No, we should not support countries involved in state-sponsered terrorism.
@9KRLW5F1mo1MO
Not the current administration, not until they stop invading and bombing Gaza, not until they support the settlers in the West Bank, not until they seek a solution that allows both peoples to live in peace.
At the same time, support for Hamas by countries and associations and collusion with it by UN departments and UNRWA should be countered
@9J3KYCR3mos3MO
Yes, but financial and military aid is not needed due to Israel's strong economy and army, meaning that this aid should go to Ukraine while keeping support for Israel limited to political support
@9F2DHJN7mos7MO
No, we should not support an illegal occupation and apartheid state
@9CJV6NF10mos10MO
No, cut all support and aid to Israel and all other Apartheid colonial regimes
@8TZ4M6T3yrs3Y
We should work to help solve the situation not just prop up this terrible administration for power and money

Iran has warned Israel it is likely to review its nuclear stance if its atomic facilities are threatened, as tensions rise following the Islamic republic’s weekend drone and missile attack on Israel.Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Thursday that Tehran may “reconsider” its nuclear policy, which it has long insisted is purely peaceful but which western powers say has put it on the threshold of becoming a weapons state.The warning was issued as the US and UK announced new sanctions on Iran’s drone programme in response to Saturday’s strike on Israel.“Reconsidering the nuclear doctrine and policies of the Islamic republic of Iran . . . is probable and imaginable, if the fake Zionist regime threatens to attack our country’s nuclear centres,” said Major General Ahmad Haq Talab, who oversees the security of Iran’s nuclear installations.His comments were published in the semi-official Tasnim news agency, which is affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, Iran’s most powerful military force.Regime hardliners have previously threatened that, during periods of heightened tensions with the west, Iran could withdraw from the non-proliferation treaty, which governs countries’ nuclear facilities. Haq Talab warned Israel that any aggression against Iran’s facilities would be reciprocated at Israel’s nuclear weapon sites — which the Jewish state has never acknowledged possessing.Israel has pledged to respond to last weekend’s Iranian attack, in which Tehran fired more than 300 missiles and drones.That assault prompted Washington on Thursday to announce sanctions on 16 individuals and two companies that aid the production of unmanned aerial vehicles, such as drones, in co-ordination with measures announced by the UK. “We are committed to acting collectively to increase economic pressure on Iran,” US President Joe Biden said, adding that his administration “will not hesitate to take all necessary action” to hold Tehran accountable.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused Israel of outdoing Adolf Hitler by killing 14,000 children in Gaza.Speaking to a meeting of his Justice and Development (AK) Party legislators in the Turkish parliament, Erdogan said that the Palestinian cause has given his life meaning, according to Anadolu news agency.“As long as God grants me life, I will continue to defend the struggle of Palestine, and will be the voice of the oppressed Palestinian people,” the Turkish leader said.“Israel has already outdone Hitler…We stood up and said Hamas is not a terrorist organization. It is a resistance group.”He also compared the struggle of Hamas to the Turkish war of independence (1919-1922) and reminded the MPs that he had stood up for the Palestinian militant group at the 2009 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.“When no one else would speak, we stood up and said: ‘Hamas is not a terrorist organization, but a resistance group.’ We presented maps at the UN showing how Israel has gradually occupied the lands of Palestine over the past 70 years,” he said.Erdogan accused Israel of committing massacres in both Gaza and the West Bank that are “marks of shame in human history,” with “unconditional support” from the West.

Russia’s permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzia has called on the United Nations to consider imposing sanctions on Israel over its non-compliance with obligatory resolutions passed by the Security Council.He noted that UNSC Resolution 2728 demanded a ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan, and this had not been implemented by Israel.“We remind you once again that non-compliance with mandatory Security Council resolutions must lead to sanctions against violators. We believe that the Council should consider this issue without delay,” Nebenzia said on Thursday during a UN Security Council meeting.French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne also called for sanctions on Israel earlier this month. In February, Paris sanctioned 28 Israeli nationals, though the French government has not published their names.The Hamas ceasefire resolution was adopted by the Security Council on March 25 in a vote of 14 in favor to none against, with the US abstaining. The document demanded a ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, and for humanitarian access to Gaza to be ensured.The delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza is nearly impossible at the moment, Nebenzia said, pointing to data from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which demonstrates that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are currently blocking half of the humanitarian convoys heading to the region.
