Ms von Schnurbein, has your family paid reparations to the Friedmans?

Even the Japanese have had it with Lindsey Graham....

Everybody who is hopping mad about Biden’s decision to pause ONE package of munitions to Israel are in effect saying the United States should shut up, stop following its own laws and turn itself into a no-questions-asked arms broker. A pathetic dent to U.S. power.

I’m not surprised but I’m still disgusted. Biden said that he wouldn’t ship weapons for a Rafah invasion. Israel invaded Rafah anyway and he just immediately returns to giving them all the weapons for their genocide.

Pathetically weak and utterly immoral.

It also looks like NYT is inventing a new language because this is barely English.

Now in Jerusalem: Undercover police dressed as Ultra Orthodox arrest an anti Zionist Jew during a protest against the State of israel in the Mea She'arim neighborhood

When it's an Israeli official with actual power 'rhetoric is just rhetoric' a 'distraction.'

When it's powerless college students with provocative rally chants its cause for a police crackdown, official presidential condemnations, and actual laws banning dissent.

265 Iranian Feminists and Rights Defenders Call for an Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza and the Upholding of International Law

Lol! The things the Israeli government prioritizes...

Results from #Iran 's parliamentary runoffs are in. 8% of eligible voters in Tehran cast ballots. Last time voting in the capital went to 2nd round (2012) turnout was 24%.

Khamenei's appeal for voting as 'national duty' has fallen on deaf ears. Now what?

The Iranian government's recent officially launched renewed campaign to strictly enforce the hijab law in public, which includes arresting those who do not comply on the streets, has led to numerous disturbing incidents, such as this video where a woman is publicly assaulted &…

The disingenuous claim that the UN has revised down the death toll in Gaza by half has been repeated by some of the largest Swedish media outlets, like SVT Nyheter Aftonbladet & Expressen. Really irresponsible reporting from these news outlets.

If these children were Ukrainian, half of Washington DC and all of Europe would be losing their minds right now...

Humbled that the @Washingtonian has for the 4th year in a row listed me as one of Washington's 25 most influential people in Foreign Affairs.

Tänk att med berått mod och sprudlande glädje delta i aktiv och grov desinformation om det mest väldokumenterade, i realtid pågående massmordet på värnlösa civila i modern tid. Svensk höger och det den gjort med svensk offentligt äcklar och skrämmer.

More counterproductive coercion rather than win-win diplomacy:

Earlier, Aryeh Neier did not believe that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. (He is the founder of @HRW!)

He has now changed his mind:

'I am now persuaded that Israel is engaged in genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.'
