@kznseagull @DrSonderling Really? You homogenise the thought of 2 billion Muslims & have very little understanding of the diverse theological traditions of Islam. You don’t describe Judaism on the basis of the behaviour of Itamar Ben Gvir or Christianity by the thought of Rick Wiles. Crude racism!

@AdHabb @DrSonderling Scriptures reflect a society’s status at the time they were written. Judaism and Christianity progressed in parallel with society’s evolution through the ages. Islam remained static, that is the reality. Muslims have to decide where they want to be in 2026 or in 700CE

These words have not and will not receive the coverage in the West that it warrants. But this does not take away from the fact that it is an accurate reflection of the state of affairs today. We collectively will come to rue the fact that we allowed this to happen.

@10DowningStreet Yet you remain silent on an unprovoked attack on Iran by the US & Israel. Does such duplicity not compromise your message and the standing of the UK in the eyes of the world community? Here is a more principled message: x.com/antonioguterre…

Together with our allies, we condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces.

Finland is the Happiest country in the World for the 9th year running. We also climbed up the world brand index from 7th to 5th. I am often asked why we do well in these rankings. I do not think there is a magic potion, but it helps to have a society which strives towards freedom, equality and justice. The basis of it all is a welfare society, a robust education system, a sense of security and a close attachment to nature. There is no such thing as a perfectly happy society, but providing some building blocks that give us a chance to live a meaningful life, to help others, will nudge us in the right direction during the journey of life.

@WhiteHouse @MbuyiseniNdlozi So Israel unilaterally escalated this war without its partner knowing? The consequence was Qatar bore the consequences. And Israel didn’t know this would happen.🤨Should Qatar not be asking about the quality of its alliance with the US? Is it not of a second tier standing?

Statement from President Trump on South Pars Gas Field:

@DrSonderling Be careful of supporting a precedent and creating a new global consensus that comes to harm us collectively in the near future.

@DrSonderling So now we quoting scriptures! Do you want to look at the other religious scriptures and investigate their references to war? Do you want to look at this same Koran and look at the references to love and empathy? And I notice that you only use the word genocide selectively.

@DrSonderling Even scriptures do indeed refer to war, does this justify the abandonment of international law. How would you respond to the assassination of political leaders in Europe given the rhetoric of their predecessors in the last two centuries and their plunder of Gkobal South.

excerpt from rachel corrie’s letter to her mother, written three weeks before she was killed

This is a leader whose behaviour enabled such an outcome and now is urging for deescalation. Shameful! May future generations remember your complicity!

“Sánchez has been an outlier, a voice of dissent in a time of genocide and endless warmongering.” @fbhutto writes about Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, one of the few Western leaders upholding the basic values of democracy and human rights.

This is disgusting; no sovereign country should be referred to like this. And the Americans who revel in this or are complicit in their silence should remember; there will be a day of reckoning. No people can be forever subjugated. There will come a time for resistance.

@AJEnglish @MbuyiseniNdlozi This is crude intimidation attempting to prevent judges and others from doing their job. So long as Europe, China and other countries do not create alternative mechanisms of banking & financial transactions for these individuals, so long will these institutions be compromised.

An ICC judge says sanctions imposed by the Trump administration are punishing her for carrying out her judicial duties, leaving her facing visa bans and financial restrictions. The measures came after the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu.

Trump unilaterally decides to go to war and then demands others join in. Many European leaders will capitulate. Donald Trump warns Nato faces ‘very bad future’ if allies fail to help US in Iran ft.com/content/1ca6d1… via @ft

Israeli calls for the evacuation of huge swaths of southern Lebanon have led 830,000 people, about 14 percent of Lebanon’s population, to flee, raising questions about whether Israel's ostensible protection of civilians is really aimed at punishing them. trib.al/3tqbglj

In the long run, Trump’s foreign policy strategy will leave the United States “poorer, less secure, and less influential than it has been for most living Americans’ lifetimes,” writes Stephen Walt. foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…

@LBC @lewis_goodall The singular lesson of the 20th century is to stand up to a leader of a global power intent on going to war. Appeasement plunged everyone into war. The UK needs to learn from its own history.

‘It’s quite a low bar, urging another leader not to bomb people “just for fun”?’ @lewis_goodall presses Ed Miliband for a response to Trump’s latest Iran war comments.

@RishiSunak @thetimes History also taught you that when another leader of a global power is intent on war and the colonisation of other countries, you don’t appease but stand up to them. You may want to brush up on 20th century history, not just on the first few hundred years AD.

Iran is attempting to put a dagger to the throat of the world economy. We in Britain must remember what the Romans taught us: if you want peace, prepare for war. My column in @thetimes 👇 thetimes.com/business/econo…
