Trump is threatening all 10 million Iranian civilians in Tehran, ordering them to evacuate. The US and Israel plan to bomb Tehran into rubble. You know how difficult it is to evacuate 10 million people? What about the elderly & people with disabilities? Sick imperial bloodlust

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”. They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour. They were gunned down and murdered instead. What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Donald Trump's failed US military parade was funded by big corporations like Palantir, Amazon, Coinbase, Oracle, and Anheuser-Busch. It was organized by America250, with sponsors Walmart, Coca-Cola, & Lockheed Martin. The USA is just an imperial corporation posing as a country.

I argue these are the goals of the US-Israeli war on Iran: - Maintain US hegemony in West Asia (aka the Middle East) - Destroy the anti-colonial Axis of Resistance, making possible the total colonization of Palestine - Prevent Iran from ever developing nuclear capabilities -

The warmongering US general who served as Trump's national security advisor in his 1st term, Mike Flynn, admitted what anti-imperialists have been saying: The US is sponsoring Israel's war in order to overthrow Iran's government, impose "US global dominance", and encircle China.

Israel's ex Prime Minister Golda Meir was a US citizen. Israel's longest-serving PM Netanyahu had US citizenship twice. Both grew up and were educated in the US. Netanyahu proudly called Israel the US' "mighty aircraft carrier". Israel is a genocidal outpost of the US empire.

The fascist Israeli regime is using tanks to massacre Palestinian civilians as they desperately try to get food in the Gaza concentration camp. Reuters has consistently whitewashed Israel's crimes, but even it is gradually acknowledging the barbaric reality of this genocide.
