Independent. We need politicians NOT under the influence of billionaires who believe and ACT on facts and science. The two party system has failed us.

"We don't take an oath to a king, or queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. And we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator, we take an oath to the Constitution and we're willing to die to protect it". - Mark Milley “Trump Floats the Idea of Executing Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley”

From the beginning of its creation, Israel has simply wanted peace, has simply wanted to live next door to neighbors who are not pledged to its destruction. And there will never be peace in the Middle East until Israel’s neighbors accept Israel. Period. Every word of this.👇

Muslims and their useful idiots keep repeating this “Greater Israel” fantasy as if saying it enough times will make it real. It won’t. If Israel were truly driven by a grand expansionist vision, it would be the most incompetent empire in history. Decades of military strength, repeated battlefield victories, and yet no lasting expansion. That’s not how conquest works. In 1947–48 The United Nations proposed a partition plan, two states, one Jewish and one Arab. The Jewish leadership accepted. The Arab states rejected it and chose war instead, launching a coordinated attack through the Arab League. Israel’s first war was not a war of expansion, it was a war of survival. From 1948 to 1967, twenty years, Israel did not expand. No “Greater Israel,” no creeping conquest. Just a small country under constant threat. Then came 1967. Gamal Abdel Nasser openly called for Israel’s destruction, massed troops, and closed the Straits of Tiran. Facing annihilation, Israel struck preemptively and took control of the West Bank (then under Jordanian control), Gaza (under Egyptian control), Sinai, and the Golan Heights. That was a security response to an existential threat. And here is where the “Greater Israel” myth completely collapses. 1979: Israel signs peace with Egypt under Anwar Sadat. It returns the entire Sinai Peninsula, territory several times its own size. In 1994, Israel and Jordan signed a peace treaty, and Israel returned disputed lands as part of that agreement. A Lebanon: In 1982, Israel entered southern Lebanon not to expand, but because Palestinian militias had effectively taken over parts of the country and were launching constant attacks across the border. Lebanon had become a base of operations against Israel. Israel pushed in to remove that threat. And then in 2000, it withdrew. No annexation. No “Greater Israel.” Just left. Gaza: In 2005, Israel withdrew completely. Every soldier, every settlement removed. That territory was not kept, not annexed, given up. The Golan Heights: Strategic high ground overlooking northern Israel, used repeatedly to shell Israeli communities before 1967. Its control is about preventing that from happening again. Security, not hegemony. Yet still, according to the testimony of former Egyptian President Muhammad Hosni Mubarak, Israel offered Hafez al-Assad a withdrawal in exchange for peace, but he refused. Every territorial move Israel made was driven by security threats, not expansionist ideology. And when those threats were credibly reduced, Sinai, Lebanon, Gaza, Israel withdrew. So where is the “Greater Israel”? Where is this supposed empire? It exists only in propaganda. Israel has repeatedly traded land for peace, withdrawn from territory, and avoided permanent expansion even when it had the power to do so. Meanwhile, the same voices pushing this myth ignore the actual history of conquest and domination in the region, where expansion was not defensive, but ideological. Withdrawing from the West Bank today, under current conditions, would not be peace, it would be suicide. It would mean creating another Gaza overlooking Israel’s core population centers. No serious country does that. No nation hands strategic ground to forces committed to its destruction. So again: where is the “Greater Israel”? It doesn’t exist. It’s a narrative, useful, repeated, and detached from reality.

@10FathomLine @FoxNews Retard, as in you retard facts even when openly provided to you. Fire retardant repels fire, a human retard repels facts. It’s not meant as name calling necessarily, it is an observable fact that throughout this conversation, no matter what data I point to…. so yeah, retard.

@10FathomLine @FoxNews I’ve been teasing you, I don’t mean to be crass, but you are a retard. Quite literally. Almost everything you say is wrong. Let me demonstrate regards to your statement about bombing: Japan WWII, Kosovo, Libya, etc. are all conflicts ended by the extensive use of bombing.

@10FathomLine @FoxNews You’re right, when Hamas puts their bunkers under schools (a war crime), and if we dare strike that target, I guess we are just as bad as them. They say that’s why they did that, for propaganda purposes, but maybe we should use the population as shields too? Is that okay?

@GuntherEagleman Obama did all that without shedding American blood and spending trillions of dollars.

@Jim_Jordan @JudiciaryGOP The International Iranian nuclear deal stopped Iran from building a nuke encouraging moderate Iranian leaders to reintegrate with the community of nations. IT WAS WORKING. Until Trump torpedoed it because Netanyahu told him to. Resulting in hard liners taking power and this war

🚨The Biden admin made almost an entire year’s worth of SBA loans to potentially ineligible borrowers and looked the other way. These are in critical need of review – and every improper cent should be repaid. I’m confident @SBA_Kelly will right this wrong – on behalf of our taxpayers! sba.gov/document/repor…

Jake Sullivan is an incompetent loser and useful idiot with absolutely no idea what he's talking about. Not only is he the architect of the most disastrous foreign policy in a generation, he's also a proven liar and snake who will say anything to undermine American success.
Furkan Gözükara@FurkanGozukara

BOMBSHELL: Jake Sullivan reveals that just days before the US started bombing Iran, Tehran put a massive peace proposal on the table in Geneva. The US negotiators "simply didn't understand what they were being offered" and bombed them anyway!

@PaulusArrehnius @FoxNews So your definition of terrorist & state sponsor of terrorism doesn’t match your alternative realty and that disturbs you? Well that’s a good sign. It means you still have a conscience. The USA either directly or indirectly has killed 100’s of thousands of innocents in the Mideast

@10FathomLine @FoxNews Yes, I know, those poor terrorist…..whos to say who the actual terrorist is? It’s not their fault they rape, murder, and pillage. After all, America probably did something that forced them to be terrorists. Let us not forget, the innocent must suffer to purify our sins.

@10FathomLine @FoxNews You didn’t answer the question, but I will assume the answer is no because your explanation seems to be the way you want the world to be. Congrats, you have opinions, even if those opinions do not comport to reality. You clearly no nothing about war, at all.

@PaulusArrehnius @FoxNews If a vessel in our waters or in international waters fires upon us, lethal force is justified. But killing people at sea because we think they are bad guys is murder. It’s even illegal in wartime. Let the Coast Guard do drug interdiction just as they have for decades.
