I'm so glad someone finally made this compilation. If you know the person, please tag her (I got it in a WhatsApp group). Each of the countless times I watched shows randomly insert something about Israel in shows and films, I would wish I had the time or skill to create something like this. To be sure, what this woman put together is a tiny glimpse. Pay attention next time you're watching something. It's inevitable you'll run into some mention of Israel in ways that portray it as benevolent or magnificent.

Here is the trick applied to resistance movements across history:

Step one: Create the conditions that make resistance rational.

Occupation. Blockade. Poverty enforced by structural policy. Political exclusion. Cultural humiliation. Violence that goes unaccounted for.

Step two: Wait for resistance.

It always comes. It always will. Because the alternative to resistance is the permanent acceptance of conditions no human population has ever permanently accepted.

Step three: Treat the resistance as the origin point.

Express shock. Express outrage. Express the genuine confusion of a party that has successfully erased its own role in producing what it's now responding to.

Step four: Respond to the resistance with force.

Call the force security. Call it defense. Call it the protection of civilization from people who, the timeline now clearly shows, were always violent.

Step five: Point to the violence of the resistance as proof that the original conditions were justified.

They were dangerous. We always said so.

This is not a conspiracy.

It is a pattern so consistent across so many contexts over so many decades that it is better understood as a system.

A system for converting the consequences of your actions into evidence for the righteousness of your actions.

We have video evidence of Israelis blocking over 300 ambulances. Just in the past 3 years.

That is over 100 videos a year of Israelis blocking ambulances. Imagine how many times Israelis blocked ambulances without any published videos.

Aimé Césaire wrote it in 1950 and Europe has been trying to ignore it ever since.

In Discourse on Colonialism, he stated plainly: what the "very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century" found unforgivable about Hitler was not what he did.

It was to whom he did it.

Hitler applied to European people the methods that Europe had been applying to African and Asian people for centuries.

The dehumanization.
The racial hierarchy.
The biological categorization that placed some human beings outside the protections extended to others.
The organized, bureaucratic, industrialized killing.

None of that was new.

The novelty was the victims.

When Léopold II ran the Congo as a personal extraction enterprise and killed an estimated ten million people — when his agents cut off the hands of Congolese workers who did not meet their rubber quotas, when they took photographs of the severed hands arranged in rows, European civilization was not seized by an unprecedented moral crisis.

It was a business story.

A question of colonial administration.

A management problem in a distant place populated by people whose deaths registered as statistics, when they registered at all.

Hitler's crime, in European memory, was not the method.

It was the application of the method to people Europe had decided were people.

That decision, who counts, is what Césaire was writing about.

It has not been adequately answered.

Oh fuck you. FUCK you. You don't get to do this now. You don't get to turn around and go "Oopsie poopsie, we made a mistake!" This was YOUR genocide, motherfuckers. YOURS. You chose it. You own it. Forever. The stench of the rotting corpses in Gaza will follow you for all time.

Isn’t it strange that Iran didn’t hit a single hospital or school, not even by mistake, while Israel and the United States, despite claiming to have the world’s most precise weapons, have repeatedly attacked civilian infrastructure? 🤔

They “double-tapped” an 18 year old on her way to school. They are monsters. I hope Andy Burnham is proud to be a Fiend of theirs…

There is a reason Israel is known as the genocidal apartheid rape regime.
This documentary, very disturbing and not for the faint of heart, explains why.

🟡 New: Hezbollah Hails Iran’s “Great Achievement”

🔹Hezbollah congratulated Iran on the memorandum of understanding it reached with the United States, calling it a “great achievement” that produced “a comprehensive ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon,” in a new statement Monday.

🔹The group praised Iran’s “legendary steadfastness” and thanked its leadership, including the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Mojtaba Khamenei, as well as Iran’s government, the Revolutionary Guard, and armed forces.

🔹Hezbollah expressed gratitude for Tehran’s insistence that Lebanon “be present in any understanding that leads to ending the war,” saying Iran had “borne the burdens of blockade and aggression” to ensure it, proving itself “a strong and faithful ally.”

🔹The group also saluted “all the countries that participated and helped” reach the agreement, and said Lebanon should make use of this “regional and international umbrella” to achieve its sovereignty and the liberation of its land.

