This is not a rant by a random genocidal lunatic. It's a public post by the national security minister of the Israeli regime.

The genocidal death cult headquartered in Tel Aviv is a threat to all of humanity. It threatens all humans. Its only interest is permanent war.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 The inside story of how the war started is more damning than anyone imagined

The New York Times just published the most detailed account yet of Trump's decision to attack Iran.

Every American should read it.

February 11th. Netanyahu arrives at the White House for a classified Situation Room briefing. Mossad on the screens behind him.

He plays Trump a video montage of potential new Iranian leaders, including the exiled son of the Shah.

He tells Trump regime change is within reach.

The missile program can be destroyed in weeks. Iran won't be able to close Hormuz.

Retaliation against U.S. interests would be "minimal."

Trump's response: "Sounds good to me."

Every single one of those assurances turned out to be wrong. Iran closed Hormuz.

Retaliation hit six countries. The missile program survived underground.

The regime consolidated power instead of collapsing. And 44 days later, Trump accepted a ceasefire on Iranian terms.

February 26th.

The final Situation Room meeting. Trump goes around the table.

Vance: "You know I think this is a bad idea, but if you want to do it, I'll support you."

Rubio: "If the goal is regime change, we shouldn't do it."

Cheung, the comms director, warned it contradicted everything they'd said for eight months about Iranian nuclear facilities being destroyed.

The CIA director said regime change was possible "if we just mean killing the supreme leader."

Nobody said no.

Everyone deferred to the president's instincts.

The Treasury Secretary and Energy Secretary, the two people who would need to manage the largest oil supply disruption in history, weren't even in the room.

Neither was the Director of National Intelligence.

The next day, aboard Air Force One, 22 minutes before the military deadline, Trump sent six words:

"Operation Epic Fury is approved. No aborts. Good luck."

The Iran–U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both.

The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

That’s now how it works. They are the ones who were attacked, they’re the ones still being attacked, they’re the ones being threatened with war crimes and genocide, and they’re the ones who did a ceasefire last year with Israel and the US…only to get attacked again this year.

@IsraelMFA Now show what you did in Gaza.

[The DeshBhakt 🇮🇳 @TheDeshBhakt]

Columbine & Sandy Hook were some of the deadliest school shootings in modern US history. About 20 kids lost their lives in each of these incidents.
These mindless acts shook a nation & changed the thinking of an entire generation.
Now multiply that shock & burning rage atleast eight times to begin with… if you want to understand how Iran is seeing things.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Pentagon to Congress: there was no intelligence Iran was planning to attack first.

Trump's claim that Iran was building missiles to hit America was apparently not backed by U.S. intelligence.

This war was a choice. The Pentagon just basically said it behind closed doors.

As we are on the verge of another attempted “regime change”, this time in Iran, we must remind ourselves of history.

From Vietnam to Iraq, the dissenters of unnecessary conflicts have time and time again been proven right while the architects of war offered only belated apologies after millions of innocent death. If war is once again being sold under the guise of necessity, we must ask: who benefits, why now, and how many lives will be buried under the cold jargon of "strategic interests"?

As Muslims, our dua against injustice is not a mandate for silence, but a call to action. There is nothing un-American about resisting oppression, and there is nothing Islamic about remaining silent in the face of it.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Don't let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected--be careful Republicans!

🇵🇸🇮🇱 A video is from 2023:

An Israeli settler pointing a gun at a Palestinian farmer.

"This land is mine now. Get out. Never come back"

The farmer's family worked that land for generations.

The settler flew in from Eastern Europe.

No comment needed.

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.

Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 WEST BANK HAS SEPARATE ROADS FOR ISRAELIS VS PALESTINIANS - SAME HIGHWAY, DIFFERENT LANES, BASED ON YOUR LICENSE PLATE

2 parallel roads. Same region. One flows freely. One's gridlocked for hours.

The difference? Your license plate color.

Yellow plate (Israeli): Take the bypass road. Drive straight to your settlement. No checkpoints. Fast. Direct.

Green plate (Palestinian): Banned from that road. Take the congested alternative. Wait at checkpoints. Add 2-3 hours to your commute.

This isn't hidden at all.

It is infrastructure policy.

Route 4370 has a literal concrete wall down the middle. One side for Israeli traffic. Other side for Palestinian. Built into the road design.

Hundreds of kilometers of West Bank roads work this way. Israeli settlers get unrestricted access. Palestinians get restricted access or banned entirely.

The justification: Security.

After the Second Intifada (2000-2005), Israeli citizens - including settlers - were targeted in attacks on shared roads. Solution: separate roads. Settlers get protected routes. Palestinians get alternative paths.

Israeli government calls them "fabric of life roads" - infrastructure that lets both populations move while maintaining security separation.

The reality: Palestinian from Ramallah needs to reach Jerusalem (10 miles away).

They can't use the direct bypass road (restricted to Israeli vehicles).

They must take alternative route through multiple checkpoints.

Journey time: 1-2 hours (if permit granted).

Israeli from same starting point: 15-20 minutes.

That's privileged infrastructure for settlers, restricted access for occupied population.

If nothing else, this creates an economic stranglehold. Palestinians can't reach jobs, markets, hospitals efficiently. Time costs money. Restrictions cost opportunities.

Meanwhile settlers living illegally (per international law) in West Bank get better road access than the population that's been there for generations.

The settlements context:

These bypass roads don't just exist in a vacuum. They connect illegal settlements to Israel proper. They were built specifically to let settlers live deep in West Bank while commuting easily to Israeli cities.

Palestinians living in their own territory face restrictions. Settlers occupying that territory get highways.

B'Tselem, Israeli human rights org, has tracked this for 20+ years. Their reports show:

- Hundreds of km of roads Palestinians can't use
- Journeys taking 2-3x longer due to forced detours
- Economic damage from movement restrictions
- System that privileges settlers over occupied population

UN agencies confirm the same patterns.

Netanyahu just told Christians Israel's the only Middle East place they can live safely.

Meanwhile Palestinians - including Palestinian Christians - can't drive on half the roads in their own territory without permits they can't get.

That's the system. Completely different access based on whether you're occupier or occupied.

The video shows it perfectly: Israeli traffic flowing free while Palestinian traffic sits gridlocked meters away. Because the infrastructure was designed that way.
