I hear a lot of people talk about Iran’s “Death to America!” chants and whatnot, but often only one side of the story is presented, so here’s some context. x.com/grok/status/20…
Grok@grok

Best general cumulative estimate for Iranian deaths from listed US actions since 1953: 250,000–650,000. Majority from US support prolonging Iran-Iraq War (Iranian deaths 200k–600k total per historians/Wikipedia; US intel/arms/dual-use tech to Iraq enabled stalemate & chem attacks killing 20k+ Iranians). Direct: ~800 (Ajax 200–300, Flight 655: 290, SAVAK ~500 per Abrahamian). Sanctions: thousands in excess mortality from health shortages per studies (broader claims disputed due to internal factors). No single verified total; ranges reflect source variances.

Trump has proposed a $1.5 trillion defense budget — a 40% increase, the largest since WWII. In exchange for more war he wants to: -Cut the EPA budget by half -Cut $10.7 billion for housing -Cut $8.5 billion for K-12 programs -Cancel $15 billion for clean energy -Cut $2.5 billion for clean drinking water -Eliminate $1.6 billion for youth job training -Cut $3.5 billion from the Labor Department -Eliminate $395 million for senior employment -Eliminate $775 million in food assistance grants -Eliminate the National Endowment for Democracy -Cut $5 billion from the National Institutes of Health -Eliminate the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) In all, cuts to domestic programs would account for a 10% reduction in discretionary spending.

@LRtius @PhilipProudfoot There was interbreeding, so SOME of their ancestors. They’ve got genes also matching ancient Canaanites though so their stock actually predates Hebrews migrating into the land as the tanach recounts

@PhilipProudfoot So your argument is that Palestinians are indigenous by virtue of their ancestors having been Jews.

Today’s Palestinians were once Jewish, then some became Christians, then later they became Muslims. The great stupidity of statements like this is that, if Israelis even want to make this argument, then it means they’ve committed a genocide against their ancient ancestors.

The Jewish people are indigenous to Israel.

@PhilipProudfoot Definitely not. They look like Arabs, you wont distinguish between them and Egyptians, Jordanians or Syrians. The reason is simple, they migrated into the land over hundreds of years. It was all part of the Ottoman Empire.

If Iran wanted to inflict harm on the US in the past, all they had to do was shut down the Strait of Hormuz - they didn't need a nuclear weapon. The fact that they never did it - until we and Israel bombed them - clearly shows they weren't a threat. We are run by idiots.

@ramzpaul As Congress has apparently abrogated their duties and abandoned their oaths of office and to uphold and defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, it would seem that that’s not true anymore.

Why don’t you ever hear them chant: “Death to New Zealand,” or “Death to Spain?” Why always “Death to America?” Maybe it’s down to America constantly wanting to spread ‘freedom’ everywhere.

How fitting is it for Trump to officially declare war on Iran on Good Friday AND on the 33rd day of the “operation”? Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was crucified today, April 3rd in 33 AD. This is as ritualistically demonic as it gets.

@Pacto_Secreto I’d appreciate if they’d release evidence, if it actually exists. Although I’m more inclined to believe this than a lot of the official story, regardless

Hackers iraníes que hackearon los correos personales del subnormal de Kash Patel, que simula dirigir el FBI, afirman que: - El asesinato de Charlie Kirk fue un "trabajo interno". - Se le asesinó con explosivo situado en un micrófono bajo la camiseta que estalló junto a su cuello. - Por eso se llevaron de inmediato todas las cámaras e imágenes del lugar. - Por eso se llevaron el cuerpo, claramente muerto, antes de que llegara el forense. - Por eso, 4 días después, para evitar el hallazgo de restos del explosivo, la Utah Valley University quitó el cesped donde Charlie cayó muerto y lo sustituyó por placas de hormigón. Sólo 4 días después para que no se pudieran recoger muestras de la zona del asesinato. - El explosivo fue fabricado y probado con anterioridad en la empresa Accurate Energetic Systems (AES), una fábrica de explosivos militares y comerciales ubicada en Bucksnort / McEwen, Tennessee. - Por eso, un mes después, dicha fábrica sufrío una explosión que mató a 16 trabajadores y destruyó la fábrica. -- Todo esto se sabe gracias a hackers iraníes. No al FBI.

Iranian hackers claim Kirk was an inside job… You know, I will believe an anonymous Iranian man, over anybody in the United States government. ON HOW CHARLIE KIRK WAS KILLED⁉️

Just as I was addressing the American people, the head of our Strategic Council on Foreign Policy was targeted in an assassination attempt, leading to the martyrdom of his innocent wife. Let the world judge; which side engages in dialogue and negotiation, and which in terrorism?

@disclosetv Iran refusing pressure talks in Islamabad shows they won’t negotiate under threats or one-sided demands. Real diplomacy starts with respect, not ultimatums.

@EvanMantri @disclosetv You all have a childish understanding of this thing and should really consider that MAYBE there’s another solution to this idiotic, deceitful, and illegal war that we’ve started other than “keep hitting them until they roll!” but I suppose that involves too much nuance for some.

@disclosetv They're a suicide cult. The want to die to achieve their apocalypse and prepubescent harems. Only way is to somehow assist the non-fanatic masses to take over (without large US troop presence). But I don't know how feasible that is.

Pete Hegseth repeatedly mocks "rules of engagement." But now that a US pilot is missing and possibly capture, a reminder, rules of engagement don't just protect people we go to war against, they also protect OUR troops.

@whitesundesert @Sarahjdublin What an idiotic thing to say. And we’re agreeing Jewish Jewish Israeli Holocaust experts, Hebrew University historians, Holocaust survivors, and plenty of others that ISRAEL is arguably committing a genocide - not that JEWS are. Being Jewish isn’t a pass for anything.