🔹Hezbollah framed the deal as a beginning rather than an end: “a prelude to completing the path of full liberation of our land,” the return of prisoners, and the rebuilding of what the war destroyed.

🔹It urged displaced residents not to return to frontline villages yet, citing the risk of Israeli violations, and warned: “The Israeli enemy must understand that there is no return to before the second of March,” the date the latest Israeli assault escalated.

🔹The statement closed with a domestic message, calling on the Lebanese state and “all political forces” to return to “the unity of the national position,” and to abandon “illusions and losing bets”, a jab at the state and rival forces as the government separately negotiates with Israel and pushes to disarm the resistance group.

They teach their children that America was founded on freedom.

This is technically true and functionally a lie.

It was founded on freedom for a specific group of people, built on the land of people who were killed to make room for it, with labor stolen from people who were not considered people.

This is not a radical interpretation. This is what the documents say. This is what the archaeology says. This is what the ledgers say.

And they know. The educated ones know. They learned it in college. Some of them teach it.

But knowing it and integrating it, letting it change your fundamental self-image, your relationship to the country, your understanding of what you owe and to whom, that is different.

Knowledge without integration is decoration.

They have decorated their guilt beautifully.

It has not changed anything structural.

The people who were killed for the land are still dealing with the consequences of that land being taken.

The people whose labor built the wealth are still dealing with the consequences of that wealth being extracted.

The pretty acknowledgment sits on top of the unchanged structure.

And is called progress.

🇺🇸 The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to invoke the War Powers Act and order an end to President Trump’s unauthorized military operations against Iran, passing the measure 215-208 in a bipartisan rebuke of the Trump admin’s handling of the three-month-old war.

🔸Four Republicans broke with party leadership to join Democrats in support of the resolution: Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett, and Warren Davidson. (AP News)

🔸Sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks, the measure directs the president to withdraw U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress formally declares war or passes a specific authorization for the conflict.

🔸The vote comes after House Republican leaders postponed an earlier vote before Memorial Day amid concerns they lacked the support to defeat it. The Senate has already advanced its own version, signaling growing bipartisan pressure on the White House to seek congressional approval for the conflict.

Americans should understand that the era of hit and run is over!

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

A few days ago, my family made a decision that no family should ever have to make.

We packed a small bag with our most important documents and agreed to carry it with us wherever we go.

Not because we are planning a trip, but because we have learned that in Gaza, life can change in five minutes.

Our home was already destroyed in the war. Now we live in a rented apartment, and yet even this temporary shelter no longer feels permanent.

The recent escalation in airstrikes and the growing number of homes being destroyed minutes after warnings are issued have brought back a feeling we know too well:
The feeling that nothing is certain. Not where you will sleep tonight, not whether you will return home, not whether the place you call home will still exist tomorrow.

I sometimes think about how absurd this transformation has been.
Once, we had a large house and a garden, today the most important things we own fit inside a single backpack.

Identification cards. Passports. Certificates. A few papers proving who we are.

Sometimes I look at that bag and wonder how an entire life became so light.
As if years of memories, celebrations, losses, and ordinary days had all been folded into documents that can be carried on a shoulder.

Yesterday , an airstrike hit very close to where we live. Two people were killed, and twelve others were injured.

What troubles me most is that we were there. We had been walking through the same streets, moving through the same area.

Had our timing been slightly different, had we stopped for a few extra minutes, had we taken another route, perhaps this post would never have been written.

That is how thin the line between life and death has become.
A few minutes. A coincidence. A different turn at the corner.
This is what life feels like now.

Not a life built on plans, but on probabilities. Not security, but luck. Not certainty, but survival.
So we carry our bags with us, not because they contain our possessions, but because they contain the last evidence of the lives we once had.

And perhaps the strangest part of all is that we have begun to treat this as normal.
A family carrying emergency bags wherever they go. An airstrike a few streets away. A narrow escape. And then another ordinary day.

But none of this is ordinary.
No family should have to carry its past on its shoulder because it is no longer certain of its future.

And no human being should ever have to live this way!!

This is extremely shameful.

