here is what the Levant is as a region

im not taking any questions

is the Caucasus even MENA tho

Just saw this Gen Z Texas Dem influencer say that Nikki Haley "understands foreign policy" time to rip my hair out dawg

Mostly tangential to the specificity of the point but it has always struck me as odd whenever I see people say Iran wants a Republican in the White House. That is the literal opposite of the truth.

Trump probably should be extra worried about the Iranians right now (although I’m not really sold that they’d truly make the attempt, although the Iranians might want to merely torment Trump by making him THINK they will).

Once the International Court of Justice (rightfully) declares the occupation of Palestine to be illegal, one hopes that we will finally begin to see a binding sanctions regime imposed onto Israel via the United Nations. It will take years, but we will eventually get there over American objections.

Israeli officials expect ICJ to rule occupation in West Bank violates international lawwww.haaretz.com ***

Taking bets on whether the president condemns the forthcoming ICJ ruling on Friday.

Apparently if you are a disabled Palestinian mauled to death by an IDF canine unit the BBC will call it a "lonely death" instead of saying the truth, which is that you were murdered.

I think about this every so often - our ability to remember and acknowledge without learning anything www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

Biden becomes first US president to recognise Armenian genocidewww.theguardian.com President called Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Friday to inform him US would make designation on 106th anniversary of the genocide

We shouldn't be surprised that the Biden administration is pressuring the British government to delay and even block the ICC's indictments of Netanyahu and Gallant, but we should be no less angry that the president is so eager to defend the Middle Eastern Milosevic.

Also, Trumpian: The Guardian printing lies about Labour not interfering with the ICC only for Lammy to fly out to shake hands with Netanyahu and promise continued interference, and then call Muslims conspiracists for noticing things.

A very Trumpian comment.

The Biden administration's Treasury Department and Hochul's state government in New York could simply enforce already-existing tax law on these groups and strip them of their eligibility for deductions and exemptions, but they choose not to.

Far-right groups that block aid to Gaza receive tax-deductible donations from US and Israelapnews.com The Associated Press and the Israeli investigative site Shomrim found that these groups have prevented aid from reaching Gaza, including one accused of looting or destroying supplies.

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump does not erase the crimes that Trump himself has committed against American democracy, or the crimes he would commit if given the chance, and no one is obligated to pretend otherwise www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Nothing About the Attempted Assassination Redeems Trumpwww.theatlantic.com This crime does not erase what the former president has done, or what he has promised to do.

I think the best way to determine if the claim “I’m the guy that did more for the Palestinian community than anybody.” is true is to ask what Palestinians think and the data is pretty overwhelmingly clear that both those in Palestine and those in the diaspora do not think Biden is correct.

A very Trumpian comment.

“President Joe Biden, who has pledged support for Israel amid the country’s ongoing war with Hamas that has left more than 37,000 Palestinians dead, claimed in a recent interview that he’s “the guy that did more for the Palestinian community than anybody.””

Biden Claims He’s Done ‘More for the Palestinian Community Than Anybody’www.rollingstone.com Biden, who has pledged support for Israel amid their war with Hamas, claimed he's “the guy that did more for the Palestinian community than anybody."

From November. Even if you were to put aside that Israel was still occupying Gaza in contravention of international law prior to October 7th, by just about every metric the Secretary of State has failed at his job.

Israel cannot reoccupy Gaza at end of conflict, says Antony Blinken | US foreign policy | The Guardianamp.theguardian.com US secretary of state echoes White House line, while UK favours rule by ‘peace-loving Palestinian leadership’

Not enough people talk about the pretty explicit parallels between the Nixon administration's "Tar Baby" doctrine towards apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia and the Biden administration's modern version of that in its "normalization" doctrine towards apartheid Israel.

honestly the bandaging is what i expected as someone who has had multiple reconstructive ear surgeries myself

This is incredibly condescending. They will never understand, we don’t support normalisation and we hate our leaders. And we hate out leaders even more for supporting normalisation!

Returning briefly to say that Biden's answers to the two questions about Israel-Palestine and Arab American and Muslim American voters might be the worst comments he's made since he denied the death toll last October.

I’m reading a general history of Indonesia, and perhaps it’s just the nature of a highly ethnically and religiously diverse archipelago, but thus far there have been a remarkable amount of military and political shenanigans

"The Foreign Ministry expresses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s condemnation and denunciation in the strongest terms of the continued genocidal massacres against the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israeli war machine."

If you're a Westerner who complains about the lack of democracy in the Arab world but you willingly choose to live in and work in the United Arab Emirates you're a total hack lol
