A month into the Iran war, it is clear that Israel aims to disrupt any possible off-ramp the Trump administration and Iran may be looking for to end the fighting, and that Iran, not the U.S., is the key actor that will determine how the war ends.

The upcoming No Kings protest could be the biggest anti-Trump event ever, but opposing the war on Iran doesn’t seem to be on the agenda.

A recent poll registered Israeli support for the war on Iran at a whopping 93%. Between the genocide, the ethnic cleansing, and the annexations, Israelis think this is how it’s meant to be. Constant war to sustain our constant expansion.

These are signs of the growing impatience of Iran’s Arab neighbors with Iran’s tactic of striking at them in response to Israeli or American attacks. But the anger of the Gulf states isn’t only reserved for Iran.

Israel is waging a campaign of psychological warfare in Beirut by projecting godlike power from the skies, raining down bombs that mete out death and dropping leaflets vowing that Beirut and Gaza will share in the same fate.

The dehumanization of Israeli society itself reaches yet another nadir, as the soldiers who gang-raped a Palestinian prisoner from Gaza are not only freed, but celebrated and recommended to return to military service.

AIPAC is taking a victory lap after 2 of the 4 candidates it backed in the Illinois primaries won their races. But is it really a resounding win if you have to spend $22 million to still lose 2 races?

You know a war probably isn’t going well when the President starts threatening media outlets with treason charges. And as the situation in the Middle East inevitably gets worse, Americans can expect more First Amendment threats.

Every week the U.S.-Israeli war grinds on without a decisive conclusion becomes a lesson in the limits of U.S. power. A campaign initially meant to reinforce U.S. and Israeli supremacy may instead signal its decline.

While the U.S. and Israel share a goal of weakening the one state that has challenged their joint agenda in the Middle East, Israel’s desire to achieve regional hegemony by any means necessary may not fare well for the U.S. and its own interests.
