RT: @PulaRJS Jeremy Johnson - in 50 years time this will be the only 1.39 minutes of your life you'll be remembered for. It'll be played in genocide museums to sum up the complicity and callous brutality of the British state in the face of the slaughter of the Palestinian people - and the courage of those who opposed it.

2026-06-07 20:29:06 GMT

And why did Israel attack now? Because any positive development that the U.S. and Iran might reach an agreement to end their hostilities must be stopped.
For Israel, regional peace is a threat. For the region, Israel is.

What this leaves out is that it’s a response to Israel’s earlier attack on Beirut, which Iran said it would respond to.
Trump said he stopped Israel from attacking Beirut last week for this exact reason. Israel ignored him because they want war, not ceasefires or peace.
