The Iranian attack was a response to Israel’s assault on its embassy, a breach of the ancient norms of international relations, the UN Charter, & the Vienna Convention. Iran’s counterattack targeted facilities in the sparsely populated Negev Desert, which were directly involved in the Israeli breach of international law. Iran cited the UN Charter’s right of self-defense in mounting its attack
Iran’s unprecedented retaliatory attack on Israel; US experts say Israel trying to involve US in war against Iran; Israel’s ongoing massacres, threats against Gaza; Israel’s allies’ attempt to bully pro-Palestinian, pro-justice voices; West Bank struggles against massive settler attacks
Times have been rough for Israel, thanks to a UN vote to halt arms sales, a Human Rights Watch war crime report, an angrier than usual Biden, a shake-up in the military ranks, and global scrutiny of AI targeting of people in Gaza. Meanwhile, Israel killing of Gazans and West Bank Palestinians continues, released Gaza captives show signs of torture – and another October 7th “friendly fire” incident is identified
Col. MacGregor, a 28-year veteran of the US Army who previously served as Senior Advisor to the US Secretary of Defense, explains that Iran did not perpetrate the recent attack that killed 3 American servicemen. He describes the long effort to get the US to Iraq attack Iran on behalf of Israel and explains that such an attack would be disastrous on every level.
Members of both parties demand that Biden bomb Iran… What price are Americans willing to endure in the name of protecting Israel & empowering its war on Gaza? Pelosi on CNN announces her belief that pro-Palestinian protesters are tied to the Kremlin, calls on FBI to investigate

The U.S. military establishment doesn’t want to fight in Iran, but Israel and AIPAC have been dragging them toward it with all their might
Weakening Iran & possibly even replacing its government is the most compelling issue for Israel & its powerful US domestic lobby, but the Israeli plan is much broader: to make the US the junior partner providing the money & weapons in an effort to militarily dominate the Middle East… Biden/Blinken administration caves on IDF killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, Syria, etc
Israeli forces murder Palestinians & Americans with impunity; David Brog runs for Congress in order to advance Israeli interests; Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff cover for Israel; US lied about Soleimani…
For many years, Israel & its partisans have pushed the US to attack Iran. Recently they’ve used the Afghan exit to promote policies that could escalate into another disastrous, failed war. Some analysts from across the political spectrum have opposed these dangerous efforts, including Wesley Clark on Democracy Now, CounterPunch writers, Tucker Carlson, & Patrick Buchanan (videos)…
