Is it just me or is commentary on women's football a little patronising at times? Calling an effort that was closer to the corner flag than the goal "great" really is a stretch. #AsianCup

@PeteHegseth So in short, you are a dumb robot incapable of critical thinking. No wonder the US never wins any wars.

@Its_ereko How the hell was she voted back in? She's awful.

🇯🇵 Takaichi flew 6,000 miles to be humiliated. Pearl Harbor brought up. Lunch canceled. No joint statement. She went to Washington to explain Japan's limits. Trump spent the meeting mocking them. 82% of Japanese oppose this war. She ignored them. 11,000 protested in Tokyo. She flew anyway. Now she's signing $40 billion nuclear deals. Tying Japan closer to an empire that just insulted its history. Takaichi bowed. Trump laughed. Japan paid. Call it diplomacy. The rest of us call it submission.

@propandco 🙏 Stay safe, brother, and thank you. Every word of this rings true.

I made it to Iran safe and sound. I heard the F35 did not. It got me wondering… If Americans are so desperate to enter Iran, why don’t they come in peace instead of war? Come as tourists instead of soldiers. Haven’t you had enough fighting, killing and dying for Israel? Do you not have greater aspirations for yourselves or is it all just about expanding Israel’s borders? How is it that Iran has better infrastructure and cleaner cities than many cities in the United States? Why haven’t I seen a single homeless person in Iran while many US cities look like post apocalyptic war zones crawling with the walking dead? America has truly lost its way. The money hungry elite goyim slaves of Zionism loot the treasury of the hard working American people to fund a genocidal Jewish supremacist project in the Middle East instead of bettering the lives of the American people. Is this really what the founding fathers had in mind? Did George Washington march through the mud and snow to fight the British empire so that his descendants could kill themselves, and their nation, for Israel? And now Trump wants $200 billion more for Israel. When was the last time he asked congress for $200 billion to improve your lives? When was the last time that any president, democrat or republican, did that? Stop wasting your time, money, energy and lives on a part of that world that is truly sick and tired of you and your bullshit. Iran does not need or want your idea of freedom. Neither does Gaza, Yemen or southern Lebanon. They are already free. It’s us Americans that need freedom. Real freedom. From Zionism. - Ahmad Tabriz, Iran

Have you ever seen Muslims closing churches and chasing people away on Christmas Day? That's what is happening here, except it's Israelis chasing Muslims from a holy site at Eid. No western leader has condemned this. Not one. That is a disgrace.

@StateDept @POTUS The darkness being you, of course, and your genocidal friends in Israel.

.@POTUS: Today, I send my best wishes to every American celebrating Nowruz. Nowruz marks the start of the Persian New Year, celebrates the arrival of spring, and acknowledges the eternal triumph of light over darkness. whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…

@DrewPavlou What's your motivation here, Drew? Do you know the meaning of the word "lynch"? What possible good do you think your misrepresentation of the actual situation brings to Australia? I just don't get it. First Iran's footballers and now this. Just peddling lie after lie. For what?

Holy shit, Islamist extremists tried to lynch the Australian Prime Minister this morning at Lakemba Mosque.

This lad is going to go down as one of the best in @CPFC history. He's been outstanding, and yesterday just reinforced that ❤️💙

@academic_la Iran was in talks, positive ones, before this whole mess was created by Israel and the US, just because they wanted more death and destruction in the region.

The current plan is to strike and weaken Iran's forces for a month, then seize or blockade Kharg Island to force Iran into talks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and surrender. This is a terrible idea with zero chance of working: 1) That "month of degrading" is a month of continued global economic damage from the closed strait. Then talks will mean more time for the global economy to feel pain. That works in Iran's favor. It plays into their hands. 2) It doesn't actually work. Iran can just shut off oil production; holding the island doesn't force them to reopen anything. 3) The shooting ducks problem. Occupying an island 15 miles off the Iranian coast puts soldiers in an extremely exposed position 4) Why would Iran negotiate? If you've already bombed their island and seized it, what's their incentive to negotiate rather than escalate? They are already in crisis. Their best weapon is to put the US in crisis too. There is no clear mechanism by which holding Kharg Island translates to a peace deal on US terms. 5) Mission creep. Once you put troops on Iranian soil, even a small island, you've crossed a threshold that's very hard to walk back. Iran has to respond or look completely defeated domestically. Then the US has to respond to that response. And suddenly you're in a ground war with Iran that nobody voted for and nobody has a plan to end. The American plan is as bad as it could be. It will take an awful situation and make it worse. The best thing the US can do is cut its losses and declare victory.

