ABD'nin Gazze için "Barış Kurulu" planı boş çıktı. Katılan devletler para vermedi. Sanırım asker veren de yok. Sonuç: İsrail Gazze'nin tümünü işgal etmeye hazırlanıyor. Ardından büyük katliam gelebilir. Netanyahu directs army to occupy 70 percent of Gaza https://t.co/UAaFKebkSw

Democracy only spread because it was the best system for producing compliant trading partners.
A democracy has elections. Elections require parties. Parties require financing. Financing requires capital. Capital has interests. So by design, every democracy in the world has a built-in mechanism that ensures the people with money have disproportionate access to the people with power.

You don’t need to bribe a dictator and hope he stays in power. In a democracy, you just fund both candidates and own the outcome regardless.
This is why US spent the Cold War toppling democracies that elected the wrong people Mossadegh in Iran, Allende in Chile, Lumumba in Congo and replacing them with dictators who were more “stable.” Stable meaning: predictable to capital.

The genius of it is the aesthetics. Democracy looks like self-determination. It has flags and anthems and moving inauguration speeches. People will die for it. But the operating system underneath is remarkably friendly to concentrated wealth arguably more so than overt authoritarianism, which at least makes the power visible.

The most honest political scientists will tell you: what actually spread after 1989 was markets. Democracy was the packaging.
And the packaging worked so well that the people inside it genuinely believe they’re free which is the final, most elegant feature of the system.
A cage you can’t see is the strongest cage ever built.

Senin İsmail'in kim veya ne?

İbrahim'in sahnesi Mina'dasın şu an; İbrahim gibi davranmak üzeresin. O, oğlu İsmail'i kurban etmek için getirmişti. Senin İsmail'in kim veya ne? Mevkiin mi? Şerefin mi? Mesleğin mi? Paran mı? Evin mi? Çiftliğin mi? Araban mı? Aşkın mı? Bilgin mi? Sosyal sınıfın mı? Sanatın mı? Elbisen mi? Hayatın mı? Gençliğin mi? Güzelliğin mi? Hangisi... Ben bilemem. Fakat sen kendini bilirsin. Kim ve ne olursa olsun, beraberinde buraya kurban etmek için getirmelisin. Sana hangisini olduğunu söyleyemem, ama yardımcı olmak için bazı ipuçları verebilirim; inancını ne zayıflatıyorsa sorumluluk kabul etmekten ne geri çeviriyorsa, çağrıyı duymana ne ve gerçeği itiraf etmene ne engel oluyorsa "kaçma"ya ne zorluyorsa, rahatın için bahaneler bulmana ne yol açıyorsa, seni kör ve sağır ediyorsa... işte odur kurban edeceğin!

Francesca Albanese just exposed the ugly truth: The New York Times ignored Palestinian rape testimonies for over a year.

She gave them a lengthy interview in February 2024. Nothing followed.

UNRWA detailed torture and sexual abuse. Nothing.

B'Tselem. Physicians for Human Rights. The UN Committee Against Torture-which concluded torture is Israeli state policy. The UN Commission -which called it systematic, widespread, and an act of genocide.

All ignored.

But now the NYT finally publishes? Suddenly it's a scandal

The rape didn't start when the NYT noticed. The silence just became harder to maintain

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

For the first time since the 1967 occupation, Israel is expelling an entire Palestinian neighborhood in Jerusalem.

The Silwan area, located near the "Holy Basin," the Temple Mount, and al-Aqsa Mosque, is home to many archaeological and historical sites of exceptional significance.

As of April 2026, approximately 1,800 residents in Silwan are under threat of expulsion, after hundreds have already been uprooted and left homeless in the past two years. In Baten al-Hawa alone, 33 families have already been expelled, and 53 additional families, including 130 children, face a similar fate. In al-Bustan, Israel has already demolished 48 homes and plans to demolish the homes of 123 more families, which will lead to the expulsion of approximately 1,450 people.

The expulsion in Silwan is part of a policy of ethnic cleansing throughout the entire West Bank.

