Shia crescent,” despite most hijackers being from "Saudi Arabia."
Since then, all listed states have been attacked, with Iran—named as the seventh and most formidable target—remaining the final obstacle to Western and Israeli ambitions.
Israel began by obliterating Gaza—genociding and starving its people. It then targeted Hezbollah’s strongholds in southern Lebanon. Following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, Israel occupied more Syrian territories, destroyed its remaining military infrastructure, and cleared a flight path to Iran.
These are the actions that laid the groundwork for Israel- US current war of aggression on Iran.

It was Israel's "defensive" conquest of the West Bank and Gaza —occurring 58 years ago this month—that solidified its portrayal as a beleaguered "victim" and established the foundation for the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
In this distorted narrative, Israel remains the eternal victim, absolved of accountability for the suffering it inflicts on those it continues to dispossess and destroy.
On 5 June 1967, Israel launched invasions of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Within six days, it occupied the Gaza Strip and Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula up to the Suez Canal—for the second time in a decade—along with the entire West Bank from Jordan and Syria’s Golan Heights.
While the Arab world calls this invasion the “June 1967 War,” Israel and its Western imperial allies falsely claim Israel was “invaded” rather than the invader of its Arab neighbors.
The Western mainstream’s support for Israel appears to grow in direct correlation with the brutality it inflicts on its victims.
The Nakba it unleashed in 1948 and the apartheid regime it enforced on the Palestinians it failed to expel between 1948 and 1967 were celebrated as monumental triumphs of “Jewish victims” over the people whose lands they stole and whose lives they have shattered ever since.
It was Israel’s “defensive” and almost mythical ability to devastate its victims in 1967 that convinced the West of its superior civilizational stature.
That war set the precedent for Israel’s so-called “preemptive” campaigns, which extend its colonial dominion while allowing it to masquerade as the righteous victim.
Unsurprisingly, Israel’s Western allies have repeatedly invoked this legacy, not only following its recent attacks on Iran but throughout its genocidal assault on Gaza and its broader aggression in the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen. To them, Israel is not merely defending itself but serving as a proxy for the West.
Its current onslaught stands as yet another vivid example of what Western “victims” believe they are entitled to do to their non-Western victims.

Trump spoke of Palestinians being "settled" in a place where they would no longer be "worried about dying every day"—a euphemism for escaping the relentless slaughter inflicted by Israel with American-supplied weaponry. Meanwhile, Gaza itself would be transformed into the "Riviera of the Middle East," a playground for "world’s" people"—specifically wealthy people like himself—living in luxury beachfront estates and displacing the rightful inhabitants.
If the United States "owns" Gaza, as Trump asserts, it will also possess Gaza’s territorial waters, which contain substantial reserves of untapped gas to benefit the enclave’s new "owner." Palestinians have, of course, never been permitted to develop their gas fields.
Trump unveiled his genocide plan as if he genuinely cared for the welfare of the Palestinians. As if he were a savior rescuing Palestinians from a calamity-ridden earthquake rather than from a genocidal neighbor he proudly deems as Washington’s closest ally.
The ceasefire’s lie runs deeper still. Having reduced Gaza to an uninhabitable wasteland—a death camp—Israel has now shifted its genocidal sights to the Occupied West Bank, incrementally deploying the same ruthless strategies honed over 18 months in the coastal enclave.
The ceasefire’s lie crowns a tower of prior lies: tales of Hamas beheading babies and orchestrating systematic rape, claims devoid of a shred of evidence. It also fueled fresh lies, like Biden’s January 15 suggestion that the ceasefire would enable Palestinians in Gaza to "return to their neighborhoods." Except those neighborhoods are a memory now—erased by the billions in munitions the Biden administration funneled to Israel to flatten Gaza.
The ceasefire is a lie because everything about the past 18 months has been a lie. It is merely the latest link in a chain of lies, each crafted to bolster the other, weaving a grand, overarching fabrication: the giant lie.
