Israel-Firsters Laura Loomer and Mark Levin: Loudest Insane Voices Pushing Donald Trump to Launch Nuclear Weapons.
Article republished by Jerry Alatalo | April 15, 2026
(Source: IsraelPalestineNews.org)
[Editor’s note: Harrison Berger writes: “More recently, Israel-firsters like Laura Loomer and Mark Levin were the loudest voices pushing Trump toward escalation and cheering him on as he threatened civilizational annihilation. Loomer, whom Trump reportedly solicits for advice, called on him to channel Curtis LeMay, the general whose fanatical bloodlust inspired Dr. Strangelove and who came within a hair of igniting nuclear war. Levin, for his part, arguably insinuated on his Fox News television show that dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran would be justified.” … Please share this information far and wide, and please feel free to share your thoughts/responses in the comments. Thank you very much. Peace.]

We Are the Barbarians
Iran continues to face airstrikes from Israel and the US (screenshot)
The president’s threat to annihilate Iranian civilization took America to a dark place.
By Harrison Berger, Reposted from The American Conservative, April 10, 2026
On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to declare that “a civilization will die tonight.” By 8 p.m., the U.S. announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran had begun. Whether the ceasefire holds (or even takes hold) is already in question—Iran and the U.S. appear to be offering contradictory accounts of what the 10-point plan they allegedly agreed to actually says.
The best hope that it might stick comes from Israel, where TV presenters who spent Monday salivating over a clock counting down the minutes and hours until Trump’s planned genocide of Iranians were left confused and outraged when the president backed down shortly before the deadline.
But whether or not Trump ultimately goes as far as the Israelis would like him to, Americans must now reckon with the destruction already carried out in our name, the civilization-destroying actions Trump has threatened, and the barbarians we have become in the process.
As Tucker Carlson, the most prominent critic of the war with Iran, pointed out in his viral monologue Monday, there was very little that was American or Western about Trump’s threat to destroy an entire civilization. That is not to say the U.S. government hasn’t committed serious crimes before, including wars of aggression. As a study published in The Lancet, a scientific journal, found, U.S. and European sanctions have killed 38 million people since 1971. But those shameful actions were at least concealed behind a pretext, not declared outright as the objective itself.
Though it may seem like a distinction without a difference, Carlson convincingly argues it matters significantly. By abandoning even the aspiration of higher laws, we have embraced the “law of the jungle,” which is “a brutal and unforgiving law” that will not stop at Iran’s borders. “We know from history that the things you do will be done unto you,” Carlson said. “Once you set a standard, you will have to live by that standard.”
Indeed, Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization was not an expression of American values but the purest expression, and logical endpoint, of an ideology the United States has attached itself to under both Joe Biden and now Trump: Zionism and the Greater Israel project, first through U.S. support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank, and most recently through the joint war of aggression against Iran.
And while the American taxpayers forced to fund those wars are told they are fought on our behalf to save “civilization,” it is now impossible to think of any force in recent history more destructive and threatening to civilization than the Greater Israel project—which wages an ISIS-style campaign to destroy every artifact, center of knowledge, and source of beauty in the region, and does so with American weapons, American service members, and American money.
The record of what has already been destroyed provides evidence that the U.S. and Israel wish to do exactly to Iran what ISIS and its various backers did to Syria. According to Iran’s minister of cultural heritage, U.S. and Israeli strikes have damaged more than 131 historical sites across the country including museums, palaces, and UNESCO-listed landmarks, with the heaviest losses in Tehran.
Among the centuries-old structures destroyed by U.S.–Israeli bombs is Iran’s Golestan Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site; the Chehel Sotoun pavilion in Isfahan, a 17th-century monument from the Safavid period; the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, one of the architectural jewels of the Islamic world; and the Fin Garden in Kashan, one of Iran’s oldest surviving gardens which dates to the late 16th century.
Dozens of universities and research centers have been struck, including the Iran University of Science and Technology, Isfahan University of Technology, and Sharif University of Technology, “Iran’s MIT,” whose computer science center was reduced to rubble. A Tehran synagogue was also struck on Passover.
Our descent into barbarism has long been in the making, and the fingerprints all over that transformation are recognizably Israeli. One of the earliest signs of our transition came when the “War Department” began posting drone strike footage, often as memes, on social media. Where the government once prosecuted WikiLeaks and scrambled to conceal its war footage out of embarrassment, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon now shamelessly publishes such imagery on its own initiative, a direct import from Israel, which pioneered the model of broadcasting its own war crimes during the assault on Gaza.
More recently, Israel-Firsters like Laura Loomer and Mark Levin were the loudest voices pushing Trump toward escalation and cheering him on as he threatened civilizational annihilation. Loomer, whom Trump reportedly solicits for advice, called on him to channel Curtis LeMay, the general whose fanatical bloodlust inspired Dr. Strangelove and who came within a hair of igniting nuclear war. Levin, for his part, arguably insinuated on his Fox News television show that dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran would be justified.
Whether or not the ceasefire holds, Americans will have to reckon with what has already been done in our name, and with the fact that the Israel-Firsters who cheered every escalation have not been removed from their positions of influence. They remain right in the president’s ear, defining not just his second term but the international symbol of destruction and barbarism we are in the process of becoming.

