What a creative way of describing ethnic cleansing.

they’re literally copy-pasting genocide vocabulary away from the people actually being annihilated. western media spent 3 years attempting to downplay what we witnessed in gaza and spitting in our face with this hasbara.

Numbers are political; reporting on them often serves a political function and this is one of the most abysmal examples. In this article the LBC gives a total of 4 possible numbers of Iranians killed by their government ranging from around 16,500 to 80,000 - no sources provided. It does cite a single random finance guy, positioned as an activist, with zero credibility or even methodological training. Again, zero sources cited. It’s actually shocking how journalistically egregious this article is.

Palestinian healthcare workers provided every single name they could for their dead, with ages included, and the whole of Western news media offered them as ‘liars’ and inherently questionable when their healthcare ministry was labelled “Hamas-run”. There were countless headlines and words dedicated to denying the number of Palestinians killed.

What’s the difference in determining these numbers that lends itself to this difference in treatment?

If we believe our own analysis of the current situation, you should not feel protected by laws, rules, procedure, and protocol. These people do not care and will not be punished.

ICE will continue killing people until people start killing ICE agents.

That's just the fundamental truth of the epoch we're currently living in.

After having cut most or nearly all of the medical aid that the United States used to provide to Africa, Trump now announces that he will allocate over 1.6 billion dollars to support Kenya's healthcare system over the next five years. Of course, this decision is not driven by love for the Kenyan people or concern for their health. It comes within a broader set of strategic calculations, which became evident today during the presence of Kenyan President William Ruto in Washington for the so-called peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, represented by the M23 militia.

Ruto was appointed as a high-level African guarantor for the next phase of the agreement not because Washington sought a neutral guarantor, but because it wanted a compliant ally. Ruto, a loyal servant who has consistently carried out US directives, most recently in Haiti, proved ideal for enforcing a fragile peace that gives the agreement regional cover and the appearance of legitimacy. This peace was essentially designed to protect the economic and military interests of international and regional powers in Congo, foremost among them control over the vital mineral supply chains that the world’s major powers compete over.

It is worth noting that this medical aid is not merely a reward for Ruto’s role in Congo. It comes with an even more alarming condition. The agreement grants Washington the right to access Kenyans’ health data and collect medical samples from the population for the next twenty-five years.

This is not a victory. This is a deflection, and yet another theatrical charade. This is purely a symbolic gesture from western states to wash their hands of their complicity in enabling the genocide in Gaza. A performative antic that doesn't stop the genocide, but will act as a compromise offered to Palestinians so the ethnic cleansing can continue.

Its also meaningless when they will only be recognizing a Palestinian state in conjunction with Israel in its contemporary iteration— as defined by and within the 1967 boundaries— which only further legitimizes Israel's illegal settler colonial expansionism and existence as a ethnosupremacist death cult hellbent on exterminating all Palestinian life.

As we have witnessed in Gaza in real time. Not to mention that the current Palestinian Authority as representative of that state is a corrupt entity that only exists to service the interests of Israel anyway.

And that's the actual issue— Israel existing as it does. There can't be a free Palestine as long as it does. There can't be two states. There must only be a single state, as there always was historically, where everyone lived side by side as equals.

Canada, the UK, or France aren't going to be recognizing a truly liberated free Palestine. Canada just banned an Irish band from entering because they made statements in support of the resistance fighting for Palestinian liberation. The UK charged them with promoting terrorism recently. When the right to resist occupation is enshrined in international law.

A liberated Palestine can not exist as long as the zionist entity exists because its very existence necessitates it to genocide Palestinians, as it has in Gaza.

the New York Times was the one that first laundered the genocidal hoax that Hamas was working with UNRWA to steal aid. The Israeli regime directly fed this line to NYT Mossad asset Ronen Bergman and Patrick Kingsley, they destroyed UNRWA, and now they admit it was all a lie:

[Dr. CBS @drcbs_]

Look. P a l e s t i n i a n s in G a z a are not “starving due to lack of aid.” They are being systematically and brutally starved by Isr*** to escalate war-intensified genoc*de into extermination and permanent expulsion. Period.

A Thread 🧵

It’s a year to the day that Gen Z protesters stormed the Kenyan parliament - and people are back on the streets to mark the occasion.

Rights groups say 60 people were killed in the police crackdown on the protests last year. Their ‘crime’ was to demand a functional and just nation. The initial spark was opposition to planned tax hikes (intended to please the International Monetary Fund). But 25 June 2024 is now seared into the national consciousness as a symbol of state violence and repression. However, it has also become a day symbolic of resistance and of commemoration for the young revolutionaries who gave their lives.

The harsh economic realities that first drove Gen Z onto the streets haven’t improved. Up to a million young people enter the job market in Kenya every year, yet the majority do not secure employment. Healthcare remains largely inaccessible to the majority, and approximately 36% of the population lives in extreme poverty. Meanwhile, the gap between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots’ keeps widening, fuelling frustration and unrest.

Kenyan MPs remain some of the world’s highest paid relative to the country’s GDP. They push for higher wages for themselves, despite nearly every corner of the capital Nairobi’s business district - where the parliament sits - reminding them how hard life is for young people: homeless, glue-sniffing, intoxication and begging.

Approximately 75% of Kenya’s population is aged 35 or below. This youthful majority is determined to reclaim the country and steer it onto a path that truly serves and works for the common man. Swipe left to see some images from today’s demonstration and how today, just like a year ago, the protestors are still met with violence instead of solutions.

The US does't get "dragged" into wars. Obama wasn’t dragged into bombing Yemen for the Saudis. Biden wasn't dragged into supporting genocide in Gaza. And Trump won't be dragged into a war with Iran for Israel. When the U.S. joins a war, it's a policy choice, not a mishap.

[Nina Farnia @NinaFarnia]

Israel just hit civilian buildings in Tehran. Don't believe CNN reports that they only attacked military targets. This is a US-led attack with US-made talking points.
