Latest attacks in Lebanon leave nearly 400 dead as two Israeli soldiers killed

Maybe the most impressive headline distortionism I've ever seen

Now as ever, to understand Israeli operations, Jasbir Puar's The Right to Maim is absolutely crucial, and has been so grimly prescient.

NATO is not a "defense" alliance. It is a platform for the projection of US imperial power into Asia and Africa. This is fundamentally *not* in the interests of the European people, not in the interests of the rest of the world, and should not be tolerated.

But he should go further. Spain, and all other sane European governments, should shut down the US military bases altogether, and withdraw from NATO.

Sanchez is correct in refusing to allow the US to use joint military bases to carry out their war crimes against the people of Iran. He demonstrates real spine here, and models leadership to the rest of Europe.

*should*
should never forgive us, and not just Iran

O God, in Ramadan, bring me closer to You in a way that changes my heart, corrects my intentions, and makes me emerge from this month a purer person in spirit and more sincere in faith.

The horror of nonstop coverage of deceased U.S. military personnel as their work - invading a sovereign nation, killing families, destroying lives - is buried under "they were such nice guys."

I feel sick to my stomach.

WHY IS HE NOT IN JAIL?

Coady's sister said, "He was supposed to be 21 on May 5. He was just a baby."

Prayers for Fatima Yazdan and Isra Farhizadeh who were little more than babies -- 7 year olds who didn't sign up for war for honor or income. They simply went to school and US military personnel bombed them to bits.

Will the little girls, the families that were killed in Iran be remembered for their love of their families, their hobbies, their characters? Or will Americans now learn to hate Iranians even more in the memory of these military personnel?

Members of the military that is continuing to massacre children and families in this -- as being "the kindest," "close to his family," and "died defending our country."

Americans know what their military is DOING--they believe it has the right to do it. And that it's an honorable living doing it.

Why won't someone cast him in a war movie so he can get his rocks off that way

They want to rule a region of rubble and the US is, at best, perfectly fine with this albeit not motivated by it and at worst is actively in agreement.
