Israel just attempted to assassinate the great Steve Sweeney while he was reporting from Southern Lebanon Relieved to hear Steve is recovering The terrorist regime that has murdered hundreds of journalists over 2-3 years will never recover from this

This is probably the most important article of the month: an op-ed by Oman's Foreign Minister, who mediated the talks between the U.S. and Iran, in which he writes that the U.S. "has lost control of its foreign policy" to Israel. He repeats that a deal was possible as an outcome of the talks (something confirmed by the UK's National Security Advisor, who also attended: x.com/i/status/20341…) and that the military strike by the U.S. and Israel was "a shock." Interestingly, given he is one of Iran's neighbors and given that Oman has been struck multiple times by Iran since the war began (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran…), he writes that "Iran’s retaliation against what it claims are American targets on the territory of its neighbours was an inevitable result" of the U.S.-Israeli attack. He describes it as "probably the only rational option available to the Iranian leadership." He says the war "endangers" the region's entire "economic model in which global sport, tourism, aviation and technology were to play an important role." He adds that "if this had not been anticipated by the architects of this war, that was surely a grave miscalculation." But, he adds, the "greatest miscalculation" of all for the U.S. "was allowing itself to be drawn into this war in the first place." In his view this was the doing of "Israel’s leadership" who "persuaded America that Iran had been so weakened by sanctions, internal divisions and the American-Israeli bombings of its nuclear sites last June, that an unconditional surrender would swiftly follow the initial assault and the assassination of the supreme leader." Obviously, this proved completely wrong, and the U.S. is now in a quagmire. He says that, given this, "America’s friends have a responsibility to tell the truth," which is that "there are two parties to this war who have nothing to gain from it," namely "Iran and America." He says that all of the U.S. interests in the region (end to nuclear proliferation, secure energy supply chains, investment opportunities) are "best achieved with Iran at peace." As he writes, "this is an uncomfortable truth to tell, because it involves indicating the extent to which America has lost control of its own foreign policy. But it must be told." He then proposes a couple of paths to get back to the negotiating table, although he recognizes how difficult it would be for Iran "to return to dialogue with an administration that twice switched abruptly from talks to bombing and assassination." That's perhaps the most profound damage Trump did during this entire episode: the complete discrediting of diplomacy. If Iran was taught anything, it is: don't negotiate with the U.S., it's a trap that will literally kill you. The great irony of the man who sold himself as a dealmaker is that he taught the world one thing: don't make deals with my country. Link to the article: economist.com/by-invitation/…

@TimoStewart Kommenteista päätellen taisi kolahtaa.

Päteekö tämä kaikkiin hyökkäyssotaa käyviin maihin?

The Gaza Tribunal Report exposes the full scale of Britain's complicity in genocide. Complicity demands consequences. That's why, today, we submitted The Gaza Tribunal report to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Imagine this. You’re a Palestinian sitting outside your home, trying to relax in the place your family has lived for generations. Then they appear: Israeli settlers from Eastern Europe, assaulting you, backed by the IDF. This is Satanic behavior.

Israel has normalized the assassination of government officials from any rank, from embassy staff to prime ministers, presidents and kings. These are positions held by people like Starmer, Macron, Merz, Trump, Carney, MBS, MBZ, Abdullah. We can add names. Kallas, von der Leyen

@OsmoSoininvaara Samaa mitä venäläiset harjoittivat MH17 pudottamisen jälkeen. Valheita ladellaan valheen perään. Perinteinen media on kyvytön haastamaan näitä ja osa jopa levittää niitä.

Olin jo poistanut tämän julkaisun, kun tuli tieto, että Iran oli ottanut vastuun tästä tyttökoulun tuhoamisesta. Julkaisin tämän uudestaan, koska tuo tieto osoittautui valeeksi. Mitä ilmeisimmin koulun tuhosivat amerikkalaiset, mikäli amerikkalaiseen lehdistöön on uskominen.

