Thank you, Iran, for having the integrity and fortitude to call out the terrible crimes of Israel and its Western backers. Thank you so much...

The illegality of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank is one of the most well-established positions in international law, resting on four distinct pillars:

📜 GENEVA CONVENTIONS
Article 49(6) of the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) explicitly prohibits an occupying power from transferring parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies. Israel ratified the Convention in 1951. The International Committee of the Red Cross, the authoritative interpreter of humanitarian law, has consistently held that this provision applies directly to the settlements.

🌐 UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS
The Security Council has repeatedly affirmed settlement illegality — including in binding resolutions the US did not veto:
• Res. 446 (1979): settlements have "no legal validity"
• Res. 465 (1980): calls on Israel to dismantle existing settlements
• Res. 2334 (2016): passed 14-0 (US abstained), explicitly states settlements constitute "a flagrant violation of international law" and have "no legal validity"

⚖️ ICJ RULINGS
• Advisory Opinion on the Wall (2004): the Court found settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, had been established in breach of international law, and that the wall built to protect them compounded that illegality
• Advisory Opinion on the Occupied Palestinian Territory (2024): the Court went further, ruling that Israel's continued presence in the OPT — including the settlement enterprise — is itself unlawful, and called on all states not to recognise or assist it

🏛️ UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Countless UNGA resolutions have reaffirmed settlement illegality, including Res. 77/247 (2023), which requested the landmark 2024 ICJ opinion.

No serious legal scholar disputes this consensus. The settlements are illegal. The only remaining question is whether the international community will act on it.

Westerners love to whine about how tyrannical and authoritarian Iran's government is, but it's worth noting that the control Tehran exerts within its borders is a major reason US-Israeli efforts to turn the nation into a giant Libya have failed. That control exists to thwart precisely the type of existential foreign threat that Iran just thwarted. Were it not for that existential foreign threat, such control wouldn't be necessary.

The US has openly admitted to deliberately fomenting the domestic unrest we saw in Iran earlier this year, and to attempting to arm insurgent factions. Those foreign threats were put down by precisely the "tyranny" you've seen western liberals and anarkiddies decrying in Iran all year.

The fact that the US-Israeli war failed to achieve the government-toppling goals set out by Washington and Tel Aviv means that Iran was able to inhibit the visibility that US and Israeli intelligence agencies had into the nation, because you only fail to accomplish a military objective you think you can accomplish if your enemy is able to surprise you. Countering US and Israeli intelligence operations, rooting out US and Israeli intelligence assets, blocking US and Israeli propaganda from domestic consumption, and obstructing US and Israeli visibility into Tehran's government and military could only be achieved by a strong government that's willing exert forceful control over what goes on inside its own borders.

Westerners like to point at the "authoritarianism" of the few remaining enemies of the US-centralized empire as though it proves that we're looking at a struggle between a beneficent and virtuous civilization and a bunch of evil tyrants, but really all it proves is that the only nations who are able to resist absorption into the imperial blob are the ones who are willing and able to exert control over what happens inside their borders. If the US and its allies weren't constantly working to subvert and topple all unabsorbed nations, this "authoritarianism" wouldn't be needed to resist it.

Israel burned this child alive using white prosperous manufactured in the US. The way she screams & reaches upwards for anyone to end her agony will never leave me.

"Pedestrians always have right of way"

No they don't. They have priority in most cases. You shouldn't begin crossing when the red man is showing. Still, there is an onus on the cyclist to avoid a collision. Which - if you watch the video - you'll see they did.

The replies to this are fucking astonishing. Here are some facts:

The cyclist didn't break the law. They had a green light. Cycles are permitted to turn left there as per the clearly visible sign.

Ask yourself why the people one paycheck from disaster are often the most ferocious defenders of the system that put them one paycheck from disaster.

It's not irrational.

It's the last available source of dignity.

If the system is fundamentally broken, fundamentally rigged, fundamentally indifferent to whether you live or die, then the years you spent believing in it, working within it, sacrificing for it, were wasted.

Worse than wasted.

They were the actions of someone who didn't see what was obvious.

That is a very hard thing for a person to accept about their own life.

It is easier, psychologically, emotionally, in every way that matters in the moment, to defend the system than to accept that you gave decades of your life to something that was never going to give anything back.

The defense isn't about the system.

It's about not having to grieve your own time.

Ana Kasparian joined me to discuss the challenges of talking about Israel, and the hate she's received for speaking out.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

The Western drive to dominate Iran has always been there — since before Israel even existed, and before the Resistance Axis or Islamic Revolution. And it has always been driven by imperialism and control of oil/gas.

It is not separate from Venezuela, Ukraine, Gaza. Same campaign

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

The British oil company that became BP discovered Iran's oil. When Iranians realized they were being robbed, they nationalized it — so MI6 & CIA toppled their democracy in 1953, installing a dictatorship. Iranians rose up in 1979 & the West has never forgiven them for it.

This is wild. 🤯 This guy literally got arrested just because he didn't print out his train ticket.

He paid for the journey and had the proof right there on his phone, but the officer didn't care because it wasn't printed. Instead of using a bit of common sense, she just went straight to arresting him over a "company policy."

“The Israel brand is destroyed.”

On Downstream, Matt Kennard tells Aaron Bastani that Israel is turning increasingly to the law to discipline critics since its reputation has been shattered.

In a country of just nine million people, Kennard adds, it’s not surprising that Israel has fought so hard the lobby the governments of former imperial powers.
