"Nothing speaks more clearly of the darkening mood, the declining possibilities for joy, than the fact that, while the medieval peasant created festivities as an escape from work, the Puritan embraced work as an escape from terror." Dancing in the Streets, Barbara Ehrenreich

When Ayatollah Ali Khamenei met with the Lebanese leader Saad Hariri in 2010 in Tehran, Hariri wanted to talk about the disarmament of Hezbollah.
Khamenei asked Hariri if he had read Victor Hugo's 1831 novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Hariri had not.
Khamenei told him that the character Esmeralda always carried a knife or a dagger to protect herself. Esmeralda is wanted, just as Lebanon is, by everyone, including Israel.
Hezbollah, Khamenei said, is Esmeralda's dagger. Why would you want to remove it from her?

@KerryBurgess Why are they even allowed in other countries?

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.

Un 8 de junio de 1958, David Isom, un joven negro de 19 años, protestó contra el racismo y la segregación racial en St. Pete, Florida (EEUU) bañándose en una piscina solo para blancos.

Al día siguiente, el gobierno cerró y desinfectó la piscina porque "un negro se bañó en ella".

Así era la gran democracia de EEUU, la que da tantas lecciones de derechos humanos por el mundo.

Why are Chinese goods always described as ‘cheap’?
Maybe it’s your own shit that is overpriced?

@StoicSkeptic @omgsidewalks Nonsense. In a capitalist society, the system rewards the ability to STEAL value.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

5% of your food bill IS profits for billionaires.
40% of your Energy and Fuel bills are profits for billionaires.
60% of your Rent is profit.
20% of your Mortgage is profit for billionaires.
40% of your wage is taken as profit for billionaires.

This is what they are costing YOU

@TheSaviour Vietnam should block them at the border.

[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.

IRAN: “In the name of Jesus Christ — to all the people of the world: We are fighting a criminal gang. The corrupt people of Epstein Island. We will not compromise. To rid the world of corruption and usury.”

Iran just decimated Israel with ballistic missiles dedicated to Jesus.

[Seyed Mohammad Marandi @s_m_marandi]

We are the nation of martyrdom. We are the nation of Imam Hussain. We shall never accept the slaughter of Palestinian and Lebanese children.

The only people who rise to the very top in a capitalist society are sociopaths and malignant narcissists. The system rewards the ability to not care.

[Revolutionary Blackout Network @RevBlackNetwork]

For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for rational working class liberation.

They supported the struggle against genocidal imperialism not just militarily, but by equipping the Global South with doctors, medicine, infrastructure & literacy initiatives.

THANK YOU CUBA 🇨🇺

Israel has destroyed over 80% of Gaza, 100% of Gaza's population is displaced, 50% of the martyrs are children, and there are more than 100,000 martyrs.

This can only be called a genocide.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Leaked documents show Israeli drones made by Elbit – which has factories in the UK – took a leading a role in the mass slaughter in Gaza, with onboard AI systems selecting targets autonomously, based on algorithms. The drones are integrated into a "Server in the Sky".

Palestine Action was declared a terrorist organisation by the UK government for trying to destroy this drone production.

Israel announced last week its annual defence exports had surged by 30% on the back of showcasing what Israeli tech can do in Gaza, to $20 billion.

@ProudSocialist They should send them a fat bill for the environmental destruction they’ve done.

A minute of silence was held in honour of all the doctors, medics and healthcare workers killed by the israelis in Gaza during the genocide

[🔻 @uncle_authority]

the Soviet Union had women cosmonauts and a legion of decorated antifascist war heroines the same year women in Canada were first "allowed" to open bank accounts without their husbands' written permission.

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

their genocidal Jewish supremacist hatred of Palestinians is but a reflection of their hatred of everyone and anyone who dares resist their demand for total submission and slavery. It does not matter what your background is or who you are, if you refuse to submit, they will treat you as a sub-human that needs to be destroyed, and they will use all the resources they have to make sure you are. They have no inkling of concepts like empathy and care, especially the "progressive liberal" ones. Especially them. They are pure amoral ghouls, evil incarnate, who only see each other as human and worthy of recognition.

Treat them as they treat you, or you will be destroyed.

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

"Critican a Israel por hacer la guerra mas justa y moral de la historia de la humanidad. Las enormes muestras de odio que recibimos de todo el planeta, es porque saben que cuando tomemos el poder, habrá una eliminación total de los demás poderes".

El rabino sionista Isser Zalman Weisberg, alaba el genocidio en Gaza como el "mas moral y justo de la historia" y asegura que cuando construyan el Templo en Jerusalén harán una "eliminación total" de los demás poderes en el mundo.

Estos son los asesores espirituales de altos rangos militares de "Israel", tienen sus propias escuelas militares religiosas donde adoctrinan estas locuras a los soldados sionistas.
