Thread: There is the usual talking point going around the pro-Iran-Regime-Lobby in which Israel is once again presented as somehow doing something wrong by seeking to work with the US on Iran threats...or that Israel could start a "war"...the usual "war" bogeyman myth
The fact is that Israel is the one being threatened. Israel doesn't run proxy groups throughout the Middle East and arm them illegally by giving militias weapons...or have whole days devoted to bashing Iran or soldiers marching on Iran's flag. Only Iran does that.
There is never going to be a "war" with Iran, war is the talking point to claim that those who oppose the Iran regime far-right extremists are "hawks" or "for war"...which is nonsensical. Iran's regime can't afford a war, that is why it arms militias in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon,Yemen

News from Israel's IAI #IsraelDefenseNews "IAI will supply tens of millions of dollars of Heron MK II systems to an [unnamed] Asian country." #dronewars Important deal.
"The Heron MK II is the most advanced model of the Heron family. It reaches an altitude of 35,000 feet, a maximum speed of 140 knots and can stay in the air for up to 45 hours of flight." Can land at any type of airport and in extreme weather conditions.

Quick thoughts and thread on the recent barrage of articles seeking to push the view that all of Israel, and the West Bank, and Jerusalem and Gaza are “apartheid”...implications of this is to roll it out on eve of Biden admin to try to shift narrative (again)
First of all the whole “Zionism is racism” and “Israel is apartheid” has been a talking point for decades pushed first by the “anti-imperialist” crowd and then later in the 1990s after end of Cold War and end of actual apartheid in S. Africa.
Second this argument has shifted from seeking to encourage Israel to leave the “Occupied Palestinian Territories” which means Gaza and West Bank and East Jerusalem; to arguing all of Israel is “apartheid”

I'm confused...A Newsweek report says there are "Shahed-136" drones in Yemen, a drone I've never heard of before...and then Israel's reports, based on Newsweek, turn them into "Shahed 129", both reports call them kamikaze drones...but Shahed 129 is a copy of a Predator? Confusing ImageImageImage
I'm all for articles about Iranian drones in Yemen...definitely there are Iranian-style drones and technology, the Qasef series, for instance. But what's up with the reports about the Shahed-136 and Shahed 129 and calling them loitering or kamikaze UAVs?
Here is the report; newsweek.com/iran-suicide-d…

It’s interesting that when ISIS used social media and messaging platforms to coordinate a genocide and attacks in which thousands were murdered the big tech didn’t take those platforms off line. Was it just because they didn’t feel lives in Iraq and Syria were as important?
I remember in 2014 how open support of ISIS was, we learned later the group even used platforms to trade and sell slaves. Millions of pro-ISIS accounts were later closed but no one moved as quick as they did to stop Parler. That is interesting historically.
It took years to remove the ISIS extremist accounts between 2014 and 2017...I know because I followed and wrote about this issue and was in Sinjar after the genocide. It took just days to remove Parler.
