Israel is just a serial killer impersonating a country at this point.

Love that Bisan won because she deserved it and has been imperative in covering what’s really happening with “Israel’s” genocide against Palestine.
A day of depressing news.
The far right coming out of the Austrian election as the biggest party, and Israel’s continued campaign to be at war with every other country in the Middle East.

Jesus... "Democracy Dies in Darkness" ok sure Washington Post!!
I'll just add the latest article on Zeteo, "The Myth of 'Human Shields", which disassembles one of Israel's most heinous lies about the necessity of """collateral damage""" in only a few paragraphs. The fact that one has to deliberately hunt for this kind of honesty, especially compared to your embed Ashling, honestly gets me so bent out of shape sometimes that I find myself clenching my teeth throughout the day when I think about it.
Looks like Iran have sufficiently saturated their missile attack to get substantial numbers through the Iron Dome and other Israeli defence systems.
I think usually the Iron Dome takes out 90%+ of rockets fired into Israel from Hamas and Hezbollah, other than those very close to the border it doesn't have time to intercept.
Given the isolation/unpopularity of the Iranian regime in the region, will be interesting to see what Jordan, Saudi Arabia etc... say in response.
But assuming Netanyahu does his usual warmongering scorched earth approach in response, this could get very scary very quickly.
The Israeli governments absolute lack of any serious strategy beyond blow up everything and everyone was terrifying enough, but is even more unfathomable when the dismantling of Hezbollah leadership provided a small but genuine opportunity for progress to stabilise Lebanon and (as the Jordanians I think it was were saying) start to move towards the design of some structure for peace talks. But I suppose we all know Netanyahu is not interested in a two state solution and neither are those who prop him up in power.

Fuck around and find out. According to Zionists logic, Israel shouldn't be using its civilians as human shields!

Our (the US's) ascent to global police was one of the worst things that has ever happened, huh? Doubly so because the average American doesn't even try to consider whether or not it's ethical, or the fact that we (the world) all largely got along just fine before we took up the post. It's beyond time we got knocked off our high horse. It's crazy to think that our relations with Iran used to be relatively healthy not that long ago! But do we take responsibility for ruining that and actively destabilizing an entire population of people? Nah. Infuriating.
I really want to see at least a modicum of justice for the disgusting things Palestine have had to endure because of us, not to mention all the other countries we've """influenced,""" and I hope to God an adult in the room comes forward to stop this meat grinder that's spreading through the Middle East soon. I'm a huge fan of not creating global conflict for morally repugnant reasons, as it turns out!
Hope our Middle Eastern/Western Asia hunties here are doing okay.

The European empires were as morally evil, but the US’s ascendance was at the same time as technological advances made it easier to subject people to that evil.

And remember, Palestine, Iran, Lebanon and Syria all have the right to defend themselves as well.

Yanno... I'm looking into this now and my thoughts are racing. The way we're potentially on the cusp of the kind of conflict that would define the rest of life on earth for everyone currently alive who hasn't already been suffering.
