Al Jazeera Arabic asks why Iran and the Resistance aren't doing more for Gaza?

Seriously?

Ayatollah Khamenei, Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, and many thousands across Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and Iraq were martyred for Gaza.

Qatar's contribution? Funding Kushner, Witkoff, and Trump.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

Most Americans are not evil.

That would be too simple.

And too flattering.

Evil at least implies intention.

A great many people inside the empire are not intentional enough to be evil.

They are domesticated.

Domesticated by convenience.

By spectacle.

By the narcotic rhythm of paycheck, purchase, panic, distraction.

They live inside a system that trains them to mistake access for virtue.

If I can still buy coffee, things must be normal.

If Netflix still works, collapse must be exaggerated.

If my neighborhood is quiet, the screams must be far away enough not to matter.

That is how imperial consciousness works.

Not as constant bloodlust.

As managed distance.

Distance from consequence.

Distance from production.

Distance from history.

Distance from the people paying for your calm.

And because the distance is moral as well as geographic, the average citizen can participate in atrocity without ever feeling like a participant.

That is the masterpiece.

Not just killing people.

But teaching millions to live comfortably inside the kill chain without ever seeing themselves in it.

Imagine being Mohammad Ghalibaf.

You're a veteran of the absolutely brutal Iran-Iraq War (500K casualties), you're a jet pilot and former commander of the IRGC Air Force, you're the former Mayor of Tehran (pop. 10 million), and you have a PhD in political geography from a top Iranian university.

Your opponent, Pete Hegseth, is a former National Guard guy and TV talk show host.

It's just laughable; how could you even begin to take him seriously at the table? The mismatch across every area is just so extreme.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

It's easy to point at Jillian Segal and make fun of how crazy and stupid she is, but the Albanese government is the only reason her craziness and stupidity is a problem.

The thing about Segal and all these "antisemitism advisors" they're setting up in western governments is that they're just random people with strong political opinions who are being elevated to ridiculous levels of influence. They're not experts, they're just people who happen to hold the political opinion that it should be illegal to criticize the state of Israel.

Which wouldn't normally be an issue; our society is full of individuals with terrible political opinions. The problem is that our government has selected these cartoonishly ridiculous Zionists to help shape policy in immensely consequential ways that erode the civil liberties of our nation. Our leaders are the ones to blame for these inept lunatics wielding absurd levels of influence; left to their own devices they'd just be harmless idiots. They're only harmful because they're being given the power to do harm.

⚡️⭕️Debate between Sami Gemayel, leader of the Kataeb party in Lebanon:

Presenter: If Hezbollah does what you are asking and surrenders its weapons and Israel does not adhere to its commitments (like it never does), what will you do?

Sami Gemayel: We will take up arms and fight Israel

Presenter: But that's what Hezbollah is doing now

بعد الروسي، ها هو الصيني يتراجع عن مبدأ مواجهة الإمبريالية لمصالح ذاتية،
لتبقى الجمهورية الإسلامية ومن معها مستمرة في معركة الكرامة الإنسانية والعدالة العالمية،
والدفاع عن حقوق المظلومين والكادحين.
وهكذا سيكون النصر العظيم القادم والقريب شرفًا خاصًا ومختصًا بشيعة الإمام علي عليه الصلاة والسلام، ثم لتكون مدرسة الإسلام المحمدي الأصيل هي الحية في قلوب وعقول كل الأحرار في العالم.

طبيب أخصائي عراقي، غير ولائي وليس مؤيد لسياسات إيران، لكنه إنسان موضوعي ويروي تجربته المهنية مع الأدوية الإيرانية وفعاليتها.
وبغض النظر عن رأيه السياسي ،
لكنه يوضح الغاية الحقيقية للجرائم الكبرى للقصف الأمريكي لشركات الأدوية الإيرانية وكذلك جريمة مدرسة ميناب للأطفال .

[Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺 @ejmalrai]

Anyone who thinks Iran will hand Donald Trump a deal he can brag about is living in fantasy. Trump killed Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, General Qassem Soleimani and a long list of Iran’s senior leaders. Tehran is not going to decorate him with a diplomatic victory after that.

Iran may negotiate when it serves its interests. But it will not reward Trump. It will not give him a trophy. And it will not sign anything he can sell it as a win.

If Trump is furious about Iran’s leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, then Tehran has even less reason to give it up. That card is one of Iran’s strongest, and it will not hand it to him just to calm his anger. On the contrary, Trump can stay angry until the end of his term. Iran is not in the business of rescuing his ego.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

If 41 Jews were killed in 24hrs, it would be called the nth worst antisemitic massacre since the holocaust.

When 41 Lebanese are killed by Israel in 24hrs, it’s called a ceasefire.

[Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺 @ejmalrai]

It is essential to remember that Iran is the only state since the Second World War to have directly attacked U.S. military bases across the Middle East on such a scale, causing severe damage and killing American soldiers with drones and missiles, while showing no fear of the consequences and signalling its readiness to repeat such strikes.

No other sovereign state has carried out comparable direct ballistic missile and drone barrages against U.S. facilities since 1945.

