Lewis: I found the PM's comments about the Iran war being worth it to be really disturbing, shocking as a Canadian. I want to know who the PM thinks it was worth it for. For thousands of civilians who were killed, for the 168 schoolgirls who were killed on the very first night ... Who was it worth it for?

🚨 THE U.S.-IRAN DEAL EXPOSES LEBANON'S GOVERNMENT🚨

I recorded this video before the U.S.-Iran deal was announced. But the deal only makes the question more urgent.

If Washington and Tehran can now move toward a regional ceasefire framework, including Lebanon, then what exactly was the Lebanese government doing while Israel was bombing the south, destroying towns, occupying Lebanese land, and speaking openly about future expansion and building settlements?

Lebanese officials openly admitted that Lebanon has neither military power nor economic power to negotiate with Israel, so their strategy is to go to Washington, cry to the Americans, and ask them to pressure Israel.

Sorry, but this is beyond parody.

This is why many Lebanese consider the attempt to disarm Hezbollah under such circumstances as a national suicide.

Whether one agrees with Hezbollah’s ideology or not, the reality on the ground is simple: it remains the only force capable of imposing a military cost on the Israeli occupation forces stationed inside Lebanon.

And now, with the U.S.-Iran deal putting Lebanon at the center of the regional equation, the Lebanese government looks even more exposed.

Because if Israel fails to achieve its objectives in Lebanon, those Lebanese officials who gambled on Hezbollah’s defeat will have to answer whether they were defending Lebanon or managing Lebanon’s surrender.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Germany’s failure to secure a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council — for the first time in decades — is a stark rebuke from the international community. It reflects growing global outrage over the German ruling establishment’s irresponsible, hypocritical, and complicit stance toward the genocide in Gaza and US-Israel’s military aggression against Iran.

Germany, one of the largest suppliers of lethal weapons to Israel, has consistently justified the genocide of Palestinians. And when the Israeli regime launched its aggression on Iran, Berlin refused to condemn it; instead, it shamelessly described it as “dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us.”

The world is changing. Nations are no longer judging governments by their lofty rhetoric about international law, but by their actual behavior. Those who choose to ignore this shift will inevitably pay a heavy diplomatic price.

Je reviens d’une semaine de reportage à Homs, où j'ai vu l'un des visages les plus sombres de la nouvelle Syrie.

Depuis la chute du régime Assad, plus de 300 personnes ont été tuées dans cette ville et sa province, pour la plupart des civils alaouites. C'est énorme.

Zionism is absolutely amazing! It's banned speech to say otherwise. Here's what happens when a Zionist goes up against an anti-Zionist Christian Pastor @JoelWebbon

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

A Global Sumud Flotilla participant just testified from the depths of an Israeli detention center

"I was illegally kidnapped by Israel - like 425 other people."

"Handcuffs on my hands and feet. Dragged me. When I couldn't walk, they dragged me on the ground."

"They hit us. Hurt all of us a lot. Handcuffs so tight my hands lost feeling."

"They laughed all the time. Super sadistic."

"Took off my shirt. Took pictures. Mistreated us all night long."

Then she delivered her message to the world:

"Shame on you. Shame on all of you. Shame on every government that keeps trading with Israel. My government is complicit. Europe is complicit. The whole world is complicit."

EXCLUSIVE: Syrian officials launch media campaign to cover up kidnapping of Alawite woman Batoul Alloush
https://t.co/mn0AUjYGls

[Kevork Almassian @KevorkAlmassian]

Batoul Suleiman Alloush resembles the Syria we once knew…

Kidnapped. Enslaved.

[wvanwagenen @WVanwagenen]

Batoul Alloush’s case is almost identical to that of another Alawite woman who was abducted, enslaved, drugged, and forced to make videos denying her abduction last summer: Mai Salim Saloum. For full details about Mai, see this detailed Cradle report.

[Kevork Almassian @KevorkAlmassian]

🚨I'll host an EMERGENCY STREAM to cover the kidnapping & enslavement of Alawite women in Syria by thugs affiliated with the Jolani regime.

We need your support to reach the widest possible audience with this report, especially your representatives.

[Kevork Almassian @KevorkAlmassian]

We need @RealCandaceO and @AnaKasparian to shed light on the kidnappings of Alawite women by armed men linked to the Trump-installed, al-Qaeda regime in Syria.

Our Armenian grandmothers were enslaved in the same way during the genocide. We have a duty to speak up for Alawite women now.

[wvanwagenen @WVanwagenen]

My new book about the 2011 Syria war is now out.

It documents the origins of the the US/Israeli effort to topple the government of Bashar al-Assad, using Al-Qaeda as a proxy.

[wvanwagenen @WVanwagenen]

"Meanwhile, sources told the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) that suspicion is falling on the security official in Jableh, known as 'Salah al-Din,' indicating that he is overseeing Batoul's kidnapping and directly managing her detention."

@USAMBTurkiye words of “accountability” ring hollow when the government you support faces credible accusations from the UN, HRW & Amnesty of mass killings in March 2025 (1,400+ Alawite civilians executed on the coast) and July 2025 (1,700+ dead in Sweida, mostly Druze).
