Netanyahu’s onslaught against Gaza has been genocidal, but Israelis refuse to see it. This has historical parallels—and roots in Israel’s foundation

It's important to show that an increasing number of Jews worldwide say it out loud: "not in our names" and "never again for anyone".

Many on the left proclaimed him a far-right follower of Fuentes, who’s attacked Kirk from the right.
Meanwhile, parts of the right (see 🧵⬇️) & now far left (see below) proclaim that Israel/Mossad/the Jews did it.
No ma infatti, ha solo trasformato degli insurrezionalisti violenti in eroi della patria, spacciato odio a piene mani su chiunque non la pensi come lui, trattato i migranti come bestiame da eliminare, normalizzato neo-nazisti etc etc etc
Dev'essere colpa degli antifascisti!

Far saltare il primo portone di #Evin. Un obiettivo "altamente simbolico". Peccato che i prigionieri politici non sono simboli. Qualcuno è stato ferito, altri, pare, colpiti dalle guardie nel tentativo di fuggire (può darsi che questa fuga l'abbia inventata il regime).

Colin Powell's Pottery Barn rule assumed that US leaders would try to fix and own what they broke rather than smash the rest up with Israeli partners and run away.
There is a higher chance of a Qajar restoration than any member of the Pahlavi family regaining power in Tehran

22.06.2025 09:47 — 👍 2 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Siamo entrati in un territorio molto oscuro e sconosciuto. L'unica cosa che non ha funzionato davvero dei piani di Netanyahu è l'obiettivo di oscurare il genocidio a Gaza.
Ieri c'è stata una grandissima manifestazione di protesta anche a Berlino.
Trump è ormai molto impopolare, Bibi aveva bisogno del "successo" iraniano per riguadagnare un po' di credibilità presso i cittadini. Ma entrambi hanno apertamente imboccato la rotta verso l'autocrazia. Lo Stato d'emergenza creato dalla guerra è lo strumento perfetto per accelerare questo corso.

Che il regime abbia ancora la forza di decapitare l'opposizione democratica iraniana fa comodo a chi non vuole nessuna democrazia in MO. E negli USA e in Israele? Neppure.
22.06.2025 09:11 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0"Regime change" oggi significa letteralmente sostituire un regime ostile come la Repubblica Islamica con un regime (fantoccio) filo-occidentale. Probabilmente guidato da Reza Pahlavi, il figlio dello Shah totalmente inviso all'opposizione democratica iraniana.
22.06.2025 09:05 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Penso che siamo in una situazione globale diversa - e peggiore- di quella che, con un casus belli fabbricato, portò alla guerra in Iraq e alla caduta di Saddam Hussein.🧵

22.06.2025 08:53 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Trump has gotten very unpopular, Bibi badly needed the Iranian "success" to get some credibility back. Both countries have been openly heading towards autocracy. The State of Emergency created by war makes it even more easier for them to crush down dissent and what remains of "checks&balances".
22.06.2025 08:46 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The ones who fought for "Woman Life Freedom" are now facing even more arbitrary arrests and immediate executions for being "spies". This is SO convenient for the warmongers wanting autocratic stability. Not freedom or self-determination of the people. Not in the MO. And in the US and Israel? Neither
22.06.2025 08:35 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Firstly, now "regime change" in Iran literally means "regime change": replacing the hostile Islamic Republic with a "pro-western" (puppet) regime. Probably lead by Reza Pahlavi who is despised by all the Iranian opposition fighting for freedom and democray.
22.06.2025 08:24 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I think we're in a even worser global situation than after the US and allies fabricating the casus belli to overthrow the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq. 🧵
22.06.2025 08:07 — 👍 1 🔁 1 💬 6 📌 0By deciding to bomb Iran, Trump confirmed two facts about himself: 1) he scolds Ukraine about risking WWIII out of deep deference/sympathy for Ru, not out of caution; 2) his 2-week deadlines to Pu are a stalling tactic, again revealing deference/sympathy for Ru, not caution.

Machtkonzentration ist immer Gift für Menschen.
Due to Israel's war on Iran the regime -as usual under Martial Law - acts even more unhinged. People accused of being "spies" are being arrested, tortured, executed. The internet is either shut down or completely controlled. Plus death, fear & destruction. Thanks, Bibi, the liberator.
