In case you are wondering why the private contractors building warehouse torture camps for ICE don't seem especially concerned about litigation over human rights violations

Oman warns Iran is "not the only target" in a plan to "reshape the region" Iran has threatened to set oil and gas infrastructure in the Middle East β€œon fire” if its energy sites are attacked. Follow live updates.

Oman's foreign minister, who attempted to shame the US into not entering a war of aggression, says that the goals of US-Israeli war on Iran are not limited to weakening Iran, but also the Gulf states and anyone supportive of Palestinians.

Calls on GCC to reconsider security arrangements.

hey you fucking moron it was a run up to an election year at a pivot point in an attempt to change a theoretically receptive democratic administration doing a genocide, so yeah, they had, unfortunately, too high hopes for those in charge who ultimately let them down.

AIPAC’s Attack on the Liberal Zionists Why is the lobby targeting liberal supporters of Israel?

Pretty good piece by the eminent Alex Kane on how AIPAC has, in many ways, trained its ire more deeply and intensely on the Israel-critical yet still Israel-supportive liberal Jews of the Democratic Party than it has on Tlaib or Omar or AOC et al.

ICE Tried To Turn This Minneapolis Teacher Into An Informant Brandon Siguenza was detained for doing legal-observer work. ICE's real interest was in generating snitches. PLUS: Mojtaba Khamanei isn't surrendering

"He was vaguely saying things like, 'Really, I can help you out. I can do things for you. ...If you could, you know, give me the names of protest organizers, maybe I can help you out.'" Inside an ICE effort to generate snitches.

Tweet from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:
Justice has been done.

I welcome the decision of the Chief Military Prosecutor, Major General Itai Ofir, to close the Sde Teiman cases against IDF soldiers and to cancel the indictment against them.

This trial was born in sin by the previous Military Advocate General, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal investigation methods, and I am glad that justice has been done and the trial has been canceled.

The role of the IDF's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas.

I am convinced that the decision will lead to a new path.

@oelayat 

Mufti Naomi Wolf has consulted the sacred texts (Google Al Overview) and issued her fatwa

quote tweeting 
Dr. Naomi Wolf @naomirwolf

I asked Al, "Can you wear a crop top for Iftar?" As Rama Duwaji is doing:

Al Overview
It is generally advised not to wear a crop top for Iftar. Ramadan is a time for modesty and respect, requiring covered shoulders and knees. Crop tops, which expose the midriff, are considered too revealing for traditional, public, or family Iftar gatherings. Opt for modest, loose, or flowing, comfortable clothing. 

It is super rude by the way, in observant Muslim norms, for the hostess to reveal her midriff at an Iftar celebration in the presence of men who are not her husband and in the presence of Mahmoud Khalil's wife, who is veiled as is far more religiously customary.

In DC comics there is a character named Jenny Sparks, and her superpower is to be the living embodiment of the 20th century with all of its complexities, progress, and setbacks. This is what Adrian Chiles is to me, he is the living complicated and triumphant spirit of Great Britain
