An unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.
Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before the president as a gesture of cooperation.
Then, at the last moment, the United States abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to turn around and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.
What followed was even more grotesque.
After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had thrown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.
This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.
It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.
And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.
The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear.
@PulaRJS@markcurtis30 40 (imaginary) dead babies filled every headline in the West on 8 October 2023, but 127 (real - alive yesterday) dead schoolgirls won’t rate even one Western headline today.
Yeah total mystery this one. Truly impossible to guess. Next up: why were African American neighbourhoods zoned for industrial development during Jim Crow US. Another of life’s unsolvable mysteries
بين يدي صفقة العزّ وختام المعركة الأعظم في التاريخ، نحن بحاجة لاستذكار الحقائق:
في هذه المعركة قاتل معنا اللبنانيون واليمنيون والعراقيون والإيرانيون، وأفرادٌ من شعوبنا المظلومة، وبذلوا في ذلك من دمائهم وديارهم، وآوى قيادتنا القطريون، وحاصرنا النظام المصريّ، وأطاع فينا العدو، وخذلنا أكثر حكام العرب، وغازلوا عدونا وفتحوا له الأبواب، وانفرد النظام الأردني بفضيحة القتال مع الصهاينة جهارا نهارا بالتصدي للمسيرات والصواريخ التي تستهدفهم.
نحفظ المواقف جيدا، خيرها وشرها، وعند الله كتاب لا يغادر صغيرة ولا كبيرة إلا أحصاها، والتاريخ لا يحابي ولا يرحم.
هنيئا لمن قاتل مع غزة، والفضيحة والخزي والعار في الدنيا والآخرة لكل من خذلها أو وتواطأ مع عدوها أو قاتل إلى جانبه.
والله من وراء القصد.
The granddaughter of Hitler's finance minister says Muslims brought antisemitism to Germany
She's employing this logic to crack down on criticism of Israel's genocidal policies
Massacre de masse au Liban par l'armée d'invasion de Netanyahu. D'heure en heure le bilan s'aggrave. Plein soutien à la résistance nationale des Libanais.
Two political parties that both serve the same interests, fifteen news outlets all fighting to prevent change, and forty-seven flavours to add to your coffee: the illusion of choice hides the reality of servitude
“I want a wheelchair. This one is broken.”
A video posted online shows an elderly Palestinian man requesting a replacement wheelchair as his current one is broken.
The day after the Belgian government decided not to follow the US and Germany in cutting #UNWRA funding, the office of the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation in Gaza became a target and was bombed.
Summoning the Israeli ambassador will not be enough. Economic sanctions would be a more appropriate response.
I see. You can kill anyone you like on a land that you are illegally occupying, brand him/her terrorist, and then vilify as antisemites the ancestors of everyone who questions your right to kill anyone you like on a land that you are illegally occupying.
Want to talk about terrorism? Fine. Here is the latest incident/example: Israeli undercover soldiers/agents entered Jenin Hospital this morning and shot dead 3 injured Palestinians in their hospital beds while being treated. Rule-of-Law Western style!
Look around. There are not mass demonstrations supporting the Palestinian genocide. There are mass demonstrations supporting Palestine and the resistance, even in the world’s richest countries where politicians are backing Israel’s extermination campaign. There is a right side.
