🧵 SIONISMO STORICO - IL MASSACRO DI BEIT DARAS
Il 21 maggio 1948, le milizie sioniste massacrarono circa il 10% della popolazione del villaggio di Beit Daras, a nord-est di Gaza.
Una forza sionista, coadiuvata da veicoli blindati, raggiunse il villaggio e lo circondò per...1/

في 21 مايو 1948 أبادت العصابات الصهيونية نحو 10% من سكان قرية بيت دراس شمال شرق غزة.
وصلت قوة صهيونية معززة بالمصفحات، إلى قرية وطو��تها لمنع وصول النجدات إليها، ثم بدأت تقصفها بنيران المدفعية والهاونات بغزارة كبيرة، فشعر أهل القرية بحرج الموقف وقرروا الصمود والدفاع عن منازلهم مهما كلف الأمر، لذلك فقد طلبوا من النساء والأطفال والشيوخ مغادرة القرية بهدف تخفيف الخسائر بين العزل، وتحرك هؤلاء عبر الجانب الجنوبي من القرية، ولم يكونوا على علم بأن القرية مطوقة من مختلف الجهات، لذلك فما أن بلغوا مشارف القرية الخارجية حتى تصدى لهم الصهاينة بالنيران، رغم كونهم نساء وأطفالاً وشيوخاً عزل، وكانت حصيلة المواجهة 260 شهيداً.

La pressione popolare serve. Bisogna continuare.
Il PD resta un partito vomitevole ma questa è l’unica speranza che il ddl non passi: devono capire che perderanno quel pochissimo di faccia che gli resta.
Sui social e nelle strade, ognuno di noi deve continuare la pressione.

Today, September 23rd, marks the birthday of my brother, Dr. Refaat Al-areer, may God have mercy on him. Speak of him in words; don't hold back, he deserves more than that 😭 He was a doctor, a poet, an angel, a brother, and a friend. He was more than just a human being 🥹

700 nurses have graduated from the Islamic University of Gaza.

Every day, Gaza shows us the best of humanity.

Out of nothing, they make miracles.

The Empire has two offensive lines across West Asia and one is broken and the other breaking. The Empire's line along the Persian Gulf has collapsed completely. “They blew the hell out of Bahrain,” as the Navy Sec said. The Army Sec didn't say anything, he resigned instead. 1/4

It's so incredibly sad that journalist Saleh Al-Jafrawi is no longer with us.

What a blessing he was!

For the intellectually lazy, “the Houthis” may be a convenient label. Analytically, however, it reduces a nationwide movement to the surname of one family and conceals the diversity, scale and indigenous foundations of its constituency. If you continue calling Ansar Allah 'The Houthis', read this:

The al-Houthi are a prominent Zaydi Hashemite sādah family, originally associated with the town of Hūth and later established in Saada. They are neither a tribe encompassing Ansar Allah nor a family to which all the movement’s supporters belong.

The label “Houthis” was popularised by the government of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh during its wars against the movement, identifying it with its founder, Sayyed Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi.

Ansar Allah has since developed into a broad political, social and military movement sustained by tribal alliances, religious networks, military personnel and supporters extending far beyond the al-Houthi family and its lineage.

Can you imagine a school year beginning as if things were normal, while students are literally studying under the threat of drones and bombs around them?

This is Gaza, and this is its will to live and strive for a future, even while uncertain of surviving the present.

[Connolly III 🇵🇸 @BannedConnolly]

A Gaza, tra ieri e oggi è ricominciata la scuola.

400.000 studenti e studentesse hanno frequentato il primo giorno di lezioni chi per la prima volta, chi dopo una lunghissima sospensione.

Chi è fortunato può trovarsi in una classe in una tenda spaziosa, con addirittura dei banchi: chi lo è meno, in una tenda di fortuna, dove le insegnanti e gli insegnanti fanno il possibile tra mezzi inesistenti e difficoltà inimmaginabili.

Infine c’è chi ancora non ha un luogo dove poter andare a scuola, in un vero e proprio genocidio dell’educazione pianificato e voluto dai nemici dell’umanità.

Mohammed Bin Salman, architect of the brutal war on Yemen that led to 377,000 deaths, now being defeated by Yemen, wants you to believe this:

“If it weren't for our fear for the innocent people of Yemen, we would have conquered it in one week and eliminated the Houthis.“

[Nora Barrows-Friedman @norabf]

I’m amused (revolted) by this new spate of liberal zionists insisting that their ✨inherent goodness that they anointed themselves✨ and their ✨presence✨in occupied Palestine is somehow a right to remain settlers and lecture Palestinians about the right way to resist genocide

[Federica D'Alessio @federdale]

La società verso cui stiamo andando tutti è quella perfettamente rappresentata dalla vicenda della prof fascista accoltellata da un alunno e salvata dall’altro.

