An overwhelming majority of Jewish Israelis support Israel’s ongoing military campaign against Iran, and many believe it should continue until the fall of the Islamic Republic, according to a survey published by the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) on Wednesday. The poll found profound backing for Operation Roaring Lion among Jewish respondents, with 93 percent expressing support. However, backing was far lower among Arab citizens of Israel, at 26%, bringing overall backing across the full sample to 82%. Support for the campaign was high across the Jewish political spectrum, though it varied somewhat by ideological camp. Among Jewish respondents on the right, 97% support the operation, compared with 93% in the center and 76% on the left. The survey also indicated that many Jewish Israelis favor continuing the campaign beyond its stated military objectives. Respondents were asked whether the operation should end once Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities are eliminated, or whether it should continue until both those military goals are achieved and the regime is overthrown. Among Jewish respondents, 57% said the operation should continue until both the military objectives and the political objective of regime change are achieved, while 36% said it should end once only the military goals are accomplished.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Good.
I understand the problem and have lived beside it. Life would be much nicer without the inconvenience of homelessness.
But this is simply punching down rather than trying to find a solution to a growing problem. Disposing of the few possessions they've gathered is mindless cruelty.

Anyone who wants Britain to join the war in Iran needs their head examined They don't know what they want to achieve, why they're doing it or what the consequences might be. They are lost in the void.

"When Spain rejected Trump’s request to use their bases, he demanded that all trade be cut off with the country. Then, tellingly, he said: “We can use their bases if we want, we can just fly in and use it. Nobody’s going to tell us not to use it”."

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Muslims 'should not be forced to beg' for protection, Labor MP says Labor backbencher Ed Husic says Islamophobia should be examined as part of Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion.

"The royal commission is about both antisemitism and social cohesion, and if there is not going to be an examination of Islamophobia, that is really concerning,"

Without reading this, let me guess: it's some shit about trans people and the word latinx

Key Trump ally behind emergency elections order reveals loony conspiracy theory motivating his effort Peter Ticktin said the Trump should sign an executive order to take over voting machines, because machines in Antrim County, Michigan flipped votes from Trump to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

NEW: A conservative attorney said to be coordinating with the White House to push Donald Trump to take control of elections via executive order cited a bizarre 2020 conspiracy theory involving Michigan voting machines as the emergency that justifies the scheme.

How OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY is going so far:

🤣 🖕

👌 👎

I've been trying to get the Treasury's hidden Epstein files turned over since 2023. Last night I tried again to get them disclosed and Republicans blocked my bill to do so.

Here's what's buried in those files that Republicans don't want you to see:

-Who funded and enabled Epstein.

-Where Epstein’s payments went.

-Any connections between Epstein and organized crime.

-More information about Epstein’s patterns: how he controlled women and girls by controlling their accounts

-How Epstein’s henchmen, including those who still control his estate, assisted in his crimes.

Every Republican that stands in the way of my bill is complicit in the Trump administration's coverup for Epstein. I have no intention to go away. I'm going to keep at it until we have justice.

An AI disaster is getting ever closer Donald Trump orders federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's AI technology while simultaneously demanding the company cooperate with the government for six months.

The battle between the Pentagon and Anthropic couldn't have come at a worse time. AI safety is no longer a hypothetical problem; it's a real concern for the world we live in today. And the US Government's demand? Move faster and break more things. My cover story: www.economist.com/briefing/202...

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

Folks, I have it on good authority that Noem isn't being "fired," she's being sent to a nice farm upstate where she'll get to run around all day.

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

This is his funniest firing since Comey.

Screenshot of two NYT updates. Text: Department of Homeland Security 21 minutes ago Michael Gold 山 Less than an hour ago, Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma told reporters that he had not spoken with the president this week and that he would not engage in hypotheticals. 22 minutes ago Shawn McCreesh President Trump just announced on social media that Kristi Noem is out at the Department of Homeland Security. He wants Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her.

Trump makes his move to cut Noem via his pantomime Twitter. Also announces her replacement will be Sen. Markwayne Mullin (Loon-OK)—but Mullin says he hasn’t spoken with Trump.
