FFS, who writes this stuff for the Times? How dishonest are they? It’s an illegal invasion and occupation of Lebanon, not an expansion of ‘territory it controls.’ Can you imagine the NYT talking about Russia and Ukraine like this? Zeteo.com/subscribe

Hur hade det rapporterats om det var Ryssland som skulle annektera en bit av Polen?

Former CIA Director John Brennan: “I tend to believe Iran more than I do Donald Trump because he could not acknowledge the truth even when he’s slapped in the face with it repeatedly.”

🇨🇺 Cuba’s Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernandez de Cossio: “Yesterday we published that 96,000 Cubans are waiting for surgery as a result of lack of fuel and lack of energy, among them 11,000 children. So I would think that the American people would feel, why does our government treat the whole population of Cuba in this way? And I hope that the people of the United States would understand that it’s not correct to treat another nation in the way the U.S. is doing it simply to try to achieve political goals.” Watch this full exchange.

What Israel is doing in the Middle East right now violates every precept of international law. It is acting with utter disregard for other nations’ sovereignty, attacking civilians and infrastructure at will, and allowing pogroms against Palestinians. Where is Canada’s voice??

When you kick a hornet's nest, it's the hornets which decide when it's over

Streets of Havana right now. Full blackout across the entire island. Hospitals, nursing homes, people's lives....all in total darkness. For US imperialism.

This is a reprehensible post for X to allow, targeting @s_m_marandi and putting a bounty on him. It is also a "Paid partnership." Imagine the outcry if a pro-Palestinian or pro-Iranian group did this with Israelis or Americans. Criminal charges would be filed.

Huh? Israel isn't alone because Netanyahu hoodwinked Trump to join this war-of-choice, a crime of aggression, against Iran. If Trump ultimately abandons Israel, as he should, it will be Israel's own doing. The people who are really alone are the Palestinians, victims of genocide.

🇾🇪💢 Houthi leader: “All options…are on the table” Some key comments: 🔸 On the objectives of the war: “The American-Zionist aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran comes because they consider it the greatest obstacle in this Ummah. The enemies are trying to remove the Islamic Republic because they hope to be able to control the situation in the region in general. It is very clear in America and in the West that the ongoing aggression against the Islamic Republic is a Zionist aggression within the framework of Zionist beliefs. The main headline of the Zionist aggression against the Islamic Republic is reshaping the Middle East and establishing ‘Greater Israel.’” 🔸 On the U.S. administration: “The official composition in the Trump administration, including what is referred to as the Secretary of War, is a Zionist composition. The U.S. Secretary of War is one of the most prominent believers in Zionism, adhering to its ideology and actively working to implement its plans. The so-called Zionist U.S. Secretary of War openly and explicitly adopts hostility toward Islam and Muslims, and even insults the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). The U.S. Secretary of War advocates for an American crusade against Muslims, and has authored a book years ago under that title.” 🔸 On their position: “Our stance toward the aggression against Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine, and the violation of holy sites, is a principled position of hostility toward the Zionist enemy and a commitment to exert efforts to confront it. We affirm our support for Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, and the holy sites, and our readiness at the military level as required by developments on the ground. All options at the military level are on the table. Escalation and the expansion of aggression are the path of the enemies in their actions in the region, and this is what we observe through our monitoring of events and our tracking of the enemies’ directions.” Full speech: 👇

UPDATE: Israel says displaced Lebanese people won't be allowed to return home 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/s2q1rc?update=…

All of the people in this country whose official job involves "fighting antisemitism" seem to all be working overtime to directly associate Judaism and Jewish life in America with mass murder and overwhelmingly unpopular wars. An odd strategy!

BREAKING: Israel just killed 12 paramedics after dropping bombs on a medical center in Bourj Qalawayh, southern Lebanon. This is a massacre. From Lebanon to Gaza to Iran, Israel deliberately targets and slaughters those who save lives — doctors, nurses, and paramedics.

What an embarrassment -- the United States under Trump stands alone in opposing U.N. efforts to advance women's rights.

Remember when ISIS destroyed Palmyra? it was called it barbarism. When the Taliban destroyed the Buddhas of Bamiyan, UNESCO called it a crime against civilization. When Russia hit Ukrainian heritage sites, every Western leader condemned it within hours. Isfahan has stood since 1598. One of the most beautiful cities ever built by human hands. Baalbek's temples have stood for 2,000 years. Persepolis was built in 515 BC, before Rome, before Athens' golden age, before Alexander. Today they're being damaged by American and Israeli bombs. The same world that wept for Palmyra is silent for Persepolis. The same leaders who called the Bamiyan destruction "a crime against all humanity" have nothing to say about Isfahan When brown people destroy heritage, it's barbarism. When Western allies do it, it's just collateral damage. 2,500 years of Persian civilization. And the world watches in silence because the bombs have American flags on them.

NEWS: The man who rammed his explosives-laden truck into a Michigan synagogue today was named Ayman Ghazaleh, according to a source familiar with the situation. Ghazaleh posted photos overnight of his family members, including young children, who were killed in a recent Israeli attack on the town of Mashghara, Lebanon. This is a developing story.

So it’s not a legal system. It’s an apartheid system.

Israel is destroying branches of a financial institution that serves as a lifeline for thousands of people in desperate need. These attacks are unlawful and must be investigated as war crimes. bit.ly/3PwjiPQ
