US’s war of choice on Iran imposed avoidable costs on Americans: FM
Press TV – May 16, 2026
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the US’s unprovoked aggression towards Iran has burdened ordinary Americans with avoidable economic costs.
“Americans are told that they must absorb rocketing costs of war of choice on Iran,” the top diplomat wrote in a post on X on Saturday.
“Put aside gas price hike and stock market bubble. Real pain begins when US debt and mortgage rates start to jump. Auto loan delinquencies are already at 30+-year high,” he added. “This was all avoidable.”
Together with the Israeli regime, the United States waged its latest bout of unlawful attacks on the Islamic Republic between February 28 and April 7.
The aggression prompted decisive and uncompromising reprisal featuring devastating blows to American and Israeli targets across the region. In addition to causing extensive material damage to the targeted sites, the Islamic Republic shut down the strategic Strait of Hormuz to enemies and their allies, therefore, sending shockwaves throughout global energy markets.
Including reconstruction and replacement costs, the war is so far estimated to have run Washington a cost likely ranging between $40 billion and $50 billion.
Economists, meanwhile, project the overall cost of continued restrictions imposed on the Strait of Hormuz to end up astronomically higher.
Professor Linda Bilmes, a public policy expert at Harvard Kennedy School, recently forecast that the war on Iran could ultimately cost American taxpayers $1 trillion.
On Friday, Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf, Iran’s Majlis (Parliament) speaker, warned that the United States’ efforts at sustaining military escalation near the strait could trigger a fresh global financial crisis at a time when Washington’s national debt already stands at a whopping $39 trillion.
AIPAC Favorite Ed Gallrein Wants to Bring Back the Draft
By Kurt Nimmo | Another Day in the Empire | May 15, 2026
Ed Gallrein is running against Thomas Massie in Kentucky. Trump hates Massie because he opposes the Iran boondoggle war. Massie has also demanded the release of the Epstein files. Ed has received a whopping $11,824,741 from the Israel lobby. That’s on the high end of donations, so you get an idea how important it is to defeat Massie and gain another voice for Israel in Congress.
There is one issue at the top of Gallrein’s list. Ed mentioned it during an interview with USA Cares, a veterans organization in Kentucky. The reimplementation of a military draft. Ed says we need it for “national security.” Considering the hefty sum donated by the lobby, it is natural to conclude much of that “national security” concerns Israel.
It is telling Gallrein complains about the slowness of the current system. The Selective Service system is inadequate for the sort of insta-wars the War Department is in the process of rolling out as of late. If you want to occupy a country the size of Iran, you need more than a million soldiers. For an occupation of Cuba, far less. Ed wants to take us back to days of the Vietnam War. Some of us remember how that turned out. Millions protested in the street and Lyndon Johnson refused to run for re-election. Nixon ran the war into the ground.
It will likely take a similar tactic to that used by the Ukrainian military when it hunts down reluctant draftees. Maybe that would become a task for ICE. Maybe there would be violent anti-draft riots like there were in northern cities during the War Between the States.
If Gallrein wins—and it is a close race—Kentuckians can look forward to having another bought-and-paid-for representative, this one ready to draft American kids and send them to help Zionist Israel become the undisputed hegemon of West Asia and realize its Greater Israel project.
Mainstream US media complicit in selling Gaza genocide, sweeping new analysis finds
MEMO | May 15, 2026
US media is systematically biased in favour of Israel, an analysis by The Intercept has uncovered. Investigation of more than 12,000 articles and 5,000 TV segments found mainstream US coverage was “one-sided, racist and dehumanising”, helping Israel justify its genocide in Gaza.
The investigation, published this week and drawn from research for a forthcoming book, examined more than 12,000 articles from the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN.com, Politico, Axios, USA Today and The Associated Press, alongside 5,000 television segments aired on CNN and MSNBC.
The focus is on centre-left outlets influential with the Biden administration during the first year of Israel’s assault on the besieged Gaza Strip.
The analysis identifies seven recurring patterns that, taken together, document the US media’s role in selling Israel’s narrative to the American public as the death toll in Gaza mounted into the tens of thousands.
