Recently, Israeli forces subjected a one-year-old child to abuse to pressure his father into giving confessions east of Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, according to local and family sources.

The child's father, Osama Abu Nassar, suffered psychological trauma after the death of a horse he used for income. While taking his child to buy supplies a few days ago, he was caught in gunfire near his home and forced by soldiers to leave his 18-month-old son on the ground and approach the Israeli checkpoint, where he was stripped of his clothes.

According to witnesses, the army then took the child and interrogated the father at the checkpoint. The forces tortured the child in front of his father, including burning with cigarettes on his leg, pricking, and inserting a metal nail into his leg, as confirmed by a medical report.

The child, Karim, was released after 10 hours and handed over to his family through the International Red Cross, while the father remains in detention.

🇺🇸🇮🇱The US is not Fighting Iran "For Israel"

Western empire going back to Roman times sought control of the Middle East in pursuit of greater primacy.

The British Empire sought control over the region in pursuit of GLOBAL primacy - and the US has simply picked up where the British left off.

The US seeks primacy over the ENTIRE planet - the Middle East is part of the planet - thus the US seeks primacy over the Middle East as well as the Western Hemisphere, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Israel was a joint US-British creation as a means of facilitating this regional control just as both nations have created proxies around the globe throughout history up to and including now with nations like Ukraine, the island province of Taiwan, etc.

The US seeks control over the Middle East to control its oil - specifically to deny it to China. This is a stated objective spanning years of policy papers. It also seeks to topple Iran as a member of the multipolar world as a means of whittling it down.

If/When the US topples Iran it will then pivot to further encircling Russia and China.

ALL of these conflicts are connected - including through the US strategy of using regional proxies to advance its interests.

In Europe it is Ukraine, in the Middle East is it Israel, Jordan, and the Persian Gulf states, in Asia-Pacific it is the island province of Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines.

For those citing munition shortages and other symptoms of US imperial overreach during this current conflict as "proof" it is suffering instead at the expense of "Israel" - munition shortages and energy crises began with the US proxy war in Ukraine years earlier.

Some other facts:

AIPAC spending is dwarfed by US arms manufacturing lobbying alone saying nothing of big-oil, big-pharma, big-tech etc.;

Israel is entirely dependent on US arms, munitions, joint military industrial production, air and missile defenses, ISR, and both political and financial support - support that Israel would blow away in the wind without;

Last year the US literally used Israel to trigger its war on Iran to absorb the blame and retaliation in full from the resulting conflict - as per US policy papers proposing doing so as early as 2009;

This year Israel again absorbs the brunt of the retaliation - and thanks to useful idiots - sole blame for the conflict instead of Wall Street and Washington;

IMPORTANT: Pointing this out does not somehow "defend Israel" or negate Israel's crimes any more than Ukraine being a US proxy negates its many and multiplying crimes.

The US and its proxies are all guilty.

It is important to hold EVERYONE involved in injustice accountable.

It is most important to deal with a global threat at its root and that root lies in Wall Street and Washington - not an artificially created country completely dependent on both.

Thread: Any assessment of Hizbullah’s decision tonight must situate it within the cumulative regional trajectory rather than treat it as a sudden, isolated or unexpected escalation. Hizbullah publicly articulated its rationale in its initial statement, & the timing corresponds to a sequence of developments that, taken together & individually, have significantly altered the regional strategic environment. 1/

US military intervention against Iran in conjunction with economic warfare and support for sectarianism DOES NOT constitute a regime change operation. That hasn’t been the play for years.

Warhawks are hoping for deep destabilization and Balkanization.

[Hussain “Hoz” Shafiei @HussainShafiei]

There is no legal right for Israel to preemptively attack Iran. None.
No UN mandate. No declaration of war. Just threats, bombs, and Western governments lining up like fucking enablers.

Britain inserting itself militarily makes us accomplices.

Walk away from this apartheid state and stop underwriting regional collapse.

🇧🇫Captain Ibrahim Traore and Burkina Faso did not only win the battle on food sovereignty, they also won it on digital sovereignty.

Burkina Faso is now on top of Digital sovereignty in the region.

From now on, Burkina Faso will no longer be storing its data with the imperialists.

“I’m now Somaya’s voice, because she cannot speak to anyone, I’m her eyes and ears, because she can’t see or hear anything from the outside world”

Palestinian journalist Somaya Jawabra, who was abducted by Israeli occupation forces while pregnant, spent more than two years forcibly shackled, gagged, and confined inside her own home under a suffocating house-detention regime that stripped her of every basic freedom.

Today, she remains effectively a hostage of the Israeli occupation, unable to move, speak freely, or live a normal life.

HOW KERALA ERADICATED EXTREME POVERTY

On November 1, the southern Indian state of Kerala announced that over four years, it had eradicated extreme poverty among its 36 million people. This milestone stands as the latest landmark achievement for a state that has stood out for decades across all metrics of human dignity, boasting India's highest Human Development Index, life expectancy, and literacy, among others.

What's the secret to Kerala's success? In a word: communism. In its very first election, the state brought to power India's first communist government in 1957, under the leadership of EMS Namboodiripad. It immediately set to work on a program of land reform, anti-caste affirmative action, and universal education and healthcare so ambitious that the central government in Delhi actually dissolved it. But the people of Kerala returned the communists to power again and again, especially in recent years, with the Communist Party of India (Marxist) governing continuously since 2016.

Over the course of four decades, the communist-led Kerala model slashed poverty from 60% to 11% by 2011 with broad-based universal policies. But the final push to eradicate the last vestiges of extreme poverty demanded a different, much more targeted approach. In 2021, the government mobilised hundreds of thousands of local officials and grassroots communities -- especially the mass women's organisation Kudumbashree -- to identify 64,006 families in extreme poverty individually. They used a multidimensional approach that identified four "non-negotiable" essentials: food, income, shelter, and healthcare. And they ensured every single one of those 64,006 families had long-term access to all four before declaring victory.

It's a model not for top-down clientelism, but bottom-up community empowerment, harnessing both the resources of the state and the political will of the masses. In that it drew abundant inspiration from China's incredible feat of eradicating absolute poverty by late 2020, meeting a self-imposed schedule even amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. But Kerala's communists equalled that achievement while facing an obstacle their Chinese comrades haven't confronted since 1949: a hostile and increasingly fascistic central government. For that reason, their accomplishment serves as a shining inspiration in its own right for liberatory projects across the globe.

Politicians constantly claim that the government must “live within its means”, just like any family.

In this video, I explain why the household analogy is not only wrong — it is the foundation of austerity, underfunded services, infrastructure decay, suppressed wages and collapsing public trust.

Governments create money. Households use money. Governments must manage real resources, not bank balances. And when governments cut spending, their income falls — the exact opposite of what happens to you or me.

Understanding this difference is essential if we want a better economy, proper public services, fairer taxation and a stronger democracy.
