y’all have no respect for the ppl who make your life easier. the person making your morning coffee deserves a livable wage. the person stocking the groceries you buy deserves a livable wage. the person cleaning the restrooms in the office you work at deserves a livable wage.

WOW.

AlJazeera just dropped a ONE HOUR documentary about ISRAEL’s CRIMES against the PALESTINIANS.

This is very HARD TO WATCH.

[Idris @7signxx]

If you can't free the Palestinian prisoners, then do not remain silent about them...

I am a single issue voter anymore. If you support Israel in literally any way shape or form I will not vote for you. I do not care about literally anything else anymore. How can anyone see this and ignore it.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made.

Fucking carpet bombing a city with 3x the population of Toronto, no doubt mass civilian casualties, you’re stupid as hell if you ever thought this was about liberating Iranians

Pray for the people of Iran

[manny @mannyfidel]

last week, you were told that you should support a regime change war in Iran in part to support women's rights

this week, one of Israel's "preventative" air strikes in Iran hit a girls' elementary school killing 40 little girls and counting

[sarah @sahouraxo]

BREAKING:

The US and Israel dropped bombs on an elementary school for girls in Iran’s city of Minab.

36 little girls have been killed so far.

People are still pulling bodies from under the rubble.

Not militants. Not combatants.

Little girls. Students.

This is terrorism.

Imagine being angrier at Olympic athletes using their platform to speak up about this administration than at the President of the United States posting racist shit and raping kids

⚠️ Reuters has now confirmed what many suspected.

In early 2024, U.S. diplomats blocked internal cables describing northern Gaza as an “Apocalyptic Wasteland.” The reports included harrowing details: human bones scattered in the streets, bodies left abandoned in cars, & a total collapse of access to food, clean water, and medical aid.

These cables were not speculation. They were based on first-hand field observations from U.N. agencies & humanitarian workers on the ground.

So why were they blocked?

Because they were considered “too graphic.”
Because they “lacked balance.”
Because they might make Israel look bad.

Senior officials at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, including Ambassador Jack Lew & Deputy Chief Stephanie Hallett, stopped the reports from reaching higher levels of the U.S. government. They feared the cables would contradict the administration’s public narrative & disrupt ongoing political cover for Israel’s actions in Gaza.

According to former officials, humanitarian experts were sidelined, ignored, & outright dismissed. Inside meetings, the question from officials was not how to respond to starvation, but reportedly, “Where are all the skinny kids?”

This was not merely policy misjudgment, but complicity on a grand scale.

The Biden administration had access to concrete evidence of mass death, starvation, & social collapse. Instead of sounding the alarm, it chose to suppress the truth to preserve its political position.

They did not just ignore the warnings. They buried them.

Let that sink in.

I can’t fathom how weak one must be to look at Donald Trump and see strength, how stupid one must be to see wisdom, how corrupt one must be to see virtue. It says a lot of things about Americans collectively — none of them good — and the world will rightly never trust us again.

You shouldn’t need a personal connection to injustice to care about it

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

You packed a lot of confusion into four sentences, Ezra, so let me untangle it slowly.

First, this line:

"So where is Israel's ancestral homeland if not Israel?"

You are doing what Zionism always does.

You take a religious or mythic claim that some Jews have a spiritual connection to a piece of land and you inflate it into a modern property deed for a 21st-century ethnostate.

Ancestry is not a land title.

If it were, half the planet would be on ships going back to somewhere else.

Most Jews alive today do not have continuous, lived, generational ties to that land.

Most Palestinians do.

That is the difference you keep skipping.

"Ancestral homeland" for you is a slogan.

For them it is the house key, the family orchard, the graveyard, and the village your side turned into a pine forest.

Second:

"They don't have a right to exist you suggest?"

No state on earth has a mystical "right to exist."

States are political arrangements.

They are born, split, reunify, collapse, get renamed.

People have the right to exist.

People have the right to safety, dignity, and return.

When someone asks "Does Israel have a right to exist," what they usually mean is:

"Do Jews have the right to live in Palestine without being slaughtered or expelled?"

The answer to that is obviously yes.

But that is not what your slogan is doing.

"Right to exist" in this context means:

"Does a self-defined Jewish state have the right to maintain a demographic majority and political supremacy even if it requires dispossession, siege, and permanent second-class status for the original inhabitants?"

That is not a right.

That is a demand for eternal impunity.

You can have equal rights for everyone between the river and the sea.

Or you can have a Jewish ethnocracy.

You cannot have both.

The "right to exist" language is just your way of avoiding saying out loud which one you choose.

Third:

"Palestinians have long lived alongside Israel in Gaza strip for millennia"

Israel has not existed for millennia.

Gaza has not always been a fenced-in strip.

You are mashing words together to hide the timeline.

For millennia, there were people living in that land: Canaanites, Philistines, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Arabs, and many others in between.

What you call "Israel" today is a modern state built in 1948 on top of their continuity.

Gaza as we know it now is not some cute example of coexistence.

It is the concentrated result of ethnic cleansing.

It is where many of the refugees from the villages your side emptied ended up.

They did not "live alongside Israel."

They were fenced, bombed, starved, and periodically massacred by it.

So let me answer you plainly.

Israel's "ancestral homeland" is the same soil where Palestinians planted their olive trees, buried their parents, and passed down their houses long before your state had a flag.

I am not saying Jews have no place there.

I am saying no group gets to turn myth into a weapon, erase the people already living there, and then hide behind the sacred phrase "right to exist" every time someone points to the bodies.

If Palestine truly stood as a free, equal land for all its inhabitants, from river to sea, Israel as an exclusivist project would not "stop existing."

It would simply lose its alibi.
