Idea in western discourse that USA can simply stop wars whenever it feels “done”. But it has to ask Iran for peace. And we should not expect Iran to be a supplicant. Because:
1. Iran is winning
2. The US starts new wars whenever it pleases anyway, and it’s in Iran’s interest to create a deterrent.
Israel's war objectives:
All Palestinians dead. All Iranians dead. All Lebanese dead. Dominion over Middle East nations, their oil, & gas. Become a superpower. Control the West via child-rape & blackmail. Escalate & destroy.
Iran's war objective - survival.
UN now demands Iran stop fighting. WTF?
Dr Assal Rad—
"Imagine the coverage—the tv segments, push notifications, posts, headlines—if 16 Israelis, including children, were killed in one day. During a so-called ceasefire.
"This is a horrific news story, not business as usual. Don’t let them normalize the killing of Palestinians."
Find Out stage.
Note to Australia's PM.
The pro-Israel lobby congratulates itself for wrecking the livelihood of Australia’s most prominent campaigner against child sexual abuse.
ABC radio host is asking Grace Tame to defend potential future “violence” hypothetically caused by her words while ignoring the facts she states, of genocidal violence committed by Israel. Live on air, he asks a survivor of sexual violence to condemn unproven Israeli claims of sexual violence.
South Africa said on Sunday that it is reviewing Israel’s response submitted to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the genocide case filed over alleged violations of the Genocide Convention in the Gaza Strip
"The effectiveness of the group’s activities poses questions surrounding the influence of pro-Israel campaigning on governments and institutions – a point highlighted by Tame in her Crikey article" @deepcutnews.bsky.social

I might be back living in #Queensland this year...
So just to get my free two years in jail sorted from the start let me say loudly and clearly...

50 years into the 24,000 years needed. Not optimal.
The US built a blue print to minimise civilian casualties in war, but the Trump administration scrapped it. Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority, instead. #WarCriminals

JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Iran's IRGC vows to "pursue and kill" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
It doesn’t have to be a question of sides. But starting a war is the greatest of crimes.

Trump isn’t offering the Iranian people freedom.
Israel, who runs the show, intends to reduce Iran into a pile of rubble and dead bodies, displacing the Iranian people, just like Gaza, Westbank, Lebanon. The dominance of the Middle East is Israel’s aim.

"That’s why we say Palestine will be free from the River to the Sea for everyone. And if you have a problem with everyone being free, because you only want some people to be free, the problem is not the chant, the problem is you."

The Premier of Manitoba, Canada says what everyone is thinking… there’s no reason for the war in Iran unless its to bury the Epstein files.
Children are being killed to distract from them being raped.

Just because the orange idiot shoots himself in the foot doesn't mean we have to buy him new shoes.
Nope. His recent form indicates he wants to be remembered as Australia's Tony Blair
Weren't we silly to ever assume that our govt would represent us and our interests? Why do we even bother going through the performance of elections?
