Vietnam. Lebanon. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Syria. Gaza. And now, Iran.
Millions dead.
They have been feeding us the same lies of “security,” “human rights,” and “defense” for decades.
In reality: colonial interests, strategic control, oil, arms profits, and corporate power.
It's so creepy how evangelical Christians fetishize Jews and Israel. They treat the modern state of Israel like a magical fantasy land and talk about Jewish people like fairy folk, because those words happen to appear in some ancient book of made-up stories.
They regard today's genocidal apartheid colonialists in the state of Israel as biblical Israelites, and think some dentist in New York City is the same sort of person as the fictional characters they read about in the book of Exodus. It's like if someone took over New Zealand and named it "Middle Earth" and started calling all the Kiwis "hobbits", and then all the Tolkien nerds started oohing and ahhing about it and planning expensive trips to go see the land where Gandalf and Frodo once walked, and started organizing lobby groups and voting blocks to promote the foreign policy interests of "Gondor" (formerly Wellington).
And the modern state of Israel is built around facilitating this exact type of fetishization. They resurrected a dead language that hadn't been spoken conversationally anywhere on earth for centuries and changed the name of their currency from the lira to the "shekel" in order to facilitate this Bible-LARPing and build on the illusion that their brand new ethnostate is the same as the nation that Jews and Christians have been reading about in their ancient scriptures. All to ensure that a western political support base will push western governments to pour modern war machinery into propping up this ridiculous apartheid state with the nonstop violence required for its perpetuation.
It's so fucking insane. "Ooh, we've got to send bombs and attack helicopters to the magical Jew kingdom so that the magical Jesus prophecy can come true and make us all go to Eternal Paradise!" Fucking freaks. Stop doing this.
I, together with ICC judges and Palestinian HR defenders, need your help to counter US admin's abuses.

The EU must not ignore its responsibilities toward us!
The Netherlands just put another $1.2 billion into its cycling infrastructure.
They aren't being generous, they're actually being cheap. National infrastructure projects of any size are legally required to undergo a cost-benefit analysis before they get built.
They ran the numbers on cycling and every dollar invested came back as roughly $8.90 in benefits: lives saved, healthcare costs avoided, quieter streets, cleaner air, less congestion. 6,500 fewer premature deaths a year, six more months of average life expectancy across the entire country.
A few years ago they were skeptical of a $17 million cycling bridge across the Maas River. They ran the analysis. The bridge was predicted to save $132 million over its lifetime, so they built it.
Most conversations about cycling infrastructure start with "how do we pay for it?" The Dutch conversation starts at "what's the cost-benefit ratio." That's the key difference.
The Netherlands isn't just subsidizing bicycles, it's refusing to waste money on the alternative.
HISTORY IS COMING: 40c IN EUROPE

Thousands of records will be pulverized in Spain,Portugal,France,Benelux,UK;SCandinavia,Germany,Alps,Czechia,...
ALERT! Yet another act of piracy by the Israeli army in international waters: intercepting the flotilla carrying basic necessities to a desperate population in Gaza. Shame on European govts who are not acting to stop Israel! When will Israel's impunity end?
“But 6 million Jews were killed”
A Palestinian man: “Did I kill them?”
“I never hurt a fly in my life”
This video really breaks my heart. The man paid the price of Europe’s hatred of the Jews.
Dal carcere, Thiago ha dettato questa lettera al suo avvocato:
“Cara Teresa,
mi dispiace non essere a casa con te in questo momento.
Purtroppo tuo padre, tua madre e tante persone in tutto il mondo hanno compreso il compito storico che abbiamo la responsabilità di portare a termine.
Oggi più di un milione di bambini stanno subendo un genocidio: vengono lasciati morire di fame, subiscono amputazioni senza anestesia e soffrono a causa di idee orribili e cariche di odio, pur non sapendo cosa siano il sionismo e l’imperialismo.
Sono certo che ti manco moltissimo; anche tutte le madri e i padri dei bambini palestinesi sentono terribilmente la loro mancanza e darebbero qualsiasi cosa per poter vivere una vita fatta di amore, felicità e gioia, quella che ogni essere umano merita, indipendentemente da razza, religione, etnia o qualsiasi altra caratteristica.
Il tuo mondo sarà più sicuro perché molti genitori hanno deciso di dare tutto per costruire un futuro migliore per te.
Spero che un giorno tu possa capire che, proprio perché ti amo così tanto, non c’era nulla di più pericoloso per te e per gli altri bambini che vivere in un mondo che accetta il genocidio.
Ti prego di ricordare tuo padre come la persona che ti cantava e suonava la chitarra per farti addormentare. E quando crescerai, la tua mamma ti dirà anche che tuo padre era un rivoluzionario e che, anche di fronte alle persone più terribili del mondo, Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu e Itamar Ben-Gvir, è rimasto saldo nella convinzione di costruire un mondo migliore.
Per favore, non dimenticare la Palestina.
Con tutto il mio amore,
Thiago Ávila”
ALARM!
How on earth is possible that Israel is allowed to assault and seize vessels in international waters just off Greece/Europe? Besides what you can think of Apartheid Israel and its genocidal leaders, this should send shock waves across Europe.
Apartheid without borders.
@MLB202424@skogvandrernews Tény, Mo.-t korábban is fosztogatták. 2010 után a rendszer más lett: A vagyont itthon írták át iparágakká, koncessziókká, közbeszerzésekké és oligarchavagyonokká.
Ezt nevezni „nemzeti vagyon gyarapodásának” olyan, mintha a rabló kastélyát beleszámolnád a falu gazdagodásába.
We have just departed Italy and our fleet has expanded! The participants’ boats were filled with aid and ready to break the siege on Gaza.
It’s time to end the colonization of our seas. A safe, humanitarian corridor must be opened.

@99blackbaloons Most Humans have estranged themselves from nature.
Before even reaching to the point on the evolutionary ladder at which living in harmony with nature is the self-evident model for all, a long decay is taking place, and AI will ultimately accelerate the demise.
@99blackbaloons I realize I didn’t express my thoughts properly: I didn’t mean to belittle their work in any way. Nor said they don’t discuss collapse seriously enough.
I just guessed you were the most undiplomatically direct. Which is surely among the reasons why so many people love your work.
@PardiZoltan A szavazóik felé az lesz a duma, hogy az USA-ban marad erősíteni a magyar nemzetet és a jobboldalt, MAGA-rendezvényekre járva.
S ezzel egyidejűleg ellehetetleníti a baloldal által indított koncepciós pereket, amelyekkel tönkretennék a több évtizednyi becsületes munkát.
