UN warns of civilian devastation in Gaza https://enapp.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202410/22/AP6716fc1ba3103f0966a078ce.html

What have the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?

1. Critical infrastructure of the nuclear fuel cycle appears to have been unaffected or sustained only minor damage.
2. The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue.
3. A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.
4. Israel is under attack, explosions are rocking the country, and people are panicking.
5. The US is now entangled in a new conflict, with prospects of a ground operation looming on the horizon.
6. Iran’s political regime has survived — and in all likelihood, has come out even stronger.
7. The people are rallying around the country’s spiritual leadership, including those who were previously indifferent or opposed to it.
8. Donald Trump, once hailed as ‘president of peace,’ has now pushed the US into another war.
9. The vast majority of countries around the world oppose the actions of Israel and the United States.
10. At this rate, Trump can forget about the Nobel Peace Prize — not even with how rigged it has become. What a way to kick things off, Mr. President. Congratulations!

Breaking | According to Iranian reports, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security Committee stated that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is prepared to close the Strait of Hormuz if 'necessary and circumstances require it.'

Destruction of the deployment point of the 34th separate brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces using the Kh-35 in Kherson.

An armed Israeli-backed group led by Yasser Abu Shabab admitted to launching a violent armed attack on Nasser Hospital, one of the few remaining hospitals in southern Gaza. Hours later, the group deleted the statement and issued a complete denial.

So Poland is prepared to be 💣ed into the stone age, eh? Being half Polish, this is depressing.

You think you are on the side of "the civilized world."

The civilized world lynched people on postcards.
Dropped napalm on children.
Tested depleted uranium on entire cities.
Stole whole continents and called it destiny.

Are you sure you want to stand with civilization?

You can tell a lot about a society
by what it refuses to let break the spell.

For America, not even millions dead abroad are enough.
Not torture.
Not coups.
Not lies.
Not genocidal allies.
Not children buried in rubble with U.S. munitions stamped into the ruins.

If that still does not produce rupture,
then the problem is deeper than bad leaders.

It is a political culture built to metabolize atrocity
without losing self-respect.

Danny and Prof. Marandi discuss the latest developments in the Iran war, including the resumption of massive escalations in the Strait of Hormuz as the so called ceasefire deadline approaches. Are we headed for an extended all out war or will the US cave to its historic defeat?

New article from me:

Many of the National Basketball Association’s biggest stars are quietly allying themselves with the State of Israel, making official visits to the country, meeting IDF troops, and investing in its national security industry. Meanwhile, individuals criticizing Israel and supporting Palestinian liberation have been condemned, threatened, and marginalized.

This has caused widespread consternation and push back from the league’s largely progressive fan base. The NBA, in other words, has an Israel problem.
