There is currently an effort to dismiss as a conspiracy theory the claim that the US was manipulated into the Iran War by Israel.
Meanwhile, the NYT in April: "The decision by President Trump to give the go-ahead to join Israel in attacking Iran was influenced by a presentation by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in February that led to a series of discussions inside the White House over the following days and weeks."
The efforts of Netanyahu were central, not peripheral, in the decision to go to war. The Israel Lobby in DC (FDD, etc) also played a role.

I stand with Jill Stein.
While the Republicans and Democrats have been funding Israel’s genocide Jill Stein has been fighting against it, and because of that the Trump administration is prosecuting her. Please go to JillStein.net to sign the petition to get the charges dropped.
You left out the rest you fucking whiny little bitch that show Nour suffered through starvation and lack of medical supplies that worsened her condition thanks to intentional blockades by Shitrael

Ansar Allah governs Sana’a, yet Saudi Arabia and the West insist on calling them 'rebels':
@s_m_marandi:
'It’s like saying the REBELS IN LONDON. There’s a government in London.'
'Saudi Arabia has put itself in a VERY ODD POSITION.'

This is insane!!! America is descending into a fascist hell-hole.
And where are the Democrats who should be standing up for Dr. Stein?
They’re still busy blaming her for their 2024 election defeat so they don’t have to do any self-reflection about facilitating a genocide.
Free Jill Stein!
Dr. Jill Stein is facing fascist retaliation by the Trump regime for protesting against Israeli genocide. She faces 18 months in prison after being violently arrested by the state for opposing Israel
Where are the “left” voices standing with her? Where is Bernie Sanders? Zohran Mamdani? AOC and the DSA? Are they truly going to stay quiet and refuse solidarity with victims of fascism simply because they are not a Democrat!? This is terrifying signs of things to come

Michael Parenti (1933-2026) on the ‘free market’:
‘The free market mythology argues that the most ruthless, selfish, opportunistic, greedy, calculating plunderers, applying the most heartless measures in cold blooded pursuit of corporate interests and wealth accumulation, will produce the best results for all of us through something called the invisible hand.’
The rise of socialism in the United States, particularly among young people, is precisely because Americans can see how ridiculous this mythology of free market capitalism is, given the deteriorating material conditions for millions of Americans, while a tiny oligarchy prospers to astronomical heights.
Socialism may be in its infancy in the United States, some who call themselves socialists may only understand it as ‘when the government provides public services’…
But the ideas of socialism in the US will snowball and mature, bringing in the ideas of places where socialism has a long tradition such as China, Russia, Latin America, and Europe.
Socialism is in its infancy in the United States, the obvious dystopian realities of late-stage capitalism in the US will only fuel its rise and maturation.
Prof. Richard Wolff on the rise of SOCIALISM in the United States🇺🇸:
‘You have to remember when you talk about the US, that for the last 70-75 years, we have lived under a regime. It is a regime that has demonised anything and everything having to do with the Soviet Union, the arch enemy, the communists, the socialists, the anarchists.
Most of my students, who are otherwise intelligent, hardworking, very good young men and women, but when you ask them about these issues, they talk as if socialism, communism, Marxism, anarchism, and many other things are synonyms. They have no concept of them beyond they’re bad, they’re foreign, they’re negative.
Therefore, for there to even be a serious socialism in this country, which there now is, is an amazing achievement. The whole country is indebted to Bernie Sanders because he broke the taboo by saying, “No, I’m not going to run away from the label socialist.” But we are in the early stages now, so it’s basically too early to answer your question beyond saying it’s very impressive how quickly it’s growing.
The latest Gallup polls in our country show that if you ask people below the age of 34, the majority now say they prefer socialism to capitalism.’
