Vance: Iran Has Rejected US Peace Terms After 21 Hours of Negotiating in Pakistan
Netanyahu Says War With Iran is ‘Not Yet Over’
“Mr. Netanyahu’s allies have said that Mr. Vance’s statement indicated that the United States and Israel were closely aligned on their conditions for a cease-fire.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/world/middleeast/netanyahu-israel-iran-war.html
As I have pointed out, there can be no peace in the Middle East until Israel abandons the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel.
Notice that VP Vance said Iran has rejected the US terms, not that the US has rejected Iran’s terms. So much for Trump’s statement that he accepted Iran’s 10 points as a basis for negotiation. Trump merely seized on Iran’s 10 points as an off-ramp from his threat to destroy Iranian civilization, which he cannot do unless he uses nukes.
Israel has declared that “Turkey is the next Iran.” Currently Israel is bombing Lebanese civilians. After Turkey Saudi Arabia will be next.
It is amazing that Iran gave Trump a ceasefire and time to load up. Iran’s failure to push forward with its military success will mean more Iranian deaths and destruction.
Meanwhile Israel continues to attack Christians:
And the American “Christian Zionists” continue to support Israel.

“Israeli Settlers” say they, not Trump’s resort, are taking over Gaza:
“The people in Gaza are generally terrorists or terrorist supporters and they don’t deserve to live there,” says Neri Abraham, an articulate 19-year-old with ringlets and a knitted kippah as he gestures across the fields to the Gaza fence and the ruins beyond.
“The good ones can stay if they like and live peacefully under Israeli rule but the rest should go to Egypt. And the terrorists? Well, they are terrorists and I don’t care what happens to them,” he adds.
Mr Abraham and his colleagues are “religious Zionists” and are the vanguard of a new and radical social movement sweeping Israeli politics and its institutions.
They are dedicated to the creation of a greater Israel – one which encompasses not just Gaza and the West Bank, but the Golan Heights and parts of southern Lebanon too. [Greater Israel consists of the entirety of the Middle East–“from the Nile to Pakistan.” It formerly was “from the Nile to the Euphrates,” but has been expanded to include the entirety of the Middle East.]
“Israel is moving towards a general election in October and the ruling coalition led by Benjamin Netanyahu will be looking for any excuse it can find to upend the Gaza peace process.
“Like the Iran ceasefire, it is seen as something imposed on Israel by the US and many Israelis – such as the religious Zionists – see annexation as a better option.
“At the inauguration of a new settlement in the West Bank this week, Mr Smotrich provocatively set this vision for a greater Israel.
“There will be expansion in Gaza that will extend our borders. In Lebanon, to the Litani, in Syria, Mount Hermon, parts of the north, south and east,” he told the gathered crowd.
“This is no longer a fringe view in Israel. Roughly 22 per cent of the Jewish population in Israel identify with the religious Zionist movement and support its settlement ambitions.”

This is the original Zionist definition of Greater Israel–“from the Nile to the Euphrates.” https://paulcraigroberts.org/greater-israel-defined/
“Turkey is the next Iran”–Former Israeli Prime Minister Bennett
On 17 February 2026, former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett, speaking at the Conference of Presidents of American Jewish Organizations, declared: “A new Turkish threat is emerging. Turkey is the new Iran.” He launched the demonization of Turkey, warning that President Erdoğan is “sophisticated, dangerous, and… seeks to encircle Israel.” We will soon be hearing this from the Israeli-American MIGA movement. It won’t be long before dumbshit Americans are wringing their hands over the “Turkish threat.” https://paulcraigroberts.org/turkey-is-the-next-iran/

Migrants jailed for making over 100 hoax 999 calls – including ‘baby on train tracks’
Two men have been convicted after making more than 100 hoax 999 calls across the West Midlands, United Kingdom, costing an estimated £100,000 in wasted emergency resources. Shahid Khan, 31, and Zaynul Shaffi, 44, made 122 bogus calls over 78 days in 2024 and 2025, using different phones and accents to avoid detection. They falsely claimed serious incidents including shootings, murders and abandoning a baby on railway tracks, prompting large scale emergency responses. Shaffi was jailed for three years at Birmingham Crown Court on April 7, while Khan was found to have committed the acts but will be sentenced at a later date.
If you stand up against jew interests you are “antisemitic” — EVEN THOUGH jews are NOT semitic!!!
If you fight against jew interests you are a “terrorist” — EVEN THOUGH the illegal entity referred to as “israel” is THE LEADING source of all terrorism in the world.
A new video from House of El says for the first time in 30 years central banks are holding more gold reserves than US dollars. El says this isn’t just because of the Iran War in which Trump didn’t consult his allies then complains they won’t help him out, but it’s now risky to hold dollars which can be inflated away through money creation and other manipulations like sanctions and tariffs.
US dollar weaponisation led to this worldwide de-dollarisation.
It’s a sick world that allows a mentally deranged psycho to commit evil acts that not only involve unspeakable acts of genocide but which threaten global peace.
What does that say then for all the perverted MAGA so-called ”Christians” cheering him on, making a mockery of their own religion or even the opposition parties that have not acted responsibly to remove him from Office?
Iran should stop playing around with their fake bargaining tactics. Their leaders ought to take the high road of higher values. Put the nuclear nonsense, and issues regarding sanctions and who controls the Straight, on the back burner. FIRST demand that all sides come to an agreement on an “Up-ramp” mainly for both the US and Iran, which will provide a real basis of settling all other differences in the region. The following is NOT a NWO “globalist” solution, but simply one in which that both nations first abide by the 1945 and 1948 UN conventions on sovereignty and human rights – to which all these nations have, in any case, BINDED themselves. Regarding justice to Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, etc,, and sovereignty & human rights abuses, of course, Israel will have to give up more for all of their crimes and atrocities, but that is the ONLY way to establish a firm basis of trust in the region, and what IN FACT the overwhelming majority of the people of the entire world ACTUALLY WANT. At least the Iranians should make that position known to the world right in the faces of all of these Zionist shills representing the US and the rest of the West.
Fred B — Maybe Iran and the UN and other bodies have made those things clear, but that news is not allowed in our media. Political news unfavorable to the West only comes out when it is leaked by some brave person risking ‘suicide’. A zillion times, I have seen that kind of news and realized how some particular scandal or evil was developing and going on behind our backs; we didn’t pick up or even notice the clues. Real journalism weakened and died 1940-1970. Now it’s all either propaganda or (often indecent) entertainment.
