Latest Deconstructed is a must listen.

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, who served as chief of staff to then-Secretary of State Colin Powell during the run-up to the Iraq War, joins Mehdi Hasan to discuss the lessons of recent history.

Oh yeah, that RT lady. Does she work for a Qatar or Iranian sponsored media outfit these days?

So Netanyahu is probably finished, and Israel is headed towards a more secular government and has a good chance of having a prime minister who rejects militant nationalism.

[McParadigm]

Also, Netanyahu turned up the racism towards the Arab population in the last legs of the election, producing massive Arab turnout and...an Arab party that has enough seats to be included in head of state visits and influence legislation.

[McParadigm]

Worth noting to Republicans that Net’s emphasis on racial panic and extreme nationalism galvanized his opponents as much as his own base, and won nobody new over at all. In fact it’s probably why he’s so much worse off today than he was before the election.

I also wonder what this does for our war with Iran, seeing how the coalition was just Saudi Arabia, Israel, and a very flaky Donald Trump.

Come to think of it, depending on how the leadership ends up, this could really screw with the whole “Christian Fetishism for Israel” thing that made Trump’s friendship with Netanyahu lucrative for him politically.

LOLLLLLLLL

Tucker Carlson vs Nikki Haley and Lindsey Graham is the weirdest timeline, but I'm glad this conversation is being had.

Bonus points for mentioning Haley gets a fat paycheck from Boeing.