The war in Ukraine is also an American war. The US toppled the government in Ukraine in 2014, selected its new government, hijacked its intelligence services, built secret CIA bases along the Russian border, armed and trained right-wing groups to attack Donbas and have veto power over Ukrainian voters' demand for peace, cancelled Zelensky's peace mandate in 2019, hijacked its civil society with "NGOs", built a large proxy army in Ukraine, supported the purging of Ukraine's media, political opposition, and the Orthodox Church, and sabotaged the Minsk peace agreement. After Russia invaded, the US sabotaged the Istanbul negotiations, shut down diplomacy, and provided most of the weapons, ammunition, logistics, intelligence, targeting, and war planning for Ukraine. The objective of the US has been the strategic defeat of Russia as a rival centre of power, to be achieved by fighting to the last Ukrainian and the last euro. Suggesting that the US selflessly "helped" Europe in Ukraine is an absurd argument that even contradicts Trump's previous statements that this has been a proxy war provoked by NATO expansionism. Europe should not receive more "help", and NATO should be dissolved.

I'd call them Nazis, but that's not harsh enough. Israel is an abomination, an abysmal darkness among humanity.

This weekend, settlers in the West Bank committed one of the most horrific attacks imaginable on the West Bank community of Khirbet Humsa. Here is what happened: * A man was sexually assaulted in front of his bound family and the human rights activists present. His pants were pulled down, he was doused with water, and beaten brutally with clubs while curled on the ground * Women had their headscarves torn off and clothing ripped. Girls, including very young ones, were dragged outside and beaten * One settler threatened in Arabic to return, burn the houses, kill the children, and rape the women, saying this directly in front of women and children * A settler grabbed a 14-year-old girl and began slapping her while her mother watched, bound and unable to help * A settler threatened to take a woman's daughters to live with the settlers * The 74-year-old family elder was beaten in the head, hands and stomach by three settlers while a fourth destroyed security cameras, the router, and lights. He briefly lost consciousness and had water thrown on him to revive him * The two activists (American and Portuguese) were beaten with fists and clubs, handcuffed at hands and feet, and had their rings forcibly removed under threat of having their fingers broken. * The American activist's jacket was cut open with a knife and a settler began handling her belt buckle, leading her to believe she was about to be raped. The Portuguese activist was dragged by her ankles because she couldn't walk with her leg restraints. These people are absolute Nazis, given freedom to run rampant by the Israeli government. This is a policy to terrorize Palestinians into leaving their homes so settlers can take them.

A Clarion call: when the American president, without using cute language or subtlety, outright declares that he will take another sovereign country because he wants it, and there is no reaction — no outrage, no alarm — we are in deep trouble as a nation. Trump took us to war without authorization, and against the constitution, in 2025 against Iran, fragrantly in violation of American and international law in Venezuela (by seizing their leader), both without cause, and now this full scale war against Iran in 2026, and nvr faces consequences. There are no protest in the streets, there are no demonstrations of outrage in Congress — where it rightfully belongs — and now here he is turning his sites onto another sovereign country, Cuba, and just wants to “take it.“ Not even a pretending there are drug issues like with Venezuela, not pretending there are weapons of mass destruction like Iraq in 2003, not pretending there are nuclear weapons as in Iran today, just “take it.“ We are asleep as a nation, and this man is leading us into totalitarianism, and soon, no one will be able to stop him, and he will do whatever he wants. We are watching Martin Niemoeller’s dark description of how Nazism rose in Germany play out before our very eyes, and instead of recognizing the danger approaching, we are silent. Or complicit, as w Congress n friendly major media. The day will come, however, when “they“ will come for us too. Don’t give yourself any false sense of security by thinking it’s only “them“ that Trump will break the law to go after —like Cuba, Venezuela, Iran. When that kind of lust for power goes unchecked, it will never end, and soon they will find new, domestic targets… encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/art…

🇬🇧🇮🇷 BREAKING: The UK stole $500 million from Iran. 1970s. The Shah paid upfront for 1,500 Chieftain tanks. £650 million. 1. Revolution. UK canceled the contract. Kept the money. Delivered almost nothing. Decades later. International arbitration. Debt confirmed. Refund owed. The UK still hasn't paid. This is not a conspiracy. This is a receipt. The British government stole from Iran. And never gave it back. $500 million. With interest. Still unpaid. Now the UK lectures Iran on human rights. On terrorism. On international law. Theft is theft. The UK knows it. The courts confirmed it. The money never came. Iran remembers. The world should too. Before the next lecture from London.

