Israeli jews in the West Bank are "defending themselves" by draining the water tank of Palestinian family so their livestock will die.

פרסום ראשון הרמטכ״ל הזהיר אמש בקבינט: צה״ל הולך לקרוס לתוך עצמו. אני מרים 10 דגלים אדומים זמיר הוסיף: צה״ל צריך עכשיו חוק גיוס, חוק מילואים וחוק הארכת שירות חובה. המילואים לא יחזיקו מעמד את הדברים הדרמטיים האלה אמר הרמטכ״ל בפני ראש הממשלה, ראשי מערכת הביטחון והשרים. נכון לרגע זה לא נמסרה תגובה מטעם צה״ל

Vance suggests Iran could have used nuclear suicide vests: “You talk about people who walk into a crowded supermarket and have a vest on, and they blow up the vest and a couple of people get killed, and that's a terrible tragedy. What happens when what's on the vest is not something that can kill a couple of people, but can kill many, many tens of thousands of people?”

Radical Israelis have allegedly established a settlement in Area A of the West Bank, which is under full control of the Palestinian Authority. The violence in the West Bank is absolutely unacceptable. Horrific stories of Radicals in the West Bank attacking Palestinian civilians, murdering animals, and even torturing Palestinians are far too common these days. Watching all of this unfold is beyond tragic. Israel must crack down on these violent radicals.

This is a complete and perfect replica of the WMD and "proof in the form of a mushroom cloud" bullshit that was used to sell the Iraq War (including by The Bulwark's Bill Kristol, but whatever):

🚨I asked a senior Iranian official about Trump’s claim Iran requested an extension on Trump’s threat to bomb energy infrastructure: “[Trump] is not being truthful. We have not submitted any request regarding potential U.S. attacks,” the official said.

Ben Shapiro—after telling his audience for months that bombing Iran wouldn't lead to a wider war, and then claiming the war was just going to be a quick bombing campaign—is now telling Americans to prepare for a long war. "There is no way to extricate ourselves from this situation right now." Americans only got "tired" of Vietnam after 50,000 troops died, he says. "Our" military members are "heroes" because they're willing to "sacrifice" their lives "for a greater good"—a future world where "energy will become cheap again because the Strait of Hormuz will be free again."
