An Ohio University professor was removed from teaching a MFA class a day after returning home from an Israeli prison where he was detained upon being illegally abducted from the flotilla.

His students [solidarity!] walked out on the replacement prof in protest.

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

"If this had been a terrorist attack.. an initial explosion, everyone rush to that & the 2nd explosion to create as much carnage as possible. Its hard not to see this in that light even though its a state defence force carrying out the attack"

We are doing this. Our governments. Our taxes. Our arms sales.

This is our Holocaust. Our Cambodian killing fields. Our Balkans. Our Rwandan genocide.

We are doing this and history will never forgive us.

Having mastered toilet paper supply chain logistics, large language models, Middle Eastern history, submarine design, and balloon dynamics, I would like to explain why I think the US military strikes in Iran obliterated the Fordow nuclear site while leaving Natanz and Isfahan largely intact...(1/37)

My latest op-ed for the @latimes.com out this morning. Regime change is once again on the agenda, treated as an obvious solution, a magic bullet for Iranians & the world. But very few voices are asking, "Then what?" Where does the magic bullet land? #Iran #Nationalism

Contributor: Why 'bunker busters' won't end Iran's nuclear ambitions
Even if there is a regime change in Iran, no new government there will survive unless it sustains and perhaps surpasses the current leadership's belligerence.

Yes, it’s totally different when you have an even *dumber* president.
Vance: I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Is Fordo really the most important thing about Iran’s nuclear program or is the focus on it designed to drag the US into the war? Since Fordo is the only target that needs US planes and bunker buster bombs.
