An image post claiming Israel's prime minister was thrown out of parliament by lawmakers angry that strikes on Iran were 'too soft' spread widely but could not be confirmed, as did talk of a sharia-enforced 'Islamic district' being built in Arkansas. Japanese reactions ranged from heatwave schadenfreude to weary resignation at Middle East politics.