Since #Hiroshima in 1945, we've lived under the shadow of #NuclearWar disaster.
Despite decades of #activism and disarmament progress, nuclear powers are now rearming, testing terrifying new weapons, and backing out of treaties.
The #DoomsdayClock is at 89 seconds to midnight. It’s not too late—but only if the public steps up again to demand #disarmament and real global security. #NuclearDisarmament

This man survived #Hiroshima bombing - and has a stark warning for us all
Eighty years since the bombing of Hiroshima, survivor #ToshiyukiMimaki says the world now faces its "most dangerous" era.
Helen-Ann Smith
Wednesday 6 August 2025"Toshiyuki Mimaki is exhausted when we meet him.
"The 83-year-old sinks into his chair, closes his eyes, and asks us to keep it brief.
"But then he starts talking, and his age seems to melt away with the power of his stories.
"He is a survivor of Hiroshima's #AtomicBomb, a lifelong advocate for #NuclearDisarmament and, as of last year, a Nobel Peace Prize winner
"But now, on the 80th anniversary of the bombing, he comes with more than just memories - he has a message, and it is stark.
"Right now is the most dangerous era," he says.
" '#Russia might use it [a nuclear weapon], #NorthKorea might use it, #China might use it.
"And President #Trump - he's just a huge mess.
" 'We've been appealing and appealing, for a world without war or nuclear weapons - but they're not listening.' "

In the gap between the 80th anniversary of the first nuclear bomb’s detonation (16 July) and its first use (6 August), it’s an appropriate time to listen to “In the shadow of the bomb”, broadcast by the world service for the 50th anniversary in 1995 and now available on iPlayer.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p03978lx
It is a good programme but with hindsight horribly complacent and rather self satisfied that “it’s the 90s, we’re done with that now and heading the right way”.
Remember that there are still enough nuclear weapons to end humanity several times over, on “hair trigger” alert that makes it miraculous that we have survived the last 80 years and by accident as much as design we may not survive the next: the certainty is lower than that of climate change but the impact far greater. On top of which treaties are lapsing and while the wider world community disavows nuclear weapons the nuclear armed states are renewing and increasing their stocks.The only sane course of action is worldwide nuclear disarmament, so why not mark this anniversary with a letter to remind your government of this, and if there’s an anniversary event on 6 or 9 August near you and you’re able to do so wander along to show your sanity.

@chowderman
Thank you. The article states that when they are retired (most are still in service), they will have served over 40 years. I hope compelling MPs to discuss the matter will force them to quantify that cost of refurbishment and associated training, and where that money gets spent (probably mostly in the UK), and weigh that up against the benefit it would confer to Ukraine, and the other spending options that might compete for that money. I understand we're committing 5% of GDP on defence spending. I'd love to see it spent in the UK. If these vehicles are going to be scrapped, and if so doing it is economical, I would like to see them turned to scrap on the battlefield, protecting the lives (and sovereignty) of our allies.#ukraine #uk #infantry #SupportUkraine #MilitaryAid #UKDefence #HumanitarianAid #Peace #GlobalSolidarity #CND #NuclearDisarmament

Did you know the UK is set to dispose of over 600 Warrior IFVs? What if we could turn this into a lifeline for Ukraine?
Join the movement! Please sign the petition now to urge Parliament to debate the future of our surplus Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs): https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/719124 or consider boosting this post for visibility.
I try to avoid de-novo political posts, but this feels to me like it isn't just about politics; it's about supporting a nation fighting for its freedom. I hope we might unite for a cause that transcends party lines.
Why should we consider this?
- Cost-effective: Refurbishing these vehicles (or breaking them for spares) in the UK instead of donating new vehicles could save taxpayers money.
- Support Ukraine: Strengthening Ukraine's military is crucial for European stability.
- Timely Action: The sooner we act, the better prepared Ukraine will be.
With the UK set to dispose of these vehicles soon, we must act now to ensure they serve a greater purpose.
If you can find it in your heart to boost this issue for visibility, &/or reply with hashtags I have not thought to add, I would be profoundly grateful.
