There’s a Moroccan proverb about three bulls and a lion. The lion promises the brown and black bulls safety if they don’t interfere when he attacks and eats the white bull. They agree. But soon, the lion is once again hungry. He approaches the brown bull and promises him safety if he doesn’t interfere to protect the black bull. The brown bull agrees and the lion eats the black bull without opposition. Eventually the lion, hungry again, attacks the brown bull who now has no one to defend him. His last words are “I was eaten with the white bull.”

It is antisemitic to retweet this

Iranian Professor Marandi: “For us, it is a fight for survival. For you, it is a fight to sustain the Epstein class and ethno-supremacism in Palestine. [The Epstein class] are the ones who own your media, control Western governments, and start unprovoked wars time after time.”

We apologize to the Americans! - for establishing our country in the middle of your military bases; - for refusing to remain silent — unlike others — in the face of genocide in #GazaSOS ; - for our girls' school happening to lie in the path of your missiles... - ... #Iran

The sheer irony of Hegseth simultaneously asking for a $1.5 trillion military budget and criticizing Iran for "investing in missiles instead of investing in their people" x.com/Acyn/status/20… Heck in *that very same briefing* (!) Hegseth also defended asking for an additional $200 billion for the Iran war, because "it takes money to kill bad guys" (youtube.com/watch?v=3yQz4f…) 🙄

We're only three weeks into this war of choice, imposed on both Iranians and Americans. This $200b is the tip of the iceberg. Ordinary Americans can thank Benjamin Netanyahu and his lackeys in Congress for the trillion-dollar "Israel First tax" that's about to hit U.S. economy.

Iran became the first country in the world to shoot down a $190 million American fifth-generation stealth F-35 fighter jet with a $3,000 domestically-made Iranian anti-air defense system. Just locking the plane on radar was a big deal.

#BREAKING Mohammad Ali Kayalha, a 20-day-old baby, along with his 7-year-old brother and mother, were martyred by American-Israeli criminals in the Majidieh residential area of Tehran.

He “earned” $500 pimping out an Iraqi child before she committed suicide. The Pax Americana they hope to impose on Iran …

🚨BREAKING Bloomberg reveals that 16 U.S. fighter jets have been destroyed so far in the war against Iran.

This quote by Netanyahu is offensive on multiple levels. It not only compares Jesus to Genghis Khan, but also suggests that the way of Jesus is naive, while a ruthless, “might makes right” approach—marked by relentless aggression—is what ultimately allows good to overcome evil. Netanyahu, and his Christian Zionist supporters, are making a mockery of the ethics of Jesus. That is the true offense.

The mother of the martyr Ali Larijani. The mother of the third most senior man in the Iranian state bids her son a final farewell. Look at her home and the simplicity and modesty.

There is a reason the language used against Iran sounds so familiar. Radical. Destabilizing. Fanatical. Threat. Empire always prepares the strike by poisoning the word. It did this to Vietnam. To Algeria. To Iraq. To Palestine. Now it does it to Iran. And some Muslims, incredibly, repeat the script as if being invited into the vocabulary of their rulers will spare them the fate reserved for the disposable. It will not. Empire does not reward mimicry. It uses it.

🚨🇦🇺🇮🇷 Iranian female soccer player appears on Iranian TV describing how her team was interrogated by Australian border force. She says: "When they checked our passports, each of were taken into a room with a police officer. At first, when they took my hand and led me away, I was scared, but I told myself it’s okay. Then we sat down. The security agent called someone on a phone, and I realized they wanted to ask us again: 'If you go back, it’s will be dangerous... your country is at war, etc. They were asking a bunch of very strange questions, hoping I might say, 'No, I don't know. I am not sure of returning.’ They kept asking those same kinds of questions. He then asked me ‘Do you want to call your family? You can contact them right now to decide if you want to stay or not.' As soon as he said that, I told the lady (the translator), 'Tell him I don’t want to stay. Anyone who wanted to stay has already stayed.' I didn’t even let him finish reading the rest of his questions; I just said: ‘I want to return to Iran.' Right then, I got a bad feeling in my heart; I was an afraid they wouldn’t let me go back to Iran.” Will border force be doing this to every foreign sports player that comes to australia or everyone whose country is at war? Or is it only when Drew Pavlou says to?

For the criminal Macron, it was fine to hit civilian energy and water supply facilities, as long as they were Iranian. But when this French monster saw that the Islamic Republic of Iran could hit back, he called for a moratorium. The collective West has no shame nor humanity.

"Defensive strikes?" The US is loading B-52s—famous for carpet bombing Vietnam—and B-1s with 2,000lb cruise missiles in the UK. There is absolutely nothing defensive about this. It is a massive offensive operation.

Graham calls Kent a liar for saying "the Jews dragged us into it." Kent said Israel's government dragged us into war. Graham heard "Jews. Graham calls Joe Kent a liar and an antisemite because he dared to question Israel's role in this war.

Pete Hegseth accuses Iran of investing in missiles and weapons instead of people, during a speech in which he's asking for $200 billion for weapons, instead of people.

Norman Finkelstein just schooled everyone on international law. Finkelstein citing Article 51: Iran is legally defending itself. The US and Israel are legally committing aggression. There's no debate
