Because if the US were to acknowledge Israel's nuclear weapons, it would be subject to US sanctions for violating the nonproliferation treaty

[Bill Stearns 🍉 @wmsts]

@CaitlinDoornbos @POTUS Iran is a signatory to the NPT and does not have or seek nuclear weapons, while Israel, which has not signed the NPT, has a vast undeclared nuclear arsenal, making it a nuclear outlaw regime. This is very simple.

@SecRubio The US regime has committed magnitudes more crimes than Cuba, ceaselessly violating international law while doing everything in its power to subjugate Cuba to its corrupt imperial domination. You have zero moral authority, sir.

The 1948 Nakba is very well known, but the ethnic cleansing of 1967 is discussed far lesn, ad it was utterly horrific. Historian Adam Raz has p,ublishsed a well-resourced account in Haaretz today, built on Israeli documents. Here are the main findings:

1) Israel expelled and drove out roughly 300,000 Arabs in 1967, about 200,000 Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, and about 120,000 Syrians from the Golan, where only some 6,000 of an estimated 130,000 remained. One soldier described the Gaza raids: "We grabbed guys, stood them up and eliminated them. In hindsight it looks like murder."

2) This was not an accident; it was intentional policy, prepared for since the early 1960s. Defense Minister Dayan wanted the West Bank emptied and repeatedly welcomed reports of flight. Many villages were destroyed. The KKL later planted Canada Park over the ruins of Imwas, Beit Nuba and Yalu. One soldier said the columns of expelled families reminded him of Jews "trudging through occupied Europe," and his heart sank at the sight.

3) Those trying to return were slaughtered. Troops were ordered to shoot to kill without warning. When one soldier asked whether to fire even if he heard babies crying, the answer was: "Don't be a girl." The IDF itself reported nearly 150 Palestinians killed this way by early September, and Chief of Staff Rabin confirmed these were the standing orders.

4) Crimes were widespread: systematic looting, the execution of unarmed prisoners and civilians, and the bulldozing of Golan villages "so there'd be nowhere to return to." One of the officers who ordered prisoners executed was Moshe Levi — later IDF Chief of Staff. A soldier wrote to his girlfriend that they had turned Sinai into a "valley of slaughter," adding: "I saw too many murders to cry."

5) The legal warnings were ignored. In December 1967, Foreign Ministry legal adviser Theodor Meron wrote that the expulsions were "a grave breach of the Geneva Convention." His summary line captures the whole episode: the Ministerial Committee for Security Affairs "decided to approve the policy anyway."

This sounds incredibly familiar, doesn't it? This is the Israeli way of war, based one slaughter and ethnic cleansing. Nothing changed.

@esthersarrow @GarySpedding Far more innocent people have been butchered by those in the name of the Israeli flag, which most of us find incredibly sickening & offensive when we happen upon it, being the blood-soaked banner of genocidaires and amoral freaks.

@JonnySparrow @GarySpedding Fascists and genocidaires aren’t “normal,” they’re moral freaks.

Israeli authorities have transferred detained Gaza doctor Hussam Abu Safiya to solitary confinement at Nafha Prison after his legal team challenged the extension of his detention, according to his lawyer.

The lawyer says the June 3 transfer was punitive and has left Abu Safiya without necessary medical treatment.

Healthcare Workers Watch says at least 83 Palestinian healthcare workers are currently being held by Israel, including 75 from Gaza.

Ban Ki-moon, then secretary-general of the United Nations, commented on how, in his visits to some of the most forgotten areas of the world, there was a common factor: the presence of Cuban doctors.

“They are always the first to arrive and the last to leave.”

@nypost This guy was operating on innocent civilians while under fire, and here you are propagandizing on behalf of the lunatic mass-murders who injured the people he was helping! Pure Naziism.

I know this has created a strong reactions when I said it in the past but I have to say it again: the American public today seems to me more passive and docile than almost anywhere in the world. Ready to accept anything it is told to do or believe

I’m not sure this is understood in the West, so I want to emphasize:

Al Risala are Lebanese *Boy Scouts.*

They belong to the Lebanese Scouting Federation, the local affiliate of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.

The US affiliate is the Boy Scouts of America.

After Al Risala Scouts turn 18, they often become Scout leaders who serve as EMTs, firefighters, and search-and-rescue teams.

In the past 2 months, Israel has killed 27 Al Risala Scouts, Troop leaders, and associated young adult rescue workers.

Here are some of young Scouts killed by Israel. Neither the Boy Scouts of America nor the World Organization of the Scout Movement have condemned their murders.

[Matthew Petti 👨‍🎓 @matthew_petti]

They’re basically pushing a QAnon style conspiracy-religion at this point: the presence of an American doctor isn’t proof that Israel targeted an innocent hospital, being targeted by Israel is proof that the American doctor is guilty.

The committee refused to drop the NDAA provision that integrates our military with Israel’s. Cowards held a voice vote.

🚨 The Handala Hacking group claims responsibility for the car bomb assassination of a mossad agent in Tel Aviv:

"Urgent Announcement from Handala

We hereby inform the heroic people of the Resistance Front that, after months of surveillance, pursuit operations, and close monitoring, one of the senior managers of Mossad’s New Influence Unit (in Iran Desk )was Eliminated this morning on Highway 20 when a bomb planted in his personal vehicle exploded.

Will the security services of the Zionist regime dare to tell the truth, or will they continue to deny it?

This is the fate of criminals. Even the regime’s most security-protected individuals are not safe in their usurped homes."

@CaitlinDoornbos Quite frankly, she’s one of the loonier people in the think tank complex of paid imperial propagandists. Little more than a cheerleader for US/Israeli lawlessness and brutality.

[Ramy Abdu| رامي عبده @RamAbdu]

Breaking: After Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s legal team appealed his arbitrary detention, Israeli authorities transferred him on 3 June 2026 from Naqab Prison to solitary confinement in Nafha as a punitive measure. The move comes amid harsh conditions and denial of medical treatment.

@drsxr @DarioCpx @edzitron @nntaleb Having financial “skin in the game” would make him less objective, and objectivity is important when we’re dealing with such a massive issue. But he does have skin in the game - his credibility. Think for just a moment finance bro.

Hamawy served as a combat surgeon in Iraq, which we invaded based on lies told by Ari Fleischer. Hamawy told me yesterday that on heavy days of battle he’d operate on as many as 30-40 American servicemembers, triaging where he had to.

Ari bears significant responsibility for every single one of those maimed men and women that Hamawy worked to save.

Now to have the balls to link him to Al Qaeda is not remotely the most shameful thing he’s done in his life, but it has to be in the top ten.

@NewsLambert @DRHorton @Enquirer There’s been very little job growth witnessed elsewhere with these centers, so this particular argument doesn’t hold weight.
