The Biden team knew all along that Israel was committing war crimes. Everything they did, they did to enable Israel to continue those crimes. They put Israel before America, before the law, and before all the values they professed to uphold. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

I argue in @RStatecraft that Trump should treat GCC states' rejection of "Iran is the epicenter of regional instability" as an opportunity to retire policies that have kept the US entangled in a region that no longer is vital to US national security. responsiblestatecraft.org/busaidi-isra...

Israeli soldiers harass a little Palestinian girl and take her bicycle. If soldiers were bullying a child like this in any other country, half of Washington would be calling for military intervention to stop it. But when Israel does it, the US funds it.

Spoke to the Groong Podcast on whether Israel will strike Iran again, given Trump's Gaza plan and the shift in the region - and among MAGA - against Israel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn0U...

This will become increasingly common, I am sure. If you committed war crimes in Lebanon and Gaza, justice will eventually find you. An Israeli who fought in Gaza & Lebanon was detained in Prague and denied entry after France issued a 'criminal alert' www.ynetnews.com/article/r1ft...

'Germany Is Back' – and That Should Scare Us All By @derJamesJackson In its crackdown on pro-Palestine speech, Germany has normalized racism and state violence in a way that goes beyond any conflict abroad... zeteo.com/p/germany-pr...

So Israel breaks the ceasefire, and after having killed dozens, including children, declares that the ceasefire is back on. Under no definition of a ceasefire is this permissible. As I said at the outset: It will only work if Trump SUSTAINS pressure on Israel. He isn't.

Oh, how times have changed: When Ilhan Omar said "It's all about the Benjamins" all hell broke loose. Now, major voices on all sides say it openly. Here's @ivehaditpodcast : "When you're bought and paid for by AIPAC, you're not authentic. You're Benjamin Netanyahu's bitch."

OMG! Jewish-American doctor recounts how Israeli soldiers took two Palestinian children, tied their hands behind their backs, and buried them alive. "Their cries being muffled by the dirt as it was poured upon them while they were being buried alive." These were children!

Israel killed their parents. Destroyed their homes. Killed their siblings. It took their feet, sometimes their hands, and even their eyes. But it could never kill their spirits. These Gaza children are the survivors of a genocide.

Some in Europe hope that a mere shaky ceasefire in Gaza should enable Europe to go back to business as usual with Israel (not that they really abandoned business as usual in the first place...) Galatasaray soccer fans disagree...

Told @esaagar & @krystalball that it remains unclear whether Trump's openness to talks with Iran is about real diplomacy (ie a workable give-and-take) or whether he is only looking to discuss the terms of Iran's capitulation (which won't work). www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxLy...

Witkoff mentions Netanyahu and the Israeli crowd won't stop booing. If only Western media had reported that many Israelis blame the prolonged suffering of the hostages on Netanyahu. Instead, they have uncritically parroted the false line that Netanyahu continued the war TO GET THE HOSTAGES HOME.

This is why those banking on the Israeli "opposition" convince very few... Yair Lapid, head of Israel's opposition: "Those who demonstrated against Israel in London, Rome, Paris... were deceived by propaganda... The truth is, there was no genocide, no intentional starvation."

Told @abc that for Trump's plan to work, he has to break with the pattern of the past and SUSTAIN pressure on Israel. We cannot wait to see if Israel will uphold its end of the deal - Trump needs to use US leverage to make sure that they do. But will he? abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

“The trigger was this massive overreach by the Israelis by attacking Qatar and other U.S. partners in the region,” Parsi said. The White House “decided that they needed to take some sort of initiative — they needed to stop Netanyahu.” theintercept.com/2025/10/11/q...

Spoke at length on @cspan about Trump's Gaza plan, why it happened, why now, what it will take for it to endure, and why Trump finally chose to exert pressure on Israel. www.c-span.org/program/wash...

A Pew survey last week reported that 59% now hold a negative view of Israel, while 39% believe it is “going too far” in Gaza – compared with 31% a year ago, and 27% who thought this just two months after the war started. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I write in @RStatecraft that an overlooked aspect of why Trump decided to push for a Gaza deal is that Israel was increasingly becoming a political burden. Israel’s standing has been tanking among America Firsters. responsiblestatecraft.org/trump-gaza-d...

Told @BeckyCNN that it would be a disaster if Trump lets Israel reduce his deal to just a ceasefire and not the end of the war that he has touted it as. Netanyahu made sure the previous deal never reached Phase II, will Trump allow him to do so again?

John Mearsheimer and I spoke on a panel hosted by the "Community Alliance 4 Peace" about Israel, Gaza & Trump. I think you'll enjoy the full conversation, but this 15-minute exchange between John and me around the 38th minute seems to have gotten the most attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQq4...

If you suddenly Chris Pratt or Steph Curry suddenly start to spew brainless pro-Israel talking points on Social media, don't be too alarmed. Here's what likely happened... Israel wants to hire Pratt and Curry to target Evangelical churches for support in a new $3.2M effort

WOW! New Report: The US has paid $21.7 billion (!!) since Oct 7 to help fuel Israel's slaughter in Gaza! @QuincyInst's @WilliamHartung in a new report co-published with @costofwar: responsiblestatecraft.org/us-aid-israe...

.@GretaThunberg tells Swedish media that Israel subjected her and others on the flotilla to "extreme physical abuse and torture." www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/W0...

Netanyahu is building a narrative that Israel starting war with Iran and dragging the US into it, is ultimately aimed at defending the US itself... The man who pushed for the Iraq war now claims that Iran will soon pose a nuclear threat to Miami, NY, Boston etc...

