How about settling scores for what the United States (and the colonial corporations that created it) have done for the last four centuries, including 73 years of more-or-less direct exploitative imperial control of the Iranian economy?
Vali Nasr@vali_nasr

So Trump is saying war should continue because scores must be settled for what Iran has “done to Humanity, and the World, for 47 years.” That is a new objective for this war and implies its beginning or end had nothing to do with the nuclear issue. It is also makes the case for every country, especially in the global south abused by colonialism, to reopen the file on their old grievances, and line up to wage wars to settle old scores. It seems most of humanity opposes this war Trump wants to wage on their behalf and may be more interested in talking about other abuses of humanity.

@rinaltransplant @10kTakesMN @gbrumfiel @MEPFuller @latimes @nabihbulos And I am quite confident, I might add, that whatever fantasy scenario you dream up is based on the idea that even though Israelis stood and fought every time they were under existential threat before, somehow this time they will all go "back to Poland" and abandon their nukes.

An absolutely astonishing account of Israel's AI-assisted targeting in the @latimes They called 62-year-old Ahmad Turmus and asked: “Ahmad, you want to die with those around you or alone?” His response, below, is chilling. Story by @nabihbulos latimes.com/world-nation/s…

@MrsZola786 @sharghzadeh That means make sure you understand what you're wearing, where it came from & why, well enough to be confident you are not extracting from Persian cultures for the benefit of imperialists.

@MrsZola786 @sharghzadeh As a part Persian (and Arab Jew) I would just ask that any non-Persian trying to be a good global citizen be thoughtful, when wearing Persian clothing, that they do it in a respectful manner and context.

@MrsZola786 @sharghzadeh *in a way that And why did that happen? Because giant megacorporations wanted us distracted with stupid culture wars so focus wouldn't turn to the billions they've made off cultural appropriation.

@MrsZola786 @sharghzadeh A British company selling Scottish plaids as British a way that makes poor Scots poorer and profits Brits is a classic example of CA. It was only due to campaigns by paid internet trolls that the wacky idea spread that CA happens anytime someone enjoys a culture not their own.

@MrsZola786 @sharghzadeh I think you're missing something. When people call out cultural appropriation of hummus it's not about who's making and eating it. In business especially, it's about how it's hummus is labeled and marketed, who is profiting, and whose culture is extracted without credit.

@sharghzadeh Lord Almighty, anyone claiming half-Persians cannot wear Persian traditional clothing is an op. I just can't take that seriously.

(2/2) For Israel, far more will call the state apartheid than will take the next logical step: admit such a state shouldn't exist. If 2 groups' "collective rights" sit in different legal frameworks & a state decides who's governed by which, it's apartheid. Binationalism'd be too.

(1/2) Today when it's said the apartheid state in South Africa shouldn't have existed, no one takes that to mean South Africa should've been / should be cleared of white Afrikaners. People understand the collapse of that state as the collapse of a legal system.

@dunlapperBrut @connorobrienNH false, there weren't enough dem votes to kill it, that was why they held the vote open past the deadline until they were able to pressure one republican to flip from yes to no. its in the video, look above

Wow. House votes down Dems’ Iran war powers measure in a 212-212 tie vote. Three Rs broke to support it: Barrett, Fitzpatrick, and Massie. Jared Golden was the lone Dem who opposed it.

@dark7eleme40971 @10kTakesMN @gbrumfiel @MEPFuller @latimes @nabihbulos A state isn't a bunch of people living in some borders. It's a system of laws & law enforcement. A state that governs a Christian demographic majority isn't necessarily a Christian state. It wouldn't be hard to secure a democratic secular state & that'd be a full win.

@dark7eleme40971 @10kTakesMN @gbrumfiel @MEPFuller @latimes @nabihbulos Talking as if they oppose, while for ex., Egyptian govts punish even peaceful protests for Palestinian rights, including from Egyptian-Jewish activists, + continue trade & other relations w/ companies and institutions that facilitate WB settlement. Among other things.

@dark7eleme40971 @10kTakesMN @gbrumfiel @MEPFuller @latimes @nabihbulos Of course, including Palestinian refugees "wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbors", "at the earliest practicable date," (open to gradual phased return with security plans), & compensation for those not returning.
