Disregard for international law did not stop in Palestine, but continued in Lebanon. Israel wipes out entire villages. War crimes beget war crimes. When the international community failed to bring Israel to justice for Genocide, Israel knew they could do it again with impunity.

This is the world we're living in: 'Trump’s executive order sanctioning Albanese prohibited any American person or entity from providing her with “funds, goods or services” – a description so broad it has been compared to a “civil death”. Her apartment in Washington, bought when she and her family were living in the US capital, has been seized. She can no longer use a credit card anywhere in the world, as almost all such transactions are processed by US-based services. “I go around with cash or I have to borrow from friends or from family members,” she says. 'She accuses pro-Israel activists based in Geneva of hounding her husband, Massimiliano Calì, a senior economist at the World Bank, in a campaign that led to him being removed from his lead position running its Syria file. “The World Bank was completely craven,” Albanese says. “He has stellar records of performance in all his positions.”' theguardian.com/law/2026/apr/1…

A new AIPAC ad brags about giving Dems the most money and shows which Dems are in the tank for them — including @RepJeffries (Reminder: this is also true for almost all Republicans) H/T @ShadowofEzra

@VP “The President of the United States would be very happy if Iran was treated like a normal country.” 😶

“We've made clear that we absolutely need to see the nuclear material come out of the country of Iran...the ball is in the Iranians' court because we put a lot on the table.” — VP Vance

@WhiteHouse FIGHT NIGHT: Lake of Fire Edition

FIGHT NIGHT: Postcard Edition 🥊🇺🇸

Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff form the core of Trump’s unofficial “Yes, Sir!” cabinet and have led diplomatic negotiations from Russia and Ukraine to Gaza to Iran. Incompetent, corrupt, and beholden to foreign powers, they have been a disaster for America and for the world.

D. Levy on Israel’s hegemonic war goals: “not only collapsing Iran but simultaneously weakening the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states… the war’s spillover impact of GCC states being hit by Iranian drones and missiles can be seen as an intentional design feature for Israel.”

Trump's war has ironically emboldened Iran. Netanyahu wants more war, as usual, but there's no reason to think the end result will be any better. It's time for Trump to end the warmongering and accept that diplomacy is the only solution. I explain: trib.al/Y0hv9DB

BREAKING: Israel dropped bombs on the historic Citadel of Tyre in southern Lebanon. Not a military target. A UNESCO World Heritage site — one of the region’s oldest surviving monuments. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity.

It was called the JCPOA

Juan Cole: “Vice President J. D. Vance blamed the breakdown in negotiations on an Iranian refusal to commit to never building a nuclear bomb, which I am quite sure is a flat-out lie.”

@WhiteHouse Liar. Trump blew up the JCPOA in his first term. In his second term he blew up negotiations to launch the US-Israeli aggression against Iran. The Trump-Vance regime doesn’t want peace and is only encouraging nuclear proliferation.

Vice President JD Vance gives an update in Pakistan: "The simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon."

And another grim milestone in Lebanon: Since March 2, Israeli attacks have killed more than 2000 people, including at least 165 children, 85 medical workers, and 248 women. Nearly 500 people (25% of all people killed) were killed in the last three days alone.

YouTube bans Explosive Media channel (the one creating a lot of Iran Lego propaganda videos). More proof of the systemic moderation bias of US Silicon Valley companies, magnified when it comes to US foreign policy interests me.mashable.com/tech/69641/you…

🧵Let's be very clear about what "Israel-Lebanon negotiations" actually means because the framing being pushed right now is dangerous and deliberately misleading. A thread. 1/

Pete Hegseth's Defense Dept appears to be caught in a lie. It involves deaths of 21 people (including at least 5 children), injuring 110 in Lamerd, Iran with sports hall and school. By a U.S. missile (PrSM) never before used in combat. NYT sources include: 3 US officials! 1/

Israel kills 13 members of Lebanon’s state security in an airstrike — the largest number of Lebanese government personnel it kills at once during the war. The lebanese government is not party to the Israel-Hezbollah war, but its soldiers have been killed by Israeli strikes regardless.

What the Israeli military is doing in southern Lebanon under the guise of “self-defense.” Another war of annihilation.

@WhiteHouse @POTUS little fingers so mad

"Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have!" - President DONALD J. TRUMP

More than 100 Israeli strikes across Lebanon on April 8, including in densely populated neighborhoods in Beirut, killed over 300 people and damaged the last main bridge linking southern Lebanon with the rest of the country. trib.al/jAVBO4i
