Found while researching:
Malaya was the most profitable colony in the British empire, with exports in 1926 worth more than all the other British dependencies combined—more than India, Ceylon, Nigeria, the Gold Coast, Uganda, Kenya, Egypt, and Fiji put together.
Fuad Nassar, the great Palestinian communist, became a communist in Iraq, when the British authorities accused him of being a communist, even though he'd never heard of communism before. "Communism must be good if it pisses you so much," he told them. And then became a communist.
Over the last decade, Left historians have devoted loads of attention to the history of conservatism,
neoliberalism, fascism, libertarianism, the fringe, etc. Probably time to devote more attention to the history of left thought at a moment when it’s in great need of renewal.
KHABIB TAKES THE MIC AND SHOWS RESPECT TO IRELAND FOR SUPPORTING PALESTINE 🇷🇺🇮🇪🇵🇸
“Ireland is the biggest supporter in the world for Palestine, we love you guys because you show support to our brothers in Palestine”

“The crazy thing about scenes like this is that they powerfully demonstrate something from the Israeli side.
The people in this video have been captives in Gaza for over a year, and despite Israeli efforts to block food and clean water, and despite their genocidal assault on Palestinians which destroyed every hospital in Gaza and carpet bombed 70% of Gaza’s infrastructure into oblivion, they appear to be a healthy weight, and mentally present.
Israeli prison facilities face no immediate dangers and their state has immeasurably more money than the Palestinian resistance. It would cost them nothing to treat Palestinian political prisoners like humans even if it was just to uphold the image they want to project to the world, but they hate Palestinians so much that they can’t even do that.” - @orekelewa_etc
