@merikuh @DailySignal @Markmywordszzz @VDHanson What Israel is doing is hardly

[Martin Pod @dj__pod]

@damian1171 @DailySignal @VDHanson Why is it in US' interest to support Israel? They're a pariah state. Allying with them tarnishes US' image abroad and makes Americans complicit in genocide.

@USIEducation @DailySignal @josh_hammer @VDHanson Your bubble has burst. Even maga ain't swallowing the propaganda anymore.

[Martin Pod @dj__pod]

@wafflebaconboy @DailySignal @VDHanson How does one acknowledge that Israel is committing ethnic cleansing yet in the same statement say we should support them?

[Martin Pod @dj__pod]

@KarenDavid47792 @DailySignal @VDHanson I'd argue Israel's power projection is global too. They've captured 2 of our main political parties, and arguably a third, here in the UK, and Bibi openly brags of having US Congress in his pocket. They control large sections of global mainstream media, including our bbc.

@DailySignal @VDHanson ... but America has done more to subvert democracy across the globe than any other nation in history.

@USIEducation @TCNetwork How can it be a true democracy....its literally an apartheid state?

[Martin Pod @dj__pod]

@DBCooperTX @TCNetwork The polls show the opposite. Support for Israel has plummeted amongst all demographics apart from elderly republicans.

@CUNY_Prof @TCNetwork Struggling to believe this man is a professor. He's just not articulating like someone educated to that level

[Martin Pod @dj__pod]

@John_Rossomando @TCNetwork So basically, the USA is using Israel to test the killing efficiency of its weapons on palestinian civilians.

@PeterStefanovi2 Let's have a petition about Israeli influence on our govt first

Americans Have No Idea Who Their Government Is Bombing

An article by Antiwar’s Dave DeCamp has highlighted the widely-ignored fact that according to AFRICOM the US waged a three-day bombing campaign in Somalia from October 26 — October 28, bringing the total number of US airstrikes in that nation this year to 89.

What percentage of Americans even realize that Trump has bombed Somalia nearly a hundred times this year? I doubt it’s even one percent. The mainstream press barely mention it. Americans have hardly any idea who their own country is bombing.

In theory the press are there to create an informed electorate who can then use their votes to move their government in a healthy direction. In practice the press are there to keep the public too ignorant, propagandized and distracted to meddle in the workings of the imperial machine.

Israel keeps violating the “ceasefire” and bombing Gaza whenever it wants to, then saying the ceasefire is back in effect. It’s like saying you’ve quit smoking whenever you’re not currently having a cigarette.

NPR reports that after a mid-“ceasefire” bombing campaign that killed 104 people including 46 children, Benjamin Netanyahu “ordered the strikes after accusing Hamas of violating the ceasefire for handing over body parts this week that Israel said were partial remains of a hostage recovered earlier in the war.”

Saying you massacred children because you weren’t given the correct pieces of a corpse just might be the craziest justification for a war crime that anyone has ever offered.

❖

Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon accused UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese of witchcraft for her report on Israel’s genocidal atrocities in Gaza. That’s right. Witchcraft.

“Miss Albanese, you are a witch and this report is another page in your spell book,” Danon said in response to Albanese’s remarks to the UN’s Third Committee on Gaza.

Says a lot about the strength of their arguments, really.

Pro-Palestine arguments are like, “Here’s raw video footage of atrocities, IDF admissions of war crimes, IDF soldiers documenting their own sadism, eyewitness testimony from western doctors, and analysis from every major human rights group,” while pro-Israel arguments are like, “You’re a witch doing witchcraft!”

❖

Israeli media report that their government is preparing to wage a “propaganda war” for when foreign journalists are able to gain access to Gaza in advance of the expected PR fallout as the world learns “the human stories from Gaza in the voices and faces of the residents themselves.”

It’s such a trip how as a state the Israelis understand the importance of perception management more acutely than any nation on earth, but as individuals they still can’t resist the urge to club an old woman on camera or post pictures of themselves wearing stolen panties in Gaza. Really drives home how the entire state is premised on the understanding that its existence depends on actively cultivating the support of powerful western military forces using aggressive lobbying and propaganda campaigns, but the state is also premised on extreme hatred and racism, and these two essential ingredients are clashing with more and more regularity when it comes to Gaza.

❖

It’s not okay to still support a two-state solution in 2025. Israel has spent two years showing the world that it should not exist as a state. It needs to be disarmed, dismantled, and denazified.

It was still excusable to naively believe a two-state solution was workable prior to 2023, but after two years of Israeli officials openly saying with the overwhelming support of their citizenry that there will never be a Palestinian state while committing a genocide in full view of the entire world, this is no longer a tenable position to have. There is no longer any excuse for still believing the state of Israel will allow the Palestinians to have a fully sovereign state and leave them in peace, especially not after watching it wage war on all its neighbors with the blatantly obvious goal of domination and territorial expansion.

The Israel experiment has been run. The results of that experiment show that it is not workable. Everything we’ve seen these last two years is the result of Zionists getting everything they want. This is what that looks like. The world needs to terminate the experiment by any means necessary and end the Zionist state forever.

❖

Groyper leader Nick Fuentes just went on Infowars to join Alex Jones in endorsing regime change interventionism in Venezuela by the Trump administration.

The entire American right is just Dick Cheney wearing various costumes. The empire doesn’t just control the opposition, it controls the opposition to the opposition.

@Artemisfornow Brilliant. I've been advocating for this for Bristol for years.

[Martin Pod @dj__pod]

@ArthurKenny12 @OldRoberts953 No but they'll give a Palestinian flag waver 4 years for talking about arranging a peaceful protest on a zoom call. The right wing don't have the monopoly on persecution.
