Israel and Trump (who has accepted millions from Israel proxies in the US to do the regime’s bidding), are now trying to frame the assassination of two staff of the regime’s embassy in Washington as an act of “antisemitism, despite (1) a clear written statement from the shooter that he was motivated by Israel’s impunity for genocide in Palestine and (2) the fact that both victims were Israelis and actually working for the Israeli regime’s embassy. They were clearly not targeted for their religion. Media outlets that parrot this false narrative are intentionally hiding the context in order to shield Israel. But history teaches us that feeding impunity only leads to more violence.
Yeah, um, the sight of a foreign Catholic missionary who is White riding into an Indigenous community on horseback to round up all the little Native American children has never been a “majestic” one, nor will it ever be. This scene has ruined millions of lives over the centuries
@DougHenwood He clearly is not writing his social media posts himself. The sentence structure is just too complex for his brain but the idea itself shows his insecurity and the fucked-up nature of US politics.
“Why shouldn’t Pakistan be destroyed?”
A right-wing journalist tries to bait an Indian youth into endorsing war between India and Pakistan, but gets shut down instantly.
a sad paradox: because we have no real political representation, our artists become our spokespeople in mainstream institutions, but - often - their politics do not extend beyond their identity, and so we are left with symbolic representation in place of genuine leverage.
Malta allowed Israel to use its airspace to bomb a humanitarian aid flotilla, and then delayed for several hours before sending assistance to the damaged ship.
Malta has entered the war on the side of Israel and is openly complicit in the crime of genocide by starvation.
KNEECAP STATEMENT:
Since our statements at Coachella — exposing the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people — we have faced a coordinated smear campaign.
For over a year, we have used our shows to call out the British and Irish governments' complicity in war crimes.
The recent attacks against us, largely emanating from the US, are based on deliberate distortions and falsehoods. We are taking action against several of these malicious efforts.
Let us be absolutely clear.
The reason Kneecap is being targeted is simple — we are telling the truth, and our audience is growing.
Those attacking us want to silence criticism of a mass slaughter. They weaponize false accusations of antisemitism to distract, confuse, and provide cover for genocide.
We do not give a f*ck what religion anyone practices. We know there are massive numbers of Jewish people outraged by this genocide just as we are. What we care about is that governments of the countries we perform in are enabling some of the most horrific crimes of our lifetimes — and we will not stay silent.
No media spin will change this.
Our only concern is the Palestinian people — the 20,000 murdered children and counting.
The young people at our gigs see through the lies.
They stand on the side of humanity and justice.
And that gives us great hope.
Kneecap ❤️
Israel’s oldest newspaper tried to run a hit piece against us.
Luckily, we recorded the whole thing.
Hear this Haaretz journalist ask gotcha questions to @KeiPritsker to try to frame The Encampments film as anti-semitic.
Update: I have been terminated by Yale Law School and the LPE Project.
What we are witnessing unfold in the United States is not the failure of democracy—this *is* Western liberal democracy itself. 1/2
Either the Houthis require three American aircraft carriers and the largest naval deployment in the Middle East since the Iraq War or they are useless and feckless, they cannot be both.
I cannot begin to tell you how much community labor went into filing this. It is, to date, the largest civil rights suit filed in defense of Palestine solidarity activism on a university campus.

Trump pressured Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire before he took office and secretly opened negotiations with Hamas. The Israeli government or its assets in the White House spied on/leaked the information to “former” Israeli intelligence officer Barak Ravid, who broke the story. This forced Trump admin hostage envoy Adam Boehler to publicly defend the negotiations, in which he said the U.S. is “not an agent of Israel” and that Hamas negotiators are “pretty nice guys.”
Immediately after, Boehler was denounced and demoted, and Trump sent ICE goons to arrest Mahmoud Khalil. Israel cut off supplies to Gaza, resumed massacring the population in violation of the ceasefire, and Ansar Allah reimposed its naval blockade. The U.S. resumed bombing Yemen and tonight Israel fully discarded the ceasefire and resumed the genocide.
What explains Trump’s shift from self-proclaimed “peacemaker” to full partner in genocide, risking world war?
It’s impossible to say at this point, but as Netanyahu said in 2001, unaware he was being recorded, “America is a thing you can move very easily.”
A starved, captive civilian population has been bombed back to the Stone Age for a year and a half, yet this Hasbara laundromat of a publication would *still* have you believe that the discomfort of pro-Israel Ivy League students is the most pressing issue of the day.
The goal is not just genocide and annihilation but to make an example of Palestine—both for those within and beyond the empire’s reach. It is an attempt to extinguish not just the Palestinian cause but any remaining trace of “optimism of the will” and all the forms of resistance this sustains. 3/
What is truly defeating these forces is that the US-led unipolar world order has ushered in a new kind of superiority—one where raw brutality has supplanted military dominance as the highest form of power. It is not merely an abandonment of humanity, but a full-scale war against it—a war on moral and legal restraints, not just their erosion but their outright annihilation. 2/
Waking up once again to the hellscape of Israel’s latest genocidal crimes, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that Hamas and the Axis of Resistance were not merely weakened by Israel’s military, intelligence, or technological superiority. This war has always been asymmetrical, and while Israel has made significant advancements in these areas, they are not the primary reason for the Axis of Resistance’s massive losses. Israel could have possessed unmatched military and intelligence capabilities, yet without the collapse of even the illusion of ethical constraints, it could never have unleashed destruction on this scale. 1/
