The maddening thing here is the key fact (the resilience of iranian regime and their ability to keep punching back) was already known to military planners and demonstrated in the 12 Day War. Given this knowledge, the US/Israel decision to go to war was an act of incredible recklessness.

Until a few days ago, advocates for the Iran attack like @zriboua argued we should ignore pessimistic pundit assessments in the news. Instead, they pointed to the declining number of missile attacks from Iran as evidence that Iran’s capacity to launch retaliatory attacks was severely compromised by the US/Israel and argued that the war was enter a “de-escalation phase”. Now, focusing on the same line of argument, it seems that Iran may have been indeed conserving strength and re-consolidating attack plans. Their retaliatory attacks using both missiles and drones have both increased in intensity, going in the wrong direction, just like inflation trends in the US, putting enormous pressures on US policymakers. The Chinese idiom is 骑虎难下.

@davidknoll1 @25_mcdc @cedarsalvo @MaxBlumenthal Didn't the Greeks of Cyprus try to removed the Turks?

Lebanon is the moment the people who told you Palestine was "complicated" finally go quiet. Not because they have nothing to say, but because acknowledging what Zionism is doing to Lebanon right now would force them to admit they've been lying all along.

@MarkAmesExiled Does the US and Israel want the GCC and Iran to destroy each other while they remain in tact?
English
The same geniuses who wildly underestimated Iran’s war capabilities & responses now think the IRI hasn’t already gamed USrael attacks on Iran’s oil/gas infrastructure so they’re “sending a warning” as if this’ll break ‘em.
Or just lying again, to trigger harder IRI hits on GCC.
נדב איל Nadav Eyal@Nadav_Eyal
Israeli sources describe the attack on the Iranian gas field as a coordinated warning signal to the Islamic Republic's meant to make clear that if Iran keeps destabilizing the global economy through Hormuz, it will be hit where it gets most, if not all, of its income: the energy sector. They say this is only a first signal. If Tehran doesn’t get the message, more escalation will follow.

@mummahlee @AaronRegunberg @TommyInPA The Palestinian Authority has no real power. You are creating a false equivalence. An Israeli can kill a Palestinian in Ramallah which Palestinian Authority cannot prosecute. That's how lacking of authority they have and Israelis can attack with no repercussions.
English
@AaronRegunberg @TommyInPA Area A; is that still a thing? If so are the Palestinian people represented by Fatah? In Area B are the Palestinians also represented by Fatah? Which leaves Area C which is represented, presumably by Israel. Please let me know what I don’t know/understand about this. Thank you.

Let’s talk reality. A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out. That’s apartheid.

@Lschnecken @AaronRegunberg Palestinian Authority has no real powet so your questions are based on false premise. Gaza is restricted by Israel
English
@AaronRegunberg Can the Jewish baby vote in Palestinian elections & have access to their courts? How about in Gaza ?
English
@AaronRegunberg If an Israeli who’s Christian or Muslim or atheist or whatever has a baby somewhere in the West Bank, that child is Israeli.
English
@steve_zivin @AaronRegunberg Ask the Israeli government why it is against Israeli law to enter. BTW Palestinians are restricted to live in Area C or in Israel. They even can't between Gaza and West Bank freely without Israeli permission.
English
@AaronRegunberg Educate me about those Jewish babies born in areas A and B?
English
@ktxby @AaronRegunberg Palestinians do not have the right to make that decision so claiming pick one is disingenuous. Also proving Judaism or even conversion grants one citizenship rights while Palestinians are not afforded such rights.
English
@AaronRegunberg Pick one: either the West Bank is part of Israel, and the child would be an Israeli citizen, or it’s a different country, and the child would be a citizen of that. Can’t have both. A Jewish child born elsewhere does not have automatic citizenship of Israel.
English
@jexloci @AaronRegunberg The Palestinian Authority has no real power but you already know that.
English
@AaronRegunberg Blame the Palestinian Authority. They haven’t had an election in decades.
English
@RabbiYonah @AaronRegunberg Israel has full military control of the region. The PA doesn't even control their own water. Claiming there are no elections is pointless because Israel has effective control of the West Bank and Gaza. Even the one election they had led to Israel arresting representatives
English
@AaronRegunberg False: A baby born in Ramallah will not be able to vote because there have been no Palestinian elections in 20 years. They keep cancelling them.
English
@CinCincyGirl @AaronRegunberg That's because Israeli law prevents intermixing. There are even HOA like committees to prevent Palestinians from buying houses in Jewish neighborhoods.
English
@AaronRegunberg You're leaving out an extremely important fact: which area of the West Bank was this baby born...keep in mind, if it was Jewish it could only be in 1 of the 3 areas of the West Bank and that's the Jewish area, the other 2 areas don't allow Jews
English
@KarenFactsLover @AaronRegunberg The Palestinian Authority has little to no authority.
English
@AaronRegunberg Is it because Israel doesn't give them this right or the Palestinan Authority give them This right??

@ck_gen @ori_goldberg Are you sure Israel is not censoring it's actual damages?

@ori_goldberg 1-2 missiles a day still manage to hit Israel but that’s not much consideirng

Israel now feels secure enough in Iran to "go Gaza". It has no strategy but assassinations and destruction, incredibly telling the Iranian people that playing whack-a-mole with their lives is "providing them with the opportunity" for regime change. Genocidaires are cowards.

Highly sus: no media outlets or journalist in Israel or the whoring psychopath pedophile West has even acknowledged the rumours about Netanyahu. And the video from Thursday was AI

And I am asking you respectfully to stop spreading hatred against the Jewish people.
You are doing this too much and it is inspiring people to attack synagogues and Jewish day schools (which you seem unbothered by).
Please stop.

@ShaiDavidai I am asking you respectfully to leave me alone. You are doing this too much and it is creeping me out. Please stop.

@MarkAmesExiled I look at it like when Yasser Arafat died. Everyone thought peace would be a short few months afterwards. The Palestinians and Israelis have not signed a peace deal since his death.

Our slow-witted foreign policy class will eventually come around, long after this ends in disaster, to "Oh, actually it turned out Khamenei was the moderate"

Aamer@IbnKulthum
The FT’s obituary of Khamenei reminds me of Khatami referencing De Tocqueville on CNN. I can’t imagine someone like Starmer or Carney let alone Trump referencing Dostoyevsky or discussing the films of Pasolini. We are led by such mediocrities it’s insane.

@Coach_Yac That's funny. Nick's argument against Brock Purdy is that is all Shanahan's system and can't be replicated.
English
Nick Wright was asked if Mac Jones is the next Sam Darnold:
“I don’t think he’s as good as Sam Darnold. You also know I think the Niners offense is something of a quarterback stimulus package for who you are going to be with elsewhere. Ultimately, it’s kind of a moot point because the 49ers are without a doubt keeping him. If Mac is going to be the next Darnold, it’ll be in San Francisco. Seriously, he’s going to be the backup quarterback to Brock Purdy next year and then we’ll see if Purdy gets through the whole year healthy and we’ll see what Mac is. He’s too valuable to them because they know they can win games with Mac and right now Purdy is a real injury risk.”
