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.

every word. the gravest crime.

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

from a purely psychological point of view, I find this so interesting. I've already said that Israeli society is truly pathological, but this is another layer I've not considered before. Aside from the alarming sadism and inflicting of cruel violence as a mainstay of their existence, Israelis seem to lack the common sense of irony and even a meager bit self-awareness

Norman Finkelstein is asked if he believes there is "very rampant anti-Semitism in the US" by an interviewer who claims he himself has experienced it. Here is his response:

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

No one dead in the Michigan synagogue attack. But expect the Israel brigade to spend the next month talking about this non-event to distract from the thousands Israel has killed. Don’t fall for it.

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

correction: I was wrong. No one in the synagogue was killed. With literally hundreds of police cars responding and insane media coverage, I thought at least one Jewish person had fallen victim. But it turns out the hysteria was about Jewish feelings again. Folks in that synagogue were scared. The only people killed were Arabs, a Palestinian man and his entire family. We all know that doesn't count.

Israeli Zionist Jews gang-raped a Palestinian on camera, leading to nationwide right to rape rallies to support them, and now all fake charges have been dropped and they will forever be revered as national heroes. Israel is a rape-cult masquerading as a society

[Masoud Pezeshkian @drpezeshkian]

Netanyahu in three frames:
To Iranians, he speaks of “freedom”.
To Americans, he warns of Iran's “nuclear threat".
To his Zionist audience, he calls Iranians "Amaleks".
Deception based on the geography of the audience!

ah yes, rebuilding the Third Temple, the classic antisemitic conspiracy that has been shared on crypto-nazi 4chan for years, and totally not something that the current U.S. Secretary of War has explicitly called for

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws1]

Everyone needs to know the extent of what the U.S did.

An unarmed Iranian ship invited to a joint Indian naval exercise paraded its sailors before the president alongside other participants, including the U.S.

At the last minute, the U.S. withdrew from the exercise and torpedoed the Iranian vessel, then reportedly refused to rescue the survivors, leaving the Sri Lankan Navy to recover bodies from the water.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Make no mistake. The US/Israel war against Iran is a colonial war. Like the genocide in Palestine, the invasion of Iraq and Libya, the incineration of Vietnam and Laos, it is war to subjugate the people of the global South and annihilate their resistance. Colonialism has no place in humanity and it must be defeated.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Likely raped to death.
A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics.
Likely raped to death.

The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.

[أنس الشريف Anas Al-Sharif @AnasAlSharif0]

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.

I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

“I’m Just Astonished That You Can’t Make the Difference Between the Jews and the Israelis” — Ahmed Alnaouq to Piers Morgan.

For nearly 20 months, Piers Morgan has repeatedly claimed that Hamas’s stated goal is to “kill all the Jews” — a false framing that dehumanizes Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation by stripping it of political context and painting it as rooted in antisemitism.

This narrative has been key to justifying Israel’s brutal genocidal assault on Gaza, where a war of annihilation has been waged through systematic destruction and the indiscriminate mass killing of civilians — civilians who are routinely dismissed as “Hamas supporters” to excuse their deaths.

In an exchange yesterday, Palestinian journalist @AlnaouqA called out Piers’ longstanding claim, pointing out that Palestinian resistance opposes Israeli occupation — not Jews. Alnaouq stressed that the fight is against colonization, not religion.

He also told Piers Morgan:
➤ “Bad journalism kills. Israel could not carry out a genocide in Gaza without the justification of the mainstream media.”

——

Here’s part of the exchange: ⬇️

Piers Morgan:
“I’m telling you they are an undisguised death cult, intent on killing as many Jews as they can… You talk about genocide — that is genocide — when you want to kill as many Jews as you can kill.”

Ahmed Alnaouq:
“That’s the problem. You always say they want to kill the Jews. Our problem is not with the Jews — even Hamas’s problem is not with the Jews. It is with the Israelis. We never had a problem with the Jews. We love the Jews as much as we love the Christians.”

Piers Morgan:
“Why do they kill so many Jews, then?”

Ahmed Alnaouq:
“They did not kill Jews. They killed Israelis. And I don’t justify killing Israelis. But our problem is with the occupiers.”

Piers Morgan:
“How many of the people who were killed were not Jewish?”

Ahmed Alnaouq:
“It doesn’t matter. They were attacked because they were Israelis, not because they were Jews. This is not a religious war. This is a war between colonization and colonized, occupiers and occupied.”

Piers Morgan:
“I’m astonished that you would draw a distinction. Most of them are Jewish.”

Ahmed Alnaouq:
“Please, there’s a huge difference. I'm surprised that you're saying this, please genuinely, I'm surprised. There a huge difference.”

Piers Morgan:
“You’re surprised that I think Hamas targets Jewish people?”

Ahmed Alnaouq:
“Of course. That’s a ridiculous thing to say.”

Piers Morgan:
“They’ve made no secret of it. They obviously target and murder as many Jewish people as they can.”

Ahmed Alnaouq:
“I am the last person on earth to defend Hamas. But just because I don’t like Hamas does not mean I’m going to exaggerate and lie about them.

The Palestinians’ problem is against Zionism and Israeli occupation — not against Jews.

Because they occupied our country, because they're colonizers, because they came to our country kicked us out in 1948 and they killed thousands of Palestinians including my grandparents.”

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

One bizarre aspect of US discourse on Gaza is Israel admits they intend to starve Gaza and destroy it all so that residents are either forced to flee or live in small "concentrated" camps (paid for by US workers).

Yet Israel's US loyalists angrily deny those are their goals.
