A Bipartisan Holocaust

“I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest…This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”

“I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” he says calmly, walking down a street. “But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”

Heavy RF jamming reported across the Persian Gulf and southern Iraq as US strikes on Iran continue.

Affected zones span Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, eastern Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the Basra region of southern Iraq, with a smaller zone near the Israel–Jordan border. Aircraft transponders in these areas are being disrupted.

🇨🇴 Colombian President Gustavo Petro told the U.N. Security Council today that wars in the Middle East are being driven by the global greed for oil and a resurgence of what he called “Nazi ideology,” arguing that the pursuit of hydrocarbons is fueling violence across the region.

Petro said Israel’s killing of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza is linked to its economic and political interests, and shows that racism and fascism are again shaping world affairs.

After the U.S. delegation condemned what it described as Petro’s “antisemitic” rhetoric and comments “diminishing the Holocaust,” Petro responded that he aims to prevent a “new Holocaust” against the “people of the Third World,” and called on the international community to uphold the principles that led to the creation of the United Nations.

🚨 The first image of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya to emerge since his detention, taken during the ongoing proceedings before Israel’s High Court of Justice in Jerusalem, shows him visibly emaciated, in stark contrast to his appearance before he was taken into Israeli custody.

His son warned this week that the life of Dr. Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, is in grave danger. He has been held in Israeli detention since December 2024 after refusing to abandon his patients in northern Gaza. The family says Israeli authorities transferred him to solitary confinement in Nafha Prison in retaliation for filing a legal appeal with Israel’s High Court.

According to the family, Dr. Abu Safiya is being held in a two-meter cell, forcibly starved like thousands of other Palestinian prisoners, and denied basic necessities, including clean water, medicine, and access to his lawyer.

From what Hegseth and Trump are implying, their new plan is to continue these bombing raids on military sites in Iran each night in hopes of gaining concessions in the now nonexistent pre-negotiation talks.

Haven't seen this World Cup visa denial story circulating yet. Moroccan player Zakaria El Ouahdi, who plays in Belgium's top division, was initially denied a US visa on the basis that his father has what authorities deemed a suspicious beard

B’Tselem released a video today of an IDF soldier shooting into a car, killing a seven-month-old boy and injuring his mother.

Fuck you, @washingtonpost . Amal did not ‘die,’ she was deliberately targeted and murdered after receiving threats from the Israeli army. She was in touch with us, her colleagues, during this situation. We all know exactly what happened. Shame on you for intentionally diminishing the criminality of the actions of the Israeli army with this headline. Shame on all of you and your correspondents in Beirut.

I hope to see you on trial for your propaganda in my lifetime.

⚡️Iranian official tells me that if the U.S. resumes the war, Iran will launch attacks targeting American interests across the region.

🔺”We have taken advantage of the ceasefire to restore and strengthen our missile capabilities,” he said. “Trump lacks the ability to make the decision necessary to end his disgraceful war, and we are fully aware of this reality.”

🔺The official said that reports that Trump has been waiting two weeks for Iran to respond to his proposals are spin.

The reality, the official said, is that the basic outlines of a deal were in place and Trump “disrupted” the agreed upon negotiating framework and made new demands. “From our perspective, there is absolutely no possibility of responding to it, as it falls outside the framework of negotiations,” the official said.

These guys absolutely would do a mass pager attack on Americans who pissed them off if the opportunity.

Short of a formal apology by Iron Lady, really hard to see the Chinese oblige. Should’ve thought things through before declaring Taiwan a Japanese protectorate.

Mike HuckaBibi will ask his Israeli deities to keep the flames burning so he can use them to flip another batch of red heifer burgers.

Tyre is a city of all sects; I have known no city in Lebanon which has been free of the sectarian tensions and conflicts—which tore the country apart—like it. Because of that, the city is subjected—yet again—to savage Israeli bombardment. Tyre is the antithesis of Zionism.

In 2023, Indonesia were stripped of the under-20 World Cup for refusing to allow the Israeli team entry.

Fifa's justification then was the vague "due to the current circumstances".

Quite a contrast to the hardline "FIFA is not involved in host immigration processes" now.

Israel has killed 3,637 people, wounded 11,188, including hundreds of children, and forcibly displaced over 1.2 million people in Lebanon. Hospitals, paramedics, and healthcare workers are regularly targeted.

Mukesh Ambani is no mere billionaire. The man is worth something like $100 billion and a good claim at being the most powerful oligarch in Asia!

Leftists made fun of Biden's age so much that liberals are still crying about it to this day, but every right-winger is a humorless Will Stancil style party loyalist, completely unable to handle even the most harmless jabs at Grandpa Trump
