This whole regime change and ish continues to make me laugh.
Israel is commiting war crimes in Gaza and has slaughtered thousands of innocent women and children. They've killed hundreds in Iran, USA killed thousands and thousands of innocent folks in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Reintroduced the slave trade in Libya. But now we are suppose to believe this will be a calm exchange of regime change
Iranians ain't that stupid
Iranians don't want slaves sold on the streets in broad daylight (Libya), their country ran by warlords (Afghanistan), or destroyed by a sectarian civil war (Iraq).

That, and the fact that racist Ukrainians were throwing pregnant African mothers off trains to leave more room for whites or stranding black students in the cold wilderness near the Polish border.
UN calls on Israel to stop killing Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza
The UN has called on Israel to cease attacks on Palestinians waiting for food aid in Gaza, which have become more frequent and more lethal in the last several days.
“The UN Human Rights office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory calls on the Israeli Defence Forces to immediately cease its use of lethal force around food distribution points in Gaza, following repeated instances of shooting and killing of Palestinians seeking to access food there,” the office said in a social media post.
On Tuesday, at least 70 people were killed and hundreds wounded when Israeli tanks, machine guns and drones opened fire on a crowd waiting for aid near Khan Younis.
At least 38 people were killed in similar incidents on Monday, mostly in the area near Rafah in southern Gaza.
Already videos of Israelis pushing non Israelis out of shelters. Wonder what they have in common
One of the biggest failures of that war in 1948 was how poor the cooperation was between Arab nations, mainly because they were more concerned with grabbing as much land for themselves as possible. They all attacked at the same time, but they weren't really working together.
It's only fair to acknowledge that these states became puppet states trying to play colonizer games and got burned.
They literally invited the British to come overthrow their empire and draw new white man borders. They asked them cacs to fukk their shyt up.
All these countries are evil, those Arabs were colonizers before they got colonized, it's almost like they're laying in the bed they made.

At least you now acknowledge that Arab states did coordinate wars against Israel, even if poorly.
The Ottoman Empire was not "their" empire. It was ruled from Constantinople by a Turkish speaking elite.

Thank you for this. We here in the US have little understanding of what goes on outside of our borders. At one point Shia and Sunni Muslims were killing each other in the hundreds of thousands after the fall of saddam

Several Republican lawmakers insisted that they are trusting President Donald Trump to “do the right thing” in his handling of the Israel-Iran conflict — but there are divisions in the GOP over whether the United States should be involved.
Some have argued that Iran’s nuclear capabilities pose a threat to the United States, but others disagree. Earlier, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a staunch supporter of taking an aggressive approach against Iran, said he spoke with a “very focused, very calm” Trump last night, who offered no timeframe for any offensive action. Meanwhile, Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett has called for restraint and said he wants to see “very little” US involvement.
Two lawmakers have introduced War Powers Resolutions that would formally limit Trump’s power to deploy the military without Congress’ specific consent. Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine is leading the push in the Senate, while Republican Rep. Thomas Massie taking lead on the House measure.

Here’s what some lawmakers are saying:
- House Speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News that Trump “is making the right decisions” on Iran. “He is fully within his authority to act in that manner. And that’s what the commander in chief is supposed to do,” Johnson said. “We have to stand by our ally Israel. They’re our closest ally and friend.”
- Sen. Rick Scott of Florida also said he has confidence Trump will do the right thing. “We watched what he did his first four years. He’s the one for the war.”
- Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas, when asked if Congress needs to weigh in to authorize any actions in Iran, said, “I think that things are moving so quickly it’s not always easy for Congress to have a big input.” He said he had not spoken to Trump about Iran yet specifically, but said the president has been calling lawmakers in both chambers.
- Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana acknowledged he would want Congress to have a say but argued it doesn’t move efficiently enough. Still, he said: “American foreign policy is always a balance between values and interests. The value here is obvious to everyone — Iran cannot have a bomb. It’s just unthinkable, and I support the president unconditionally on that.”
- Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina said he thinks “it is time for regime change, and I believe that this president should be given a fair amount of leeway to affect that,” adding that he’s behind Trump “100%.”
- However, Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, who spoke to Trump yesterday about Iran, warned against the US taking offensive action. He said he “would not” be comfortable with the US carrying out strikes and warned of “huge conflict in the region,” referencing recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, if the US gets involved militarily.
- Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said it was “obviously a very, very, very dynamic situation” in Iran, and “we’re all watching with concern.” She said she wouldn’t judge Trump’s performance in handling the conflict, “other than to note that it is very, very difficult and very tenuous right now.”
The UN is a joke
