News and Analysis (12/27/25)

Settler violence and Israeli war crimes continue: As "the strike was fully supported by the Muslim president of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and coordinated with the federal military ... Trump’s attempt to configure the action as a Christian strike in defense of Christians (for his Evangelical base) is a stretch": Israel plans for "the military to respond forcefully in the [assailant's] West Bank town" but not in the town of the "Israeli army reservist in civilian clothes [who] rammed his vehicle into a Palestinian man praying on the roadside" a day earlier: "[T]he logic of the mission is cyclical: if Iran can rebuild, Israel will be asked to strike again. The country risks drifting into a doctrine of permanent maintenance war—'mowing the grass,' now at regional scale—every time intelligence indicates the regrowth is underway" ... ... and "[t]he US president’s base opposes intervention in Iran while pro-Israel donors and hawks push for heightened US involvement" ... ... although Trump himself doesn't seem to share his base's commitment to anti-interventionist principles: For the colonizer, "the veil is coercion by default, while coercing its removal is recorded as liberation. My voice, needless to say, is unwelcome in this business of liberation, because confronting it would require meeting the hollowness of the questioner": The Zionist war on free speech -- and the resistance -- continues: "Homs, a multidenominational city with large Alawite neighborhoods in the south, has grappled with violent episodes for most of the last year": “The current escalation—ranging from strikes and assassinations to political pressure, economic and financial strangulation, and internal incitement—aims to drive Lebanon and its army into internal strife and confrontation with the resistance and to force Hezbollah into retreat or surrender" -- Sheikh Daamoush: "[T]he Snow Brown name actually came from a right-wing troll. One of the comments was, Cinder Allia? What's next, Snow Brown?"
