🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump Sent 80 TANKERS to Israel: The US Is Preparing for WAR With Iran Before the midterms, the US quietly struck Iran’s Qeshm Island, and almost nobody talked about it. Jackson goes through the military movements suggesting the war is about to restart: reports of at least 80 US refueling tankers and 10 heavy transport aircraft flowing into Israel, satellite images of 25 American tankers at Ramon Airport and a large buildup at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, tankers hit in the Strait of Hormuz and off Ras al-Khafji, and Trump’s reply when asked whether the US will go back to war: “Let’s say I did, would I tell you?” He also covers the explosions on Qeshm and in Bandar Lengeh, the US admission of “limited, defensive” strikes, the IRGC’s footage of a downed MQ-9 Reaper and LUCAS drones, Russia’s Geran-5 jet drone, air defenses reportedly flown from Texas to Israel, President Pezeshkian’s “let them assassinate me” message, the USS Theodore Roosevelt heading west, and Iran’s refusal to drop its seven demands.

The early Zionist leaders always regarded the Palestinians as the original inhabitants of the territory.

False. The early Zionist leaders always regarded the Palestinians as the original inhabitants of the territory. In 1923, Zeev Jabotinsky (founder of Revisionist Zionism, now embodied in Israel’s Likud party) said: “Palestine will remain for the Palestinians not a borderland, but their birthplace and the center of their own national existence.” Earlier, in 1921, the German Zionist leader Georg Landauer warned the Twelfth Zionist Congress that total war with the Arabs was inevitable unless the Zionists made urgent efforts to reach a friendly agreement with the Palestinians. Jabotinsky replied by ironically asking whether, during the colonization of America or Australia, anyone had bothered to beg the natives for permission to colonize those lands. P.S.: You can read all of this in “Founders & Sons,” the great book by Amos Elon, undoubtedly one of the best Israeli journalists to have ever lived.

Let's talk about the idea that the Arabs in Israel are a minority. There's a tendency to view the Arab citizens of Israel along the armistice lines as a minority and then to draw bizarre comparisons to Jews in Europe or Blacks in the U.S., and from there to talk about racism
