I missed the rule in "Risk" that when you attack #Ukraine, they get 4 rolls per defender and the attacker can only roll one die and only win with a 6. #SlavaUkraini #SlavaUkraine

@KarasuNox @caitoz If you want peace and prosperity, you should be nice and admit your own history -- good and bad - and learn from it. 🕊 If you wanna fight, you should be prepared for humiliation and suffering. That's what Passover is all about, matzoh-brain! 🤣

@DTNowakowski @caitoz Why should I in MENA be "nice" and pay for your European crimes? Screw your passover and your fake traditions, savages.

I don't believe you can be a good Zionist anymore than I believe someone can be a decent Nazi. The ideology itself describes a major character flaw. I cannot take seriously the idea that some ethnicities or religious groups are inherently prone to nefarious behavior; it goes against everything I've learned about the human condition over the course of my strange adventures on this planet. I absolutely do believe there are political ideologies whose adherents are universally dogshit people, though. If you've been watching the incineration of the Gaza Strip and thinking it's good, or thinking it's complicated, or thinking it's an unfortunate development that can be blamed on a few bad apples in the Israeli government but doesn't reflect Israel's nature as a whole, then you're a piece of shit. You're a horrible human being. It really is that simple. If you can look at Israel starting all these wars, bombing the fuck out of Iran and Lebanon and Palestine, passing laws to execute Palestinians exclusively while sparing Jews from the same sentencing for the same crimes, and still fail to recognize that the Israel experiment must be aborted, then you have not developed a functioning conscience. You have wasted your time on this earth. You have not managed to mature into a morally healthy human in all these years you've been alive. There are Zionists who are vegetarian, who are nice to their pets, who give money to charity — but there are no Zionists who are actually good people. John Wayne Gacy did charity clown shows for hospitalized children, but he was still a serial killer and a very bad man. His abusiveness eclipsed any other kindness he may have performed, and became his defining characteristic as an individual. Being a supporter of the Israel project is exactly the same. It doesn't matter what else you do with your life if you stand on the side of a man-made murder machine which is fueled by the blood of the innocent. You're just plain awful.

@KarasuNox @caitoz I would like to "encourage" you to be a nicer person, learn some history, and let a tiny minority that has been enslaved and discriminated against for centuries have a little peace. Happy Passover! ✡️

@DTNowakowski @caitoz That's Europe's problem. You persecuted them for centuries, solve your own shit in Europe. J-ews were encouraged, including by Jewish terrorism, to leave MENA. They were not expelled.

@akapilka @caitoz I know, I know. It's a rhetorical question, but just want it there for the record. Thanks and Happy Passover to everyone!

@DTNowakowski @caitoz She's a tankie. She doesn't give a fuck about humanity or morality. She never did Basically a russian pawn defending "the global south".

I'm trying to imagine the alternative history of WW2 if it looked like this war, and what the coverage might look like "It's January 11th, 1942, one month after Hitler declared war on the United States. Hitler, Goering, Bohrmann, and Himmler were all killed in an allied bombing attack on Hitler's headquarters, along with fifty other members of the German High Command. 95% of entire German navy is resting at the bottom of the North Sea. The Luftwaffe is no more. Allied aircraft achieved complete air superiority over Germany within 48 hours of the war's start. Still, many sophisticated commentators are saying that the Third Reich has the upper hand, because they have shut down travel through the Danish straits."

Hamas: “We are going to murder as many Jews as we can.” World: 🦗 Palestinian Authority: “We are going to pay terrorists to kill Jews.” World: 🦗 Israel: “We’re considering the death penalty for terrorists who murder civilians.” World: “OUTRAGEOUS! HOW DARE YOU! WAR CRIME!!”

@PeterMcCormack Imma gonna hypnotise you, you Bills are Lower, SNAP. Ain't gonna be no bazillionaires to tax, but idgaf End Britain, innit

This is how dumb our country is. The tit whisperer dances with a gimp in bondage gear and says some words and people are like - cool, let's vote for him. He can't actually explain how he will achieve this. He has already said he will bring in rent controls, which have been implemented in Spain, guess what, higher rents, removed in Argentina, guess what, lower rents. Does he care? No. Will he change his mind? No. He wants to lower bills, which bills? How Zack? How are you going to reduce the cost of capital? Do you know what this actually means? Tax billionaires? Cool, what will you do about capital flight?

@DavidMcGregorBN Watching Marxists, Leninists, Trotskyists, Maoists, anarchists, and other assorted eco-warriors and anti-Western zealots fight one another.

Any member of the Labour Party around in 2016-2020 knows all too well the kind of issues coming for the Green Party. There’s a lot of people removed for very good reason who have found a home in the Greens. It should’ve been a huge red flag.

@RnaudBertrand Why do French tanks have rearview mirrors?

