hate @realscottritter ... such an arrogant prick



Nationalism is chametz, during Passover and always! Right now, the Pharaohs of our time are carrying out a campaign of mass slaughter and destruction across Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon — claiming to do so in the name of Judaism. In the U.S., the Trump regime exploits Jewish grief to justify crushing anyone who opposes these atrocities.🧵


What Arab Regimes Fear Most Is Iran’s Example Even as missiles rain down on co-belligerent Arab regimes, Iran is perceived by them as a threat not primarily on account of its military power but because it embodies what sovereignty looks like when exercised as a political practice rather than as an empty formal claim, one that simultaneously indicts the past and destabilises the future. Until now, the Arab state system has operated on the premise that the US and Israel set the limits of the politically possible in the region and that regimes which accept those limits will be protected--an order maintained by a regional orthodoxy that framed subordination as a strategic and sovereign choice. But Iran is now demonstrating (not only to subservient Arab regimes but to Europe and beyond) what substantive state sovereignty means in practice, while teaching how popular sovereignty emerges once a state has constructed the collective sovereign subject that reproduces it. The result is a depth of popular identification in which even critics rally behind the state in moments of existential confrontation, defending not necessarily the government but the state as the political expression of the collective to which they belong. No Arab leader could possibly fathom how former protestors and even dissidents might refrain from undermining, much less rally behind their state in such moments, because no Arab state has constructed the collective sovereign subject that would make such identification possible. If this war confirms what is already becoming difficult to deny, that Iran and Hizbullah have imposed costs capable of deterring future aggression and reshaping the regional order, it will amount to a historical renewal of the Iranian revolution, bringing back into view the sovereignty question that gave rise to it and that the Arab order was built to suppress. The deeper danger for this order lies in that question which foregrounds what has long been concealed, that the surrender of sovereignty was always a political choice rather than a necessity and that the bargain demanding submission in exchange for protection ultimately delivered neither sovereignty nor security.





Today, the US-Israel bombed the home of Dr. Kamal Kharazi, Iran's former foreign minister. The bombing resulted in the martyrdom of Dr. Kharazi's wife. Dr. Kharazi is severely injured.

BERTRAND RUSSELL: “Marx pretended that he wanted the happiness of the proletariat. What he really wanted was the unhappiness of the bourgeois. And it was because of that hate element that his philosophy produced disaster.”



⚡️🇺🇸U.S President Trump: I think Christians like Israel more than Jewish people like Israel. If you didn’t have me as President, you wouldn’t have Israel.

The Iron Dom is important & saves lives. Israel should be able to buy it on their own with a $45 defense billion budget. Israel is a first world country, and it can pay for the defensive systems it needs. We should not be subsidizing them, especially given their egregious violations of human rights law. Even Netanyahu has recognized the inevitability of Israel moving away from US aid.