فيديو يعود لعام 2014 يوثق زيارة رئيس وزراء الكيان الإسـ ـرائيلي بنيامين نتنياهو للمستشفى الميداني العسكري في الجولان المـ ـحتل لتفقد جرحى من جبهة النصـ ـرة التي كانت تحت قيادة ابو محمد الجـ ـولاني.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Here are two easy ways of knowing we're being completely controlled by Israel. Israel wanted us to attack seven of their neighbors so they could be the only regional superpower - and we attacked all seven. It costs us $8 trillion, and counting.

Israeli settlers and IDF have killed 10 Americans in the last three years and we haven't asked for anyone to be arrested for those murders. And no one has been arrested. They're literally allowed to kill our citizens.

If you think these things are normal, you're either an escaped mental patient or you're a mainstream media reporter.

Jewish American surgeon Mark Perlmutter recounts how Israeli soldiers took two Palestinian children and buried them alive

This is the most horrifying testimony yet.

[Tuomas Malinen @mtmalinen]

It is hard to even grasp the full extent of the defeat of the U.S.

Iran rendered practically all U.S. bases in the region uninhabitable, and the only way the "greatest military in the world" was able to retaliate was to sink an unarmed frigate and resort to piracy.

Just consider the depth the U.S. had sunk into.

"Iran wants to k*ll ALL Jews!"

Aussie Zionist schizo FOLDS when I ask one question

[Mir Mohammad Alikhan @MirMAKOfficial]

I candidly asked an Irani official in Iran today:

If they have abandoned Lebanon.

This was his reply and I am ashamed that I even asked that stupid question.

Please read.

Did Iran abandon Lebanon?

They prevented Iran from building power plants so Lebanon could reach energy self-sufficiency, then said Iran abandoned you.
They blocked Iran from building dams, first in Christian areas, and behind the scenes demanded money so they could build them themselves, only to steal it as they stole much of the aid, then said Iran abandoned you.
They prevented Iranian engineers and doctors from reaching Lebanon for reconstruction, then said Iran abandoned you.

They froze Iranian bank accounts in Lebanon under the pretext of U.S. sanctions and blocked billions of dollars from reaching those affected and whose homes were destroyed, then said Iran abandoned you.

They blocked Iranian flights from reaching Lebanon, and before that prevented Iranian planes from refueling at Beirut airport, then said Iran abandoned you.
They cut the land route linking Iran to Lebanon (for example, the attack in Kahale), then said Iran abandoned you.
They recalled the Lebanese ambassador from Iran, then said Iran abandoned you.
They expelled the Iranian ambassador from Lebanon, then said Iran abandoned you.

They blocked Iranian humanitarian and military aid, amounting to hundreds of tons, from reaching Lebanon, then said Iran abandoned you.

They contacted Pakistan to prevent Iran from gaining the credit for securing a ceasefire in Lebanon, and instead kept the fire and killing going against the Lebanese people, then said Iran abandoned you.
They did everything they could, and some things I cannot even mention here, all so they could later say Iran abandoned you.
No and a thousand times no: Iran did not and will not abandon المقاومة in Lebanon. You are the ones who abandoned your humanity, your dignity, and your people, and rushed into American arms to beg for what Iran was willing to give to all of Lebanon, but you rejected it out of spite, as usual.

These facts must be known by everyone…

[Ali Abunimah @AliAbunimah]

An image of treason and betrayal that will live in infamy. While Lebanese heroes sacrifice everything to defend the homeland, Lebanon’s Western-backed “leaders” sell them out to the genocidal Zionist invader.

[Davide Mastracci @DavideMastracci]

The scandal over this photo perfectly reflects so many accusations of antisemitism.

In this case, a photo captures exactly how a settler looks, and the magazine is condemned as antisemitic because his appearance supposedly is identical to “caricatures.”

Meanwhile, when criticizing Israel, you can accurately describe exactly what it does with extensive sources and proof, and they call you hateful because the actions may align with antisemitic “tropes.”

Instead of condemning Israel for manifesting the worst antisemitic stereotypes, they say doing so is hateful.

Reality is antisemitic to them because it does not align with the Jewish supremacist worldview they have been propagating their whole lives.

“There's no doubt that the most revolutionary theoretico-praxis that exists today is Shia Islam. There's no way that you could ever try to counter that as an assertion,” said Evan Katsounis, a US-Greek anti-imperialist organizer, in an interview with VPol journalist @CallaWalsh.

￭ Katsounis critiqued the colonial and imperial arrogance displayed by much of the Western “left,” which tends to “villainize or demonize those we consider to be religious or sacred as being under some sort of opiate or backwards.”

￭ “Even the notion of secularity in many ways professes or enacts itself in religious ways, right? Secularism is even a kind of religion in its own way.”

￭ “We have to be learning from” the Islamic Republic of Iran and other members of the Axis of Resistance, instead of arrogantly critiquing them, which is “an exhibition of ultimately the coloniality that many people aren't even aware of that they contain.”
