There’s a Moroccan proverb about three bulls and a lion. The lion promises the brown and black bulls safety if they don’t interfere when he attacks and eats the white bull. They agree. But soon, the lion is once again hungry. He approaches the brown bull and promises him safety if he doesn’t interfere to protect the black bull. The brown bull agrees and the lion eats the black bull without opposition. Eventually the lion, hungry again, attacks the brown bull who now has no one to defend him. His last words are “I was eaten with the white bull.”

I know I'm not supposed to make this analogy, because hate groups against antizionist Jews will go after me, but my family members "had a fatal encounter" with Nazis in Auschwitz. @nytimes is so shameful.
(Rewritten because of total lack of clarity in previous tweet 🤦♀️.)

“The family had a fatal encounter with Israeli forces” is a strange way of saying Israeli forces murdered a Palestinian family. The @nytimes will violate every grammatical standard of the English language to mask Israeli war crimes. nytimes.com/video/world/mi…

Truth-bombs for the PM.
After publicly expressing support for the US-Israel war against Iran and the war on Gaza — in which tens of thousands have been killed — PM Albanese walks into the Muslim community in Sydney’s Lakemba.
“Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke have been booed and heckled at a mosque in Western Sydney.
“Worshippers could be heard shouting "genocide supporters", "get them out of here" and "go home" before Albanese was led out of the mosque.”

@PeterCronau Imagine going to a mosque full of Lebanese Australians and expecting any other response. We have 250,000+ Lebanese Aussies in this country, who - like the rest of us - are watching the destruction of Lebanese towns and cities with utter horror, with nary a peep from Albo.

Did YOU want to watch CCTV's AI Martial Arts cartoon about the Straits of Hormuz crisis? Complete with fighting Persian Cats? Well I subtitled it for you so you can enjoy it in all its trope-laden glory! Remember kids, the mountains will stay standing while the green water flows, and the true art of war is not figuring out how to fight, but how to stop!🥷😼🦅

Chinese state media made an AI-generated cartoon about the US-Iran conflict. Extremely well done!

So today Iran crippled world gas output for years, hit an F35, and knocked the power out in Haifa after hitting Israel's only oil refinery with a ballistic missile
I think it might be time to say it - Iran is winning the war

BREAKING: Power outage across multiple areas of Haifa, Israel following direct Iranian missile strike on the refinery.

2020: No one can detect the F-35
2023: Maybe the F-35 can be detected under certain conditions by advanced militaries
2025: One of the poorest countries in the world can detect and lock on to the F-35 but can't hit it
2026: A poor country can detect, lock on to, and hit the F-35 and force it to make an emergency landing but it can't destroy it in the air
I wonder what the future holds

Anyone arguing that minor damage to a US aircraft, sustained while lollygagging over hostile airspace is an epoch altering event is arguing the US military is so strong that the mere damaging of one of its weapons is a great feat.

FUN FACT—helium cools the superconducting magnets in more than 14,000 MRI machines used in hospitals worldwide. We lost the largest helium extraction plant in the world in Qatar. US reserves running low. Helium cannot be produced de novo. Any helium escape is permanent.
Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡@shanaka86
Helium is the only element that escapes Earth’s atmosphere permanently. Once released, it rises through the troposphere, passes the stratosphere, and leaves the planet. It cannot be manufactured. It cannot be synthesised at industrial scale. It accumulates over billions of years in the same geological reservoirs as natural gas. And one third of the world’s supply just went offline because Iran hit the facility that extracts it. Qatar produced roughly 63 million cubic metres of helium in 2025, accounting for 30 to 36 percent of global supply from a total of approximately 190 million cubic metres. QatarEnergy’s three large helium purification plants at Ras Laffan form the world’s biggest helium production base. When LNG production stopped after Iranian drone strikes on March 2 and the subsequent missile damage on March 19, helium extraction stopped automatically because helium is recovered during natural gas liquefaction. You cannot produce helium without producing LNG. The byproduct dies with the primary product. Spot helium prices have roughly doubled since the crisis began. Industry consultants warn that prolonged disruption could push contract prices toward $2,000 per thousand cubic feet. A major industrial gas supplier has already begun assessing customers a helium surcharge. Phil Kornbluth, the most cited helium market consultant, stated the assessment directly: the world cannot compensate for the loss of a third of its helium supply. South Korea imports 64.7 percent of its helium from Qatar. SK Hynix and Samsung operate high-volume fabs producing the DRAM and high-bandwidth memory that power every AI accelerator, every data centre GPU, and every cloud computing cluster on Earth. Helium cools silicon wafers during fabrication. It serves as a carrier gas in deposition and etching tools. It enables leak detection in vacuum systems. Modern extreme ultraviolet lithography requires helium-cooled environments for precise temperature control. Without helium, the fabrication process degrades or stops. SK Hynix and Samsung hold two to three months of helium inventory. Two to three months is not a buffer. It is a countdown. If Ras Laffan remains offline beyond that window, South Korean memory production faces rationing. TSMC in Taiwan is somewhat more diversified but still uses Qatar-linked supply chains. The entire AI hardware supply chain, from HBM3E memory stacks to advanced logic chips, sits inside helium-dependent ecosystems. Beyond semiconductors, helium cools the superconducting magnets in more than 14,000 MRI machines operating worldwide. It pressurises rocket fuel tanks and purges propulsion systems in aerospace. CERN’s Large Hadron Collider depends on helium cryogenic systems. There is no substitute for helium in any of these applications at industrial scale. The United States and Qatar together account for more than 70 percent of global production. The US federal helium reserve and private suppliers offer partial relief, but global prices and spot availability are still governed by Qatar’s market share. Japan’s Iwatani has drawn on US reserves. Canada and the Rockies are seeing renewed investor interest. None of this replaces 63 million cubic metres in weeks. The war hit uranium first. Then oil. Then nitrogen. Then water. Then plastic. Then medicine. Then sulfur. Now helium. Eight layers. Each one deeper. Each one closer to the infrastructure that sustains modern civilisation. The chip that processes your data, the magnet that scans your body, and the rocket that launches your satellite all depend on an atom that leaves the planet when you lose it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Israel is killing an average of 8 children a day in Lebanon.
Why is a “state” like this allowed to exist?

Absolute psychopath. An American reporter asks Netanyahu about US soldiers dying for his war, and he literally brushes it off saying "freedom has its costs." He is sacrificing American lives without a single second of hesitation.

Open sources indicate a massive increase in Iranian launches since March 16th. That day firings went up 63.2% and one the 17th increased by 19.4%. Today it is on pace to increase again.
The type of missiles is also different. Approximately 50% of Iranian ballistic missiles fired recently have contained cluster warheads, which can saturate radar and force air defense systems (like Patriot or Iron Dome) to fire multiple interceptors per target.
This shows what we have long suspected. The IDF and CENTCOM are lying about the rates of destruction of launchers and Iranian missiles. Indeed, the UAE Ministry of Defence noted on March 17 that there has been "no apparent reduction in launches" since the early days of the war.
