🚨 Iran. Several signals converged this weekend: President @realDonaldTrump left Camp David a day early without explanation, Prime Minister @netanyahu cut his US visit to hours, and @StateDept issued a security alert for 11 posts. Do they point to renewed strikes on Iran? 🧵 1/9
📷 1/8 Michigan State's Muslim Studies Program turned 20 on Friday. Its founding coordinator told the room that "it was not Islam that motivated the attacks" of 9/11. @michiganstateu gave him a plaque and a $50,000 endowment in his name. Nobody pushed back.

7/8 Contrast @dartmouth, where Jewish Studies and Middle Eastern Studies co-teach Difficult Conversations on the Middle East (@jdforward, Sept 18). Not a perfect model, but it admits a debate exists. Michigan State celebrated 20 years of having settled it. forward.com/news/850988/dart…
8/8 @meforum's @CampusWatchMEF has tracked Middle East studies programs since 2002. The pattern holds: founded to answer a crisis, they harden around their first answer. Michigan State is a clean case. Twenty years, one answer, now endowed.
Those indicators carried more weight in February, when the force had to deploy from the United States. Today the blockade fleet, a carrier air wing and Gulf-based tankers are already in position. A limited strike on Natanz or IRGC naval facilities requires no visible buildup. 8/9
Didn't #Qatar's shill in London @andreas_krieg, once upon a time serve as a delegate for the @WorldJewishCong, study for one of his degrees at an unabashedly Israeli institution, @LauderSchool_RU, and attend Zionist educational events hosted by @StandWithUs? #jiujitsu #receipts
"Both Israel and Qatar are key protagonists in shaping US discourse and policy on the Middle East - on diametrically opposed sides of the spectrum.
Their strategic cultures correlate with neo-cons in the case of Israel and with MAGA in the case of Qatar. Israel looks at a region in a zero-sum fashion, and retribution. Qatar is looking at the region in more win-win, pragmatic terms.
Israel and the neo-cons have failed strategically on Iran while Qatar and MAGA have been right on restraint. As neo-cons fail they will attack Qatar to distract from its own failings."

So what you’re really saying is that your UN ambassador is just off brand or off message… is this antisemitism @hmmm1983?
