I honestly just look at Israel as our 51st state as they pretty much are. We use them for our Middle East agenda and they occasionally go rogue as Bibi is a sociopath and always has been. Also, if you look at how many in congress and the senate are Jewish or have a Israel connection it’s staggering.
I don’t say this being anti-Jewish either. Just stating facts

Quick last thought before I go to sleep.
As of now, the Islamic regime is still holding leverage, choking the Strait of Hormuz and putting global energy flows under pressure, with traffic nearly frozen and oil markets rattled
U.S. and Israel knew this was coming. A Hormuz disruption was always the predictable move.
If you think this ends here, you are misreading the board.
Something is building, and when it comes, it will be powerful.
It’s now the U.S. move.

@ProfDBernstein @ExtSpoxEU "...assist the Lebanese government in restoring its effective authority in the region".
But maybe I am naive?
English
The EU is deeply concerned about the ongoing Israeli offensive in Lebanon. Civilians are paying the highest price also in terms of casualties.

@PomTerkins You have no idea what you’re talking about. The fact that speech is antisemitic, of course doesn’t make it unprotected speech in the United States. That’s not some victory that’s black letter law that everyone accepts.
English
Judges are largely finding that criticism of Israel/Zionism is 1st amendment protected speech, not antisemitic. Ditto for slogans like “From the river to the sea” Major blows to pro-Israel lawfare operation theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

@ProfDBernstein @ExtSpoxEU They have had EU soldiers in Lebanon for decades with the mandate to disarm Hezbollah and enforce the resolution. They have done nothing. Maybe they even helped Hezbollah.

@Lippy_Larry @ExtSpoxEU The UN peacekeepers' role doesn't include doing anything, at best they just stand around. I'm talking about the EU offering combat.
English
@ProfDBernstein @ExtSpoxEU They'd be as useless as the UN peackeepers.
Israel doesn't need help with this one. Let them just stay out of the way.

@PoliticsFollow6 @wallyrashid Apparently not, because many fewer Palestinians have left the WB.
English
@ProfDBernstein @wallyrashid They left for a variety of reasons but they are far better treated in Iran compared to the Palestinians under Israeli occupation.

She's an Iranian Jewish zionist.
Everytime they have an Iranian refugee on Fox News this is who they put on.

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Fox News says Iranians are begging US-Israeli bombs to rain down on their own country: "They're tweeting 'Please don't stop!'... They are celebrating every time a bomb goes off"

@ProfDBernstein @CarriePrejean1 @JeninYounesEsq @JasonJonesVPP She's nuts. But, don't lower yourself to being the inetrnet grammar police. We've all done something similiar in typing quickly.

Met with some amazing Palestinian’s this morning. Our work has just begun. Let us continue to pray for a free Palestine and free America from Christian Zionism. 🇵🇸🇺🇸

There's a certain kind of self-described libertarian who is disinclined to believe anything the US, Israeli, or Ukrainian government says, but inclined to believe anything Iran or Russia says.
These people are not actually libertarians, they just hate the US government and by extension its allies.

Joe Kent: “There is zero evidence that Iran was trying to build a nuclear weapon, Netanyahu is warmongering.”
The Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament: “We tried to develop nuclear weapons, but couldn't keep it secret.”

Love the community note:
Megyn Kelly's show used a circular graphic blending the US flag with Iran's on her March 3 "AM Update" episode titled "America's Iran War Planning."

@Average_NY_Guy You don’t put another country’s flag on the USA flag, ever. We don’t share it. We treat the flag as inviolate. It’s extremely inappropriate.

@AhmedKAli01 @JohnSimpsonNews If you were really worried about civilian collateral damage you would be actively advocating Hezbollah's surrender.
English
@ProfDBernstein @JohnSimpsonNews Imagine a whole professor supporting the destruction of civilian infrastructure! The same group that is supporting the killing of toddlers as target practice!
Prof to make things easier just tell us hw many mo human beings do u need to kill so that u can quench your bloodthirst?
English
I don’t get it. If Hezbollah had flats in this block (unlikely in central Beirut but not impossible) why did the Israelis give everyone inside an hour to get out — including those they wanted to kill? And if there weren’t any Hezbollah people there, why destroy a building with dozens of civilians in it?
The Associated Press@AP
An Israeli airstrike struck an apartment building in central Beirut, on Wednesday. The Israeli army had warned residents to evacuate about an hour before completely flattening it as day broke.

@ProfDBernstein @JohnSimpsonNews If the Hezbollah operatives have already left, what’s the military necessity of destroying the building? Preventing them from returning? Does forcing a handful of Hezbollah operatives to relocate justify destroying an apartment building and leaving hundreds of civilians homeless?
QME
@ProfDBernstein @JohnSimpsonNews Is point to unhouse the hezbollah members living or working there? Or are there immobile military assets there? Is it really just office space?
English
You can't be serious. There's a fort. You warn all the inhabitants to leave the fort. Why destroy the fort, they have already left? Because they will come back. In this case, they may also have infrastructure in the building that can't be moved out quickly and isn't easily replaced.

@ProfDBernstein @JohnSimpsonNews Israel's leaders literally have active warrants for war crimes.

@AaronBastani That's the "only" possible explanation? You can't possibly believe that.
English
The only explanation was they were trying to kill a journalist. There’s nothing else there.
Hundreds have been killed by Israel in the last several years.

The moment Israel targeted British journalist Steve Sweeney in southern Lebanon.
English
First, the government does not by its nature engage in smart allocation. Second, the "scarcities" are perennial, the $200 billion is one-time only. Third, and most important, if you believe that Iran was only going to be a bigger threat later that would have to be dealt with, cheaper to deal with it now.
English
Upwards of 90% of all the terrible scarcities making our lives worse could be solved by a smart allocation of $200 billion. But instead we're going to use that money to murder Iranian children.
Any Dem who supports this is an utter piece of shit who needs a primary.
