Really the most incredible image. And not a single one looks even mildly embarrassed to be sitting like that while the US president sits behind his massive desk and tells them what time it is....

Pick a magazine cover from NINE years ago and claim it represents today. Last time I was in Europe I saw plenty of "old Europeans" and less "New Europeans". But hey, maybe I don't spend enough time in the Banlieues of Paris or certain sections of Marseilles.....

If heaven and hell exist in the form many believe they do, it will be hard, if not impossible, for a king, potentate or president of a powerful republic to gain entry. The Pearly Gates are not climbable, like the border wall is.

Dear all, Benjamin Weinthal has sent another threatening email to my work account calling me a antisemite and terrorist. I am not suicidal and if something happens to me, it is not an accident. Please circulate this tweet to bring me protection.

I feel like if you're the guy that has just spent the last few months saying, Just let me take over a little more of: - Syria - Gaza - The West Bank While continuing to occupy Lebanon. And casually talking about Greater Israel. And bombing Iran in the middle of all this

To recap, billions of U.S. tax dollars will be spent because Israel attacked Iran starting an illegal war, as billions more are being spent so Israel can starve and slaughter Palestinian children, all while Americans can’t afford healthcare…

“We are erasing the Palestinian state” If you’re a western government still droning on about a two state solution you are lying to yourself and your voters

Because while Palestinians don't have a state (yet), they exist as a people and are in conflict with an ally, Israel, which is within the SAME office. This is no "gotcha". The office is the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs which is identified in the document, as is the fact that

"Other" lobbyists representing the interests of other Middle East nations register as foreign agents under the FARA act. AIPAC doesn't, and yet "advances the interests" of Israel in its lobbying.

If you needed more evidence Trump has totally contracted out US policy in the Middle East to Netanyahu, look no further. It’s now apparently a fireable offense to say America opposes forced displacement of Palestinian civilians and regrets the killings of journalists. Shameful.

Egypt and Iran do have direct ties, with both nations maintaining diplomatic ‘missions’ (but not embassies) in each other’s capitals. The missions provide the same consular functions as embassies and consulates, and maintain contact with officials of each nation. Naturally,

While from a western perspective it may be that Iran appears to be “unconstructive”, but from the perspective of Iran it was in the middle of negotiations with the US when Israel militarily attacked it, killing some 1000 of its citizens; an act illegal under international law.

He refers to "concerns" over the nuclear program? What concerns? According to the Trump administration the program has been "obliterated" and according to both the US and Israel if it is re-started, Iran will be bombed again. Neither the UK nor the other members of the E3 have

Nobody on the right seems to care about starvation in Gaza paid for by our tax dollars, the dire state of unaffordable health care in America; or the extreme inequality in income among Americans rich and poor. But a logo change...(with the same font) that was never about that

Yes, clearly "haters won't shut her down". But she still has to go to sleep at night knowing that she has prevented children from life-saving care. It is one thing to pretend to be a baddie to get clicks, to get attention, or to promote your "brand". It's altogether another
