What about disarming Israel for committing genocide?

The US government has been using taxpayer money to fund and prop up these tech companies (Musk. Thiel, etc...) through subsidies, grants and government contracts. Treasonous lawmakers have basically been funding the destruction of American democracy while enriching themselves.

Typical but of both sides-ing, here. The Iranians reclosed the Strait in direct response to Israel's attack on Lebanon. That the ceasefire included Lebanon was stated at the time by the Pakistanis.

".... Joining us to excuse war crimes is...."

More accuracy in this minute of comedy than a week's worth of #r4today. youtube.com/shorts/SU7n3...

If they can murder people in Gaza, in Venezuela, in the West Bank, in Cuba, in Iran, in Lebanon. And nobody does anything. They can murder anyone, anywhere and nobody will do anything.

There is no McTry.

The fact is that evangelicals are salivating for the end of times. This is why we are seeing this religious rhetoric and “kill a civilisation” talk. It was all the wacko “Christians” that left Europe for America. And wacko Christianity ever since. moderndiplomacy.eu/2026/04/08/e...

Well, let's hope Trump kills us all before this gets worse. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Zack Polanski suggesting the Greens could win today's Cliftonville by-election in Kent which was called after the Reform incumbent was sent to prison for coercive and controlling behaviour. Says election is "on a knife edge"

From a post: “Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

By 2060, China will only be using fossil fuels for 9% of its electricity generation. 50% of total generation will be solar, 30% will be wind. That means China is not only killing big oil but also big coal. Renewables are currently outpacing demand growth so they will be retiring old plants from now

Cooper boasts about the role Britain played in drawing up maritime laws to establish freedom of navigation & says we need that restored in the strait of Hormuz. Where was your outrage when Israel was kidnapping British citizens & seizing boats in intl waters?

Yvette Cooper: "We were not drawn into offensive action in this conflict" US bombers were taking off from the UK to bomb Iran & UK military forces have been actively engaged in blocking Iranian retaliation. Cooper wants us to believe none of that is offensive action.

"The French foreign minister has condemned these 'unacceptable Israeli strikes' on Lebanon. What is the UKs position?" Does the UK foreign secretary take this opportunity to also condemn Israels attacks? Of course not. But she is extremely concerned!

And what of Israel’s armourer, Nick? When will the U.S. tell Israel to stop murdering civilians in Gaza, Iran and Lebanon? Over 1.2 million Lebanese ppl have been forcibly displaced by the US & Israeli military. Israel's savagery across the region would be impossible without U.S. backing. #r4today

BBC News framing (R4@6): Iran may be more likely to develop nukes now it has an 'even more paranoid leadership'. Years of assassinations, attacked twice +during negotiations+ in under 12 months, insurrectionists armed by the US and Israel, threatened with genocide. And they're 'paranoid'?

Iran recloses the Strait as Iran says the ceasefire applies to Lebanon or not at all. #bbcpm www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Sarah Jones says the govts priority is to turn the ceasefire into a lasting peace. The US threatened to wipe out an entire civilisation. I'd say getting a lasting peace means dealing with the US, right? Maybe you could start by kicking US forces out of our country.

Surely, Hegseth knows he's fired. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Please America, save us from those crazy theocrats in... Iran. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

Good news! Iran has rebuilt 20% of its air defence systems since four weeks ago. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

How many US troops does Pete Hegseth think are in Iran right now? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

There'll be a lot of talk today about how the US is 'worse off' since before its war. That's true, but let's remember who's really worse off: every Israeli and Iranian civilian who's lost somebody, the family of every solder who's not coming home, and 170 blameless Iranian schoolgirls.

If we wake up and find Trump unleashed devastation, Labour’s silence will be absolutely damning. If Trump has beyond hopefully de-escalated, it’s still damning. In the face of genocide, what exactly is the point of the silent UK Prime Minister?

JUST IN: 🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israeli military official says they are still attacking Iran.

Iran's statement, which is obviously calmer and more lucid than Trump's blathering. #r4today

Even if the US stops attacking Iran, that doesn't guarantee that Israel won't do everything it can to undermine the ceasefire. Yesterday, Israel even bombed a synagogue in Tehran. #r4today

I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.

The US President threatens to exterminate the Persian civilisation, with the implication he might use nuclear weapons. BBC Radio 4 News leads with Kanye West.

This should always have been the end of it.

It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people. We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government. This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

The interviewee can't quite bring himself to say Trump is mad even though he clearly wants to. #bbcpm

"The President has just threatened to murder 90 million people, including 20 million children. Let's look at the markets." #bbcpm

Even if the US walks away from its aggression against Iran, Israel will not. The Greater Israel project needs to be stopped, and the Israeli stranglehold on the US government has to end. #bbcpm

It should be obvious now to everyone that Donald Trump is not mentally fit for his office. His Truth Social threat is itself a crime under international law. Already, if he were tried under the principles established at Nuremberg, he would be hanged. #bbcpm

The US leadership is utterly incoherent. Is this Vance supporting Trump's threat of genocide or distancing himself from it?

There are twenty million children in Iran. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Donald Trump is now threatening literal genocide against Iran The American government needs to remove this deranged fool from power today. The US military should cease to obey his orders. Other major power should intervene to stop this insanity. www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/l...

Live on Sky News right now. JD Vance extolling the virtues of 'sustained diplomacy' over 'politicians' chest beating'. But he's talking about Ukraine.

Citing the crimes of the Iranian govt is no longer a justification for US and Israeli aggression (if it ever was). This is clearly a war on the Iranian people and all decent people should wish for the US and Israel to be defeated. #r4today

The 25th Amendment allows the Cabinet to declare a president unable to perform the duties of office.

Looks like there's a higher ethical bar for playing the Wireless Festival than there is to get a state visit from the King of England.