Chief among the findings is the near-exclusive application of the phrase “right to defend itself” to Israel. On CNN and MSNBC, anchors, reporters and guests invoked the right to self-defence for Israel 94 times more often than for Palestinians, the analysis found. In print, Israel was afforded the same right more than 100 times as frequently.
The report also documents how the term “human shields” — a designation rejected by leading human rights organisations when applied to guerrilla forces operating near civilians — was used hundreds of times to describe Palestinian fighters, implicitly rationalising the killing of civilians in Israeli strikes. By contrast, the surveyed television coverage contained no references at all to the Israeli military’s own documented use of human shields, despite cases that meet the legal definition.
Emotive language was applied with similar partiality. Over a 100-day period in which roughly 24,000 Palestinians were killed, words such as “massacre”, “barbaric”, “savage” and “slaughter”, when used in outlets’ own editorial voice, were deployed “entirely in favour of Israel”, the analysis states.
Following Israel’s bombing of al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza City on 17 October 2023, US outlets rapidly adopted the qualifiers “Hamas-run” and “Hamas-controlled” when citing Palestinian casualty figures, a framing the report says functioned to discredit the death toll. Neither CNN nor MSNBC used the phrase in the first ten days of the assault; its use then climbed sharply, even as the US State Department, the World Health Organization and Human Rights Watch continued to treat figures from the Gaza Health Ministry as reliable.
The analysis further finds that victims likely to elicit public sympathy — journalists and children — received markedly less coverage during the first 100 days of Israel’s assault on Gaza than their counterparts in Ukraine had received in the equivalent early phase of Russia’s war.
Coverage of rising hate crimes in the same period focused almost entirely on anti-Semitism, with little attention paid to documented Islamophobia or to the impact of the killing in Gaza on Palestinian, Arab and Muslim communities in the US.
Perhaps the starkest example, the report says, is the contrast between the New York Times’ treatment of the resignation of Harvard University’s former president Claudine Gay and its coverage of the killing of five-year-old Hind Rajab, who was left to die in a vehicle alongside her family after coming under Israeli fire in Gaza.
‘Death to Arabs’: Settler mobs storm Jerusalem’s Muslim, Christian quarters for ‘Flag March’
The Cradle | May 14, 2026
Tens of thousands of Jewish settlers descended on occupied Jerusalem on 14 May to celebrate the so-called ‘Flag March,’ beating Palestinian residents in the Muslim Quarter of the city, damaging storefronts, and shouting anti-Arab slogans.
The event, also known as the Flag Dance, commemorates the Israeli conquest of East Jerusalem during the Six-Day War in 1967.
Even before the parade began, Zionist youths pushed and cursed Palestinian residents and activists from “Standing Together,” an Israeli-Palestinian group established to protect Palestinians during the parade.
“When we put our bodies on the line, it oftentimes reduces the violence because settlers are less willing to attack when there are Jews there or when we document what’s going on,” stated Ori Shaham, the group’s international spokesperson.
The parade has long been marked by violence, extreme racism, and hate songs directed against the Palestinian residents of the Old City.
On Wednesday, the Knesset’s Aliyah, Absorption, and Diaspora Committee held a discussion on the violence directed against Christians during the annual parade.
The committee’s chairman, MK Gilad Kariv, stated that “there is nothing more ugly and offensive to the status of Jerusalem than the ugly behavior on the sidelines of the Flag Parade.”
“Every year we know what will happen … Muslim and Christian residents will close their shops, close their homes and schools, and lock themselves in their homes so as not to be exposed to violence? Is this the way of Judaism and the Torah of Israel?”
Last month, Haaretz reported that the Authority for Jewish National Identity in the Prime Minister’s Office provided nearly $200,000 in funding to organize the parade.
The remainder of the $400,000 budget was provided by the Foundation for the Renewal of Communities in Israel, an umbrella organization for several Torah groups.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir used the Flag Day march to make a provocative raid on the Temple Mount, home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third-holiest site in Islam.
Ben Gvir declared the Temple Mount to be “in our hands,” claiming Israel had “restored sovereignty on the Temple Mount thanks to determination and deterrence.”
The Jerusalem Day parade is being held the day before Palestinians commemorate the Nakba (or Catastrophe) when pre-state Zionist militias killed some 13,000 Palestinians and violently expelled 750,000 from their homes and lands in 1948, enabling the creation of the State of Israel.
