Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane.

WSJ: The likelihood of Iran closing the strait was discussed, Gen Caine predicted it, and Trump decided “Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait — and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it.”

Why would what one Jewish person does overseas have anything to do with Jews anywhere. Donald blew up almost 160 little girls. So does that mean any iranian has the right to kill you for that?

Katie Porter apparently is not doing well in her bid to become California’s next governor.

I feel badly for her: when she left Congress she was one post office naming shy of winning the Bernard Sanders congressional lifetime achievement award

Iran’s 'oil lifeline’ has been left untouched in the conflict. What happens if it's seized? Analysts say any attempt to attack or seize Iran’s strategic oil hub is likely to be fraught with risk.

Key quote from this article:

Nonetheless, taking the small island would be no mean feat, Galgano said. “It would involve moving a considerable number of ground combat troops into the region … I estimate about 5,000 to take and hold the island.”

Trump says U.S. 'obliterated' military targets on Iran's Kharg Island but didn't 'wipe out' oil infrastructure President Trump said in a Truth Social post that he directed U.S. Central Command to execute a bombing raid that "obliterated" military targets on Kharg Island.

If you've not heard, there's 5,000 people on amphibious ships in play for the war. My guess? There will be an amphibious landing on Kharg Island in the near future. That's why Trump ordered the military facilities destroyed before doing so.

Headline: "Temple Israel synagogue attacker lost family from Israeli airstrike"

Me: Jews and Israelis lost family and friends on October 7, 2023 in some of the brutal ways one can imagine, yet I don't see them wanting to attack mosques.

Personal grief is NO excuse to commit terrorist acts.

Rest in peace, Ernie Anastos. Thanks for the many years of excellent public service and journalism and inspiring so many to be in the business of helping people. I was one of the many who enjoyed watching you on the TV every night. You will be greatly missed.

Politico Europe: Iran had not posed a “direct threat” to Europe or the United States before the attacks by the U.S. and Israel earlier this month, Poland’s Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Radosław Sikorski said.

Blaming Bibi for a war that Trump willfully chose to start is stupid.

Even Trump said no to Bibi twice in killing Khamenei the Elder, but Bibi went ahead and did so anyway, so no, Israel doesn't control the U.S. Israel controls Israel.

There is absolutely no evidence to this claim at all. This war is a war of choice for Trump to engage in for his own distractions away from not only the Epstein files, but for fulfilling the machinations of the pro-war hawks in the GOP who want to see the Iranian regime blown to hell.

I strongly condemn the attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan. NO JEW, and I do mean NO JEW, should be scared, worried, fearful and otherwise hesitant to practice their faith.

May we stand up to Jew hatred whenever and wherever we can.

You're more concerned by the only democracy in the Middle East having nuclear weapons than a theocratic regime having the same?

Also, what the fuck do you think "FrEe PaLeStInE fRoM tHe ZiOnIsTs" is? It's genocide.

Stop being stupid and think!

Only the nonexistent Gaza genocide matters to these lame brained liars and losers. If they really cared about genocide, they'd condemn the genocide that occurred on October 7 by Hamas and demand Hamas surrender, disarm and abdicate power.

Anyone who is fixated on blaming Bibi and Israel for Trump's war of choice is stupid and should not be taken seriously.
