You pointed out to Iran and US fatwas. What is the Israeli fatwa?

09.03.2026 19:42 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Fatwas issued by both sides of the war on Iran. Here’s US military fatwa:
β€œIran War is β€˜part of God’s divine plan’ to usher in the return of Jesus Christ.” The organization reported over 200 calls from more than 50 military installations reporting similar remarks from U.S. military commanders.”

Yes, maybe but Netanyahu needed trump in power first so there's that or you are arguing that the democratic response would've have been identical (not an outlandish argument at all).

yes, it's another angle -- there are many but without putin's efforts trump wouldn't have happened. and without trump bibi wouldn't be able to attack Iran

Putin is helping Iran.

Zelenskyy is helping us.

Trump does not seem to understand or is ignoring these basic facts.

Hope someone on his team will help the president correct this policy position and...

Thank Zelenskyy.
Arm Ukraine.
Sanction Putin.

There Have Been No Approvals for New Transit Projects in the First Year of the Current Trump Administration

There Have Been No Approvals for New Transit Projects in the First Year of the Current Trump Administration

For the 1st time in the 1st year of a presidential administration since at least 1993, under Trump 2, the Federal Transit Administration signed 0 new contracts for major transit projects, like subways or light rail.

The US is facing a crisis of rail transit investment: www.urban.org/urban-wire/r...

It's unsurprising that the Nazis waged a relentless war on creativity, especially the modern and the avant-garde, in everything from architecture and design to painting.
Hitler himself was a failed painter whose work was most notably deficient in his inability to realistically capture human subjects. As Charlie English writes in his account of the Nazi war on art,
In this sense, Hitler's painting supports Arendt's theory of National Socialism-that it was defined by its banality and lack of empathy. The Nazis relied on the ability of people not to imagine themselves in someone else's shoes.
The lack of a connection was very much the point.
There is a right-wing war on empathy that observers like Bradley_ Onishi have been cataloguing for months and that was most recently documented by Hillary_ Clinton for The Atlantic. But I don't believe you can decouple this from the war on art and artists.

I share the belief that the arts are central to the cause of human freedom. This isn't only because of the expansive potential of the imagination. It's also because of the well of universal feeling and experience from which art draws in order to evoke something in its audience. And this experience pulls usβ€”as listeners, viewers, observers, whether the mediumβ€”into a cycle of mutual edification. Art helps us to know one another better and to know ourselves more honestly. And it helps us to process our awe and terror at the world and our existence. It's why those with authoritarian impulses always want to control it, to limit what it shows us, and to silence its practitioners. What they fear most is the plain truth of being human.

The war on empathy and the war on the arts are part of the same project.

Shtilerman added the company's ballistic missile will be an ATACMS equivalent with a larger warhead at 2.5 times lower cost. The FP-9 at 850km range begins trials early summer and will strike targets with impact speed exceeding 1,000 m/s. FP-7 at 300km range enters combat before summer. #Ukraine