I hate to quote Margaret Thatcher but this one is quite fitting: "Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."

@skedeschi @HFalconerMP I admire your tirelessness, SK. It must be exhausting though.

@HFalconerMP I'd imagine if a terrorist organisation had 150,000 missiles pointed at your towns and cities and had already fired 14,000 at you that you'd not leave them there

Deeply concerned by Israel's announcement stating intention to expand its ground operations in Lebanon, where over 1m people have already been forcibly displaced. Israel must avoid further exacerbation of the conflict, and refrain from any action to seize Lebanese territory.

@DeanBaker13 Hamas, Hezbollah and the IRGC all have tunnels and bunkers. But they don't provide them for their human shields. 😟 The sooner they can be defeated, the sooner lasting peace becomes possible.

I'm sure the Lebanese and Iranians would be going to shelters, if they had them.

@XmaaniN @Shoshana51728 Yes, they were eliminated by Italy. Though if enough teams drop out... 🤔

@Shoshana51728 Well, Israel won't be playing at the 2026 World Cup, so that's just virtue signaling.

Good riddance.

@Yazidisto The Yazidis were touchingly, humanly portrayed by @Elif_Safak in her recent book, There Are Rivers in the Sky | Goodreads share.google/2vaA20yQWPzFJM…

Yazidis are an ethno-religious group, one of the world's oldest religions, and an indigenous people of Mesopotamia. Yazidis pray towards sunrise and sunset. Fire, air, sand, water and sky are sacred in Yazidi beliefs. Yazidis have faced 74 Genocide campaigns.

@sktradingYT @MarioNawfal You might be mixing up religions here, amigo

@MarioNawfal Israel doesn't want any peace. They want endless war and destruction of the middle east so they can occupy all the other countries they want for their imaginary Greater Israel and their fake Messiah the anti-Christ to come.

Guys, I really hope this news is not true I cannot begin to explain how significant it is if this is true The killing of Iran's lead negotiator, the one that the U.S allegedly offered security guarantees, means this war is not ending anytime soon, and will be significantly escalating And it would likely mean Israel just sabotaged Trump's peace efforts Let's all hope this news is false, for the sake of everbody involved There is no way Israel would do this. Even they have limits they cannot cross, otherwise I will be questioning many things I thought I knew about Israeli U.S. relations

@SmokeysSophie @ZackPolanski Like yours, Dave, Miliband's Jewish family were welcome by Britain theguardian.com/politics/2014/…

@ZackPolanski "For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party" Benjamin Disraeli has just entered the chat.

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

@RnaudBertrand He says exactly the OPPOSITE of that. (He is not French, after all.) Iranian control and blackmail is illegal cannot be allowed to continue. @LaniRefiti understood this. Whether the US will succeed is a different question. You seem to hope they fail. 🐸

Rubio admits that the war will end with Iran still in control of Hormuz and that they may decide to charge a toll, something other countries need to deal with: x.com/FurkanGozukara… "When this conflict, when this operation ends, if the Iranians decide 'well now we control the Strait of Hormuz and you can only go through here if you pay us and if we allow you to', not only is it illegal under international law and maritime law, it's unacceptable and that can't be allowed to exist. And so what we said is that the countries most impacted by that should be willing to do something about it, and we'll help them." This would mean, of course, that the war would have reinforced Iran's strategic position which, almost by definition, means the U.S. lost.

@emilykschrader @NadavPollak I'd give it a year or two, depending on things like blockading aid and trade to the regime

This is a load of crap as usual. Literally no part of this isn’t “going to plan.” It’s ahead of schedule and furthermore the Iranians were never going to rise up WHILE we are bombing. Literally the American president, the Israeli prime minister and crown prince Pahlavi all said wait for the right time. Meanwhile western media has a bitch fit like this article.

It was obvious from the beginning that if the war in #Iran won’t go according to plans, the administration will throw Bibi and Israel under the bus

@ThatTimWalker This is an amazingly good clip -- made me think of "I, Daniel Blake". Labour should be very worried. I am too: without an alliance to block #Reform, "the change" will be to split the centre & left, and allow @reformparty_uk to stomp to victory.

Once upon a time, Labour could produce a political advertisement like this without a great big insincere smirk on its well-fed face.

@faniaoz @Tsavkko Iran-funded Hamas (and Qatar, apparently)

@Tsavkko Hamas.

who started the war?

@JohnSimpsonNews That sounds like biased speculation a lot more than reporting. Do some proper journalism mate!

It’s unlikely that Iran is in any meaningful talks with the US, even via third parties like Pakistan, because Iran’s best (only?) hope is to make the war drag on. The US is using up its smart weapons at a rapid rate, and Pres. Trump wants to finish the war as quickly as he can.
