Me: “UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon say Israel violated the ceasefire, not a thousand times, not 5,000 times, they say you violated the ceasefire 15,000 times over the last 18 months.”
IDF spokesman: “I don’t know about your numbers…”
Me: “Google is your friend.”

Some of the ‘most frequented spots’ by the UK’s elites now owned by the spy chief of a Gulf country. Kinda crazy.

@mehdirhasan @TheOmniLiberal Zelensky has every right to support the war, BECAUSE IRAN IS KILLING HIS INNOCENT PEOPLE YOU FUCKING RETARD MORON WINGED HORSE COCK CAN'T DEBATE OUT OF A TRASHCAN LOSER
English
@TheOmniLiberal Are you seriously suggesting Zelensky hasn’t been tacitly supporting this illegal war against Iran, since the start? Because this is what he said when the war began:
English
Where is Zelensky supporting illegal attacks on Iran in his original tweet????????? He's literally just imploring the UN to do something about the closure of straits that are having massively negative impacts on markets across the world.
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan
@TheOmniLiberal I give a fuck about it so you’re just lying about that. That’s why I am so disappointed to see Zelenskyy who faced down an illegal attack on his country supporting an illegal attack on another country. Sorry for wanting consistency.

"Iranian authorities have acknowledged 3,117 deaths and approximately 3,000 arrests, whereas human rights organisations estimate these figures to be in the tens of thousands. The vast majority of those detained or killed are ordinary people, including children, from all provinces and diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds, as well as Afghan nationals, of which there are some 5 million living in Iran. They include lawyers who sought to represent protesters, medical professionals who treated the wounded, journalists, and writers, artists and human rights defenders who supported the protests."

@suzq0818 @AnswersAsking @mehdirhasan Has there been any verifiable report? Or shall we just blindly trust those found chemical weapons in Iran, or those who per UN and all major Human Right organizations massacred 10s of thousands of kids in Gaza, who killed 200 school girls and still wont accept??
English
I'm not sure how the same people who saw scenes of terror and killing on October 7th and immediately said 'terrorism' 'barbarism' are okay with this? It's terrorism pure and simple. There's zero justification for it.

@TheOmniLiberal Isn't Iran illegally declaring war on the WHOLE WORLD by closing the straight?
Why doesn't Mehdi mention that...
English
No, the reason why people were mad was because Mehdi claimed Zelenskyy lost his moral high ground for complaining about the closure of the Strait, which is a ridiculous statement he attempted to support by then comparing Iran to Ukraine.
This is especially frustrating when Ukrainians have been getting murdered by Iranian drones daily in an illegal war that started a year before Oct 7th that no pro-Pali lefty gives a single flying fuck about.
Nathan J Robinson@NathanJRobinson
Incredible how many people respond to this with irrelevant arguments (Iran is not a democratic, Iran helps Russia). The point is that Iran is a sovereign state invaded by an aggressor, who wantonly attacks civilians, in violation of international law.
English
@mehdirhasan @KareemRifai @Kasparov63 Mehdi is truly one of the world's greatest retards.
Iranian drones intentionally kill innocent civilians, the school bombing was unintentional.
English
@KareemRifai @Kasparov63 Tell every Iranian school girl who was murdered on day one of this war that you support their killing because of their government’s use of Shahed drones.
👏🏽👏🏽
English
Tell every single Ukrainian who lost their family to the Shahed drones that Tehran gleefully handed over to Moscow that "Iran is Ukraine," Mehdi.
English
@mehdirhasan @TheOmniLiberal lol can't even call Oct 7th an illegal war by Hamas
English
@TheOmniLiberal I’m old fashioned, I think states declare war. But I am on record agreeing with Amnesty and HRW that Israelis were victims of war crimes and terror on Oct 7th.
But as I point out here, Israel has been the aggressor in most of the wars it has fought:

English
Sure, I agree with that.
Do you agree that Israel has also been the victim of a number of illegal wars, then? October 7th and 1973 at least, no?
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan
The two situations aren’t comparable? Even though you conceded they are? I never said there were similarities beyond that. Obviously, there aren’t. But in the context of illegal wars, Ukraine and Iran are both the victims. That’s a fact.
English
@mehdirhasan Isn't Iran illegally attacking the whole entire world by blocking the straight of hormuz?
English
It's astonishing that you, a world leader who many respected for standing up to an illegal attack on your country, now support an illegal attack on another country. It completely kills your credibility.
Right now. Iran is Ukraine. You may not like to hear that but that is a fact
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський@ZelenskyyUa
It is unfortunate that the UN Security Council has once again failed to demonstrate effectiveness and act decisively in the face of such a global threat as the Iranian regime's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. No one should be allowed to block such globally significant sea lanes or undermine the security of dozens of nations through terrorist attacks against the freedom of navigation. We faced a similar challenge in the Black Sea when the Russians attempted to block our ports and civilian shipping—Russia was trying to suffocate our economy. And we found a way to solve that problem through decisive action, not inaction. Now, we see a similar problem on a global scale. The Strait of Hormuz must remain open to all vessels that sustain vital economy lifelines and maintain normal international trade. Countries in the region have spoken clearly on this, and we support the aspirations of the people of the Middle East and the Gulf for peace. Peace and security in this region directly impact stability, market predictability, and the cost of living in every single country. Such problems and this war must not be prolonged. The world needs a functional UNSC that acts more decisively to resolve acute security challenges of global magnitude.

In 2021 and 2022 @SarahLongwell25's firm made $950k each year from the Koch network, according to Stand Together's tax filings. This is who is telling Democrats what streams they should and shouldn't go on.
English
@mehdirhasan "Whataboutism" or "whataboutery" (as in, "but what about X?") refers to the propaganda strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of offering an explanation or defense against the original accusation.
English
And we gave Israel ‘defensive military aid’ and they used it to bomb Gaza, the West Bank, Qatar, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran.
Coleman Hughes@coldxman
But we have de facto given millions in “defensive military aid” to Gaza already. Hamas used it to build the largest ever bomb shelter network, and then didn’t allow civilians to use it during a war. The problem is not our asymmetric sympathies, it’s the psychopathic terror org.
English
@mehdirhasan How many wars would Israel END if they didn't have the Iron Dome? Israel would control the whole middle east without it. Iron Dome is defensive welfare for muslim arabs.
English
This literally makes no sense because Israel with Iron Dome has started multiple wars of aggression, not just the repeated assaults on Gaza since 2009 & the current genocide, but also attacks on Iran, Lebanon, Syria.
Oh wait it makes sense if you don’t value non-Israeli lives.
Joe Walsh@WalshFreedom
Hey @mehdirhasan, you should publicly thank Israel every single day for the Iron Dome. Why? Bcuz Iron Dome saves Israeli lives, Palestinian lives, & the lives of all Arabs/Muslims in the region. Without Iron Dome, based on all the bombs/missiles lobbed Israel’s way over the years, tens of thousands of Israeli citizens would’ve been killed, which in turn would have led to justifiable Israeli responses leading to major wars in the region way worse than we’ve seen, and even though, unlike Israel’s enemies, Israel doesn’t target civilians, who knows how many Arab/Muslim/Palestinian lives would’ve been lost over the years. So yes, the DEFENSIVE Iron Dome saves ALL lives. But Mehdi, you hate Israel too much to acknowledge that truth.