La società in cui si diventa killer a 13 anni perché le reti sociali più a portata di mano sono quelle alienanti e nichiliste, mentre le persone che dovrebbero rappresentare i punti di tenuta e tessitura della società sono incoraggiate a esprimere tutta la banalità del male, dell’odio e dell’ignoranza, facilitando così la caduta delle persone in reti sociali alienanti e nichiliste,

e gli unici rimasti a conservare un briciolo di umanità sono strutturalmente emarginati dalla società stessa.

Siamo, collettivamente, questa roba qui.

Una società disgregata, alienata, in cui la disfunzionalità è forza, viene promossa e premiata, e rimanere umani comporta diventare reietti ed emarginati.

[Angelo Giuliano 🇨🇭🇮🇹 @angeloinchina]

Important analysis from @KevorkAlmassian.

The Empire is not improvising around Bab el-Mandeb. It is trying to lock a chokepoint while Ansar Allah keeps raising the cost of that lock.
Israeli intelligence reaching Riyadh through CENTCOM is not a “report.” It is the architecture becoming visible. Quiet military coordination against Iran is the same story: the old order trying to harden itself before the map finishes changing.
Yemen is no longer a sideshow. The battle there is rewriting the Red Sea security system and forcing a more open US–Israel–Saudi alignment into the open.
Respect to Kevork. He watches the region, not the press release.
Be informed. Not entertained.

Circa 60.000 bambini in età scolare a Gaza non hanno mai frequentato un singolo giorno di scuola.
Ma anche chi riesce ad andarci, è costretto a farlo tra mille ostacoli e difficoltà che rendono tutto terribilmente complicato: la aule sono nelle tende, provvisorie, mancano materiali e molte altre cose che noi diamo per scontate.

La scuola è forse la cosa più importante in assoluto all’interno di un tessuto sociale; devastare il sistema scolastico è una delle priorità per chi vuole distruggere una società. Un atto genocida in tutto e per tutto.

Facendo una donazione a Sameer Project, è possibile contribuire anche a rendere più normale possibile l’esperienza scolastica a tanti bambini, e fatico a pensare a qualcosa di più importante.

Iran did not just fire missiles and drones at US military bases across West Asia. It appears to have demonstrated something far more consequential; the ability to find, reach and seriously damage heavily defended American military infrastructure thousands of miles from Iran.

And now, some of the evidence is coming from inside the US military itself.

CBS News has reportedly obtained exclusive photographs from active duty American soldiers showing extensive damage at multiple US bases across the region of west Asia.

The images include a direct hit on a Boeing E-3 Sentry at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, with the aircraft's tail severed from its charred fuselage. Other images show destroyed buildings, barracks and vehicles at US military facilities in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

One deployed US soldier told CBS:

"This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to the American public."

Another was even more blunt:

"We were not defending these bases. We were just watching them get destroyed."

Remember those are not Iranian claims. They are accounts coming from American personnel on site.

And the numbers are nust getting harder to hide. A new Pentagon inspector general report cited by CBS puts US equipment losses at up to $3.7 billion, including nearly 60 aircrafts. SIXTY!

The report also says US Central Command recorded Iranian retaliatory strikes affecting American bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman and Jordan.

That matters a lot because this was not simply a question of whether Iran could launch missiles. The more important question was whether those weapons could penetrate the regional military architecture built around American bases, surveillance systems, hardened positions and air defenses.

The photographs suggest that many of them actually did. And that is where the Trump administration's propaganda narrative starts colliding with the physical evidence on the ground.

For years, Washington has presented its military presence in West Asia as an overwhelming deterrent. An enormous network of bases, aircraft, intelligence assets and advanced weaponry designed to guarantee American "freedom of action"..that's just another word for occupation and imperialism but I digress.

Yet when the missiles arrived, even some of the supposedly hardened infrastructure proved vulnerable.

Iran had been under decades of sanctions, technological restrictions and military pressure. Its commanders were repeatedly assassinated, its infrastructure attacked and its weapons development constrained.

Yet when the confrontation came, Iranian missiles and drones demonstrated the ability to reach all American bases across the region and, according to the Pentagon's own figures, inflict billions of US dollars in equipment losses.

And then comes the funniest part. Donald Trump has repeatedly insisted that Iran lost. He has resisted even calling the confrontation what it plainly was: a war.

