Craven β€œspent years using his platform to attack the very institutions and people he is now supposed to be assessing impartially.”

But this was never about impartial assessment.
It's another Zionist-inspired, government-funded move to suppress any criticism of the genocidal Israel regime. #auspol

As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear:

Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes.

Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

After evacuation orders for the huge swathe of territory south of the Litani River in sth Leb (i.e. from Israeli border about 30km north) & Beirut’s southern suburbs, home to 100s of 1000s, Israel orders residents of several towns in Bekaa Valley to leave their homes #Lebanon

Once upon a time in Dahiyeh: Israel’s destruction of Lebanon’s communities Israeli attacks on Dahiyeh this time clearly aim to tear apart the communities living there, residents and experts say.

Smotrich just said Dahiyeh will soon look like Khan Younis.

Today the Israelis ordered the evacuation of the southern suburbs of Beirut. This included a couple Palestinian refugee camps. People who were displaced during the Nakba or in 67, settled in Beirut and now their grand/great grandchildren are once again displaced.

Israel is extensively bombing the suburban area of Dahiya, south of Beirut. This is the namesake of the 'Dahiya Doctrine', a strategy whereby the IDF targets civilians and civilian infrastructure to put political pressure on governments they don't like. It's literally the definition of a war crime.

"The Israeli military also used automated systems, such as β€œWhere’s Daddy,” which tracked targeted individuals and carried out bombings after they entered their family’s residences."

In Gaza, Israel and Biden normalized war crimes beyond anything we have seen before.

And now, Israel and Trump are using that model against Iranian civilians.

And *that*, regardless of legality (I'm pretty sure it's illegal, as is the US attack on Iran), is why Iran has attacked what it has

How people in the Gulf are reacting to the Iran war Missiles and drones have rained down on cities across the Gulf since the start of the conflict in the Middle East.

Netanyahu Finally Found a President Willing to Buy Into His Iran Dream The only way for the Israeli prime minister to redeem himself after October 7, 2023, was to turn that calamity into a region-altering strategic triumph. For that he crucially needed the U.S.

🚨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!🚨

NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space.

The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled!

Trump has now explicitly affirmed the right to choose or veto leaders in Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, Honduras and Argentina, and implicitly Brazil and various European countries.

This is a direct violation of sovereignty and self-determination, which are bedrock foundations of any international order.

Though he will in all likelihood achieve some short-term gains, in the medium and long term, Trump is impoverishing the US in every meaningful measure of power: political, economic and ideological.

The legitimacy of US power matters, but it already may be too late to save it.

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

U.S. forces likely bombed an Iranian elementary school on Feb. 28 during an operation targeting a nearby military base, a New York Times analysis suggests. It is the deadliest known episode of civilian casualties since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran β€” and no side has yet taken responsibility.
