TACO: Trump Always Corrupted Overall
The ceasefire concluded between Iran and the United States is a good thing. The reasons for its conclusion, however, are instructive — to put it charitably.
Are we supposed to congratulate Trump for agreeing to a ceasefire in the war he himself provoked — solely for the benefit of the State of Israel — and for negotiating on the basis of the ten points imposed by Iran, as instructed by that Lebanese-Australian influencer based in Dubai, Mario Nawfal?
What do they take us for — a bunch of prairie dogs?
The war launched by Israel and the United States is illegal. It is the first and gravest of all war crimes — a crime against peace, the very cornerstone of the Nuremberg Statutes.
The NATO Treaty — read it, it takes five minutes — likewise prohibits wars of choice and aggression. Preamble and Article 1.
The threats issued by Marco Rubio and the Trump administration — because Spain, the United Kingdom and France have refused the use of their airspace for the United States to obliterate Iran in service of Israel’s messianic delusions and to guarantee that insignificant speck its regional supremacy — are null and void. Legally, morally, and strategically: void.
This war serves neither the Iranian people nor the American people. The toxic relationship between the United States and Israel — built on corruption and blackmail — will have to change. Israel itself will have to change, profoundly and irreversibly, and will need to undergo a process of “de-messianization” equivalent to the denazification of post-war Germany. Without it, Israel will soon cease to exist. And Israel must be denuclearized under international supervision, to guarantee any durable regional balance.
As for those of our fellow French citizens who defend Israel tooth and nail and actively support the war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated in Gaza — and let us call it what it is: a genocide — in the West Bank, in Lebanon, in Syria and in Iran: the question of their loyalty arises squarely under Article 23-7 of the Civil Code1, given that they conduct themselves, in practice, as nationals of a foreign power.
Let them make their aliyah and hand back their French passport.
To legislate in France on behalf of a foreign state is an act of treason.
