States. Must. Intervene.
This isn’t genius, it’s leadership.
1. Impose an arms embargo and cut trade.
2. Break the blockade with your humanitarian navies.
3. Send a protective presence to Palestine to ensure Israel dismantles its occupation NOW.

Because of Musk's censorship of content on X which effectively means any ani-Establishment voices are muted and shadow banned I'll be putting out content more regularly on Telegram @philthevas where censorship is not so deadening to debate and discussion.

Israel Flipped Out And Killed 45 Palestinians After Running Over Their Own Bomb
In today’s news, Israel’s stupid fucking genocidal rapists ran over an unexploded ordnance from their own evil carpet bombing campaign, blamed Hamas for the explosion, started bombing the fuck out of Gaza again, killed scores of civilians, said they were once again cutting off aid to the enclave, and then quietly backed down on urging from Washington.
Rather than report that Israel violated the ceasefire agreement as blatantly as any agreement could possibly be violated, the western press have been referring to this as a “test” of the ceasefire. Killing Palestinians is so normalized and accepted as a baseline expectation in the western press that CNN called it the “first major test” of the ceasefire after Israel killed people in Gaza every single day since the ceasefire agreement was signed.
I hope the “WHY AREN’T YOU CELEBRATING?” crowd have gotten their answer by now. We weren’t celebrating because we know more than you. We’ve actually been paying attention, so we know Israel is going to seek out every excuse to kill Palestinians and torch this fake “ceasefire”.
The Israeli government keep issuing statements making it explicitly clear that Israel will not consider the “war” over until Hamas is fully disarmed and Gaza is fully demilitarized, terms that the Palestinian resistance has explicitly refused. These mutually contradictory positions place Gaza on a collision course toward full-scale reignition of the genocide.

Whenever I talk about the IDF massacring civilians for inadvertently traveling into zones Israel has banned them from in Gaza I’ve been getting Israel apologists bleating “but they crossed the Yellow Line!” at me, which I guess is the new hasbara narrative.
Imagine thinking this is a good argument. Imagine thinking it’s perfectly reasonable to blow up a car full of children if they cross a made-up invisible line.
Think about how dehumanized Palestinians would have to be in your mind to believe this is a sane and reasonable position to have. To feel that deadly force via heavy war machinery is a perfectly fine way of administering crowd control.
Imagine if that was happening in your country. If police just blew up your vehicle if you accidentally turned onto a one-way street or made an unauthorized U-turn. If they could send a drone to go pick you off if you were walking down a street they didn’t think you should be on.
You’d never stand for it. You’d demand they find other ways to direct traffic besides deadly force.
“How about some signs?” you would say. “How about using verbal warnings and loudspeakers? How about road blocks? How about just not fucking murdering a vehicle full of kids for moving in an unauthorized way?”
But because it’s Palestinians, it never occurs to them that this should be the expectation. Palestinians deserve to be executed for the slightest transgression against the most arbitrary restriction.
Israel does this all the time, and its defenders are fine with it. During the aid distribution at GHF sites Israeli soldiers have told the Israeli press that they were ordered to fire upon anyone who moved in an unauthorized way, killing starving civilians every single day for seeking food. During the last “ceasefire” at the beginning of the year civilians would routinely get murdered for taking a donkey cart down the wrong road or whatever.
That’s the sort of thing people support of they stand by Israel. Supporting Israel is an innately racist and murderous position, because you support murdering Palestinian civilians for reasons you would never accept your own people being killed for.
❖
Israeli right wingers have been filmed literally pushing their babies in front of aid trucks in order to block food from getting to starving civilians.
I mean, fuck. Israelis are something else.
❖
Israel cannot stop murdering and abusing and sowing chaos and destruction for even one fucking day and the western empire cannot stop supporting it for even an instant, but if you say anything about this people start making up weird stories about you hating the religion of Judaism.

