Donald Trump is a Russian "asset" and, according to "The Guardian" (1/29/21), he has been for decades. Anyone who still doubts this need only look at his low-towing to Putin in Ukraine and his excuse for lifting the sanctions against the export of Russian oil and gas, the revenues from which Putin has used to fund his criminal war.

Israel has been under siege by Gaza since the end of World War II when Zionists and other Western power elites decided to steal Palestine and exterminate Palestinians. Behold! God's Chosen People, nothing but common thugs, thieves and murderers. Monsters and demons straight from hell bent on destroying God's creation. My chief question is this, when Israel and America decide to use nuclear weapons, what happens next? Do the power elites scurry to their bunkers or do they expect to be raptured as they watch Jesus descend from heaven with angelic hosts wielding swords a-flamin'? Us left behind human vermin will crawl through filthy radioactive dirt and rubble from water puddle to puddle until we give up our miserable ghosts that will forthwith be cast into eternal damnation and torment. Let's get this party started!

Listening to the corporate media in the US you would think that Palestinian tanks and warplanes have reduced Tel Aviv to rubble and slaughtered over 20,000 Israeli children.

Zionism is to Judaism as white supremacy is to Christianity and Jihad is to Islam.

Greater Israel is the Zionist version of LEBENSRAUM.

What is the actual reason Israel and the US chose to attack Iran? Why did these two nation states initiate a mass murder and destruction spree, unprovoked?

These questions demand answers now. No evolving narratives of the continued violence inflicted upon the Iranian people are sound without resolving the "Why".

Iran is being subjected to the usual tactics of the rapist class, but refuses to be a victim. Iran is refusing to bend over, and for that reason - **legitimately** defending itself - Iran has been shamed by both the global corporate media and Iran's regional neighbors.

I remember a time when Israel claimed - and still claims - "a right to defend itself". The ruling factions of the world nodded their heads in agreement and transferred untold wealth and weapons to Israel. And even as "defense" proved to be genocide, the global ruling class continued to support them. "Ironclad" they said.

So someone please explain to all of the actual humans on Earth how it is that Israel has an absolute right to "defend" itself, yet Iran - subjected to ongoing unprovoked, relentless murder and destruction - does **not** have this same right? Instead, Iran has earned the ire of the corporate media class for the act of simply refusing unwelcome violent advances from the US and Israel.

This double standard is unacceptable.

Those countries seeing their coastline shipping boats being attacked should unite, determine where these weapons are fired from and do a little swatting back. Man up South America.

First, Pres. Trump's pro-Russian position on Ukraine and what he demands they capitulate is immoral. His pro-Russian bias might be called treason, considering his refusal to recognize and condemn Russia's aid to Iran in the present war. However, your terminology as regards the Middle East is so slanted and full of lies. First, let us be quite honest: if Hamas had not attacked Israel on 7/10/23, there would have been no war and no deaths of Gazans. Gazans would be living their lives in peace, as they were (minus their terror attacks over the border since 2007), there would be no limitations on their lives. As for calling it genocide, less than a half of one percent of the Gazan population has been killed, and that includes proven terrorists. Once one begins a war, one does not know where it will lead and the Gazans had no reason to launch the war, other than hate for Israel. The same as regards Lebanon. Hezbollah first attacked Israel on 8/10/23 and again, with newly supplied Iranian weapons, when the new Iran war began. If it had disarmed and not attacked, there would have been no war in Lebanon. But, again, once one begins a war, one does not know where it will lead. For Israel, these are wars for survival. Learn a bit of history, this is the historic homeland of the Jewish people and the only Jewish state. There are lots of Muslim states in teh Middle East. I am not enough of a defense person to know if any of the lives lost could have been saved but' again, once you start a war, expect a reaction and the loss of life on your side. Finally, Iran has been an enemy of Israel, devoted to its destruction since 1979, has made huge amounts of weapons towards that end. It must be stopped. Note Pres. Zelenskyy's position on that.

Before Oct 7/23 Israel laughingly refered to the killing of Palestinian woman and children as "mowing the lawn". Israeli snipers had a great time picking off the little children.

Absolutely ! Those nasty Palestinians forced millions of Jews to flee to refugee camps in Syria and Jordan in 1948/49. They forced Jews to flee from their ancestral homeland where they had lived for centuries. Then brutal occupation and Apartheid controlling Jewish lives. Today Jews are dying of hunger and disease because the Palestinians restrict their medicine, food, water and bomb their hospitals and kill doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, etc. Palestinians target Jewish journalists at a level beyond any in history.

You should read up on how long Israel had been under siege by Gaza, it is rather horrifying.