Russia says disputes over Iran, Greenland and Canada distract from Palestine
MEMO | May 13, 2026
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the US of trying to distract global attention from Palestine, Anadolu reports.
Commenting on the situation in the Middle East in an interview with RT India TV channel, Lavrov said ongoing US-provoked disputes involving Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland and Canada were distracting international attention from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“All of the efforts that are being taken right now on Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, and now Canada … all of these issues are moving us away from settling the most protracted, the most negative crisis in the world – that is, the crisis around Palestine,” he said.
The minister criticized American proposals regarding the future of the Gaza Strip, saying they did not address the establishment of a Palestinian state.
“I have no doubt that when plans to stir up aggression against Iran were being hatched, one of the goals was to prevent the normalization of relations between Iran and the Arab states,” he said.
He added: “Now, everything is being done to ensure that reconciliation never happens … and to pull its other Gulf neighbors into structures that, first, will not focus on resolving the Palestinian issue, and second, will force them to betray the Palestinian cause as the price for normalizing relations with Israel.”
Lavrov argued that failure to create such a state would prolong instability and extremism in the region for decades.
“We are returning to a period when everything is decided by force and international law is ignored,” Lavrov said.
Hidden deep in an NPR story about a man who threatened to kill Jews at Cornell… He admits he did it to benefit Israel
The North Star with Shaun King | May 9, 2026
In the Fall of 2023, local, national, and even international news reported that a New York man made a series of threats against Jewish students and staff at Cornell University. A year later he was actually convicted and sentenced to nearly two years in prison for it.
It happened. Students there were actually afraid. I don’t want to pretend that they weren’t.
But there is one detail in this story that pretty much changes EVERYTHING.
According to NPR’s own reporting, the lawyer for Patrick Dai — the former Cornell student sentenced to 21 months in prison for making violent threats against Jewish students — said Dai made those threats as a “misguided attempt” to generate support for Israel and that he was a devout supporter of Israel. It was a false flag attack.
Patrick Dai, a former Cornell student from Pittsford, New York, pleaded guilty to one felony count of posting threats to kill or injure another person using interstate communications. According to the Department of Justice, Dai admitted that on October 28th and 29th, 2023, he posted anonymous threats to the Cornell section of an online discussion forum, including threats to shoot up 104 West, a Cornell dining hall that serves kosher meals and is located next to the Cornell Jewish Center.
The posts were vile.
They were criminal.
They terrorized Jewish students.
And Dai deserved serious consequences.
But that is not the whole story.
The part that should have been in the headline — or at least in the first few paragraphs — is that Dai’s own attorney said he was not acting out of hatred for Israel, but out of a desire to defend it. Except I had to literally scroll down TWELVE PARAGRAPHS to learn that the student was a Zionist who did it all to make people feel more sympathy for Israel.
NPR reported that Dai’s lawyer, Lisa Peebles, described his actions in a court filing as a “misguided attempt to highlight Hamas’ genocidal beliefs and garner support for Israel.” She said he believed the posts would create “blowback” against what he perceived as anti-Israel media coverage and pro-Hamas sentiment on campus.
Read that again.
According to his lawyer, he made threats against Jewish students to create sympathy for Israel.
That is not a small detail.
That is not a footnote.
That is the story.
Because if that defense claim is true, even partly true, then this was not just a case of antisemitic threats in the simple way NPR framed it. It was a false-flag-style propaganda act: a man allegedly posing as the very hatred he claimed to oppose in order to manipulate public opinion.
And NPR buried that fact deep inside the story.
That matters because media framing shapes public consciousness. Most people never read to paragraph 10 or 12 or 15. They read the headline. They skim the first few paragraphs. They absorb the frame. And the frame here was simple: a former Cornell student made antisemitic threats during a period of rising campus tension after October 7th.
But the buried fact makes the story more complicated and more politically explosive.
The threats were real. The fear was real. The crime was real. But according to the defense, the motive was not what the public would naturally assume.
That is the tension NPR should have centered.
To be fair, prosecutors rejected Dai’s explanation. NPR reported that federal prosecutors described his claims as “self-serving” and said they were contradicted by the threats themselves and by his later apology. The court also found that his conduct qualified as a hate crime under federal sentencing guidelines because he targeted Jewish students and substantially disrupted Cornell’s educational function. The Justice Department said the threats “terrorized the Cornell campus community for days and shattered the community’s sense of safety.”