I'm beginning to think Australia, and @Tony_Burke in particular, should probably apologise to the Iran national women's team. Utterly embarrassing.

Again, I can't disagree with @araghchi ... Starmer has folded like the wet rag he is, and put millions of lives at risk as a result.

@TimWilsonMP Respect is earned, Tim. How has @AlboMP earned it?He has failed to: – combat islamophobia – condemn Israel's genocide(s) and ongoing war crimes – condemn the US/Israel for illegally attacking Iran He also welcomed the president of genocidal Israel with open arms.

Few Australians would feel comfortable about the way the Prime Minister and Minister Burke were disrespected during a visit to a Western Sydney mosque earlier today. One of our goals as a democratic project must be to engage with respect, even when we disagree.

@Mike_Tuckerman @HKane Yeh, incredible. I see him every week, I've just never seen him do this sort of thing much. He's clearly got some serious chops that don't get shown off too much.

@foraggio @HKane He has been unbelievable in the Bundesliga. Without doubt one of Germany’s best foreign players of all time.

I've never thought of @HKane as a super tricky player. Maybe I should. This is 🤯

@ArchRose90 Please be accurate. He was executed after being found guilty of the murder of a policeman.

Iran executed the 19-year-old champion, Saleh Mohammadi for protesting the Khamenei regime. Nothing from Greta Thunberg, Gary Lineker, Charlotte Church, sectarian Muslim politicians. No hunger strikes on University campuses. Where have all the “human rights” activists gone?

@FIFAcom Let's assume Morocco has already won the tournament, then.

Save the date 📅 This year’s #U17WWC in Morocco will take place from 17 October – 7 November 🏆

@Dr_Ariel_Cohen @antonioguterres @Omniaaldesoukie Hard to stop something that doesn't exist.

@antonioguterres @Omniaaldesoukie How do you STOP the Iranian nuclear program, ballistic missiles program and proxy aggression? This is the key part of stopping this war.

I have two clear messages: First, to the United States & Israel: It’s high time to end this war that is risking to get out of control, causing immense suffering on civilians, with dramatic effects on the global economy & potentially tragic consequences, especially for the least developed countries. Second, my message to Iran: Stop attacking your neighbors, they were never parties to the conflict. The Security Council has condemned these attacks, has ordered them to stop, as it has order to open the Strait of Hormuz. The prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz causes enormous pain for so many people around the world who have nothing to do with this conflict. It’s time for the force of the law to prevail over the law of the force. It’s time for diplomacy to prevail over war. My remarks from the European Council in Brussels: un.org/sg/en/content/…

@antonioguterres How are countries hosting US weaponry and airbases "never party to the conflict" exactly?

@Nigel_Farage "Judeo-Christian" and "free" don't go together. Anyone considering voting for this opportunistic charlatan needs their head read.

What we witnessed in London at the historic Trafalgar Square, in a country built on Judeo-Christian values, was a group of people attempting dominance over our capital city and our culture. We are not going to surrender everything that was built over centuries and defended at great cost in two world wars for us to be a free, independent nation. The British people will not put up with this any longer — simple as.

@JohnSimpsonNews Are you being sarcastic, John? I hope so. You've been around a long time. You surely know Israel is as bloodthirsty a regime as the world has ever seen. This is just routine for the IDF.

I don’t get it. If Hezbollah had flats in this block (unlikely in central Beirut but not impossible) why did the Israelis give everyone inside an hour to get out — including those they wanted to kill? And if there weren’t any Hezbollah people there, why destroy a building with dozens of civilians in it?

What happened to @BBCNews? Every allegation of it having a pro-Israel bias is confirmed in this headline. Whoever is responsible should hang their head in shame.
