“In a recent episode of Piers Morgan’s show, the brilliant libertarian foreign policy expert Scott Horton dropped a bombshell about Israel’s nuclear doctrine.
‘Israel has threatened to nuke London and Paris and Berlin, and Rome,’ Horton said, adding, ‘it’s called the Samson Option … they have threatened that if the Western states abandon Israel to be overrun, they’ll nuke us too’.”

The administration calls it a "little detour." One hundred seventy-four civilians dead. Twenty-five billion dollars. Zero congressional votes. When the past RNC chair calls it war crimes, you're not reading partisan screed—you're reading a smoke alarm. The land is keeping score. It always has.

“The Surcharge Tax Americans Pay to Finance Israel-first Wars”
by Jamie Kanj in Palestine Chronicle
@palestine@fedibird.com
@Palestine@masto.ai
@palestine@lemmy.ml
@iran
“Since early March 2026, the average American household has been spending 50 percent more to fill their tank than just one month earlier. The Trump administration and its Israel-first ideologues blamed market forces for the spike, framing it as short-term pain for long-term gain. What they will not say, what they are never permitted to say in Washington, is that Americans have been living the ‘pain’ of the Israeli oil surcharge tax for more than half a century. The bill keeps growing, but no longer only financially. The US is also paying with something harder to rebuild than a budget, its moral standing in the world”

“All along, this was precisely the scenario that Hezbollah had hoped for, to rope the Israelis in on the ground, in order to eventually inflict enormous losses on them and fulfill the pledge of its former leader, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah that the south will become a graveyard for the invading army and that they will eventually have no tanks left”

by Robert Inlakesh in The Palestine Chronicle
@palestine@fedibird.com
@Palestine@masto.ai
@palestine@lemmy.ml
@iran
“Hezbollah’s asymmetric warfare is already causing enormous strain on the some 6 Israeli divisions deployed to fight against Lebanon. Just as they were in Gaza, the Israelis are not doing much beyond demolishing civilian infrastructure, proving so risk-averse as to fear entering a fight in which they actually seek to degrade Hezbollah in any significant way. They may have gotten away with this in Gaza, but in South Lebanon, they are dealing with a much more powerful opponent and a more difficult terrain”