The Trump administration has ordered the repatriation to Colombia and Ecuador of the survivors of its attack on a boat in the Caribbean Sea, which punches some major plot holes in its claim that it has been blowing up these boats because they are full of Venezuelan “narco-terrorists”. The US isn’t generally in the habit of sending terrorists home, so it’s clear they targeted innocent people and had no case against them.
Anyone buying into the war propaganda about Venezuela is a fucking moron. The lies are dumb even by usual US warmongering standards, and US regime change interventionism is consistently disastrous. People who say they want Trump to remove Maduro are admitting they never grew up.

If we didn’t live under a regime utterly controlled by demonic Zionists Starmer would arrest all visiting Maccabi players, supporters & officials that had supported and/or participated in the genocide in Palestine as required under the UK Genocide Act.
Yes the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are rape-fanatic genocidal Zionists. Yes, they are a threat to British citizens. But they are not the only ones.
Let's remember that Maccabi, from which the team gets its name, is a world wide organisation - the Maccabi World Union - with branches in 70 countries. it is a formal part of the Zionist movement being an affiliate of the World Zionist Organisation. Here are all the various members of the World Union:
The whole organisation is, and always has been, based on a Jewish supremacist concern with sport to build 'strong Jews' who can steal land and kill natives. The first Maccabi society was fittingly founded in 1913 in Odessa, then known as the 'Gates of Zion', now part of Ukraine.
Listen to the Chairman of the Glasgow branch of Maccabi, Harry Shapiro, in 1949 wax lyrical about "virile" Jews being a requirement for the creation of the Zionist colony: "It was essential that Jewish youth who are contemplating emigrating to Israel should go out there not only equipped spiritually, but physically also. That is why it is so essential to have a strong and virile Maccabi branch in Glasgow.”
And of course the Glasgow branch was jubilant about the Nakba and its contribution to the terror gangs that made it possible. Shapiro again:
"it was a source of great jubilation amongst the ranks of Maccabi at the establishment of the State of Israel. Maccabi throughout the world had played its part in reinforcing the ranks of the Haganah during its time of need and Glasgow Maccabi feel proud that out of their ranks, eight men and two women are now proudly bearing the insignia of the Haganah. "
Today Maccabi has fourteen branches in Britain in London, Leeds, Manchester and Glasgow. Its motto in Britain is "for an active Jewish Community" but the word active is an allusion to Jewish supremacy as opposed to simply sport and fitness.
Maccabi pretends that it is a poudly British organisation, featuring a maelstrom of images of the Union Jack in the video compilation on its website landing page. There is barely an Israeli flag visible.
This is a calculated deception. Since Maccabi is also actively involved in supporting the occupation forces via a British charity called Beit Halochem. It is run by Andrew Wolfson of the multigenerational Zionist Wolfson family (who own Next plc) and it channels millions of pounds into supporting the genocidal IOF.

It’s horrifying how much brutality can be crammed into just 41 sec.
Avner Avraham, a former Mossad agent who also dabbles in art & journalism when he’s not daydreaming about wiping out Gaza, openly admits that Israel plants agents in Gaza to launch rockets at Israel just to justify leveling the Strip.
This little girl may have been among those who celebrated the ceasefire, but an airstrike targeted her home in Al-Bureij camp, ending her dreams and her life together.
Safety is fragile... and the war reminds Gaza of its brutality once more.
This guy claiming to be from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group isn't Jewish, the group doesn't exist, and he also works for the Henry Jackson Society, a hard right pro-Zionist think tank. Incredible levels of journalism on display here.
Journalist Nour Odeh reports that Israel continues to close the Rafah border crossing, Gaza's only gateway to the world, in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
🚨 As it turns out, he’s not Jewish, there is no Aston Villa Jewish Supporters Club, and he’s not the president of anything. Other than that, great scoop.
Now I’m declaring myself the Chairman and Supreme Leader of the Yeovil Town Buddhist supporters Alliance.
BREAKING: Gaza authorities say the Israeli army has committed 47 violations of the ceasefire, killing 38 people and wounding another 143
