Rethinking self-importance in a time of social and ecological collapse
Across cultures, practices that limit ego and hierarchy help sustain cooperation and trust. In an era of cascading crises, rediscovering these “social technologies” could strengthen community resilience and collective action.

At its core, this is an Israeli war - not an 'Israeli-American' one. Israel’s war against American public opinion is no less pernicious than its bombing of Iranian civilians, infrastructure, oil refineries and heritage sites.

Don't be fooled: This war is not only US versus Iran, it's Israel against America
While most Americans oppose this war, the overwhelming majority of Israelis support it. At its core, this is an Israeli war - not an 'Israeli-American' one

❝ Mr. America's threat to destroy another civilization has been averted for now. But Israel is cleverer than U.S. President Donald Trump; it has been conducting annihilation and destruction in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria without the world rearing up to stop it. ❞ — AMIRA HASS

Biden’s support for the genocide in Gaza wasn’t just a moral catastrophe, it was also a political disaster. The evidence keeps piling up. Rep. Jayapal is right to tell the truth. More members of Congress should stand up and say it.
I warned Biden and Harris directly: Our silence on Gaza was morally, legally, and politically wrong.

We were told it wasn't in the data. That wasn't strategy – it was risk aversion dressed up as wisdom.

Democrats cannot make that same mistake again this midterm season.

People on X have analyzed the White House justification for the Iran War and discovered it was lifted almost word-for-word from a paper compiled by the “Foundation for Defense of Democracies” (FDD). The FDD is a DC pro-Israel advocacy group with ties to the Israeli government.
Stephen McIntyre @
@ClimateAudit
X.com
The most definitive White House statement purporting to justify the Israel-US war on Iran was its March 2, 2026 statement entitled "The Iranian
Regime's Decades of Terrorism against
American Citizens".
whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/..
After a brief editorial opening, the article lists 44 incidents with a total of
992 US deaths. The source of the data wasn't given. Where did it come from?
Unlike the Iraq war or the Russia collusion allegation, the reporting didn't come from an intelligence assessment, flawed or otherwise.It turns out that the list was plagiarized by the White House from a June 19, 2025 list (fdd.org/analysis/2025/..) prepared by a former AIPAC employee (Tzvi Kahn) for a think tank (FDD) founded "to provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America". The think tank's original identity was "EMET (Hebrew for
'truth')". The June 19, 2025 publication was literally on the eve of the first US bombing of Iran on June 21, 2025.
In this thread, I'll compare each and every item in the White House statement to the corresponding item in the original list by the former AIPAC employee. The list is virtually identical.
Any slight changes are always in the change of ratcheting up the underlying allegation.
