War, Political Economy, and Palestine | Al-Shabaka
Diana Buttu and Adam Hanieh to analyze what this moment reveals about the architecture of the US empire and the regional order being remade in real time
"To counter this insidious attempt at #Nakba memoricide by U.S. politicians and others, it is instructive to review the archives of U.S. diplomats stationed in #Palestine and surrounding Arab countries who witnessed the Nakba unfold and reported back to the #StateDepartment on the magnitude and gravity of #Israel’s dispossession of Palestine’s indigenous inhabitants." - #JoshRuebner

Five things the United States knew about the Nakba as it unfolded - Middle East Institute
"The US actually understood quite early on that the partition plan as proposed by #UNSCOP was not workable and not feasible [...] The US did more than think about going back on partition. In March 1948 [...] the US actually proposed in the Security Council that an international trusteeship be appointed for #Palestine instead of partition." - #JoshRuebner

Economic Warfare w/ Aslı Bâli, Esfandyar Batmanghelidj, Nicholas Mulder
Featuring Aslı Bâli, Esfandyar Batmanghelidj, and Nicholas Mulder on the economic warfare unfolding with the US-Israeli war on Iran—and beyond.
"There has perhaps never been a conflict anticipated by American and Israeli warmongers in this degree of detail, or for longer. [...] It is within reason to assume that the current joint operations against #Iran—dubbed Epic Fury—are one of the maximalist options from a long series of both individual and joint war plans whose specific pedigree go back to at least the 1990s."

Clinging to a Scheme | Josef Burton
What is happening in Iran right now is the defining morbid system of an undead American empire.
"What is at stake in this confrontation is the future of the entire region [...] Arab political elites have been so thoroughly subordinated that they stood idly by, or even aided and abetted, as #Israel slaughtered Palestinians by the tens of thousands, which gives some sense of what they hope to accomplish in #Iran."

Good 🧵 by Sam Sacks about the already much hyped resignation of #JoeKent.
Worth bearing in mind Kent's record in case he starts getting marketed as some kind of peacenik and making the rounds of podcasts à la Ray McGovern and Scott Ritter (who lots of "left" folk credulously package as "peaceniks" too...)

@SamSacks: The claim here is that neocons in the two most recent Republican Presidential administrations were simply deceived by Israel into going to war in Iraq, Syria, and now Iran, which is not accurate at all. I...…