That must be included.
But including the prosecution’s view does not erase the media problem.
The public deserved to know, from the start, that the defendant’s lawyer said this was an attempt to manufacture sympathy for Israel. Arab News, citing AFP, stated it much more directly:
Peebles told the court Dai was “pro-Israel” and made posts “in the guise of an anti-Semite Hamas extremist.”
That phrase should stop everybody cold.
“In the guise.”
Meaning, according to the defense, he was pretending.
If a Muslim student had posted fake Islamophobic threats against Muslims and later claimed he did it to generate sympathy for Palestine, do we honestly believe NPR would have buried that detail deep in the story?
No.
It would have been the headline.
It would have been the lead.
It would have been the entire frame.
We would have heard about hoaxes, manipulation, propaganda, radical activism, and fake victimhood. Every cable news panel would ask what this says about pro-Palestinian movements. Every politician who wanted to criminalize Palestine solidarity would use it as evidence.
But when the alleged motive points in the other direction — toward manufacturing support for Israel — suddenly the detail is handled delicately, carefully, quietly.
That is the double standard.
And it is not harmless.
Since October 2023, American media has repeatedly helped create an atmosphere where Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and anti-war students are treated as presumed threats. Their protests are scrutinized. Their chants are criminalized. Their grief is pathologized. Their politics are framed as danger before they are understood as dissent.
Meanwhile, this case involved a man who admitted to making horrific threats against Jewish students — and whose own lawyer said he did so to create backlash against anti-Israel sentiment.
That should have forced a deeper media conversation about how fear is manufactured, how propaganda works, and how quickly institutions accept narratives that benefit Israel.
Instead, the story was mostly folded back into the same familiar frame.
“Rising antisemitism.”
“Campus tensions.”
“Threats against Jewish students.”
Again, the threats were real. Jewish students were harmed. Nothing about Dai’s claimed motive changes the terror they experienced.
But motive matters.
Political context matters.
Media framing matters.
Because when a threat is allegedly staged to create sympathy for Israel, the public deserves to understand that clearly. Not as an afterthought. Not buried beneath official statements. Not softened into a detail most readers will miss.
The same media institutions that demand endless nuance when Israel bombs hospitals, schools, refugee camps, journalists, doctors, and children somehow lose their curiosity when a story might reveal pro-Israel manipulation.
That curiosity returns only when it can be aimed at Palestinians, Muslims, Arabs, immigrants, protesters, or anyone demanding an end to genocide.
This is why independent media matters.
Because the question here is not whether Dai should have been punished. He should have been.
The question is why one of the most important facts in the story was buried.
The question is why a case that may involve false-flag-style threats designed to “garner support for Israel” was still framed mainly as a straightforward example of antisemitic danger on campus.
The question is why American media is so much more comfortable telling stories that benefit Israel than interrogating stories that expose how support for Israel is manufactured.
That is the real story.
And NPR had it.
They just buried the lead.
Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,

In letter to UN, Yemen calls for end to blockade, sabotage by US, allies
Press TV – May 12, 2026
Yemen has written to the United Nations, calling for an end to over 10 years of blockade of the country and urging cessation of aggressive measures targeting the nation by the US and its allies.
Deputy Foreign Minister Abdulwahid Abu Ras denounced continuation of the “unjust blockade” in a letter addressed to the UN secretary general and the world body’s Security Council, Yemen’s official Saba news agency reported on Monday.
Continuation of the blockade, he added, “does not serve international peace and security.”
Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies launched the blockade as part of a full-scale war on March 26, 2015, with military, political, and logistical support from the United States and other Western states.
The war went on to claim the lives of tens of thousands of Yemenis, while consistently falling short of its main objective of restoring power to Yemen’s former Riyadh-friendly government.
The government had fled the country amid a power struggle, prompting Yemen’s popular resistance Ansarullah movement to start running state affairs.
Following a fragile UN-brokered ceasefire that was clinched in 2022, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Israeli regime waged many rounds of wholesale aggression against Yemen.
