2 weeks before migrants from Morocco invaded Ceuta, the GOP passed a bill with $40 million for Morocco and a committee report advising:

Spanish-administered cities of Ceuta and Melilla are located in Moroccan territory and remain the subject of Morocco's longstanding claim.

Sky News reports that a 28-year-old Palestinian woman, six months pregnant and suffering severe internal bleeding, was being transported from Qaryout in the occupied West Bank to Rafidia Surgical Hospital in Nablus when Israeli soldiers stopped her ambulance at the Awarta checkpoint.

Video shows Israeli forces detained the ambulance crew for more than 30 minutes, subjected the bleeding, critically ill woman to a physical search, and ordered the driver to turn off the engine, cutting power to the vehicle’s onboard medical equipment.

During the forced delay, a nurse was forced to deliver the fetus stillborn inside the stranded ambulance. The woman was eventually allowed to proceed to the hospital, where doctors performed emergency surgery and saved her life. The baby could not be saved.

For years, Israel was using 2,000lb American bombs to kill Gazan refugees in tents. Both the Biden and Trump administrations permitted it.

A precedent was set.

Now it appears the US is doing the same in Iran.

A 2000lb bomb was dropped on a family house in Qeshm, killing a taxi driver (the father), the mother, and a 2-year-old, according to @nytimes.

Yes, a taxi driver. And a toddler. And his mother.

"The Times found no indication of a military site near the family’s home or any reports of military casualties from the strike."

Marco Rubio pretends that the International Criminal Court jeopardizes American sovereignty. What he really wants is the right for Americans to commit war crimes even on the territory of ICC member states with impunity. No one buys that form of "justice." https://t.co/pbOQ9RLPbg

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Karim Khan's sexual misconduct was used by Netanyahu to try to escape the charges against him, even though they were the product of a full team of prosecutors and approved by three judges on the ICC pretrial chamber. Khan's dismissal removes this deceptive argument. The charges are valid and will stand. If Netanyahu wants to contest them, he should show up in The Hague (the way former Kenyan president Kenyatta did), not make specious contentions from afar. https://t.co/uAMQyJEn3F

If you want to see why Grok is such a useless, right-wing AI bot, here is its response on whether Fetterman calling Zeteo "pro-Hamas" is wrong.

Notice what's missing from this 'AI'? Any actual evidence that Zeteo has been "pro-Hamas."
Don't blindly trust AI, especially Musk's!

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

You’re not dead, the Palestinian baby is.

And you’re not Israeli, you’re a British Jew. Stop conflating the two. That’s antisemitic.

Imagine how much you must have loved war for this to be said at your funeral...

Trump at Lindsey Graham's funeral:

"He never saw a war that he didn't like..."

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

If Elon Musk, the richest man alive, really believes "money won't matter" in 2036, he'd support a 5% tax on his wealth & the wealth of other billionaires to make sure all Americans have a decent standard of living.

The fact that he doesn’t tells you everything you need to know.

[John Kiriakou @JohnKiriakou]

Horrifying. We are in an undeclared war, at the behest of a foreign government. And this is how they celebrated when bombing started.

OMG!!

"In April 2024, then-Mayor Eric Adams hosted a group of active duty Israel Defense Forces soldiers at City Hall to honor them for fighting in Gaza.The meeting was kept off Adams’ public schedule, and his staff were directed to not post anything about it on social media due to concerns about it taking place as Israel had escalated strikes in Gaza, killing thousands of civilians." https://t.co/e3IKQtY6jz

Tomorrow is Lindsey Graham's funeral.

Here is some previously unseen footage of his monstrous reaction to Trump starting the illegal war with Iran.

[laughing]
- We have done it!
[more laughter]
- I almost cried! [of happiness]
- How long have we pushed this?

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

On March 4, a week into the illegal war with Iran, Lindsey Graham says that within 3-4 weeks, the Iranian government would lose control over some cities.

And by the end of that week, the Arab states would be more "openly" involved in the war, he predicts, suggesting that some Arab states were secretly involved in the war from the outset.

We are now on day 150 and not a single Iranian city has fallen.

America is so much worse off listening to this warmonger's deranged fantasies.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

"There is a country in the Middle East, whose name begins with an 'I' that has not just nuclear power, but nuclear weapons... Israel. It doesn't allow inspectors in."

Nice to be back on @MSNOWNews, with @AliVelshi, discussing Israel's actual nukes vs Iran's imaginary ones.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Israel is shifting away from its traditional strategy of relying on American-led groups like AIPAC to advance its interests in the U.S., and is instead increasingly hiring foreign agents to ramp up its influence efforts, per a new paper from foreign policy think tank the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

— Israel has spent over $1 billion on public diplomacy efforts since 2023 — including more than $100 million on efforts to influence the U.S. disclosed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, per the new report from @nick_clevelands, a research associate in the Quincy Institute’s Democratizing Foreign Policy program. The country is now on track to be the biggest FARA spender this year.

Case closed on @elonmusk’s Islamophobia, he doesn’t even bother to deny it in his new interview with @zannymb and @TheEconomist:

Zanny: Are you anti-Muslim? 
Elon: Um, I am I'm against. Having, if people are coming to a country with antithetical views, I am against that. I'm against that, you know I'm, against. I'm against rape and murder, I'm against the imposition of rules and laws that are. Contrary to what we've come to accept in the West. And I think it's a crying shame that the sort of traditional media like you don't recognize this.
