White phosphorus.

Cluster bombs.

Cancer-causing toxic chemicals.

Israel is not only bombing and killing civilians in South Lebanon and Gaza — it is deliberately poisoning the land itself, making it unsafe for generations to come.

@AustralianJA Maybe, and I'm just putting it out there, could it be because you are a group of psychopathic genocidal cunts that anti zionist feelings are becoming more common worldwide. Perhaps if you were a little less fucked in your collective heads we might put up with your existence.

Under The Western Empire You Get Punished For Having A Conscience

Wow, @AlboMP and @SenatorWong, if this is still ok for you two, then fuck you all. Do you not have a conscience at all?

[Alon Mizrahi @alon_mizrahi]

Last weekend in Al-Khalil (Hebron) Israeli soldiers fired at a Palestinian family in their car. The soldiers claimed the car was speeding at them.

A 7-month-old baby died from agunshot to the head.

It turns out someone took a video of the incident. The car fully stopped. The soldier fired anyway.

He murdered a baby, and almost an entire family, in cold blood.

There was no violence and no fighting going on. No unrest. No stress.

This is Israeli society: am industrial scale assembly line of baby murderers in cold blood.

This is the apartheid and occupation Palestinians are forced to live under decade after decade.

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis could have been there instead of that soldier, and make the same decision, and have no emotional response whatsoever.

The Jewish state is a superpower of child murder. And it is protected by all the cultural, political, academic, economic, creative forces of an entire civilization.

May it burn with all its psychopaths and murderers.

[Peter Cronau @PeterCronau]

It’s time for the Federal Police to investigate Australians who are returned Israeli Defense Force soldiers.

“Any Australian who has committed war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide must be held to account and face justice.

“The international rules-based order must be respected and upheld, and the Australian Government must honour its obligations to bring accountability for perpetrators of these grave crimes.

“The impunity must come to an end.”

Blind submission to authority is the result of propaganda and indoctrination, but it's also the result of bad parenting. Raising kids who aren't allowed to say no to you is raising adults who don't think anyone should be allowed to oppose their rulers.

That's mainly what you're seeing in the comments section of any viral police brutality video with people defending the cop's actions and saying the victim should have complied with commands more perfectly. All they're really saying is "Don't disobey Daddy and you won't get smacked!"

You can see their parenting in their faces when conversing about politics and news in person. Discuss the latest act of war or abuse with someone who's been trained to reflexively obey authority and you can watch them running calculations trying to find excuses to justify why the powerful are correct in this given instance, even if you're presenting them with brand new information. They never pause to reflect on whether their apologia is grounded in facts or morality; they begin with the assumption that the authority figure must be correct and work backward from there.

All the worst things that have ever happened were the result of people obeying authority when they should have disobeyed. Genocides. Wars. Slavery. Tyranny. Injustice. They were all made possible by obedience, not disobedience. And that remains the case today.

If you want to raise kids who'll help make the world a better place when they grow up, then you've got to put your ego in the back seat and let them say no and walk their own path, because you are teaching them how to relate to authority in a world where the authority figures are the villains causing all our problems.

Obviously you can't let your kid do things that will cause actual concrete harm to themselves, but most of the limits parents set on their children from day to day have nothing to do with protecting them from harm. If they don't want to kiss Grandpa then don't make them kiss Grandpa. If they don't want to eat this or that food then don't force them. If they reject you or hurt your feelings, don't put the needs of your ego in that moment ahead of your desire to raise a citizen who can defy authority when that is what's called for. The real material harm they cause by defying this or that social convention or going against your personal wishes is basically nothing, especially when compared to the harm that would be caused by training them to blindly obey authority in a world that is ruled by psychopaths.

It is absolutely necessary to set boundaries with your children at times, because you need to be modeling what healthy boundary-setting looks like, and because you don't want to raise a malignant narcissist who thinks the world revolves around them and their desires. But it is equally necessary to show them that their own boundaries are legitimate and permissible, because otherwise they won't set them in their own lives.

So many abusive dynamics arise from the erosion of people's healthy "no". That's how people wind up joining cults and getting trapped in abusive marriages, and it's how they wind up consenting to the rule of abusive governments who should have been overthrown long ago. Their healthy "no" was gradually worn down, first by their parenting and then by the psychological manipulation of the abuser.

"No" is an essential skill. Giving your child a healthy "no" is as important as teaching them how to meet any other developmental milestone like walking, speaking, reading or preparing food. That's how you keep them free from abusive relationships, and that's how you keep their minds free from the propaganda of the powerful.

The Shot just exposed Australia is manufacturing nitroglycerin, nitrocellulose & RDX for Israel's bombs.