This giant lie spins a tale of a decades-long "conflict" with the Palestinians, framing Israel’s actions as a desperate "war of survival" in a hostile region. Yet it conceals the stark truth: this is the West’s final settler-colonial project to erase an indigenous population, here in the oil-rich, strategically vital Middle East.
Within this giant lie, Hamas "started a war" on October 7, 2023, by breaking free from the suffocating concentration camp that Gaza had become after at least 16 years of Israeli-enforced deprivation. The giant lie casts Hamas as the ‘’terrorists’’—not Israel, which has spent three-quarters of a century illegally occupying, colonizing, and besieging Palestinian lands. The giant lie insists that Israel’s slaughter of tens of thousands of men, women, and children, alongside the maiming of countless more, was a necessary campaign to "eliminate Hamas," rather than the genocidal intent that every major human rights body has recognized.
In the giant lie, the International Court of Justice’s ruling over a year ago—that there were "plausible" grounds to suspect Israel of genocide—was conveniently erased from Western discourse by politicians and media. Far from heeding this warning, the West rushed to arm Israel with the very bombs that fueled the massacres, now placing Israel on trial for genocide at the World Court.
Within this giant lie, Britain’s current Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended Israel’s starvation of Gaza’s people as lawful, calling it "self-defence." Journalists and fellow politicians, meanwhile, tiptoe around his statements to shield his reputation, even as the International Criminal Court charged Netanyahu and his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, with crimes against humanity for that same starvation policy.
Within the framework of the giant lie, Hamas is accused of holding "hostages," while the thousands of Palestinians—among them hundreds of doctors, aid workers, and children—abducted by Israel as leverage in ongoing exchanges are labeled "prisoners," supposedly "arrested" as "terror suspects."
This same giant lie insists that Israel’s government had no choice but to devastate Gaza to retrieve the "hostages," even as it ramped up its bombardment in the final days before the ceasefire took effect, showing blatant disregard for whether those "hostages" killed under its own fire.
In this giant lie, Israel’s flattening of Gaza, its aid blockade, and the starvation of 2.3 million souls were somehow "proportionate" and defensible—rather than a deliberate campaign to render the enclave unlivable, aimed at driving Palestinians out into Egypt’s Sinai or scattering them across the Arab world.
The "ceasefire" lie fits perfectly into this giant lie.
It’s the giant lie that claimed Biden had "worked tirelessly" for a ceasefire he could have secured mere days after October 7, 2023, with a single phone call to Netanyahu. The "hard-won" ceasefire— exactly identical to a proposal available in May—was stalled because Israel demanded more time to execute its genocide.
It’s the giant lie that lauded Biden and Trump for a diplomatic triumph with the ceasefire, while for over a year, millions of protesters—slandered as Jew-haters, brutalized by police, and jailed—demanded precisely the same. It’s the giant lie that has long painted Washington as an "honest broker," despite its role as Israel’s chief arms supplier, its loudest defender, and its most fearsome enforcer.
This giant lie demanded the forcible removal of two reporters from Blinken’s farewell press conference on January 16, 2025. Each dared to expose the nakedness of Emperor Biden, shattering the illusion of benevolence.
The giant lie needed to be protected at all costs.
Despite the claims of Western politicians and media, the ceasefire resolved nothing. It merely granted Palestinians a fleeting pause from their most acute suffering—until Israel, as expected, shattered the ceasefire and reignited its genocidal campaign.
The ceasefire is a lie because it rests on a foundation of relentless lies: the myths that ‘’Israel is a normal Western liberal democracy’’, that it ’’yearns for peace with its neighbors’’, and that its military is the "most moral army in the world." These are not mere misrepresentations but are deliberate, repeated mythologies ingrained into the minds of the masses since day one.
Israel is no ordinary settler-colonial state that aims to displace the indigenous people whose lands it seeks to claim. It is the most extravagantly armed, excessively coddled settler-colonial project in history, one that thrives on a scorched-earth doctrine toward the region it occupies.
The truth is that everything fed to us about Israel is a lie. No restoration, no healing, can begin until these lies are dismantled and the reality of Palestine’s plight is laid bare.