The attacks would seek to cripple Sana’a’s capability to stage solidarity strikes against Israeli targets in response to Tel Aviv’s war of genocide on the Gaza Strip.
According to the Yemeni official, “The continued hostile activities of the United States and its proxies will inflict greater damage on the region, and their consequences will be catastrophic.”
“The state of ‘neither war nor peace’ is no longer acceptable under any circumstances.”
China rejects Israel’s ‘groundless’ allegation of missile support for Iran
Press TV – May 12, 2026
China has rejected Israel’s claims that Beijing provided support to Iran in manufacturing missiles.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun told reporters on Tuesday that the accusations “are not grounded in facts.”
Beijing, he said, is “committed to promoting de-escalation and peace talks to bring about an end to the conflict” between Iran and the United States.
“We have made China’s position clear on multiple occasions. As a responsible major country, China always fulfills its due international obligations,” he added.
In an interview with CBS, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that during the joint US-Israeli aggression against Iran, China “gave a certain amount of support and particular components for missile manufacturing.”
Asked whether such support was continuing, he said, “Could be. Could be,” without providing further information.
Netanyahu’s controversial remarks came ahead of a planned visit to Beijing by US President Donald Trump.
The Chinese foreign ministry spokesman also condemned recent US sanctions on 12 individuals and entities over their alleged links to Iran, saying Beijing firmly opposes “unilateral sanctions.”
Guo said that the current “pressing priority” in West Asia is to “prevent, by all means, a relapse in fighting, rather than exploit the situation to throw mud at China.”
The US Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on 12 individuals and companies, several of them based in China and Hong Kong, for their alleged involvement in helping Iran “obtain weapons and the raw materials” necessary for its Shahed drones and ballistic missiles.
The department also threatened to take action against any foreign entities supporting what it called “illicit Iranian commerce,” including airlines, and to implement secondary sanctions on foreign financial institutions that assist Iran, even those connected to China’s independent oil refineries.
China, however, pushed back against the sanctions on Chinese refiners buying Iranian crude, invoking a “blocking rule” for the first time last week, directing companies not to comply with US sanctions.
We refuse to be silenced’: Gaza film producers blast BBC at BAFTAs
Al Mayadeen | May 11, 2026
The producers of the documentary “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack” used their BAFTA TV Awards win on Sunday to publicly denounce the BBC for refusing to air the film, accusing the network of censoring coverage of “Israel’s” genocidal assault on Gaza and silencing voices that document the atrocities committed against Palestinian medical workers.
The documentary, originally commissioned by the BBC but never broadcast due to what the network called “concerns about impartiality” towards “Israel,” won in the current affairs category at the BAFTA ceremony in London. The film was eventually aired by Channel 4 and investigates the systematic targeting of medical personnel and healthcare infrastructure in Gaza during the ongoing genocide.
Journalist Ramita Navai delivered a speech while accepting the award, in which she stated that the occupation has killed tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza and deliberately targeted hospitals and medical workers. According to the documentary’s investigation, more than 1,700 Palestinian health workers have been killed, and over 400 have been abducted by Israeli forces.
Citing United Nations language, Navai described “Israel’s” attacks against Gaza’s medical infrastructure and personnel as “medicide.” She concluded her remarks with a defiant message: “We refuse to be silenced and censored.”
Executive producer challenges BBC on camera
Executive Producer Ben De Pear, speaking during the acceptance speech, dedicated the award to journalists in Gaza who continue to work under extreme danger. He then directly addressed the BBC on camera, questioning whether the broadcaster would also cut their acceptance speech from the delayed broadcast of the ceremony.
De Pear’s challenge to the BBC adds renewed pressure on the network over its long-standing Zionist bias and controversial editorial decisions regarding coverage of Palestine.
The incident follows a report by a Freedom of Information NGO on April 16, 2026, revealing that BBC executives have met nine times with Zionist groups since the start of the genocide, compared to just once with pro-Palestinian organizations.
Furthermore, over 100 BBC staff signed an open letter on July 2, 2025, addressed to Director-General Tim Davie, accusing the broadcaster of acting as “a mouthpiece” for “Israel” and failing its own editorial standards.
The documentary team’s defiance at the BAFTA awards underscores a growing crisis of credibility for the BBC, as even its own journalists and the filmmakers it commissioned accuse the network of actively suppressing evidence of war crimes and genocide.