But apparently, in Trump's version of events, if American bases are damaged, aircraft are destroyed, billions of dollars in equipment are lost, and US forces are reduced to watching their positions burn... that still counts as winning.

Perhaps the White House should try telling that story to the photographs, because photographs have a rather inconvenient habit: they do not need a press secretary to stand right there and LIE through their teeth.

A short history lesson to debunk Saudi lies about who has historically really attacked Mecca.

Below are images from the scenes of the Saudi forces' assault on the Grand Mosque in Mecca, with smoke rising from the mosque during their attack on the Safa and Marwa galleries, reportedly with the assistance of the French special forces GIGN in 1979, in what became known as the Grand Mosque seizure.

The incident began on November 20, 1979 (1 Muharram 1400 AH), when Juhayman al-Otaybi and hundreds of his followers entered the Grand Mosque in Mecca and seized control of the Grand Mosque by force, in response to the wave of Westernization that had swept through the country at the time.

Although it is strictly prohibited for non-Muslims (aka infidels) to enter the boundaries of the sacred Grand Mosque, according to the consensus of Muslim jurists throughout the ages and based on an explicit Qur'anic verse (which MBS later abolished), the Saudi authorities decided to seek the assistance of a full team of French non-Muslims to storm the Grand Mosque.

Contrary to the official Saudi regime narrative, which downplays the extent of foreign involvement in the 1979 Grand Mosque incident, testimonies from French operation commanders, Western documents, and independent investigations, including those by the BBC and Al Jazeera, reveal that the French role was the mastermind behind, and a central pillar of, the operation that ultimately secured win for the Saudi regime after its initial military attempts failed.

After the early assaults by Saudi army and National Guard forces failed, with the Saudi forces suffering heavy losses against Juhayman's entrenched group, the Saudi regime faced a threat to its political and religious legitimacy. King Khalid bin Abdulaziz therefore sent a secret and urgent request to the then-French President, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, asking him to rescue the regime from the crisis. Giscard d'Estaing responded immediately, fearing the collapse of the regime and the potential impact on global oil supplies.

Paris secretly dispatched a small team of elite French Gendarmerie forces from GIGN, led by Captain Paul Barril and two of his colleagues, including Christian Lambert.

Given the strict religious prohibition against non-Muslims entering the Grand Mosque, numerous accounts, including French testimonies and Western intelligence reports, state that the French experts underwent a "formal and expedited procedure for a nominal conversion to Islam" (!) by reciting the two declarations of faith before Saudi officials in order to overcome the religious and legal obstacle.

Although some subsequent official Saudi and French accounts attempted to claim that the French team directed operations from a hotel in the nearby city of Taif without entering Mecca itself, the French team has confirmed that they entered the Grand Mosque and participated directly in the assault and crackdown alongside Saudi forces.

The French found that the Saudi forces were disorganized and their morale had collapsed, and that storming the basement and narrow galleries, such as the Safa and Marwa gallery, was impossible using conventional weapons without causing mass casualties among the assaulting forces. Accordingly, the French team:

Reorganized the entire assault plan and trained Saudi forces, as well as some Pakistani auxiliary forces, in Taif. They also supplied and shipped large quantities of a special chemical gas, CS gas (ortho-chlorobenzalmalononitrile), known as a riot-control agent that causes severe irritation and incapacitation, and supervised the drilling of holes in the floors and ceilings of the Grand Mosque and its underground areas, through which gas and water were pumped into the hideouts in an effort to force Juhayman's group to surrender or emerge incapacitated and unable to continue fighting.

Gaza has exposed the hypocrisy of Arabs and Muslims, except those in the Axis of Resistance led by Iran.

While Gaza and south Lebanon have been reduced to rubble and Palestinians and Lebanese continue to be killed, the region's military leadership is busy sitting around the same table.

In Germany, the chiefs of staff of terorist Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt reportedly met alongside the commander of the U.S. Central Command.

According to reports, Israeli enemy Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir briefed the participants on Zionist Israel's military operations across multiple fronts.

And according to the Israeli entity's public broadcaster, Tel Aviv has begun providing Saudi Arabia with intelligence through Washington.

Meanwhile, during Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Cairo, security discussions reportedly took place with U.S. military participation, including a U.S. proposal for a regional mechanism to assist Riyadh against Yemen. (Mind you it was KSA who broke the ceasefire deal and Ansarullah just retaliated)

Read that again.

The people who spent years lecturing the world about "regional stability", "security" and "peace" are now coordinating militarily while Gaza continues to bleed.

Some news stories do not need commentary really. The facts are already the indictment.

Syria is now being opened to privatization, with the promise that integration into the global economy will bring prosperity.

But exactly the opposite is happening.
