They'll never have enough of stealing our wealth/future, yet still insist we've got it made in comparison

Trump in other words: Iran has a right to defend itself

[Saagar Enjeti @esaagar]

The most important question of the day: Does the human watermelon JPod still give Trump permission to say 'Shylock'

[rostone @rostone__]

Well, obviously

Times Of Israel: 'Netanyahu to lean on right-wing pundits, pro-Israel senators, to influence final Iran deal'

"He plans to use media figures, such as Fox News’ Mark Levin, and pro-Israel politicians, to get his message across to Trump."

JD Vance attacks Ben-Gvir and Smotrich:

“What is your exact proposal? You’re a country of 9 million people. You can’t just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have.”

Like the Germans of 1919 the emerging view of the Israel lobby is they were "stabbed in the back." But those who did the stabbing were Americans who did not want to send their kids to die in their war and the rest of the world who did not run out of oil

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

There are 120 secret U.S.-funded biolabs in 30 countries. Anyone who tried to expose these foreign gain-of-function labs was threatened and silenced by the Biden administration and Fauci. This level of secrecy and intimidation should concern every American.

🚨 JD VANCE: “I really worry about with AI is surveillance… AI is fundamentally a communist technology. It allows governments and corporations to surveil people in very profound and different ways. And that scares me a lot…”

Collins absolutely loses her mind at the idea, from a Republican senator, that Iran has a right to defend itself

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran has suspended its entire 60-day negotiation period with the US over the direct violation of the MOU's first clause, with Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon constituting a breach less than 24 hours after the MOU was electronically signed, per Fars and Al-Mayadeen.

Iran's negotiating delegation had already been preparing to depart for Switzerland to launch the first round of talks before Iran made the decision to suspend the entire trip.

Iran will also not unilaterally fulfill its commitments, and until Iran is fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the US has practically adhered to the first-clause obligations, talks remain cancelled.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Everyone understandably gets a bit nervous when an agent of Israel starts threatening -- I mean, "predicting" -- a major mass casualty terrorist attack on American soil just days after the American President announces a deal that enrages all of Israel.

[Bryce Greene @TheGreeneBJ]

Elon Musk has been intimately involved in the US war against Iran - from sending Starlink systems to help CIA/Mossad backed rioters destabilize the country, to using AI to help murder its people

[rostone @rostone__]

Prob true, unfortunately

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

Trump picked JD Vance to be his VP after Peter Thiel and Tucker Carlson convinced him that the "anti-war America First isolationist" fake persona they built around him was popular for the election. Now another election is looming so they're trotting the bullshit facade out again, and then this Thiel-Mossad fraud will go right back to laundering the relaunching of the war on Iran just like he did before, and Tucker will go back to not saying a single word about him doing so just as he didn't over the past few months. This is the media game being played by these depraved scumbags.

[James Li @5149jamesli]

@LauraLoomer @grok You know the Israelis have literally been bombing churches in Gaza and desecrating Christian sites for years, so where’s your outrage about that?

[Sam Husseini @samhusseini]

Nobody in Congress would talk about impeachment for illegal bombing. But they’re apparently talking about impeachment for possible peace.

[rostone @rostone__]

WHAT THE FUCK

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it.

Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns and cameras, and they fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighborhoods.

Gaza City is extremely narrow, only 10 kilometers wide. A single crane at that height is enough to expose the entire city from east to west. Every street, every square, every tent, every house has become completely exposed. There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.

In just the past two days, three people were killed by fire from these cranes. One of them was sitting quietly with his father in a small café, trying to breathe for a few minutes. Hours later, a 5year old girl was killed while playing near her home.

These cranes have turned the entire city into an open field. The latest military technologies are directed at civilians. We have become an open testing ground for their new weapons. The horror is not just in the sound… it is the constant feeling of being an exposed target at all times, where even children cannot run in the street without fear.

🚨 TRUMP: “I think [Israel] could do better … I'm not saying they shouldn't protect themselves. I'm saying when two drones are shot into the desert and drop harmlessly, you don't have to knock down buildings in Beirut. They could behave better…”

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

In order to believe the war was an “operational success” but strategic failure you have to take seriously Trump’s claims that he sunk the Iranian navy or whatever.

Let’s be serious: Operationally, in reality, Iran destroyed our bases and drove away our aircraft carrier groups. They scared our troops into hotels. They closed the strait by force. We never succeeded in stopping them from firing missiles. Our planes and helicopters and MQ9s were downed.

An F5 got through our air defenses and lit up our Kuwaiti base; our allies responded by accidentally shooting down 3 of our planes.

In the past, it would take a Soviet level of direct censorship to get the press to describe that as operational success.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran warns of cancelling all upcoming negotiations, re-imposing the full Hormuz blockade and responding with missiles over the direct violation of the US-Iran MOU's first clause, with Israel continuing military aggressions in southern Lebanon, including last night, despite explicit commitment from the first clause to end the war and guarantee Lebanese sovereignty, per Tasnim.

Iran explicitly rejects any "theater from Trump" about Netanyahu being rogue, and now Friday's Geneva meeting to launch the first round of 30-day technical talks between Vance and Ghalibaf is on hold over the violation, as no trip has been confirmed or scheduled just 24 hours after the MOU was electronically signed.