UK mainstream media has been constantly criticized for its coverage of “Israel’s” genocide on Gaza, sparking controversy for its journalistic biases that promote double standards through misinformation.
“The coverage of Gaza has several noticeable features. There have been instances of misleading and factually incorrect information being published throughout the last 10 months,” media analyst at the Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) Faisal Hanif told Anadolu in September.
“Israel” killed two four-day-old newborn twins at their parents’ apartment in central Gaza in an airstrike as their father went to collect their birth certificates.
Western mainstream news outlets, including the BBC and Sky News, did not mention “Israeli strikes” in their headlines on their social media posts, prompting online users to ask “Killed by who?”
Hanif highlighted that many Western news outlets continue to refer to a fabricated story presented at the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, claiming the Palestinian resistance “beheaded babies.”
The media analyst emphasized that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to the debunked narrative in his address to the US Congress in July 2024, which the BBC reported verbatim without providing context for readers that investigative journalists determined the story to be a fabrication.
US suffers ‘total defeat’ in war against Iran, faces irreversible strategic collapse: Neocon analyst
Press TV – May 11, 2026
In a noteworthy mea culpa from one of America’s most influential neoconservative commentators, Robert Kagan believes the United States has suffered a “total defeat” in its ongoing war against Iran, which has permanently shattered its global standing.
Kagan, a co-founder of the Project for the New American Century and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, was a vocal advocate of the war against Iraq and a lifelong champion of American military interventions in West Asia.
But in a recent article for The Atlantic, he offered a grim verdict on the current war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, launched on February 28.
“The US suffered a total defeat,” Kagan writes, describing the loss as having no precedent in American history and one that can “neither be repaired nor ignored.”
While acknowledging that previous American military failures carried heavy costs, Kagan insists this war is fundamentally different in nature.
“The defeats in Vietnam and Afghanistan were costly but did not do lasting damage to America’s overall position in the world,” the prominent commentator writes.
“Defeat in the present confrontation with Iran will be of an entirely different character.”
At the heart of this catastrophe, Kagan noted, is Iran’s newfound ability to control the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most strategic waterway, without any challenge.
“Iran will be able not only to demand tolls for passage, but to limit transit to those nations with which it has good relations,” he writes.
According to Kagan, Iran has no interest in returning to the pre-war status quo. Most Persian Gulf states, he believes, will have no choice but to accommodate Tehran, effectively making Iran the dominant regional power.
“The United States will have proved itself a paper tiger, forcing the (Persian) Gulf and other Arab states to accommodate Iran,” Kagan writes.
He also dismisses any notion that a coalition of allies could rectify the situation.
“If the United States with its mighty Navy can’t or won’t open the strait, no coalition of forces with just a fraction of the Americans’ capability will be able to, either,” he states.
Kagan frames the collapse not as a regional setback but as a global strategic failure that fundamentally alters America’s position in the world.
“America’s once-dominant position in the (Persian) Gulf is just the first of many casualties,” he warns. “America’s allies in East Asia and Europe must wonder about American staying power in the event of future conflicts.”
Compounding the strategic humiliation is a staggering depletion of American military resources during the ongoing war, which has been widely documented in the US media.
“Just a few weeks of war with a second-rank power have reduced American weapons stocks to perilously low levels, with no quick remedy in sight,” Kagan writes.
He hastens to add that the United States now finds itself unable to control the consequences of a war it initiated – a war it has already lost.

On ‘conflict’, ‘peace’ and ‘genocide’: Time for new language on Palestine
By Ramzy Baroud | MEMO | June 12, 2021
On 25 May, famous US actor Mark Ruffalo tweeted an apology for suggesting that Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza.
“I have reflected and wanted to apologise for posts during the recent Israel/Hamas fighting that suggested Israel is committing ‘genocide’,” Ruffalo wrote, adding: “It’s not accurate, it’s inflammatory, disrespectful and is being used to justify anti-Semitism, here and abroad. Now is the time to avoid hyperbole.”
But were Ruffalo’s earlier assessments, indeed, “not accurate, inflammatory and disrespectful”? And does equating Israel’s war on besieged, impoverished Gaza with genocide fit into the classification of “hyperbole”? … continue