These explosives are made in govt-owned plants, leased to Thales, trucked at night to ports, sent via US/Singapore - straight to Gaza & Lebanon.

When Israel received no points from Australia at Eurovision, Australians joked that the government was going to treat it as a menacing act of antisemitism, because that’s how crazy things have gotten down here. Now here’s an Australian senator treating the vote like a hate crime.

They are building a UFC arena
on the White House lawn,
because the world has gone insane,
and there are chatbots in our skulls,
and our eyes have been crossed out
with black ink.

They are building a UFC arena
on the White House lawn
so the president can watch men fight in a cage
while the Paramount Plus audience
watches military recruitment ads
marketed to teenagers
and a podcast plutocrat
interviews men with bloody hands
as shame-soaked survivors
sleep on the sidewalk
in Washington DC,

as Cuban parents light a candle
and skip another meal,

as Lebanese medics
die in double-tap airstrikes,

as billionaires cackle
about stripping all human knowledge
and selling it back to us
as a subscription service,

as we shovel fistfuls of mood stabilizers
down our gullets
to keep us functional enough
to turn the gears of industry,

as we sit in dark rooms
with flashing screens and dead eyes
while silverfish crawl all over us,

as women hold loaded pistols
to their heads on camera
to pleasure men who have concrete
in their chests,

as The Last Good Thing on the Internet
gets purchased by Google
and turned into military software
where it will be used
to train weaponized robot dogs
to rape prisoners in IDF torture camps,

as forgotten godlings awaken within us
to sharpen our teeth and our blades,

as Nature returns
wearing a necklace of wet skulls
to reclaim all that was stolen from Her,

as the blood on the Octagon canvas
mixes
with the blood of the Muslim martyrs.

They are building a UFC arena
on the White House lawn
so the president can watch men fight in a cage
from the comfort of his home
on his birthday.

He does not know
about the strange beasts
stirring with in us.

He does not know
about the sharpening blades.

Hi Jonah,

I'm Jewish. Many of my closest friends are Jewish. I love them all. My family is Jewish, I love them all too. My community is Jewish. Love them too. I love Judaism. I host shabbat dinners, celebrate Jewish holidays, sing Jewish prayers, study Torah & Talmud, and love Jewish culture, history and expression.

Judaism existed for thousands of years before Apartheid Israel came into existence, and Judaism will exist for thousands of years after Apartheid Israel collapses.

That's because the ideology of Apartheid Israel is Zionism, an ideological movement that set out to build a Jewish state with a Jewish majority working at Jewish-only cooperatives living in Jewish-only colonies owned by Jewish-only land authorities operating Jewish-only schools in a country of overwhelmingly non-Jews. What could possibly go wrong?

A short summary: That's why, when Zionists bought land in Palestine from the 1900s-1948, they uprooted the people living on the land because they weren't jewish. https://t.co/HRdm0V6YDS and https://t.co/5et8PsWW0Y

That's why, when Zionists created cooperatives in Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, they insisted on "Hebrew Labor", i.e., "Jews only" -- no Arabs allowed. That's why, in the 1930s, Zionists expelled Palestinian Arabs from working at Jewish companies and business. https://t.co/oXfyJsXdja

That's why, in 1948, Zionists militias ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. https://t.co/A6l95xmTfe

That's why, from 1949-1956, Israeli forces shot & killed b/w 2,700-5,000 overwhelmingly unarmed Palestinians trying to return to their homes after the war. Because they were the wrong religion/ethnicity https://t.co/s2RBvsdjMw

That's why Israel expelled another ~30-40,000 Palestinians from Israel from 1949-1959. https://t.co/1d4VqUk5lc

That's why Israel expelled another ~250,000 Palestinians from Gaza & the West Bank when it occupied those territories in 1967. https://t.co/aDxfsfnf9l

That's why Israel continued to expel Palestinians from the occupied territories from 1968-1993, many hundreds of thousands of them. https://t.co/16FarJ83q4

The Zionists wanted to create a Jewish State with a Jewish majority in a land of overwhelmingly Palestinians. That's why Israel has become such a pariah state over the years, because it's insistence on jewish rule in a country with so many Palestinians. That's why Zionism has led Israel to become an apartheid state, according to every relevant human rights organization ( @ICAHD in 2010, @UNESCWA in 2017, @YeshDin in 2020, @AdalahCenter in 2020, @btselem in 2021, @hrw in 2021, @fidh_en in 2021, @alhaq_org in 2022, @Addameer in 2022, @AlMezanCenter in 2022, @cacalqudsuni in 2022, @AdvocacyJlac in 2022, @miftahpal in 2022, @ICJ_org in 2022, @DAWNmenaorg in 2022, @amnesty in 2022)....