⚡️ 48 hours ago, the CEO of World Betar was in New York helping @Betar_USA compile dossiers to deport pro-Palestinian students.
Today, he’s in Gaza fighting & killing Palestinians with the ‘IDF.’
This isn’t a youth movement.
It’s a global fascist network—building blacklists in the West & pulling triggers in Gaza.
Genocides may occur through the use of gas chambers. Or they could be carried out using machetes. Alternatively, they may be executed with 2,000-pound bombs and support blockades. Genocides seldom have uniform characteristics. They all aim to accomplish the same goal: the eradication of a population.
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) concur that Israel is pursuing extermination. Its aim is explicit, corroborated by its actions on the ground.
Only the willfully blind, including Western leaders and their media, remain in denial. Worse than denial, they actively cooperate in this ultimate crime against humanity by providing Israel with the necessary weapons, information, controlled media, and diplomatic support and suppressing all internal opposition so that the genocide can continue.
The current age of international humanitarian law, as represented by the West, along with the institutions it advocated to maintain it, is crumbling.
Israel has systematically sought to reinterpret and undermine the rules of occupation and warfare, notably through its prolonged siege and recurrent assaults on Gaza over the past 16 years. It intermittently "mowed the lawn," killing thousands of civilians, while putting the wider population “on a diet” for 18 years, tightly restricting their caloric intake.
The genocide perpetrated by Israel is not merely ruthless, as is the case in several other wars. It has been outrageous, even celebratory, in its rampant destruction. The bombs hit the designated "safe zones" declared by Israel. They targeted hospitals, schools functioning as shelters for displaced families, bakeries, mosques, and churches.
It is not Hamas that is being eliminated in Gaza. It is the fundamentals of humanitarian law that encompass the principle of "distinction" between combatants and non-combatants, as well as the principle of "proportionality," which evaluates military advantage against the risk posed to civilians.
This is occurring openly, obscured solely by the refusal of Western leaders and media to acknowledge what is evident to everybody.
Israel is not “remaking the Middle East.” It is obliterating the world as we have known it for generations.
Israel, with the backing of Western capitals, has made it clear that there is no safety, even for people healing in a hospital bed from Israel's prior atrocities. There are no "non-combatants" or civilians. There are no rules. Everyone is a target.
This now encompasses not only the populations of Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, but also the institution intended to uphold the humanitarian legal frameworks established post-World War II and the Holocaust: the United Nations.
Israel's confidence to pursue its genocide in Gaza to the farthest extent stems from its awareness of having disrupted the international order, coupled with Washington's complete support.
There is little doubt that none of this would occur if the US were genuinely opposed to the war. Israel lacks the economic resources and military capabilities to maintain a war against the Palestinian people, Lebanon, and Iran.
The possible detonation of weaponry in the region comparable to numerous atomic bombs exists due to the United States deep pockets and limitless indulgence.
We are entering a phase characterized by industrialized extermination carried out in the name of a supposed western civilization.
In 1929, during the tumultuous interwar period, the Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci notably stated:
“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”
The old world is perishing once more. It believes it is responsible for the emergence of the new and the remaking of the Middle East. However, it is wrong. It is not fighting monsters. It is the monster.
The new will not be born until existing monsters are vanquished.
I just sent an email to all political parties telling them I won't support any candidate who doesn't stand up for Palestine in this election: https://t.co/1KRb71fGRg
What most people don't get about the incident in Miami where a Jewish man shot two other Israelis whom he thought were Palestinians is the (inter-Jewish) racism:
The shooter is an Ashkenazi. A white European Jew. His victims are Arab Jews. To him, brown Jews look like Arabs. But that's only because they are.
If there ever was a more perfect demonstration of the fake and made-up idea of a Jewish ethnicity, or nation, I never heard about it.
His victims, by the way, would rather he shot them again than admit they're Arabs. Zionist brainwashing is the strongest propaganda material invented by mankind
-
And so Arab Jews would rather die than face their Arabness, and white Jews would rather kill Arab Jews than acknowledge the humanity of Arabs
