Tragically, there are very few innocents in Israel. It is difficult to justify or see how such a damaged country can continue to exist without endangering humanity.
15-year-old Shamima Begum is groomed and trafficked to Syria by ISIS, kills no one, has her British citizenship revoked.
Dr. Eastland Staveley volunteers for the IDF, brags about killing Palestinian children, returns home, gets a job in the NHS.
Spot the difference.
Basically every Israel-Palestine debate goes like this:
"Israel did X."
"Yeah, because the Palestinians did Y."
"Yeah, because Israel did Z."
"Yeah but only because the Arabs did A."
But if you bring the debate back far enough in time, eventually you get to the part where the western world forcibly dropped a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization without the permission of — and to the extreme detriment of — the people who were already living there.
Sure you can go further back and say "Oh yeah well the Jews lived there thousands of years ago," but that's just silly. There's no valid reason to believe some Jewish guy in New York City even has any meaningful lineage connecting him to that land more strongly than any random Muslim in Turkey or wherever, and even if there was, it would still be absurd to cite ancient history as the basis for a territorial claim. I'm only a few generations removed from my ancestry in Ireland and Scotland, but it would be ridiculous for me to show up demanding the home of someone who lives there.
So the original source for the grievance is clearly the artificial creation of an ethnonationalist state in the mid-20th century, and the push by Zionists and western imperialists to make it happen.
And how has that decision worked out? You see the results before you. Generations of nonstop violence and abuse, culminating in the slaughter and chaos throughout the middle east today.
This means that creating Israel was a mistake. A mistake that needs to be corrected.
Zionists will collapse into a shrieking pile of vitriol and hyperbole when you say this, claiming you're calling for the extermination of Jews, but this is false. Certainly ending a national order premised on putting the interests of Jews before Palestinians and righting the wrongs of the past would inconvenience a lot of the Jewish people who've been living there, but there's no basis for the claim that it would entail their deaths. Apartheid South Africa was dismantled without the extermination of millions of white people, and there's no reason to believe the dismantling of apartheid Israel would entail the extermination of Jews.
The Israel experiment has been tried, and it has failed. It is time to try something else.
This should be evidence in a war crimes trial
A British spy plane circles Khan Younis—the major area of fighting in Gaza at time—for 2 hours on 28 July 2025
We learnt later that intel gathered was being sent to the Israeli military in real-time

🇪🇸 BREAKING: Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu
He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.”
He also adds that the EU will suspend its Association Agreement with Israel very soon.
This is what true leadership looks like.
Israel murdered Dr. Nadim Chamseddine in Mount Lebanon today.
Not a fighter. Not a threat.
A doctor. A healer devoted to saving lives.
Israel slaughtered his wife Asrar, also a doctor, and their 3 children.
Amazing that 4 empty ambulances in London being set on fire got global news coverage and condemnation.
Yet the full on bombing and destruction of a synagogue in Tehran by Israel, with the chief rabbi labelling it a terrorist attack, got no coverage.
Why is this?
🚨HOLY SHIT !!!!!
Israeli politician Yitzik Kroizer says killing Palestinian children is normal if it supports the IDF mission.
He adds there are no innocent children in the West Bank.
Repost this. Please I beg you
Today was my shift at the hospital.
Since our return to the Indonesian Hospital, I’ve been working side by side with two doctors. One of them was Dr. Mahmoud Abu Amsha.
This morning, he was late.
We called. No answer.
We waited. Still, no sign.
Then the news came, cruel and sudden: Mahmoud had been killed in an airstrike. His body was brought to the very hospital where we stood waiting for him in silence that no words could fill.
I’ve known Mahmoud not just as a colleague, but as a brother in the trenches.
When the Israeli army stormed northern Gaza and most doctors fled for their lives, Mahmoud stayed. He and Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya were the last to hold the line at Kamal Adwan Hospital. Mahmoud - the only remaining surgeon - worked tirelessly in a place that had become more graveyard than hospital.
From inside, he sent me voice notes. Fragments of despair and courage. I posted them here, hoping someone, somewhere, would listen.
When the hospital finally fell, Mahmoud was taken. Beaten. Then released.
He made it to Gaza City with nothing not even his shoes. We went together to buy him some clothes. I teased him that he wouldn’t get to wear them all before another evacuation forced him to leave them behind.
I didn’t know then that his next departure would be eternal, not displacement this time, but disappearance into the silence of death.
When I opened our free clinic, I messaged him.
He was still trapped in Kamal Adwan.
“Just stay alive,” I told him. “Come when you can.”
He survived. He showed up. He volunteered two days a week, treating the wounded without asking for anything in return. With his hands, he healed. With his presence, he gave us hope.
And now, he’s gone.
Another light extinguished in a city of endless mourning.
Mahmoud’s death is not just mine to grieve. It is a wound in the heart of Gaza’s medical soul. It is a loss to the patients who will never know his care, to the children who will never feel his steady hands in the ER, to the future we are watching collapse one healer at a time.
We did not lose just a doctor.
We lost resistance in its noblest form.
We lost mercy.
Rest well, my friend.
You gave everything.
#GazaGenocide
This is one of the most resilient acts the world has ever seen:
The people of Iran are forming human chains around their power plants & bridges as Trump threatens to drop a nuclear bomb and end their entire civilization tonight.
Greta Thunberg:
“The President of the United States just said an entire civilization will die tonight, and never be brought back again, and no one is reacting.
This speaks for itself.
We have normalized genocide.
We have normalized the annihilation of entire peoples.
We have normalized the systematic destruction of the biosphere we all depend on.
We have normalized corrupt, racist war criminals acting with total impunity.
But it is not too late to say: STOP. If we don’t, we have no right to call ourselves human.”
The actual, official 2024 Democratic Party platform accused Trump of "fecklessness and weakness" for failing to go to war with Iran during his first term.
Kamala Harris labeled Iran the #1 enemy of the United States.
In their 2024 debate, Harris repeatedly slammed Trump for being too soft on America's enemies and announced that she "will always give Israel the ability to defend itself, in particular as it relates to Iran and any threat that Iran and its proxies pose to Israel."
There was no "plan" for avoiding this. Your people wanted this war as much as Trump and his handlers did. That's why they're doing nothing right now.
Hussam Abu Safieh is one of the Palestinian doctors (among 95 other doctors) that will be killed by the “Israeli death penalty for hostages.”
Do not let them murder him. Repost this.
