Thereโ€™s a strong rule thatโ€™s existed for thousands of years among sailors. They know the horrors of the sea, so as soon as an enemy surrenders, killing turns immediately to rescue. The only exception is if the sailors of the ship are still under attack. The AIPAC Empire has no honor. It is cursed.

a note: the Third Reich actually did do this, *but* they started doing it after the USAAF attacked German and Italian submarines attempting to rescue the survivors of RMS Laconia

Look up the Laconia incident

Tariq Ali:

Israelis bombing Lebanon and it now is obvious they targeted the UK base in Cyprus anmd blamed Iran. Meanwhile the crazed POTUS ordered the bombing of an Iranian naval destroyer returning from a visit to India and killed hundreds of sailors. The Third Reich never did this to Britain (and vice versa) during the second world war. Sailors in the sea were rescued. What is the barbarism emanating from the White House with Congressional approval. It is the barbarism that butchered its own native population, that took millions into slavery, that killed two million Vietnamese, using chemical weapons. It is an imperialism that does not respect human life at home or abroad. The ICE killers in Minneapolis have the same mentality as the pilots who bombed a sitting target in the Indian ocean yesterday. We should do our best to ensure that the demonstration on Saturday 7th outside the US Embassy is as large as possible.

itโ€™s not a coincidence when cultural institutions are destroyed - ensuring that a targeted people cannot build culturally, athletically, also serves the hegemonic project of labeling people less human

if you canโ€™t make art, canโ€™t do sports, then maybe we really *are* a superior nation/people to you

'Insane': JD Vance hammered online after threatening World Cup soccer fans www.rawstory.com/jd-vance-267... I would not come to the US for the games. Definitely there will be visitors picked up by ICE, you can count on it. And you will be put in detention and not get to see the games live anyway.

TEHRAN (Tasnim) โ€“ A 12,000-seat indoor arena within Tehranโ€™s Azadi Sports Complex was destroyed in a US-Israeli airstrike today, marking the latest in a series of criminal attacks targeting Iranian infrastructure.
The strike also leveled dormitories and a newly constructed building belonging to the Cycling Federation, while damaging windows in adjacent facilities, including the complexโ€™s swimming pool.

Alireza Sohrabian, president of Iranโ€™s Rowing Federation, condemned the attack as a breach of the Red Cross charter, which prohibits the targeting of sports, educational, and healthcare facilities during conflict.

The US/Israel Epstein Empire have extended their athleticide to Tehran, destroying the national indoor 12,000-Seat Azadi Stadium Hall.

Monstrous.

US President Donald Trump says he doesnโ€™t care if Iran participates in the World Cup or not.

โ€œI think Iran is a very badly defeated country. Theyโ€™re running on fumes,โ€ Trump told the American news site Politico on Tuesday.

The US and Israel launched attacks on Iran on Saturday that have killed at least 1,045 people, including its Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and sparked a regional conflict that has spread to 12 countries.

Tehran responded by launching waves of missiles and drones at Israel and towards several military bases in the Middle East where US forces operate.

Following the escalations, Iranโ€™s spot at the World Cup has come under question, and officials from the Iranian football federation and FIFA have been noncommittal on the worldโ€™s 20th-ranked football nationโ€™s participation.

โ€œAfter this attack, we cannot be expected to look forward to the World Cup with hope,โ€ Mehdi Taj, president of the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI), told local sports portal Varzesh3 on Sunday.

So Trump says he doesn't care if Iran participates in the World Cup and the head of the Iranian FA said, "After this attack, we cannot be expected to look forward to the World Cup with hope."

Everything about this absolutely stinks. The *aggressor* should be banned, not the victim.

A man stands with two children in front of a white tarp shelter, possibly a refugee camp. The man wears a black hoodie and black pants. One child is held, and the other stands. The ground is dirt and debris.
