  1. Iran has the right to defend itself.

  2. Attacking an open-air prison with air & ground forces is not a “conflict.” When one side does not have an army, navy or air-force, it’s not a “war.” The word you’re looking for is massacre

  3. It's hard for a lot of Americans to come to terms with this but, we are the bad guys.

  4. The richest country in the world has endless money for wars but can't afford to provide affordable healthcare/childcare/eldercare/housing/education & a meaningful retirement for the American people. Shame

  5. Under international law, Palestinians have a lawful and moral right to use "whatever means necessary," including "armed struggle" to resist Israeli occupation. And Israel has no lawful right to defend itself!

  6. 1) Lebanese homes & shops are not a combat zone; they are a civilian setting w/children & bystanders (who have been killed & injured here). 2) Not everyone affiliated w/Hezbollah is a combatant. Extrajudicial killing of non-combatants is a war crime.

  7. Could Israel be kicked out of the @UN for breaching 70+ resolutions? "The UN Charter offers a potential pathway for expulsion under Article 6, which allows the General Assembly to expel a member state that persistently violates the Charter's principles."

  8.  @SamPashmi  What about apartheid and genocide?

  10. Free America from AIPAC

  11. 2 things have happened in Gaza in the last 24 hours: 1) Israel killed 67 Palestinians 2) 6 Israeli hostages were found dead As you reflect on why only one of these stories is dominating the headlines

  12. As a reminder, the hostages could have been freed in October and all of the destruction and bloodshed in Gaza could have been avoided. But that’s not what Netanyahu wanted because it was never actually about the hostages.

  13.  @SamPashmi  What about 1948?

  14. Canadian doctor Ben Thompson tells the story of a doctor in Gaza who was forced to strip naked and stand for two days by Israeli occupation forces, urinating, and deficating where he stood. He was only allowed then to treat his patients while naked.

  15. In light of Israel’s indiscriminate terrorist attacks on Lebanon, it’s important to remember that its military headquarters is in the middle of Tel Aviv. Israel intentionally risks its own civilians, using them as human shields, as Israeli media has acknowledged.

  16. Never forget: Mike Pompeo admitted in 2019, "I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like, we had entire training courses". Pompeo then became secretary of state - head of the US State Department. This should be the official slogan of the US government.

  18. Zionism is not Judaism just like ISIS is not Islam. Criticizing the apartheid regime of Israel is not antisemitic just like criticizing the barbaric regime of Saudi Arabia is not Islamophobia!

  19. What the Israeli occupation did in Lebanon mirrors the actions of criminal gangs, not those of nations or states that seek to establish themselves in a world of values and ethics

  20. "Some ppl think everything started on Oct. 7th, this all began with the occupation of Palestine & the establishment of an apartheid state."

  21. It didn't start on Oct 7th. It started in 1948.

  22. Isreali airstrikes killed 6 of their own prisoners of war in Gaza, most of which were members of the IDF terrorist organization. There's only one way the prisoners are coming out of Gaza alive and that is through a prisoner swap. That means Israel must release Palestinian hostages. The truth, Netanyahu certainly doesn't want any of the captives to live because when they come out they always say nice things about Hamas. That means Hannibal directive.

  26. Al-Qaeda in Syria keeps changing its name for the same reason the military contractor formerly known as Blackwater keeps changing its name: it's a rebranding to rescue its damaged reputation to stifle public outcry and ensure further funding from the US government.

  33. Tell the truth! Iran didn't attack Israel. It' was Iran's retaliatory attack on Israel for bombing its embassy in Syria by Israel which was a violation of the international laws. Same thing happening again! Apartheid Israel violated the international laws and committed an assassination in Iran's soil provoking Iran to retaliate. What would you do if you were constantly attacked by a foreign regime that violates all rules and norms?

  37. Israel wants Americans to fight Iran for them. "What he really would like to happen is Israel sits back and the Americans do it for the Israelis" - says former head of Mossad.

  39. Just thinking about how many months the US spent blocking international efforts for a ceasefire and how long they’ve pretended Israel wants one. All while Gaza has been decimated, regional tensions remain high, and children are killed. How much death could have been prevented…

  43. Some days it's hard to say which is more horrific: the Gaza genocide itself, or the moral decay throughout our society which makes it possible.

  47. Secretary of state is supposed to be in charge of US diplomacy, which in theory should mean making peace & resolving conflicts without violence. The US Department of State was supposed to be the peacemaking counterbalance to the US Department of War but because the US runs a globe-spanning empire that is held together by endless violence it has little use for peacekeeping, so it mostly gets used to help inflict more violence & abuse. State Department was supposed to be the Peace Dept. but in practice the US just got 2 War Depts.

  48. What keeps you up at night? Margaret Brennan at "Face the Nation" & her stupidity keeps me up at night! The media was complicit in selling us the Iraq war nearly 20 yrs ago, promoting a false narrative of WMDs & fear from exaggerated threats. The same sick game is on again! The propaganda is the same! Iran & nuclear weapons! Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons but the apartheid regime of Israel does!

  50. The raison d’etre of the UN is 2 avoid war.Yet,after 349 days of genocide, turning civilian electronics into bombs, assassinations in sovereign territories, the UN hasnt overcome US intransigence. Arab,Iranian restraint is preventing large scale war but responsibility is global.
