In @nytopinion I write that President Trump is failing to be a peacemaker. He is not on track to reduce America’s military involvement in the world and is keeping the United States in a position that invites more wars, potentially much larger ones. Gift link below.
Israeli soldiers killed six children and shredded the bodies of several others in this attack in Gaza City today. Horrific scenes of the aftermath.
Excited to join @tparsi tomorrow, August 22, at noon EST for a conversation about my new book and the evolving situation in Iran. Don’t miss it — register here: nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…
Release the hostages. Until then, starve away. (This is all a lie anyway. It amazes me that the media continues to regurgitate Muslim terror propaganda.)

Does the EU foreign policy head even understand what she is writing here? First, silence and no action for ~2 years as Israel commits genocide, and then suddenly saying that "all options remain on the table" - which is diplomatic speak for threatening military action (!!?)
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges
This broke me. 😭😭😭😭 These Palestinian toddlers weren't even alive on Oct 7. All they have known in their short lives is genocide. A genocide conducted by Israel, underwritten by the US, and supported by Europe.
A new plan to settle Gaza with Israelis was presented in the Knesset today. It includes the following elements: * 1.2 million Jews will relocate to Gaza. * All Palestinians will be expelled. * 300,000 housing units will be built * High-tech, agriculture, and education…
זו תוכנית ההתיישבות היהודית בעזה שהוצגה היום בכנס בכנסת בהשתתפות ח״כים ושר האוצר - 1.2 מיליון יהודים - בלי עזתים כי כולם יגורשו או יהגרו ולא רק מרצון - הקמת 300,000 יחידות דיור - הקמת מרכזי הייטק, חקלאות והשכלה ואח״כ מתפלאים שהעולם לא משתכנע שישראל שם רק בשביל להגן על עצמה

Bogie Ayalon, former Defense Minister of Israel, accuses the IDF and Israel's security leadership of committing war crimes. Clearly, Israel's former Defense Minister must be Hamas...
ראשי מערכת הביטחון- הרמטכ״ל, ר׳ המוסד ומ״מ ר׳ השב״כ, פינוי אוכלוסיה שלמה מבתיה ללא אבחנה, הריסת בתיה באופן שיטתי וריכוזה בתא שטח מצומצם ב״עיר הומניטרית״, לצורך ״גירושה מרצון״ - זו סדרה של פשעי מלחמה על פי דין, שלא לדבר על ערכי המוסר שלנו. הרעבת אוכלוסיה, כדי להביאה ל״גירוש מרצון״…
This guy did so bad that other Iranians monarchists online are saying the Ayatollah sent him to make them look stupid despite him just reiterating their views. In some cultures after embarrassing your people like this it would be appropriate to end your life.
Palestinian man walks calmly in Hebron with his arms raised. The Israeli soldiers shoots him in the back. This happens all the time for a simple reason: The impunity the US & Europe provide Israel not only enables this, it encourages the steady increase of Israeli war crimes.
Alex de Waal is one of the world's foremost experts on famine. Listen to every word he says about Israel's forced starvation of the people of Gaza: "There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled"
IDF wants praise for not shooting any civilians for 40 seconds
When you look past the headlines and Hamas’ lies, the truth is clear: Israel is not at war with the people of Gaza. Today, many civilians advance toward the soldiers, the only order given to our troops is: do not engage, do not shoot. Watch the encounter:
Rhetoric w/o policy change is meaningless. It won't stop the carnage in Gaza, absolve Washington of complicity, or contribute to regional stability. Trump is continuing the failed policies of his predecessors by ceding the initiative to Israel. This is not America First.
Sometimes I wonder: Was it all an illusion? Was there ever such a thing as a humanity that ensured a universal & categorical rejection of hunting children for sport? Because if it was, why do we react so differently to the daily images of Palestinian children being genocided?

چرا سلطنتطلبانِ ساکنِ غرب که حامیِ اسرائیل و راستِ افراطی هستند کت و شلوار رو جایی که نباید میپوشن؟ چون ایدئولوژیشون مبتنی بر فاصلهگذاری بین خودشون و دیگر مهاجران شرقیه و نمیتونن رنگ پوستشون رو عوض کنن. پس تصویر ذهنی خودشون از آدمِ غربی رو به صورت اغراقشده بازسازی میکنن.
Extraordinary. AFP says its journalists are in imminent risk of being starved to death by Israel. This has never happened since the agency was founded. Never has any of its journalists been starved to death
