This week, Joe Kent resigned as “National Counterterrorism Center Director,” a position directly under Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s Director of National Intelligence. Kent said, “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.” Unfortunately, thousands of progressives began spreading this quote approvingly.
From the Revcoms, on the U.S.-Israeli War Against Iran
The world’s attention may be focused on the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, but Israel’s U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza hasn’t stopped.
Palestinians are still being starved and needlessly dying due to Israel’s criminal blockade of food, medicine and other needed supplies. Meanwhile, Israeli tank shells recently killed three people in a tent camp for displaced people and wounded ten more, including children. Their missiles have killed people in markets and slaughtered people in villages. On March 15 alone, the Israelis killed 12 Gazans, including two children and a pregnant woman.
Israel isn’t just murdering civilians and destroying vital means of survival in Iran. It has seized on the war to launch a preplanned assault on Lebanon—not to “protect Israel,” but to implement the “Gaza Model,” in Lebanon. What does this mean? It means the total devastation, seizure, and occupation of Lebanese towns and territory south of the Litani River—some 8-10 percent of Lebanon’s territory. And it means incalculable death and devastation across all Lebanon.

On February 24, Trump gave his annual State of the Union address.
Many anti-Trump commentators (gleefully) deemed the speech a “failure” because “it won’t improve Trump’s falling poll numbers” in advance of the midterm elections this November. And they argued that he advanced few “policy proposals” that would provide legislative reforms for the deep problems gripping the U.S. (and the world).
