Well this is truly appalling:

The IDF now accepts the Gaza Health Ministry’s conservative official death toll figure of 71,000 Palestinians. Yet, for 2 years of a genocide it claimed those same figures were false - and the BBC News and other media insisted on seeding doubt in the mind of the public by using the inaccurate phrase “Hamas led” Health Ministry.

En la tarde de ayer, el entrenador de la Selección Sub 20 de Marruecos, Mohamed Ouahbi, recibió nuestra camiseta 🇲🇦

Además de su labor en el deporte, el entrenador también se destaca por su compromiso social, apoyando activamente a una fundación dedicada a los refugiados palestinos 👏🏻

Desde aquí, le deseamos mucho éxito en la final de la Copa del Mundo Sub 20. ¡Vamos con todo, Profe! ❤️💚

Après deux décennies de recul progressif des inégalités, le Maroc a vu ses acquis reculer entre 2019 et 2022, sous l’effet de la pandémie, de l’inflation et des sécheresses. L’indice de Gini est ainsi revenu à un niveau proche de celui du début des années 2000.

“Benjamin Netanyahu tells i24 he feels he is on a “historic and spiritual mission,” and that he is “very” attached to the vision of a Greater Israel, which includes areas slated for a future Palestinian state and possibly also areas that are part of present-day Jordan and Egypt.”

@Hamsek @Stigy__ Donc si tu vas à Cuba et que tu passes par l'ESTA pour les US c'est mort, si tu demandes un visa à mon avis ça vaut le coup de se renseigner au cas où t'aurais besoin de visiter 3adouwat chou3oub

@Hamsek @Stigy__ Je suis allée à Cuba en 2020 et je n'ai pas eu de problème pour aller aux US plus tard (ESTA)
Le 12/01/21, les US ont ajouté Cuba à la liste des pays soutenant le terrorisme donc + de contraintes pour les personnes ayant visité Cuba après cette date

I simply refuse to believe it. There is no way Russell Brand is a comedian

[حسام شبات @HossamShabat]

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :

“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.

By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.

I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”

— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

This is like a case study in extreme apartheid. They built a cage around a Palestinian family's home to separate it from the Jewish settlement surrounding it. The only gate to the cage is controlled by the Israeli army.

None of these people are even remotely on the left.

The real important story that happened since the Cold War is perhaps best illustrated by this Margaret Thatcher anecdote: in 2002, she was asked for her greatest achievement. She replied: "Tony Blair and New Labour. We forced our opponents to change their minds."

And guess what: she was right, that was indeed her greatest achievement.

That's what happened throughout the West: the ideological takeover of the "left" by "social democrats" who had no substantial difference to their opponents across the aisle. And in order to maintain the pretense that they were different, they decided to focus their platform on cultural and identity issues while abandoning any challenge to economic or imperial power - reducing civil rights struggles to convenient diversions from questions of class and systemic change. It's not the left that's unpopular, it's this sanitized ersatz of it. Voting essentially became a choice between the same product with different packaging, the illusion of choice.

Even more contemptible: candidates who emerged who were actually on the left, who wanted to drive actual substantial and meaningful change, were endlessly demonized with some of the most dishonest and disgusting tactics in politics. Jeremy Corbyn in the UK is a perfect example of this - smeared as a national security threat (and an antisemite) not just for his economic program but for questioning the wisdom of NATO expansion and opposing Western imperialism. In France we're currently seeing much the same playbook being applied on Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

This ties back to the concept of "extreme center" described by thinkers such as Tariq Ali, Pierre Serna or Alain Deneault. A radicalized form of liberalism that presents itself as moderate and reasonable while actually taking extremist positions in defense of the status quo - whether through unwavering support for imperial adventures abroad or the suppression of democratic alternatives at home. This centrism is 'extreme' in how viciously it reacts to any genuine left-wing challenge to the established order, whether through media smear campaigns, lawfare, or the cynical weaponization of identity politics to defend both domestic inequality and imperial power.

The irony and the situation we today find ourselves in is that this "extreme center," in its zealous defense of neoliberal orthodoxy and its refusal to address fundamental economic grievances, ended up creating the very conditions of social instability and political polarization it claims to stand against. And, ultimately, the conditions of its demise as we're currently seeing throughout the West.

The sad result though is that because the actual left has been so thoroughly demonized, legitimate popular anger and resentment largely get directed towards nihilistic movements that, far from solving our fundamental problems, channel these sentiments into scapegoating and division. These movements won't solve our fundamental problems - while they may break with certain aspects of neoliberal orthodoxy, they mostly offer the aesthetic of rebellion while dropping even the pretense of serving the common good.

That's where we are: the victory of the 'extreme center' over the left has proven to be simultaneously absolute and self-defeating. Thatcher's boast about Blair might have been premature - her true legacy may not just have been making the left compatible with neoliberal economics, but creating a world where our only choice is between the plague and cholera.

Joe Biden admits he warned Netanyahu to stop carpet bombing communities

Netanyahu replied by comparing Israel’s actions to US carpet bombing of Berlin and dropping nuclear bombs

Biden essentially admits he allowed Netanyahu to carpet bomb Gaza for over 15 months and commit genocide, providing almost $30 billion in military aid and weapons shipments

Genocide Joe is as guilty as Netanyahu for the horrors we have witnessed in Gaza

[Brett Murphy @BrettMmurphy]

There is a ceasefire deal, so I want to share this story from my past year reporting inside the State Dept. trying to answer the central question of Biden’s foreign policy:

How did the U.S. let Israel get away with widespread horrors in Gaza? 1/
