"The great error of nearly all studies of war, an error into which all socialists have fallen, has been to consider war as an episode in foreign politics, when it is especially an act of interior politics, and the most atrocious act of all", so observed the French philosopher Simone Weil.
From this perspective, targetting the drinking-water tanks in Sirik, southern Iran, strips the mask from the true nature of the power; a power that has spent decades cloaking itself in the language of 'human rights', 'international order', and 'moral responsibility' reveals its essence when it deliberately destroys the drinking water of Iranians. In that moment, it does not merely attack a target — it strikes at the very foundation of the noble narrative it has built about itself.
Empires do not fall when their enemies grow stronger; they fall when they can no longer sustain the bridge between what they proclaim and what they do.
The moment of decline is not the collapse of city walls; it is the collapse of the credibility of words that have long concealed reality. What remains is what T.S. Eliot so hauntingly described:
"Shape without form, shade without colour, paralysed force, gesture without motion."
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

What does it say about you if you look at this infant and see a threat that must be eliminated?
And what does it say about the values of the countries that defend and enable these murders?
This is the 7-month-old Palestinian baby shot & killed by an Israeli soldier yesterday.
So glad to see this book come to light. A powerful exposé of media complicity in manufacturing consent that has enabled mass atrocities in Palestine.
May there be accountability.
One killed journalist might be a tragic accident.
Two killed journalists are undeniable attempts to intimidate journalists and suppress freedom of press.
Over 260 dead journalists in 2.5 years is the works of the most ruthless terrorist organization in the history of the world.
Defend the Defenders! Defend those who defend the defenceless!
Courage (@couragefound) reports the US government is staging a direct assault on international justice. By sanctioning Francesca Albanese, 8 ICC judges, and Palestinian NGOs for providing evidence of US and Israeli war crimes – the US is crippling the ability of the ICC to bring war criminals to justice.

Absolute bombshell. Prominent UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese confirms the entire Israeli nation is aware of the systematic torture of Palestinians. She exposes how doctors actively supervise and cover up the severe abuse and rape of detainees. Sickening complicity.
The most remarkable part of this US/Israel imposed illegal on Iran is the vitalisation of the patriotic sentiments of the Iranian people to defend their country. This photograph moves me greatly.
مردم ایران در چهل روز جنگ، شجاعانه در برابر یک ابرقدرت و یک قدرت منطقهای ایستادند و نشان دادند که بهحق وارث یکی از کهنترین و ریشهدارترین تمدنهای جهان هستند.
Do I really have to tell people there is ZERO possibility of the US ever agreeing to "peace" with Iran or honoring any agreement made with the US?
...especially after the US has launched TWO wars of aggression against Iran 2 years in a row DURING NEGOTIATIONS and KILLING the very people the US was supposedly "negotiating" with?
....especially considering the US is waging war on Iran as part of a wider war on multipolarism and especially China - a wider war the US is STILL escalating against Russia and preparing for against China...?
Do I need to repeat myself and warn this is about rearming, reorganizing, and/or creating plausible deniability ahead of a US-planned, organized, and backed "Israeli" strike on Iran - possibly with nuclear weapons?
Or is everyone going to once again allow their emotions, bias, and fantasies take over when they hear news they want to hear?
When does common sense come in and allow people to finally discern "if it sounds too good to be true it probably ISN'T true?"
The U.S. under Donald Trump is an immediate threat to the world, undermining democracy, trashing international law, and dragging the world toward chaos. And our European leaders are either too cowardly to challenge him or totally aligned. They must be stopped right now as a matter of urgency.
I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.
'Watch Palestine 36'. - Hollywood actor Mark Ruffalo urges Americans to watch the film and understand the history that has been hidden from them by the Epstein class.
If this is an honest question, I’d say: Americans are rooting against America because we facilitated a genocide and followed it with a surprise attack on a girls elementary school followed by attacks on universities, medical centers, more schools, a world famous pharmaceutical research center, a volley ball team, an unfinished bridge we claimed was transporting weapons and then a nuclear power plant. We are now promising endless attacks on civilian infrastructure.
We are hunting and targeting anyone who might be involved in ceasefire negotiations.
Most people do not pay enough attention to have absorbed all the propaganda about the U.S. and Iran. So people coming to this fresh see us for what we are: absolute monsters. And monsters must be stopped. That’s why people are rooting against us and for civilization to prevail.
