Free Palestine! From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free

Yemenis after waves of massive Israeli bombings over two days, striking more than 20 times across 10 sites today alone:

“We will not leave Gaza, we will not leave Gaza

We will not abandon Gaza.

Even if all of Yemen is wiped out. Let nuclear weapons come, We will not leave Gaza, we will not leave Gaza.”

Mahmoud Khalil isn’t an illegal alien.

He isn’t a terrorist.

He’s a Columbia graduate student and a legal U.S. resident. He's a husband. And his wife, a US Citizen—8 months pregnant—has no idea where he is.

The Department of Homeland Security snatched him off campus, disappeared him without a trace. No charges. No trial. Just gone.

This is how authoritarian regimes operate.

It's what happens when the First Amendment only applies to the “right” kind of people—it's only a trial balloon for a broader crackdown on speech.

If they can do it to Khalil, they can do it to you.

First, they come for the speech of legal immigrants.

If we don't speak up, do you know what comes next?

[Jackson Hinkle 🇺🇸 @jacksonhinkle]

I stand in solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil!

Muslims are not a threat to you.
Russia is not a threat to you.
China is not a threat to you.
Trans people are not a threat to you.
Immigrants are not a threat to you.

If you find yourself resisting anything I just said, that's where they hooked you. That's where your rulers duped you into blaming your problems on something other than them.

You will notice that I am not saying there are no enemies and nobody poses a threat to us; there absolutely are, and they absolutely do. It's just that people are tricked and manipulated away from seeing the real enemies and the real threats where they are.

What poses a threat to you is the political status quo which robs your country of riches and resources to inflict military violence on innocent people overseas while strangling your civil rights and poisoning your planet. What poses a threat to you are the oligarchs and empire managers who uphold this status quo which is driving our species to authoritarian dystopia and extinction via environmental disaster or nuclear annihilation.

They want you blaming your problems on anyone else besides the actual source of your problems. They prefer to get you freaking out about their primary targets — the disobedient groups and nations they want to destroy to advance the interests of the empire — but if they can't accomplish that then they're happy to get you hating powerless groups who pose no real threat to you. Anything they can do to keep your eyes off your real oppressors: the billionaires, bankers, media barons, intelligence agencies, warmongers, ecocidal capitalists, military-industrial complex plutocrats, and all the empire lackeys in your official elected government.

They want us fighting each other, but we only pose a threat to each other if we buy into their bogus narratives of hostility and division. An immigrant is only threatened by a right winger because the right winger has been successfully duped into blaming his problems on the immigrant, and therefore elects empire lackeys who will make the immigrant's life more difficult. But without that artificially manufactured enmity, it's just two people being abused by the same pricks at the top.

Whenever I say stuff like this I'll get people voicing objections like "No no Caitlin you don't understand, we really truly ARE seriously dangerously threatened by The Trans Agenda" or whatever. But you're not. That's just you doing the thing I'm describing here. You're just buying into the exact scam I'm talking about. You're allowing your crosshairs to be moved from your oppressors to some irrelevant diversion in order to protect your oppressors.

At some point we need to stop falling for the scam. We need to wake up to the fact that we're all just a bunch of normal people living in a highly abusive society, and that our abusers are benefiting immensely from our inability to see through their divide-and-conquer manipulations and unite against them.

Muslims are not a threat to you.
Russia is not a threat to you.
China is not a threat to you.
Trans people are not a threat to you.
Immigrants are not a threat to you.

The US empire is a threat to you.
Your own government is a threat to you.
Oligarchs are a threat to you.
Nuclear brinkmanship is a threat to you.
Ecocide is a threat to you.
War and militarism are a threat to you.
Tyranny is a threat to you.
Propaganda is a threat to you.

Your enemies are not in Moscow, Beijing and Tehran. Your enemies are in Washington, Virginia, New York and Los Angeles. Your enemies are in London, Paris, Brussels and Tel Aviv. Your abusers are not some far away nation your own government doesn't like, nor are they some marginalized group your government doesn't care about. Your abusers are your government itself, and all its allies and assets around the world, and the network of oligarchs and empire managers who call the shots in this globe-spanning power structure from behind the scenes.

The sooner we get this straight, the sooner we can sort out all these problems we're currently being duped into blaming on the wrong people.

@RobertUggla & @marc_engel_ @Maersk, there’s nothing socially responsible about shipping weapons for genocide. Terminate all contracts shipping weapons to Israel immediately. #MaskOffMaersk #StopShippingGenocide

[ktj27 @ktj_27]

@Maersk executives – Your shareholders don’t want to invest in war crimes. Your customers don’t want to support genocide. Your brand is sinking. CUT TIES WITH GENOCIDE NOW. #MaskOffMaersk #StopArmingIsrael

[ktj27 @ktj_27]

@VincentClerc_m – You can’t do business as usual when your hands are covered in blood. Maersk must IMMEDIATELY terminate all contracts shipping weapons to Israel, or face global backlash. #MaskOffMaersk #StopShippingGenocide

[ktj27 @ktj_27]

@Maersk executives – This is your chance to act before your shareholders force you to. Vote YES on the resolutions to stop shipping weapons to Israel. If you don’t, we’ll make sure the world never forgets. #MaskOffMaersk #StopArmingIsrael

[ktj27 @ktj_27]

@Maersk executives – The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Israeli war criminals. If Maersk keeps supplying their war machine, how long until you’re under investigation too? Drop the contracts before it’s too late. #DivestFromGenocide #MaskOffMaersk

[ktj27 @ktj_27]

@VincentClerc_m @RobertUggla @Maersk – Every Maersk shipment of military cargo to Israel enables war crimes. Every contract you sign with Israel’s military makes you complicit. #StopArmingGenocide #MaskOffMaersk

[ktj27 @ktj_27]

@Maersk executives – Your role in genocide is now exposed. Your ships are under scrutiny. Your investors are questioning you. STOP THE TRANSPORT OF MILITARY CARGO TO ISRAEL NOW. #MaskOffMaersk #StopArmingIsrael

[ktj27 @ktj_27]

@Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc – Do you care about Maersk’s reputation? Spain has already denied entry to your ships for transporting weapons. More sanctions and lawsuits are coming. Stop the transportation of military cargo to Israel! #DivestFromGenocide #MaskOffMaersk

[ktj27 @ktj_27]

@Maersk executives – You can’t hide! Your company fuels genocide. Your shareholders are voting. Your customers are watching. And we will not stop until Maersk drops ALL Israeli military cargo contracts. #MaskOffMaersk #StopArmingGenocide

[ktj27 @ktj_27]

@VincentClerc_m @RobertUggla: – Your company is responsible for shipping over 2,000 military cargo shipments to Israel in the past year. You are responsible for war crimes. The blood is on your hands. #MaskOffMaersk #StopShippingGenocide

[ktj27 @ktj_27]

@Maersk @VincentClerc_m & @RobertUggla: The world is watching. Will you continue profiting from genocide or end Maersk’s role in arming Israel’s war machine? The choice is yours. #MaskOffMaersk #StopArmingGenocide #CutTiesWithGenocide
