Reading about this amazing doctor — he was retired before October 2023, returned to volunteer in the hospital, was abducted and imprisoned for 200 days, tortured, starved, abused. He returned to the hospital as soon as he was released. A true hero. https://t.co/zQmDsQn8Wd
"They could not stop you from looking at Palestine, so they bought the screen you were looking through."
How the western ruling class and the Zionist lobby spent $14 billion to take back control of our minds:
The United States was never a democracy of the working majority. It was founded as a bourgeois republic built on stolen Indigenous land, enslaved labor, and property power. Workers produce the wealth; capital commands society. That is the dictatorship of capital.
A rocket hasn't been fired from Gaza in 18 months. And Hamas has handed administrative control over to a technocratic interim committee. Yet the apartheid state continues killing children daily. Almost as if it's a holocaust and not a war
The whole “antizionism is/not antisemitism” argument is obsolete at this point - unnecessary and unproductive:
1. It is unnecessary because it has been already made abundantly clear and the vast majority do understand the difference between a political ideology and a religion.
2. It is unproductive because it bears no relevance to the urgent need to end Israel’s colonial violence.
We must stop perpetuating this manipulative discourse by disengaging with it in comments and discussions with Zionists, who by the way are the main purveyors of this false conflation.
They busy some of us with intellectual and etymological quandaries, forced to defend our morality, while they kill the rest of us.
Even if the vast majority of Israelis who are overlooking this genocide are Jews, we are still entitled to be disgusted by and criticise Israel.
The “antizionism is/not antisemitism” argument’s sole purpose is to centre Jewish feelings over Palestinian suffering and serve as a distraction from Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.
Don’t fall for it please.
“The Moment Ahmad Raised His Hands in Surrender, an Israeli Soldier Shot Him Directly in the Head”
The Guardian reports that Palestinian aid truck driver Ahmad Esleem was shot dead by an Israeli soldier while transporting humanitarian aid into Gaza, in what eyewitnesses and Gaza’s Transport Companies’ Association describe as a field execution.
Esleem, who was delivering food for World Central Kitchen (WCK) through a fully coordinated humanitarian convoy, was ordered out of his truck after one vehicle broke down near the Philadelphi Corridor.
Witnesses say Israeli soldiers forced the drivers to strip, assaulted them, and made them stand under the sun. As Ahmad Esleem raised his hands in surrender, an Israeli soldier shot him directly in the head.
The 30-year-old, a father of two children, including a one-month-old baby, was killed despite wearing official identification, carrying all required permits, and operating under coordination approved by the Israeli military, according to his employer and Gaza’s truckers association.
Witnesses also said Israeli soldiers threatened the surviving drivers, warning they would meet the same fate as Esleem.
"Grassroots volunteer group to defend their town against rising settler violence" fundamentally describes the PLO, Hamas, PFLP, Hezbollah, and all anti-Zionist resistance factions.
When these guys get too effective, Israel will just bomb them and say they're terrorists.
Police officer shot & killed a 1 year old baby and shit just exited the news cycle because this country doesn’t care about black lives.
WERE NOT MAD ENOUGH! A FUCKING ONE YEAR OLD BABY
@JJ_McCullough someone being so horrible as to forcibly evict another from their home based on ethnicity, and you are more concerned with the image that presents for the OPPRESSOR? what kind of piece of shit are you? how do you live with yourself?
🧵Before becoming a UN expert I spent years researching forced displacement in Palestine since the advent of Zionism and British colonialism.
A refuge for millions, for Palestine's Indigenous people Israel meant catastrophe. Once you know you cant unknow. The rest is integrity 👇
ICE claimed that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo drove his van into one of their SUVs and later attempted to run an ICE agent over. The first thing our local media pointed out was the lack of damage on Araujo’s van. One of the best investigative journalists in Houston, Jeremy Rogalski, found surveillance camera footage showing ICE ramming the van minutes before shots were fired.
The ICE story is already falling apart.

“ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE!”
Houston is in the streets tonight at the site of yesterday’s ICE murder of father and long-time resident Lorenzo Salgado Araujo to demand justice for his stolen life and an end to ICE terror in our communities once and for all.
The story of the terminally ill Christian monk who gave us the "Children of Gaza" archive.
Months ago we found a Telegram channel with that name, documenting Israel's daily crimes against children. As we always do, we began investigating and downloading a copy — and discovered it was run by a terminally ill monk living in a monastery in Transylvania, in the Carpathian mountains. Yes, Transylvania.
A young woman, Sally, was helping him. Together they documented thousands of atrocities against children and sent them to us. He told us he wanted to spend his final days resisting what he saw as the gravest crimes against children — and that is exactly what he did.
He has now passed from his illness. He never saw his work reach the public, and never knew about our new site or the attention it has drawn. May God bless him and grant him mercy.
We were asked not to share his name, but we were given these images of his monastery in the Carpathians to share:

The Wikipedia entry for Rafah, a city bigger than Limerick, is now in the past tense.
It is gone. Not a single building left intact.
An entire city erased by Israel.
They are the Nazis of today.