A Letter from 1943. It is difficult not to hate Germans when the German state occupies your country, kills your people, and commits genocide. Yet we have a moral duty to maintain the distinction between Germans and Nazis. Many Germans today support Nazism, but not all. Some are anti-Nazis and participate in the resistance. Moreover, not all Germans who have been raised under Nazi rule and indoctrination are equivalent to Hitler and his inner circle. When Nazi forces kill your people in the name of the German Reich and the German nation, and you respond by taking revenge against Germans everywhere, this is not resistance to Nazism; it is falling into the trap of Nazi propaganda. Germans and Nazis are not the same. Anti-Nazism is not anti-Germanism. Those who attempt to collapse these distinctions, most often the Nazis themselves and those sympathetic to them, bear responsibility for fueling greater violence and hatred against Germans as a people. But to label this resulting violence and hatred simply as “anti-German racism,” without acknowledging the historical context that produced it, is to strip reality of its meaning. The Nazis will not like this, and neither will their friends. Yet the distinction remains clear to anyone willing to face the truth.

Pro-Palestine leftists perform endless verbal gymnastics to avoid conflating Jewish people with the state of Israel, while Israel and its supporters conflate them constantly. Yet we're the ones who get blamed whenever there's a terror attack on a Jewish institution by someone enraged by Israel's actions. Zionists are the ones doing everything they can to make sure people see the state of Israel as synonymous with Jews and Judaism. That is what they are doing every time they claim a criticism of Israel's actions is hate speech against Jews. They are claiming that the nation and its government are one and the same as the entirety of the Jewish faith and its adherents. Pro-Palestine leftists have been doing the exact opposite. We go to great pains to make sure all our arguments are carefully worded to avoid being interpreted as an attack on the Jewish faith, making it clear that our grievance is with the state of Israel and the political ideology of Zionism which supports that state's abusive nature. And then Israel apologists come in and smear those meticulously crafted arguments as a hateful attack on all Jews everywhere. Zionists are therefore responsible for the growing perception that our Jewish neighbors and countrymen are culpable for the abuses of the Israeli government. When more attacks on Jewish institutions occur (and they will), it is Israel and its supporters who will hold the blame for this, not the pro-Palestine left. I am not saying attacks on Jewish institutions should happen. I am not saying it will be good when they do happen. I'm saying it will happen, and when it happens it will be a terrible thing. And it will be the fault of Israel and its supporters. We've been running around like crazy trying to stop this, falling all over ourselves to thwart the Zionist efforts to conflate Jews with Israel, but our voices aren't strong enough. We're not the ones getting loudly amplified by every mass media outlet, they are. So when we lose the narrative war on this front and the next extremist attack occurs, it won't be our fault. It will be theirs. It will be the fault of Israel and its apologists. We fought them as hard as we could to prevent this, but they won. And the consequences of this will therefore rest squarely on their shoulders.

BREAKING: 🇪🇸🇺🇸🇮🇱 Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez slams Trump and Netanyahu: "You can't support those who set the world on fire and then blame the smoke caused by that fire"

Subtext: French Special Forces were deployed to lead a Kurdish assault into Iran. The Iranians found out and attacked the French, possibly using intelligence provided by agents among the Kurds. They disabled the operation before it could begin. Absolute fiasco.

Remember that #Reebok signed a two-year sponsorship deal with the Israel Football Association (IFA) at the beginning of 2025. With this deal, they supported Israeli institutions during the genocide. Do not buy Reebok. Boycott Reebok.
