Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, May 22, 2026

The unconstitutional US war against the people of Iran on behalf of Israel has not only killed at least 3,636 people, but has become an environmental disaster in the Middle East, as well as an economic catastrophe for the West. The unlawful aggression has produced emissions equivalent to a year of Iceland's carbon output-- more than 5m tons of CO2 generated in just the first two weeks of the war-- and the IMF warns that a recession will soon engulf Europe if US and Israeli hostilities against Iran continues.

The War Against Iran is Costing the Israeli Taxpayer Far Less than the American Taxpayer

Since Oct 2023, the peace loving, hardworking American taxpayer has sent at least $21.7 billion in military aid to Israel, which covers the $11.5bn cost of Benjamin Netanyahu's attack against the people, economy, infrastructure, and environment of Iran.

Greenpeace warns the barbaric US and Israeli onslaught will leave a toxic legacy in Iran, damaging the systems that make life possible, including water networks, sewage plants, farmland, ports, fuel depots, and electricity infrastructure, leaving polluted air, contaminated soil, and unsafe water long after their offensive ends.

Since the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza and AIPAC were not responsible for Kamala Harris' loss on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024-- per the released version of the DNC autopsy report-- Democrats on drudge.com and nationwide-- should have no worries in future elections and hence no reason to insult "the idiot progressives."

The eight to ten million "idiot progressives" in the antiwar movement have been identified as irrelevant and so the Democrats will do fine without them on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026 and future elections.

So, why besmirch them?

These Samaritans have a First Amendment right to express their opinions in the US-- on blogs like drudge.com-- and elsewhere.

*Killfile* them if you don't care for their opinions.

People on drudge.com have considered me a waste of bandwidth and *Killfiled* me.

As I kept saying ...

Line Up.

I got more plonks than you.

I'm not as good at shading things. Too Blunt.

I agree with you on most things even if that's a Tainted Love.

Antisemitism is a Powerful Accusation, used to Shut Up and Shame people who are often not Classically Antisemitic, or Antisemitic at all,..Just Outraged by Privileged Violence that Punches DOWN.

Violence that can't Even be Named.

Because that "Upsets" the Criminals.

Their "Feelings" are more Important than Other's Lives.

Now That's Privilege.
