[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

For nearly 3 months, Sama Safi, a 20-year-old US citizen, has suffered in an Israeli military prison. She has a chronic health condition, and doctors warn she may experience irreversible organ damage.

My colleagues and I are demanding that Secretary Rubio secure her release immediately.

BREAKING: Israel is wiping out entire neighborhoods in South Lebanon right now.

War crimes in broad daylight. During a “ceasefire,” no less.

Not a peep from the “international community.”

Not a word from the International Criminal Court.

It’s crazy this even needs to be said, but if you are a westerner your ONLY job is to oppose the abuses of the western empire. Not Iran. Not China. Not Russia, Cuba or North Korea.

If you live in the US or one of its allied nations, then you live under the single most tyrannical and murderous power structure on earth, and that’s where your focus belongs. You do not have any legitimacy in squandering any of your energy and attention criticizing human rights abuses in empire-targeted nations while living under a globe-spanning empire that is fueled by a nonstop river of human blood. It is not okay for you to use your western privilege to attack the nations your own government is working to help absorb into the power structure you live under.

Whenever I say this online I’ll get some Trotskyist or anarchist babbling about the need to express “solidarity” with Iranian political prisoners or whatever, but whenever I press them on what actual, material benefit those expressions of “solidarity” bring to the people they’re meant to help, they can’t point to anything solid. Whereas I can point to some very obvious ways in which contributing to an imperial war propaganda campaign can help grease the wheels for real material actions which hurt actual Iranians.

If you’re a westerner, you have an obligation to use your voice responsibly. If you are feeding into the latest “the people in the empire-targeted nation need liberation from their evil tyrannical government” war propaganda narrative with your expressions of “solidarity” and your blind insistence on treating all bad things as equally bad, then you are using your western voice irresponsibly, and you are morally culpable for the mass slaughter you help facilitate with your recklessness.

It’s not okay to be a citizen of the western empire and act like human rights abuses in an empire-targeted nation are of equal or comparable concern to the far more egregious abuses of your own leaders and their allies. It’s also not okay to be a fully grown adult and believe the use of force in empire-targeted governments is happening separately from their targeting by the empire, as though Iran would look the way it looks today if the US and Israel had not been working to collapse and control it for generations.

Iran has only survived the latest imperial onslaught because Tehran tightly controls what happens in that country. The only reason we didn’t see Xinjiang absorbed into the western power umbrella with the help of CIA-backed separatists is because Beijing waged a sweeping crackdown on the extremist factions who’d been launching attacks in the province. The only reason North Korea has gone relatively unmolested by the western empire in recent years is because its government obtained nuclear weapons. It’s baby-brained analysis to pretend such things happen independently of the US and its allies working to take control of unabsorbed nations and force them into compliance with Washington’s capitalist world order.

The western empire therefore makes the world a crueler and more abusive place not only by its direct acts of cruelty and abuse, but by the way it forces its targets to choose between (A) annihilation and (B) using extreme amounts of force to retain their sovereignty. The empire we live under is responsible for the vast majority of the dysfunction and misery in our world, and yet you as a westerner want to spend your time yelling at Iran? Fuck off, man.

Yesterday, I came across two children who appeared to be around ten years old late at night. They were carrying a bag and searching beneath the rubble of destroyed homes for anything they could sell so they could buy food with the money. The two brothers leave at the early hours of dawn and do not return until midnight.

The children arrived carrying a plastic pipe, the only thing they had managed to find since the morning. They offered it to a plastic-materials dealer, who asked them how much they wanted for it. They told him that they only wanted enough money to buy a falafel meal for themselves and their younger siblings in the tent.

This scene actually happened right in front of me. I couldn’t help but ask the two children about their parents. One of them told me that he no longer had a father or a mother; both of their parents had been killed. The children now live in a tent in the Nuseirat area in central Gaza, and they work every day simply to get a meal for themselves and their younger siblings in the tent.

These orphans, despite their young age, carry a burden that even adults would struggle to bear. Yet despite their desperate circumstances, no one sees them or helps them. Simply put, they cannot appear on social media at all; they have no phone, no account, and no voice that can reach the world. They are children living in the shadows, struggling every day just to afford a meal, while the world around them passes by as if they do not exist.

All what i want is to tell the world that what you see on your phone screens is only a small glimpse of the suffering endured by the children of Gaza, and that life here is far harsher and more brutal than the human mind could ever comprehend.

[Ashok Swain @ashoswai]

Gaza - If this is not genocide, what is it then?

[The Resonance @Partisan_12]

Western media won’t show Israelis punching and beating Palestinian women.

But they’ll flood prime time with “oppressed Iranian women” Made Up Stories

Don't expect the depravity of Israel to stop EU Member States from doing Business or playing Football with this evil Israeli Regime. As Marx once said "Capital is indifferent to the morality of its investments, it seeks only profit"....

Report from Zowtar, a so-called pilot zone, where the Israeli army is still carrying out operations. They detonated a civilian home during the report.

Israel is dropping bombs on civilian areas in Taybeh, South Lebanon—despite a so-called “ceasefire.”

No justification. No military targets.

Just terrorism, destruction and war crimes in broad daylight.

We have long crossed into the cartoonishly evil part of this genocide.

An Israeli settler attacks the elderly and disabled Palestinian Sheikh Saeed Al Amour in the village of Al Rakeez in Masafer Yatta.

Sheikh Saeed lost his leg after being shot by settlers a year and a half ago.
