Iranian trolling continues:
Iran's Police Chief, General Ahmadreza Radan: "I say this to the European Union. If you can't protect Greenland, send a request. We will protect it for you."

By refusing to take action against clubs based in Israeli settlements, FIFA has failed to enforce its own rules and is blatantly flouting international law. FIFA had a clear opportunity to stand up for Palestinians’ rights and international law – with this decision it has shamefully chosen to abandon both.

Today we observe Mother’s Day across the Arab world 🌺
We honor and celebrate Palestinian mothers who are the spine of our steadfastness—who have maintained Palestine and its people for generations amidst dispossession, fragmentation, and ethnic cleansing.
We honor all Palestinian mothers who have buried their children wrapped in white shrouds, who have endured unimaginable loss with unwavering grace, who are languishing in jails, and who continue to carry the weight of our struggle on their backs and forever in their hearts.
Our mothers are the forefront defenders of our land and life.

Auxiliary Bishop William Shomali of Jerusalem: "Christians in the West Bank continue to face an onslaught of aggressions by Israeli settlers, threatening their presence in the region."
Bishop Shomali said settlers have prevented Palestinian Christians from accessing their land through various threats, physical aggression, and property damage, including burning their cars.

Curious about one thing. How come nobody ever blames the "special relationship" for the 1973 oil crisis? It seems important to note that it would not have happened were it not for the USA's support of Israel in the 1973 War. @Hoffman8Jon @matthew_petti @CurtMills

We need to address the false narrative that Israel is "fighting America's enemies." The United States never needed Israel to secure its core interests against the limited regional threats it has faced. In fact, many threats were either byproducts of the special relationship or were exacerbated because of it—among them Arab nationalism, Islamist-inspired terrorism, and “rogue states” like Iraq and Iran. The special relationship fueled these challenges while steering US Middle East policy toward needless confrontation, making it more difficult for the United States to craft effective policies that acknowledge the relative insignificance of these actors to advancing American regional interests. Instead, Washington inflates such threats, which then disproportionately influence US Middle East policy because of their connection with Israel. The result is a hyperaggressive US posture toward such actors that prioritizes Israeli objectives over American interests. Israel pursues an expansionist and aggressive agenda in the Occupied Territories and the broader region, emboldened and insulated from the costs of such policies by the United States, who undermines its own interests by facilitating these maximalist ambitions. By binding US Middle East policy to Israel, the United States entangles itself in an unending cycle of conflicts, generates a host of superfluous adversaries while inciting anti-American hostility, and entraps itself in the region. Israel consistently pulls the United States directly into the regional crises it is often responsible for producing. The United States needs to stop enabling, shielding, and subsidizing Israeli policy. Until this happens, the United States is destined for more needless forever wars in the Middle East.

Have you ever apologised for this, @shashj?
Or explained why you falsely claimed there was “first-hand evidence”?
This isn’t a minor mistake.
The grotesque lie that Israeli babies were beheaded was used to justify slaughtering countless actual Palestinian babies.

@ScottMcConnell9 No offense intended; I was just making a joke. But I do think that we should have the temerity to say that Israel and its Lobby in the USA were prime driving forces behind this war, as POTUS, Rubio, Speaker Johnson, Sen. Murphy, and Joe Kent have all openly acknowledged.

@QuicksilverClay Not sure Pat's sallies were all that effective. He once told me that the "Israeli occupied terrritory" just came out, he had heard some young Arab-American say it, and he hadn't really intended to blurt it out.

The Chad Pat Buchanan: "Capitol Hill is Israeli-occupied territory." (June 1990); "There are only two groups that are beating the drums for war in the Middle East: the Israeli Defense Ministry and its amen corner in the United States." (August 1990).
The Virgin Scott McConnell:
Scott McConnell@ScottMcConnell9
So I think the the rhetorical sweet spot in terms of advocating against the war is to not mention Israel. Just say "people who've been advocating a war against Iran...." . Ok, I'll try to go along with that.

Obama agreed to $1.3 billion in sanctions relief for Iran as part of a deal that prevented both an Iranian nuke and a war.
Trump withdrew from the deal, started a war that will likely result in Iran obtaining a nuke, and gave Iran $14 billion in sanctions relief.

🚨U.S. to allow Iran to get ~14 billion dollars (!!!) in oil revenue 🚨This is a huge financial concession to Iran by the U.S. 🚨It is the first time U.S. is buying Iranian oil since 1996 🚨It's all happening in the middle of a war against...Iran

what makes carlson so effective is the dumb guy school of journalism, which i think is often underutilized in media
homing in on one simple question and asking someone to explain themselves rather than trying to seem like the smartest person in the room

Economist Editor-in-Chief: Clearly you and I agree, and we’ve both been critical of the Israeli government. Tucker Carlson: Well, I’ve been critical of the Israeli government. The Economist: I’ve been plenty critical. Tucker Carlson: What do you think of what happened in Gaza?