Francesca Albanese has documented that torture in Israeli prisons is institutionalized. Enabled by law. Shielded by courts. Normalized in public discourse.

Zero media coverage. The Western press has ignored it completely. This is not a failure of journalism. It is a choice

[New Direction AFRICA @Its_ereko]

🚨🇧🇪 JUST IN: Belgium just seized two British military shipments bound for Israel. At Liège Airport. 33 crates. Military components including lasers, sights, fire control systems, and aircraft parts.

The cargo arrived by truck from the UK. It was supposed to fly to Tel Aviv on a Challenge Airlines flight. Belgian customs stopped it after NGOs tipped them off about irregularities in the manifest.

Why? Because Belgium has a ban on military equipment transiting to Israel. These items lacked the required permits. So they were seized. On the spot.

A European country just blocked British weapons from reaching Israel. Not Iran. Not Russia. Israel. And the shipments came from the UK, one of Israel's closest allies.

The NGOs that tipped off Belgian customs? Declassified UK and Vredesactie. British journalists helped stop British weapons.

The world is changing. Even Europe is drawing lines. The question now is how many more shipments will get stopped before the public finds out.

Declassified files reveal Zionist Jewish terrorist militias contacted Nazi Germany with goal of advancing imperial aims in Palestine
——
A report by Haaretz citing newly declassified archival files has revealed that elements within pre-state Jewish underground terrorist groups explored contacts with Nazi Germany during the final years of British rule in Palestine.

The files, drawn from Haganah intelligence records titled “Contacts with the Axis,” include testimony from Eliyahu Golomb, founder and commander of the Haganah, who in 1941 warned of suspected contacts between elements of the Jewish underground and German representatives. Golomb pointed to intelligence suggesting that Avraham Stern, leader of the Lehi underground group, had explored indirect channels of communication with Axis powers.

According to the declassified material, Lehi’s ideological stance under Stern viewed the global war as an opportunity to advance an armed revolt against British rule, including consideration of leveraging rival imperial powers. Stern is described as having proposed a “practical agreement” with Nazi Germany, under which Jews could form a military force aligned with German interests in order to help dislodge British control over Palestine and impose Jewish control.

The documents also reference a formal proposal allegedly transmitted by Lehi envoys offering an “active partnership” with Nazi Germany, envisioning a future Jewish state aligned with the German Reich.

This is the world we're living in:

'Trump’s executive order sanctioning Albanese prohibited any American person or entity from providing her with “funds, goods or services” – a description so broad it has been compared to a “civil death”. Her apartment in Washington, bought when she and her family were living in the US capital, has been seized. She can no longer use a credit card anywhere in the world, as almost all such transactions are processed by US-based services. “I go around with cash or I have to borrow from friends or from family members,” she says.

'She accuses pro-Israel activists based in Geneva of hounding her husband, Massimiliano Calì, a senior economist at the World Bank, in a campaign that led to him being removed from his lead position running its Syria file. “The World Bank was completely craven,” Albanese says. “He has stellar records of performance in all his positions.”'

I appeal to European leaders: it is never too late to do the right thing. Stopping trade with and arms transfers to Israel, in light of the illegal occupation and associated crimes, is your obligation. What else must Israel do for you to suspend this agreement?

Beyrut, 1982.

İsrail tankları şehrin ortasında. Henüz Hizbullah yok.

Sonra Hizbullah ortaya çıkıyor ve 18 yıllık bir mücadelenin ardından onları ülkeden atıyor.

Şimdi Lübnan hükümetinin başbakanı Nevvaf Selam bu Hizbullah'ı silahsızlandırmaya çalışıyor. Ateşkese Lübnan dahil olmasın diye çalışıyor. İsrail kendi ülkesinde katliamlar yaparken o İsrail'le anlaşmaya çalışıyor. İsrail'i ülkesine davet ederken, İran'ı ülkesinden atmak istiyor. Tarihin gördüğü en utanç verici başbakanlardan biri.