🇦🇺Australian filmmaker Juliet said:

"I was raped by an Israeli soldier inside a darkened shipping container while handcuffed and shackled on a Gaza aid flotilla.

They also used water torture and beatings."

The matter is even more shameful when the whole world is silent and toothless on this 😭

Israel killed Sarah in Gaza on the first day of Eid — burning her alive in her own home.

She was only 9 years old.

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

I used to think the most remarkable thing about Gaza was how people survive death.
Lately, I have begun to think it is how they survive life.

For the past two days, I have found myself walking through the streets, studying the faces of strangers. I was trying to understand a contradiction that exists nowhere more clearly than here:
How do people continue to laugh after burying those they love?

How do weddings still happen?

How do mothers still buy sweets for their children?

How do people keep searching for small fragments of happiness while carrying so much grief?

Yesterday, I saw a crowd gathered around an elderly woman on the side of the road, she looked as though she was about to collapse.

I approached and introduced myself as a doctor, but before I could ask what had happened, a young woman standing beside her spoke.

“It is the sadness,” she said.
Then, after a brief pause: “Whenever there is a happy occasion, she remembers my brother who was killed in the war.”

“She starts crying. Sometimes she loses consciousness.”

I checked on her and continued walking.

But I carried the scene with me.

A while later, I heard a young man shouting for water.
I turned and saw another elderly woman being held upright by two men.

Her body had not failed her. Her grief had.

I walked over and asked only one question:
“Was she remembering someone she lost?”

The young man looked at me and nodded.
“Yes. My brother.”

The same story.

Twice, within less than thirty minutes.
Two women. Two families.
One wound.

And this is the truth,
Gaza exists in two realities at the same time.

The first is visible.
Children playing, markets crowded with people, families attending weddings, mothers preparing meals.
Life insisting on itself.

The second reality is hidden beneath the surface.

A city of empty chairs, unanswered phone calls, bedrooms preserved exactly as they were the day their owners never returned.
A city where every moment of happiness accidentally steps on a memory.

Perhaps that is why joy feels different here.
It never arrives alone, it drags sorrow behind it like a shadow.

Every celebration has an absent guest, every smile carries a name.
Every mother who watches children play sees one child that nobody else can see.

And yet people continue, that is the miracle. Not that they are strong. Not that they have healed.

But that they continue.
They gather, they laugh, they fall in love, they make plans for tomorrow.
All while carrying losses heavy enough to stop a heart.

And this is what Gaza truly is:

A place where people keep planting flowers in the ruins, while beneath their feet, the graves are still fresh.

🇧🇩 🇮🇳 Tensions are rising along the 4,000-kilometer India-Bangladesh border as New Delhi expands a mass deportation campaign targeting people accused of being undocumented migrants, while Bangladesh refuses to accept what it calls illegal unilateral “push-ins” across the frontier, The Straits Times reported.

🔸Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, India has intensified its “detect, delete, deport” campaign in border states including Assam, West Bengal, and Tripura. Indian authorities have expanded border surveillance systems using drones, radar, and verification tribunals that have declared thousands of residents “foreigners,” triggering detention and deportation operations.

🔸Bangladesh accuses India’s Border Security Force (BSF) of bypassing formal repatriation procedures by forcing people across the border at night or abandoning them on remote river islands. In response, Bangladesh’s Border Guard (BGB) has launched loudspeaker warning campaigns in border districts such as Brahmanbaria, increased patrols, and reinforced intelligence operations to block unauthorized crossings.

🔸Dhaka says it will only accept individuals if India provides definitive proof of Bangladeshi citizenship through official bilateral channels. India’s Foreign Ministry has reportedly asked Bangladesh to verify the nationality of more than 2,860 suspected undocumented individuals currently living in India.

🔸Human rights groups have criticized the deportation campaign as arbitrary and discriminatory, warning that many of those targeted are impoverished Bengali-speaking Muslims or Rohingya refugees who have lived in India for years but lack the resources to navigate complex citizenship cases. Relations between India and Bangladesh have also deteriorated following political upheaval in Dhaka, complicating efforts to resolve the growing border crisis diplomatically.

Israel massacred six medics in Lebanon today, but Western media didn't cover it because they are too busy trying to manufacture consent for an illegal US invasion of Cuba.