This is what Greta Thunberg said as she arrived in Greece after being illegally detained by Israel. Fifty years ago, this speech would have been given by Sweden's Prime Minister Olof Palme. Today, the Swedish government is effectively on the side of Israel's occupation and genocide.

Plenty of interesting points were made in @AmitavAcharya, Heather Hurlburt, Richard Ponzio & my discussion about the future world order at @StimsonCenter. Amitav's key point about why Global Civilization will survive the decline of the West was 🔥🔥🔥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY2d...

This was Amsterdam today, an estimated 250,000 people protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza. Israel is moving - seemingly deliberately - toward pariahhood at an unprecedented pace. Blind "support" for Israel is ensuring this.

Van Jones is giving us a preview of the campaign Bari Weiss and Oracle will run to justify their coming censorship of CNN, CBS News, and TikTok. >>

"Greece and Cyprus extended a vital hand of support to Israel during its recent conflict with Iran. As an op-ed in Jerusalem Post aptly noted, “in moments of crisis, Israel’s strongest allies in the Eastern Mediterranean have stepped up—not only with words, but with action” dayan.org/content/how-...

We always knew that Israel played a key role in manipulating public opinion in the Iranian Diaspora through social media in favor of Reza Pahlavi during the Mahsa Amini protests. @citizenlab and @Haaretz can now reveal what amounts to smoking gun evidence. citizenlab.ca/2025/10/ai-e...

Trump just tweeted that "Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza." In the past, Trump has demonstrated the ability to press Netanyahu into getting what he wants. What he hasn't shown yet is the ability to SUSTAIN that pressure. Trump must show that now.

The fear is gone! Supporters of Israel's genocide are increasingly failing to intimidate people into silence. Here's football legend Pep Guardiola calling on the people of Barcelona to flood the streets tomorrow at noon to demand an end to the genocide. Expect a sea of people!

HOLY SMOKES! Over 2 million people across Italy marched against Israel's genocide in Gaza! The more Israel kills, slaughters, and genocides, the more it loses.

MUST READ! @nick_clevelands broke the story on how Israel pays social media influencers $7,000 per pro-Israel post. He now reveals that the paid influencers are violating US law if they do not register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). responsiblestatecraft.org/israel-influ...

I had a fantastic conversation with @thantmyintu about his new book about his grandfather. The book - Peacemaker: U Thant and the Forgotten Quest for a Just World - is a fantastic read and reveals the key role U Thant played in resolving the Cuban Missile Crisis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYXx...

I have to admit: That the noble Italian people would be on the frontlines of preventing Israel's genocide in Gaza - putting much of Northern Europe to shame - was not on my bingo card. Rome is rising once more, but now as a moral superpower.

In these dark, genocidal times, this little goalkeeper will bring many smiles to your face.

Much of the world will soon become inaccessible to Israelis who partook in the Gaza genocide. Here's law expert Chris Sidoti, arguing that IDF soldiers who had “any involvement" in Gaza should be treated as “suspects" - investigated and prosecuted - if they come to Australia.

That Netanyahu was forced to apologize to the Emir of Qatar by phone from the White House with Trump in the room shows the leverage that the US has over Israel when it chooses to. Too often it chooses otherwise. It could've chosen not to support the genocide in the first place

HORRIBLE! Israel uses a quadcopter to assassinate a Palestinian doctor while he's working inside the hospital. The drone shoots him in the head from outside the window of the hospital. This is not collateral damage - Israel is literally assassinating Gaza doctors while they work. >>

Using a powerful statistical technique called the synthetic control method, two economists show that the decimation of Iran's middle class - the engine for social change and moderation - was primarily caused by Western sanctions and not the chronic mismanagement of the Iranian gov itself. >>

Israel is using some of America's most advanced bombs on children hiding in tents. Israel's leadership and much of its public assert that no child in Gaza is innocent. Including this little angel, who was born after Oct 7...

This terrified girl in Gaza is too young to know that we had the power to stop the bombs falling on her family, but we chose not to. She doesn't know of our profound and inescapable complicity. But we do.

Let's take a moment to let the momentous significance of this sink in. Both Italy and Spain are sending warships to protect a flotilla of peace and aid workers FROM LIKELY ATTACKS BY ISRAEL. European states have to use their militaries to protect their citizens from Israel.

According to Israeli press, Israel was spared expulsion from UEFA thanks to pressure by US diplomats on the organization that the US itself is not a member of. There is no universe in which this qualifies as America First. www.israelhayom.com/2025/09/23/i...

Qatar’s Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani explains why Israel is a pariah state: "They visit our country and plot to attack it. They negotiate with delegations and plot to assassinate the members of the negotiation teams. Is this not the definition of a rogue government?"

Australian doctor in Gaza: "[The Israelis] are trying all types of weapons on these people... They bomb families at the beach, so families with the kids, moms, dads, aunties & uncles, they all arrive in pieces. And you don't know whose hand is this and whose leg is this. It's kind of a horror movie"

The President of Portugal appears to be mocking the US for its faux strategy to secure a ceasefire in Gaza, since it clearly is designed to fail and ensure ongoing fighting. “We waited and waited waited for the intervention of the most powerful in the world. Did we have a ceasefire?“

It is not just the people on the streets in Italy who are standing up against Israel's genocide in Gaza. According to Italian journalist @paolomossetti, even the apolitical host of a popular cooking show on public TV expressed her support for the protesters on air today. >>
