This is Deir Seryan in South Lebanon. A centuries-old village, once full of homes. Now erased. Israel wiped an entire Lebanese village off the map.

A first look at an apparent tungsten pellet from the U.S. strikes on Lamerd, Feb. 28. PrSM is designed to detonate above target and disperse thousands of these pellets outward. Our analysis shows they killed at least 21 people, including girls who were at volleyball practice.

I'm concerned we are falling into a trap with exaggerated, social media driven hysteria over the Iran conflict.

The cruelest of ironies is that what could finally undo and destroy the Presidency of Donald J Trump isn’t biased Democrat Lawfare, or paid boomer protests, or District Court judges nullifying his Executive Orders, or Rino Republicans refusing to pass his (bloated) Big Beautiful Bill, a “stolen election” or even an Assassin’s bullet. What could finish off the 47th President’s agenda for good will be if he goes against his gut and drags America into another Middle East quagmire of blood, and wastes more trillions of American treasure like his predecessors. War with Iran would be Trump’s Afghanistan, his Vietnam, and ultimately his political Waterloo. Iran is a Theocratic dictatorship that sponsors terror but has invaded not even one country. They are not Iraq, which until relatively recently, was not a unified country but a group of rival tribes before it became a British colonial construct. Besides Iran being “the crossroads of civilization,” they are much more homogenous, roughly 2/3rds Persian ethnicity and didn’t bend a knee of break when attacked by Iraq during their 10 year bloody war. They fought tooth and nail for their very survival. And their 90 million people will fight for their survival again. It was Britain, and (funded by) the United States that overthrew a democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mossedegh in 1953 by using hired mobs in a coup that lead to the installation of the Shah Pahlavi’s 27 year reign of authoritarianism and human rights abuses. All in the name of Iranian Oil. So here we are again. If American foreign policy is anything, it is immune from learning or even acknowledging recent history from either political party, leaving millions dead in it’s willful ignorance and arrogance. I am praying that our President doesn’t start another war. President Trump could still be our Abraham Lincoln but if he ignores history and our recent military misadventures, he could also end up being another George W. Bush, or God help us, a Republican version of Barack Obama. Yours truly, Rob Schneider

Iran is caught between war and repression. As US and Israeli attacks escalate, the regime tightens control. The Left must oppose both imperial intervention and authoritarian rule, without downplaying either or abandoning those resisting on the ground. rosalux.de/en/news/id/546…

Makes you wonder why the French used guillotines when they just coulda done this instead.

Why is it always “Iran backed Houthis” and not “American backed Israel”?

You are wildlife. You’re not special. When ecosystems collapse so do societies.

This is what childhood looks like in Gaza.

The IDF is erasing cemeteries in Gaza and building bases where Palestinian graves used to be. This is the second cemetery the IDF turned to a base, and two more IDF bases were built on top of mosques. Source: Haaretz

The NYTimes writes clear and unequivocal headlines about Russia, while insisting on misspelling and misleading when it comes to Israel's illegal occupation of Lebanese territories….notwithstanding that Israeli cabinet ministers vowed to seize and annex part of southern Lebanon, replicating what they did in Gaza….Which is a genocide in service of ethnic cleansing. . @AssalRad 📷

We found a single mass grave in Gaza containing 300 people. ​Small children were killed with their hands tied behind their backs.

"Man in military fatigues" is a new one.

You know you live in a fucked up world when an attack on four empty ambulances in London makes more noise than strikes on 100 medical facilities in Lebanon and over 700 attacks on health care in Gaza.

They’re not even subtle.

Remember when the IDF went into a hospital. Forced everyone out at gunpoint. Then left newborn babies to starve and decompose in incubators. All factual. All proven. Israel is the most depraved entity on earth.

Meanwhile in Syria Children from the town of Ayn Issa dismantling SDF landmines north of Raqqa.

Em 12 de novembro de 2023, uma mãe palestina, de mãos dadas com seu filho, evacuando o norte de Gaza, é vista sendo executada por terroristas israelenses. Nota: Bandeiras brancas são visíveis.

In his tent. Read that again. In his tent!
