“We believed that our rulers were special spiritual beings” is the political equivalent of “our culture is unique because we value food and family.”

It’s kind of funny that the New Yorker spent a paragraph trying to insist that divine right of kings/mandate of heaven is this unique untranslatable product of the Persian mind.

You used to be able to get away with just repeating whatever Pentagon lawyers said about their “intent,” but now the President of the United States is saying publicly he wants to terrorize and destroy Iranian society.
There is a difference. The goal of the Russian strikes in Ukraine is to cause civilian harm and hardship. I covered the Russian operation in Chechnya, with the same indifference to “collateral damage” that typifies Putin’s ongoing operation

Is there any constituency for this? I suppose in some ways it makes it more damning: he actually believes this stuff regardless of whether it helps his electoral chances. And the things he believes are odious.

It's kind of strange to see Gulf monarchies refer to Iran derogatorily as an "Islamic regime" Are we to believe a regime that has sharia law in its official law code is hostile to the concept of Islam now? The Americanization of these rulers is incredible.
You negotiate with terrorists. We do not. In the UAE, we don’t negotiate with terrorists we ban them, we eliminate them. To Washington, to the EU, to NATO, to Israel do whatever you need to do. The Islamic regime in Iran and its terrorist network must go. BTW..The Muslim

NEW: As Trump sends 1000s more troops toward Iran, service members report disillusionment+panic - Troops arguing "We do not want to die for Israel" - Uptick in conscientious objector + dissent talk - Evacuees from region describe huge danger/vulnerability https://t.co/aP64wpfitO

The possibility of an American ground operation in Iran is growing, but one service member familiar with troops in the region told HuffPost the prospect would be "an absolute disaster."

Disgusting. If only Pashinyan had a tenth of the assertiveness against Aliyev that he has for a refugee who was ethnically cleansed from her home in Artsakh
#Pashinyan argued with an #Artsakh woman in the subway: "Now you've arrived here and says we want to return. We've spent the billions earned by the citizens of #Armenia for you to stay. Why didn't you stay?.. Next time, you runaways, don't you dare say that I gave up Karabakh".

We are at an historical in which wars of annihilation and elimination of a nation as a group are proposed as a model.

🚨Israel tortured a baby, burned him with cigarettes, pierced his skin with a nail, held him hostage for 10 hours, all in front of his father to pressure the dad into a false confession! Not even demonic would describe this barbaric, savage, monstrous, psychotic behaviour!
Recently, Israeli forces subjected a one-year-old child to abuse to pressure his father into giving confessions east of Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, according to local and family sources. The child's father, Osama Abu Nassar, suffered psychological trauma after the

Torturing a baby in front of his father to extract a confession from the father. Has the most imaginative Hollywood writer written a villain as evil as the average IDF soldier?

An Iranian woman films her neighborhood being bombed by Israel. As she seeks cover, Israel strikes again, in what appears to be a double-tap strike. The woman films her own death. Some Iranians in the diaspora dance and celebrate this, believing these are democracy bombs...

Because the Israeli government supports them as a policy tool.
Hundreds of settlers participated in a night of attacks on the Palestinian community across the occupied West Bank. This violence keeps escalating and expanding because the Israeli government doesn't want to enforce the law.

Israeli settlers are to the IDF what Basij are to the IRGC.
Anyone who claims settlers are a fringe minority is being willfully deceptive They are the government's spearhead; terrorising villages, poisoning land and livestock, committing sexual violence all to pave the way for the IDF to finish the job and complete the ethnic cleansing

There’s something supremely saddening and enraging about seeing a hospital running on bare minimum power. Thinking about dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others tonight in Cuba. This is a blockade of death.
