This is Houla, South Lebanon — before and after Israel’s genocide.
An ancient village that stood for more than 2,000 years.
Israel wiped it off the map.
A war crime. A crime against history.
Netanyahu turned down a fully formed plan to normalize with Saudi Arabia in 2024 because he refused to commit to a future Palestinian state. Israeli journalist Nadav Eyal reveals this in a new column. The terms Biden and MBS offered Israel were incredibly generous and would have ended the genocide too:
1) A hostage deal ending the Gaza war, with Israel keeping a security perimeter inside the Strip. MBS even told the administration, "I'm willing to send Saudi soldiers to manage Gaza."
2) On the Palestinian question, the Saudis accepted a relatively soft formula: an Israeli commitment to a Palestinian state within 5–7 years. They even reassured Israel that if statehood stalled, they'd blame Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) rather than blow up the agreement in 2034.
3) Since Ben Gvir and Smotrich would have toppled the government over such a deal, the Biden administration arranged a political "safety net": opposition leader Yair Lapid agreed to support Netanyahu's government for several months to complete the process.
4) A senior American official told an Israeli counterpart that Iran is about to "switch sides" toward the West — a historic shift, a "perestroika," with Mojtaba Khamenei becoming the Gorbachev of Shiite fundamentalism.
The US and Saudi Arabia offered Israel a way to get its hostages back, normalize with Saudi Arabia and begin rapprochement with Iran. All in exchange for some recognition of a Palestinian right to a state. Israel refused and chose genocide, war with Iran, death to many of the hostages and a continued coalition with Ben-Gvir. All to avoid giving Palestinians hope.
Iran fires missiles at Arab countries—we all condemn—the World stands up condemning Iran.
United States targets hospitals and schools in Iran, the World is silent.
Israel wipes out entire villages, murdering thousands in Lebanon and Gaza, the World is silent.
Double standards.
At this point it should be clear that this individual is a clown catering to the worst impulses of his Zionist audience.
Whatever pays rent, right? 🤷♀️
🚨 WHY ISRAEL NO LONGER HIDES ITS CRIMES 🚨
I asked Elijah Magnier a question that few people seem to ask:
Why did Israeli officials once deny massacres, cover up crimes, and call everything “propaganda”, but now openly brag about destroying homes, villages, and civilian infrastructure?
Elijah believes Israel no longer feels the need to hide what it does because Western protection has made impunity feel permanent.
Israeli soldiers film destruction.
Officials speak openly about wiping out villages.
Ministers admit the scale of devastation.
And instead of facing consequences, Israeli leaders are received by Western governments, protected diplomatically, and shielded from international justice.
Elijah argues that after October 7, Israel began acting as if borders no longer matter — in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and beyond — using “national security” as a blank cheque for expansion and destruction.
But the deeper scandal is not only Israeli behavior.
It is the American umbrella that makes it possible.
When Washington recognizes occupied Syrian land as Israeli, defends Israeli military expansions, and sanctions international legal bodies, what message does Israel receive?
That it can do almost anything.
That is why the mentality changed.

1⃣The Jews of Tunisia were not expelled. In fact they were named government ministers. Over time, most of them emigrated on their own accord, but the ones who remained kept being named ministers.
2⃣The Jews of Algeria were traitors who adopted French citizenship — the citizenship of the ruthless colonial power — in full knowledge that it was denied to their Muslim countrymen. Most of them emigrated to France because they held French citizenship, which was incompatible with Algerian citizenship, not because they were Jews.
3⃣The Jews of Iraq were not expelled. In fact, the Jewish poet Mir Basri represented Iraq at the Arab Writers Conference held in Baghdad in 1969, long after the "expulsion."
4⃣The Jews of Egypt were traitors who planted bombs in American and British interests in Egypt as false flag attacks to turn the two Anglo powers against the United Arab Republic.
5⃣The Jews of Yemen were not expelled. They emigrated on their own accord under an Israeli operation called Magic Carpet.
6⃣There were never 30,000 Jews in Syria. There were at most 17,000, and they were not expelled. They mostly emigrated to New York on their own accord.
7⃣The Jews of Bahrain were not expelled. In fact, the Jew Houda Nonoo was named Bahraini ambassador to the United States, while it would be unthinkable for such a position to be offered to an Arab by Israel.
