I don't think people have internalized the degree to which this "peace plan" is a declaration that the US no longer sees its role as outside mediator of Israel-Palestine conflict, but as active partisan, on behalf of a hardline rightwing Israeli position https://t.co/YwuHLh7cF7 — PolitiTweet.org

Wow: Trump’s Israel/Palestine deal includes a clause effectively absolving Israel from even its modest obligations, while entitling Israel to all of the spoils. In any realistic near-term scenario, Israel gets to permanently annex Palestinian land, Palestinians get nothing. https://t.co/YW6GbbSeXv — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s newsletter is on the 176 people killed on flight PS752, and the ethical ramifications of waging conflict — this or any conflict — with the knowledge that war’s greatest costs inevitably fall on civilians: The Calculus of Conflict With Iran https://t.co/LfmLGK8KnB — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, the Bush and Obama admins set extremely broad precedents for executive branch powers to kill in national self-defense. But it’s still generally against the law in America to kill people without proper legal justification, even you think those people really bad. — PolitiTweet.org

This is an important question, because if the goal of the strikes was to cripple of the military leadership of Iran, a country with which we are not at war, then it would arguably constitute an illegal assassination. — PolitiTweet.org

What the heck do I know, but wouldn't keeping US troops in Iraq, against Iraqi demands of withdrawal, constitute a hostile military occupation of an allied democracy? — PolitiTweet.org

America tells Iraq: we are not leaving @akhbar https://t.co/Km3AsvX6js
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
@MazMHussain Agreed, though one wonders what will happen when the US asks to return. Both sides will need to demand better terms for domestic political purposes, and Iran may reasonably feel it needs stronger protections from US unreliability. Doubt Euros will put up much fuss, though. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
@MazMHussain Suspect it’s a political calculation. Proponents know it’s unpopular, as any deal with Iran was always going to be, regardless of merit. So holding it up as *the* alternative to Trump’s approach could backfire politically. And the JCPOA itself is likely dead, so what’s the point? — PolitiTweet.org

Yet more indication that Iran deliberately telegraphed this attack: they came right out and said they were likely to target nearby US bases with medium-range missiles. https://t.co/0JMJZSZeqU — PolitiTweet.org

Ali Shamkhani had telegraphed this. https://t.co/j0yvqAZn4S https://t.co/7Nwg2Cldjh

Given the high likelihood that such a message would be intercepted by the Americans, or even relayed, this feels like more suggestion that Iran deliberately telegraphed the strikes https://t.co/iVIb3nuGzt — PolitiTweet.org

Reports on Saturday that Iran was mobilizing missile forces — something Iran would know was visible — suggests Iran may have telegraphed the attack, giving the US a chance to prepare & prevent unintended spiral. Here’s hoping DoD took the hint & folks at Al-Asad airbase are safe. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
@evanchill @AOstovar Everyone telling me I'm being too wishful is absolutely correct, but fwiw Iran visibly mobilizing their missile forces in advance does feel like a mark in favor of telegraphed yes — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
The best-case scenario was always that Iran launched a retaliation: — symbolically significant enough that it could move on — limited enough in damage that the US could shrug it off — with no loss of life, civilian or military Here’s hoping that’s what this is. — PolitiTweet.org