....Since it cannot grant the ~5-6 million occupied Palestinians Israeli citizenship. Israel chose apartheid and Jewish supremacy over democracy.

Zionism also explains why Israel is now committing genocide (according to @amnesty , @hrw , @btselem , @MSF , IAGS, @alhaq_org , @UNHumanRights , @UN_HRC , @pchrgaza , @AlMezanCenter , @WarOnWant , @PHRIsrael , @fidh_en , PHROC, @LemkinInstitute , @theCCR , @ECCHRBerlin , @unitedforrights @JURDIasso , @TheElders , @Oxfam ), because, what a Zionist dream it would have been had Palestine been a land without any people on it! the ideology incentivized genocide.

So, please don't conflate Judaism -- that has existed for thousands of years -- with your modern, fascist anti-Jewish political ideology founded on the principles of forcible displacement & genocide.

Judaism will last as long as their are humans on the planet. Israel is imploding in real time.

Israel Rapes Everyone, And Other Notes

International flotilla activists say they were subjected to torture and sexual assault by Israeli forces after being abducted in international waters while attempting to bring aid to Gaza.

A statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla reports that the IDF held the activists on a makeshift “torture boat”, asserting that “At least 12 sexual assaults have been documented on that vessel alone, including anal rape and forcible penetration by a handgun.”

This comes after a New York Times report on Israel’s systemic use of sexual torture in its prison camps sent hasbarists howling in outrage for days, and after a Haaretz report on the Israeli military’s internal findings that sexual assault is soaring among its own ranks.

If you knew someone who was constantly being accused of rape by different people on a daily basis, at some point you’d have to conclude that that person is a rapist. When you see the Israeli military being constantly accused by people from all walks of life of using rape and sexual torture, you have to conclude that Israel is a rape country.

❖

They made up lies about atrocities so that they could justify committing atrocities. They made up lies about rape so that they could justify rape. They made up lies about dead babies to justify killing babies. They framed themselves as victims to justify victimizing others.

❖

It looks like the US may be reaching a deal with Iran, with warmongers like Mike Pompeo, Lindsey Graham and Mark Dubowitz expressing dismay at the terms the agreement appears likely to include.

I no longer feel a sense of relief when the US war machine shows signs of de-escalation, because these days it’s just a sign they’re getting ready to escalate somewhere else. If Washington sets up an memo of understanding with Iran it only means they’re preparing to regime change Cuba, with plans to re-target Iran using different strategies already being drawn up for a later date.

It’s like when you know a guy who always abuses his girlfriends. If you see one of his partners escape her abusive relationship, after a certain point you’re going to stop feeling a sense of relief, because after watching the patterns play out over and over again you know he’s just going to find some other unfortunate woman to put in that spot. The amount of abuse remains constant; all that changes is the victim.

The violence of the US empire remains constant. It moves around, but it doesn’t diminish. If you see it pulling back a bit, that only means it’s preparing to come roaring forward, like a wave to the shore.

The tide of imperial violence is going to keep returning until the empire is dismantled.

❖

There’s nothing more undignified than buying into the US war propaganda about Cuba. I see people show up in my replies arguing that Cuba is actually a real threat to the United States and it feels like they’re showing me videos of themselves eating feces. It’s so self-debasing.

❖

Normalize telling warmongering gusanos to shut the fuck up. US regime change interventionism is evil regardless of wherever your family happens to come from. Your family fleeing Cuba in the sixties does not magically make siege warfare and mass murder acceptable. Shut up.

❖

Point 1: Every relevant human rights group says Israel is an apartheid state.

Point 2: Every relevant human rights group says Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza.

Point 3: Genocidal apartheid states should not exist.

Point 4: If you disagree with Point 3, you’re a bad person.

❖

Normal person: Genocide is bad.

Israel supporter: Just say you hate Jews.

Normal person: I oppose Zionism.

Israel supporter: Jews. You mean Jews. Say Jews.

Normal person: The Israel lobby is causing problems.

Israel supporter: Jews Jews Jews Jews Jewy Jew Jews.

Normal person: But I don’t mean Jews. I’m expressing specific grievances against a specific state, its backers, and the political ideology it is premised upon. I judge people based on their individual actions, not on their religion.

Israel supporter: JEWWWWWWS.

Normal person: You realize you’re doing the exact same thing neo-Nazis do, right? You’re conflating all Jews with everything bad about Israel and the forces which give rise to its abuses.

Israel supporter: It is antisemitic to conflate all Jews with the actions of Israel.

Normal person: Then why do you keep conflating all Jews with the actions of Israel?

Israel supporter: Because it is antisemitic not to conflate all Jews with the actions of Israel.