Zionism and the creation of Israel gave rise to an impossible situation in which Arab Jews had to choose between supporting Israel and continuing to live in their home countries. Zionist leaders pushed them to choose supporting Israel, which eventually led to their emigration to that country. Comparing that decades-long process, willingly promoted by Israel, with the sudden, wholesale and unwanted displacement of 750,000 Palestinians from modern-day Israel in 1948 is an absurdity which can only be put forward in bad faith.
IRAN HAS BOMBED ZERO SCHOOLS AND ZERO HEALTH FACILITIES IN ISRAEL.
ISRAEL AND THE U.S. HAVE BOMBED 1,300 SCHOOLS AND 350 HEALTH FACILITIES IN IRAN.
WHO ARE THE REAL TERRORISTS AND WAR CRIMINALS?!?
There is a reason some rulers get angrier at Iran than at Israel.
Israel humiliates Muslims.
Iran embarrasses collaborators.
One wounds the body.
The other exposes the soul.
It is one thing to watch a genocide and remain silent.
It is another to watch someone resist it and realize your silence was never necessity.
It was choice.
That is why the language becomes so frantic.
"Iran is destabilizing the region."
No.
Iran is destabilizing the fantasy that cowardice is diplomacy.
The region was already destabilized by occupations, invasions, sanctions, and bases.
What Iran destabilizes is the lie that submission is moderation.
@Hassan_ll1 Doing the work for israel for free huh? And you still get invaded and 'your' country taken over without you firing a shot, you pathetic godless mother fucker.
Republicans being nationalistic about immigrants while totally accepting the colonization of their country by Israel has to be one of the biggest self owns in history
A Jewish driver damaged another man’s car, leaving a clearly visible scrape on the bodywork.
When the owner asked him to pay for the damage, he refused to offer more than $30 and accused him of antisemitism.
@Michael231414@DD_Geopolitics A lot better than you neonazi shitcaps have got left in reserve. Can't wait for you to start running out of diesel and jet fuel!
Let's be specific about what sanctions do to a human body.
Sanctions are described in policy language as "economic pressure." "Diplomatic tools." "Alternatives to military force." "The civilized option."
Here is what they do on the ground.
They reduce the foreign currency reserves needed to import medicine.
Hospital supply chains collapse.
Equipment cannot be replaced.
Drugs that treat cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease become unavailable or prohibitively expensive.
They cause inflation that destroys the savings of the middle class faster than the political class they're supposed to pressure.
They collapse employment in sectors tied to international trade, which in countries with limited economic diversity means mass unemployment.
They kill slowly.
They kill without a visible weapon.
They kill children with preventable diseases, elderly people without medication, pregnant women without adequate obstetric care.
And when people in those countries rage against the country imposing these conditions, Americans say:
"Why do they hate us?"
Because you are killing them.
You are killing them with paperwork and executive orders and Treasury Department designations.
Without a soldier. Without a missile. Without anything that looks, on your evening news, like violence.
But the people dying do not experience it as non-violence.
They experience it as dying.
And they know who signed the order.
@MachFcken3@calvinfroedge Awww is someone looking through all my posts as a way to try and out me? You pathetic mother fucker?
Actually i never did end up going long in oil bitch, so go back to peeling potatoes like a good little retard.
The Iranian program was built on reverse engineering of Soviet missiles 40 years ago. At that time, China was still crawling in missile technology. Today, 90% of the components of Iranian missiles are domestic. Raw material for fuel is imported from China because Iranian production cannot keep up, and not due to a technological issue. Chinese guidance, yes, has been adopted more recently and is already equipping Iranian missiles.
300 years of slavery were infinitely more violent than any slave revolt
300 years of colonialism were infinitely more violent than any national liberation struggle
90 years of Jim Crow were infinitely more violent than anything the Black Panthers ever did
Maybe the most American thing is not the flag,
or the military,
or the smile they wear while describing another country's children as necessary collateral.
Maybe the most American thing is the reflexive need to believe that even their worst crimes must somehow contain a hidden virtue.
They cannot just invade.
They must "liberate."
They cannot just starve.
They must "pressure."
They cannot just overthrow.
They must "stabilize."
They cannot just lie.
They must "lead."
That is why arguing with them feels like arguing with a church that baptizes every missile on the way out of the factory.
You are not fighting facts.
You are fighting liturgy.
