Rafeef Ziadah - 'We teach life, sir', London, 12.11.11 https://t.co/Y8b3tSDaVD via @YouTube “We Palestinian’s wake up each morning to teach the rest of the world about LIFE, sir. 🇵🇸🇮🇪
Usual drivel from Applebaum. What binds those countries is refusal to bow to US imperialism, by far the greatest source of war, mass murder and violence in the world.
Albanian protester mocks the notion Ivanka Trump "discovered" their only island, telling PBS News Hour, "We have only one island!"
"I'm a tour guide, I go into that island like 60 times per year!"
Israeli historian @bartov_omer speaking on prime-time TV in Italy:
“[Israel is] a country that is unwilling to face the truth, and that brings us to the issue of genocide... When genocide occurs, the entire society of the country perpetrating it becomes complicit in that genocide.
Therefore, we must ask ourselves: in the case of Israel, where there is a conscript army made up of the sons and daughters of most Israeli citizens, what does it mean for a country to be involved in these activities? It means that everyone becomes part of this event: those who carry it out, those who deny it, and those who do nothing to stop it...
In the case of Israel, this is a country going through a profound phase of denial...
When people say that criticism of Israel, criticism of Zionism, or even the rejection of Zionism is antisemitism, frankly, that is nonsense. It concerns the rejection of a specific ideology that is no longer sustainable.”

Surprising no one: Israel lied. The car was not “accerating towards the soldiers”, it was fully stopped. The “single shots” were to the head of a 7 month old baby. Who is evacuated without any help from the soldiers. Never forget Sam. May his memory haunt these monsters forever
Jonathan Pollard… who was literally convicted and served 30 years in prison for spying on the US for Israel.
These antics make more sense when you realize that Israelis get off on shoveling shit down the throats of brainwashed American boomers.
He who constructs his 'ladder' from 'chaos' convinces himself that he will rise to dominion over men. Yet he remains blind to the first and most inevitable truth: the maker of chaos is always its primary victim.
The man who finds no value in honouring his obligations or preserving peace, but instead prospers through discord, deception, and perpetual strife, condemns himself to an exhausting and Sisyphean labour. Each day he must ignite a new fire merely to feed the old. He is not the master of crisis, but its prisoner; and no prisoner, however imposing his shadow, can ever be called truly powerful.
The fomenters of strife are, in truth, not architects of power but captives of the very forces they unleash. For once awakened, such forces do not discriminate between ally and enemy, nor between the hand that summoned them and the lives they devour.
Their final humiliation arrives the moment they realise that the weapon they forged to subjugate others has slipped its leash and now possesses a will of its own. In that bitter awakening lies the true poverty of their power—and the beginning of their inevitable downfall.
On October 29, 2023 Refaat Alareer made a joke about the obvious “Hamas put a baby in an oven” hoax that Zionists were pushing.
Bari Weiss knew damn well that no Israeli babies were put in ovens on Oct 7. She knew damn that only one Israeli baby period was killed on Oct 7.
But that didn’t matter. She took Refaat’s joke about this ridiculous hoax and tweeted it out to her millions of rabid Zionist followers and within hours he was receiving death threats from IDF soldiers.
Refaat and his family were murdered by a targeted Israeli airstrike on his home a month later.
The level of complicity of the @BBC in the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon is shocking. I am listening to their Jerusalem correspondent report that the ‘IDF are striking Hezbollah targets’ while I’m on the ground in the middle of it watching men, women and children being killed on a daily basis. My colleagues are being executed. Paramedics are being systematically murdered. All of this is happening in plain sight and the BBC correspondent here in Lebanon knows it.
May you all be put on trial for your deadly propaganda when the time comes. Shame on all of you, especially those on the ground who are too cowardly to speak out.
Genocid nad Palestinci ni ustavljen in ljudje v Gazi in na Zahodnem bregu ne živijo v miru in dostojanstvu. Danes izobešena zastava Palestine na pročelju Predsedniške palače, ki bo tu ostala en teden, potem pa bo, kot opomin vsem, ki obiščejo moj urad, stala v notranjih prostorih, pa pomeni še mnogo več. Je simbol grobih kršitev mednarodnega humanitarnega prava in človekovih pravic ne samo v Palestini, pač pa tudi drugod po svetu. Je preprost klic k spoštovanju temeljnega civilizacijskega načela: človekovega dostojanstva - za vse.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
An audience member at a Q&A recently asked me why I'm so apocalyptic. The genocide in Gaza, beyond being a tragedy, marks an irreversible shift in the global world order. Before the genocide, the imperialist ambitions of the Western oligarchic class were partially constrained by the utopian ideal of the rules-based order. Now that ideal is gone, and unrestrained barbarity will characterize the methodology of the war-making ruling class. In other words — our future is an apocalyptic one.
“The first thing anyone noticed in Theodosia was her smile. We’d always see her laughing.”
This Lebanese student was killed by Israel just after finishing her final exams. Theodosia Karam is one of over 3,500 people killed by Israel’s attacks on Lebanon since March.
