Today in Haaretz there is an article accusing Israel of being a terrorist state (plus committing crimes against humanity). It was not written by a Marxist member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
It was written by former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert.
Wasn’t sure a new low was possible, but we’ve reached it in Gaza: daily killings, continued bombardment and forced starvation - with zero media coverage. Complete normalisation of genocide.
Capitalism is so good that it has only existed for 0.00000011% of the Earth's life YET in that time it has helped push the planet toward a mass extinction event.
The Mississippi cop killed a baby because the management at Walmmart claimed A BABY was shoplifting a pack of diapers (bis mother had a receipt), and now they police have unleashed tear gas on community members protesting the execution of a baby.
This is America.

Some of those women gave everything so you could sit in that chair, and you repay them by rewriting and erasing their stories, to give cover for genocide. Absolutely pathetic.
3 young women doing this, while 2 billion Muslims around the world are just watching and training in gems like inflated balloons, saying we can’t do anything.
I can’t really describe the cowardice and servility enough.
These 4 people will leave lots of shame to haunt us forever.
Thank you, thank you for your bravery and everything. ❤️🇵🇸
Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes.
Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead.
As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence.
Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.
