No matter how wrong the war hawks and establishment media were about the last war…and the one before that…and the one before that…and the one before that…, they will shamelessly and confidently promote the next war using the same talking points.

If we normalise this we don’t get to come back from it

Fucking fucking fucking awful. Should be noted Israel Katz, an idiot, put out a statement about silencing 'Iran's propaganda' about an hour before the attack. So if they pretend this was about anything other than attacking unfavorable media: they'd be lying.

I truly feel insane to be living through a moment where the international community seems to believe that a country that has been starving 2.3 million people is benefiting democracies around the world.

This great quote by Hannah Arendt is circulating online again. Rightly so!

This

Germany's Süddeutsche Zeitung: If legal norms were applied evenly, Israel's war on Iran would be just as illegal as Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Because this would be "absurd", the "law of the strongest" must take priority over international law.

British decline in one story. Any state which finds itself incapable of managing a project as basic as rolling out a 20th century tech between its biggest cities needs to ask itself some profound questions about what hope it has of managing the technologies of the 21st.

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

"It is now the routine to shoot & kill desperate & starving people while they try to collect little food from a company made of mercenaries." This, from the head of UNRWA, should horrify us all. This alone should stop the UK from selling arms to Israel. Shamefully, it won't.

This, from Germany, is absolutely deranged. Iran was at the negotiating table, and already offered a commitment not to build nuclear weapons. Israel then targeted Iran's chief negotiator with an airstrike?

“We cannot in the world, any more than in our own nation, subscribe to one law for the weak another for the strong; one law for those opposing us, another for those allied with us.” President Eisenhower

The cruelty of this is stomach-turning

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

This is absolutely fucking insane. For the avoidance of doubt, God was not a 19th-century nationalist and the Bible is not a modern political manifesto. It’s terrifying how many people think ancient theology is the same as political science.

Enjoying the current intellectual coherence of the war-hungry anti-refugee right. What do they think will happen if America starts carpet-bombing a nation of 90 million people?

This is now how the U.S. treats a student journalist from a country that's one of our closest allies. Despicable.
