Craven βspent years using his platform to attack the very institutions and people he is now supposed to be assessing impartially.β
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.
Beirut's southern suburbs today.
The extensive damage caused by the Israeli raid on Abdul Nour Street in Haret Hreik, Lebanon
"Journalist Hussein Hijazi was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon...
The Israeli attack so far led to the deaths of more than 123 Lebanese, including children, in addition to more than 600 people wounded..."

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) & Beirutβs southern suburbs, home to 100s of 1000s, Israel orders residents of several towns in Bekaa Valley to leave their homes #Lebanon
βWe are trapped between the regime that is killing us with machine guns, and a foreign power has likely decided that we are collateral damage.β
Smotrich just said Dahiyeh will soon look like Khan Younis.
I wrote about Dahiyeh in 2024 and Israelβs domicide/urbicide

Western powers have been relying on minorities traumatized by genocide to serve as their muscle in this area since at least the Assyrian Levies. My fiance wrote her Master's Thesis on this: repository.digital.georgetown.edu/handle/10822...
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 βWhereβs Daddy,β which tracked targeted individuals and carried out bombings after they entered their familyβs 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.
At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says

Qatar warns war will force Gulf to stop energy exports within weeks ft.trib.al/JQxKy5e
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

Very dystopian timing. Iβve been working on this since November.
Thanks @thedialmag.bsky.social
I wrote this about the different conversations happening in the Gulf about the ongoing war.
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.

π¨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!π¨
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.
It seems that Australia finds itself yoked to America's actions whether the government likes it or not.
He's the nephew of the AG in the NT. He got home detention for killing a man with his car on purpose then bragging about it and seriously injuring another man. They were both Aboriginal and it was a hate crime.
After six days of US-Israeli attacks on Iran, the conflict is escalating as regional tensions rise.
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.
Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.
