Iran Reportedly Warns Apple is Among Potential Targets

Its both. It's propaganda in the form of a meme from a government that slaughtered 40,000 of their own people simply for protesting. Weird place to cheer on, but go for it.
The gulf states are all shut down anyway so Apple, take a break.
That's what happens when u depend wholly on the U.S. to protect you to find out their iron dome not so effective.

The word I use to describe the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel is “retaliation.” That’s because before that attack, from January 1, 2023 to October 6, 2023, Israel killed 247 Palestinians, the vast majority of whom were civilians.

I just don't know how much more evidence a thinking person needs to see this guy is unfit. In just the last week or two, Trump:
- Got caught on video saying the federal government can't take care of children or health care because we need to fight wars. WH took it down....but we know what we saw.
- Threatened to destroy a civilization
- TACO'ed
- Sent the VP to campaign for a foreign leader
- Sent the same inept VP, son-in-law and realtor buddy to handle sensitive peace negotiations
- Attended an MMA fight during these negotiations
- Blockaded a blockade
- Attacked and insulted the Pope
- Posted a photo portraying himself as Jesus. WH took it down....but we know what we saw!
BTW - I was a registered Republican for almost 40 years before this clown came along.
BTW BTW - Get ready for a $200B budget supplement in 2026 to cover the cost of the War, and a $1,500B defense budget for 2027....that's 70% increase over what we spent in 2024.

In a couple years, Trump's term will end.
If we are still here.
Then we can start a new chapter on MR.
Presenting the next sociopath to hold the office: President Gavin Newsom. 🤢
A slightly different flavor of drunk than Officer Harris, but in keeping with the trend of absurd insanity we have grown to expect over the last decade. 🇺🇸

Think there is an anti-Semitic alternate reality of world events pervasive in this forum. There is no doubt the conflict is complicated but hamas didn’t have to come in and sexually violate some Israelis regardless if some believe the attack was warranted or not.
Semites are Arabs, Jews, Amhara, Tigrayan, Assyrians, and Maltese. Semites are those, who speak semite languages.

But it’s ok if Israel does it?
Claims of torture, ill-treatment, and sexual violence against detained Palestinians by Israel, have been made before the 7 October attacks and invasion of Gaza, with documentation recorded by the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel and Amnesty International.

Also applies when people put forth the "semite" argument as if the term "anti-semite" has an ambiguous meaning and may refer to something other than "Jew hatred," the widely accepted definition of the term across the world. I would be very hard pressed to identify anyone using that term to refer to hatred against Amhara, Tigrayan, Assyrians, and Maltese.
But to argue that hostilities started on January 1, 2023, is not only nonfactual, it relies on an illogical premise called Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc, which completely ignores Hamas's unrelenting terrorist activities against Israel for over 20 years (justified by ts founding charter no less), and more proximate missile attacks against Israeli population centers starting in 2021, among other things.
So, yes, in the absense of rational argument, I think there is plenty room to point to "Jew hatred" as an underlying rational explanantion -- especially with its long history and ugly history in Europe and the Arab world.

The first sentence has the word “reportedly”. I stopped reading after that.

And? Everything Israel claims is also “reportedly”. Or…do you just accept what they say as absolute fact?

Much like how it was "reportedly" that America had won the war, when in fact it had strategically lost and was forced to sue for a ceasefire. Likewise, there is a blockade of a blockade that cannot sustain itself.
I for one don’t see any good guys involved in this war.
No. More accurate to say that people who say "zionist" really mean "Jewish". Anti-semitism is out of control and is excused too much.
I replaced the word “Palestinians” with “Israelis”. The first sentence has the word “allege” in it.
Just admit both sides behave atrociously.
