In Times of Universal Deceit — Telling the Truth Is a Revolutionary Act

[Raf @CaptRafK]

A must see film documenting Israel’s brutal genocide of Gaza! @CIJ_ICJ

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

This is the most important documentary of the 21st century.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

It will soon become clear that when Israel chose to attack Dahiya yesterday, it was not only working to shatter negotiations between Trump and Iran

It was also consciously instigating an escalation that would inevitably place US regional bases under Iranian fire

What an ally

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Lynching mobs.
Pogroms.
Genocidal acts.
Racism.
Suprematism.
Absolute impunity.

The failure of the post-WWII system in a nutshell.

[Raf @CaptRafK]

@DanCrenshawTX NSA spy planes recorded all communications that day & had them translated from Hebrew. The Israelis knew the USS Liberty was an American ship & proceeded to attack anyway. Dismissing it as mistaken identity is intellectual dishonesty at best.

[Raf @CaptRafK]

@BBCWorld Bullshit Broadcasting Corporation continues to headline Israeli war crimes in the passive. Spineless.

[Daniel McAdams @DanielLMcAdams]

The murderous nazi regime in tel aviv continues its satanic mission to kill all Palestinian children.

[Raf @CaptRafK]

@Mr_Andrew_Fox What utter nonsense. F you and Sam Harris for recycling Israeli hasbara.

[Colter Louwerse @ColterL]

In 1981, the PLO laid down its arms in Lebanon, scrupulously upheld a ceasefire for nearly a year, and offered to recognize Israel via a two-state settlement.

Israel responded with an unprovoked invasion, killing 15-20,000 Palestinians and Lebanese.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.

Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.

Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.

Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.

At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.

This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.

What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.

[James Li @5149jamesli]

Tomorrow will be exactly 59 years since Israel bombed the USS Liberty.

You'll see pro-Israel accounts and Zionist bots flood the zone with "it was a tragic mistake". That is a blatant lie.

The world deserves the truth and the veterans deserve justice. Share this thread. 🙏🇺🇸

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Incredible Albanian people.

[Shaun King @shaunking]

Her family protected her for 3 straight years of a genocide.

Kept her fed. Kept her clothed. Kept her safe.

Only for her to be bombed and killed in a fake "ceasefire."

I can't begin to explain how utterly devastating it is to have sustained a child so long then this happens

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

If Israel is a sovereign state then it doesn’t need to be merged with America’s military in section 224 of the NDAA nor does it need a single penny of American tax dollars to fights its wars.
And once sec 224 passes, it will be next to impossible to be undone.
Which is what they want.
Full control.

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

A reminder: At this moment, the Israeli regime is continuing its genocide in Palestine with murderous attacks on civilians in Gaza and bloody pogroms in the West Bank, abusing thousands of Palestinian hostages in dungeons and torture camps, perpetrating the crime of apartheid, bombing Lebanese villages and towns, unlawfully occupying Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, openly celebrating the regime’s pirating, torture, and sexual assault of crew from the humanitarian flotilla, preparing for further aggression and war crimes in Iran, corrupting Western governments, and persecuting human rights defenders through regime proxies across the globe. Do not let complicit media corporations erase these realities, distract you, or weaken your resolve to fight this evil. The threat is spreading and the moment is urgent.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 Hold these three facts in your head at the same time, because Washington apparently can't...

Fact one:
The Pentagon reportedly raised Israel's counterintelligence threat level to "critical," the highest designation that exists.

That's the tier reserved for top adversaries like China and Russia, rating Israel above every American ally and above some of America's actual enemies.

The White House calls the reporting "false" and Israel categorically denies it, but the accounts are sourced to multiple current and former U.S. officials across two major outlets.

Fact two:
Netanyahu sent a personal letter to Rep. Marlin Stutzman endorsing a resolution to phase out U.S. military aid over a decade and replace it with what he called, in his own words, "my plan": a shift from aid to joint defense partnership spanning missile defense, AI, drones, and cyber.

Fact three:
A separate but parallel measure, Section 224 of the defense bill, would mandate structural integration: joint weapons production, linked military systems, and shared data between the two countries.

Two distinct legislative tracks, one direction: permanent entanglement with the country the Pentagon just reportedly flagged as a critical espionage threat.

Any functioning political system would treat fact one as disqualifying for facts two and three.

You do not wire your military networks into a government your own intelligence agencies say is running an "unhinged" collection campaign against your officials.

Counterintelligence 101 forbids it.

If China's leader sent a personal letter to a congressman describing his plan for U.S.-China defense integration while the Pentagon caught Chinese spyware on American officials' phones, every name attached to the bill would be under investigation by Friday.

Israel does both in the same month and gets a committee markup.

That gap is the most precise measurement we have of how compromised the system actually is.

The magnitude of what just happened may take some time to sink in.

This is the first time Iran has struck Israel after Israel struck another country's territory (that is, not Iran).

This means that the battle lines have been moved.

Iran's deterrence had already been restored in the sense that Israel knew that any strike on it would be responded to.

But now, Iran has proven that it will also respond to Israeli strikes on Lebanon.

This is the first time in decades that a regional power has the means, capacity, and willingness to put hard power against Israeli military maneuvers or aggression against a third party.

The two men in the photo were identified as:
1.Haj Nadi Marouf
2.Haj Ali Marouf

Both were arrested by Israel from their home in Beit Lahiya north of Gaza.

After being used as human shields, their relatives found them three days later executed.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

Intertwining our defense technological development w/the Israelis, or any foreign nation, is foolish & dangerous.
Section 224 of the NDAA must be rejected.
My 1st article for @RStatecraft explains why: https://t.co/HUtS2qNITX

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths children.

Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.
