I actually agree with this. But why jeopardize some of the key features of that success?

Watch this video clip Two Jewish students built a business. A Cornell classmate rejected their job offer — in writing — because he was "not interested in working for a Jew." They kept his name private. They just wanted proof that antisemitism is real, not imagined or exaggerated. He outed himself. And their reward for that restraint? They're the ones paying the price. A flood of vile hate — most of it right here on X. People aren't just defending him. They're saying Jew-hatred is justified. These young men aren't asking for his punishment. They're asking for accountability for the hatred now being directed at them. Elon — this is happening on X every single day.

Thread.

Everyone now sees why Iran requested JD Vance for negotiations.

OK, there were two potentially rational strategies (with proponents of both in violent disagreement) 1) Don’t start a war at all 2) Start and continue a war until you clearly win I’m not arguing for either here. But starting a war, reducing a cancer but not killing it always being the worst idea possible, and then stopping by doing your best Obama-deal imitation, seems to be the worst possible strategy. If Dr. Strange went through millions of scenarios he’d say “this is the only one we lose in.” Oh, and while the agreement is to stop fighting, there is nothing close to an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program which, uh, WAS THE WHOLE FREAKING POINT. Trump actually says something like “they don’t even want a nuclear weapon anymore.” If anyone believes that they aren’t merely dumb they are “call the Guinness people (the world record ones not the brown ale ones though they might be useful too) we have found the dumbest person” dumb. Trump doesn’t believe that. Yes the Iranian terrorists wouldn’t take a nuke if we built it for them now. Right. Why is this happening? Hard to be precise. Doing this to appease the woke right whose ire you underestimated is just disgusting cowardice. Doing it to drive oil prices down before the midterms is grossly incompetent as you really didn’t know oil prices would soar? Really? Nobody in war planning knew that? That’s new information to you? And if you care about the midterms so much why’d you endorse the disgusting “disqualified in any rational world” (yes, along with Platner) Paxton in Texas putting it play? None of this makes any sense at all. Horrible. Just horrible.

Good lord, who believes this?

He has no clue. Just, none at all.

Everyone will have their take on the deal. Mine is kinda what you'd expect. 1. Trump caved. The early-May naval attempt to break the closure of Hormuz -- Project Freedom -- could have worked. He didn't give it a chance. 2. He may nevertheless have done the right thing from an American perspective. On the larger chessboard, the one where America is curtailing Chinese lines of influence and supply on all fronts, he's gotten everything he needs. Iran's nuclear program is also set back dramatically. And worrying about gas prices come November is an extremely valid concern for an American president. As I argued back in February, the US and Israel weren't fighting the same war. Roughly 80% of each side's war overlapped with the other's. But toward the end, their interests would diverge and America would bow out. And so it was. 3. Israel remains in the region, Hezbollah remains ensconced in Lebanon and committed to murdering us all, Iran remains the same muqawama regime it always was, committed to mass-murder and mass-sacrifice of its own people. The decades-long war between the muqawama ideology and the Jews of Israel continues. 4. Israelis owe the United States a vast and abiding debt of gratitude for what it has done to Iran's missile and nuclear programs. That this finished on America's timetable rather than ours, that it was doing it for its own interests and not ours, these don't diminish the fact that we received from America more than we had a right to ask for. 5. And still, #3 remains true. We fight on. Because that regime is undeterrable, actually wants to destroy us all, and like the Nasserist ideology that once sent army after army at us to destroy us, will require a few more wars and perhaps another decade or two to defeat completely. 6. The new IRGC military dictatorship now in charge in Iran is built to survive catastrophe. But not to govern, reform or build anything of value. Some commentators on the deal have suggested that the most damaging thing you could do to the Iranian regime at this point is send it back to its embittered people to try to govern the peace. I think they might be onto something. It'd be a much safer and happier and more peaceful region if the regime falls from within and a new and better day dawns for the long-suffering people of Iran.

The question, what will/can Netanyahu do? He has few D friends anymore and no R dare criticize Trump. Bibi’s failure to realize the new dynamic and his lack of influence has been remarkable In Israel, Broad Discontent Over the Emerging U.S. Deal With Iran nytimes.com/2026/06/14/world…

Quelle surprise.

True.

Hezbollah and its patron in Tehran continue to fire on Israel because it has strategized that President Trump would limit Israeli strikes in the Dahiyeh out of fear it would derail a peace deal with Iran. So far, this strategy has created the image that regional peace hinges on Israeli compliance to stop attacks against Hezbollah. When in reality, Iran and its proxies are the true danger to stability.

This would be awesome.

Of course.

How the hell is this ghoul still here?

Meet L.A.-based resident Dylan Keese-Forster. Dylan thinks it’s ok to cut down the Israeli flag at a private eatery, climbing on top of the bar to do it. This brazen vandalism and hate should never be tolerated.

. @SecRubio needs to get himself far away from the stench of this catastrophic failure of a deal immediately. I really like him but I can not support anyone associated with this shit show. This is truly a Chamberlain moment.

A must read by @LeeSmithDC. "Vance’s validator calls with the press, influencers, and think-tank experts constitute the centerpiece of his communications campaign, which is modeled after Obama’s Iran deal echo chamber but with one big difference. The Obama team set up its comms infrastructure to steamroll Iran deal opponents, like U.S. lawmakers, nuclear proliferation experts, Republican voters, and pro-Israel activists. Vance’s only audience is Trump. By generating positive articles, social media posts, and TV appearances celebrating Vance’s hard-fought progress in bending the Iranians to his will, the vice president is amassing evidence to show Trump that his supporters are 100% behind the president’s new policy of accommodating Iran, Obama’s policy"

To be clear: To disagree with the Iran war is NOT antisemitism To say those who support it are doing so for Israel IS antisemitism People can disagree about what is in America’s interests. When you say that those you disagree with are putting loyalty to Israel above loyalty to America you’re in the fever swamps
