how is America even a real place? What is this video? It’s like a skit lollll

🇺🇸 Media: Families in Gaza are struggling 🇮🇱 Media: Israel is doing the Hunger Games

Headline after headline fails to say WHO is starving Palestinians in Gaza. This is how Western media whitewashes Israel’s crimes.

The flotilla crew, who to be clear are brave political prisoners, sailed right into being kidnapped by Nazis because they hoped the arrests of a few Europeans with recognizable names would mean more to us than the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians a week. Shame on everyone.

Ladies and gentlemen, the guy who for years was the editor in chief of the best selling newspaper in Germany (and in Europe)

What prompting/promoting yourself to field marshal does for your social life...

NYT when 🇮🇱 attacks vs when 🇮🇷 retaliates

I am still thinking of that statement from the German foreign ministry blaming Iran for the escalation. A statement issued after Israel’s attack and before Iran’s response.

🤔

man, really miss the days of classically trained orientalists from Yale and Harvard - fluent in Arabic and Farsi, extolling the virtues of Hafez and the unexpected sweetness of the arid Arabian air - calling for bombs to rain down on our peoples

what a remarkable time to be alive. the more incoherent the exchange, the more viral it becomes. the incentives have flipped. gaffes don’t end careers, they might even accelerate them. in the past this would’ve been a career ender for ted.

Uh? With this attack Israel violated 4 or 5 provisions in international law. And Iran should return to the negotiation table? Iran was at the negotiation table! Then Israel bombed the table and Iran’s negotiator. Better not to say anything than this incoherent word salad

With this ridiculous display of Orwellian and Putinesque Newspeak, the EU is competing for the leadership of a post-rules-based international order Iran was *literally* sitting at the negotiation table when Israel *assassinated* the negotiator

The hate is strong in the American biblical thumpers. It's amazing how the country with thousands of nuclear death stars is calling to annihilate a country with no death stars.

The humans definitely won't need any of that energy output in a couple of decades anyways...

TIME cover from 2003 about ‘remaking’ the Middle East. We’re not exaggerating when we say it’s the same playbook.

And then you have this former republican mom who is better equipped to discuss what’s happening and what’s at stake than 99% of the mainstream US news media landscape. The most critical point she makes here is that if Iran *did* have nukes (or evening imminent imminent nukes)

The current version of the Zionist state requires it to be more and more of a killing machine. Let me repeat: more and more of a killing machine, just to exist.

From the same author, 22 years ago. Brilliant.

Spot the difference in WaPo coverage. Israeli strikes have targets, & kill or wound no one. Iranian strikes apparently have no targets & just attack people.
