Unlike his English tweet simply saying thanks, Netanyahu reveals in Hebrew that Trump agreed to designate Iran’s IRGC as a terrorist organization ”as another important request of mine”.

In other words, Trump gets dangerous policy directives from Netanyahu
Donald Trump is taking directives from a foreign power that raises the likelihood of war – or in beltway parlance, “threatens U.S. national security” – but because it’s not Russia, this obvious collusion will be ignored #Israelgate
The NYT chooses to ignore the key part of Netanyahu’s tweet taking credit for the idea of designating IRGC as FTO, instead opting for language about how warmongering keeps the world safe. nytimes.com/2019/04/08/us/…

Important new @ceprdc study: US sanctions killed 40,000 Venezuelans between 2017-2018 and the sanctions announced in January will kill tens of thousands more if they are not reversed. cepr.net/press-center/p…
"The sanctions reduced the public’s caloric intake, increased disease and mortality (for both adults and infants), and displaced millions of Venezuelans who fled the country as a result of the worsening economic depression and hyperinflation." cepr.net/images/stories…
The January 2019 sanctions on Venezuela's national oil company PDVSA "froze many billions of dollars of Venezuelan assets that could have been
sold in order to maintain essential and life-saving imports, or to stabilize the economy." cepr.net/images/stories…

Just watched the Sanders town hall on Fox. Good to see his message get to a wider audience. He received applause for virtually every position he took and is clearly the Democratic party's best shot at defeating Trump. But his weakest area is foreign policy.
When a Syrian-American asked Sanders if he agrees that the US should stay out of Syria and Venezuela or if he's "going to become another cog in the war machine" he pivoted to his opposition to war on Iraq and Yemen. Nothing about dirty war on Syria or attempted coup in Venezuela
Another key moment: when an audience member asked how Sanders "can challenge the idea that socialism is bad", he responded by calling himself a "democratic socialist" in order to assure the wealthy that he's not a communist. There's no good reason to pander like that.

United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

LONG THREAD

1)
 Let’s talk about a @TIME piece written by two former Obama officials – Daniel Benjamin (@Benjamin05055) & @Jason_Blazakis – continuing their former boss’ weak appeasement policy vis-à-vis the regime in #Iran by now rushing to the support of the terrorist #IRGC.
2)
 Their @TIME piece is calling the bold move by U.S. President Donald Trump to rightfully designate #Iran’s #IRGC – which has American bloods on its hands – as “counterproductive.”

Benjamin & Blazakis have no problem with the IRGC killing Americans.

3)
 “Terrorism designations are supposed to be apolitical and preventative. But the IRGC designation is both political and punitive…,” the authors argue.

#Iran’s #IRGC fuels terrorism abroad.

Apparently, Benjamin & Blazakis have no problem with that.

Missed this: Netanyahu tweeted in Hebrew that the U.S. labeled Iran's IRGC a terrorist organization bc Bibi asked Trump to do it for him.

"Thank you for responding to another important request of mine," Bibi wrote.

English version of the same tweet made no mention of a request.
Here's the Hebrew tweet:

 Let’s talk about @christinawilkie, the anti-Trump “Political Reporter for CNBC.com,” tweeting about the Iranian opposition MEK.
(2) Why do I say @christinawilkie is “anti-Trump”?
Here’s a look.
(3)
 @christinawilkie uses the word “cult” about the MEK, a phrase used specifically by the Iranian regime & those who promote a soft, appeasement approach with Tehran.

We saw how Obama’s disastrous policies allowed #Iran wreak havoc across the Middle East...

 #Iran's IRGC Quds Force chief Qassem Suleimani
(notice the fear in his voice)

-describes US President Donald Trump as a "gambler"
-"we're very close to you, where you don't expect it"
-"this war will result in the destruction of all your assets"

(Audio & video not synced)
(2)
 -"you will start this war, but we will canvas its ending"

-"you shouldn't insult our president"
(proving @HassanRouhani is nothing but @khamenei_ir's puppet)

-"learn from your predecessor"
(showing he, too, misses @BarackObama)

His fear means #Winning
(3)
 In response to Suleimani's remarks, Iranians are sharing this image of #IRGC "submarines" dispatched for wargames to portray the "military might" of #Iran's regime.

( LOL! This is too good!)

I'll be on @AlArabiya_Eng at 2PM ET discussing the Trump administration decision to mull over whether it designate all of #Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. i24news.tv/en/news/intern…
I joined Al-Arabiya to discuss the implications of the Trump administration's possible decision to list the entire IRGC as a terrorist organization. Here's a link to the video (Arabic). vid.alarabiya.net/2018/07/03/tkt…
What are the implications of the US designating all of #Iran’s #IRGC as a terrorist organization and what message does it send to protesters inside Iran? I discuss on @AlArabiya_Eng (Arabic) matthewrjbrodsky.com/21351/the-impl…
