A deal with Iran must: - Eliminate every path to a nuclear weapon - Open the Strait without tolls - End support for terrorist proxies - Provide no sanctions relief, or unfrozen cash, unless those conditions are met and held.

For those Americans asking why Iranians did not take to the streets during the war, despite losing 40,000 people in January, here’s the answer: The Iranian people were prepared to sacrifice once again. They were ready to face bullets and death all over again because they trusted President Trump. Trump himself told Iranians to take shelter and stay home, promising that once the U.S. military operation was finished, they could take control of their country. Days later, Admiral Brad Cooper repeated the exact same message. So the Iranian people waited. They trusted the President of the United States. Then, instead of keeping his word, Trump abruptly declared a ceasefire and falsely announced that regime change had already happened. He lied to the Iranian people. He betrayed a nation that trusted him after sacrificing 40,000 lives. And now some people ask why Iranians were not in the streets? Because President Trump told them to stay home and then abandoned them. That is an undeniable fact. @POTUS @SecRubio @JDVance @LindseyGrahamSC @marklevinshow

This is a joke, surely? All weekend the mayor was spreading disinformation which led to a demonstration outside a synagogue.

Reportedly, the US believes Iran when it says, with a straight face, that it won’t now pursue a nuclear weapons programme (the lie it’s told for four decades). US Vice-President JD Vance says, with a straight face, that every war including WW2 ended with a negotiated settlement. Are all these Trump administration staffers total imbeciles? No. They’re treating everyone else as an imbecile. They’re redefining victory and surrender to cover the fact that they’re proposing to surrender to Iran and pluck defeat from the jaws of victory. If the idea is that, once the oil price comes down and the mid- terms are behind it, the US will return to war with a bunch of reinvigorated, resupplied and pumped-up apocalypticists, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. This is how the free world dies. @realDonaldTrump

If the Iranian regime strikes Israel again, I sure hope we won’t be told not to defend ourselves or to retaliate. And if we’re told, I hope we will do what’s right for Israel. When you’re attacked, you defend yourself. Plain and simple.

Hezbollah attacks Israel. Israel responds. Guterres: “I strongly condemn Israel for the attack.” Classic gaslighting. Never misses a chance to blame the victim defending itself.

I can't tell you how many people, several of whom you'd know, who are contacting me out of grave concern.

.@MayorofLondon have you visited @novaexhibition yet? It's only in London for three more weeks. Surely you will go and see it

Being pro-genocide of Jews is not an excuse for fracturing an innocent person's spine with a sledgehammer.

Join me in once again calling for the resignation of @TheLancet editor Richard Horton. Publishing a petition calling for the boycott of the Israeli Medical Association is an absolute disgrace. Medicine should bring physicians together in service of patients, not weaponize professional organizations for political campaigns. Just as it failed the public on the #COVID19 origins debate, The Lancet is again positioning itself as a political actor rather than a medical journal.

5/5 The WMA Congress meets in Rotterdam this October to consider this petition. The right response is simple: reject it. Unanimously. Medicine must heal, not divide. Medical associations should be judged by standards of medical ethics — applied equally to all 117 members, based on evidence, not political pressure campaigns. The moment we expel medical bodies based on political litmus tests is the moment we destroy the neutrality that makes global medicine possible. Defend the IMA. Defend medical neutrality. Defend the principle that a physician's allegiance is to the patient — not to the mob. The Lancet should be ashamed. And every physician who values science over activism should say so — loudly — before October.

1/5 An open letter to @TheLancet from an Iranian-Jewish cardiologist. Today, one of the world's most prestigious medical journals published a campaign to suspend the Israeli Medical Association from the World Medical Association — the body founded after WWII to ensure physicians would never again be weaponized by political ideology. I'm a cardiologist. I'm an Iranian Jew who grew up under a regime where medicine was subjugated to the state. What The Lancet just did is a disgrace to my profession. Here's what they published — and what they deliberately left out.

One of the most troubling aspects of the Palestine Action/Elbit case is the moral psychology involved. It is what happens when a political cause becomes a total identity and creates the opportunity for malign actors to exploit it. Once “Palestine” is transformed from a cause into a sacred symbol of moral standing, ordinary ethical boundaries begin to collapse. Violence is described as “direct action,” criminal damage as “solidarity,” arrest as “repression,” and prison as martyrdom. The worker in the factory, the police officer with a family, the public frightened by political violence, even the activist discarding their own future, all fade into a heroic narrative about resistance. It is radicalisation. Outrage narrows the mind; group approval encourages escalation; online applause replaces conscience. The slogan provides moral permission, and the crowd offers emotional insulation. Every consequence is then reinterpreted as proof that the system is evil, making self-correction nearly impossible. The most tragic aspect is how cheaply lives are destroyed. People with futures sacrifice them for a fantasy of moral purity. Supporters enjoy the warm glow of righteousness. The accused face the sentence, the criminal record, the terrorist notification requirements, and the ruin of adulthood. You can care about Palestinians without excusing political violence. You can condemn civilian suffering without romanticising criminality or being duped by false propaganda narratives about “genocide”. Having a just cause does not make a person just. Sometimes the most dangerous lie people tell themselves is that because they have chosen the “right side”, anything they do in its name must be good.

This week the most advanced AI model on the planet got switched off by a foreign government. British researchers were studying it. British companies were testing it. British hospitals were piloting it. Not any more. This isn't an AI story. It's the story of every industry we used to lead. Britain has some of the best AI talent in the world. DeepMind was built here. Our AI Safety Institute writes the rules other countries follow. We have the researchers, the universities, the standards. What we don't have is the power stations to run the data centres, the planning system to build them, or the industrial base to make the chips. So the work happens here and the value lands somewhere else. We invent. Others build. Others decide. Then we read about it on Saturday morning. Same story as the kit our soldiers don't have. Same story as the factories we used to. I spent nine months in government making this argument inside the room. I'll make it louder from outside.

RT @Mr_Andrew_Fox: Whilst those idiots deserve what they got, but my greater contempt is reserved for the propaganda agents like Polanski,…

My heart breaks seeing this Jewish owned business set alight in North West London. This cannot go on. What can be done?

Exclusive: If you have fallen for the PR blitz surrounding Mohsen Mahdawi, the Palestinian student who loves peace and Jewish people, then sit down and hold onto something. You’ve been fooled. It is time to meet the real Mohsen Mahdawi Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️

As Lord Polak, rightly asks, amid all the fuss and anger about some charity money going to help people in disputed territory, what is @HFalconerMP doing about British charity money going to funders of terrorism, the IRGC and Muslim Brotherhood? A few months ago, I hosted an event with @LordWalney and @KasraAarabi about their report into how the IRGC - which has carried out numerous acts of terror on British soil - is being funded by British charities. There was no performative statement from our government then. The issues continue…

Is he right? Has the British parliament discussed Israel more than any other single issue, including domestic issues like immigration or healthcare? If that’s even close to being true, it feels like a signal of something profoundly wrong about what Britain is becoming.

“Boycotting everyone just because they’re Israeli is a form of racist prejudice” Leila Shahid was the first woman ambassador of Palestine. She served in Ireland, the Netherlands, and France. She was the Palestinians’ delegate at the EU. Before her death in February, she sat on a panel with Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid, who is a staunch critic of the Israeli government and even of Israeli society itself. She brazenly criticized the boycott movement that includes bans on Israeli artists based on nationality. This week, Lapid was subject to just such a boycott, when so many filmmakers dropped out of a film festival he was set to jury that he was forced to resign. Western activists will do anything for Palestinians. Except actually listen to them.
