From Sde Teiman, the truth about Israel’s military justice system has been set free By dropping all charges against the soldiers filmed abusing a Palestinian detainee, Israel has abandoned the whole masquerade of accountability. By @sfardm. @mekomit 972mag.com/sde-teiman-isr…

All while omitting the real problem with the war, that the US/Israel has killed Iranians civilians and destroyed civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and schools.

A New York Times "news analysis" piece subtly criticizes Trump from the right, that he entered into the Iran war with no strategy and shifting goals, he hasn't defeated the IRGC, nor destroyed Iran's "nuclear" sites.

A lot of Iranian liberals who have made their careers denouncing the "rEgImE" and actively helped sell lies about the riots in January have changed their tunes all of a sudden. Shameless!

Why did the New York Times publish a headline that directly attributed an attack to Iran, when the article itself noted that the perpetrator of the attack was contested by Israeli military officials and Palestinian officials?

I'm not sure I've seen the NYT attribute definite blame for an attack to US or Israel on the same night they carried it out. Consider the Minab school airstrike, in which the US killed 175+ civilians, most of whom were schoolchildren.

In the final graf, the NYT noted: "Israel’s military said one of the Iranian cluster missiles had likely landed there, causing the casualties. In contrast, the Palestinian Authority’s civil defense agency stated that an Israeli interceptor had struck the site instead."

The NYT then wrote "either way, it was one of the deadlier Iranian attacks"—thus explicitly taking Israel's side.

In today's edition of US corporate media doing anything but plainly stating that the US and Israel has blatantly and illegally attacked another country, the New York Times blamed the expanding Iran war on...gravity

FDD was founded “to enhance Israel’s image in North America” It’s been described as an Israeli cutout by Israeli intel officer Sima Vakhnin Gil And it provided the Trump White House with its talking points for war on Iran, almost word for word

This is wild. The @WhiteHouse plagiarized its reason for launching a war on Iran from @FDD, a cutout of Israeli intelligence. Side-by-side screenshots in the 🧵

A poll conducted by Israel’s Channel 12 found the half a million new Jewish Israeli voters are the most right-wing and religiously fanatic in Israel’s history. They’re voting in the upcoming Knesset elections. mondoweiss.net/2026/02/new-is…
