Unilateral sanctions kill civilians, as once again demonstrated in a peer-reviewed study. They're not just morally wrong, they also drive migration, damage economic interests, and hurt the US standing in the world. It's past time for us to rethink our sanctions-first approach.

Another American contractor, 25, working in GAZA at GHF food centers, comes forward with horror stories. He likely won't be the last. @MiddleEastEye middleeasteye.net/news/us-contra…

!!!!! Israel is flying quadcopters into the tents of starving Palestinians and shooting pregnant women and women breastfeeding their children. This is what the US and Europe have enabled by granting Israel complete impunity.

I'm losing my fucking mind

I can’t believe Palestinian mothers have to beg for their children not to be starved and rely on Ms Rachel because the world’s leaders are silent.

Today, @SenRandPaul objected to a unanimous consent request on a resolution that would have urged Europe to snap back UN sanctions on Iran, which would enflame the nuclear crisis and risk the US reentering war with Iran. “Diplomacy cannot be all stick and no carrot."

America First🇺🇸

So, Speaker Johnson killed a vote on releasing Epstein files and a Judge just blocked the release of grand jury Epstein testimony. Man, for something that wasn’t at all a conspiracy, there sure are a lot of powerful people hell bent on us never seeing the proof.

The images from Gaza are unbearable. No, not random clips, whose provenance and accuracy are questionable — but what’s in the professional press. Meanwhile, a thoughtful, conservative Israeli journalist whom I admire told me recently, Yes, the starvation is real. People, often…

Airstrikes didn’t destroy Iran’s nuclear program because there is no viable military solution to preventing Iranian weaponization. This was a regime change attempt by Israel under thin nuclear disguise — and the U.S. must not get pulled in.

This morning, the American guided missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62) attempted to enter Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. In response, Iran’s Navy dispatched a helicopter from its third naval air region to intercept and shadow the vessel. The destroyer’s…

For the last months, Israel's government has planned, organized, and executed a program of mass starvation targeting men, women, and children in Gaza. Israel has organized a starvation. As was done in medieval times. Let that sink in.

Mohammad Ahmad Al Hasanat, 41, was one of 10 people who have died from starvation in the past 24 hours, according to the Palestinian health ministry. I must warn you the image you will see in @CNN’s @JDiamond1 reporting is graphic, but it shows what is happening in Gaza.

For every politician and journalist who supported Israel's onslaught, or stayed silent: This photograph should haunt you for the rest of your life. You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.

BBC Confirms the massacre of #Druze doctors, nurses, and patients in the #Syria National Hospital of #Suwayda by government forces. Dr Wissam Massoud, a neurosurgeon at the hospital, told the BBC: "It was a massacre… The soldiers came here saying they wanted to bring peace,…

Disengage from the Middle East and decouple from Israel or this will never stop.
