Thank you so much for this. I would like to know if he thinks the State of Palestine is in the offing in the next few years. The implosion of Israel cannot happen fast enough. Good to have this analysis of American reaction to so-called Iranian proxies and explanation of the dramatic shift of power dynamics in the Middle East. It is not surprising but does encourage me, given the inhuman attacks on UNWRA, et al. I noticed how suddenly the propaganda changed from warning Americans about an Iranian cyberattack that would take out our infrastructure to now supposedly it's the Chinese. They are also pushing the story that the flow of migrants from South and Central America are being organized by the Chinese and UN. I am curious why they shifted from pushing the bogeyman as Iranian to now Chinese. Of course, it's really easy to get Americans to turn off their brains and hate and fear both groups. The problem with sanctions is that it strengthens the country being sanctioned, makes them more independent and--in Iran's case--far more creative. The best weapon to use against the racist is his or her own racism. It blinds them and allows the people being discriminated against to get their ducks in a row in plain sight. I am so proud of Iran. It is a tree with such deep roots there is little possibility of killing it. But not many Westerners know much about Persian history, an ignorance which just makes the West weaker. I wish we had as strong a resistance in the U.S. The fall of this empire is going to be painful.

Israel knows. You can't walk three steps without stumbling on archaeological evidence of the Persian Empire(s) in Iran. That's why they stated as a goal as Bush Jr. left that they were going to bomb all evidence of the Islamic civilization in Syria to smithereens so Muslims and Arabs would have no remaining physical proof of their accomplishments. That's what they've done in Palestine, too. That's what they did in Iraq. And why they bombed Palmyra. As though history is erased as easily as that.

Interesting article at The Mint today re the group of mostly Jewish billionaires who are funding a pro-Israeli propaganda campaign on social media. Good luck, bros. Some things cannot be bought.
