 @brhodes, the architect of the #Iran “echo chamber,” is working overtime to parrot Tehran’s talking points about Yemen.
Let’s take a look at Tehran’s role in Yemen and how they support the Houthis.
Of course, neither Rhodes nor MSM will ever highlight these facts.
2)
 Iran’s regime denies any role in the recent attack.
3)
 For those interested about details on the recent attack targeting two important Saudi oil facilities, this thread sheds some light.

OUTRAGEOUS! Labour Councillor @Ayferorhan2 was accused of anti-semitism & suspended for retweeting me with a Question! Israel DOES NOT DENY that it was helping AlQaeda in the #GolanHeights , You want evidence @SouthGateLabour? Watch this thread @miriamdwek jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/enfield-labour…
1. UN stationed in the Golan reported Israel providing aid to Al Qaeda & ISIS.
ibtimes.co.in/un-report-isra…

2. Former Head of Mossad Efraim admitted that Israel was providing medical aid to AL Qaeda in an interview aljazeera.com/programmes/upf…

Pay attention @SouthgateLabour @Ayferorhan2
Listen to the former head of Mossad tell you in his own words, that ISRAEL was aiding AL QAEDA!

Is he Anti-Semitic @LabourAgainstAS @SouthgateLabour @miriamdwek @BambosMP ?

1, At this very moment perhaps several thousand Al-#Qaeda & #ISIS fighters are in the open near #Manbij threatening 🇺🇸 @USSOCOM. If @realDonaldTrump does not give orders to eliminate the people who attacked NYC @NancyPelosi should force an impeachment vote this week. #ORANGEISIS New York on 911
2. Make the @GOP admit they are really traitors or, if not, willing to remove their own party's President. Whether motion passes or fails, the 116th @HouseJudiciary can bring impeachment articles. Make the 115th @GOP go on record as #AQ supporters. Then make them own it in 2020.
3. Trump and his pal @RT_Erdogan are supporting the ISIS AQ Jihadists. Teach the Manbij Jihadist force what being a US enemy means. @CENTCOM must unleash B-1 racks of SDBs for 12 hours of hell. Put Al-Qaeda and ISIS on the run.

Do it for New York. @NYPDCT @ChiefPentSpox
