The Iran war was brought to you by Jeffrey Goldberg. He turned the Holocaust into a bludgeon, branding critics “self-hating Jews” and selling Iran as “Amalek’s arsenal.” My @Mondoweiss piece names him Netanyahu’s key collaborator. mondoweiss.net/2026/05/how-je…

Oh please. AIPAC and its allies have spent decades policing the debate, punishing anyone who didn’t toe the pro-Israel line. Miss me with this shit.
Jacob N. Kornbluh@jacobkornbluh

In interview with @jmart, Josh Shapiro on AIPAC spending: “I think it's been used cynically by some to try and silence certain voices, to try and say that certain people participating in politics shouldn't count or should be viewed in a toxic way…. “What you are seeing is not, ‘AIPAC money’ or however it was termed, but you're getting ‘the Jews who give to that candidate who also support AIPAC.’”

Have to credit the Times for using this photo to illustrate their Trump-Iran negotiations story. It stands against an entire industry of demonizing and dehumanizing Iran and its people that the war lobby has worked so hard to build. A thousand words indeed. And credit to Trump if he has indeed recognized that we are better off dealing with Iran (as Nixon did with China) rather than extinguishing it, as Israel would prefer.

"Golan is saying that this whole murdering medic story– whose family Netanyahu called to show his  support,... this story DOES NOT END WELL!" mondoweiss.net/2016/05/holoca… x.com/LTCPeterLerner…

עשור עבר מאז ש @YairGolan1 אמר את הדברים הנוקבים הללו. אז הייתי בשירות והופתעתי מאד מהאמירה הפומבית שלו ביום הרגיש והעצוב הזה. לצערנו יאיר גולן צדק ובפרספקטיבה של עשור מדינת ישראל וביתר שאת ממשלת ישראל לקחה את הסימנים שגולן הצביע עליהם, והפך אותם למפת דרכים ותוכנית עבודה. חייבים תיקון.

This is not an insane conclusion. It is saner than a lot of Republican hawks, one whom I heard on CNN yesterday saying Iran would immediately nuke Washington and New York. This kind of insanity is par for the course on GOP and Iran, sad to say.
The American Conservative@amconmag

Vice President JD Vance on Iran: "It's not just that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon, it's what would happen if the Iranians did get a nuke. A lot of nations across the Gulf would want a nuclear weapon and then a lot of nations all across the world."

@jricole Turning “axis of evil” into “globalized intifada” is exactly how Hasbara Culture works: war abroad, paranoia at home, all wrapped in “Never Again.” I try to map that Frum logic here: mondoweiss.net/2026/05/how-je…

@NYTimesCohen Powerful piece. What I’ve been trying to add is how a whole Hasbara Culture of Holocaust/“Never Again” politics helped create the world you describe here, from the Iran debate onward. That’s what this Mondoweiss essay is about. mondoweiss.net/2026/05/how-je…

@briantashman Yes – and this time the Iraq pattern came wrapped in a “Never Again” media culture, where opposing war with Iran was cast as betraying the Jews. My Mondoweiss piece traces how that Hasbara Culture helped make this war possible. mondoweiss.net/2026/05/how-je…

@academic_la Turning Jewish suffering into political capital bought Israel short‑term impunity and long‑term disaster: isolation, moral rot, leaders who can only rule by promising a new Holocaust. I trace that arc to the Iran war in this Mondoweiss essay. mondoweiss.net/2026/05/how-je…

@MouinRabbani Your “Zionist totalitarianism update” sits on top of the Hasbara Culture I trace in this piece—Holocaust politics, Amalek talk, and the policing of dissent, all the way to the Iran war: mondoweiss.net/2026/05/how-je…

@davidfrum A despicable argument against journalists bringing facts from the ground despite targeting by the Israeli gov, Hamas, and their collaborators in the U.S. and elsewhere. You know nothing about Israel. You’re simply a useful idiot for Ben Gvir and Netanyahu haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…

"Stories harmful to Israel—false claims that Israel caused a famine as a weapon of war, or that an Israeli air strike destroyed a Gazan hospital—are reported credulously and corrected slowly, if at all. Stories that discredit Israel’s enemies, such as about Hamas’s crimes against Palestinians in Gaza, are reported grudgingly, if at all." theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/05/…
